PHP - Anyone Know How To Query Multiple Colums?
What I am trying to do is create a search box to search for a specific piece of information in my client database, say last name, or account number, invoice number, etc. is there a way i can use the keyword to match the query to multiple columns?
here is my code, the script works if i use the $query to select just 1 column. but how do i add other columns to match it to? I know its where "different columns" LIKE search my problem is this line basically. Code: [Select] mysql_select_db("terra_elegante_operations", $con); $searchfor = $_GET['search_term']; $query = "select * from client_information where name_last like \"%$searchfor%\""; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo $row['0']; Similar TutorialsI am using the following code to generate a dynamic drop down menu from a column in table1(name) - and then inserting the selected option into table2. What I am trying to do is, select data from 2 columns from table1(name,age) and then store and insert both of those values into table2 I am hoping someone can help me out or at least point me in the rigth direction. ..I would like to insert into table 2 the age that matches the person selected by the drop down menu from table1. For example - if from the drop down menu I choose John - when the form is sumbitted i want to insert into table2 John's name and age (based on what is stored in table1, in this case John,22) ...Any ideas??? table1 id|name|age|score 01-john-22-1547 02-jane-22-1245 table2 id|county|name|age the dynamic drop down is generated from table1 (name) with following code Code: [Select] <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <?php require_once('sql.php'); $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); $query="SELECT name FROM table1 ORDER BY name ASC"; $result = mysqli_query ($dbc,$query) or die(mysqli_error()); $dropdown = "<select name='name'>"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { $dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['name']}'>{$row['name']}</option>"; } $dropdown .= "\r\n</select>"; echo $dropdown; ?> <tr> <td height="50" align="right"> <label for="scheduled_time">Country</label><br/> </td> <td align="left"> <input type="text" id="country" name="country" class="input" maxlength="30"" /> </td> </table> <p></p> <input type="submit" value="Add Info" name="submit" /> </form> I am inserting into table2 with the following code Code: [Select] <?php $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $county = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['country'])); $name = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_POST['name'])); $query = "INSERT INTO table2 (country, name) VALUES ('$country', '$name'')"; $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); if (!$result) { printf("query error : <br/> %s\n", mysqli_error($dbc)); } if ($result) { echo 'Success'; } // close dbc mysqli_close($dbc); exit(); } ?> I am pulling some info from a mysql table, checking some logic, and displaying in on a page. The way this is written now it shows all of the items in a one column table, I simply want to break it up into multiple columns (ideally by specifying say 20 items per column). I know I need a counter and a loop but I'm just not sure how it all fits in with my existing program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code Code: [Select] $result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM propertyids ORDER BY propertyname ASC"); while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){ ${'resp'.$row2['id']} = curl_multi_getcontent(${'ch'.$row2['id']}); ${'status'.$row2['id']} = strpos(${'resp'.$row2['id']},$httpvar); if(${'status'.$row2['id']} === false) { echo "<tr><td>"; echo "<img src='images/down.png'> <a href='" . $row2['primaryurl'] .

I'd like the user to select all of his or her personal results from a general results table. The results table looks as follows: id name_white name_black result season_id 1 john pete 1-0 2010-2011 2 charles steve 0-1 2010-2011 3 richard john 1-0 2010-2011 etc 11 isaac john 1-0 2011-2012 12 william kate 0-1 2011-2012 13 john bobby 1-0 2011-2012 etc Let us say that the user wants to see all the results of player john in the 2010-2011 season. The following query (probably quite naively) gives me the error "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource": Code: [Select] $result_personal = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM results WHERE name_white = '$seleted_name' AND name_black = '$selected_name' AND season id ='$selected_season'"); Could anyone help me steer in the right direction? Should I use a JOIN query instead? Or a IN query? All the best and thanks in advance for your time, Wouter. Hello
We have a database table that confirms the installations started and completed for our game... and I am looking to confirm how many installs start but never complete...
So, this is my current query...
SELECT description, ip from error_log where description like '%install%' order by ip; Hi there, This is what I need to do, blow that is the code I have knocked up to do it but it doesn't seem to work. The main problem is the query that matches the atc callsigns to the pilots destinations.. can't fathom it myself. 1. Pull all the records from my database. 2. Assign their unique user id's, callsigns and destinations. 3. Execute a query in which you: SELECT * FROM CLIENTS WHERE (The 'clienttype' = 'ATC') AND match the callsign of the ATC users to the 'planned_destairport' of the 'clienttype' = 'PILOT'. For example if three people are going to Heathrow, then it would return 3 results. 4. Then do a mysql_num_rows of the result. 5. Lastly, execute a query that would update the 'atcarrivals' collumn in the database with the count number using the unique 'cid' as the identifier. All in a loop of course. // Selects all of the ATC Records. $atc_arrivals_selectquery = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM CLIENTS"); // Starts the loop for fetching the records of the previous query. while($atc_arrivals_row = mysql_fetch_array($atc_arrivals_selectquery)){ // Sets the users cid, planned_destairport and callsign. $atc_cid = $atc_arrivals_row['cid']; $atc_destinations = $atc_arrivals_row['planned_destaiport']; $atc_callysign = $atc_arrivals_row['callsign']; // Searches the database and selects all records where the callsign is LIKE the destination airport. $atc_arrivals_check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM CLIENTS WHERE clienttype = 'ATC' AND callsign LIKE '%$atc_destinations'"); // Counts previous query results. $atc_arrivals_count = mysql_num_rows($atc_arrivals_check); // Updates the atcarrivals column with the count.. $atc_arrivals_updatequery = mysql_query("UPDATE CLIENTS SET atcarrivals = '$atc_arrivals_count' WHERE cid = '$atc_cid' AND clienttype = 'ATC'"); // End loop. } Concerned columns are these: "cid" - Unique client id. "atcarrivals" - Number of arrivals from count. (This is the problem.) "planned_destairport" - Destination airport of pilot. Usually four letters long. IE. EGLL = Heathrow. Thanks.

I want to add the columns "school_name" and "school_address" from another table "sp_schools" (same database) at the right end of the displayed table in "pback.php" (after the column update) I tried with leftjoin but it does not work.

So I found the flickr ticket id system to be a good choice, since it was sequential and effective. My problem now is, how can I execute 2 queries simultaneously, given the hypothetical change that if I execute them with two separate queries (mysql_query), that there is the chance that another query could be executed in between the break, causing two id's to be the same. Since mysql_query can only execute a single query I am a bit stuck. I thought about possibly using CGI, but then again I have never used it, so I don't know its limitations. Can anyone suggestion anything to me for this problem, as to how I can execute two query strings in the same query. I can use the first while loop, but there is no data in the second while loop. Is there a better way as I have never done this before...

What I am trying to do is use a list of checkboxes (http://www.animeseason.com/anime-list/categories/) exactly like this link and search my table which has the genres as columns. I am new to PHP and don't really have a starting point. I have taken a bunch of examples and came up with this. My HTML form with a list of all my checkboxes. Code: [Select] <form method="post" ACTION = "php/do_search.php"> <ul class="cat_col"> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="1"> <a href="#Action">Action</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="2"> <a href="#Adventure">Adventure</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="3"> <a href="#Comedy">Comedy</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="4"> <a href="#Demons">Demons</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="5"> <a href="#Drama">Drama</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="6"> <a href="#Ecchi">Ecchi</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="7"> <a href="#Fantasy">Fantasy</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="8"> <a href="#Harem">Harem</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="9"> <a href="#Horror">Horror</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="10"> <a href="#Magic">Magic</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="11"> <a href="#Martial Arts">Martial Arts</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="12"> <a href="#Mecha">Mecha</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="13"> <a href="#Music">Music</a></li> </ul> <ul class="cat_col"> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="14"> <a href="#Mystery">Mystery</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="15"> <a href="#Ninja">Ninja</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="16"> <a href="#Parody">Parody</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="17"> <a href="#Psychological">Psychological</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="18"> <a href="#Reverse Harem">Reverse Harem</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="19"> <a href="#Romance">Romance</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="20"> <a href="#Samurai">Samurai</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="21"> <a href="#School Life">School Life</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="22"> <a href="#Science Fiction">Science Fiction</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="23"> <a href="#Seinen">Seinen</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="24"> <a href="#Shoujo">Shoujo</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="25"> <a href="#Shounen">Shounen</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="26"> <a href="#Slapstick">Slapstick</a></li> </ul> <ul class="cat_col"> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="27"> <a href="#Slice of Life">Slice of Life</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="28"> <a href="#Sports">Sports</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="29"> <a href="#Supernatural">Supernatural</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="30"> <a href="#Thriller">Thriller</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="31"> <a href="#Tragedy">Tragedy</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="32"> <a href="#Vampire">Vampire</a></li> </ul> <ul class="cat_col"> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="33"> <a href="#Movie">Movie</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="34"> <a href="#OVA">OVA</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="35"> <a href="#Top Rated">Top Rated</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="36"> <a href="#Currently Airing">Currently Airing</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="37"> <a href="#Ended">Ended</a></li> <li><input type="checkbox" name="cat_check[]" value="38"> <a href="#Ongoing">Ongoing</a></li> </ul> <div id="submit_btn_pos"> <input type="submit" name="search" value="Lets Make Magic" class="submit_btn"> <> </form> My PHP script that right now seems to do nothing.
