PHP - Mysql Update Without Field Names
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!! Similar TutorialsHi all, I have the following MySQL insert query: Code: [Select] $insert= mysql_query ("INSERT INTO tablename (column1,`".$EXPfields."`) VALUES ('$something','".$EXPvalues."')"); where $EXPfields is an array of table-field-names and $EXPvalues is an array of table-field-values. Now I want to write an equivalent query, but using UPDATE instead of INSERT INTO, but I don't want to write out all the field names/values separately, but again want to use $EXPfields and $EXPvalues. So something like this: Code: [Select] $update = mysql_query ("UPDATE tablename SET (column1,`".$EXPfields."`) = ('$something','".$EXPvalues."') WHERE .... "); Is this possible? If so, what is the proper syntax? Thanks! Hi. The idea: I want to pull a client record and simply place all the row columns into editable form field text boxes. Once the user reviews and edits a submit button will update the record. What I have: Code: [Select] $Query01 = "SELECT * FROM `CustomerSignups` WHERE `Id` = '$_GET[Id]'"; $Result01 = mysql_query($Query01) or die("Error 01: " . mysql_error()); while ($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($Result01)) { foreach ($get_info as $field) echo "<p>$field</p>"; It displays as expected, a line for each field. How can I get this to pull the field names also and then I can use those as text box input fields...? I currently have php code that outputs information from my database, but how do i make it also display the name of the fields beside each entry of the database? heres my PHP code: Code: [Select] <?php $server = ""; // Enter your MYSQL server name/address between quotes $username = ""; // Your MYSQL username between quotes $password = ""; // Your MYSQL password between quotes $database = ""; // Your MYSQL database between quotes $con = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password); // Connect to the database if(!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } // If connection failed, stop and display error mysql_select_db($database, $con); // Select database to use // Query database $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Properties"); if (!$result) { echo "Error running query:<br>"; trigger_error(mysql_error()); } elseif(!mysql_num_rows($result)) { // no records found by query. echo "No records found"; } else { $i = 0; echo '<div style="font-family:helvetica; font-size:15px; padding-left:15px; padding-top:20px;">'; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // Loop through results $i++; echo '<img class="image1" src="'. $row['images'] .'" />'; //image echo "Displaying record $i<br>\n"; echo "<b>" . $row['id'] . "</b><br>\n"; // Where 'id' is the column/field title in the database echo $row['Location'] . "<br>\n"; // Where 'location' is the column/field title in the database echo $row['Property_type'] . "<br>\n"; // as above echo $row['Number_of_bedrooms'] . "<br>\n"; // .. echo $row['Purchase_type'] . "<br>\n"; // .. echo $row['Price_range'] . "<br>\n"; // .. } echo '</div>'; } mysql_close($con); // Close the connection to the database after results, not before. ?> thanks in advance Hi, when I submit a form I want to update a field in the "daterange" table. In the form the id field (RID) from "daterange" is selected prior to submit. Basically, I want to change the STATUS field to B (from A). The structure of daterange table is as follows: RID (key field) DEND MONTH DATE SITE PRICE STATUS What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Here is the code from the form (if it will help)... Code: [Select] <?php //************************************** // Page load dropdown results // //************************************** function getTierOne() { $result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT MONTH FROM daterange") or die(mysql_error()); while($tier = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo '<option value="'.$tier['MONTH'].'">'.$tier['MONTH'].'</option>'; } } //************************************** // First selection results // //************************************** if($_GET['func'] == "drop_1" && isset($_GET['func'])) { drop_1($_GET['drop_var']); } function drop_1($drop_var) { include_once('db.php'); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM daterange WHERE DEND > DATE(NOW()) AND STATUS='A' AND MONTH='$drop_var' ORDER BY DATE, SITE") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="RID"> <option value=" " disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Choose a Reservation</option>'; while($drop_2 = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo '<option value="'.$drop_2['RID'].'">'.$drop_2 ['DATE'].

My situation is that I will have multiple devices writing to a database, and in one case the time that is being kept track of is important. And the devices writing to the database are a bit difficult to keep accurate times on, so instead of writing the time from the devices themselves, I was hoping I could just have a field update itself. I know it can be done on INSERT, but I do not want to do an INSERT every time.
Thanks!
My Php Buddies, I have mysql tbl columns these:
id: 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

Edited November 19, 2018 by phpsaneHi all. I've got a little function to generate a simple form depending on the input. What I'd like to do is alias the field names that get output to make them a little more human readable. However, I'm not entirely sure how to do that with the output that I get. The function.... function build_form($table_name){ $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name"); $num=mysql_num_rows($result); $i=1; echo "<table>"; while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) { $fields=mysql_fetch_field($result,$i); echo "<tr><td>" . $fields->name . "</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"30\" name=\"" . $fields->name . "\" /></td></tr>"; $i++; }; echo "</table>"; }; Q: Where would I have to modify the output from mysql_fetch_field? My modified function... function build_form($table_name){ $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name"); $num=mysql_num_rows($result); $i=1; echo "<table>"; while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) { $fields=mysql_fetch_field($result,$i); $field_name=str_replace("_"," ",$fields->name); echo "<tr><td>" . $field_name . "</td><td><input type=\"text\" size=\"30\" name=\"" . $field_name . "\" /></td></tr>"; $i++; }; echo "</table>"; }; Not sure if that will work, but am I heading in the right direction?

I know mySQL has "describe" function which will list the complete table, I am looking for a way to display each field name one by one with other stuff in between them like input field or description. I have the following mysql query: Code: [Select] $lead_query=$this->db->query(" SELECT `first_name`, `last_name` , `state` FROM leads WHERE `lead_id`='$lead_id' "); $this->view->lead_query=$lead_query->fetchALL(); Now when I retrieve the above details I need to return the first_name last_name together(separated as space) and the name of the key as client_name in the array. I need it that way because when i return a json_encode($lead_query), I want to return the first_name.last_name as client_name. Code: [Select] $new_array2=array_diff($my_array,$itemIds); $updatedb = mysql_query("UPDATE content_type_ads SET field_expire_value = '666' WHERE $new_array2 = field_item_id_value"); "$new_array2" has only 12 digit numbers for each item in the array, and I want to match them to the "field_item_id_value" field in the table, updating the "field_expire_value" field for the record where they match. I know I am close because the UPDATE code works before I add the WHERE statement (it of course adds '666' to EVERY field, but for a noobie it's a start!). Okay, so I'm trying to run a query to pull the information from a specific item that they click on in order to edit it. When I run an echo $query, though, it shows the field names rather than the information from the table. How can I make it so that it pulls the information rather than the field names? Here's what I have... <?php include("lib.php"); define("PAGENAME", "Edit Equipment"); if ($player->access < 100) $msg1 = "<font color=\"red\">"; //name error? $error = 0; $query = $db->execute("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id=?", array($_POST['id'])); echo "$id"; $result = mysql_query($query); echo "$query"; $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $msg1 .= "</font>"; //name error? ?> Thanks!! Hi all. The title pretty much says it all. I really have no idea if this is even possible or where to start. A recent dilemma caused me to have to change a field name with some spaces in it. I have a database with ~65 tables, a majority of which were converted from Access. So I'm curious as to how many others have bad field names. Is there a way to use PHP to go through all the field names in a database and remove spaces?

First, I pull off Quadratic_Functions and introductory_problem from http://localhost:8888/algebra_book/Chapters/Quadratic_Functions/introductory_problem.php using the code below: Code: [Select] $chapter_page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $chapter_page_array = explode('/',$chapter_page); $size =count($chapter_page_array); $chapter = $chapter_page_array[$size-2]; $page = $chapter_page_array[$size-1]; $page_array = explode('.', $page); $page = $page_array[0]; Based on my printing of the variables $chapter and $page I think that it's doing what I want it to do. I then use the following function: Code: [Select] $supplemental_id = getSupplementalId($dbRead,$chapter,$page); to check out if the there's a supplemental_id for the Quadratic_Function chapter and introductory_problem page name via: Code: [Select] function getSupplementalId($read,$user_id,$chapter,$page) { $sql = "SELECT supplemental_id FROM instructors_supplemental WHERE page_name = $page AND chapter_name='$chapter"; return $read->fetchRow($sql); } If I stick in actual values, as seen below, the thing runs fine. Code: [Select] $sql = "SELECT supplemental_id FROM instructors_supplemental WHERE page_name = 'introductory_problem' AND chapter_name='Quadratic_Functions'"; But if I run it in the abstract version, with variables for page and chapter name (the first version), I get Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'introductory_problem' in 'where clause'' in... It's almost as if it thinks that my variables are the names of the columns. Any thoughts would be appreciated.... I can get files to upload to folder and add a new row for each in to a mysql db using the code below, how do I get all the filles in one row with multiple uploads Code: [Select] //Check if the form was submitted. if(isset($_POST['uploadButton'])) { //Specify folder path where the file is going. $path = 'uploads/'; //Upload file one by one. foreach($_FILES['file']['name'] as $key => $val) { if($val != '') { $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'][$key]; //Get file name. $file_tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$key]; //Get temporary file name. $file = $path . $file_name; mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (img1) VALUES('$file');") or trigger_error('Unable to INsert: ' . mysql_error()); //Move uploaded file if(move_uploaded_file($file_tmp, $file)) { echo 'File was succesfully uploaded to: ' . $file .
