PHP - Trouble Selecting Entries From Mysql Database - Php

Code: [Select]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT a.*, b.*
         FROM friendlist a
INNER JOIN friendlist b
ON (a.friendemail=b.friendemail)
INNER JOIN users c
ON (b.friendemail = c.EmailAddress)
WHERE a.email = 'asdf@gmail.com'
AND c.Username LIKE '%carol%'
GROUP BY a.id
ORDER BY count(*) DESC");
Code: [Select]
while ($showfriends = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
     echo $showfriends['Username'];
}
and I would get nothing. It produces the correct number of <div> so i know it's getting through, but it's having trouble displaying the entries?

Hello,

For starters I'm not sure if what I want to do is possible, but if it is I would like your input. I have a script that will show a number of fields to fill out in a second form based on the number the user puts into the first from. the problem is that only the last one saves into the database and not all of them.

Code: [Select]
<form auction="index.php" method="post">
System Name: <input type="text" name="systemname">
Number of E-sites: <input type="text" name="events">
Number of Sigs: <input type="text" name="sigs"><br>
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
<input type="submit" name="start" value="Start">
</form>
<form auction="index.php" method="post">
<?php
$events = $_POST['events'];
$system = $POST['systemname'];

if (isset($_POST['start'])) {
$num = $_POST['sigs'];
$i = 0;
While ($i < $num)
{
echo "Sig ID: <input type=text name=sigid>";
echo "Type: <input type=text name=type>";
echo "Name: <input type=text name=name>";
echo "Notes: <input type=text name=notes>";
echo "<br>";
$i++;
}
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="enter" value="Enter">
</form>
<?php
$sigid = $_POST['sigid'];
$type = $_POST['type'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
mysql_connect('xt', 'x', 'x');
mysql_select_db('wormhole');
if (isset($_POST['enter'])) {

$query = "INSERT INTO sites VALUES ('$system','$events','$sigid','$type','$name','$notes')";
mysql_query($query);

}
?>
How do I get it so all the data saves, lets say that $num = 5, I want all 5 to save not just the last one.

Hello...
I have a .txt database with ~100 records.  I only want to show the 15 records that are at the top (referring to reading order of the file).
Here is my php code to display the records.
http://www.flcbranson.org/mobile.php?content=mobile-freedownloads.php if you want to see the results of the code, below.
Code: [Select]
<?php
$index_file = 'services/series/Index-Date.txt';
$fd = fopen($index_file, 'r');
if ($fd) {
        while (!feof ($fd)) {
                $seriestitle = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // Series Title
                if(feof ($fd))
                break;
                $seriessubtitle = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // Series subtitle
                $seriesinfo  = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // Series Info (Church name)
                $serieslocation = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // City, State
                $seriesindex = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // Series index file
                $seriesstatus = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); //Online Only?
                $divider     = trim(fgets($fd, 1024)); // Divider
                $seriestitle2 = $seriestitle;
                $seriestitle3 = str_replace("'", "%27", $seriestitle); // Kind of makes the alt= below work "God's Will" ends up being "God%27s Will" but without is "God"
                if(strstr($seriestitle,"<")) {
                        $seriestitle2 = strip_tags($seriestitle);
                }
                $seriestitle2 = urlencode($seriestitle2);
                if(file_exists("images/ProductCovers/".substr($seriesindex,0,-4).".jpg")) {
                        echo "<img src='images/ProductCovers/".substr($seriesindex,0,-4).".jpg' width='115' height='150' border='0' alt='".substr($seriestitle3,7)."'><br />";
                }
        }
        fclose ($fd);
}
?>
I'm assuming that "for" would do the trick, but when I tried I got 10 copies of every record.
Hehehe...
I'm guessing that it's a quick fix.
Thanks...

Is there any other way of getting PHP form data into C# any other way besides calling  

www.downloadHandler.text

I am having issues  bringing all the entries into C# and breaking them all up.  I can do one row fine but multiple rows isn't working.  I keep getting an out range error.

This is my PHP echo

echo $row['userName']. '|' .$row['level']. '|' .$row['points']. '|' .$row['killRate']. '/';

And this is my C# code

                string nothing = "Not Placed";
                string Data_string = www.downloadHandler.text;
                string[] DataArray;
                DataArray = Data_string.Split('/');

                int numberOfEntries = DataArray.Length;
                Debug.Log(numberOfEntries);

                if (DataArray[0] == null || numberOfEntries == 1)
                {
                    DataArray[0] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [0] isn't there");
                    High_Points_1.text = DataArray[0];

                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_1.text = DataArray[0];
                    //Debug.Log(DataArray.Length);
                }
                if (DataArray[1] == null || numberOfEntries == 2)
                {
                    DataArray[1] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [1] isn't there");
                    High_Points_2.text = DataArray[1];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_2.text = DataArray[1];
                    //Debug.Log(DataArray.Length);
                }
                if (DataArray[2] == null || numberOfEntries == 3)
                {
                    DataArray[2] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [2] isn't there");
                    High_Points_3.text = DataArray[2];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_3.text = DataArray[2];
                }
                if (DataArray[3] == null || numberOfEntries == 4)
                {
                    DataArray[3] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [3] isn't there");
                    High_Points_4.text = DataArray[3];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_4.text = DataArray[3];
                }
                if (DataArray[4] == null || numberOfEntries == 5)
                {
                    DataArray[4] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [4] isn't there");
                    High_Points_5.text = DataArray[4];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_5.text = DataArray[4];
                }

I have two entries in the database.  But when I debugged the number int he array I get 3 strings.

I want to show the top five entries in the database.

I am quite new so I am sure this is an easy fix for some of the experts around here.

I am using the canned script below to add urls to the database as text.  The problem is if you update one of the form text boxes it loads all the urls into the database again resulting in a lot of duplicates.

My question is, How do I get the form to only post the new changes and not re-post the existing urls?


<?php
session_start();

   if(isset($_SESSION['userSession']) && !empty($_SESSION['userSession']))
   {
        include_once("dbc.php");

        if($_POST)
        {
            $c = 0;
            
            $errMssg = "";

            for($i=0;$i<count($_POST['url']);$i++)
            {
                if($_POST['url'][$i]=="")
                {
                    $c++;
                }
            }
            if($c==5)
            {
                $errMssg = "Submission error . Please fill at least 1 url.";
            }
            else
            {
                for($j=0;$j<count($_POST['url']);$j++)
                {
                    if(!empty($_POST['url'][$j]))
                    {
                        $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (id ,url ,user_id)VALUES (NULL , '".$_POST['url'][$j]."',".$_SESSION['userId'].")");    

                     }
                                    
                }
                
            }
        }    

        
        

        $sqlresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images WHERE user_id =".$_SESSION['userId']);
        
        $count = 0;
            
        while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sqlresult))
        {
            $image[$count] = $data['url'];

            $count++;

        }
         
?>

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')");
}

Hello,

I am using the following code to display images managed by a MySQL database.  Basically another program manages a bunch of images, but this script displays certain ones (ones with INCLUDE = 1 in the database) on my main page.  My question is, is there an easy way to limit the number of images it displays, say to 5?  I'm not too concerned which images actually display (ascending or descending)... or better yet, random!  Most importantly, I only want five to display.  Each image will be linked to the full page, which displays all the images.

Any ideas?

Thanks!


Code: [Select]
<?php
$username="XXXXXXX";
$password="XXXXXXX";
$database="XXXXXXX";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM ft_form_12 WHERE col_24='1'";
// $query="SELECT * FROM ft_form_12";
// SELECT * FROM ft_form_12 WHERE col_24='1'
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();
?>

<?php
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$f20=mysql_result($result,$i,"col_23"); //Photo file name
$f21=mysql_result($result,$i,"col_24"); //INCLUDE
?>

<a href="http://www.domain.com/display_whole_page.shtml"><img src="http://www.domain.com/the_file/pictures/<?php echo $f20; ?>" height="50" border="0"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I coded the following but some parts are not working (the "curveball" mentioned at the end).
How would YOU do this?

I have a page (A) displaying a form with a textarea field using a WYSIWYG interface.
The user will enter a list of unordered items and upon submit the string will look something like this:

This is my list of food items:
 <ul>
  <li> Lettuce </li>
  <li> Tomatoes </li>
  <li> Eggs </li>
 <ul>




Upon submit, I need to give each list item an unique id and store this id along with the text next to it in a separate table:

List_item_id   List_item_text  List_item_state
food_1             Lettuce
food_2             Tomatoes
food_3             Eggs





The user will then land in another page with a form displaying the list. The text is now in the page itself and not in a textarea.
Instead of the bullets a dropdown list appears, and the user can select "buy" or "sell" for each list item. 
This page (B) looks something like this:

<form>
This is my list of food items:
  <br><select name="food_1">
   <option value="buy">Buy</option>
   <option value="sell">Sell</option>
  </select>
  Lettuce

  <br><select name="food_2">
   <option value="buy">Buy</option>
   <option value="sell">Sell</option>
  </select>
  Tomatoes

  <br><select name="food_2">
   <option value="buy">Buy</option>
   <option value="sell">Sell</option>
  </select>
  Eggs

<input type=submit value="submit">
</form>




When the user hits "submit" the table with the list items will be updated with the values selected in the dropdown list:

List_item_id   List_item_text  List_item_state
food_1             Lettuce        Buy
food_2             Tomatoes       Buy
food_3             Eggs           Sell



The next time the user goes to Page B the list will remember the states.


Here's the curveball: At any point the user may click on "EDIT LIST" on Page B so they may add more items (at the begining, middle or end of the string). On edit mode the list items should appear as bullets again inside the WYSIWYG interface.

Keep in mind that some of the text in the string may not be a list item (ie, "this is my list of food...")

Im trying to create a website where users login, and then when they add a new entry to the database there name is put as the author. This is how my tables are set up. One table is named job and has the columns id, jobtext, jobdate, and authorid. Another table is called author. This table contains the columns id, username, password, and name. Authorid from the job table matches with id from the author table. When a user logins in this code is used to register the name...session_start();
$_SESSION['myusername'] = $_POST['myusername'];
$_SESSION['mypassword'] = $_POST['mypassword'];
header("location: index.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}

This is the form users use to add a new entry...

Right now, under authors, it displays all the authors in the database. I want it to just show/submit the authorid of the logged in user.

Maybe some of the great coders here can help this noob out.
So here is what I have so far:

Code: [Select]
//set age criteria for deletion
$age = 60;

//get current date
$datenow  = date("Y-m-d");

//set the range we want to delete
$delete_range = $datenow - $age;

//get old user_id from users table
$oldusers_users = mysql_query ("SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE lastvisit < $delete_range ");

//get user_id from images table that correspond to users table
$oldusers_images = mysql_query ("SELECT user_id FROM images WHERE $oldusers_users=user_id.images ");

//find folders that correspond to the usernames and delete
$oldusers_files = mysql_query ("SELECT username FROM users WHERE lastvisit < $delete_range ");
//print out username
//$result = mysql_($oldusers_files);
$foldername = mysql_result($oldusers_files, 0);

$sigspath = "sigs/";
unlink($sigspath . $foldername . ".gif/index.php");
rmdir($sigspath . $foldername . ".gif");
//now delete user_id's from database
mysql_query("DELETE * FROM users WHERE user_id=$oldusers_users");
mysql_query("DELETE * FROM images WHERE user_id=$oldusers_images");
unset($oldusers_users, $oldusers_images, $oldusers_files, $foldername, $sigspath );
mysql_close($link);
Right now it is only returning the first entry, not the entire list that meets the criteria.  It does delete that one file though but does not remover the rows from the database.

I am sure the database stuff is jacked up I am really new to that part.  What am I doing wrong here or is there a better way to do this perhaps

Hey freaks!

I have a problem, i can't figure out how to recieve one single string from the database, i tried alot of things.

Code: [Select]
public function getpass($name){
    $q = sprintf("SELECT password FROM database WHERE name='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($name));
    $result = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

    // And here i tried every single way to fetch the data. Wich one should i use when its only one slot in a row i need?

I hope you can help me!

Hey guys im making a blog and when i make a post it automatically takes the date and created an archive based on what ever i have in the database (date wise) anyways it works almost fine but if i make a date in the same month it duplicates like so:

October 2010
October 2010
November 2010

Is there away where i can limit October by 1 but when i come to make a post next year it will still display like so:

October 2010
November 2010
December 2010
January 2011
...
October 2011

If i show you the code might make more sense haha::


public function create_archive()
{
// Loop through the database grabbing all the dates::
$sql = "SELECT blog_date
FROM subarc_blog";

$stmt = $this->conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($date);

$rows = array();

while($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
$date = explode("-",$date);
$month = date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$date['1']));
$year = $date[0];

$item = array(
'blog_month' => $month,
'blog_year' => $year
);
$rows[] = $item;
}
$stmt->close();
return $rows;
}



and the sidebar looks like so::


<ul class="sidebar">
<?php
$result = $Database->create_archive();
foreach($result as $row) : 
?>
<li><a href=""><?php echo $row['blog_month'] . " " . $row['blog_year']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>


Hope someone can help!

I can't figure out how to select something from the database that is under today's date. This is what I have:

if($row['date'] == ".date('Y-m-d').' 00:00:00'."' AND date < '".date('Y-m-d').' 23:59:59'.")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only 2 tables relevant to what I want to do are "User" and "Scores." Basically this database holds high scores for a project I've been working on. I only want to display 10 scores, all from different users. No 2 or more scores from the same user. This is my db structure within phpmyadmin:

Quote

database -> table -> X / User / Score / X / X / X / X / X / X / X / X


If possible I'd like to run a query where it checks for duplicate entries by the same user and only show the highest score. The current query I'm running is below:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY Score DESC LIMIT 0, 10");

Is this possible? I can only seem to find information regarding the INSERT IGNORE clause and that obviously won't help me as the users and scores are already in the database. Thanks.

Hello,

i am inserting some form data into my mysql db, i happen to get some duplicates so i want to check first if the entry exists already before i insert.

my current code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))  { ?>
<?php 
if (strlen($_POST['code']) == 19 && substr($_POST['code'],0,7) == '5541258')  { 
     mysql_query("INSERT INTO table(code,secret,ip,date) VALUES('$_POST[code]','$_POST[secret]','$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]',CURDATE())");
Print "<font color='green'>The code will be checked now</font>"; 
} else { 
    
Print "<font color='red'>The code is invalid</font>"; 
}
?><?php } ?>
I would like to use the value 'code' to check if the entry exists, that one is unique for each entry. How would i do that ?

Thanks !
