PHP - Repeatedly Updating And Displaying Sql Query Results
Hello all,
I'm relatively new to all of this, but making progress.... I figure this has come up before, but couldn't fin anything by search or browsing. I have an sql table that is cron updated every two minutes from externally generated data in table X columns a,b,c,... . As part of more complicated site, I have one body element page (selected by a tab in the header) that does various sql queries on the data in table X and displays the data. I need this to rerun the queries and update the displayed results every 2 minutes or so as well. However, the standard solutions do not seem to be working: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="15"> A refresh button refreshes the entire site, and not just this element. <FORM> <INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="history.go(0)" VALUE="Force Flight Data Refresh"> </FORM> I hope it is clear. Any ideas of how I could get this to work? Thanks, Kalle Here is a snippet of the code on that page for what it's worth... </head> <body> <div id="header"> <center><h2><font color="red">TRAFFIC INFORMATION</font></h2> </div> <div id="navigation"> </div> <div id="content"> <!-- refresh button --> <FORM> <INPUT TYPE="button" onClick="history.go(0)" VALUE="Force Flight Data Refresh"> </FORM> </center> <?php $IDS->db_build($db); $IDS->db_query($db,$res,"SELECT * FROM `Pilots` WHERE `dest`='KORD'"); echo "<h5>Arrivals to O'Ha </h5>"; while ($arr_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) { echo "<font color=yellow>".$arr_row['callsign']."</font> using route: ". $arr_row['route']."<br>"; } //end queries //close connect to sql database mysql_close($con) </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHi everyone. I'm stuck on the following query. I need to display all the fields listed below on a page, but linked via communications.CommID. I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. thank you. Code: [Select] <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT records.NameFirst_1, records.NameLast_1, records.CompanyName, records.CompanyBranch, records.CompanyReferenceNumber, records.CaseOwnerSelect, communications.ConversionType, communications.Contact, communications.ContactFrom, communications.CommID, communications.ContactPosition, communications.ContactTelephone, communications.ContactEmail, communications.ContactFax, communications.CallDate, communications.CallTime, communications.ActionTextField FROM records INNER JOIN communications ON records.IDNumber = '$IDNumber'") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); ?> Hey all, First off, if this is in the wrong section I apologize. I wasn't sure if it should be here or the mySQL section. What's going on is, I'm in the process of learning the Prepared Statement way of doing things and am changing / updating my code to reflect the changes. Everything was going fine until I attempted to do what I could do using old MySQL methods and that is display the queried results on the same page. I can place a query and display the results as they should be displayed if I only use one block of code. However, if I try to do any additional queries on the same page, they get killed and do not display anything even though I know the query is fine because I can test the exact same syntax below one a different page and it works. Here's a code snippet for an example: Code: [Select] Code: <table> <tr> <td> // The below code will display a selection box containing various strings such as "hello world", "great to be here", "Wowserz", "this is mind blowing" etc. that are stored in the database. <?php echo "<select = \"SpecialConditions\">"; if($stmt->num_rows == NULL){ echo "No results found."; }else{ while($stmt->fetch()){ echo "<option value=\"$specialId\">$specialcondition</option>"; } } echo "</select>"; ?> </td> <td> // If I place another fetch query below the above fetch() query, this one will not show up. This one is supposed to display values 1 - 20 that have been stored in the DB. <?php echo "<select = \"NumberSets\">"; if($stmt->num_rows == NULL){ echo "No results found."; }else{ while($stmt->fetch()){ echo "<option value=\"".$numbers."\">".$numbers."</option>"; } } echo "</select>"; ?> </td> </tr> </table> What am I doing wrong with this? When I use regular SQL queries I can display multiple results on the same page. The results are being pulled from two separate joined tables but I don't think that's the issue. 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!

I have a textarea that is entered into a database. When this is edited, I want to store and display a list of all the changes that have been made to it. Like a conversation in a forum. The reason for this is that I want past changes to be locked from editing. Would a new database table storing only this text fields data need to be created? Maybe have column for the work request number and a second column for the text entered? But then wouldn't I need an third identifier column so the changes can be displayed in the right order? Looking for sage like wisdom Thanks Brad_Strickland I making an web app for teachers to assess their students online. The problems I am currently having are on select only one record is displayed and after update no records are displayed in the form even though it was successfully updated.. The program has two files, index.php and process.php. The problems started when got the class name into the query to search and display the class. $result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM data WHERE classroom = '".$classroom."' ORDER BY '.name';") or die($mysqli->error); The query works but doesn't order by name I would like. I would be grateful if anyone could cast an eye over it and give me some tips. Thanks guys. The beers are on me if anyone can sort it, but you'll have to come to Phnom Penh, Cambodia as that is where I live.

Edited July 25, 2020 by raymon Hi all, for my website ive got a fuel station which ive coded so users can fill up there there car fuel tanks, but the code all works part from one part of it. The code: The part of the code which isnt working: <?php $usermoney = $fetch->money; $costs2 = $fetch_fuelstation->price * $fueldiff; if ($costs2 > $usermoney){ echo "You dont have enouth money."; } elseif ($costs2 <= $usermoney){ $nmoney = $usermoney - $costs2; mysql_query("UPDATE users SET money='$nmoney' WHERE username='$username'") or die (mysql_error()); } ?> Ive got a varibal called $usermoney which selects the users current money from the database, but what im trying todo is take the fuel price away from there current money, but its not subtracting the money as it should. Anyone see why its not taking the money? Thanks. why is it not updating? <?php $_POST['email']; $_POST['submit']; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { /*$sql =" UPDATE class_members SET email ='".$_POST['email']."', WHERE S_UID ='".$_POST['mem_id']."'

At the minute i have a page where i can add a new topic to a database, but i want to be able to update the query on another page if that makes sense So as an example say i have this below thats just been inserted into the database with an ID of 2. <?php // Details $id = $_POST['id']; $title = $_POST['title']; $detail = $_POST['detail']; mysql_connect("localhost", "web148", "123") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("web148") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("SET names 'utf8'"); mysql_query("INSERT into sunnyargues(ID, title, body) VALUES ('2', ''超级马里奥意大利再遭种族歧视', '当被问及在友谊赛上的不友好一幕会不会重演时,曼奇尼说,“有这种可能性。” “我当然不希望这样的事情发生,但是谁也不能保证。”'"); echo "<h1>Article Updated!</h1>"; ?> On the sunny argues page i currently have, where it only selects ID 1: <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "web148", "123") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("web148") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("SET names 'utf8'"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT body FROM sunnyargues WHERE ID='1'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ); echo nl2br($row['body']); ?> Is there a way i can update this query with the new ID of the 2nd article once its been inserted into the database.

I've looked through to see if a similar problem has appeared or been solved, but without success, so apologies if I am repeating something.

I have a form that allows my client to update some products. Now the products are simple just basic info and 1 picture. I have set this up so they can edit the products and change the information, having done this many times in the past, but now hit a puzzling block that I am baffled. The client when editing is presented with the form with the information pulled from the database and the form fields loaded with that data ready to edit. The image can either be left alone or they can choose to upload a new image. They are shown the image they currently have stored in the database. The problem I have is EVEN if they decide not to upload an image and change other information, when the submit the form it must be sending a blank value for the image somewhere as it is updating the database and removing the image reference as if it has been removed. I have an if/else statement based on the form to perform 2 different queries for the update in mysql. Here is the code for the form update, as you can see the image should not update??

I am currently using the code below to query the database and extract the 3 most recent entries and showing them in a dynamic list: Code: [Select] $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 3"); $productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); if ($productCount > 0) { // ensure a book exists while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $id = $row["id"]; $title = $row["title"]; $author = $row["author"]; $price = $row["price"]; $date_added = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row["date_added"])); $dynamiclist .= //My table showing the products } } else { $dynamicList = "There are currently no Books listed in this store"; } This works well when showing the most recent books 1 below the other. However, I would like to show these products side by side, horizontally across the page. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Many thanks Dear all, I am new in this forum. This is my code $query = " SELECT webdb.id, webdb.writer, writer.picLoc, webdb.title FROM webdb, writer WHERE webdb.writer=writer.name and category = 'Researchworks' and language = 'Farsi' ORDER BY writer DESC"; $resultaat = mysql_query($query, $LinkID); $column_count = mysql_num_fields($resultaat) or die (mysql_error()."<br>Couldn't execute query: $SQLquery"); $counter=1; echo "<table border=\"0\" width=\"700\" border color=white><tr>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($resultaat)) { if ($author !== $row[1]) { $author = $row[1]; echo "<td align=right width=220 valign=top style=\"margin: 5px; float: right border-bottom-color:#000; border-left-color:#000;\">"; echo "<img width=\"50\" height=\"80\" src=\"admin/writers/$row[2]\" border =\"0\"><br>".$row[1]."<br>"; echo "<a href=\"poems.php?writer=$row[1]\">".$row[3]."</a><br>"; echo "</td>"; if($counter%3==0) { echo"</tr><tr>"; } $counter++; } } echo"</tr></table>"; i have authors with different articles on a certain topic. What i want is, displaying the name of the author only once and all his titles under his name. I also want a dynamic table where i display three authors in each row and soon as there a fourth author a new row must start. My problem now is is the title is also being filtered and i can only display one title. Thanks in advance I'm trying to create a list that groups information by username. Only part of it is working. The first query ($get_item_sql) is grouping the information perfectly but the second query ($get_sold) is lumping the $item_price and $item_amount_due as one total for each one and outputting the same amounts into every username. I'm stuck on this and would appreciate your help. For example: Username item fees image fees item sales item price total due Jim 2 $0.40 $100.00 $3.00 $3.40 Kelly 5 $1.00 $100.00 $3.00 $4.00 This example shows the columns in red as being the problem where Kelly didn't sell anything so her "item sales" and "item price" should be $0.00 but is carrying Jim's totals into hers. Hope this helps! Thank you! $get_item_sql = mysql_query("SELECT id, username, date, ROUND(price,2) AS price, SUM(item_fee) AS fee, item_fee, SUM(sold) AS sales, SUM(ROUND(price,2)) AS total FROM product WHERE MONTH(date) = MONTH(DATE_ADD(CURDATE(),INTERVAL -1 MONTH)) GROUP BY username" ) or die(mysql_error()); if (mysql_num_rows($get_item_sql) < 1) { //invalid item $display_block .= "<p><em>Invalid item selection.</em></p>"; } else { //valid item, get info while ($item_info = mysql_fetch_array($get_item_sql)) { $item_username = $item_info['username']; $item_date = $item_info['date']; $item_price = $item_info['price']; $item_fee = $item_info['fee']; $image_fees = $item_fee * .20; $item_sold = $item_info['sales']; $get_sold = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(ROUND(price,2)) AS total, SUM(ROUND(sold,2)) AS sales, date, username FROM product WHERE sold = '1' AND MONTH(date) = MONTH(DATE_ADD(CURDATE(),INTERVAL -1 MONTH)) GROUP BY username") or die(mysql_error()); if (mysql_num_rows($get_sold) < 1) { //invalid item $display_block .= "<p><em>Invalid item selection.</em></p>"; } else { //valid item, get info while ($item_sold2 = mysql_fetch_array($get_sold)) { $item_sales = $item_sold2['total']; $item_price = ($item_sold2['total']) * .03; $item_amount_due = $image_fees + $item_price; $content .= "<form action=\"add_artist.php\" method=\"post\"><table class=\"anotherfont\" width=\"670\" border=\"0\"> <tr><td width=\"201\">{$item_username}</td> <td width=\"109\">{$item_fee}</td> <td width=\"109\">{$image_fees}</td> <td width=\"109\"> {$item_sales}</td> <td width=\"109\"> {$item_price}</td> <td width=\"109\"><input name=\"balance_due\" type=\"text\" value=\"{$item_amount_due}\" /></td> </tr><br /></table></form>"; } } } } Code: [Select] <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM FamilyTbl INNER JOIN PeopleTbl ON (FamilyTbl.Name_ID = PeopleTbl.NameID) WHERE FamilyTbl.House_ID = '$address' ORDER BY NameLast, NameFirst ") OR die(mysql_error()); WHILE ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo $row[NameLast]. ", ". $row[NamePrefix]. " ". $row[NameFirst]. " ". $row[NameMiddle]. $row[NameSuffix]. " "; } ?> OK, some of these queries return A LOT of names. I'd like to be able to display them in columns in a table like so: Code: [Select] Charne, Mr. Michael Glanger, Mrs. Karin Kling, Mr. Wayne Charne, Mrs. Suzette Glanger, Mr. Trevor Lazarow, Mrs. Fiona Charney, Mrs. Linda Jochelson, Mrs. Barbara Lazarow, Mr. Mark Charney, Mr. Norman Jochelson, Mr. Neil Norton, Mr. Charles Cohen, Mr. Brendan Karlan, Mr. Dennis Norton, Mrs. Jodi Cohen, Mrs. Joanna Karlan, Mrs. Helen Roy, Mr. Michael Flekser, Mrs. Jean Kling, Mrs. Danielle Roy, Mrs. Nicki Frysh, Dr. Howard Kling, Mrs. Melanie Tsafrir, Mrs. Lauren Frysh, Mrs. Sandra Kling, Mr. Nevil Tsafrir, Mr. Thomer That way it reads top to bottom THEN left to right. math-wise, it's simple to set up: Code: [Select] $num_results = number_of_$results; $numcols = 3; $numrows = trunc($numresults/numcols); <table> for row_loop=1 to numrows <tr> for col_loop = 1 to numcols <td> echo result(col_loop-1)*(numrows)+row_loop </td> next col_loop </tr> next row_loop </table> Anyone want to give this a shot? Revraz already directed me to http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95426.0.html but that displayed the data from left to right then up to down like so: Code: [Select] Charne, Mr. Michael Charne, Mrs. Suzette Charney, Mrs. Linda Charney, Mr. Norman Cohen, Mr. Brendan Cohen, Mrs. Joanna Flekser, Mrs. Jean Frysh, Dr. Howard Frysh, Mrs. Sandra Glanger, Mrs. Karin Glanger, Mr. Trevor Jochelson, Mrs. Barbara Jochelson, Mr. Neil Karlan, Mr. Dennis Karlan, Mrs. Helen Kling, Mrs. Danielle Kling, Mrs. Melanie Kling, Mr. Nevil Kling, Mr. Wayne Lazarow, Mrs. Fiona Lazarow, Mr. Mark Norton, Mr. Charles Norton, Mrs. Jodi Roy, Mr. Michael Roy, Mrs. Nicki Tsafrir, Mrs. Lauren Tsafrir, Mr. Thomer It's a good temp solution, but if anyone is good with for loops, I'd appreciate the help, thanks! -Dave |
