PHP - Need To Pull Not From A Table...

This is my code. Data is been pulled from db_faq and Db_2 and then match the records against each other using array_intersect(). And as you see the data from db_faq is been pulled based on the $username.

My question is how can I ignore the $username and match all rows in db_faq against the data in db_2? Basically I need to get the matching records between the 2 databases regardless of the username.

$Array1 = array();
$Array2 = array();
$var1 = '$username';
$query1 =  "SELECT * FROM db_faq WHERE username = '".$var1."'";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1);
$score1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);
foreach (range('25','35') as $ltr) {
$Array1[] = array($score1['roundzA' . $ltr]);
}

$var2 = 'new';
$query =  "SELECT * FROM db_2 WHERE place = schedule";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$score2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
foreach (range('25','35') as $ltr) {
$Array2[] = array($score2['points' . $ltr]);
}
$count = array();
for($i=0;$i<count($Array1);++$i) {
$count[$i] = count(array_intersect($Array1[$i],$Array2[$i]));
}
$countResult = array_sum($count);

field1 / field2
10  /  England
15  /  Italy
20  / France
15  /  France
30  /  USA

When searching for France:
SELECT DISTINCT field2, field1 FROM $tableName would return a distinct value. I want to ensure it returns the highest value in field1.

Something like this:

SELECT DISTINCT field2 (but ensure returns highest field 1 value), field1 FROM $tableName

how do I call only a single column in a MySQL?

This is not working.
$SomeVar = $_POST['finco'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM idb WHERE name = '".$SomeVar."'";
$results = mysql_query($query);
$psend = $results["fincos"];
echo($psend);

anybody has any idea what the code is to put in a main image.

So far i was able to find this but it pulls up all the images added in the album. I am only looking for the first image. Thank you.

 <ul class="thumbs thumbs_nocaptions">
        <?php foreach( $this->paginator as $photo ): ?>
          <li>
            <a class="thumbs_photo" href="<?php echo $photo->getHref(); ?>">
              <span style="background-image: url(<?php echo $photo->getPhotoUrl('thumb.normal'); ?>);"></span>
            </a>
          </li>
        <?php endforeach;?>
      </ul>

Hi firends, there is a store named "baslik". i try to creating photo gallery. i am saving photo and photo's name in database. Photo's name store named "baslik". Now, For example i am saving called "Summer Photos". i saved 10 photos. When i pull the images and names, all photos and names are pulling. I want to pull one image and its name from "baslik" store. "baslik" store's type "varchar" When i click the image's name, it should post other "Summer Photos". Image gallery should creating next to next like 1. image. And When i clicked the image, other images should open. For example when i clicked "meeting" image, it should go other "meeting" images. So, i want to categorize the images.

You can look i put images.

 

Good afternoon:

I have added a database field to a table that has quiz questions in it.
the field I have added is for images and I have entered the image url that is stored on the server in an image folder.

Please could you tell me how I can include the image in the request by adding to the code below:

$Questions = $DB->query("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."quiz_questions where q_forquiz='{$Quiz['qid']}' order by qqid");

while($Question = $DB->fetch_array($Questions)){
$Q[$Question['qqid']] = $Question;
}

Fields in table quiz_questions:
qqid
q_question
q_type
q_params
q_forquiz
q_questionimages - This is the field I added.

Thank you for helping.
Amilo

This is the link to pull the page

http://127.0.0.1/kudos/?viewkudoid=###

This is the kudo-function.php page

function get_kudo_info($viewkudoid){
	global $wpdb;
    $tablename=acikudos_table_name();
    $viewsql = "SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE kudoid='$viewkudoid'";
	$viewresult = $wpdb->get_results($viewsql);
    #$vewrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($viewresult);

    return $viewresult;
}

This is the kudo-view.php page

function show_kudos($viewkudoid)
{
   global $wpdb;
   
   $viewkudoid = $_GET['viewkudoid'];
   
   $getthekudo = get_kudo_info($viewkudoid);

    if ($viewkudoid == $getthekudo['kudoid']) {
        
		echo 'Congratulations, you have successfully fixed it!';
    } else {
    echo 'Everything is displayed';
}
	} 

 add_shortcode( 'kudosview', 'show_kudos' );

I know the issue is right in front of me but I can not find it.

I don't know that the subject describes exactly what I want to do so I will explain it as best as I can.

I have a form that uses a select box to pull all the names of our employees from the database. I then have a submit button that opens up a page. The code from my view.php is as follows:

<form onsubmit="return validateForm()" name="frmRequest" action="attendance.php" method="post" encytype="multipart/form-data">
Which employee would you like? 
<select>
<?
@ $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "db_user", "db_pass");
mysql_select_db("EmployeeInfo");
$strSQL = "SELECT Name FROM EmployeeInfo ORDER BY Name";
$rs = mysql_query($strSQL);
$nr = mysql_num_rows($rs);
for ($i=0; $i<$nr; $i++) {
$r = mysql_fetch_array($rs);
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"".$r["Name"]."\">".$r["Name"]."</OPTION>";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" class="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

On the attendance.php form, I need it to display that user that was pulled from the form on the page before. What would be the best way to do this? I am fairly new to PHP and i'm at a loss right now.

Thanks,
dmcdaniel

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a php script that can pull html from a external site and create a local page with all the urls and image paths rewritten to local paths.

I'm trying to create a module for Drupal that does this. Any script already written that I can adapt to Drupal would be great.

If no one is aware of a current script that does this, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi there all, I want to pull news feeds, from a web site and display them ....

I have forgot what commands to use to do this.

please help.

Any example, i am most grateful.

hi all,

i have a profile page which is a form that asks users to enter there personal details such as name, location, mobile number etc and saves this info with a mysql database, however when you return to the edit profile page the fields are blank and i want them to pull the details the user has entered (if any) and display it, so if a user entered there name as Lee, then returned to the edit profile page there name field would show lee instead of being empty.

heres my profiles page code, any help would be great

Hey Guys,

I'm building a site to view images on, basically the image detail is stored in a database, the site is then accessed and a standard select query is used. I then get the image name etc pulled from the database. Is there a way to save that image name into a variable and get it to display on a form that is run from a function - completely independent to my viewing code...

 

Some sort of global variable, but that could change each time I viewed a different photo - and wouldn't have any effect on anyone else browsing the site etc - so the correct image name would always be passed?

I have played around with this for SOOOOO long. I have 2 other scripts that are almost exact replicas of this script. Only difference is they are communicating with a different table...but its basically the EXACT same structure of code and functions. My tables consist of some int values, some varchar values, and the data submitted in these variables should get written to the table where the project ID is = to the id I'm working with. All of that seems to be working fine but whenever I enter the info into the form and submit, NOTHING gets written to my table....I'm completely STUMPED and P-O'd that I just wasted a complete 2 hours doing guess and check and cross comparing scripts. I can't find a thing!!!! Below is my html.....hopefully someone smarter than me can put 2 and 2 together because obviously I am an idiot!!!! Also its organized so well that you would think diagnosing the issue would be simple....not the case. I am totally and utterly stumped. I will even add my other code that works to show you what I mean.
