PHP - Simple Database Interaction - If You Know How.
I have 2 tables and am trying to conduct an SQL query. I simply need to know how to use a JOIN when two fields in each table are needed to match the records up. I would rather not create another field in each table.
I have put my query below which would work other than for what is obviously not possible ("ON xyz=xyz && abc=abc" etc.) Table 1 "Employees" employeeDept / deptEmployeeRef / name / wage A / 2 / Dave Smith / 2000 B / 2 / Robert Brown / 2500 Table 2 "Deductions" monthNo / employeeDept / deptEmployeeRef / deduction 32 / B / 2 / 300 32 / C / 2 / 300 32 / A / 3 / 300 33 / B / 2 / 500 Each department has employees starting from number 1 so two fields are needed in each table to match the records up. SELECT t1.name, (t1.wage - t2.deduction) FROM $tableName1 AS t1 LEFT JOIN $tableName2 AS t2 ON t1.employeeDept=t2.employeeDept && t1.deptEmployeeRef=t2.deptEmployeeRef WHERE t2.monthNo = '32' So this should return: Dave Smith 2000 Robert Brown 2200 Similar TutorialsI have tried for ages but can't get a LEFT JOIN to work on this. I want ALL table 1 records listed and done so any records in table 2 (that apply) are taken into account (and the deduction amount removed from wages). If month is 32 now, then the query would return: Dave Smith / 2000 Robert Brown / 2200 Table 1 "Employees" employeeDept / deptEmployeeRef / name / wage A / 2 / Dave Smith / 2000 B / 2 / Robert Brown / 2500 Table 2 "Deductions" monthNo / employeeDept / deptEmployeeRef / deduction 32 / B / 2 / 300 32 / C / 2 / 300 32 / A / 3 / 300 33 / B / 2 / 500 "BACK" or REFRESH: Preventing database interaction / code execution how to prevent database interaction / code execution when user presses back or refresh button? can i detect? can i disable back/refresh? I'm trying to recreate a sort of image based ratings system. Example: What I want to display is on the left. I've got a MySQL table with two fields: postid and rating. Each rating is a number between 1 and 15, they correspond to the rating icons. What I'm trying to do is go through all the entries with a specific postid, and list the amount of each rating, but I don't how to do so. Google hasn't been much help so i work on wowroster.net making upgrades to roster i have created a user lib for the sit and im now adding sessions but im getten some odd issues.... this is one of the inserts and sent to mysql_query example Code: [Select] UPDATE `roster_sessions` SET `session_user_id` = '0', `session_last_visit` = '1331544818', `session_browser` = '', `session_ip` = '127.0.0.1', `session_time` = '1331545718', `session_page` = 'p=guild-main&a=g:1' WHERE `session_id` = '6m7js82r848kk2s90sjfmuj325' YET.. this is what i get in my database sql dump from my admin Code: [Select] INSERT INTO `roster_sessions` (`sess_id`, `session_id`, `session_user_id`, `session_last_visit`, `session_start`, `session_time`, `session_ip`, `session_browser`, `session_forwarded_for`, `session_page`, `session_viewonline`, `session_autologin`, `session_admin`) VALUES ('5764d5713a7f24c82b30d271460bf68c', '6m7js82r848kk2s90sjfmuj325', '3', 0, 1331544818, 1331545718, '127.0.0.1', '', '', 'addons-main-images-shadow', 0, 0, 0); any clue at all... Hi guys, I want to create a simple database and use PHP to output the database to certain positions on a HTML page. I am basically trying to recreate this: http://bit.ly/dX4byI I want to have a form where the event info is selected from drop down box such as: Venue and Date then the the rest of the form data (event name, artists, opening times) will go into the right box depending on this. Does anyone have any pointers? Am I even going about this the right way?! i have enters some data using form which submit data in sql table1 like this, Fields name in table -->> id First name Lastname Date data saved -->> 1 user 1 2011-05-10 2 user 2 2011-05-11 3 user 3 2011-05-12 now i dont want to duplicate date in database let say while inserting data using form, Firstname : ____________ Lasename : ____________ Date : ____________ (i dont want this date to b save if the date alredy exist in database, it should prompt user "Date already exist and to edit click here (this will be the link to that date which is already exist so that we can edit) " ) SAVE i user files , form.php , insert.php(so insert values in database) , so tell me what function should i use to solve my problem.... shouldnt this add a ip address into my data base on row "login_ip"? does putting that = sign between the two saying for it to add it? I appreciate if anyone can help me with this Code: [Select] if(empty($row['login_ip'])){ $row['login_ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];} I am trying to do something that a hell of a lot of people must need to do every day, yet despite this I can not find a single example online, or in books, which makes absolutely no sense! Anyway, hopefully it will be blindingly obvious to someone what I'm doing wrong, I really hope so as I can't figure it out...

This scenario must come up for zillions of developers, but so far no-one has been able to help. Please can anyone assist... Hey, I'm trying to work out how I can have a simple script that will work like this: Page 1 - Heading, Paragraph, Image read from database. Page 2 - Has text boxes allowing you to change heading, paragraph and image (url) with each edit using a different text box. (Admin panel) The database connection would be in a separate file. So far I've got the database connection sorted. Code: [Select] <?php //Database Information $dbtype = "mysql"; $db_host = "localhost"; $db_user = ""; $db_pass = ""; $db_name = ""; $db_port = ""; $db_table_prefix = "userCake_"; ?> At the top of each of the other pages this is what I've got. Code: [Select] <?php require_once("models/config.php"); ?> Let's say I give each bit stored in the database a page ID and an object ID. If the page selected is index.php how can we give it a page ID of 1 and give then include all the separate 'objects' throughout the page? Hopefully this makes sense? Cheers, Jack This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=314391.0 I cant figure out why im having this problem. i stuck this at the top of my page on its own and it wont update the row to read Code: [Select] <?php mysql_query("UPDATE pm SET read= 'read' WHERE pm_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['pm_id'])."'"); ?> I echo $_GET['pm_id']; and that turn out correct and the number matches the pm_id on the row. everything is lowercase I typed read manually into the column and echo that and it showed read also I have this same exact line of code on another script that works fine. does someone see something im over looking? this is driving me crazy http://localhost/stargate/users/view.php?pm_id=1376672&inbox=2 Code: [Select] <?php require("menu.php"); ?> <html> <body> <?php mysql_query("UPDATE pm SET read= 'read' WHERE pm_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['pm_id'])."'"); ?> </body> </html> First time poster, and very amateur php coder.
