PHP - Database Tables And Fields To Csv Help

I have a relational table call sales with prodcut_id and custmer_id tables. I also have a product and customer tables. products table with product_id as an auto increment and customer with custumer_id I want to join through the sales tables all t he fields of row 1 from tables customer and products and pull it at once.


This is a member login script and I want to display the products by members.

So far I have this query to display the products once the member is login in. $userid is the id of the customer coming from the $userid= $_SESSION['customer_id'];


$mysqlSales="SELECT products.* FROM products JOIN sales ON (products.product_id = procuct_id ) WHERE sales.customer_id = '$userid'";


so far that statement is not working where should I have some type of incoherance with the english statement above expressing what I want the query to do.

Im doing a search system and Im having some problems. I need to search in two tables (news and pages), I already had sucess doing my search system for just one table, but for two tables its not easy to do. I already use a select statment with two tables using UNION because I want to show number of search results, that is number of returned rows of my first sql statment. But now I need to do a select statment that allows me to acess all fields of my news table and all fields of my pages table. I need to acess in my news table this fields: id, title, content, link, date, nViews I need to acess in my pages table this fields: id, title, content, link Im trying to do this also with UNION, but in this case Im not having any row returning. Do you see what I have wrong in my code?   <?php
//first I get my $search keyword
$search = $url[1];

$pdo = connecting();
//then I want to show number of returned rows for keyword searched
$readALL = $pdo->prepare("SELECT title,content FROM news WHERE title LIKE ? OR content LIKE ?
UNION SELECT title,content FROM pages WHERE title LIKE ? OR content like ?");
$readALL->bindValue(1,"%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL->bindValue(2,"%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL->bindValue(3,"%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL->bindValue(4,"%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL->execute();
//I show number of returned rows
echo '<p>Your search keyword returned <strong>'.$readALL->rowCount().'</strong> results!</p>';
//If dont return any rows I show a error message
if($readALL->rowCount() <=0){
echo 'Sorry but we didnt found any result for your keyword search.';
}
else{
//If return rows I want to show, if it is a page result I want to show title and link that I have in my page table
//if it is a news result I want to show title and link that I have in my news table and also date of news
echo '<ul class="searchlist">';
$readALL2 = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM news WHERE status = ? AND title LIKE ? OR content LIKE ? LIMIT 0,4
UNION SELECT * FROM pages where title LIKE ? OR content LIKE ? LIMIT 0,4");
$readALL2->bindValue(1, '1');
$readALL2->bindValue(2, "%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL2->bindValue(3, "%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL2->bindValue(4, "%$search%", PDO::PARAM_STR);
$readALL2->execute();

while ($result = $readALL2->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
echo '<li>';
echo '<img src="'.BASE.'/uploads/news/'.$result['thumb'].'"/>';
echo '<a href="'.BASE.'/news/'.$result['id_news'].'">'.$result['title'].'</a>';
//if it is a news result I also want to show date on my list
//echo '<span id="date">'.$result['date'].'</span>';
echo '</li>';
}
echo ' </ul>';
//but how can I do my select statement to have access to my news table fields and my page table fields??
}
?>

i have two tables Loan Application table and Loans table. There is status option and date loan was applied section. After status has been chosen as Pending from the dropdown field and date chosen and loan application saved, it goes under the loans section.

Now, admin has to go and approve the loan and pick the date the loan was approved under the loans section but date can be chosen for the approved date but the status cant be changed to approve because it shows pending. Please what can i do so when i select the date for approval , the status should change to approved automatically

I am trying to simplify my coding work for my website and wanting to make it operate more professionally (as part of my training to better my programming skills, which I know will take a lot of time to do). One of the things I`d like to improve on it is to create tables and fields in my mysql database, but not have to go into phpmyadmin to do it. I know open source programs like Drupal can do this easily so that when you add modules, the user does not have to access the database to set it up. But looking at the codes, I`m unable to figure out how it works.

How will I be able to program my code to do something like, I`ll have a form where I enter in what I want the new table to be called, what fields to add in and their specifications, where I could do this by just going into my website as the admin?

I am quite new to PHP and MySQL. I am trying to figure out what datatypes to use for different fields in a Database. For ID (Identification) I use INT, for  name I use VARCHAR and for people to write text messages, I use LONGTEXT. For date and time I use DATETIME.   What I am unsure about, however, is what type to use for an email adress and for an IP address? I have been watching videos at Youtube about the Datatype for IP addresses, but they don't seem always to agree. I hope someone can put me in the right direction on those two.   Regards,   Erik
