I have a small web site running from mySQL.

If it was me I would use extra tables for the first few levels... You can use a self referencing table (which is what you are trying to do) but IMHO the extra tables approach provides more speed and flexibility. Otherwise I can't see a reason why the query you are trying should not work.. a better and (usually) faster approach is to use another table to store the record numbers eg.. Table - record_numbers RECNUM_PKEY (Primary Key) (this holds the Table ID or Key eg "L1", "L2" etc) RECNUM_VALUE (holds the next record number) you could easily write a php function to get the next record number for any table.. This may be overkill for your project but it is very flexible .

[PHP-DB] managing large result sets
I have to deal with displaying result sets that could potentially be quite large. It would be bad form to drop 10,000 rows into a browser table so I need a strategy for dealing with this possibility. It's obviously not a big deal to limit the output but what is the typical strategy for handling next previous behavior? It seems terribly inefficient to requery for a subset each time.

Subject: [PHP-DB] global vars
I am working with global variables and functions, specifically calling a
function inside another function.
I checked the online docs and don't see any problems with what i have... i
declare the table_name as global inall functions
What I am trying to do is DELETE all entries for a uid before INSERTING the
new skills
my insert_skills() calls the function to DELETE entries and then the
function that creates the INSERT query
the lookup_skills table columns looks like this.
| id | uid | skills_id |
here are a couple excerpts from my code:
table_name = "lookup_skills";
...
function insert_skills($uid, $skills) {
global $table_name;
purge_lookup($table_name, "1");
$query = create_checkbox_query($skills, $table_name, "1");
...
function purge_lookup($table, $uid) {
global $table_name;
$q = "DELETE FROM $table, WHERE uid = $uid";
mysql_query($q);
}
...
function create_checkbox_query($arr, $table, $uid) {
global $table_name;
$q = "INSERT INTO $table (uid, skill_id) VALUES";
foreach ($arr as $check) {
$q .= " ( $uid , $check )" . ",";
}
return substr($q, 0, -1);

Anyone have experience with this problem? It may seen inefficient, but a new query each time is the way to handle it. If you are using MySQL look at the LIMIT clause. SELECT whatever FROM someTable LIMIT start, count Start is the record number of the first entry to return. Count is how many to return. I believe you will find this is not as inefficient as it may seem as it is a common thing to do and the people who wrote MySQL know it. I believe you can count on the database to cache the result set for you, and handle garbage collection if you don't hit it often enough.

No. And there are all these built in mssql_connect() etc functions in PHP already, how would FreeTDS effect that? It lets you use them. There are two ways to talk to an SQL server, ODBC (in which case you'd use the odbc_* functions) or TDS (using the sybase_* or mssql_* functions). You'll need support installed on your linux box for at least one of these protocols. All the unix based ODBC stuff I've seen also _requires_ software to be installed on your SQL server. TDS does not; think of it as the 'native' protocol spoken by the MS SQL server (and Sybase servers actually). It's _way_ easier than ODBC (I never could get ODBC support installed and working on our Digital Unix machines). FreeTDS is a free, open source implementation of the TDS protocol. I guess I was hoping this would be simple, like mySQL connectivity was... It's no more work than MySQL. In order to compile PHP with MySQL support, you first had to install MySQL. In order to talk to a Sybase or MS SQL server, you need to install TDS. FreeTDS is very easy to install. You should be able to install FreeTDS and recompile PHP in under an hour. The only tricky part is knowing what port the SQL server listens on (the default is 1433). Feel free to email me if you need more help. By the way, I understand there are major issues with SQL2000 server. In that case, ODBC might be a better choice. - Darryl -- Darryl Friesen, B.Sc., Programmer/Analyst[EMAIL PROTECTED] Education Research Technology Services, http://gollum.usask.ca/ Department of Computing Services, University of Saskatchewan -- "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes" -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP-DB] help with a parse error
You didn't mention if the parse error was coming from PHP or from MySQL.
The PHP syntax looks okay to me at first glance (that is, a quick look
through indicates that there appears to be appropriate numbers of
semicolons and closing braces).
So perhaps the thing issuing the parse error is MySQL? In that case, I'd
hazard a guess that you don't have a table named products. Check the
spelling, capitalization, whether it's the plural "products" or the
singular "product." What helps me say this is that the INSERT statement
above your line 52 inserts into a table called "JShistbau" and your SELECT
statement appears to pull data from a table called "products." I'm not
saying that that's necessarily wrong, because it could very well be
perfectly valid. But without knowing more about your database layout,
that's all I can think of.
By the way, (and it shouldn't matter...) but have you also tried removing
the space in the "end if;" (part of your larger if:-else:-endif;
statement)? I personally don't use that alternative syntax, so I don't
know if the space matters.
