PHP - Repeat Query

I have this code which checks for the word "Big Ben" and if it's not there it outputs some html. I want t be able to make another statement to also check for the word "London Tower" and if it's not there then to check for the word "Canary Wharf",

So far I've only managed one statement without the code breaking, how do I add the others in as well.

<?php $astacker=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thesite', true); if ( $astacker == [b]'Big Ben'[/b]) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");?>
<?php }else { ?>
<div id="splitter"><div class="clear">
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "linktosource", true);?>">Click Here To View Answers</a> <span style="float:right;"><a href="#related">See Related Questions</a></div></div>
<?php } ?>

Hello, I need help in making my script loop indefinitely. Any ideas?

Hey guys, bascially I'm developing a simple news script, and part of it has a "quick news" section, which will display the latest 3 (or any number I want) news items, each seperated by a line (<hr> in the example below).

What I want to acheive is the top 2 news items have a set LI class assigned to them, and then the 3rd LI in the list to have a different style attached to it (one without a bottom border basically), so it'll bascially repeate out the normal <li> until it hits the last item to be output, at which point it uses a LI with a class attached to it.

What I don't know how to do, is tell the PHP that once it's out putted 2 LI's, then the 3rd LI is to have a different class on it.

eg

Code: [Select]
<li>News Item 1</li>
<li>News Item 2</li>
<li class="last">News Item 3</li>
I'm pretty new to PHP so not sure how to achieve this and would appreicate any help you can offer.

Here's my code so far...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$latestnews_sql = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 3";
$latestnews_query = mysql_query($latestnews_sql) or die (mysql_error());
$list_latestnews = mysql_fetch_assoc ($latestnews_query);
?>
<ul>
<?php do { ?>
<li><p><strong><?php echo $list_latestnews['title']; ?></strong></p>
<?php echo substr($list_latestnews['body'],0,80)."...";?> <a href="news-detail.php?ID=<?php echo $list_latestnews['ID']; ?>">view more</a></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13px; font-style:italic;"><?php echo $list_latestnews['author']; ?> - <?php echo date("l, jS F Y", strtotime($list_latestnews['date'])); ?></span></p>
<hr />
</li>
<?php } while ($list_latestnews = mysql_fetch_assoc ($latestnews_query)) ?>
</ul>

i want to fetch contributors in adding certain articles... so its like

select contributors from table where id=id

the table looks like this.

title                contributor
----------------------------------
art1                me
art2                me
art3                you
art4                me
art5                you

I then need to echo the contributors... what do i do so that it echoes one name only once, no duplicates... thanks. I tried searching google but im not sure about my keywords

I was hard code to make if condition until like seem. But its to hard to write.

if ($lebar == 41) {
                $x = 1;
            } else if ($lebar == 42) {
                $x = 2;
            } else if ($lebar == 43) {
                $x = 3;
            } else if ($lebar == 44) {
                $x = 4;
            } else if ($lebar == 45) {
                $x = 5;
				.....
            } else if ($lebar == 490) {
                $x = 450;
            }

How to make it simple with looping or any clue?

How do you make php code repeat for a certain amount of times. I am only new to php and I am trying to make the code below repeat 6 times instead of repeating all the matching elements in the database. From my other coding experience I would use a for loop but as I am new to php I am not really sure how to implement the for and while loops together. I was trying to add an integer that incremented until it hit 6 and then would exit the while loop but I couldn't get it to work. This is probably a simple problem and any help would be appricated. Thanks.

Code: [Select]

$subject_set = mysql_query("Select * FROM movies WHERE media = 'Movies' ORDER BY dateadded DESC", $connection);

die("Database connection failed: " . mysql_error());
}
        while ($subject = mysql_fetch_array($subject_set)){?>
          <div class="par_element">
            <div class="repeat_horizontal">
              <div class="repeat_hor_picture">

Please Help me guys
     

I am trying to create a order history page.

I want it to look something like this:

Ordernumber:  12
Products:
               Product 1
               Product 2
               Product 3
               Product 4
Total:      xx

Ordernumber:  13
Products: 
               Product 5
               Product 6
Total:      xx

and so on.

I have a recordset which get the ordernumbers from my database
and i have another recordset which get the products (this recordset has a WHERE clause which is used to get the products associated with its ordernumber.

Code: [Select]
    mysql_select_db($database_lol, $lol);
    $query_ono = "SELECT DISTINCT ordre.ono FROM ordre WHERE ordre.bruker='{$_SESSION['MM_Username']}'";
    $ono = mysql_query($query_ono, $lol) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_ono = mysql_fetch_assoc($ono);
    $totalRows_ono = mysql_num_rows($ono);
   
    mysql_select_db($database_lol, $lol);
    $query_history = "SELECT ordre.vare FROM ordre WHERE ordre.ono='{$row_ono['ono']}'";
    $history = mysql_query($query_history, $lol) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_history = mysql_fetch_assoc($history);
    $totalRows_history = mysql_num_rows($history);

This is the recordsets.

this is my table:

+-------+---------------------+------+
| ID      | vare                   | ono  |
+-------+---------------------+------+
|       1 | Product 1           |   12 |
|       2 | Product 2           |   12 |
|       3 | Product 3           |   12 |
|       4 | Product 4           |   12 |
|       5 | Product 5           |   13 |
|       6 | Product 6           |   13 |
+-------+---------------------+------+


So my question is: How do i do this? list all the records i mean.
Thanks

Hello all,   Based on the suggestion of you wonderful folks here, I went away for a few days (to learn about PDO and Prepared Statements) in order to replace the MySQLi commands in my code. That's gone pretty well thus far...with me having learnt and successfully replaced most of my "bad" code with elegant, SQL-Injection-proof code (or so I hope).   The one-and-only problem I'm having (for now at least) is that I'm having trouble understanding how to execute an UPDATE query within the resultset of a SELECT query (using PDO and prepared statements, of course).   Let me explain (my scenario), and since a picture speaks a thousand words I've also inlcuded a screenshot to show you guys my setup:   In my table I have two columns (which are essentially flags i.e. Y/N), one for "items alreay purchased" and the other for "items to be purchased later". The first flag, if/when set ON (Y) will highlight row(s) in red...and the second flag will highlight row(s) in blue (when set ON).   I initially had four buttons, two each for setting the flags/columns to "Y", and another two to reverse the columns/flags to "N". That was when I had my delete functionality as a separate operation on a separate tab/list item, and that was fine.   Now that I've realized I can include both operations (update and delete) on just the one tab, I've also figured it would be better to pare down those four buttons (into just two), and set them up as a toggle feature i.e. if the value is currently "Y" then the button will set it to "N", and vice versa.   So, looking at my attached picture, if a person selects (using the checkboxes) the first four rows and clicks the first button (labeled "Toggle selected items as Purchased/Not Purchased") then the following must happen:   1. The purchased_flag for rows # 2 and 4 must be switched OFF (set to N)...so they will no longer be highlighted in red. 2. The purchased_flag for row # 3 must be switched ON (set to Y)...so that row will now be highlighted in red. 3. Nothing must be done to rows # 1 and 5 since: a) row 5 was not selected/checked to begin with, and b) row # 1 has its purchase_later_flag set ON (to Y), so it must be skipped over.   Looking at my code below, I'm guessing (and here's where I need the help) that there's something wrong in the code within the section that says "/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/". I've probably made it more complex than it should be, and that's due to the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (or rather, how I should be doing it), and this has driven me insane for the last 2 days...which prompted me to "throw in the towel" and seek the help of you very helpful and intellegent folks. BTW, I am a newbie at this, so if I could be provided the exact code, that would be most wonderful, and much highly appreciated.   Thanks to you folks, I'm feeling real good (with a great sense of achievement) after having come here and got the great advice to learn PDO and prepared statements.   Just this one nasty little hurdle is stopping me from getting to "end-of-job" on my very first WebApp. BTW, sorry about the long post...this is the best/only way I could clearly explaing my situation.   Cheers guys!

case "update-delete":
	if(isset($_POST['highlight-purchased'])) 
		{
			// ****** Setup customized query to obtain only items that are checked ******
			$sql = "SELECT * FROM shoplist WHERE";
					for($i=0; $i < count($_POST['checkboxes']); $i++)
						{
							$sql=$sql . " idnumber=" . $_POST['checkboxes'][$i] . " or";
						}
					$sql= rtrim($sql, "or");
											
			$statement = $conn->prepare($sql);
			$statement->execute();
																						
			// *** fetch results for all checked items (1st query) *** //
			$result = $statement->fetchAll();

			$statement->closeCursor();
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "N", if it's currently set to "Y"
			$sqlSetToN = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'N' WHERE purchased = 'Y'";
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "Y", if it's currently set to "N", "", or NULL
			$sqlSetToY = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'Y' WHERE purchased = 'N' OR purchased = '' OR purchased IS NULL";

			$statementSetToN = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToN);
			$statementSetToY = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToY);
											
			/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/
			foreach($result as $row)
				{
					if ($row["purchased"] != "Y")
						{
							// *** fetch one row at a time pertaining to the 2nd query *** //
							$resultSetToY = $statementSetToY->fetch();
															
							foreach($resultSetToY as $row)
								{															
									$statementSetToY->execute();																
								}
						}
					else
						{
							// *** fetch one row at a time pertaining to the 2nd query *** //
							$resultSetToN = $statementSetToN->fetch();
															
							foreach($resultSetToN as $row)
								{															
									$statementSetToN->execute();																
								}
						}
				}
				break;

Here is my code:
// Start MySQL Query for Records
$query = "SELECT codes_update_no_join_1b" .
"SET orig_code_1 = new_code_1,
       orig_code_2 = new_code_2" .
"WHERE concat(orig_code_1, orig_code_2) = concat(old_code_1, old_code_2)";
$results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// End MySQL Query for Records


This query runs perfectly fine when run direct as SQL in phpMyAdmin, but throws this error when running in my script??? Why is this???

Code: [Select]
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '= new_code_1, orig_code_2 = new_code_2WHERE concat(orig_code_1, orig_c' at line 1

If you also have any feedback on my code, please do tell me. I wish to improve my coding base.

Basically when you fill out the register form, it will check for data, then execute the insert query. But for some reason, the query will NOT insert into the database. In the following code below, I left out the field ID. Doesn't work with it anyways, and I'm not sure it makes a difference.

Code:

  Code: [Select]
mysql_query("INSERT INTO servers (username, password, name, type, description, ip, votes, beta) VALUES ($username, $password, $name, $server_type, $description, $ip, 0, 1)");

Say I have this query:

site.com?var=1

..I have a form with 'var2' field which submits via get.

Is there a way to produce:

site.com?var=1&var2=formdata

I was hoping there would be a quick way to affix, but can't find any info. Also, the query could sometimes be:

site.com?var2=formdata&var=1

I would have to produce:

site.com?var2=updatedformdata&var=1

Is my only option to further parse the query?

I was just wondering if it's possible to run a query on data that has been returned from a previous query?  For example, if I do

Code: [Select]
$sql = 'My query';
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $mysql_conn);

Is it then possible to run a second query on this data such as

Code: [Select]
$sql = 'My query';
$secondrs = mysql_query($sql, $rs, $mysql_conn);

Thanks for any help

I'm trying to update every record where one field in a row is less than the other. The code gets each row i'm looking for and sets up the query right, I hope I combined the entire query into one string each query seperated by a ; so it's like
UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '1';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '2';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '3';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '4';UPDATE `table` SET field2= '1' WHERE field1= '5';
this executes properly if i run the query in phpMyAdmin, however when I run the query in PHP, it does nothing... Any advice?
