PHP - Need Query To Sum A Column In Db Between Dates

Hi Everyone,

I am working on implementing a blog comment system using the query below to display comments. My question is what is the best way to do a row count for the id column with this query or do I need to do a second db query to accomplish this? The purpose of this is to echo out the number of comments for that post, before displaying them.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

kaiman

hello all!

my query, when executed, generates an error i don't understand.    i've seen similar entries, but i couldn't find one that related to this particular problem.  either that, or i'm a retard and didn't see it.  apologies if that's the case.  here's the error:

-->  Database Query Failed: Unknown column 'client_id' in 'where clause'  <--

i triple checked the database table and, YUP, the column is correctly named "client_id" and it is an INT column, so it doesn't need to be encapsulated with single quotes.

here's the code that makes it happen:

<CODE>

        $clientID = $_SESSION['clientID'];
   
   $query = "SELECT * ";
   $query .= "FROM client_data ";
   $query .= "WHERE client_id = {$clientID} ";
   $query .= "LIMIT 1";
   
   $results = mysql_query($query);

</CODE>

what. the. heck. 

thanks in advance gang. 

WR!

Hi All,

I need to subtract dates and display the number of days left.  I have a 'Start' date and an 'End' date in DATETIME format in the DB.  Not quite sure where to start.  A simply start - end doesn't work  .

Start = 2011-11-01-00:00:00
End = 2011-11-30-23:59:59

Since it is now 2011-11-27, my output should equal 3.  Any help is appreciated.

this is the query:

$query = "INSERT INTO kamerleden VALUES ('', '$twitter_id', '$name', '$nickname', '$fraction', '$residence', '$age', '$gender', '', '', '', '')";

it used to work but i switched to a different hosting.
The first '' is the id which gives this error:

query failed: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'id' at row 1

in the database id is a int, with a length of 2 and with auto increment.
How can i fix it?

I am trying to create 3 columns of data from a query.  I have used this code before for 2 columns but and now wanting to use for three columns.   There are 5 records from a join query.  The first two columns display the results, 2 results in the left column and 3 results in the center column.  The right column displayw empyt text used in displaying the results, there is no data to populate and it seems to mimic the the number from the center, 3.   Here is the URL to see the problem   http://specialslocat...ignID=1IBu3992p   Here is the Code for the query and the 3 column results.

<?php
$UN_URL = $_GET['un'];
$mS_MGMTcampaignID_URL = $_GET['mS_MGMTcampaignID'];

Thanks for any help in advance. Mike

Hey all, first post to this site. I'm somewhat new to PHP, so bear with me - this might be an easy question, it might not be. Just looking for a little help.

Basically, I have a query which takes commands from a form through AJAX (day, time, time1). The query executes a wildcard on a table named sip_data, searches for linked $id (so if $id=3, for example in multiple tables, it spits out the $name, $zip in a div).

Here's the code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";

//Connect to MySQL Server
$link = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

//Select Database
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

// Retrieve data from Query String
$id = $_GET['id'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
$zip = $_GET['zip'];
$server_url = $_GET['server_url'];
$day = $_GET['day'];
$time = $_GET['time'];
$time1 = $_GET['time1'];

// Escape User Input to help prevent SQL Injection
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($id);
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
$zip = mysql_real_escape_string($zip);
$server_url = mysql_real_escape_string($server_url);
$day = mysql_real_escape_string($day);
$time = mysql_real_escape_string($time);
$time1 = mysql_real_escape_string($time1);
//build query

$query = "SELECT * FROM $day,sip_data WHERE $day.id=sip_data.id AND $day$time<=>$day$time1 ORDER BY zip ASC";

//Execute query
$qry_result = mysql_query($query) or die(('No Results'));

//Build Result String
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result))

{
echo "<table id=query_result align=left>";
echo "<tr>";
    if($zip = $row[zip]); 
echo "<th><b>$row[zip]</b></th>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><a href=$row[server_url] rel=ajaxDiv>$row[name]</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
}
echo $display_string;




?>





Basically, my issue with this is that some of the results within the sip_data DB will have zip codes that repeat. The current code prints out each results with the zip code and name - here's an image of a sample result:



What I would like to do is avoid repeating the zip code and just group the results under each zip code, kinda like this:

55408           55412        55423
---------     ------------    ----------
example      example       example
example                         example
example

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm so close to the answer, but just need a little guidance. Who knows, I might be way off.

Thanks in advance!

To accomplish the layout I was looking for, I used the following code:

for ($i=1; $i<=7; $i++)
   {

//set day of week for display as title of columns
$dow=date("l", strtotime($year.'W'."$weekno"."$i"));

echo "<td class=\"wvcolumn\" valign=\"top\">
<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"$daycolumn\">

if(date("Y-m-d")==date("Y-m-d", strtotime($year.'W'."$weekno"."$i"))) {
$query = "SELECT fieldtickets.ticketnumber, fieldtickets.business, title, apptdatetime, DATE_FORMAT(apptdatetime,'%h:%i %p') AS fapptdatetime, status, billstatus, type, assigntech, clients.business FROM fieldtickets LEFT JOIN clients ON fieldtickets.business = clients.id WHERE status='Open' AND (type = 'Field' OR type = 'Phone') AND apptdatetime BETWEEN '".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($year.'W'."$weekno"."$i"))." 00:00:00' AND '".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($year.'W'."$weekno"."$i"))." 23:59:59' UNION SELECT fieldtickets.ticketnumber, fieldtickets.business, title, apptdatetime, DATE_FORMAT(apptdatetime,'%h:%i %p') AS fapptdatetime, status, billstatus, type, assigntech, clients.business FROM fieldtickets LEFT JOIN clients ON fieldtickets.business = clients.id WHERE status = 'Pending' ORDER BY status ASC, apptdatetime ASC";
} else { $query = "SELECT fieldtickets.ticketnumber, fieldtickets.business, title, apptdatetime, DATE_FORMAT(apptdatetime,'%h:%i %p') AS fapptdatetime, status, billstatus, type, assigntech, clients.business FROM fieldtickets LEFT JOIN clients ON fieldtickets.business = clients.id WHERE status='Open' AND (type = 'Field' OR type = 'Phone') AND apptdatetime BETWEEN '".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($year.'W'.$weekno."$i"))." 00:00:00' AND '".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($year.'W'.$weekno."$i"))." 23:59:59' ORDER BY apptdatetime ASC"; }

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//if ticket is open show appt time and business, if ticket pending display DELIVERY and business name
if($row[status]=="Open") { $href="createticket.php?action=e&ticket=".$row[ticketnumber]; $time=$row[fapptdatetime]; $delivery=""; } elseif($row[status]=="Pending") { $href="createticket.php?action=c&ticket=".$row['ticketnumber'].""; $time=""; $delivery="DELIVER"; }
echo "<tr><td valign=\"top\"><a title=\"".$row[ticketnumber]." - ".$row[title]."\" class=\"".$row[status]."\" href=\"$href\"><span>$delivery$time ".substr($row['business'], 0, $displaychars)."</span></a></td></tr>\n"; }

echo "</table>";

}

echo "</td></tr>
</table>";

Output is similar to this, and any existing "deliveries" are displayed under the current day.
 _________________________________________________ ______________
|     Monday     |     Tuesday     |    Wednesday    |     Thursday     |       Friday       |
|appointments |appointments |appointments     |appointments   |appointments

This works great, but requires 5 separate queries. My database is very small for now, so its not a big deal, but I know this can be done much more efficiently.

How can I query the whole week and put appointments in their corresponding tables (days)? Thank you for your help!

Hi guys,

I am trying to do a multidates events availability calender. The script below indicates todays date by highlighting an orange colour and also indicates the start and end date of the event highlighting grey colour on the two dates (The colour are link via css classes as shown).
Code: [Select]
//Today's date
$todaysDate = date("d/m/Y");
            $dateToCompare = $daystring . '/' . $monthstring . '/' . $year;
echo "<td align='center' ";
if($todaysDate == $dateToCompare){
echo "class='today'";
}else{
//Compare's the event dates
$sqlcount = "select event_start,event_end from b_calender where event_start ='".$dateToCompare."' AND event_end='".$dateToCompare."'";
$noOfEvent = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($sqlcount));
if($noOfEvent >= 1){
echo "class='event'";
}
}
It works ok i.e. if start date = 01/01/2012 and end date = 04/01/2012 both date will be highlighted with grey colour. However I want it to also highlight grey on the dates between the 1st and 4th to show that then anydates between the 1st and 4th are not available and this is when I'm stuck.

Please guys I need help.

Thanks

My Php Buddies,

I have mysql tbl columns these:

id: 
date_&_time: 
account_activation_code: 
account_activation_status: 
id_video_verification_status: 
id_verification_video_file_url: 
username: 
password: 
primary_domain: 
primary_website_email: 
sponsor_username: 
 

Now, I want to display their row data by excluded a few columns.

Want to exclude these columns:

date_&_time

account_activation_code

account_activation_status

id_verification_video_file_url

password

 

So, the User's (eg. your's) homepage inside his account should display labels like these where labels match the column names but the underscores are removed and each words' first chars CAPITALISED:

Id: 1
Id Video Verification Status: 1
Username: requinix
Primary_domain: requinix.majesty
Primary Website Email: requeen@requinix.majesty
Sponsor Username: phpsane
Recruits Number: 2

 

For your convenience only PART 1 works. Need help on Part 2

My attempted code:

 

	PART 1
	<?php 
	// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
	// Query to get columns from table
$query = $conn->query("SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'members' AND TABLE_NAME = 'users'");
	while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
    $result[] = $row;
}
	// Array of all column names
$columnArr = array_column($result, 'COLUMN_NAME');
	foreach ($columnArr as $value) { 
echo "<b>$value</b>: ";?><br><?php 
} 
	?>
	 
	PART 2
	<?php 
	//Display User Account Details 
echo "<h3>User: <a href=\"user.php?user=$user\">$user</a> Details</h3>";?><br> 
<?php 
$excluded_columns = array("date_&_time","account_activation_code","account_activation_status","id_verification_video_file_url","password"); 
foreach ($excluded_columns as $value2) 
{    
    echo "Excluded Column: <b>$value2</b><br>";
}
foreach ($columnArr as $value) 
{ 
    
    if($value != "$value2")
    { 
        $label = str_replace("_"," ","$value"); 
        $label = ucwords("$label"); 
        //echo "<b>$label</b>: "; echo "$_SESSION[$value]";?><br><?php 
        echo "<b>$label</b>: "; echo "${$value}";?><br><?php 
    }
} 
?>
	

PROBLEM: Columns from the excluded list still get displayed.

Hey, I have just recently coded a forum and my topics are ordered by date. This means if there is a topic at 4pm and then there is another topic made at 4:01pm the topic which was posted at 4:01pm will be listed at the top.

I know how to add timezones but there is bit of a problem,  if  person from the UK posts a topic and his/hers timezone is set to:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');()

this means the time at which the topic was posted will be 20:36pm (Just a randome time example).

However if someone posted a topic from america/los_angeles one hour before the one above his/her time will be 11:36 am. Even though this topic was posted one hour before the UK post. The UK topic will override it because it is 8:36pm. In fact, all UK topics will show up at the top and all the america/los_angeles topics will show bellow.

How do I slove this problem? I just don't get it even tough I looked online.

Please help, thanks.

i want to created a case like the following need help with the syntax:
Code: [Select]
switch (true)
{
case($fromdate-$todate==17-04-2001-25-04-2011):
echo $finalprice = $result;
        break;
}

Hi guys,

I am trying to create a program which manages campaigns.
each campaign has a start date and and end date.
a user has to enter data releated to the campaign everyday

example
start date: 10-1-2011
end date: 17-1-2011

now all this information is stored in 2 tables
1st table is "campaigns" this stores the campaign name, start date and end date
and 2nd table is "campaign_data" this table stored the data for each campaign and also date of when that data was entered

my question is, if the user did not enter data on 11-1-2011 how will I know this, keeping in mind the month diffrence which can accur if the length of the campign was 2 month long?


table:
campaigns
fields:
id | campaign_name | start_date | end_date

table:
campaign_data
fields:
id | campaign_id | date | page

Thank you

Hi,
So I only want my users to be able to perform certain tasks each 12 hours.
This is the code I use:
Code: [Select]
function canVote($ip, $vote_id, $updateTimer = true){
$time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$this->CI->db->where('vote_id', $vote_id);
$this->CI->db->where('user_ip', $ip);
$this->CI->db->from('votes_voters');
$count =  $this->CI->db->count_all_results();
/*$count = $this->CI->db
->where('vote_id =', $vote_id)
->where('user_ip =', $ip)
->from('votes_voters')
-count_all_results();*/

$row = $this->CI->db
->where('vote_id =', $vote_id)
->where('user_ip =', $ip)
->get('votes_voters')
->row();

if($count == 0){
$data = array(
   'vote_id' => $vote_id,
   'user_ip' => $ip,
   'last_vote' => $time
);

$this->CI->db->insert('votes_voters', $data);
return true;
}
else{
$last_vote = $row->last_vote;
if($last_vote + strtotime("12 hours") < $time){
return false;
}
else{
if($updateTimer = true){
$data = array(
               'last_vote' => $time,
            );

$this->CI->db->where('vote_id', $vote_id);
$this->CI->db->where('user_ip', $ip);
$this->CI->db->update('votes_voters', $data);
}
return true;
}
}
}
Apparently the failing bit is this:
Code: [Select]
if($last_vote + strtotime("12 hours") < $time){
return false;
}
I believe you can guess what I'm trying to do here, if variable 1 + 12 hours is smaller than variable 2, then return false.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hey guys,

What I'm trying to do is set 2 dates.  Today's date and then a date 14 days from now.  However, I want it to increase the month if by adding 14 days will bring me to the next month, same with the year.

I have this, but it doesn't increment the month or year.

$week = mktime(11, 59, 59, date("m"), date("d")+14, date("y"));
$date =  date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $week);
