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 Similar Tutorialshi, I have created a login page this is my code <?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="root"; // Mysql username $password=""; // Mysql password $db_name="Marketing"; // Database name $tbl_name="Marketinglogin"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $myusername=$_POST['myusername']; $mypassword=$_POST['mypassword']; // To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection) $myusername = stripslashes($myusername); $mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword); $myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername); $mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword); $sql="SELECT * FROM Marketinglogin WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php" session_register("myusername"); session_register("mypassword"); if ($myusername == "sandeep") { header("location:Marketingadmin.php"); } else { header("location:Marketingemployeeform.php"); } } else { echo "wrong password"; } ?> Marketingemployee form has some fields..here when we click submit button all the fields as well as the loginusername has to be stored in the database <?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root", ""); if (!$con) {die('Could not connect to DB: ' . mysql_error() );} mysql_select_db ("Marketing", $con); $date = $_POST['year'].$_POST['month'].$_POST['dt'] ; $_SESSION['myusername']=$_POST['myusername']; $myusername=$_SESSION['myusername']; $sql="INSERT INTO Marketingemployeetable (Employeeid, Date,Sector,Place,Contactpersonname,Contactaddress,Mobileno)VALUES ( '$myusername','$date','$_POST[project]','$_POST[place]','$_POST[Contactpersonname]','$_POST[Contactaddress]','$_POST[Mobileno]')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) {die ('Error: ' . mysql_error());} echo "Record added"; mysql_close($con)?> please help me out here 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. To me it is logical to store config data such as site name, meta, etc in a php file rather than storing ina table in mysql database. 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? Hello,
I have a table with these columns (database)

{"1":{"id":1,"username":"jeremia"},"2":{"id":2,"username":"Ernest"}} Edited March 24 by mahenda Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <tr> <td>'.$row["id"].'</td> '; while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <td>'.$row1["email"].'</td> '; } if($row["validity"] == 1) { echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>'; }else{ echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>'; } echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td> <td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td> </tr>'; } ?>
Thank you. Hello everyone,
i'm Osiris and i'm stuck with this PHP/HTML code, i'm fairly new at this so this might be a dumb question.
i have a database, but i want to output all data into a table from the database using HTML codes.
i had it so far that i could outpust the info in just plain text but it doesn't output in the HTML table.
Can anyone see what i did wrong?
This is my PHP code its in the body section

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 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. 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?? 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']; } 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
