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 have following piece of code below, and I would like to be able to express it pure SQL, something that could go into a .sql file :

$request_string='SELECT topic_forum_id FROM topic_table WHERE topic_id= 2014';
$query=database->prepare($request_string);
$query->execute();
$data=$query->fetch();
$query->closeCursor();
$forum=$data['topic_forum_id'];

$request_string='INSERT INTO post_table
(post_topic,post_forum) VALUES (2014,:forum)';
$query=database->prepare($request_string);
$query->bindValue(':forum',$forum,PDO::PARAM_INT);
$query->execute();
$data=$query->fetch();
$query->closeCursor();

  Is it possible ?

So i have this php as shown below. It should make a list of comments with comment replies below their comment respectively.

The problem is that it only goes through and shows 1 comment and all the comment replies for that one comment. It should be showing all comments i have in the db for that article.

If i remove the second while then it shows all the comments correctly but no comment replies then...

How do i get this script to loop through the db for every comment but also loop through every comment reply for that $row[id]?

If anyone has a better / more efficient way of what I am trying to do, please explain or show example (i am open to anything)...

Code: [Select]
// what article are we showing?
$article_to_show_id = $_GET['article_id'];


$active_is_set_text = "1"; // Active Column text that makes it okay to show

// Finding the article
$search_for_article = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id = '$article_to_show_id' AND active = '$active_is_set_text'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($search_for_article))
{
// format the last updated date right
$update_date_edit = $row[update_date];

$update_date_edit = date('F j, Y \a\t h:ia', $update_date_edit);

$row[update_date] = $update_date_edit;



// format the submit updat date right
$submit_date_edit = $row[submit_date];

$submit_date_edit = date('F j, Y \a\t h:ia', $submit_date_edit);

$row[submit_date] = $submit_date_edit;


echo '

<input type="hidden" name="article_id" value="', $row[id] ,'" />
<button name="article_reply" type="submit" value="submit">Reply</button>
</form>

';

}

$comment_count = 0;
$comment_reply_count = 0;

// Finding all of the comments
$search_for_article = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM article_comments WHERE article_id = '$article_to_show_id' AND reply_id = '0'");

while($row_comment = mysql_fetch_array($search_for_article))
{
// format the submit updat date right
$comment_date_edit = $row_comment[comment_date];

$comment_date_edit = date('F j, Y \a\t h:ia', $comment_date_edit);

$row_comment[comment_date] = $comment_date_edit;

echo '

Need some help I have 2 tables in a database and I need to search the first table and use the results from that search, to search another table, can this be done? and if it can how would you recommend that I go about it?

Thanks For Your Help Guys! 

I am having issues in writing a program. The basic idea is a internet radio website. I have a page listing all shows on the station with a brief description. When you click on a specific show from that page, i need it to open a page showing more detail on just that show. The show list page is loading with no problem, but the show detail pages keep coming up with "Error in your sql syntax at line 1"

See what I have at http://www.eliteweboffers.com/lwrs/shows.php

Here is the code from config.php

Code: [Select]
<?php

mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);

mysql_select_db($db);

//Functions

function show_list()

{

$query = "SELECT * FROM shows"; 
 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
 echo " <table border='0'>
         <tr>
          <td rowspan='2'>
           <a href='". $site ."show_page.php?". $row['id'] ."' name='show_id' value='". $row['id'] ."'>
           <img src='". $site,$row['picture'] ."' height='180' width='180'></img></a>
  </td>
          <td> "
           . $row['show'] .
" </td>
         </tr>
 <tr>
          <td> "
           . $row['description-short'] .
        " </td>
 </tr>
        </table> ";}
}

function show_page()

{

$show_id=$_POST[show_id];

$query = "SELECT * FROM shows WHERE id = $show_id"; 
 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
 echo " <table border='0'>
         <tr>
          <td rowspan='2'>
           <img src='". $site,$row['picture'] ."' height='180' width='180'></img>
  </td>
          <td> "
           . $row['show'] .
" </td>
         </tr>
 <tr>
          <td> "
           . $row['description-short'] .
        " </td>
 </tr>
        </table> ";}

}

?>

If i change the line
Code: [Select]
$show_id=$_POST[show_id];to
Code: [Select]
$show_id=1;
It loads the show detail page properly for the first show. I don't want to have to use "if" statements for every single show id.

What am I doing wrong ? Can anyone help ???

Here is the code from shows.php

Code: [Select]
<?php

include ('/home/ansonb/lwr_config.php');

show_list();


?>

Here is the code from show_page.php

Code: [Select]
<?php

include ('/home/ansonb/lwr_config.php');

show_page();


?>


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you !

Need help with php/sql. When I add a drink to the cart, only the quantity increases, but the item does not go to the cart. Check it out on my website http://fhcs.be/cart-demo2/

I have been putting together a small project with an MySQL db and php. I am having trouble passing a date variable from a text input into a sql statement within php. I think I am going about this in the right way but I am confused as to what I need to do to finish off the code and make it work.
$data = $_POST['datepicker'];  //this line gets the string from the form text input box and assigns to var $data
$time = strtotime($data); //this line converts the string $data to time (strtotime) and = $time unix time stamp
$mydate = date('Y m d',$time); //this line formats date into Y m d from the time stamp $time and = $mydate
echo $mydate; //print to screen as test function to view


and the following sql called from php
$result = mysql_query( //collects that data from the table
"SELECT Room.roomName, booking.*
FROM Room, booking
WHERE (bookingDate = . "$mydate" .) AND booking.roomID = Room.roomID
ORDER BY roomName, startTime"
);

Thanks in advance for any guidance

Hi all

I am am trying to use the following piece of code to import a CSV file into a mySQL database:

Code: [Select]
$filename = $_FILES['sel_file']['tmp_name'];
         $handle = fopen($filename, "r");
         while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)
         {
         mysql_query("INSERT INTO user SET id = '".$userid."', name = '".$data[0]."', email = '".$data[1]."', phone = '".$data[2]."'") or die(mysql_error());
         }
    fclose($handle);

It works great except it only imports one line in the CSV file. How do I get it to keep adding the lines into the DB?

My CSV looks like this:

Pete Naylor,test@mail.com,0800101101
Bob Jones,bob@mail.com,08700123123

Many thanks for for help

Pete

Hi everyone! I am stuck!

SELECT config FROM inettuts WHERE user_id='5'

This config pulls out this data:

Code: [Select]
PostInfo,color-grey,User Info,not-collapsed|Twitter,color-grey,Twitter,not-collapsed;AboutMe,color-grey,AboutMe,not-collapsed|Signature,color-grey,Signature,not-collapsed
From a Text field in the mysql db, it then it is translated from jquery to show a portable iGoogle like page.

But the problem is, I need to make the query select everything but the "Twitter,color-grey,Twitter,not-collapsed" (TWITTER PART) how is this possible?

Hi Chaps,

I've got something of a mixed bag, in which I need some help with a MySQL query and PHP to display the results correctly.

I'm basically after the following:

Query to produce results of; invoice_item_price of all jobs that include a Typesetting task and all of those that don't.

The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to get the correct SUMtotal of the invoice_item_price, when searching through the tbl_task_item, to see if a Typesetting task has been completed. In trying to do this, it multiplies the invoice_item_price by the amount of tasks within a job.

The second problem I'm having is in presenting the results in the correct way. From my example below, you can see what I'm trying to achieve. The 'commented-out' PHP code, should 'GROUP' the JobType results, just like how the 'the_month' is working. But again, becoming a bit stuck in getting this to work too.

If anyone can help me out in getting this to display correctly, it'll be highly appreciated.

in php you have the following mysql API fetch commands:
■mysql_fetch_array — Fetch a result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both
■mysql_fetch_assoc — Fetch a result row as an associative array
■mysql_fetch_field — Get column information from a result and return as an object
■mysql_fetch_lengths — Get the length of each output in a result
■mysql_fetch_object — Fetch a result row as an object
■mysql_fetch_row — Get a result row as an enumerated array

If u use one of them for example i use mysql_fetch_object.
Code: [Select]
$run = mysql_query(SELECT `status` FROM `[settings]` WHERE `name`= *);
$display = mysql_fetch_object($run); other example
Code: [Select]
$run = mysql_query(SELECT `status` FROM `[settings]` WHERE `name`= 'abusing' AND `name`= 'hacking' AND `name`= 'cracking');
$display = mysql_fetch_object($run); When i do
Code: [Select]
$display->somethingIt wil assign the SELECT condition
i want to assign the WHERE condition. the value of it.
like i want to do this
Code: [Select]
$display->WHERE->hackinghow to do this?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but here we go. I just wanted to know if I could insert into a MySQL database table a PHP conditional statement. I mean I am able to add this data to the table but when I grab that info from the table and echo it out to the browser it does not get displayed correctly. What I am trying to do is add a small login form into the table and render it out but I see the acutal code instead of the form. If I removed all PHP code the form will render correctly. So I was thinking either I cant add PHP or I am doing it wrong.
