PHP - Read Variables From Mysql Table
I am working on a simple web app in which I want to store about 20 variables in a MYSQL table so when I hand off the project the variables can be easily edited by the end user. Is it easy to store variables in a MYSQL table then query those and make them PHP variables? Really I just need to read a MYSQL table and pull two columns; AppOption and AppOptionValue then create PHP variables for each of the results making the AppOption the variable name and the AppOptionValue the value of said varible.
Any Ideas? Thanks! Sean Similar TutorialsMOD: Thanks for moving to the correct forum - much appreciated! OK, I've taken a look around and cannot find a complete tutorial on how to do this. I have created a database with a table and the following fields; id, day, month, year, event, type What I am trying to do is read the data held in the table by referencing the type field (unique data), have it populate data firleds which are user editable and then once all changes are made have it update into the table. I can't imagine that this is that hard at all, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out! Anybody got a tutorial or some code which will do this? I am finally making the upgrade from PHP 5.3 to PHP 7.3. When converting over the code I noticed that session some sessions are not being processed. My test code for this is below:
session_start(); include ("../includes/connect.inc"); echo "hiiiiiiii: ".$currentDate; echo "He ".$_SESSION['user']; if (isset($_SESSION['user'])) { $user = $_SESSION['user']; $currentDate = date("Y/m/d"); } else { echo "Session not started: "; }
My include is listed below: $link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error("Connection error message")); } mysqli_select_db($link, 'dbname') or die (mysqli_error($link)); date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); define ("TZ_CORRECTION", 43200); $bkcolor = "#FFFFFF"; $currentDate = (Date("Y-m-d")); I am not getting the message "Session not started or the current date from the include". If it matters I am using WAMP as my testing server Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi On my xampp server's database I get the warning that my database is read-only when I try to insert something into a table. I think I may know what cause this, because I created an export/import app that exports/import important data to the database... How can I remove the read-only from the database, because I am scared that the same thing might happen to my server's database? And is there a mysql query that test if the database is read-only? Thanks in advance I have been uploading a file via a php script and DBing the file name into a table. All of a sudden, the user starts to get this when trying to write the file name to the table. Table 'files' is read only apparently it works sometimes and then other times, the user gets the message above. anyone have this issue before.

This is what I want mainly >>>>>>>>>> Total Stock Value (cost price * count foreach and then sum of all results ) and sum of all count cost price table and column is different than one used above in the code which is: databse table is ' receivings_items ' Column is 'item_cost_price' example php code to fetch is : Code: [Select] $sql = "SELECT `item_cost_price` FROM `receivings_items`"; config.php contains all the connection variables to MySQL Please Help me I am having trouble trying to save my image file names to mysql after reading a dir.

How can I write each record to a Txt file that he can print out later that will be formated with the record contents along with each fields definition (Ex. Last Name - Smith, First Name - John, etc)?

So please reply Ok so I have this script which will take a propery formated .csv file and upload to my database. here's the part i need to know if it's possible. basically it puts a group of codes into the database but i need a field that will specify which user the code pertains to from another table. The most logical way to reference the user is with an id code; but short of having the user reference an id code to put in the csv file, is there anyway I can make a query that will INSERT INTO and upload the csv? here's my current code... <?php $tmpName = $_FILES['song_codes']['tmp_name']; include('database.php'); if($sc != ""){ mysql_query('LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \''.$tmpName.'\' INTO TABLE music_codes FIELDS ENCLOSED BY "\"" TERMINATED BY "," LINES TERMINATED BY "\n" ;') or die('Error loading data file.<br>' . mysql_error()); Trying to get this done: Page_1 has many external links, when certain links are clicked i do not want user to go directly to page, but rather go to a special add page_2 where user must click a second time on the link to finally get there. The add page_2 must show on screen the name of the initial link from page_1, it must change accordingly with the link it came from page_1,once on page_2 the hyperlink redirects outside the site. So far i am thinking give an id to the div or "<a href..." on page_1 then somehow have page_2 detect that id and fill in the variable for the final external link. Other wise is there a way to detect a url from incoming? I guess a similar example is how some domain name sellers landing page will indicate the name of the site. Such as "Thisdomain.com" is for sale. same landing page but the name changes according to the domain that was typed. $var = @$_GET['q'] ; $trimmed = trim($var); $table = @$_GET['field']; $query="SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE @'table' contains @'trimmed' order by id"; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); Why wont this work? Zacron Hi there,
I have a table in a MySQL database where I keep a list of user privileges. I am trying to create variables where the name of variable matches the privileges in the table.
This is also known as variable variables (I think).
EDIT (17/07/2014 04:02 PM): This might be a better way to describe what I'd like, so if the value from the table is admin_panel I'd like to dynamically create a variable with that name.
I have created a code so far, but all I seem to be getting is a list of Notice errors telling me that the variable is undefined. (I have supplied a list of errors a bit further down the post).
Here is the code:
<?php $host = "localhost"; $account = "***"; $password = "****"; $dbname = "****"; $connect = mysql_connect($host,$account,$password) or die("Unable To Connect"); $db = mysql_select_db($dbname,$connect) or die("Unable To Select DB"); $perm_query = "SELECT * FROM `privileges`"; $permission_query = mysql_query($perm_query); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($permission_query)) { $rows[] = $row; } foreach($rows as $row) { ${$row['privilege']}; } ?>The list of errors: Notice: Undefined variable: admin_panel in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: create_user in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: edit_user in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: delete_user in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: create_group in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: edit_group in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: delete_group in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: view_log in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: log_settings in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Notice: Undefined variable: password_change in C:\xampp\htdocs\DynamicVariables.php on line 20 Thanks Edited by chrisrulez001, 17 July 2014 - 10:05 AM. Hi Everyone, I'm trying to convert my MySql data into variables so I can use them on my website. For example, if I want to convert a city or even first or last name into a variable. How would I go about doing that? Thanks everyone! |
