Table Issue - Multiple Location Values For User Pushes Values Out Of Row Instead Of Wrapping In Cell
Hi People i'm a newb at this so bare with me but i currently have a php file called Newkpi.php which has a select statement in. this selects data from a table called "StaffList". this then populates the page with a html table with 14 records (this will increase/decrease over time) i then have some extra text boxes to enter more detail into like service amaount service date and so on. when i click the submit button i want it to cycle through each row and insert the data into a separate table called "Services". however i cannot for the life of me get this to work and need some help with it. people find attached the code for Newkpi and see if you can help me with this. in total i want it to take the names from stafflist and populate Services with the names and the extra detail which is entered on the page Much Thanx in advance SLOWIE So first of all, I have a confession, I used Dreamweaver to take care of all my database work. Pheww. Now that I got that of my chest, I am having problems, not only with my lack of experience working with databases, but with my script also. I need to insert multiple checkbox values into my database into the same cell. So I have searched around and I thought I had found a fairly good approach, but with Dw's hodgepodge of overcomplicated mess, I am finding problems integrating it. The error I am getting post submission is "Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\gov\ballot.php on line 10 Column 'involvement' cannot be null" So if you would, could you debug my script and give me some instruction along to way so that I can learn a little something too? Here is my script: <?php require_once('Connections/ballot.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ?

So here is the basic scheme: id l column1 1 l 1 2 l 2 3 l 3 Second table id l variable1 1 l 3 2 l 5 3 l 6 I basically want to add 5+3+6 and set it to a variable named '$total'. Would this be done using while loops? Here is the code I have been messing with. $sql="SELECT column1 from table1 where id='$userid'"; // userid would be set near the top of the page $sql2=mysql_query($sql,$conn); while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($sql2)){ $getid = $rows['column1']; $sql3="SELECT variable1 FROM table2 where id='$getid'"; $sql4=mysql_query($sql3,$conn); while($items=mysql_fetch_array($sql4)){ // Then I'm getting lost... } } Can you at least see what I am trying to do? I'm not even sure if this is the right approach, any help would be appreciated! I have posted one set of values into my database and it worked fine but when i input another set they wont go inside unless i changes the value of the primary index colum. I want to be able to insert a new values regardless of the primary index value. Any idears...? Hello there,
I'm really new at PHP and I've been reading several beginner tutorials so please accept my apologies for any stupid questions I may ask along the way.
I've gotten as far as installing XAMPP, set up a database plus PHP form and I'm struggling to figure out how to insert values from an array into my database.
I've learnt the code in one particular way (see beginner tutorials) so I was wondering if you could help me keeping this in mind. I know there'll be a million better ways to do what I'm doing but I fear I will be bamboozled with different code or differently structured code.
Anyway the tutuorials I'm reading don't see to cover how I can insert an array of values into my database, just singular values.
In the attached file, I have 10 rows of 2x text inputs (20 text inputs total). Each row allows the user to enter a CarID and CarTitle. I've commented out the jQuery which validates the inputs so I can build a rudimentary version of this validation with PHP.
I thought that because the line $sql="INSERT INTO carids_cartitles (CarID, CarTitle) VALUES ($id, $title)"; is inside the foreach, means that for each pair of values from the form it'd insert to the database.
It doesn't do this. If I enter two or more CarIDs and CarTitles, only one pair of values gets saved to the database.
I'm sorry if I haven't explained this well enough, any questions please let me know.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for any advice I'm planning on storing RIPEMD-160 passphrase hash's raw binary data in MySQL as BINARY(20). Right now, I'm not sure if one of the following INSERT approach is more preferrable and more efficient: Approach (1) - Using mysqli::real_escape_string() ================================================= Code: [Select] $binhash = $mysqli->real_escape_string(hash('ripemd160', $passphrase, true)); $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO testtbl (Passphrase) VALUES ('" . $binhash . "')"); This approach saves hash() from converting raw binary data to hexadecimal format, but need to process and escape the binary string. Approach (2) - Using UNHEX() on MySQL ===================================== Code: [Select] $hexhash = hash('ripemd160', $passphrase); $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO testtbl (Passphrase) values (UNHEX('" . $hexhash . "'))"); This approach needs hash() to convert binary data to hexadecimal but no need for escaping the string and it put extra load on MySQL to convert the hexadecimal back to binary. Here is one of those purely conceptual questions, which involves no code. I'm trying to create a select query which among other things, allows a user of a website to search other members who fall within a particular age range. I have a column in the table where the members' information are stored which records their ages. Which brings us to the problem. On any given day, a member's age may increase by one year compared to what it was the previous day, hence the need to update this column periodically. I can't think of any way to automatically update this column on a daily basis. So my solution is to run an initial update query every time a member tries to search other members based on age, which updates the age column for all other members, before running the select query which eventually retrieves the desired age range. This leads to the second problem. Imagine there are thousands of users using the website. At any given instance, there could be hundreds of members, trying to search others based on age. This means hundreds of users will be updating a single column (the age column) in one table at the same time. Is this feasible? Can it cause the server to crash? Or is there really a more reasonable way to do all of this? Thank you all for taking your time to read this. Appreciate any responses. hi all please help... i would like to get datas between certain intervals. please have a look @ db_table.jpg, it's the db structure. the red highlighted part is the value i need. condition is select values when both device one & device two are off. db_table_report.jpg is the resulting report format. It contains start time & end time and the duration.. please help, i know it's a bit complicated, but it's urgent. Apologies... I'm a noob trying to reverse engineer code. I have a script that can retrieve values from a MySQL database (based on a session login that recognizes which user you are) and places those values into the text fields of a form, pre-populating the form. Code: [Select] <?php mysql_connect('localhost', 'db', 'password'); mysql_select_db('users'); $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['userid']); $select = "SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE md5(Member_No) = '$id';"; $query = mysql_query($select); if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { ?> <form> FIRST name: <input type="text" name="First" value="<?php echo stripslashes($row['First']); ?>" LAST name: <input type="text" name="Last" value="<?php echo stripslashes($row['Last']); ?>" > Birthday: <input type="text" name="Birthday" value="<?php echo stripslashes($row['Birthday']); ?>" <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php } ?> I want to be able to connect to that same database and update ALL the values (3 in the example above) with the single click of the form button. I think I was told some time ago that it's not possible to update all the values at once? Thanks, ~Wayne This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=313325.0 Hi, My company has 240+ locations and as such some users (general managers) cover multiple sites. When I run a query to pull user information, when the user has multiple sites to his or her name, its adds the second / third sites to the next columns, rather than wrapping it inside the same table cell. It also works the opposite way, if a piece of data is missing in the database and is blank, its pull the following columns in. Both cases mess up the table and formatting. I'm extremely new to any kind of programming and maybe this isn't the forum for this question but figured I'd give it a chance since I'm stuck.

Hey guys, I am kind of new to php but I am stuck on this question. I have a mySQL database and table set up called members. I have some data in the table and I want to be able to add certain things to a paticular row in the table based off the ID number of the row. One of the values of the table is an auto incremeted ID number. I want to add a text value called message to a specified ID number. How do I go about doing that. I have this code already but it doesn't seem to work. Code: [Select] $sql = "INSERT INTO members (message) VALUES ('$_POST[message]',(SELECT id FROM members WHERE id='$_POST[id]'))"; Any Ideas? Thanks Hi guys, I am building a website with basic e-commerce functionality, using php and using xampp to test it. I am having issues when attempting to submit a quantity (into table orders) using a form and validating it against an existing value (from table products), giving a response on whether there is sufficient quantity in the second table. I am then, in another page (same one performing the validations), attempting to then show a result based on the initial quantity entered, with a summary of the order details and calculation of the quantity * price to display a total as well. This has all been built from scratch, however I may have taken the wrong approach for these two pages... any assistance or insight as to where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated. Here is the page I have placed the products, existing quantity and a text field they are able to enter their desired quantity: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); require_once "../database/db.php"; require_once "../includes/functions.php"; $page_title = 'Product Catalogue'; include_once "header.php"; $conn = mysqli_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname); $query = "SELECT * from products"; $result = mysqli_query($conn, $query); if (!$result) { include_once "header.php"; die ("Error, could not query the database"); } else { $rows = mysqli_num_rows($result); if ($rows>0) { while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { ?> <form> <br /> <br /> <br /> <table> <tr> <td style="width: 200px">Product Code:</td> <td><?php echo $row['ProductCode']; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Name:</td> <td><?php echo $row['ProductName']; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Description:</td> <td><?php echo $row['ProductDescription']; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Colour:</td> <td><?php echo $row['ProductColour']; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Price:</td> <td>$<?php echo number_format($row['ProductPrice'],2); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Image:</td> <td><img src="<?php echo $row['ProductImagePath']?>"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Quantity in Stock:</td> <td><?php echo $row['ProductQuantity']; ?></td> </tr> </table> </form> <form method="post"action="processQuantity.php"> <table> <tr> <td style="width: 200px">Quantity:</td> <td><input type="number" name="Quantity" id="Quantity" value="<?php if (isset ($quantity)) echo $quantity; ?>"size = "20" /></td> <td><input type="submit" name="Purchase" value= "Purchase" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> <hr /> <?php } include "footer.html"; } } ?> Here is the page that I am using to validate the data as well as show a result based on the entered amount: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); require_once "../includes/functions.php"; require_once "../database/db.php"; $quantity = $_POST['Quantity']; $productquantity = $_POST['ProductQuantity']; $orderid = $_POST['orderid']; $productcode = $_POST['productcode']; $productprice = $_POST['productprice']; $total = $quantity * $productprice; $error_message = ''; if ($error_message != '') { include_once "displayCatalogue-PlaceOrder.php"; exit(); $conn = mysqli_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname); if (!$conn) { echo "Error"; } else { //sanitise date $scustomerid = sanitiseMySQL($customerid); $sproductcode = sanitiseMySQL($productcode); $squantity = sanitiseMySQL($quantity); $sproductprice = sanitiseMySQL($productprice); $sorderdate = sanitiseMySQL($orderdate); $query = "select productquantity from products where productcode = '$sproductcode'"; $result = msqli_query ($conn, $query); $productquantity = mysqli_num_rows($result); if ($quantity < $productquantity) { $error_message = "You cannot order more than what is currently instock"; include_once "displayCatalogue-PlaceOrder.php"; exit (); } else { $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result); $query = "INSERT into orders (customerid, productcode, quantity, productprice, orderdate) values ('$scustomerid', $sproductcode', '$squantity', '$sproductprice', '$sorderdate')"; $result = mysqli_query($conn, $query); $row = mysqli_affected_rows($conn); if ($row > 0) { include "header.php";?> <h3>Order Confirmation</h3> <p>Thank you, your order is now being processed.</p> <table> <tr> <td style="width: 200px">Order Number:</td> <td><?php echo $orderid; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Product Code:</td> <td><?php echo $productcode; ?></td> </tr><tr> <td>Quantity:</td> <td><?php echo $quantity; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Price:</td> <td><?php echo $productPrice; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Total Cost of Order:</td> <td><?php echo $total; ?></td> </tr> </table> <?php include "footer.html"; } else { $error_message ="Error placing your order, please try again"; include "displayCatalogue-PlaceOrder.php"; exit(); } } } } //this is used to validate the quantity entered against what is available in the database ?> Is it possible to use for loop to insert values into database using for loop? Or what would be the another way to insert these values into the database if the number of values being entered differs from one time to another? Here is basically what I am trying to do: mysql_query("INSERT INTO MaxMillionsNum SET Day='$weekday', DrawDate='$CompleteDate', DateTime='$timestamp', for($i=1; $i<=$SetNumber; $i+=1){ for($j=0; $j<7; j+=1){ $NumberName="Number".$i.$v[$j];//Generating name of database field $$NumberName=$Match[0][$j];//Here I would store the $Match value into the fieldname name created above } } Tries='$RunCounter'"); I want to take data from one table and insert it into another in the same database, the problem is the two tables have different values so it wouldn't be as simple as using an INSERT INTO script. From table 1 I want to extract a row ID as well as a field called systems. I then want to insert that into the second table which is structured, Id (null) Name (games) Value (the data given from Systems in the other) ID2 (the ID from the other table) Category (news) Any ideas how I can go about this? Hello, I am currently trying to learn php from a book called PHP for Absolute Beginners where it teaches you how to build a blog by "hand". All nice and good until i got to the submit an entry and save it to my database process. I'm using PDO with INSERT prepared statement like so, from a separate update.inc.php file: Code: [Select] $sql = "INSERT INTO entries (title, entry) VALUES (?,?)"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt -> execute(array($title, $entry)); $stmt ->closeCursor(); I have attached screenshots of my database in mysql. What could be the problem? Remeber I am an "ABSOLUTE BEGINNER" :p . Thank you $username = $_POST['uid']; $email = $_POST['mail']; $password = $_POST['pwd']; $passwordRepeat = $_POST['pwd-repeat']; $date = $_POST['date2']; $stream = $_POST['relationship']; $sql1 = "INSERT INTO users (uidUsers, emailUsers, pwdUsers, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?);"; $sql2 = "INSERT INTO Family1 (username, application_filed, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?);"; $sql3 = "INSERT INTO Family2 (username, application_filed, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?);"; mysqli_query($sql1, $conn); mysqli_query($sql2, $conn); mysqli_query($sql3, $conn); $stmt = mysqli_stmt_init($conn); if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $sql2)) { header("Location: ../signup.php?error=sqlerror"); exit(); } else { mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sss", $username, $date, $stream); $result = mysqli_stmt_get_result($stmt); if ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) ($username==$_SESSION['uid'] and $stream =='nursing'); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); } if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $sql3)) { header("Location: ../signup.php?error=sqlerror"); exit(); } else { mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sss", $username, $date, $stream); $result = mysqli_stmt_get_result($stmt); if ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) ($username==$_SESSION['uid'] and $stream =='doctoral'); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); } if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $sql1)) { header("Location: ../signup.php?error=sqlerror"); exit(); } if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $sql1)) { header("Location: ../signup.php?error=sqlerror"); exit(); } else { $hashedPwd = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "ssss", $username, $email, $hashedPwd, $stream); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); header("Location: ../signup.php?signup=success"); exit(); I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have this code. They idea I had behind it is to insert values into different tables depending on variables being passed. So when user fills out a form and selects $stream="nursing" I want results to go to table 'users' and 'Family1', but not 'Family2' table. and if user selects $stream='doctoral' results should go to table 'users' and 'Family2', and not go to 'Family1' But with my query I get results go to both table and also users table. And there is no restriction to what users selects, variable $stream being passed no matter what it is. Is this the wrong way to go here? Did I completely mess up the logic? |
