PHP - Do While Across Multiple Cells

I have tried the following variations but non works

if($row['relation'] = "" ){

if($row['relation'] = '' ){

if($row['relation'] = NULL ){

if($row['relation'] IS NULL ){

if(strlen($row['relation']) = 0 ){

So how would one refer to a cell that is empty?

Ok I'm trying to insert multiple rows by using a while loop but having problems. At the same time, need to open a new mysql connection while running the insert query, close it then open the previous mysql connection.

I managed to insert multiple queries before using a loop, but for this time, the loop does not work? 
I think it is because I am opening another connection... yh that would make sense actually?

Here is the code:


$users = safe_query("SELECT * FROM ".PREFIX."user");
       while($dp=mysql_fetch_array($users)) { 
          
   $username = $dp['username'];
 $nickname = $dp['nickname'];
 $pwd1 = $dp['password']; 
 $mail = $dp['email'];
 $ip_add = $dp['ip'];
 $wsID = $dp['userID'];
 $registerdate = $dp['registerdate'];
 $birthday = $dp['birthday'];
 $avatar = $dp['avatar'];
 $icq = $dp['icq']; 
 $hp = $dp['homepage'];
 
echo $username." = 1 username only? :(";

$phpbbpass = phpbb_hash($pwd1);

$phpbbsalt = unique_id();

So I need to be able to insert these rows using the while loop.. how can I do this?

I really appreciate any help.

First, Happy X-Mas to all!


I want to do a form for entering dog-show results. On first site of form the user is able to enter how many dogs for each class (there are youth and open class for example) he want to insert. So on second site there will be formfields for every dog in every class, created with php. User should be able to take dogname from jquery autocomplete - this works for multiple fields. But i need the according id to the dogname - and actual only one id is given - the first one is changing by choosing from autocomplete in next fields...

Data came from a json array like

0: {dogidindatabase: "9892", value: "Excalibur Khali des Gardiens de la Cour ",…}
dogidindatabase: "9892"
label: "<img src='../main/img/female.png' height='20'>Excalibur Khali des Gardiens de la Cour   "
value: "Excalibur Khali des Gardiens de la Cour   "
1: {dogidindatabase: "15942", value: "Excalibur from Bandit's World Kalli",…}
dogidindatabase: "15942"
label: "<img src='../main/img/male.png' height='20'>Excalibur from Bandit's World   Kalli"
value: "Excalibur from Bandit's World   Kalli"

all i need is inside ...


the script in form is

<script type='text/javascript'>
		//<![CDATA[
		$(function() {
		
				$(".dog").autocomplete({
				source: "xxx.php",
				minLength: 3,
				select: function(event, ui) {
					$('#dogidindatabase').val(ui.item.dogidindatabase);
					}
			});
			
			$["ui"]["autocomplete"].prototype["_renderItem"] = function( ul, item) {
				return $( "<li></li>" ) 
  				.data( "item.autocomplete", item )
  				.append( $( "<a></a>" ).html( item.label ) )
  				.appendTo( ul );
			};
	
		});
		//]]>
</script>

and the form looked like

<input type='text' name='dog' class='dog' value='".strip_tags(${'dogname' .($countbabymale+1)})."' size='35' data-required='true' /><br>
	
<input class='readonly' readonly='readonly' type='text' id='dogidindatabase' name='dogidindatabase' size='5'  />

I changed in script and form id='dogidindatabase' to class, but it doesn´t work.   Testsite is under http://www.wolfdog-d...how.php?lang=de (only german at first) - Insert a number (higher than 1) under baby 3-6 (first box, the others are not working for testing); submit to get to page 2; you see all post-variables (for testing). Try to insert a dogname in first input-field (choose "exc") and insert first one - the id is under dogname. In second dogname inputfield you can choose second dog - the id for the first one changes to id of seond one ....   How can i get both for every dog?

Hello all,

   I am trying to learn OOP in PHP so please forgive my ignorance. I seem to be having difficulty inserting data into my database from checkbox items. My database has a column for each each fruit. I would like for each column to be populated with either a one(1) for checked or a zero(0)  for not checked. Currently, my attempts have failed. I can either get all checkboxes to insert all zeros or I can get the first column to insert a one(1) while the others as zeros. Is there anybody here that can help me figure out what I am doing wrong and help me to re-work my code so I can get this to work? If anybody can help me using OOP methods that would be fantastic. Thank you all in advance.

Ok so i want to grab an id from the checkbox then grab the option drop down associated with that check box and update a mysql row here is my code so far

any help is awesome help taaaanks guys

This seems to be a bit of a challenge but I am creating a multiple page form and on one of the pages I have a select field. I would like the user to have the ability to select multiple options but I am using some functions to move the data in hidden fields from page to page. I don't think my functions are jiving with my my foreach loop cause I keep getting an invalid argument error.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is my function:

    function setSelected($fieldName, $fieldValue) {
        if(isset($_POST[$fieldName]) && $_POST[$fieldName] == $fieldValue) {
            echo 'selected="selected"';
        }
    }

And here is my loop:

    $selections = "";
   
    if(isset($_POST["selections"])) {
        foreach ($_POST["selections"] as $selection) {
            $selections .= $selection . ", ";
        }
    }

Hello all! I'm having some issues with a snippet that I found online and have edited to how I want it.

Basically the code works at the moment, except if I were to search for 2 or 3 terms, it would search the columns username/action/result/changes for any result that have any of the words rather than results that include both terms, instead of either.

I want the query to be like (assuming 2 search terms):

Quote

username LIKE '%$filter%' OR action LIKE '%$filter%' OR result LIKE '%$filter%' OR changes LIKE '%$filter%' AND username LIKE '%$filter%' OR action LIKE '%$filter%' OR result LIKE '%$filter%' OR changes LIKE '%$filter%'


and not:

Quote

username LIKE '%$filter%' OR action LIKE '%$filter%' OR result LIKE '%$filter%' OR changes LIKE '%$filter%' OR username LIKE '%$filter%' OR action LIKE '%$filter%' OR result LIKE '%$filter%' OR changes LIKE '%$filter%'


It needs an AND instead of an OR, but I'm not sure how to go around doing it.

Here's the code as it is at the moment:

$filter = ($_POST['filter']); 

$query = "SELECT * FROM activity WHERE"; 

$searchresult = explode(" ", $filter); 

     foreach ($searchresult as $key => $filter) { 
$query .= " username LIKE '%$filter%' OR action LIKE '%$filter%' OR result LIKE '%$filter%' OR changes LIKE '%$filter%'"; 
     if ($key != (sizeof($searchresult) - 1))   
$query .= " AND ";
     }
$query .= "ORDER BY id DESC"; 

Sorry if this is a little confusing to understand, hope someone understands what I need.

I am trying to export multiple csv files to download from 2 separate tables in my database.

Some background:
I have a web app that links to a phpmyadmin database. There are 2 tables in the database (entering and exiting). These tables hold the phone inventory information of employees currently entering or exiting the organization.

The fields in my tables a

location, firstname, lastname, username, extension, mac, type

What I am trying to do is export the data in these 2 tables to CSV (which I have working now) but I need to have multiple CSVs for each.

For example, for my exiting table, I need to have one CSV export all the fields in the table and I also need another CSV to export just the location and username field. I have a simple html form with a submit button which is currently working now:

<form action="exportexiting.php" method="POST" style="width: 456px; height: 157px">
   <div>
   <fieldset>
   <legend style="width: 102px; height: 25px"><strong>Entering CSV:</strong></legend>
   <input name="Export" type="submit" id="Export" value="Export">
   </fieldset><br/>
   </div>
</form>


This links to my exportexiting.php file:

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = 'xxxx';
$db = 'PhoneInventory';
$table = 'exiting';


 
// Connect to the database
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($db);
 
require 'exportcsv.inc.php';

 
exportMysqlToCsv($table);
 
 
 
?>

Then to exportcsv.inc.php:

<?php
 
function exportMysqlToCsv($table,$filename = 'export.csv')
{
    $csv_terminated = "\n";
    $csv_separator = ",";
    $csv_enclosed = '';
    $csv_escaped = "\\";
    $sql_query = "select * from $table";
 
    // Gets the data from the database
    $result = mysql_query($sql_query);
    $fields_cnt = mysql_num_fields($result);
 
 
    $schema_insert = '';
 
    for ($i = 0; $i < $fields_cnt; $i++)
    {
        $l = $csv_enclosed . str_replace($csv_enclosed, $csv_escaped . $csv_enclosed,
            stripslashes(mysql_field_name($result, $i))) . $csv_enclosed;
        $schema_insert .= $l;
        $schema_insert .= $csv_separator;
    } // end for
 
    $out = trim(substr($schema_insert, 0, -1));
    $out .= $csv_terminated;
 
    // Format the data
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
        $schema_insert = '';
        for ($j = 0; $j < $fields_cnt; $j++)
        {
            if ($row[$j] == '0' || $row[$j] != '')
            {
 
                if ($csv_enclosed == '')
                {
                    $schema_insert .= $row[$j];
                } else
                {
                    $schema_insert .= $csv_enclosed .
               str_replace($csv_enclosed, $csv_escaped . $csv_enclosed, $row[$j]) . $csv_enclosed;
                }
            } else
            {
                $schema_insert .= '';
            }
 
            if ($j < $fields_cnt - 1)
            {
                $schema_insert .= $csv_separator;
            }
        } // end for
 
        $out .= $schema_insert;
        $out .= $csv_terminated;
    } // end while
 
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Content-Length: " . strlen($out));
    // Output to browser with appropriate mime type, you choose
    header("Content-type: text/x-csv");
    //header("Content-type: text/csv");
    //header("Content-type: application/csv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
    echo $out;
    exit;
 
}
 
?>



Again, this is working perfectly for only exporting all the data from the exiting table into one CSV file. My question is, how can I make my one submit button export the 2 CSV files that I need?


Thanks for the help...

This just outputs all the fields I post at the moment. Say I have 3 different disk types, it's going to loop 3 times. Is it possible to make this all into 1 giant query or am I better off doing each query separately? Each section is a different table.

I have a search where I want to be able to search a string of words. The search is going to be looking in 2 different table joined by a left outer join. The tables are "quotes" and "categories".

$sql="SELECT q.id, q.username, q.quote, q.by, q.voteup, q.votedown, q.servtime, c.quote_id, c.label FROM quotes q LEFT OUTER JOIN categories c ON q.id = c.quote_id WHERE ( q.username LIKE '$srch' OR q.quote LIKE '$srch' OR q.`by` LIKE '$srch' OR c.label LIKE '$srch')";
   
The above mysql statement works and returns values..BUT if say, I search "john" and "funny", and a quote is posted by the user "john", but has a category of "funny" it will output the same quote twice. I was wondering if there was a way to see if a quote has either 1 term or both terms, if so display that quote but only display it once. Below is what the query is outputting.


[100] => Array

Here is the code in full.

I don't think this is the fastest way of doing this, as it loops for each item in the db, per each keyword that is search.

Any help would be great!!

I want to echo out a few subcategories per main category.
It should be a maximum of 20 entries per column

At this stage I have the following... It echo's the results out in 4 columns and not what I want.
Any suggestions?

$query = "SELECT 
adsubcat.name AS subname, adsubcat.linkname AS sublink, adcat.clinkname AS clink
FROM adsubcat 
JOIN adcat ON adcat.id=adsubcat.catid
WHERE adsubcat.catid='$catid' ORDER BY adsubcat.name ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$count = 0;

print '<table style="text-align:left;margin-left:0px;width:943px;">'."\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$gal = '<a href="'.$root.'/'.$row['clink'].'/'.$row['sublink'].'">'.$row['subname'].'</a>';
if ($count == 0){
print '<tr>';
}
++$count;
print '<td>'.$gal.'</td>';
if ($count == 4){
$count = 0;
print'</tr>'."\n";
}
}
print'</table>'."\n";
}
