PHP - Help In Storing A Database Value To A Php Variable
Quote
i want to store a value from a database and use it as variable in php code can anyone help me out in this code i want to store value of copies in a php variable and want that it should be more than 0 (zero) for furthur calculations $update_book="update book set copies=copies-1 where bookid='$bookid'"; $result=mysql_query($update_book,$linkID1); if($result) { print "<html><body background=\"header.jpg\"> <p>book successfully subtracted from database</p></body></html>"; } else { print "<html><body background=\"header.jpg\"> <p>problem occured</p></body></html>"; } Similar TutorialsThis seems really straight forward but I can't figure out why it's happening. As a part of an account registration script, I'm randomly generating a password using a function called, generatePassword($length,$strength); I hash the password (md5) before putting it in the database but I also email the non-hashed version to the user. My problem is that each time I call the variable, it generates a new password so the one in the database does not match the one received by the user, $user_password_plain = generatePassword($length,$strength); $user_password = md5($user_password_plain); Is there a different way to store the variable so that I can access it later in the script and it will be the same? I tried using a session variable but that didn't seem to work either. Thanks! Hi Guys. I need your help. Is it possible to store results from sql query as a variable. I am basically doing a few joins to get this result and I wanted to know if this was possible. I am generating a few different reports through mysql querys and displaying tables. I have a mail script that stores html code into a variable called $message. How can I store all of my queried data into the variable $message? Example of one of the three tables I am displaying and I am wanting to store this whole table into the variable $message. Code: [Select] echo"<h3>Margin Less than 15% for $datequery</h3>"; echo"<table border=1 cellpadding=3><tr><td><center><b>Invoice Number</b></center></td><td><center><b>Invoice Date</b></center></td><td><center><b>Customer Number</b></center></td><td><center><b>Company</b></center></td><td><center><b>Margin</b></center></td></tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $invoice=$row['INVNO']; $invoicedate=$row['INVDTE']; $customernumber=$row['CUSTNO']; $company=$row['COMPANY']; $invoicetotal=$row['ITOTAL']; $invoicecost=$row['ICOST']; @$ABOVE30= @($invoicecost * 100) / $invoicetotal; @$FINAL30=100 - $ABOVE30; $FINAL30=number_format($FINAL30, 2, '.', ''); IF($FINAL30<="15") { echo "<tr><td><center>$invoice</center></td><td><center>$invoicedate</center></td><td><center>$customernumber</center></td><td><center>$company</center></td><td><center>$FINAL30%</center></td></tr>"; } } echo"</table><hr />"; Hi, wondering if somebody can tell me where I'm going wrong (I'm new to all of this). I have the following php code which uploads an image file into my database: Code: [Select] //Connect to database include 'Resources/Include/db.inc.php'; $tmp=$_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; //get users IP $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //Don't do anything if file wasn't selected if (!empty($tmp)) { //Copy file to temporary folder copy($tmp, "./temporary/".$ip.""); //open the copied image, ready to encode into text to go into the database $filename1 = "./temporary/".$ip; $fp1 = fopen($filename1, "rb"); //record the image contents into a variable $contents1 = fread($fp1, filesize($filename1)); $contents1 = addslashes($contents1); //close the file fclose($fp1); $ftype = $_FILES['image']['type']; //insert information into the database if(!mysql_query("INSERT INTO LetterImages (Data,Type,LetterID,Page)"." VALUES ( '$contents1', '$ftype',1,1)")){ echo mysql_error(); } //delete the temporary file we made unlink($filename1); } This seems to work ok, as when I go to the LetterImages table there is now an additional row with a file in the blob field. I then have the following code which is supposed to display the image: Code: [Select] $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM LetterImages WHERE LetterID=1 AND Page=1"); //fetch data from database $sqldata=mysql_fetch_array($result); $encoded=stripslashes($sqldata['Data']); $ftype=$sqldata['Type']; //tell the browser what type of image to display header("Content-type: $ftype"); //decode and echo the image data echo $encoded; Instead of displaying an image, however, this just displays pages and pages of incomprehensible data. Can anybody tell me where I'm going horribly wrong? I've got an array like this: $firstquarter = array('January', 'February', 'March'); Then I'm adding it to a MySQL DB as follows: $insert = "INSERT INTO sometable (months) VALUES ('$firstquarter') "; $insertresult = mysql_query($insert) or die ('Error in Insert query: ' . mysql_error()); When I use PHPMyAdmin I see a this value stored in the DB: 'Array' Can I retrieve the values, by index, from this database field?? Hi I am using Zen-Cart to which I have made significant changes. Two years ago I managed to change the Products Sort Order from Integer to Decimal(5,2) to store books such as 1, 1.5, 1.75, 2 etc. Regrettably we had a major server issue and I also lost the new coding. Having restored everything else whenever we enter a book series number such as 1.5 it only stores as 1. To date the zen-Cart forums have been unable to offer a solution so I am reaching out to see if anyone else can advise me of how to get this working again please.
Thanks in advance Owen
Dear All, I am developing a like/dislike voting system for a scientific experiment in which the user will cast vote on a number of images. I have already written the code for it but the code is unable to store the data in the database. Kindly help me out in this issue. Below is my code for it: HTML Form for Like/Dislike Button: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title> Like/Dislike buttons </title> </head> <body> <h1> Like/Dislike buttons </h1> <form name="form1" action="likedislike.php" method ="post"> <input type="submit" name="Like" value="Like"> <input type="submit" name="Dislike" value="dislike"> </form> </body> </html> PHP code for retrieving data and storing the vote in the database: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); ob_start(); $host="localhost"; $username="computat_abhi"; $password="1123581321"; $databasename="computat_button"; $tbl_name="record"; $db=mysql_connect ("localhost","computat_abhi","1123581321")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db($databasename,$db); if( isset($_POST['Like']) ) { $sql = 'INSERT INTO record(Image Number,Like Counter) VALUES ("b1.php",1)'; $result = mysql_query($sql); } elseif(isset($_POST['Dislike'])){ $sql = 'INSERT INTO record(Image Number,Dislike Counter) VALUES ("b1.php",1)'; $result = mysql_query($sql); } ob_end_flush(); ?> Thank you for your help. I need some advice, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this or not but I'll give it a try. I am creating a website for a small group of people to be able to message back and forth. I ran into a problem when doing the whole reply to a message option. I dont want to have each individual message as a new entry in my database, and then look for each message in that conversation when loading the conversation, I thought about inserting something like +=+=+=+=+=+= in between messages in the conversation so that when i pull up that conversation i could just separate the messages into an array by looking for that +=+=+=+=+=+= in the string of text and separating all the messages out. I want to know if anyone knows a better way of doing this or if this is a good way to go. thanks for any suggestions. For some reason my for loop only seems to be storing some data in my fields, most of the time the data is not true but simply duplicating one of the entries. So instead of having a string of 1,2,3,4 for instance it would store all of them as 4. The entires are selected using fields in a multiple select box, in theory of someone choses 10 unique entries from the "Systems" category all 10 should be made into rows in the MySQL table. Any idea why this is happening? The form, if ($type == "games") { echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td><td><select name='".$name."_".$i."'[] multiple='multiple'><option value='' selected>--------</option>"; $sqla = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$pre."games ORDER BY `name` ASC") or die(mysql_error()); while($row2a = mysql_fetch_array($sqla)) { $system = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$pre."systems WHERE id = '".$row2a[system]."'")); echo "<option value='".$row2a[id]."'>".$row2a[name]." - ".$system[name]."</option>"; } echo "</select></td></tr>"; } if ($type == "system") { echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td><td><select name='".$name."_".$i."'[] multiple='multiple'><option value='' selected>--------</option>"; $sqlb = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$pre."systems ORDER BY `name` ASC") or die(mysql_error()); while($row2b = mysql_fetch_array($sqlb)) { echo "<option value='".$row2b[id]."'>".$row2b[name]."</option>"; } echo "</select></td></tr>"; } The PHP code, while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $name = "$row[name]"; for ($i = 0; $i < count($_POST["systems_$i"]); $i++) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$pre."fielddata VALUES (null, 'systems', '".$_POST["systems_$i"]."', '".$fetch[0]."', 'content')"); } for ($i = 0; $i < count($_POST["games_$i"]); $i++) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$pre."fielddata VALUES (null, 'games', '".$_POST["games_$i"]."', '".$fetch[0]."', 'content')"); } Okay I'm a newbie at PHP but was trying to write a counter for my website to count the amount of times a specific button is clicked. My desired outcome is as follows: If the form submit button "like" or "dislike" is clicked, get user's ip and check to see if it already exists in the database. If it exists, don't increment the count (of either button), otherwise log the ip and increment the count (of whichever button is clicked) by 1. Currently I've got the increment working (testing only the like button at the moment) and I've got the ip being stored into the database, but cannot get the comparison to work. Each time the button is clicked it adds the ip address into the database instead of disallowing it. Note: there are two different tables--one storing the ip (counter) and one storing the like clicks (Designs) (dunno if there's a better way?) Excuse my newbieness. The problem area: (like button only): if(isset($_POST['like'])) { $ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $query = mysql_query("SELECT ip FROM counter WHERE ip = '$ip_address'"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($num_rows > 0) { die ("You've already clicked the button!"); } else { mysql_query("INSERT INTO counter VALUES ($ip_address)"); mysql_query("UPDATE Designs SET up = up + 1 WHERE ref = 'cataclysm'"); } } $select = mysql_query("SELECT up FROM Designs"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($select)) { echo $row['up']; } Hopefully someone can help, firstly i am a newbie at php coding but keen to learn more.
Here is my problem
The database is built correctly with all the information i need, the first part is the dropdown menu which you select a car, next you choose a month and mileage - from there it shall show you the correct price for each one. There is columns for each price, mileage and months i just need to figure out how best to start this thing.
I first started by this
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT Full_Description FROM import"; I have a series of echo statements containing html and php elements. Is it possible to somehow store the following statements in one variable by concatenating and later print that variable. The variable should print out the statements as it is printing now. Code: [Select] <? echo "USER banned:<b>"; echo '<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="'.$forumurl.'1acpanel/user.php?do=edit&u='.$banuserid.'"<fontcolor="#4822aa" face="verdana" size="2">'.$banusername.'</font></a><br>'; echo "</b>USER Banned By:<b>"; echo '<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="'.$forumurl.'1acpanel/user.php?do=edit&u='.$banneruserid.'"><font color="#4822aa" face="verdana" size="2">'.$bannerusername.'</font></a><br>'; echo "</b>Banned on:<b>".$bandate."</b><br>"; echo "Reason:<b>".$reason."</b><br><br>"; ?> Hello,
I have a table with these columns (database)

Here i am not getting how to store it in that table. Actually all the 24 inputs are not mandatory. If user fills only 2 then also it should store it in the database table.
I tried to do like this
if(isset($_POST['save']))
{
$roll_no = $_POST['roll_no'];
$ins_amt1 = $_POST['installment1'];
$due_date1 = $_POST['due_date1'];

This will reduce the number of calls to the mysql database, as these are key parameters and needed in every page. But, a well-developed CMS like Wordpress uses a mysql table to store such basic data. What is your idea? Ain't it better to reduce mysql loads? I am working on a kind of CMS for my own website which no one else will be using but me as a way of improving my php skills, and am having problems with retrieving data from the database that holds both text and php code. I have searched the web and found that i should be using eval() for the code to be executed before it is send to the browser but cannot get it to work and can't find my mistake(s). the php code will always be the same, and is supposed to retrieve the id number of a page to use in a link (and works fine when tested by loading the code directly without retrieving it from the database) this is an example of data stored in the database Code: [Select] The <a href="page_builder.php?id=<?php echo $page->id('mines_DwarvenMines') ?>">Dwarven Mines</a> have a great selection of Ores,... Of course when I leave it like this, hovering over the link in my page will show exactly that and lead to nowhere Code: [Select] localhost/page_builder.php?id=<?php echo $page->id('mines_DwarvenMines') ?> Most of these links appear in tips given at the end of the page and are processed as followed Code: [Select] $questtips = $quest->getQuestTips(); $tips = ""; if ($questtips == "none") { $tips = "/"; } else { foreach($questtips as $tip) { $tips .= "<li>"; $tips .= $tip->getTip(); $tips .= "</li>"; } } and finally put on screen by the presentation layer as followed Code: [Select] <h2>Tips & Extra Info</h2> <div class="tipsList"> <ul> <?php echo $tips ?> </ul> </div> I have tried all sorts to get the code to be executed when retrieved from the database before being send to the browser so that this particular link would say "localhost/page_builder.php?id=57" but I cannot get it to work, though I suspect it is fairly easy. I suspect I would have to store the data in a different format in the database? And how exactly do I use the eval() function in my case? Could someone please adjust my code so that it does work? Thanks Hi everyone,
I'm a complete newbie here. I've looked around for help and tried a few solutions without success, so because time is short I'm asking for help.
I have a registration form which includes address details. The form holds a country field which is a listbox, the values being selected from a MySQL table. How do I assign the selected country option to a field list in the insert statement?
Here's what I have so far:
Registration page form:
<div class="form-group"> hi everyone, i just signed up on this forum. I have issue, my clients wants to save time by copying data into a textarea and then letting the script process it and store it in database. the problem is never done that. the data is made up for eg. Title Mr Name Radio86 Address Chiltren House etc.... how do i split this data up and store it in database, btw ive just started programming in php in other words newbie Please help me, thanks in advance This is more of a database architect question.
I am building a CMS for website development. I am ready to use it for the first time on one of my clients. Now, my issue is is how to set up some or one of my table(s) for some areas that my client wants to be able to change in the admin section.
In their website on the front page, I put together this nice block slider. Its 6 blocks with text, a background image and nice effects. At first it was always going to be static, which was no issue at all, but later they came to me and asked if they could be able to change words in the boxes themselves in the admin section..
Of course this can be easily done by creating a table that is associated with this home page block thing and each row in the table will correspond to one of the blocks on the home page.
But I believe there might be an easier way to store this type of data without having to create another table for every feature the client wants to edit, for example they also want to be able to edit a slider on another page.
The WordPress database then came into my mind and how they store most of their data as JSON. So I was then thinking of creating a table named 'modules' for examples with three columns (id, title, data). Then inside the data column store the editable fields as a JSON string object.
For example a row could like like :
1, "Front Page Box Slider", {"slider-home" : [ {"data" : "value", "img_1", "value1"}, {"data" : "value", "img_2", "value2"} ]}
I've been doing a bit of research on this and people have just been saying, never do this if you do want your data to be searched through, which I don't.
Can anyone tell me why or why not I should do this, or maybe a better solution to my problem?
Thank you
