PHP - Mysql Populating Table With Million Entries
Dear All,
I have attached here with a schema, of MySql DB format i am refering to for the topic i need help on. I want to know what is the best way to achieve this problem / task. I have a profile table, and a category table, and a table to map profiles to category. Which allows me to define/add into the category_profile_mapping table, profile ids against a category id. Each category can have anywhere between 2 to 1,00,000 profiles mapped to it. I have another table called sms_out. hence on the site, when i select a category and submit the form value with message, i want to know what is the best way to populate sms_out with MSISDN from the table "Profile" and the message from the form. The list of MSISDN will be based on the category id selected, hence the profile id's will be available in the category_profile_mapping table. I am bad at explaining the problem, however incase you folks need more info do let me know. i shall be glad to provide the same to .. all of you guys who are willing to help me PS: I am asking this question, cuz i want to knw the best solution to achieve this, when there is entries in millions to be done at one form submit.

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. <?php $con=mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if(!$con) { die('could not connect' .mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("hrc_fault",$con); $query = "SELECT * " . "FROM fault_book"; $result = mysql_query($query, $con) or die(mysql_error()); $num_movies = mysql_num_rows($result); $registered_comp=<<<EOD <h2><center>Registered Fault HRC</center></h2> <table width="70%" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" align="center"> <tr> <th>Job Cd No</th> <th>Date</th> <th>Section</th> <th>Item Description</th> <th>Item Sl.No</th> <th>Fault</th> </tr> EOD; $fault_details = ''; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $jc_no = $row['jc_no']; $date = $row['date']; $section = $row['section']; $itm_des = $row['itm_des']; $itm_slno = $row['itm_slno']; $fault_brf = $row['fault_brf']; $fault_details .=<<<RAM <tr> <td>$jc_no</td> <td>$date</td> <td>$section</td> <td>$itm_des</td> <td>$itm_slno</td> <td>$fault_brf</td> </tr> RAM; } $movie_footer ="</table>"; $movie =<<<MOVIE $jc_no $date $section $itm_des $itm_slno $fault_brf MOVIE; echo "There are $num_movies complains in our database"; echo $movie; ?> I m using above code but it only display the last record please debug the code Alright so I created a MySQL database that has 5 tables each named a brand of a dirt bike. In each table their are 2 fields, one INDEX_ID and MODELS. Under that for rows I have every model bike named. A quick question before I get onto what I want to do: Can data be added underneath the rows? For example, users will be able to submit information about each bike model. If each bike model is a row, can there be a category past that row or do I need to make each field a model name and just have a ton of fields and have the rows be the information users submit. To make it easier to understand I'll post the SQL code for the brand Honda: CREATE TABLE `Honda` ( `INDEX_ID` int(3) NOT NULL auto_increment, `MODELS` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`INDEX_ID`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=23 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `Honda` -- INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(1, 'CR85'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(2, 'CR125'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(3, 'CR250'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(4, 'CRF100'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(5, 'CRF150'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(6, 'CRF230'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(7, 'CRF250X'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(8, 'CRF250R'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(9, 'CRF450X'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(10, 'CRF450R'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(11, 'CRF50'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(12, 'CRF70'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(13, 'CRF80'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(14, 'XR650'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(15, 'CR500'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(16, 'XR100'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(17, 'XR200'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(18, 'XR250'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(19, 'XR400'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(20, 'XR50'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(21, 'XR70'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(22, 'XR80'); Anyway I still need to figure out how to have this under a form that a user can use to select the bike they want to submit information about. A code like this perhaps?: <? $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); $fields = mysql_list_fields("dbname", "table", $connection); $columns = mysql_num_fields($fields); echo "<form action=page_to_post_to.php method=POST><select name=Field>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) { echo "<option value=$i>"; echo mysql_field_name($fields, $i); } echo "</select></form>"; ?> Thanks. How would I force a certain table format and then populate it with the SQL results in their respective columns and rows? i.e. Code: [Select] +------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 1 lab data | 16777216 | | 573 | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 2 lab data | 23454235 | 87247247 | 65743 | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 3 lab data | 16777216 | 47832364 | | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ Currently I'm just using a while loop to populate it horizontally, but that doesn't work for row 1. Code: [Select] <?PHP while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result) { ?> blah blah blah html here <?PHP echo $row[0]; ?> more html <?PHP echo $row[1]; ?> and so forth <?PHP } ?> It ends up producing this: Code: [Select] +------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 1 lab data | 16777216 | 573 | | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 2 lab data | 23454235 | 87247247 | 65743 | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ | row 3 lab data | 16777216 | 47832364 | | +-------------------+----------+----------+----------+ Hi, Can someone help me with the following problem... I am populating a html table with results from a mysql query. These results populate the 1st of four columns. The second column is a "RAG STATUS" dropdown menu - so GREEN/AMBER/RED. When this is selected I want it to change the colour of the corresponding row it is on. I have had a play around but can only get it to change the colour of the first row, no matter which dropdown menu I change. Code is below. If anything is not clear please let me know. Any help appreciated Code: [Select] <?php include ("commonTop.php"); include("dbvariables.php"); include("functions.php"); ?> <script type="text/javascript"> function changeBGCol(status) { document.getElementById("colour").bgColor=status; } </script> <?php $Checkout_ID = 2; $result = mysql_query( "SELECT Task FROM Task T, Checkout C Where T.Checkout_ID = C.Checkout_ID and C.Checkout_ID= $Checkout_ID" ) or die("SELECT Error: ".mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "This will be sent to the following recepients $num_rows records.<P>"; echo "<table width=70% border=3>\n"; echo "<tr><th>Check</th><th>STATUS</th><th>JIRA</th><th>Comments</th></tr>"; while ($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($result)){ echo "<tr id=colour>\n"; foreach ($get_info as $field) echo "\t<td><font face=arial size=1/>$field</font></td>\n"; echo "\t<td><select name='Status'> <option value='None'>-- Choose --</option> <option onclick='changeBGCol(this.value)' value='green' >GREEN</option> <option onclick='changeBGCol(this.value)' value='orange'>AMBER</option> <option onclick='changeBGCol(this.value)' value='red'> RED</option> </select></td>"; echo "\t<td><input type='text' name='JIRA'></td>"; echo "\t<td><input type='text' name='Comments'></td>"; echo "</tr>\n"; } print "</table>\n"; ?> [code] </code> The only 2 tables relevant to what I want to do are "User" and "Scores." Basically this database holds high scores for a project I've been working on. I only want to display 10 scores, all from different users. No 2 or more scores from the same user. This is my db structure within phpmyadmin: Quote database -> table -> X / User / Score / X / X / X / X / X / X / X / X If possible I'd like to run a query where it checks for duplicate entries by the same user and only show the highest score. The current query I'm running is below: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY Score DESC LIMIT 0, 10"); Is this possible? I can only seem to find information regarding the INSERT IGNORE clause and that obviously won't help me as the users and scores are already in the database. Thanks. Hello. Many thanks for your help. I am writing a PHP/MySQL dating-site and have hit a programming impass. I have a database full of members and a search form consisting of checkboxes. So to search, a member ticks say...gender: female; age: 21,22,23,24,25,26; height: 5'4",5'5",5'6",5'7"; county: cornwall,devon,somerset How can a run a check on the database selecting all entries that fall into the selected criteria. For example a 23 year old female of 5'5" living in Cornwall and a 26 year old female of 5'4" living in Somerset? The key index of my database is 'id' and the fields a age,height,county The names of the form checkboxes a Gender: male, female; Age: 21,22,23,24 etc; Height: 5_4,5_5,5_6 etc; county: cornwall,devon etc Hello, i am inserting some form data into my mysql db, i happen to get some duplicates so i want to check first if the entry exists already before i insert. my current code: Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { ?> <?php if (strlen($_POST['code']) == 19 && substr($_POST['code'],0,7) == '5541258') { mysql_query("INSERT INTO table(code,secret,ip,date) VALUES('$_POST[code]','$_POST[secret]','$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]',CURDATE())"); Print "<font color='green'>The code will be checked now</font>"; } else { Print "<font color='red'>The code is invalid</font>"; } ?><?php } ?> I would like to use the value 'code' to check if the entry exists, that one is unique for each entry. How would i do that ? Thanks ! Ok, so I've spent quite a bit of time piecing together this solution from a variety of sources. As such, I may have something in my code below that doesn't make sense or isn't neccessary. Please let me know if that is the case. I'm creating an administrative form that users will you to add/remove items from a MySQL table that lists open positions for a facility. The foreach loop generates all of the possible job specialties from a table called 'specialty_list'. This table is joined to a second table ('open_positions') that lists any positions that have been selected previously. Where I'm stuck is getting the checkbox to be checked if the facility_ID from the open_positions table matches the $id passed in the URL via ?facility_id=''. Here's where I am so far: $query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname , specialty_shortname , open_positions.position , facility_ID FROM specialty_list LEFT OUTER JOIN open_positions ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname ORDER BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname"; $results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $positions[$row['specialty_shortname']] = $row['specialty_displayname']; } echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>"; foreach($positions as $specialty_shortname => $specialty_displayname) { $facility_ID = $row['facility_ID']; $checked = $facility_ID == $row['facility_ID'] ? ' checked' : ''; echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"{$specialty_shortname}\"{$checked}> {$specialty_displayname}</input><br/>"; } echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>"; echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>"; echo "</form>"; Any ideas how to get this working? I feel like I'm very close, but I just can't get it. I also tried starting from scratch with a WHILE statement instead of a FOREACH, but haven't tweaked it enough to prevent duplicate checkboxes. With that in mind, here it is, just in case that's a better direction: $query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname , specialty_shortname , open_positions.position , facility_ID FROM specialty_list LEFT OUTER JOIN open_positions ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname ORDER BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname"; $results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>"; while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $facility_ID = $row['facility_ID']; $specialty_shortname = $row['specialty_shortname']; $specialty_displayname = $row['specialty_displayname']; if ($facililty_ID==$id) { $checked=' checked'; } echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"$specialty_shortname\"$checked> $specialty_displayname</input><br/>"; } echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>"; echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>"; echo "</form>"; Hi Everyone, I was looking for some direction on how to go about this. A client has asked to set up a small league table with 12 teams where simply they can add fixtures and the result of that fixture. So pending on what the result is if they win they get 2 points and if they loose they get nothing and this will determine what position they are in the league table. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated even a small step in the right direction Thanks Barry How would I compare 2 random numbers to rows in a table. The table has 4 rows and 2 colums. My table is setup like this: ID hp mp then has just randomly placed numbers from 0 to 5. So far my script looks like this: I have $new_hp=rand(0,5); $new_mp=rand(0,5). Then i query the db by $myquery=doquery("select hp,mp from users"; $myrow=mysql_fetch_array($myquery); once this is done would a while statement like while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($myquery) to what each line in the table has? I would then need to compare the random numbers to those entries in the database. Something like if($myrow[hp] == $new_hp && $myrow[mp] == $new_mp) { ? But if the if statement isnt true it needs go back choose another random number and run same again and again until the statement is true and that is where im stuck at so any help would be greatly appreciated Hi, this is what I want to get working: each time I add an entry, it is displayed in a nice html table, and each entry listed in this html table has an UPDATE link that allows the user to update the Price and Description field of the corresponding table in my database.

But, I have no clue how to do this... Any hints? Thanks in advance, Vero Hello everyone, Sorry if this has been answered but if it has I can't find it anywhere. So, from the begining then. Lets say I had a member table and in it I wanted to store what their top 3 interests are. Their$ row has all the usual things to identify them userID and password etc.. and I had a further 3 columns which were labled top3_1 top3_2 & top3_3 to put each of their interests in from a post form. If instead I wanted to store this data as a PHP Array instead (using 1 column instead of 3) is there a way to store it as readable data when you open the PHPmyadmin? At the moment all it says is array and when I call it back to the browser (say on a page where they could review and update their interests) it displays 'a' as top3_01 'r' as top3_02 and 'r' as top3_03 (in each putting what would be 'array' as it appears in the table if there were 5 results. Does anyone know what I mean? For example - If we had a form which collected the top 3 interests to put in a table called users, Code: [Select] <form action="back_to_same_page_for_processing.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="top3_01" type="text" value="enter interest number 1 here" /> <input name="top3_02" type="text" value="enter interest number 2 here" /> <input name="top3_03" type="text" value="enter interest number 3 here" /> <input type="submit" name="update_button" value=" Save and Update! " /> </form> // If my quick code example for this form is not correct dont worry its not the point im getting at :) And they put 'bowling' in top3_01, 'running' in top3_02 and 'diving' in top3_03 and we catch that on the same page with some PHP at the top --> Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' With me so far? If I had a table which had 3 columns (1 for each interest) I could put something like - Code: [Select] include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("Select * FROM users WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); mysql_query("UPDATE users SET top3_01='$top3_01', top3_02='$top3_02', top3_03='$top3_03' WHERE id='$id'"); And hopefully if ive got it right, it will put them each in their own little column. Easy enough huh? But heres the thing, I want to put all these into an array to be stored in the 1 column (say called 'top3') and whats more have them clearly readable in PHPmyadmin and editable from there yet still be able to be called back an rendered on page when requested. Continuing the example then, assuming ive changed the table for the 'top3' column instead of individual colums, I could put something like this - Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' $top3_array = array($top3_01,$top3_02,$top3_03); include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("UPDATE members SET top3='$top3_array' WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); But it will appear in the column as 'Array' and when its called for using a query it will render the literal string. a r r in each field instead. Now I know you can use the 'serialize()' & 'unserialize()' funtcions but it makes the entry in the database practically unreadable. Is there a way to make it readable and editable without having to create a content management system? If so please let me know and I'll be your friend forever, lol, ok maybe not but I'd really appreciate the help anyways. The other thing is, If you can do this or something like it, how am I to add entries to that array to go back into the data base? I hope ive explained myself enough here, but if not say so and I'll have another go. Thanks very much people, L-PLate (P.s if I sort this out on my own ill post it all here) I know I'm doing it something right, but can someone tell me why only one table is showing up? Can you help me fix the issue? Heres my code: function showcoords() { echo"J3st3r's CoordVision"; $result=dbquery("SELECT alliance, region, coordx, coordy FROM ".DB_COORDFUSION.""); dbarray($result); $fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result); echo "<table border='1'>"; // printing table headers echo "<td>Alliance</td>"; echo "<td>Region</td>"; echo "<td>Coord</td>"; // printing table rows while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element // of $row to $cell variable foreach($row AS $Cell) echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$row['alliance']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['region']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['coordx'].",".$row['coordy']."</td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>"; mysql_free_result($result); } I have 2 rows inserted into my coords table. Just frustrated and ignorant to php. |
