PHP - Trying To Get Data From 2 Different Tables To Display On One Page.
I have been playing around with this. Thought I had it nailed, and then found that It was fubar when I started to add more entries to the database. I basically want to display 2 tables from my database on the page. One is called "players" the other is called "editlog".
The output with my current script came out as this: and here is the dreaded code: <html> <body> <u><h3>Performance Point Monitor (PPM): Knights of Shadow WoW Officers.</h3></u> <?php include('/home/a3269923/public_html/ppm/admin/config.php'); include('/home/a3269923/public_html/ppm/admin/dbopen.php'); $query="SELECT * FROM players"; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); ?> <table border="1" style="position:absolute;width:500;height:10;left:0;top:70"> <tr> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">PLAYER</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">POINTS</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DATE</font></th> </tr> <?php $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $f2=mysql_result($result,$i,"PLAYER_NAME"); $f3=mysql_result($result,$i,"ND_POINTS"); $f4=mysql_result($result,$i,"DATE ADDED"); ?> <tr> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f2; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f3; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f4; ?></font></td> </tr> </table> <?php $i++; } ?> <?php include('/home/a3269923/public_html/ppm/admin/config.php'); include('/home/a3269923/public_html/ppm/admin/dbopen.php'); //USER LOG $query="SELECT * FROM editlog"; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); ?> <table border="1" style="position:absolute;width:600;height:10;left:510;top:70"> <tr> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">USER</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TYPE</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">POINTS</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">NOTES</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DATE</font></th> </tr> <?php $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $f1=mysql_result($result,$i,"USER"); $f2=mysql_result($result,$i,"TYPE"); $f3=mysql_result($result,$i,"POINTS"); $f4=mysql_result($result,$i,"NOTE"); $f5=mysql_result($result,$i,"TIMESTAMP"); ?> <tr> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f1; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f2; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f3; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f4; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f5; ?></font></td> </tr> </table> <?php $i++; } ?> What am I doing wrong?

Hi guys, Should be a simple 1. If i have the following at the top of the page: $page_views = $row['page_views'] + 1; mysql_query("UPDATE table SET page_views='$page_views'"); and then the following at the bottom of the page: echo $row['page_views']; Should I see the page views as 1 the first time the page is visited, 2 the second time the page is visited, and so on......? At the moment im seeing 0 on the first page visit, 1 on the second page visit, 2 on the third..... I had this problem before on another page i was working, and i simply solved it by displaying the mysql query above the echo similar to the code above. However now it does not seem to be working. Am i missing something really simple? lol Thanks This portion is kind of stumping me. Basically, I have a two tables in this DB: users and users_access_level (Separated for DB normalization) users: id / username / password / realname / access_level users_access_level: access_level / access_name What I'm trying to do, is echo the data onto an HTML table that displays users.username in one table data and then uses the users.access_level to find users_access_level.access_name and echo into the following table data, I would prefer not to use multiple queries if possible or nested queries. Example row for users: 1234 / tmac / password / tmac / 99 Example row for users_access_level: 99 / Admin Using the examples above, I would want the output to appear as such: Username: Access Name: Tmac Admin I am not 100% sure where to start with this, but I pick up quickly, I just need a nudge in the right direction. The code I attempted to create just shows my lack of knowledge of joining tables, but I'll post it if you want to see that I did at least make an effort to code this myself. Thanks for reading! I am trying to write some data from multiple SQL tables to a page. In the first table is a list of places. I then have more tables that are named after the different places. For example, say my first place in the list is called Place1. I have a table named Place1 with data that corresponds to place1. The data contained in the table named Place1 is a list of things to do in this place. It has 21 columns and each one is something to do in the morning, afternoon, and at night for each day of the week in the place Place1. What I am trying to do is display a sort of weekly calendar as a table on a webpage that lists all of the places in one column and then lists seven days of the week as 7 more columns. Then in each data cell I would want to list the things to do in the morning, afternoon and at night for the certain day of the week and for the place. The problem is that I am creating a CMS to allow other users with no coding knowledge to update events for other places, so I have to display data that could have been altered. The only solution I know of is to do a while loop that gets all of the place names and while there are still place names, write the place names to the page and set a variable equal to the place name. Inside the while loop I would create another while loop that each time the first while loop is executed uses the variable set in the first while loop to know which table to reference and then make a call to that table pulling out the 21 columns and writing them to the page. Each time the outer while loop executes, it would (hopefully) write the place name, and then set the variable as the current place name so that the inner while loop uses the variable to write the rest of the information about that place. I don't know if that would even work and if it did, I know it cannot be the best way to do this. I am pretty stuck here and don't really have a good solution so if anyone proposes a solution that is radically different to anything I have done, I am open to everything. Thank you! ok I am getting an error over something simple, can anyone help
Also how do i delete previous threads that I dont wont to continue?

These few players in table B are also in table A, but table B has more information on them. I want to take the stats for these players out of table A and put into table B, and I want table B to update along with table A every time those numbers change. How would I do this?

I have some experience with PHP and can easily modify existing code, but seem to have trouble writing the logic from scratch. Situation: I'm using this Jquery slider ( http://mine.tuxfamily.org/?p=74#more-74 ) and would like to populate the slides with data coming from an XML file. The data will be text, images(URIs), and links to buy. The thing is, each slide will hold 4 items, and then I want to somehow using PHP logic, allow the code to generate the next slide... In other words, how would I code it so that after 4 entries, it creates a new slide? I'm imagining a For loop + SimpleXML functions... but just kind of fumbling in the dark here. Any direction or guidance is greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Dey Hey,
I have am creating a web app to hold customer and job details.. I have the following table structures to hold the data:
CREATE TABLE Customers ( customerID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, customer varchar(25) default NULL, contact varchar(25) default NULL, phone varchar(25) default NULL, email varchar(25) default NULL, address varchar(25) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (customerid) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE Jobs ( jobID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, customerID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', invoiceNumber varchar(25) default NULL, purchasOrder varchar(25) default NULL, orderDate datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', dateRequired datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', jobStatus varchar(25) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (jobID) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE vinyl ( vinylID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, jobID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', colour varchar(25) default NULL, font varchar(25) default NULL, size varchar(25) default NULL, fileLocation varchar(25) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (vinylID) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE screenprint ( screenprintID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, jobID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', colour varchar(25) default NULL, font varchar(25) default NULL, size varchar(25) default NULL, fileLocation varchar(25) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (screenprintID) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE items ( itemID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, jobID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', supplier varchar(25) default NULL, code varchar(25) default NULL, colour varchar(25) default NULL, style varchar(25) default NULL, total varchar(25) default NULL, dateOrdered varchar(25) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (itemID) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE itemsqty ( itemqtyID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, itemID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', jobID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', size varchar(25) default NULL, quanity int(5) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (itemqtyID) ) ENGINE = INNODB; CREATE TABLE embroidery ( embroideryID int(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, jobID int(5) NOT NULL default '0', code varchar(25) default NULL, stitchCount varchar(25) default NULL, quanity int(5) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (embroideryID) ) ENGINE = INNODB;Are these tables set out correctly for the collection of data needed. Also.. am I best to use Foreign Keys? My understanding of using foreign keys is not in place for queries as such, more to keep the tables clean of miss matched records etc? Thanks Hi guys, This is my first time posting here - im just getting into PHP - i got a question; I have two databases: profile(id, name, interests, dob, gender, join_date, email) interests(id, profile_id, interests) id being the primary key, and profile_id being the foreign key from profile. I want to script that returns profile information and all the matching interests (one user can have multiple interests). This is what i have so far, though it does not work, and i knew it wouldnt; function get_profile($id) { $connection = mysql_open(); $query = "SELECT * "; $query .= "FROM profiles, interests "; $query .= "WHERE profile.id=" . $id; $query .= " AND interests.profile_id=" . $id; $result = @ mysql_query($query, $connection); // Transform the result set to an array (for Smarty) $entries = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $entries[] = $row; } mysql_close($connection) or show_error();; return $entries; } Can someone please advise on how this can be done? or do i need to have two query's one for each table ? Thank you in advance!! <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("contact", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO contact_info (FirstName, LastName, Phone, Email, ContactMethod, City, State, zip, TimeFrame, Agent, AgentInfo) VALUES ('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[phone]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[contactmethod]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[state]','$_POST[zip]','$_POST[timeframe]','$_POST[agent]','$_POST[agentinfo]')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "1 record added"; mysql_close($con) ?> That's my code everything seem's to be working fine script runs and says 1 record added however when I go to view the entry phpMyAdmin the entry show's up without the data? so I'm trying to change some specific columns in a row in a table of a MySQL database by calling the Doctrine_Query when an option is selected inside an admin panel of my website. Here are the details: Table name: chatUsers I need to find all rows with the person who has a username of: $chatUsers->username (The column inside chatUsers is called username) Once all those rows are found, change the value of all the row's column "type" to "user" Is this even possible? So far I have: [/list] Code: [Select] <?php function userChatReset(){ $query = Doctrine_Query::create()->update('db_chatUsers')->set('type', 'user')->where('username = '.$chatUsers->username); //execute query $rows = $query->execute(); echo $rows.' rows updated'; } ?> ...And I'm not sure where to go from there, or if that's even correct. Sorry in advance, I'm not very good with PHP yet. Hey guys, Not sure how to do this. The basic principle of what I want to do is: ounit1 number (members table) * ounit1 power (ounit table) ounit2 number (members table) * ounit2 power (ounit table) etc to unit12. The members table has the fields: username ounit1 ounit2 ounit3 ounit4 etc for the number of units. The Ounit table has the fields: Ounit (primary auto increase) opower and a few more that are not needed for this. So basically, it it possible to call data from two different tables and multiply it? So far I've got: Code: [Select] <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE Username='$_SESSION[Username]'") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo '<b>Power</b><br />'; echo 'Offence: ' . $row[''] . ' <br />'; echo 'Defence: ' . $row[''] . ' <br />'; echo 'Power: ' . $row[''] . ' <br />'; } ?> I'm not sure how to call two tables at once. Any help would be great! I have two tables 'book' and 'category'. They look like the following in phpmyadmin;
book
id title author category isbn ---- ------- ---------- ---------- ------- 1 Treasure Chest Jim Jones 1 14252637 2 Pirates Boat Sue Smith 2 88447737 3 Adventure Land Harry Jo 3 01918273 4 Winter Week Sam Dill 3 00999337 5 The Twite Roald Dahl Fiction 87873366 category id cat_name ---- ------- 1 Horror 2 Kids 3 Fiction 4 Science Users have the option of adding books into the library via an online form, or via a Google Booka api method (user enters isbn, searches, is presented with book info and then clicks 'add to library', done.). This is handled via ajax. The online form works fine, and successfully adds the book info. However my problem is with the Google Books method, it successfully adds the data to the db however the category column is in text format (i.e 'Juvenile Science' or 'Scary Fiction') as opposed to the manual form which adds categories as 1, 2 or 3 (1 =Horror, 2 = Kids, 3 = Fiction). Is there any way I can add the Google Book category data to my table and convert it to an integer or similar? Not sure what I need to do. Suggestions appreciated! Should I add the Google entries to another table (i.e googleCategory)? My HTML only outputs the numbered category entries and ignored the text format entries. my php $sql = "SELECT b.id, b.title, b.author, b.isbn, b.publicationYear, c.cat_name FROM book AS b INNER JOIN category AS c ON b.category = c.id WHERE status != 'Archive' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $startrow, 15 "; $res = $conn->query($sql) or trigger_error($conn->error."[$sql]"); while($row = $res->fetch_array()) { echo '<tbody>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td>' . $row['id'] . '</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['title'] . '</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['author'] . '</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['cat_name'] . '</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['isbn'] . '</td>'; echo '<td>' . $row['publicationYear'] . '</td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '</tbody>'; };Apologies if this is all a bit confusing I am very new to php and mysql. Thanks, J OK, I've scoured the forms on here, searched and tutorial read and even pulled out an old PHP book. Alas, I'm stumped. First off, my two tables that I'm trying to pull data from: rubric ------------------------------------- ---- code ---- | ---- title -------- ------------------------------------- ABCD | Category Name schedule ---------------------------------------------------- ------ name ------ | ------ short_title ------ ---------------------------------------------------- ABCD-123-4569 | Title Is Here Now, none of these share the same value, per say. rubric.code shares the first THREE letters from schedule.name, but that is all. What I'm trying to do is something similar to the old: A apple automobile B banana basket bench C car child crumb ... etc, etc, where the letter heading is actually the rubric.title value and then underneath it it lists all the matching short_title from schedule where the first four letters of schedule.name match the value of rubric.code - if that even makes sense. Unfortunately these are the tables I have to work with. If anyone out there has any ideas, I would be thrilled to hear them. Another thing that is driving me crazy is that this server I'm working on doesn't have error reporting turned on so I've been stuck with just a white screen to let me know something is amiss. I'm running PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze8 if that helps. Thank you! Ok I have a fairly straight forward question. I am designing a baseball website and I am trying to add in a schedule, here is what I have: Data Bases 1) Teams DB - Each team has a unique team ID, location, logo, and owner 2) Schedule DB - Each game has a unique game ID, and the schedule is set up like this: AWAY = Team ID, HOME = Team ID.... So I assume I am using the JOIN command to pull the schedule from both databases, any idea how the SQL command would look? Hi, I have multiple table Table -1 order_no name 1 raj table -2 order_no name 1 raj table 3 order_no name 1 raj table 4 order_no name 1 raj table 5 order_no name 1 raj I want a query to check if the id (one) is present in all tables or not, i create this. select order_no from prepress, press, postpress, qc, binding, dispatch where order_no=prepress.order_no AND order_no=press.order_no AND order_no=postpress.order_no AND order_no=qc.order_no AND order_no=binding.order_no AND order_no=dispatch.order_no but the ambiguous error for order_no. how to achieve this can anyone suggest me? thanks I've got a table (tbl_items) that holds a number of items and the individual information for each. Within 'tbl_items' I also have a row labeled 'category_id' in which each item is given a number (ex: 2). I've got a separate table (tbl_items_categories) that only has 2 rows: 'category_id' and 'category_name'. I wasn't sure if a JOIN method would be best for this but what would be the best approach to list all items and within each item, also echo out the name of the category they belong to and not the category_id number? Hi, My name is stefan and I've been trying to develop a php/mysql based CRM for private use. I've stumbled upon a problem a few days ago and I just can't figure it out, so if you could help me, I'd really appreciate it. The problem is the following: I have 1 database which contains 5 tables. Each table has info in it but the primary key always is 'ID' 4 Tables are named; Zendingen | Klanten | Manden | Bestemmeling The last table, named 'Combination' has the unique ID of each of those 4 in it. The example will be given below. What I want to do now is create a page that shows all stored rows in 'Combination'-table, but gets the proper client_name or product_info out of the corresponding table. I have searched for it myself but I have no clue where to begin and how to define my searches so they all stranded. This is the piece of code. Code: (php) [Select] $Shipm1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Shipments where Zending_ID = 9") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($Shipm1)) { echo "<br />"; echo $row["ID"]; echo "<br />"; echo $row["Zending_ID"]; echo "<br />"; echo $row["Klant_ID"]; echo "<br />"; echo $row["Mand_ID"]; echo "<br />"; echo $row["Bestemmeling_ID"]; echo "<br />"; }This code returns: Quote 3 ---- the ID of the 'combination' table and thus primary key 9 ---- Zending_ID 47 --- Klant_ID 17 --- Mand_ID 2 ---- Bestemmeling_ID 4 This is another row from the combinations table, 9 notice that it only returns the Zending_ID = 9. 49 21 4 Now this gives me the info I want, but it doesn't displays them how I need it to. I want it to search up each ID in the proper table and return me the product name, client name etc... Anyone who can help or point me in the right direction? Kind regards Stefan |
