PHP - Link To Query
Please reply in simple terms, 'cause I'm simple! Hello all.
If I have a list of links on a page like: >Manchester United >Manchester City >Aresnal How do I make clicking one of the links then query my database for that record? So I click on manchester united and the body of the page calls all the information on the database for that club? Surely I don't need each page to link to their own PHP page do I? The manchester united link doesn't need to point to manchester-united.php? Can I have all the links pointing to club.php that changes in content depending on the link that was clicked? How do I achieve this? What's this called? Please help! Thanks all in advance. Similar TutorialsI have a "Members" page that displays my organizations members info via My SQL. Currently, the database displays "State" quick links at the top and has the members organized by State down the page. If you click on one of the State links at the top, it will navigate to the section of the page with that state and associated members. I want the members associated with a specific state to be displayed only once I click the associated state link -- instead of all of the information showing at once like it is now. The page I am referring to can be seen at this link: http://homesforhorse...rs.com/members/

IE i have say 30 results returned from a sql query but only want to show ten at a time i no how to limit the result with the LIMIT 10 but how do i get it to put link show the other ten and so on. the code i have is here at the bottom of page http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,307971.0.html thanks in advance for any help kaine Hi, I have a search results from a query like this: Accomodation & Housing Aqua & Hatcheries Automotive Beauty,Body & Sourl Billing Construction Education Electrical & Electronics Entertainment Financial Services Food & Dining Freelancers Health Services Home & Garden Industries Miscellaneous I wanted to hyper link these lines as an input to further query: For example: A link should establish to line item Industries, when i click on this, a further query to run with the results from another table with key word "Industries". Can somebody please help me on this issue. I am using dream weaver 5.5 for this project, if any help in this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Is it possible to have a link like this, http://www.somesite.com/?id=243 and transfer the "id" (or another query string) into the website from the link but at the same time, not affect the website (since "id" isn't a query string originally used in the website's URL)? I hope that makes sense.. Hi Everyone. I get the following data from a result from database search <?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?> It prints out the url but when I try to turn it into a clickable link it does not work Here is the coding I have so far. <a href="<?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?>"><?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?></a> What am I doing wrong ? please help. So I am trying to execute an sql query by clicking a button or a link. Ultimately I want users to be able to click the "Fav" button and it then fades into "Added to favorites!" (I am building a favorite system which first collects data on page load like userid and itemid and then it needs to send it to the DB after a button is clicked) The fade and stuff is not the most important part now (although a tip on doing that would be awesome) but the most important part is how to get this functional: PHP Code: <?php // Start Favorite System! $user =& JFactory::getUser(); $userid = $user->id; if ($userid == 62) { echo "userID: ".$userid."<p />"; if ($user->guest) {echo "You are a guest<p />";} $itemid = $this->item->id; echo "itemID: ".$itemid."<p />"; $catid= $this->item->category->id; echo "catID: ".$catid."<p />"; $query = "INSERT INTO jos_k2_fav_xref (userID, itemID, catID) VALUES ('$userid', '$itemid', '$catid')"; // Need a way to make this into a button $run = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); } else {} ?> Currently all the values get stored in the DB as the page is loaded. I however want to be able to click on something to execute that query how do i do that? I read a bunch of stuff on javascript and ajax but it got me nowhere... Help is greatly appreciated! 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" .

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 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!

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? 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 Hi I've got this database I created with fields ProductId ProductName Image I've managed to get it to list the ID,productname, and Image urls in a list.

Regards, Ahsan I'm restarting this under a new subject b/c I learned some things after I initially posted and the subject heading is no longer accurate. What would cause this behavior - when I populate session vars from a MYSQL query, they stick, if I populate them from an MSSQL query, they drop. It doesn't matter if I get to the next page using a header redirect or a form submit. I have two session vars I'm loading from a MYSQL query and they remain, the two loaded from MSSQL disappear. I have confirmed that all four session vars are loading ok initially and I can echo them out to the page, but when the application moves to next page via redirect or form submit, the two vars loaded from MSSQL are empty. Any ideas? here's my code that i've used to send an email. Code: [Select] $link = "<a href=\"http://www.example.com/" . $num . "\">" . $num .
