PHP - Simple Question About Mysql Text Field Types
Hi Guys
I'm just getting back into coding after taking a break from it. I want to have a text field that can take up to 1000 characters. What is the best field type for the MySQL field for this? I can't remember if there are any particular special types.
Thanks
Similar TutorialsWell, basically I am making my log in script. This is my first website with php and MySQL... actually, its my first website I have done that isn't for a school project. Anywho, the problem I am having is I can't seem to verify the password of the account I am trying to log into. Here is the code snippet I am having trouble with: $usr = $_REQUEST['Username']; $pass = $_REQUEST['Password']; $pass = md5($pass); if(mysql_query('SELECT Password FROM Accounts WHERE Username = "' .$usr . '"') == $pass) { session_start(); $_SESSION['loggedin'] = yes; $_SESSION['User'] = $usr; $_POST['info'] = ("You have successfully logged in " . $usr . "."); } else { $_POST['info'] = "Username and password do not match.";} The problem is that it doesn't seem to matter if the username and password are correct, it always prints "Username and password do not match.". So, here is the table layout of 'Accounts': Did I type the mysql query wrong? This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=334042.0 Hi there, I've just started learning php and mysql today. I'm putting things together in dreamweaver and everything is running smoothly (ish). I've got a form written in php that sends data to a database. All fine. I need to send the time of submission to the database. I've put in a hidden field, what code should I use to set the field value to a mysql field of type DATETIME? Cheers. Hi, I m doing some work for my self an because of that i been reading a lot arround about PHP, and theres something that i would like to ask a bit of enlightenment. So my question is as the title says about html form's using php to insert data into mysql, i been reading tutorials arround the interwebs and even made afew successful tests, but pretty much all tutorials use 2 files to accomplish this the html file with the form and an insert.php where the actual code is stored so this made me think is this how usually it's done? in over all you will have 1 file for the form, 1 for the insert, 1 for the edit php code and 1 for delete. How do you guys usually do it? PS: one of the tests i did was making 1 single file with all these using an switch. My interest in making this question is solo to learn how other people do it to see if i m in the right way. Thanks in advance. Hey guys, I am a webmaster for my church and I am fairly new to PHP. What am trying to is when a visitor goes to our radio ministry page and clicks a button which the message number is displayed in the read only textbox, it will go to my request CD page and auto populate the message number in that text field form the readonly text field from the previous page. I will show my code for both pages for you to review.

If it is possible, could somebody give me the exact code (I'm not a programmer) I would need to use? Thanks for any help on this. Hi: I'm going crazy trying to do the following: I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record. If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly. If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect. I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db. With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded. Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day. If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it. My code is as follows for the 2 pages. ---------activate.php------- <?php session_start(); include ('reg_dbc.php'); if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) ) { $msg = "ERROR: The code does not match.."; exit(); } $rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode); if ($_GET['code'] == $acode) { mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<h3><center>Thank You!

I have two select fields one called category and the other sub category. Both are in the format. <select name="category" value=" <?php $qGetCat = "SELECT * FROM club_category" ; $rGetCat = mysql_query($qGetCat); while ($Cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($rGetCat)) { ?>" /> <option value="<?php echo $Cat['categorys'];?>"><?php echo $Cat['categorys']; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> <select name="sub_category" value=" <?php $qGetSubCat = "SELECT * FROM sub_categorys" ; $rGetSubCat = mysql_query($qGetSubCat); while ($SubCat = mysql_fetch_assoc($rGetSubCat)) { ?>" /> <option value="<?php echo $SubCat['sub_categorys'];?>"><?php echo $SubCat['sub_categorys']; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> Now I want to make it so that when a particular category is chosen for example self defence. The sub category when clicked shows all the self defence stuff. If watersports was chosen sub category would show things like swimming. What do I need to look up to do this? At the minute there is no link the way I have coded these to fields. In the database its self there is a; category table with categoryID and category_name sub category table with sub_cat_name and categoryID I think this will work but I have never done this so its making my head hurt just thinking about it. Does anyone have any advice, tuts or scripts to do this? Thank you Can anybody clarify the usefulness of "AS" and elaborate on how it operates. If I select a 'bananas' AS 'yeelow fruit' will it change the TITLE in the table? Or the table that is being viewed? If I dump a list of 'FRUITS' into and HTML table, will using AS rename each column for me, or is that handled by MY coing of the HTML table? Hi i have the following code Code: [Select] $orderFetch->order="3"; mysql_query("UPDATE `categories` SET order=order-1 WHERE `order` > $orderFetch->order"); i wish to minus -1 from all the "order" fields in categories that are over a certain value i.e 3. But however this code is not working can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong? thank you I have a mysql field that I want to store a php variable in and then retrieve it.
Example:
Color table has the field named colorBackground with the value of #FF0000
CSS table has the field named cssBackground with the value of .background { background-color: #444444; }
What I want to do is make Color/colorBackground a variable {{$backgroundcolor = rsColor['colorBackground']
Then I want to change the CSS/cssBackground value to .background { background-color:$backgroundcolor; }
Creating the $backgroundcolor works fine. I'm just not sure how to put the $backgroundcolor in my CSS/cssBackground field.
In my mysql database i have a field that records peoples details one part of the details is their county/region they live in. It records the county in a normal varchar field however i need a simple php script that searching the database and finds the most common county so i can then return to the screen where the most popular region for my members. Thank you for reading. I have this script running: <?php $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE event = 'Yes' ORDER BY title"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { ?> How do I check if a field is empty and NOT display it...? For instance it has a 'applied' field, if that is empty I dont want it to display, however I still need the event = 'Yes' part. I have made a simple form where users who have been subscribed and unsubscribe by inserting their email address. In my database using PHPMyAdmin, my database to store the emails is 'Links', the table is 'email' and the fields are the 'id' and 'emailaddress'. What I have tried is making a text input field, where the user ill insert his or her email address, to unsubscribe on the website. As a result the user's field for his or her email address will be delete in the database which is saving the emails for all users who have subscribed. My HTML codes a Code: [Select] <p>Subscribe for newsletters:</p> <img src="images/k-newsletter-icon.png" width="96" height="96" alt="subscri"/> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="25" placeholder="Your email address..." name="enter"/> <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe"/> </form> My PHP codes a Code: [Select] <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $email = $_POST['enter']; @mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', '') or die ('Error'); @mysql_select_db ('links') or die ('Error'); if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo "Not an email"; return false; } else { mysql_query("DELETE FROM email WHERE emailaddress ='$email'"); echo "deleted"; } } ?> When I test it,it is not working, as I see the email which was saved, is still in the database! Help! Hi Guys I have built a simple form, which has text fields Name, Telephone Number, Best Time to Call and E-mail. For security purposes, I am testing each against the function shown below which looks for dangerous code snippets, in an effort to protect against email header injection attacks. When it comes to the E-mail field, I am not actually testing whether a valid e-mail address has been entered, as it is the telephone number which is essential, not the e-mail. My question is, do you think this is a security weakness? Many thanks Code: [Select] //http://www.tonyspencer.com/2005/12/15/email-injection-exploit-through-a-php-contact-form/ //preg_match string to match goes within forward slashes, i.e. /str/, and i at the end makes it case insensitive function containsInjectionAttempt($input) { if (preg_match("/\r/i", $input) || preg_match("/\n/i", $input) || preg_match("/%0a/i", $input) || preg_match("/%0d/i", $input) || preg_match("/Content-Type:/i", $input) || preg_match("/<script>/i", $input) || preg_match("/bcc:/i", $input) || preg_match("/to:/i", $input) || preg_match("/cc:/i", $input)) { return true; } else { return false; } } Why won't this increment the database field by 1? $sql2="update 'users' set 'TimesLoggedOn' = 'TimesLoggedOn' + 1 where 'BarcodeID' = $barcode"; mysql_query($sql2); Thanks! I need to update a particular table and there be a whole lot of field names. I'd like to do it without having to use them the same way you can access then like $row[12] after a "select" query. The standard for updating (at least how I write it) goes like this ... Code: [Select] $query = "UPDATE linguistics SET welcome1='$var3', welcome2='$var4' WHERE language = '$lengua'"; Well, I'd like to do it where I don't have to name welcome1 and welcome2, but instead refer to their numerical position within the database. On a "select" query we can do this. Can this be done on an update? Something perhaps like ... Code: [Select] $query = "UPDATE linguistics SET 3='$var3', 4='$var4' WHERE language = '$lengua'"; ... where 3 and 4 represent the 4th and 5th fields respectively. I know that this particular phrasing doesn't work because I've tried it, but surely there has to be something. This will save me LOTS of time. Thanks!! Basically I have a date of birth field (date) now how would I go about splitting that date field into 3 variables $year $month and $day? Any small push forward is much appreciated, I have searched but it seems that I might not be putting it into words correctly. Actually while writing this I suppose I might of thought of the solution Code: [Select] <?php $year = date('Y', strtotime($row['dob'])); $month = date('m', strtotime($row['dob'])); $day = date('d', strtotime($row['dob'])); ?> Would that be how you would go about it? |
