The first part of the form takes the details from the user and inserts a new row in the first table 'mix', auto incrementing to generate a mix_id primary key. The second part then uses a series of check boxes to select which genres the mix contains and a foreach for the resulting array to insert, into the 2nd table 'genres_for_mix', a new row for each genre id (foreign key for the genres table) that is selected and the mix_id that it concerns. Now I'm starting to think this is a bad way to do this because: 1. I don't know how to echo this out when a user edit's the mix to make all the relevant checkboxes selected. 2. When a user deselects a choice, it would be quite long winded to delete the nessesary row. So instead I'm thinking that it would be much wiser to user the serialise functions to put the array into the database However, I still don't know how to make the right checkboxes selected when I echo out the edit form. Do I use something like inarray()? If so how? Also, it's really important that I can query the database for mixes that are associated with a specific genre. Without unserialising the array and therefore echo'ing out all the results, I don't know how to query this. Would I just use a 'WHERE genre_field LIKE 'genre_id'? Can anyone help me with this please? Hello everyone, I'm new to php/mysql and am trying to setup a basic online address book script that has come straight from a tutorial book. I've created the tables etc and have the correct login details. I thought that was it but somehow I keep getting 'no database selected' in the top-left of the browser. Below is the file for opening the connection, is this a job for mysql_select_db and if so where would it need to go? i've been playing around but just cant get rid of that damn message, any help is massively appreciated : (login details hidden for security) <?php function doDB() { global $mysqli; //server and database connection $mysqli = mysqli_connect("serveraddress", "user", "pass"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } } ?> Thanks for having a look! Hi, I am new to php and need help. I am building a library system for an assignment. I want to provide a functionality that registers (adds) all transactions to defferent databases. I am stuck on how to add a selected row (selected by a checkbox) to the database and make sure that 2 users cannot update the same record at the same time.

I also have a table of records, for each row i have an href edit which throws the values to its respective texbox and combobox. THE PROBLEM is that when i click the href edit, the value from a selected row was not displayed from the combobox I have a webpage where all the database items are displyes in a table format.The table also has a check box.Upon clicking the delete button i need to delete all the items whish has the checkbox checked. How will i do that okay this sounds strange I know but but apart from html code in pure php the database values display correctly but when I combine with HTML code i get an offset error when retrieving certain values example results from database file no HTML coding: February10 2012 5pm MY EVENT NEW YORK ERROR when combined with HTML: February MYEVENT 2012 NewYork A friend of mine must of changed something on the site while I was asleep last night and now all the site says when you go to it is: Error Database query error Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 SMTP authentication is required. in C:\xampp\htdocs\inc\utils.inc.php on line 449 I'm not exactly sure what he did since I can't contact him.

Thanks, Gary Hey guys, I am using this script to connect to mysql database. Here it is the code: <?php define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); define('DB_USER', 'myusername'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase'); session_start(); $errmsg_arr = array(); $errflag = false; $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } function clean($str) { $str = @trim($str); if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $str = stripslashes($str); } return mysql_real_escape_string($str); } $login = clean($_GET['login']); $password = clean($_GET['password']); if($login == '') { $errmsg_arr[] = 'Login ID missing'; $errflag = true; } if($password == '') { $errmsg_arr[] = 'PS ID missing'; $errflag = true; } if($errflag) { $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr; session_write_close(); echo "ERROR"; exit(); } $qry="SELECT level FROM users WHERE login='$login' AND passwd='$password'"; if($result) { $result=mysql_query($qry); echo $result; exit(); }else { die("Query failed"); } ?> However, I have received an error which I catch from this line: echo "ERROR"; I have input the correct username, password and the name of the database. Do you have any idea why I have received an error, guess if I have missing something? Hey guys.. I've been setting up a database for a contact page and I have everything working for it except the following error on my update contact page.. can anyone help me figure it out??

Thank you very much, i appreciate this forum and its members always. |
