PHP - Php/mysql Select Help
I have a table with a field called "tags" and below is an example of how this field might look like.
pensions, employee benefits, group benefits, defined contribution, auto-enrollment I want to perform a query to get this field for all of the rows in my table. However is there a way to stop mysql from returning duplicates. For example if another field read, pensions, employee benefits, group benefits, defined contribution, auto-enrollment, tax Then it would only return "tax" from this field as it's already return pensions, employee benefits etc. Thanks for any help. Similar TutorialsHi guys I have a two tables in my mysql branch: id branchname postcode then a user table id username password branch1 branch2 so far I have a select form as below which populates the select form from mysql branch 1<select name='branch1'><p /> <?php $branchdropdown=mysql_query("SELECT id ,branchname, postcode FROM branch"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($branchdropdown)) { // echo '<option value="' .$row['stationname']. '"></option>' ; echo "<option value=\"".$row['id']."\">".$row['branchname']."\n "; $postcodeone=$row['postcode']; } ?> and then this will be inserted in mysql as below $submit = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (branch1, branch2) VALUES ($postcodeone, $postcodetwo)"); echo "This entry has been added to our database"; </select> but it only inserts the branch id and not the password, can you please tell me what im doing wrong? I have a MySQL database. The table name is prodcat - it has 3 fields sku, category and codes. Some of the categorys have multiple items in it which is seperated by /
for example: Ceramics/Sale Items or just Ceramics
in the codes it looks like this: ceramics,saleitems or just ceramics
Basically i want to loop through each sku in the prodcat table and every sku that is in ceramics I want it to echo an image. And if that sku is in multiple categories it needs to show the image no matter what category you are in. So if it is a ceramic item that is also on sale I want the image to appear in both those categories
I've tried this multiple ways and can get a partial result but can not get it completely the way I want it. Basically I can get it to give me the result in one category but it won't give me the result in both categories.
Thanks for the help.
Basically, is this a good idea to use, or rather select only the fields you need for a certain reason. Say I have the fields: uid,uname,upass,usalt, and udisplayname. If a sneaky little .... somehow injected a query that is used for users that are logged in, wouldn't it be better to only have the relevant fields selected? ( In this case, uname,upass,and usalt should only be touched if adding a user, or having a user log in, because beyond that, why would you need something that's purpose is only for authenticating a user? ), or rather select all fields?. I've been wondering this for a while. So if I used my method ( select only relevant fields ), even if a sneaky little .... did inject sql to try and get a certain user's login information, it would not give them that info because those fields are NOT selected, as opposed to selecting all fields, and having that sneaky little .... get ahold of that users info.. Still even if I used uname and upass, they'd still have to figure out that I'm using a unique salt for each user, and that even if 2 users have the same password, theyd need to do seperate rainbow tables for each password. I need to select all fields from two tables and echo that data. Fields are the same in both tables but has different data. <?PHP include "dbconnect.php"; function pretvoriDatum($mysqlDatum) { $tmp=explode("-", $mysqlDatum); $datum=$tmp[2] . "." . $tmp[1] . "." . $tmp[0]; return $datum; } $sql="SELECT * FROM novosti A, dogadanja B"; if (!$q=mysql_query($sql)) { echo "Error" . mysql_query(); die(); } if (mysql_num_rows($q)==0) { echo "No data</div>"; } else { ?> <?PHP while ($redak=mysql_fetch_array($q)) { ?> <?php echo $redak["a.naslov"]; ?> <?PHP echo $redak["a.slika"]; ?> <?php echo $redak["b.tekst"]; ?> <?php echo $redak["a.objavio"]; ?> <?PHP echo pretvoriDatum($redak["b.datum"])?> <?PHP } } ?> Please help, I don't know how to do that What is this a. b. c. before the fields? I'm not understanding it. I know is about foreign key and reference, but why a. b. c. ?? Code: [Select] <?php $user_id='1'; // User table user_id value $update_sql=mysql_query("SELECT a.username, a.email, b.update_id, b.update, b.time, b.vote_up, b.vote_down FROM users a, updates b, friends c WHERE b.user_id_fk = a.user_id AND c.friend_one = '$user_id' AND b.user_id_fk = c.friend_two ORDER BY b.update_id DESC LIMIT 15"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($update_sql)) { $username=$row['username']; $email=$row['email']; $update_id=$row['update_id']; $update=$row['update']; $time=$row['time']; $up=$row['vote_up']; $down=$row['vote_down']; //Avatar $lowercase = strtolower($email); $image = md5($lowercase); $avatar ='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='.$image; //Update HTML tags filter $htmldata = array ("<", ">"); $htmlreplace = array ("<",">"); $final_update = str_replace($htmldata, $htmlreplace, $update); // Updates Results Display here } ?> I have the following sql which works fine "SELECT AVG(ratings.score), articles.* FROM ratings, articles where ratings.article_number = articles.article_number group by article_number" However I want to add to this statement to make sure that it only returns the results where the field avg(ratings.score) is between 3 and 4. I tried the sql below but it came up with the error "invalid use of group function". SELECT AVG(ratings.score), articles.* FROM ratings, articles where ratings.article_number = articles.article_number and AVG(ratings.score) < 4 group by article_number Thanks for any help Hello, For some reason the following query returns 0 rows: $query = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `businesses_touchlocal_temp` WHERE `postcode` = '".$this_business['postcode']."'

I'm trying to select usernames from my database where rank is equal to one (the highest, in my system). As such, I attempted this code; Code: [Select] // Connection info above this line... mysql_select_db("users"); $query = mysql_query ("SELECT displayname FROM login WHERE rank = 1"); $query_a = mysql_fetch_array($query); var_dump($query_a); The var_dump resulting from that is as follows; Code: [Select] array 0 => string 'Seltzer' (length=7) 'displayname' => string 'Seltzer' (length=7) Everything is working correctly, except for the fact that my database contains two displayname rows where rank is equal to one (EDIT: Two distinct rows). In fact, I can run a search of it in phpMyAdmin and get the two that my PHP code should be returning. phpMyAdmin generated the following query, which Inserted into my code in order to double-check things; Code: [Select] SELECT `displayname` FROM `login` WHERE `rank` =1 LIMIT 0 , 30 Even after I swapped my queries, the PHP code still returned the same var_dump as above. Complicating things further, I've noticed another function I've made, which queries "SELECT rank WHERE displayname = '$displayname'", functions perfectly. I've gotten rid of pretty much any source of the error I could think of; I'm testing the function on an otherwise empty page, I've removed any classes being used, and I've tried about a million different queries. Can someone help me out with this? I'm being held up by it and I'm sure that this is a simple fix. Thanks in advance, Dustin have you ever wondered how to select a single coloumn from mysql using php & checking whether a value or variable exists in the resulting array... well here is the code $busid = '5412'; $results = mysql_query("SELECT `myname` FROM mytable WHERE myuser = 'user'"); while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($results)) { $colnames[] = $rows['myname']; } if(!in_array($busid, $colnames))die("Access denied"); i want to make a monthly report the user selects month from drop down and i must get the specified dates of that month from the DB I am using ajax to get the dates The code is posted he http://codepad.org/Fck5s2zz The attached file (delete_user.php) is the same as the code in the link above. The same code is also posted below. [text] What I am trying to do is create a function that will allow me to delete a user from my mysql database. I have an HTML select that outputs the username(s) using the function get_admin_username() (The function is posted below) There is also a HTML form I am using to make this happen. (Also posted below) In other words I would select the user I would like to delete, and click submit which will then delete the user from the database. The problem I am having is I do not know how to pass values from the HTML select, or the form, or even use the submit button value. I am not sure If I need to create a function to achieve this. Basically I don't know what to do this at all for that matter. I thought I might have gotten close but I thought wrong, and failed. I was told (in the php irc) that my method was way off and wrong but was given no help after that. I do have an example to show you of how I tried to accomplish this, but being told that I was wrong I did not feel that it was even worth posting it. I am lost and have been at this for two days now. I am a noobe but I do understand allot (I think). Someone, anyone, please help.

Hi Guys I don't know if this is possible but can someone point me in the right direction. I have a php function which takes two inputs and returns an output. for simplicity's sake let's say it's an addition function. What I want to do is use a mysql select statement to show all the rows from a database where field1 and field2 equal '3'. Here's the sort of thing I mean. function addNumbers($one,$two) { return $one + $two; } mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE 'addNumbers(field1,field2)' = '3'"); What I actually want to do is a lot more complex than this but I am trying to understand how to make the syntax work in simple terms first. Can anybody help?
