It has stopped giving the error but it isn't updating the table. Am I doing
something wrong?
line 4 shows print(your name is $name); The user name is printed to the
browser but it simply will not update the table.
$query = SELECT name FROM users WHERE uid={$session[uid]};
$ret = mysql_query($query);
while(list($name) = mysql_fetch_row($ret))
print (your name is $name);
$update = $name;
$query_update[name] = UPDATE my_items SET name = $update;
$result = mysql_query($query_update[name])or die(Error: .mysql_error());
Is this your latest code? You still don't have quotes around $update, if so.
Nothing returned in the .mysql_error()?
Can you run the query by hand?

Re: [PHP-DB] storing PDF in a database
You'd want to use a BLOB field to store it. It would be stored as raw data in the db. For an example, go find a tutorial on how to store images in the database. It would work the same way.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Again Select then update
Hi Bill,
No it isn't the latest it is updated with the quotes and slashes in the
script.
I have found that even if I put my name Jen as $update it still wont update
the table.
$update = Jen
There is no error and the script acts like it work fine without updating.
I just did a test.php script and ran it. It will print the user name but
still wont update the table.
This has me totally stumped.
Thanks
Jen

[PHP-DB] Speed Up Code?
Here is some code I have for an index page of people who post
charts on the Web, kind of like Yahoo Photos or something.
It displays the album title, number of images and date of last
upload. The page takes about 5-6 seconds to load which is all
in the queries I'm sure. Is there a way I can make this more efficient?

[PHP-DB] update
Hi there, I have a system for updating whereby you select the country/continent from a db then edit the record and update it and it works perfectly - that is until there is a in the update $country set - so if it says Africa it updates fine, but if $country = Asia The Orient it doesn't update, any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks everyone. Chris
Re: [PHP-DB] update
Looking at the below, I think it might be spaces in the query - how can I rectify this? Thanks :-) Chris Hi there, I have a system for updating whereby you select the country/continent from a db then edit the record and update it and it works perfectly - that is until there is a in the update $country set - so if it says Africa it updates fine, but if $country = Asia The Orient it doesn't update, any ideas how I can fix this?

Re: [PHP-DB] storing PDF in a database
I have the same need for all sorts of doc types w/ m$ sql server. The wrox 'professional sql server programming' talks about this issue of storing file type data in a table row briefly, leaving me disheartned. basically, the summation of the issue is it's a really bad idea performance wise--like it can bring the server down to its knees, because essentially (as I understand it) there is a 3 part method of abstraction where sql server actually puts your data into its own discreet file which is accessed via the sql server on a per-query basis. ouch. This sorta contradicts the fuzzy marketing-type hype I've read elsewhere that suggests using the IMAGE data type to store .doc or .xls data with a full-text index to make it searchable. I don't know if the sybase system has a comprable data type, but that would be the solution on the m$ side in theory, though in practice, the wrox book steers you away from putting documents in the rdbms. I hope I'm wrong and someone else is doing this and can post a workable solution. kevin Alain DESEINE [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/24/02 05:36 AM Hello, For many different reasons, like security ans soùme other one, i need to store PDF files in a database. - Does anybody have already do this ? - What kind of field type should i use (image filed type ???) ?
