PHP - Best Way To Import Multiple Tables With Phpmyadmin

 
I'm not sure if this belongs in the PHP or SQL sections or both but-
Is it possible to insert form data (one record) into 2  different tables when I click submit?
  As is, I have 2 distinct log-in scripts each linked to 2 separate databases .  I want to merge them into one log-in form that populates both tables(in different dbs). I don't want my visitors to log into 2 different forms.  Can one form's action attribute send the POST data to two different processing scripts? and can the input from a text  box be sent to 2 different fields?
I don't have any code, I just wanted to know if it can be done or point me to a sample that I can work from.

hi im trying to echo out all the possibilities from one column in 2 different tables, both with the same structure. if that makes sense

this is what i have

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stanjamesprem,centrebetprem GROUP BY eventname ORDER BY eventtime ");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
   {
   echo $row[eventname];
   }

if i take one of the tables out it works fine but if i have 2 table names it doenst work

please help me

cheers matt

any questions please ask away

I hope this isn't a stupid question.  I have written a fairly large site using php and SQL.  The site has multiple features (how tos, classifieds, photos, videos, ect) with each section's data housed in its own table.  Now I would like to have one highlight from each section appear in boxes on the index page simutaniously. (basically returning one random item from each table when the page is loaded)  I know how to call each table individually with sql = mysql_query, however, I fear that calling the database that many times over and over in one page load could be problematic if the site begins to get a lot of traffic.   Am I correct in worring about overloading the server and is there a better way to do this?

I'm having a hard time grasping how to select data from several tables.

Here's the code

Code: [Select]
<?php 
require_once "config.php";
$gamedate = $_SESSION['date'];
echo "These umpires are not currently scheduled on this date, and have not asked for the day off:<br />";

$umpirelist = Array('umpire 1 name', 'umpire 2 name', 'umpire 3 name');

$dbc = mysql_pconnect($host, $username, $password);  
mysql_select_db($db,$dbc);  

foreach($umpirelist as $data) { 

//now get stuff from a table           
$sql = "SELECT calendar.date, calendar.ump1, calendar.ump2, calendar.ump3, calendar.ump4, calendar.ump5, vacation.date, vacation.umpire FROM umps, calendar, vacation WHERE umps.full_name = $data AND $gamedate = `calendar.date` AND $gamedate = `vacation.date` AND $data NOT IN ('calendar.ump1', 'calendar.ump2', 'calendar.ump3', 'calendar.ump4', 'calendar.ump5') AND $data NOT IN ('vacation.umpire') order by umps.full_name asc"; 

$rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc);  
$matches = 0; 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs))  {
$matches++; 
echo "$row[$data]<br />";
}
}
?>

The table CALENDAR holds the date of the game, who is playing, and what umpires are schedule for that game.  it does have a unique "row_number" column as well, but didn't think I'd need it in this select.

The table VACATION has the date, and umpire's name that is on vacation.

The table UMPS contains the umpires name (same names as the array in the code) and email addresses and login info.

I'm getting this error:

Quote

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource on line 152



This is line 152

Quote

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs))  {



Can someone please point me in the right direction as to where I'm going wrong?

Thanks!

Hi, I want to be able to retrieve records from db tables to build an xml file. The problem I am having is that I don't know how to retrieve a value after using foreign key to get appropriate value. You see below I want to make a new attribute to store to var $newAttr.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$doc=new DOMDocument();
mysql_connect("localhost","root");
mysql_select_db("xmlDB");

$edges=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM edge");
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($edges)) {
if($row['flag']=='val') {
$curValue=mysql_query("SELECT val FROM value,edge WHERE val.edge_id=edge.edge_id");
if($curRowIsAttribute=mysql_query("SELECT is_Attribute FROM value,edge WHERE value.is_Attribute='Y' AND value.edge_id=edge.edge_id")) {
//create attribute node
$newAttr=$dom->createAttribute();//HELP HERE PLEASE THEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE NEXT TWO LINES BELOW!

//set attribute value
...

//append attribute to current element
...

}//END IF
}//END IF
}//END BIG WHILE 
?>

Any help much appreciated!

I would need help in inserting into all table required data. any help? hope i am making sense

Hi All,

I am adding a button that will delete many things in the system which all have the same $job_id

There is going to be 10 or so tables that need to delete *  where $job_id = ?

Is there a better way to do this rather than just iterating my code 10 times.

I was looking at just joining but isnt one benefit of prepared statements that they can be used again and again to increase speed.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(tickets.id),tickets.id,tickets.status,tickets.date,tickets.question,tickets.title,users.position FROM tickets,users WHERE tickets.id='$existing' users.username='$username'");


How do I get it so it selects data from the table tickets where id='$existing', but I also want to get a user's (who is viewing the ID) position (rank). $username is a session. So, any thoughts on how I would do so?

My updated code:


<?php
session_start();
include("../includes/mysql.php");
include("../includes/config.php");

Hey,

I have a query running inner joins... which currently works, but I need some more information pulled from other tables...

Code: [Select]
define('WPSC_TABLE_PRODUCT_LIST', "{$wp_table_prefix}wpsc_product_list");
define('WPSC_TABLE_PRODUCTMETA', "{$wp_table_prefix}wpsc_productmeta");
define('WPSC_TABLE_CATREF', "{$wp_table_prefix}wpsc_item_category_assoc");
define('WPSC_TABLE_CATNAME', "{$wp_table_prefix}wpsc_product_categories");


$cf="Linked Products";
$sku = get_post_meta($post->ID, $cf, true);
$array = explode(",",$sku);

$products = array_count_values($array);

foreach($products as $key => $value) {
$product = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT meta.product_id AS pid, list.name AS name, list.price AS price, retailer.category_id AS catid FROM ".WPSC_TABLE_PRODUCTMETA." AS meta INNER JOIN ".WPSC_TABLE_PRODUCT_LIST." AS list ON ( list.id = meta.product_id ) INNER JOIN ".WPSC_TABLE_SHOPNAME." AS retailer ON ( retailer.product_id = meta.product_id ) WHERE `meta_key` IN ( 'sku' ) AND `meta_value` IN ( '{$key}' ) ORDER BY list.id DESC");
?>
But I also need the category name - So I have to cross reference the following...

wordpdem_wpsc_product_list

id      name
433   itemone
432   itemtwo
431   itemthree

wordpdem_wpsc_item_category_assoc

id   product_id    category_id
1    433                    1
2    432                    2
3    410                    3

wordpdem_wpsc_product_categories

id  name
1   Bread
2   Fish
3   Snacks

I've now written:
Code: [Select]
SELECT
meta.product_id AS pid,
list.name AS name,
list.price AS price,
retailer.category_id AS catid,
category.name AS catname

FROM wordpdem_wpsc_productmeta AS meta
INNER JOIN wordpdem_wpsc_product_list AS list ON ( list.id = meta.product_id )
INNER JOIN wordpdem_wpsc_item_category_assoc AS retailer ON ( retailer.product_id = meta.product_id )
INNER JOIN `wordpdem_wpsc_product_categories``wordpdem_wpsc_product_list` AS category ON ( retailer.category_id = category.id )
WHERE `meta_key` IN ( 'sku' ) AND `meta_value` IN ( '{$key}' ) ORDER BY list.id DESC
However it fails on line 12 (the Where statement...)

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

How do I search through table 1, 2, 3 where a=x and b=y and c=z?

Hi,

I'm very new to PHP and have managed to get through most of the problems I've encountered so far, but I have got to one point that I can't seem to solve.

I have two mysql tables (Categories & Products), I have a page that shows the categories (generated from the categories table) and when a category is selected it lists the products in that category.

Due to stock etc. not all categories always have products associated to them.

The Category & Product Tables are automatically updated, so what I need to do is only show categories that have products associated to them, both tables have a column category_no, and nothing I've tried so far seems to work.

The code I have so far is:-

Code: [Select]
Require_once('config.php');

Mysql_connect(db_host, db_user, db_password);

@mysql_select_db(db_database) or die( "unable to select database");

$query="select * from categories";

$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

Mysql_close();
Thanks

Pete

Hello

1) I am reading two good tutorials for building a search page with pagination:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/basic-pagination
http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/ss/php_pagination.htm
Before I ask the big question, I would like to know how does a query look like when searching multiple tables (e.g three) in the same time.
Table1/Table2/Table3.

May you kindly give me example?

2) The problem is that I have multiple tables with the same structure to search e.g. (title, body)
a) how I will know the ROWS NUMBER returned by the search query? it doesn't look a smart way to query each table and them count the results, and this basically takes much time right?
b) when displaying the result, how I will be able to set the correct hyperlink for each result?
you know, each table is a different subject, each one is located in different folder.

Thank you SO MUCH

hi everybody

simply love this forum because i always get the question perfectly answered.
i am here this time with a rather complicated question:
i am creating a simple duty plan for different departments for exeample department #1 is "Tech" and department #2 is  "Service" different employees working in these departments change their dutys and will are sent to another department or section or go on holidays. this is why i have at least  4 different mysql tables to store the data:-

personel(storing the personal information of the workers)
dutyplan(storing the week's working daysy of the workers)
departments(storing the starting and ending dates of the department change)
vacation(stores the start and ending dates of the vacations)

in all the tables the common id is the pid which is issued unique to every worker.

i am still able to work only with the 1st two tables. i can edit and create new plans for the weeks for employees
working in the departments with the following php code(submitting only to edit the plan)
if i add a date range for example Monday the 24th of January to Sunday the 30th of January for an employee working in the Tech department to work a few days in service department, it will show the employee in the week on the plan of both departments. if both department heads edit the plan without communicating to each other, and knowing on which date the worker goes out and in to the department, the 1st one will plan him for the whole week on his dutyplan and the second department head will overwrite this plan(if edited) or if creating a new plan(create the duty of the worker also one more time). i want to avoid this confusion and manual work.
the same is with the vacation or sickness tables, if the employee has vacation, the program should check and return the selected value in the pulldown menu with the value stored in the vacation or sickness tables appropriate to the date in the plan table.



************************************************************************
form.php:

  <?
require "config.php";

$result=mysql_query("select * from personel, dutyplan, department, vacation WHERE personel.pid = dutyplan.pid and

personel.pid = vacation.pid and dp.pid = departments.pid and departments.Section = 'Service' order by dp.id asc");
?>

              <?
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
?>


// after that i create table, displaying all the days of the week from monday to sunday and use this code
              <tr>
                <td><? echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName']; ?>: </td>
                <td>
                  <select name="monday_<? echo $row['id']; ?>" id="select1">
                    <option><? echo $row['Mo']; ?></option>
                    <option>Duty</option>
                     <option>Free</option>
                    <option>Vacation</option>

//the same way down to sunday, for every day the different options to be selected. it displays the records

perfectly, as long as there is no change of department planed and the vacation must also be selected manually.
