PHP - Php/mysql Determining If Data Is Unique.
I am trying to write a script that runs through a CSV file and inserts unique values in a mysql database and spits the duplicate out into a new CSV.
I can find the duplicates when I load it into an array, but when I insert them into a MySQL database, I cannot determine if they are duplicates. If I use INSERT IGNORE, it will run the whole file, and reject the duplicates. This is fine, except I need to create a file of the duplicate entries. What is the best way to determine if the insert attempt was rejected? I could do a select to see if the row is there, spit it out...insert if not, but I was thinking there should be a way for MySQL to talk back to me to cut the queries in half... Any ideas? Thanks Similar TutorialsI have a mysql table which will store users email addresses (each is unique and is the primary field) and a timestamp. I have added another column called `'unique_code' (varchar(64), utf8_unicode_ci)`. What I would very much appreciate assistance with is; a) Generating a 5 digit alphanumeric code, ie: 5ABH6 b) Check all rows the 'unique_code' column to ensure it is unique, otherwise re-generate and check again c) Insert the uniquely generated 5 digit alphanumeric code into `'unique_code'` column, corresponding to the email address just entered. d) display the code on screen. What code must I put and where? **My current php is as follows:** Code: [Select] require "includes/connect.php"; $msg = ''; if($_POST['email']){ // Requested with AJAX: $ajax = ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest'); try{ if(!filter_input(INPUT_POST,'email',FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ throw new Exception('Invalid Email!'); } $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO coming_soon_emails SET email='".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['email'])."'"); if($mysqli->affected_rows != 1){ throw new Exception('You are already on the notification list.'); } if($ajax){ die('{"status":1}'); } $msg = "Thank you!"; } catch (Exception $e){ if($ajax){ die(json_encode(array('error'=>$e->getMessage()))); } $msg = $e->getMessage(); } } I'm pulling data from an xml file and I'm getting a lot of duplicates. How can I remove the duplicates from the query? Code: [Select] foreach($xml->category->subcategory as $category){ echo $category[id]; }//end foreach I have data similar to below. I am doing a MySQL query and doing a JOIN based on instructor name. I am echoing classes and linking the instructor name to another page with their BIO. All is working great, however I want to use the ID's for something else. How do I differentiate the ID between the Instructors table and the Classes Table without changing the column name in the database?
For instance, I want to echo the Instructor ID and then echo the Classes ID, but they are both the same column name in the database and since they are joined, how will that work?
Instructors:
ID | Instructor | Title | Bio |
1 | Bob Smith | Chef | bob smith is a chef with... |
2 | Jane Doe | Professor | Jane doe is an instructor that... |
Classes:
ID | Instructor | Class Title | Class Description |
4 | Bob Smith | Baking | this is a baking class where you learn.... |
5 | Jane Doe | Food Safety | Food safety is very important... |
I have a mysql unique index on two columns: UNIQUE KEY `page_id` (`page_id`,`tag_id`) I have a mysql query like this: Code: [Select] mysql_query("insert into link_tags (page_id, tag_id) values ($page_id, $tag_id)"); If I run that, what would be the best way for php not to fail if the key already exists? within a while loop, would this be best? Code: [Select] if(mysql_query("insert into link_tags (page_id, tag_id) values ($page_id, $tag_id)")) continue; Or would the code above (first code) be sufficient enough? Hello guys, How do I total unique id's with php or MySQL. For instance in MySQL I have... ID 1 1 3 4 2 1 1 3 How can I total all of the 1's, all of the twos, all of the threes and so forth. I have four 1's, one 2, two 3's and so forth... Hi, First off: I got a table with two columns and 100.000 rows. Some of the rows are duplicates (allowing me to "weight" the chance of some rows being hit the first time the script runs) Allright. This i what I want to do: When the user clicks a button: 1. Generate a random selected row from the table (this I allready accomplished using this code: Code: [Select] <?php //CODE FROM WWW.GREGGDEV.COM function random_row($table, $column) { $max_sql = "SELECT max(" . $column . ") AS max_id FROM " . $table; $max_row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($max_sql)); $random_number = mt_rand(1, $max_row['max_id']); $random_sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table . " WHERE " . $column . " >= " . $random_number . " ORDER BY " . $column . " ASC LIMIT 1"; $random_row = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($random_sql)); if (!is_array($random_row)) { $random_sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table . " WHERE " . $column . " < " . $random_number . " ORDER BY " . $column . " DESC LIMIT 1"; $random_row = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($random_sql)); } return $random_row; } //USAGE $randomdata = random_row('MYTABLE', 'MYCOLUMN'); echo $randomdata[2]; // Where [2] is the data I want to extract. ?> This script works fine. The problem is that I want to exclude the results that have allready been shown. With me? Therefore, since I have duplicate rows of certain data, I need to exclude all the rows that are the same. I have a couple of solutions, but I can't seem to fit it into this script. (I will not use the ORDER_BY_RAND() query; it'll be too slow for a table with 100.000 rows) SO: Here's ideas I've come up with that might work, but because of my limited experience with PHP and MySQL, haven't been able to accomplish. 1) Insert a "temporary" column in the table which is filled with 1 and 0's where 1 indicates that the row has allready been taken? (If possible) 2) Use PHP sessions to store the previously generated rows? 3) Create a temporary table, which fills up with the allready generated rows by the random script? 4) Create a unique txt-file (e.g: _USERSIPADRESS__.txt) which can be used to save and extract data from the random script? (fopen, fwrite and so fourth) I hope you understand what I'm trying to do Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you. I've started a to-do app, and everything works fine. Every user has his own unique to-do items that he can add. The only issue is that when I log-in with a user, ALL the items of all users are displayed when I'm redirect to my main page. I want to make it as so every user has his own page where only the to-do items he has created are visible, not every item from every user. I'm a total beginner with PHP so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. This is my todomain.php code
<?php
require 'db_conn.php';
require 'config.php';
session_start();
// If the session variable is empty, this
// means the user is yet to login
// User will be sent to 'login.php' page
// to allow the user to login
if (!isset($_SESSION['id'])) {
$_SESSION['msg'] = "You have to log in first";
header('location: login.php');
}
// Logout button will destroy the session, and
// will unset the session variables
// User will be headed to 'login.php'
// after loggin out
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
session_destroy();
unset($_SESSION['id']);
header("location: login.php");
}
?>

I spent several hours trying to figure this thing out. Thought I had it nailed, but still getting duplicate record entries into the MySQL DB when I do NOT want them.
Here's the plot:
People filling out the possible attendance form for a Ham Radio event *sometimes* bring a 2nd person (either a spouse or a friend). The 2nd person may, or may not, also has a Callsign which I need to put INSERT the same MySQL Callsign column. In any event, to also identify the 2nd person as coming 'with' the 1st person.
MOST of the attendees are individuals with NO 2nd person.
My entry form has these primary fields:
callsign
fullname
AND...
callsign2
fullname2
What I came up with was to process the MySQL INSERT for the primary callsign & fullname into their respective MySQL DB Columns (which works fine), and then........... immediately following the main Query INSERT, to do a substitution type thing depending on whether or not a form entry was made in the callsign2 field, AND/OR, the fullname2 field.
This partially works, but if there is ONLY a primary callsign and fullname in the form, I'm still getting a duplicate record entry which includes the callsign in the `with` column (which should ONLY take place IF there is a 2nd person indicated).
Confusing?
Here is what I have been wrestling with to try and accomplish the objective, and now my eyes are glazed over ;-(
// TRICKY PART HERE
// If a 2nd Callsign AND a Fullname
if ($callsign2 != ' ' && $fullname2 != ' ') {
// Still make reference to the primary Callsign in the MySQL DB `with` column
$with = $callsign;
// Assignment to allow 2nd Callsign to be entered in the MySQL `callsign` column
$callsign=$callsign2;
$fullname=$fullname2;
$sql="INSERT INTO `mytable` (`callsign`, `fullname`, `with`)
VALUES ('$callsign', '$fullname', '$with')";
// If NO 2nd Callsign BUT a Fullname
} elseif ($callsign2 = ' ' && $fullname2 != ' ') {
// Make reference to the primary Callsign in the MySQL DB `with` column
$with = $callsign;
$callsign=$callsign2;
$fullname=$fullname2;
$sql="INSERT INTO `mytable` (`callsign`, `fullname`, `with`)
VALUES ('$callsign', '$fullname', '$with')";
} else {
// The only thing I could thing of to (hopefully) NOT make a 2nd entry
// record in the MySQL DB IF there is NO 2nd person referenced
$with = $callsign;
}
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
}
This mostly works EXCEPT if only a single (primary) person entry.
The recap the objetives:
1. If ONLY a primary/single person entry on the form:
* callsign & fullname get INSERTed into the `callsign` and `fullname` columns in the DB as ONLY one record entry
2. If BOTH a primary and 2nd person on the form:
A. IF the 2nd person has a Callsign, then the 2nd record entry would be:
* callsign2 & fullname2 get INSERTed into the `callsign` & `fullname` columns in the 2nd DB as a separate record entry
* callsign of the primary person also gets INSERTED into the `with` column in the same 2nd DB record entry
B. IF the 2nd person does NOT have a callsign, then the 2nd record entry would be:
* fullname2 gets INSERTed into the `fullname` column in the DB as a separate 2nd DB record entry
* callsign of the primary person also gets INSERTED into the `with` column in the same 2nd DB record entry
I obvioiusly have overlooked something, but just can't seem to figure it out at this point {SIGH}.
Thanks for any enlightenment.

I have a form that passes multiple images and I wanted them to have a substring of a md5 encrypted time for generating unique codes so I don't delete or overwrite an older file. I keep the actual images in a folder and the path in mysql. The folder is working perfectly and there are no problems generating unique codes but I have been trying all night and I can't figure out why mysql won't update. I can actually get it to update but then I loose the functionallity of the code and if I don't upload a 4 images and leave one blank, the blank one deletes the previously uploaded field in the table row. Here is the md5 encrypted time for generating unique codes: Code: [Select] $unique = strtolower(substr(md5(time()), 0, 4)); This is how it works with the folder: Code: [Select] $filePath = $uploadDir . $unique . $fileName; This is how I get it to update mysql but then loose functionality: Code: [Select] $values[$i] = $unique . mysql_real_escape_string(basename(trim($_FILES[$fields[$i]]['name']))); Here is the entire code: Code: [Select] <?php require_once('storescripts/connect.php'); mysql_select_db($database_phpimage,$phpimage); $unique = strtolower(substr(md5(time()), 0, 4)); $uploadDir = 'upload/'; if(isset($_POST['upload' . $config])) { foreach ($_FILES as $file) { $fileName = $file['name']; $tmpName = $file['tmp_name']; $fileSize = $file['size']; $fileType = $file['type']; if($fileName==""){ $filePath = 'upload/'; } else{ $filePath = $uploadDir . $unique . $fileName; } $filePath = str_replace(" ", "_", $filePath); $result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath); if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $fileName = addslashes($fileName); $filePath = addslashes($filePath); } $fileinsert[]=$filePath; } } $mid = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['mid'])); $cat = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['cat'])); $item = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['item'])); $price = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['price'])); $about = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['about'])); $fields = array(); $values = array(); $updateVals = array(); for($i=1; $i<=4; $i++) { $fields[$i] = 'name'.$i; $values[$i] = mysql_real_escape_string(basename(trim($_FILES[$fields[$i]]['name']))); if($values[$i] != '') { $updateVals[] = "{$fields[$i]} = '{$values[$i]}'"; } } $updateNames = ''; if(count($updateVals)) { $updateNames = ", " . implode(', ', $updateVals); } $update = "INSERT INTO image (mid, cid, item, price, about, name1, name2, name3, name4) VALUES ('$mid', '$cat', '$item', '$price', '$about', '$values[1]', '$values[2]', '$values[3]', '$values[4]') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE cid = '$cat', item = '$item', price = '$price', about = '$about' $updateNames"; $result = mysql_query($update) or die (mysql_error()); $id = mysql_insert_id(); ?> <p style="font-size:35px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#255E67; margin-left:25px;">Your Item Has Been Uploaded!</p> <script type="text/javascript"> setTimeout('ourRedirect()', 2000) function ourRedirect() { location.href='protator_php.php?mid=<?php echo $id ?>' } </script> Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$row["id"].'</td>
';
while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo '
<td>'.$row1["email"].'</td>
';
}
if($row["validity"] == 1) {
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>';
}else{
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>';
}
echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td>
</tr>';
}
?>
Thank you. This could be PHP or MySql so putting it in PHP forum for now... I have code below (last code listed) which processes a dynamically created Form which could have anywhere from 0 to 6 fields. So I clean all fields whether they were posted or not and then I update the mySQL table. The problem with this code below is that if, say, $cextra was not posted (i.e. it wasnt on the dynamically created form), then this code would enter a blank into the table for $cextra (i.e. if there was already a value in the table for $cextra, it gets overwritten, which is bad). What is the best way to handle this? I'm thinking i have to break my SQL query into a bunch of if/else statements like this... Code: [Select] $sql = "UPDATE cluesanswers SET "; if (isset($_POST['ctext'])){ echo "ctext='$ctext',"; } else { //do nothing } and so on 5 more times.... That seems horribly hackish/inefficient. Is there a better way? Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['hidden']) && $_POST['hidden'] == "edit") { $cimage=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['cimage'])); $ctext=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['ctext'])); $cextra=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['cextra'])); $atext=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['atext'])); $aextra=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['aextra'])); $aimage=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['aimage'])); //update the answer edits $sql = "UPDATE cluesanswers SET ctext='$ctext', cextra='$cextra', cimage='$cimage', atext='$atext', aextra='$aextra', aimage='$aimage'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $connection); if (!$result) { die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error()); } else { } hi guys, im new to this forum I'm new also to php, I need help from you guys: I want to display personal information from a certain person (the data is on the mysql database) using his name as a link: example: (index.php) names 1. Bill Gates 2. Mr. nice Guy i want to click Bill Gates (output.php) Name: Bill Gates Country:xxxx Age: xx etc. How can i make this or how to learn this? Hi I am trying to select and order data/numbers from a colum in a mysql data base however i run the code and it returns no value just a blank page no errors or any thing so i think the code is working right but then it returns no result? Please help thanks Here is the code: <?php $host= "XXXXXX"; $mysql_user = "XXXXXX"; $mysql_password = "XXXXXX"; $mysql_database = "XXXXXXX"; $connection = mysql_connect("$host","$mysql_user","$mysql_password") or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server."); mysql_select_db($mysql_database) or die ("Unable to select requested database."); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( mysql_query( "SELECT XP FROM Game ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1" ) ); $number = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT XP FROM Game ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1"), 0); echo "The the highest XP is $number"; ?> Hello, I need some help. Say that I have a list in my MySQL database that contains elements "A", "S", "C", "D" etc... Now, I want to generate an html table where these elements should be distributed in a random and unique way while leaving some entries of the table empty, see the picture below. But, I have no clue how to do this... Any hints? Thanks in advance, Vero Here is the scenario: Members of my group turn in/donate uniform items they don't need to me...stuff that can be passed on to other members that need it. I post these items onto our website. A member, who needs an item, visits the site, and picks the items that they need. After selecting everything they need, they provide only their name and maybe some comments, and submit the request. An e-mail is generated and sent to me, listing out all the items the member has requested. I gather the items, and bring them to the member at the next meeting. My original plans were to use a shopping cart type script; however, I have since found out that I am not allowed a MySQL database on the server I am using! I've seen some shopping carts out there that use php & excel, not requiring a database, but they are all trial, and have limitations of only like 10 items. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to handle this scenario? I was thinking an html form of some type with check boxes next to each item; then, upon pressing submit, a php script sends me an e-mail listing the boxes they have checked. Only problem with that is, having to update the php script each time I add/delete an item and it's checkbox (would have to add/delete that checkbox's name to the script each time...correct?). Thanks for any suggestions, - Jason Could someone please advise the best way to determine the average of a DATE field in a SELECT query?
Hi Guys Quick question. I am just starting an application that enables users to upload files - specifically image files. As one of the validation/security steps I want to run a check on file type and file size. As far as i can see you do this one of two ways: 1) using the $_FILES array - i.e. $_FILES[name][type] and $_FILES[name][size] or 2) using the getimagesize() function. What i want to know is whether one of these methods is preferable for security or do they both suffer the same inherent flaws - because lots of post online seem to suggest filetype can be faked. advice would be appreciated Hey, I have a search feature that searches for words in my database. I am currently storing all searches that users make in a table called `search`. I need to list the top 10 words that are searched for the most, excluding common words like "the, and, or, etc". Because the searches users make are stored into a table, it should be fairly easy. Could anyone give an example of how to do this? Here's how my sql table looks: table name: search columns: id (autoincrement) phrase date resultsfound ip With this code I can determine the fieldname and the value. They are $col_key and $col_value respectively: Code: [Select] $sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl "; $result = mysql_query($sql) while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { if ($row == 1) { foreach ($line as $col_key => $col_value) { But how do I determine the field TYPE (i.e. varchar, text, date etc)? |
