PHP - Using Mysql Tables And Php To Capture Custom Made Urls
I have a list names in a database table in MySQL that I need to repeat the same search for on my system to get the associated information. Is there a Loop command or some type of trick to making a php script search table1.row1 then table1.row2 then table1.row3 etc.
Basically using the row in the table as a variable for the other commands in the code. I really need some direction. Thanks. Similar TutorialsI have three tables that I can link up via mysql and get the results I need, but I could also query just the one table and get the info from the other two via a function, my question is which is the faster and/or better way and why? Thanks Hello everyone For a site of one of our customers our programmer created his own CMS which works OK at the site, but now the customer wants to shorten the URLS which are generated by the system. Is this easily possible? The programmer doesn't have the time to help us with it so that's why I try my luck here... I hope somebody can help me. Thanks! Hello, I have to do repetative search tasks over 3 websites. To make mylife easier (and for the fun of programming this), i'm trying to create the below: [text input box] link1 (checkbox) link2 (checkbox) link3 (checkbox) [submit button] I would like each checkbox to represent a custom URL, which (when checked) will then enter the search 'term' from the input textbox and open the generated URL in a new window. For example my 3 URLS will look like the below. I need to replace the search term ('my search term' in this example) and add the "+" symbol for each word. h.ttp://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&tbs=nws:1,sbd:1&q=my+search+term&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= h.ttp://search.ft.com/search?ftsearchType=type_news&sortBy=gadatetimearticle&queryText=my+search+term h.ttp://www.reuters.com/search?blob=my+search+term Would anyone have some code snippets in order to get me started? I'm new to PHP and custom forms, but can 'read' code rather well as I have previous coding experiences. Any help at all would be hugely appreciated! This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=315930.0 Hi Folks,
Firstly I am new, I have read several topics here and learned a lot, I would class myself as 'slightly better than basic', but my knowledge is mostly gained from reading code.
I am making a simple POST form for work, the data gets inserted into MySQL, nice and easy, I can make it work if I write out the statement completely, BUT I need to make a new form, it will have HUNDREDS of input fields, I really don't want to write the code, and I figured programmatically is a good way to go anyway as forms change and new forms may be required, so I set about building a function to completely handle my post data, bind it to a statement and insert it into a table, I have scrapped it a half dozen times already because something fundamentally doesn't work, but I am very close! The function can write the statement, but I need to bind the POST values before I can insert, something going wrong here and I would appreciate some help, I have a feeling it's a problem with an array, but anyway I will show you what I have, give you some comments as to my reasoning, and hopefully you can help me with the last bit
public function getColumnNames($table){ $sql = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE table_name = :table"; try { $stmt = $this->dbh->prepare($sql); $stmt->bindValue(':table', $table, PDO::PARAM_STR); $stmt->execute(); $output = array(); while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){ $output[] = $row['COLUMN_NAME']; } $all = array($output); $a1 = array_slice($output, 1); // I don't want column 1, it contains the ID, its auto incremented. $a2 = array_slice($a1, 0, -3); // I don't want the last 3 columns as they have default values $selected = array($a2); // contains all the columns except those excluded by array_slice, columns now match all of the input fields on the form foreach ($selected as $row){ $fields = "`" . implode('`, `', $row) . "`"; // I'm making `fields` here, $bind = ":" . implode(', :', $row); // And making :values here } return array ( "raw" => $all, "fields" => $fields, "bind" => $bind ); } catch(PDOException $pe) { trigger_error('Could not connect to MySQL database. ' . $pe->getMessage() , E_USER_ERROR); } } public function addRecord(){ $col = array(); $col = $this->getColumnNames("table"); $raw = array($col['raw']); $fields = array($col['fields']); $bind = array($col['bind']); $columnList = implode('`, `', $fields); $paramList = implode(', ', $bind); $sql = "INSERT INTO `{$this->dbtable}` ($columnList) VALUES ($paramList)"; return $sql; // this returns something like: INSERT INTO `table` (`field1`, `field2`, `field3`) VALUES (:field1, :field2, :field3)";perfect I thought, now I just need to bind the values from $_POST... then I get stuck. Edited by luke3, 08 January 2015 - 12:10 PM. Hello, I have a quick question about methods for retrieving records from a mysql table and displaying them as a links For example, imagine I have three tables called countries, cities and city_info. I'd like to be able to select a country and have a list of that country's city names returned as links. I'd then like to be able to click on the link for London, say, and that would trigger a mysql query to retrieve the entry in city_info about London. Are there any functions that allow this? If anyone could point me in the right direction for further research I'd be grateful. 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! Hi all, I am looking a developing a script that instead of using something like mysite.com/showproduct.php?id=1 I would like it to appear as mysite.com/php-editor Is their a simple way of doing this? I would still need to pull info from a database so the page would still need to be dynamic, I just want it to appear static! I am used to using the get id function of php, what would the workaround be? would the id be hidden from the url but still usable in a query? I have had a look at the apache mod_rewrite, but quite frankly, I dont understand it! Cheers Hi, I'm trying to connect to a database on a port other than 3306 to create a database. Here's my connect code: $connection = new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass)() But according to the PHP website it says I can lay the code out like so: new MySQLi($host,$user,$pass,$database,$port)() But how do I specify the port without the database? I've tried just "" as the database but the connection still fails. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure it's not much, but I'm not understanding something with custom error handlers: I've created a custom error handler, which I initially set when my page loads : set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' ));
It seems to catch all internal PHP errors, such as if I: var_dump($non_existing_var); right after the set_error_handler.... Now, I have an object that throws an exception after: set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' )); $locale = new \CorbeauPerdu\i18n\Locale(...); // this should throw an exception ... I thought that with an error handler set, I could 'skip' the try/catch for it, but doing so, PHP spits out in its internal log: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught CorbeauPerdu\i18n\LocaleException: ....
My error handler doesn't catch it at all before, thus my page breaks!! If I want it to go through the error handler, I have to init my Locale with a try/catch and use trigger_error() like so: set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' )); try { $locale = new \CorbeauPerdu\i18n\Locale(...); // this should throw an exception } catch(Exception $e) { trigger_error($e->getMessage(), E_USER_ERROR); } ... Is this normal ? I thought one of the goals of the error_handler was to catch anything that wasn't dealt with? Thanks for your answers! just trying to see if i have this right in my head here.. if i have a page that has a topic on it and many replies, the tables would look like this.. would this be the right code to pull out the topic AND all responses for say. www.mysite.com/view?id=1 $topic = 'SELECT * from topics where id = $id' $replies = 'SELECT * from replies where replies.topic_id = $id' Okay so I have 2 tables in my database. One called user and one called messages. A user logs in to the message board and leaves a message (eg nice website). They write in the author name and the message then after the message is posted it says "Nice website" Posted by (author) on (date). All is good so far. It works. However if you look at my code you will see I have a session started. This session is storing the username of the logged in user. From the column username in the users table. (This table has has an id for each user). Ive played around with the code trying to make it so the user doesnt have to fill in the author box. I want rid of that box So the logged in user just leaves a message then it says "posted by (username) on (date). Im missing something from my code. Can anyone tell me what? Please? <?php session_start(); mysql_connect("*************", "*****************", "***************"); mysql_select_db("***********************"); $time = time(); //this checks to see if the $_SESSION variable has been not set //or if the $_SESSION variable has been not set to true //and if one or the other is not set then the user gets //sent to the login page if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) { header('Location: http://***************.com/login.php'); } $query = "INSERT INTO messages VALUES( NULL, '". mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['message']) ."', '". mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']) ."', '$time' )";if( $result = mysql_query($query) ) { if(mysql_affected_rows() > 0 ) { echo "Message Posted.<br><a href='messageboard.php'>Return</a>"; } else { echo 'There was an error posting your message. Please try again later.'; } } else { echo "There was a database error."; // comment out next line for live site. echo "<br>Query string: $query<br>Returned error: " . mysql_error() . '<br>'; } ; I need some help on how to search in two different mysql tables, and then show the results sorted/ordered by the tables. Quote RESULTS: Tabel 1 # ... # ... Tabel 2 # ... # ... Thanks in advance! I have looked all over the net on how to fix this... I am creating a baseball statistical website and I have 2 tables with identical columns (2012hitting and 2013hitting). I am trying to create a page where I can 1) group each year's statistics (which I have been able to do) and 2) have a row named "Career Totals". Each table has about 15 columns, various stats. How can I add the data from my 2012hitting table to my 2013hitting table into a Career Totals row for each player? This is what I'm trying now: Code: [Select] /* CONNECTION VARIABLES */ $id = $_GET['id']; // get var from URL /* Get data. */ $sql = "SELECT * (sum(2012hitting.hr) +sum(2013hitting.hr)) as totalhr FROM 2012hitting, 2013hitting WHERE id='$id'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); ?> <?php $alternate = "2"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $field1 = $row["season"]; $field2 = $row["team"]; $field3 = $row["games"]; $field4 = $row["ave"]; $field5 = $row["slg"]; $field6 = $row["r"]; $field7 = $row["h"]; $field8 = $row["rbi"]; $field9 = $row["bb"]; $field10 = $row["k"]; $field11 = $row["hr"]; $field12 = $row["dbl"]; $field13 = $row["tpl"]; $field14 = $row["sb"]; $field15 = $row["obp"]; $field16 = $row["ops"]; if ($alternate == "1") { $color = "#ffffff"; $alternate = "2"; } else { $color = "#E4E4E4"; $alternate = "1"; } echo "<tr bgcolor=$color><td align='center'>$field1</td><td align='center'>$field2</td><td align='center'>$field3</td><td align='center'>$field4</td><td align='center'>$field5</td><td align='center'>$field6</td><td align='center'>$field7</td><td align='center'>$field8</td><td align='center'>$field9</td><td align='center'>$field10</td><td align='center'>$field11</td><td align='center'>$field12</td><td align='center'>$field13</td><td align='center'>$field14</td><td align='center'>$field15</td><td align='center'>$field16</td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; ?> Thank you in advance!

Hope someone can give me some guidance Heyyzarrh, iv been having troubles trying to make it so my PHP script will echo out the username by corresponding the posters ID with the ID in the members table. Heres what iv got so far: Code: [Select] <?php if ($urlid == "") { } $sql = mysql_query("SELECT members.username, posts.mem_id, posts.post_date, posts.post FROM members JOIN posts ON members.id = posts.mem_id WHERE posts.mem_id='$urlid' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 20"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ echo '<b>' .$row['$username']. ':</b> '.$row['post'].'<br />At: '.$row['post_date'].'<br /><br />'; } ?> Please help!! :S so far only the actual posts data comes out not the username from the table "members"... I'm creating a staff directory that I'd like to use alternating background colors (odd/even) to make it easier to read. All of the information is stored in sql, which I can pull to the page with a repeat function, but I'm not sure how to get the zebra effect to alternate with the output. Is there any easy way to do this? I'm using CSS to change the background of the table itself.
