Getting Helper Data php in magento - magento

Have been trying to get a variable percentage from two helper functions inside .phtml file in magento
basically i have two variables based on two helper functions that on their own output/echo static numbers. Problem is in the below php they are just displaying as the value and not dividing/multiplying. So like i said the helper data & module work is using the data as variables to do/complete the equation within the .phtml file. See code below
get->FunctionA() just equals a round number value (from a collection)
get->FunctionB() just equals a round number value as well (from a collection)
probs not the best way but this just outputs two values from helper data and not dividing.
echo Mage::helper('module/data')->getFunctionA() / Mage::helper('module/data')->getFunctionB();
Also this does not work either, just produces the same result and is probs the best/easiest way
$dataA = Mage::helper('module/data')->getFunctionA();
$dataB = Mage::helper('module/data')->getFunctionB();
$result = ($dataA / $dataB) * 100;
echo $result;
Like i said above the values can be echoed (in either helper function or phtml files but the actual calculation does not wont to work
Any help would be great

Ok sorted the problem out. What was happening was that in the helper file the getFunctionA() & getFunctionB() value was being echoed when i should have been just returning the value then echoing the helper function in the .phtml file. Doh! See below the helper function example that is now working Woohoo!!!
public function getFunctionA()
{
$FunctionA = Mage::getModel('module/collection')->getCollection();
$FunctionA->addFieldToFilter('attribute', 'value_to_filter');
$FunctionA->addFieldToFilter('status','1');
return ''.count($FunctionA) . ''; //this line was the problem cause i was echoing & not returning the value
}
Now the value can be echoed in the phtml & the math equation is confirmed working
$dataA = Mage::helper('module/data')->getFunctionA();
$dataB = Mage::helper('module/core')->getFunctionB();
$result = ($dataA / $dataB) * 100;
echo $result;
this code does the math and now i can rest.

Laravel increment a variable inside HTML element

I am trying to implement searching feature in laravel. Everything is working fine. I am passing the html table data in a variable and parsing it later.
The problem is I could not figure out how to increment a value inside the HTML element.
I am trying this
foreach ($studentDetails as $indexkey=>$studentDetail){
$output .= "<tr><td>". $indexkey + 1 ."</td></tr>";
}
This is not going to work as string concatenation is being done in the value. Any idea on how to increment the value by 1.
You can do something like this below: Take a variable for increment before the output variable and use that in output variable:-
foreach ($studentDetails as $indexkey=>$studentDetail){
$temp = $indexkey + 1;
$output .= "<tr><td>". $temp ."</td></tr>";
}

Get segment from url CodeIgniter but not first

I know i can get all segments from url like this
Lets say i have this example link
www.example.com/de/products.html
Using url_helper like this:
$data['url'] = $this->uri->uri_string();
I will get value like this
de/products
But i dont need first segment de, only products, the problem is that
i dont know how many segments it will be, i only need to remove the first
Is there possible to forget first segment with url helper in CI?
Try like this...
Use the php's explode() function to make the url string as array.Then apply array's array_shift() function which always removes the first element from array.
Code is looks like as below
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
//print_r($arr);
Then use the php's implode() method to get the URI without first segment.Hope it will works...
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
echo $uri;
There is no URL helper in the CI to forget the first segment. However you can easily make a custom one and put #Hikmat's answer below it in the application/helpers/MY_url_helper.php in the Core folder.
e.g.
function my_forget_first_segment() {
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
return $uri;
}
Before Edit answer.
You need to try this
$second_segment = $this->uri->segment(2);
From Codeigniter documentation -
$this->uri->segment(n);
Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where n is the segment number you wish to retrieve. Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:
http://example.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up
The segment numbers would be this:
1. news
2. local
3. metro
4. crime_is_up
The optional second parameter defaults to NULL and allows you to set the return value of this method when the requested URI segment is missing. For example, this would tell the method to return the number zero in the event of failure:
$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
example:
<?php
$data=$this->uri->segment(2);
$val=explode('.', $data);
echo $val[0];
?>

Magento programmatically creating attribute options - escaping

I'm using a script to programmatically create attribute options - the code is as follows:
echo "Creating option ....\n";
$attr_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute');
$attr = $attr_model->loadByCode('catalog_product', $key);
$attr_id = $attr->getAttributeId();
if (!$attr_id){
echo "Cannot find Attribute $code\n";
return 0;
}else{
$option['attribute_id'] = $attr_id;
$option['value'][$value][0] = $value;
$option['value'][$value][1] = $value;
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$setup->addAttributeOption($option);
}
And for most values it's working absolutely fine.
However certain values are not being created - it's not throwing any errors, but it doesn't create the options.
One example is 55 mg/kg, which makes me suspect that it's an escaping issue.
Are there any particular escaping rules that I need to follow for this?
Having dug into this further, I've found out that if the array key you use in the $option['value'] array starts with a number, Magento treats this differently as part of the addAttributeOption() call (casting it as an (int), and then assuming you are editing an existing attribute option)
Ensuring the array key doesn't start with a number (I did this by pre-pending 'opt' onto the key) solves the issue.

Format Output of Placeholder

I am creating a dynamic list of placeholders, some of the values held in these place holders are decimal numbers that are supposed to represent money.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way I can format them to display as such?
Something like [[+MoneyField:formatmoney]]
I see http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/making-sites-with-modx/customizing-content/input-and-output-filters-(output-modifiers) but I do not see a way to do this here.
You most definitely can, under the header "Creating a Custom Output Modifier" on the link you posted it's described how you can place a snippet name as a output modifier. This snippet will recieve the [[+MoneyField]] value in a variable called $input.
So you'd have to create this custom snippet which could be as simple as
return '$'.number_format($input);
Another version of doing this is calling the snippet directly instead of as an output modifier like so:
[[your_custom_money_format_snippet ? input=`[[+MoneyField]]`]]
I'm not sure if theres any difference between the two in this case. Obviously you can pass any value into the number format snippet when calling it as a snippet instead of an output modifier. And i'm sure theres a microsecond of performance difference in the two but i'm afraid i don't know which one would win. ;)
Update:
Actually found the exact example you want to implement on this link;
http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/making-sites-with-modx/customizing-content/input-and-output-filters-%28output-modifiers%29/custom-output-filter-examples
Snippet:
<?php
$number = floatval($input);
$optionsXpld = #explode('&', $options);
$optionsArray = array();
foreach ($optionsXpld as $xpld) {
$params = #explode('=', $xpld);
array_walk($params, create_function('&$v', '$v = trim($v);'));
if (isset($params[1])) {
$optionsArray[$params[0]] = $params[1];
} else {
$optionsArray[$params[0]] = '';
}
}
$decimals = isset($optionsArray['decimals']) ? $optionsArray['decimals'] : null;
$dec_point = isset($optionsArray['dec_point']) ? $optionsArray['dec_point'] : null;
$thousands_sep = isset($optionsArray['thousands_sep']) ? $optionsArray['thousands_sep'] : null;
$output = number_format($number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep);
return $output;
Used as output modifier:
[[+price:numberformat=`&decimals=2&dec_point=,&thousands_sep=.`]]

My FormIt hook gets cached and it's screwing up every run after the 1st

I have the following snippet code hooked up to a FormIt email form:
$tv = "taken" . (int)$hook->getValue('datetime');
$docID = $modx->resource->get('id'); //get the page id
$page = $modx->getObject('modResource', $docID);
$current = (int)$page->getTVValue($tv);
if (!$page->setTVValue($tv, $current + 1)) {
$modx->log(xPDO::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'There was a problem saving your TV...');
}
$modx->setPlaceholder('successMessage','<h2 class="success">'.$current.'</h2>');
return true;`
It increments a template variable every time it is run and outputs a success message (although right now I'm using that functionality to output a debug message instead). The problem is, it only increments the TV once after saving the snippet, thereby refreshing the cache. Normally I would call the snippet without cache by appending ! to its name, but that doesn't appear to work for FormIt hooks. How can I get this code to work? Right now I'm running the entire page as uncacheable, but that is obviously suboptimal. Perhaps, there's a way to hook a snippet in an uncached manner? Call a snippet from within a snippet as uncached?
I'm doing something similar - but to count page loads, it looks to me like you are missing the last little bit: $current->save();
<?php
$docID = $modx->resource->get('id');
$tvIdm = 32;
$tvm = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar',$tvIdm );
$tvm->setValue($docID, $tvm->getValue($docID) + 1 );
$tvm->save();
Try add this before you save $tv object
$tv->_processed = false;
It's derived from modElement's property it extends.
