the output is determined by the input alone
Here is a function that imports CAMGIRLS Sales data to the AFFILIATE
PROGRAM
function($result)
{
$myxml = simplexml_load_string($response);
$qid = $myxml->SignupData['QueryId'];
if ($qid == 'camgirls-com') {
$host="mysql.camaffiliate.com"; // Host name
$username="camaff"; // Mysql username
$password="*********"; // Mysql password
$db_name="afftrail"; // Database name
$tbl_name="pa_transactions"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect
to server ");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$assets = $myxml->SignupData;
$html = '<ul>'."\n";
foreach ($assets->Data as $asset) {
$html .= '<li>' . $asset['SignupTime'] . ' ' .
$asset['TrackingID'] . ' ' . $asset['UserID'] . '</li>' . "\n";
$sut = $asset['SignupTime'];
$tid = $asset['TrackingID'];
$uid = $asset['UserID'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE transid=" . $uid;
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$userthere=$rows['transid'];
// if table has no UserID value
if(empty($userthere)){
$sql1="INSERT INTO $tbl_name(transid, dateinserted, totalcost,
affiliateid) VALUES('$uid','$sut',80,'$tid')";
$result1=mysql_query($sql1);
}
}//end foreach
$html .= '</ul>'."\n";
// echo $html;
mysql_close();
}
But the results of the function are not determined only by the input
If a new client has already been added... then it is not added a 2nd
time!
// if table has no UserID value
if(empty($userthere)){
*********************************
You can CHANGE a function with global variables and side effects into
a PURE FUNCTION
by adding more parameters into the parameter list.
