PHP - Insert-into-select With Concatenated Variables

Hi,

I would like to do the following in PHP using a MySQL database, but not sure how.

select a, b,c etc.. from mailbox where id = X
then
insert id,a,b,c etc.. into problem

When I select, I will be calling the id

So I would like it to get data from mailbox and then insert it into problem.
How would I go about doing this?

Thanks for any help you can give me

Hi,   I'm really at a loss here.   I have queried a table to get an option list, which returns what I expect but I need to then add it to some current code instead of the fixed option list presented. The syntax is beyond me.     Please see attached. Any pointers would be great.         Attached Files  OptionList.txt   1.61KB   7 downloads

here i am again...

so i have this algorithm that computes the current academic year for our school..
it outputs the correct academic year on a browser..
but when i try to insert it into my database, the data inserted goes wrong..

it just keeps on inserting -1 instead of the string 2011-2012

here's my code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

 $year = date('Y');
 $currentyear = $year;
 $lastyear = $year - 1;
 $nextyear = $year + 1;
 
 if (date('m') < 6)
 {
 $current_ay = $lastyear."-".$currentyear;
 }
 else
 if (date('m') >= 6)
 {
 $current_ay = $currentyear."-".$nextyear;
 }
 
 echo $current_ay;
  $insertSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_elections (election_id) values ($current_ay)";

  mysql_select_db($database_organizazone_db, $organizazone_db);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $organizazone_db) or die(mysql_error());

?>

*the database column to be inserted into is of varchar data type

First page adds a new job number, then the order page loaded with the job number id as a get id. Basically there is a while loop in the order page which shows products/services client can order and he chooses what he requires 'one or eight services' (8 in total) and some other variables like date of order and client name etc. Here is the order item code

The first sql statement executes fine, but in the second sql query nothing happens


$sql="insert into job_order(order_num,order_date,order_customer_id, order_remarks) values(".$_GET['id'].",NOW(),".$_POST['companyBox'].",'".$_POST['remarkBox']."');"; $res=mysql_query($sql);  $id=mysql_insert_id();   foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {          if(!empty($value)) {           $key.' => '.trim(strip_tags($value));            $order="INSERT INTO orderprod (order_num,prod_id,order_amount,teeth_amount) VALUES ('$_GET[id]','$value','$value','$value');"; $orderres=mysql_query($order) or die(mysql_error()); } }?>$sql="insert into job_order(order_num,order_date,order_customer_id,
order_remarks)
values(".$_GET['id'].",NOW(),".$_POST['companyBox'].",'".$_POST['remarkBox']."');";
$res=mysql_query($sql);

$id=mysql_insert_id();


foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {


        if(!empty($value)) { 
 
         $key.' => '.trim(strip_tags($value));  
     
         $order="INSERT INTO orderprod (order_num,prod_id,order_amount,teeth_amount) VALUES
('$_GET[id]','$value','$value','$value');";
$orderres=mysql_query($order) or die(mysql_error());
}
}
?>



=============

This is the formI have removed parts which are irrelevant. Please note that dateBox and companyBox are not required to be looping as they are only for first table,

I have tried several attempts and can get data to select and using echo display it, however, I need to take this data and insert it into the database in a separate table.   I have the following which does hafl the job, can I get some pointers on the rest.  I have looked everywhere and not found a solution, at all.


// Selects the data I need
<?php
mysql_connect("PRIVATE INFO","PRIVATE INFO","PRIVATE INFO") or
    die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("wpdb");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT ID FROM wp_posts

WHERE post_title LIKE '%future%'
AND post_status = 'publish'
OR post_title LIKE '%option%'
AND post_content LIKE '%fundamental%'
AND post_status = 'publish'

   ORDER BY post_date DESC");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{   echo $row['ID'];
   echo "<br />";};

?>



Thought maybe something like the following would work, but am at a loss:
INSERT INTO wp_term_relationships (object_id, term_taxonomy_id, term_order)
       SELECT ID FROM wp_posts

            WHERE post_title LIKE '%future%'
            AND post_status = 'publish'
            OR post_title LIKE '%option%'
            AND post_content LIKE '%fundamental%'
            AND post_status = 'publish'

            ORDER BY post_date DESC

            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))

VALUES
($row['ID'], '25', '0')

Well, I made this yesterday then realised, I need to check is it exists...
I got this but when I go to accept the application and the member exists in the table it enters it anyway...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$member=$_POST['memberid'];
$status=$_POST['Status'];

$con = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("a2186214_hbclan",$con);
$sql="UPDATE application SET Status = '$status' WHERE ID = '$member'";
$sql1="INSERT INTO table_members(name) SELECT application.Name FROM application WHERE application.ID = '$member'";
if ($status == 'ACCEPTED')
{
if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT name FROM table_members WHERE name = '$member'")))
{
if(mysql_query($sql, $con) or die(mysql_error()))
{
echo 'Status Changed.<br /><a href="../applications.php">Return To Members List</a>';
}
else
{
die('Could not submit: ' . mysql_error());
}
}
else
{
if(mysql_query($sql, $con) or die(mysql_error()))
{
if(mysql_query($sql1, $con) or die(mysql_error()))
{
echo 'Status Changed.<br /><a href="../applications.php">Return To Members List</a>';
}
}
else
{
die('Could not submit: ' . mysql_error());
}
}
}
else
{
if(mysql_query($sql, $con) or die(mysql_error()))
{
echo 'Status Changed.<br /><a href="../applications.php">Return To Members List</a>';
}
else
{
die('Could not submit: ' . mysql_error());
}
}
mysql_close($con);

?>

$var = @$_GET['q'] ;
$trimmed = trim($var);
$table = @$_GET['field'];
$query="SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE @'table' contains @'trimmed' order by id";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);


Why wont this work?

What I'm wanting to do is pass the $propertyid = "1";  threw my select value as you can see. so it passes variable so to speak.'



Code: [Select]
print "<td>Control:<form action=\"dashboard.php\" method=\"GET\" target=\"_self\">
        <select name=\"control\" onChange=\"this.form.submit()\">
        <option selected></option>
        <option>Take a Payment</option>
        <option>Print Ledger </option>
        <option>-----------------</option>
        <option value=\"comadd?propid=$propertyid\">Add Communication</option>
        <option>----------------</option>
        <option>Modify Property</option>
        <option>Remote Property</option>
        </select></td>";

I am simply trying to insert a value generated from an array in a while loop, but it seems the value is not global and I can't pass it as I like. I did some research on this, but could not find an answer that solved my issue...

Here is my select box code which is working perfect:

<select name="city">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT id, city_name FROM cities ".
"ORDER BY city_name";
$results_set = (mysqli_query($cxn, $sql)) or die("Was not able to produce the result set!");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results_set)) {
echo "<option value=$row[id]>$row[city_name]</option>";
}
?>
</select>

Are any variables defined in a while loop global to the while loop only?

Here is my SQL which you can see my $row[id] being passed thru field city_id... The value is being generated as supposed to based on value like: value="1", value="2" etc.. for the select options for each city name. So the values are there... But I CANNOT get that numerical id to pass to the database when submitting my form.

Any ideas for a workaround to get this value passing as normal?

if (isset($_POST['addPosting'])) {
      $query = "INSERT INTO Postings (id, city_id, title, description) VALUES
('','$row[id]','$_POST[title]','$_POST[description]')";

could anyone please help me with the code which is i have already displayed data as a multi select list but now i need to select one or more from them and insert into another database table. would be appreciate your help. thanx

Say I have two variables like below. I basically want to select one of them, but through random choice. How do I do that?

$orange = 'Orange';
$apple = 'Apple';

 

Code: [Select]
$query  = "SELECT content FROM license WHERE serial  = '".$serial."'";

I'm not sure if this is possible   Previously I had a problem of outputting rows of a specific query   This was the solution that was given to me

$txt .= $date . " " . $stratoparse . "\n\n";

Where a while loop's results were concatenated to a single string   What I would like to do is output the results in individual containers with controls such as dragging for repositioning / an x for deletion   That's not what I'm here for in this post   I want to embed youtube videos, so they are not just stored as links, rather a clickable video   so if you have something like string.string2.string3.string4.string5.<iframe src="youtube"...>.string7.string8   how would that video be isolated and parsed / understood as a front end youtube video ?   To provide a brief background in case you are wondering why in my right mind, I would want to do this...   First it is the primary solution that comes to mind going off what already works   Secondly, the purpose or point of the concatenated string comes from the "application" design which is a store and recall interface.   Vague, I know. The website has multiple users and they all have access to a single database. They save random strings, whether they are paragraphs or links, possibly videos that are uploaded, etc... these are saved by a keyphrase, later recalled by searching that keyphrase.   Currently the output is nothing more than a concatenated string, that was fine initially but some of my friends have been testing the website and they made suggestions which are good such as repositioning and deleting entries. Now I want to automatically parse youtube links into embedded videos...   I'll probably use that explode "function" to disect the link and place the url within the src=" "   Anyway, I have to look into this but if anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I have this php code, which connects to a mysql database (through dbconnect.php) and is meant to select the lowest difference between two variables. I can't get very far. The most valuable differences are not the lowest per se, as much as the closest to 0, either positive or negative. Both numbers are positive integers. The page dictates the relative 'ranking' of the page, by multiplying the rank by 20, so that with each successive page, the retrospective line is 20 higher in ranking. The section 20*$page+x is not a value, but a ranking, so the instance would by, in words 'select the lowest difference between two numbers. If the number closest to 0 cannot be selected, can we find the highest value out of the two variables and subtract the lower (they are interchangeable)
Code: [Select]
<?php
 $page = $_GET['page'];
 include("dbc.php") //connect to mysql database
 $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts {WHERE (ROW1-ROW2) = 20*$page +1}"); // { indicates my unsure section
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
 $id = $row['id'];
 $username = $row['id'];
 $sum1 = $row['id'];
 $sum2 = $row['id'];
}
 $result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts {WHERE (ROW1-ROW2) = 20*$page +2}"); // { indicates my unsure section
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1)){
 $id2 = $row['id'];
 $username2 = $row['id'];
 $2sum1 = $row['id'];
 $2sum2 = $row['id'];
}
//this continues with the mysql $page+x increasing successively 
?>
Also, could we apply a formula that would increase the weighting of those with a higher sum.

Thanks a lot, this is really over my head

Jack

Not sure why this isnt working.
