Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL/PHP Form Addslashes() command
Alright, you have a textarea in a form, say some one
right this:
Today, during the meeting blah blah blah... (now they
want to start a new paragraph, so they press enter
twice.)
After the construction meeting blah blah blah...
Ok... Now the question. The addslashes() command
won't add the NULL spots to make it a new paragraph
when you open this row in a page. How do I get that
to work...
Thank You,

Od: "magor" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Temat: [PHP-DB] Problems with character sets Hello everybody, I have problems concerning character sets.I use InterBase database. I have data in columns with character set NONE, but the data is in fact in win1250 coding. I have other columns with character set WIN1250. I want to from these NONE columns to these WIN1250 columns, but InterBase does not let me. There's only one thing you can do without moving whole data to new - properly defined - database.

Re: [PHP-DB] $result = true or false??
The "mysql_db_query()" and "mysql_query()" functions only return false (0)
when you have an error in your query or parameter definition, otherwise they
always return a positive result identifier. So, if you must know if is there
any valid record you should ask for the row number returned :
// Check if a valid result has records
if(mysql_num_rows($result) 0){
// stuff
}
else{
// No records procedure
}

Assunto: [PHP-DB] $result = true or false??
Hi,
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM employees where first = '$login'";
$result = mysql_db_query ("mydb", $sql);
echo "$result";
If I run this cose then $result always = Resource id #2 even if $login is
not a member of the database.
Is there anyway I can get it to output true if $login is a member and false
if $login is not a member? or at least get $result to be different if $login
is in the database to that when it is not?
Thanks,
Kevin.

Re: [PHP-DB] pop up windows
Hi John,
The essential difference between PHP and JavaScript is that PHP is
server-side and JavaScript client side. What this means is that when a
user requests a PHP page, all the functions, commands etc are run on the
server and then sent to the users machine, where as with JS the code is
effectively downloaded to the users machine and then run there.
In practice this means that anything which involves manipulating the users
computer (as opposed to just displaying output, which is what PHP does)
can only be done in JavaScript. Hence pop-up windows, which are
mainuplations of the users machine, are impossible in PHP alone.
However, what is possible, and I've found very powerful, is to use PHP to
create dynamic JS.
Essentially you use PHP to make JS in the same way it makes html
eg.
SCRIPT
alert('?echo($user);?');
/SCRIPT
What would happen here is that the php parser on the server would run
first, and replace the echo statement with the value of $users, and then
return the javascript for the users machine to process, ie the user in
this case would recieve the following (assuming $user="bjorn"):
SCRIPT
alert('bjorn');
/SCRIPT
Hope this helps,
Tom

an alert "command" that will cause a message box to popup. Is there a way
to do it in php. Better information would be to tell me where I could find
it in the documentation.
Thanks,
John Miller
