Yeah, I know about MySQL's regexp, but that didn't seem terribly efficient. For
small databases, under a million records, I prefer to trade space for time.

I've never used the regexp in MySQL, so I have no idea how it impacts
performance; I just saw it in the manual (where the comments confirm
that REGEXP does not use indexes - yuk).
In some cases, I agree with you that a small tradeoff in space to save
time is worthwhile. In this case though, I think it would work to say
WHERE foo BETWEEN '0' AND '9' and WHERE foo LIKE 'a%' since both are
able to use an existing index and don't need to maintain an additional
column.

Maintaining that extra column is like a one liner in the insert code.
Also the width of the field at one byte is pretty teency... a few more
bytes if you use UTF and plan to index non ascii characters. Since this
is a library of wine, it's more likely the case of occasional insert and
many many reads. So I think this is an exemplary candidate for a
separate indexed field.
Cheers,
Rob.

Also agreed. See? I can be rather agreeable. :-)
I'm not saying that what you proposed is a bad solution. I'll even
grant that in some cases it can be an excellent solution. I just don't
think it's necessary in THIS case.

Are you sure LIKE isn't working? I would think LIKE "a%" would work. For
0-9, I would think you can use <= 9 or you can use BETWEEN 0 and 9.
</clip>
Silly me, the reason it was not working was I am so used to %something% and
used that instead of
something%
Anyway, it was a not a useless post for me because the 0-9 part was not solved
in my head but a lot of interesting replies as to how to do it.
Thanks everyone!

TGIF?
Apparently my brain isn't working this Friday.
I'm trying to query my table to get the first 16 ID's. I then want
to assign the ID's to a variable and have them comma seperated.
// My query to select the first 16 rows
$get_charges2 = "SELECT FIRST 16 * FROM history WHERE id = '$id";
// Executing the query
$charge_result2 = ifx_query ($get_charges2, $connect_id);
How would I assign the result to a variable?
For instance, say my query returns rows like:
1234
1235
1236
1237
1238
1239
How would I go about putting that in a variable to equal
"1234,1235,1236,1237,1238,1239" ?

I think someone's already used foreach() in an answer, but I don't see
the point in building an array and then immediately joining it to a
string and discarding the array...
$t = '';
foreach($resultset as $row)
$t .= ',' . $row;
Done and done.

Gah. Well, same amount of work, I guess, since you'll need to either
trim the first comma or add the first row before the foreach() loop.

Thanks all!
It works and here is the code I used:
$get_charges2 = "SELECT FIRST 16 * FROM history WHERE id = '$id";
$charge_result2 = ifx_query ($get_charges2, $connect_id);
while ($charge_row2 = ifx_fetch_row($charge_result2)) {
$charges .= $charge_row2['id'].",";
}

Or, if your mysql version allows it:
SELECT 1, GROUP_CONCAT(some_col) FROM history GROUP BY 1 LIMIT 0,16
That would take away the need to create a comma seperated string in php,
because mysql will have already done it for you ;-)

Isn't the idea of getting different screen shots about SEEING how the page
looks on various system configurations? Windows, Mac, *nix then throw in
various browsers like IE, FF, Opera, Google?
This is the service that I thought these other companies provided. You could
probably do something like this on one computer by having VMWare (or similar)
software running to see all the different renderings.

You don't have to be, you just have to read the error message. If
you copied that verbatim, then 'this was a url to a .js file' exists
on line 4 of .php in /var/www/html/path, and PHP failed to open it.
Make sure the file exists exactly where PHP is looking for it, and
that it's accessible and readable to and by the user as which the
server is running when executing `.php` in /var/www/html/path, and
that the target file can be found from that directory.

I think I fixed it. The error said that the file script.js, line 4 of the code,
could not be found:
4 <? require ("http://path/to/the/file/script.js";)?>
I changed the line to this and it now works:
<? require ("script.js") ?>
I wonder why on the old server it could find the file based on the full url
while the new server cannot find the file with the full url.

Probably because in your new system it has this in your php.ini file
allow_url_include = Off
Change it to this
allow_url_include = On
Restart your webserver and it should probably work just fine.
You might also want to check into this option too.
allow_url_fopen = Off
Change it to
allow_url_fopen = On
if you would like to allow the opening of remote files via
fopen/file_get_contents/etc...
