PHP - Storing Values In Table
Hi all,
I need to create a table which holds a list of values, for EG 1 PHP 2 MySQL 3 HTML 4 JS The reason im doing this is so when a user visits X page on my site, they are presented with a list of possible options which they can tick, for instance if you were asked what languages your fluent with you would tick HTML and JS (or w/e applies to you) What would be the best way of constructing the table? Thanks Similar Tutorials
Table Issue - Multiple Location Values For User Pushes Values Out Of Row Instead Of Wrapping In Cell
Hey guys, What would you recommend to store db values for later? the only thing I can come up with is doing it this way: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='$user'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { } { and then using the $row['dbvariable'] later is that the best way? This topic has been moved to Application Design. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=311333.0 Hi guys, Im currently doing a project for college and i have experienced some problems with saving my php drop down values to my database. im am getting no error but my values are not being stored to my db.If anyone could help me or point me in the correct direction then id be grateful. Ive attached my code. 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
Edited by carlosmoreeira, 17 September 2014 - 07:37 PM. Hello! I am designing a user registration form which has some radio buttons for people to select. I am confused as to how I should store the value selected by the user into the database. Here is my code, just in case. <li id="li_2" > <label class="description" for="element_2">I am a </label> <span> <input id="element_2_1" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="1" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_1">Student</label> <input id="element_2_2" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="2" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_2">Staff</label> <input id="element_2_3" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="3" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_3">Member</label> <input id="element_2_4" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="4" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_4">Other</label> </span> </li> i want to store some data that i have gained from a request at the planetfile of openstreetmap: so i have set up a database on my opensuse 13.1 i have created a db called test on the mysql-server on my opensuse: CREATE TABLE `pois` ( `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `lat` float(10,7) NOT NULL, `lon` float(10,7) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) CREATE TABLE `pois_tag` ( `poisid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `tagname` varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `tagvalue` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`poisid`,`tagname`) ) Where each tagname/value pair is stored as a row in a separate table with the pois id Processing would be like this <?php

If you would prefer postgresql - then i would takte this one.... ;-) well - i guess that the answer to this will be the same no matter what language we are using. If the db is a sql database we need to design the database schema and create the tables in the database. The first step in accessing a db in our code is to get a connection to it. If ruby is our choice of language, a search for "ruby sql connector" will give us lots of options to read about. Well - we also can do it in PHP. What do you think!? Next, based on the schema we have designed, we need to create queries suitable for storing the data. We will likely need to consider our transactional model. Again, searching "ruby sql transactional model" will give us plenty of food for thought. Finally, we may want or need to close the connection to the database. i have a dictionary - THIS IS obviously a python dictionary an this has approx 8 000 lines with records [/CODE] $ python printer.py {'url': 'http://www.site1_com' 'cname': 'butcher', 'name': 'cheng', 'email': 'mail1@hotmail.com'} {'url': 'http://www.site2_com' 'cname': 'dilbert', 'name': 'James', 'email': 'mail2@hotmail.com'} [code=auto:0]i have a mysql-db up and runing in my opensuse there i have created a db with the fields url cname name i use the import MySQLdb i studied this documentation he http://stackoverflow...abase-in-python but i think this goes a bit over my head. - well how can i get the data ( in other words the dictionary) into the database? love to hear from you greetings Hi there, I am working on a PHP web form and I have a very simple situation I guess, I have a variable named: $MyVal When I do print_r($MyVal); To see whats inside, I get: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 8.23 ) Now I am assigning this variable into a session variable so that I can do calculations with it. So I assign: $_SESSION['MySesVal'] = $MyVal; But after assigning to session variable, when I do my calculations: $finalValue = $_SESSION['MySesVal'] * 4; I get 0. So is it because the actual $MyVal variable has some XML stuff as: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 8.23 ) So what is the right way to properly assign $MyVal variable to a session variable to do calculations. Please reply. All comments and feedbacks are always welcome. Thank you! I created a simple search box which will query my table and match the input value to one of my columns. two of these columns store comma separated values. if i query a column other than a column which stores my csv i can see my search results. if i query a column which stores my csv i will not see results unless the search value matches the first value within the column. how would i be able to get say the second or third or forth value. here is the code i am using to query the table any help would be appreciated thanks. Code: [Select] $q = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col2 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col3 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col4 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR FIND_IN_SET('searchvalue', col5) > 0 ". " OR FIND_IN_SET('searchvalue', col6) > 0"); Hello again, guys! I have a couple of questions that I hope anyone can answer. I am making a form that is storing the information in a database, and in this form I also want images to be uploaded. I want to make a function that allows the user to upload as many images as they would like to have in their ad on my website, and I also need something that can handle the upload process, and see how many images the user is trying to upload. Any easy solutions for this? I also have another question: As you can see on the example image underneath this text, I have a form with multiple inputs where the user is suppose to choose how many inputs they want to fill in themself. How should I store this information in the database, and how can I make a script that detects how many of the forms the user actually filled? I hope you guys understood what I was trying to say, and I thank you all anyways. Underneath you can see an image of my forms. Example image: Cheers, Marius I'm developing an arabic site...but also want to view it in English...I'm thinking of using windows translating service (depending on good it is). Now I was thinking of having columns in my table like so...english title, arabic title, english description, arabic description As it can charge for words to be translated...when translating arabic to english I can store the results in the column so they would no longer have to be translated again My question is...is it good practice to have separate columns for different languages?...thank you...any input would be great Hi, My company has 240+ locations and as such some users (general managers) cover multiple sites. When I run a query to pull user information, when the user has multiple sites to his or her name, its adds the second / third sites to the next columns, rather than wrapping it inside the same table cell. It also works the opposite way, if a piece of data is missing in the database and is blank, its pull the following columns in. Both cases mess up the table and formatting. I'm extremely new to any kind of programming and maybe this isn't the forum for this question but figured I'd give it a chance since I'm stuck. The HTML/PHP code is below: <table id="datatables-column-search-select-inputs" class="table table-striped" style="width:100%"> <thead> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>FirstName</th> <th>LastName</th> <th>Username</th> <th>Phone #</th> <th>Location</th> <th>Title</th> <th>Role</th> <th>Actions</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <?php //QUERY TO SELECT ALL USERS FROM DATABASE $query = "SELECT * FROM users"; $select_users = mysqli_query($connection,$query);

I would like to store sql query strings in a database. A query might look this like:
SELECT * from ListTable where id = '$id'
The idea would be to retrieve the string and run it as a SQL string. $id would be defined in the procedure so the idea is that when I send the SQL String through, $id would be replaced with its value and everything would work.
Under normal circumstances, the code would look like this:
$id = "somevalue"; $lcSQL = "SELECT * from ListTable where id = '$id'";I would pass the SQL select off to mySQL and all is right with the world. I just want to store the string in a database, retreieve it and use it. Thanks for your help in advance... 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 Hey guys, I'm new here so hello... but I'll get right to the point: I have a table named POSTS, where I store user posts. In this table, I have a row named "Popularity". Now I would like the value of "Popularity" to be a function of the number of Likes, Dislikes, Views and Date posted, all of which are stored in respective tables (linked by Primary and Secondary keys). I was wondering if it actually is possible to have the value of "Popularity" adjust automatically when a change in "Likes", "Dislikes" or "Views" occurs. And if not, what alternatives I have. The ultimate reason I need to have this value stored in a table and up to date is that I wish to sort posts by "Popularity". Many thanks !!! Hi All,
I want to copy into a table values from another table that partially match a given value, case-insensitively. So far I do as follows but I wonder whether there is a quicker way.
$input_table=array('1'=>'toto','2'=>'tota','3'=>'hello','4'=>'TOTO','5'=>'toto');
$input_table_2 = array_map('strtolower', $input_table);
$value_to_look_for='Tot';
$value_to_look_for_2=strtolower($value_to_look_for);
$output_table=array();
foreach ($input_table_2 as $k=>$v)
{
if(false !== strpos($v, $value_to_look_for_2))
{
$output_table[]=$input_table[$k];
}
}
One drawback is that $input_table_2 is 'foreached' whereas there might be no occurrences, which would lead to a loss of time/resources for big arrays.
Thanks.
Hello, I need some help. Say that I have a list in my MySQL database that contains elements "A", "S", "C", "D" etc... Now, I want to generate an html table where these elements should be distributed in a random and unique way while leaving some entries of the table empty, see the picture below. But, I have no clue how to do this... Any hints? Thanks in advance, Vero |
