I guess this all is in a form
so on the next page it should be in:
echo $_POST[department];
or in
echo $department depending on the php version

Re: [PHP-DB] Passing selection to next page
Hi,
you have to put this list in a form...
form name=select_name action=eval.php method=post
select
option
/select
/form
in eval.php you may write like:
$variable1=$_POST['select_name'];
//and variable1 is now the option_value selected
echo $variable1;
where option_value is the value written in the list...generated by php
if I have a list with 4 values like:
option value=onevalue number one-first/option
option value=twovalue number two -second/option
option value=threevalue number three -third/option
option value=fourvalue number four fourth/option
here the option_value is one or two or three or four
so variable1 is now passed from one page to another..
if you have any questions or you are of a different opinion write to me again

Re: [PHP-DB] trees in MySQL
If you don't know how many nodes you're going to have and the amount of branches under each node, then that's the only way to do it. However, if you can define those numbers, you can use something like the following. A manager would have 50 numbers, for example. So, rather than counting through the tree to determine left and right pairs, the first manager simply has left:1 and right:51. Now, a section leader (SL) under him has 10 numbers (so a manager can have 5 section leaders). The first section manager would have 2 - 11, the second 12 - 21, etc. Now each section leader can have an employee (E) that gets an adjacent left and right pair (so they are a leaf with nothing under them). Something like this, hopefully the formatting remains. Manager 150 | /\ SL SL 2 1112-21 | | / \ E E E 13-14 3-4 5-6 So if you count around the tree, you see it still goes in order, but it leaves holes where you can fill people in. So, if you can assign specific limits like that, to add a new section leader under this manager, you simply select the largest right number for the current section leaders, which will be 21, and add 10 to that, so the new section leader would have numbers 22-31. Manager 150 | / \ / |\ SL SL SL 2 1112 21 22 31 | | / \ E EE13-14 3-4 5-6 That's probably confusing, but it works on paper for well defined trees. I can explain in more detail if you're interested, but I don't know if it applies to your situation or not. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: José Moreira [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Php-Db (Correio electrónico) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 11:45 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] trees in MySQL hello im implementing a portal and im choosing between the 'Nested Set' and 'Adjacency Lists tree' models. http://users.starpower.net/rjhalljr/Serve/MySQL/traer.html im perfectly aware of the 'Adjacency Lists tree' model how-to and I am studying the 'Nested Set', example follows : CREATE TABLE LanguageTree ( Language VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY , Parent VARCHAR(255) , Lft LONG , Rgt LONG , INDEX idxLft (Lft) , INDEX idxRgt (Rgt) ) Comment = Related languages; A[1 12] / \ / \ B[2 3] C[4 11] / \ /\ D[5 8] F[9 10] | E[6 7] my doubt is that if i want to insert a new node, for example 'G' under 'A' A[1 12] / | \ / \ B[2 3]G[] C[4 11] / \ / \ D[5 8] F[9 10] | E[6 7] i have? to update almost every left,righ fields after that node, resulting in a website performance downgrade help? even if thjats the only way, how can i do it? perhaps im getting it wrong ... best regards José Moreira TEGOPI S.A. http://www.tegopi.pt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The difficulty you are being confronting could be alleviated by using an XML data model (meaning non relational).

RE: [PHP-DB] trees in MySQL
thank you for your help, the portal will (problably) use sort of a directory index where a node can be a folder to go 'inside' or a portlet like moduled application like a forum, or a partial download list ( depending on current node ). knowing that the 'Adjacency Lists tree' and a bunch of tables would be more easy to implement i believe the 'Nested Set', few tables ( the tree, users, permissions and a table for each type of portlet,) and a buch of SQL statements would be more eficient considering scalability ... correct me if im wrong :) the first node levels will have just a few very slowly increasing branches but the forum branch will be more dynamic depending on site success. perhaps the 5 or 10 seccions will be sufficientin these first levels and could use a 1000 unit difference for the more dinamic. perhaps using also a automated trigger PHP procedure to increase the number of series when the difference becomes low. tree theory is very interesting and has much to offer in terms of knowledge ... -Mensagem original- De: 1LT John W.

I can explain in more detail if you're interested, but I don't know if it applies to your situation or not. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: José Moreira [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Php-Db (Correio electrónico) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 11:45 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] trees in MySQL hello im implementing a portal and im choosing between the 'Nested Set' and 'Adjacency Lists tree' models. http://users.starpower.net/rjhalljr/Serve/MySQL/traer.html im perfectly aware of the 'Adjacency Lists tree' model how-to and I am studying the 'Nested Set', example follows : CREATE TABLE LanguageTree ( Language VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY , Parent VARCHAR(255) , Lft LONG , Rgt LONG , INDEX idxLft (Lft) , INDEX idxRgt (Rgt) ) Comment = Related languages; A[1 12] / \ / \ B[2 3] C[4 11] / \ /\ D[5 8] F[9 10] | E[6 7] my doubt is that if i want to insert a new node, for example 'G' under 'A' A[1 12] / | \ / \ B[2 3]G[] C[4 11] / \ / \ D[5 8] F[9 10] | E[6 7] i have? to update almost every left,righ fields after that node, resulting in a website performance downgrade help? even if thjats the only way, how can i do it? perhaps im getting it wrong ... best regards José Moreira TEGOPI S.A. http://www.tegopi.pt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP-DB] trees in MySQL
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=%22SQL+for+Smarties%22btnG=Froogle+Sear ch Chaps 28 29. (ok, I had to read both but it sounds like you already understand the concepts.) The end of chap 29 he gives a simple example for maintaining what you are talking about. I used it to write a dynamic menu system for a web portal for a client. It is possible to do and not terribly difficult. Given the lack of stored procedures you do end up executing 8-10 sql commands one after the other but if you are using a transaction safe table type (*COUGH*InnoDB*COUGH*) then it works pretty good. Unlike one of the suggestions I read here, this system doesn't like holes in the numbers. But he gives code for adding and subtracting nodes. By combining the two, I actually made it so the client could move entire branches.

Re: [PHP-DB] Help with connecting PHP/MySQL to MS Outlook
Chris, Does anyone know of a way to retrieve MS Outlook data via PHP? I am creating an intrant for my company and want to grab data from the MS Oulook contact list on the server to using in my PHP/MySQL intranet project. Any help would be most appreciated. Rather than using PHP to go 'into' Outlook, doesn't OL have an export function you could use to put it into some mid-step file format and then read that into PHP?

Re: [PHP-DB] picture into mysql (file address)

mine are turned off (for several reasons.
Do I have a typo somewhere? where does my full path start etc.
the actual folder is in: c:\apache\htdocs\seabird.jmtech.ca\otf.com\images
pls help me.

My typical usage is:

$img_dir = ../photos; // must be 777 access
if($datafile_name != ) {

$newFileName = $datafile_name;

} else {
$errmsg = bcopying $newFileName succeeded/bbr;

RE: [PHP-DB] extracting data
You can actually do this from any machine, although you will need an ODBC driver on the Linux/Mac OS X/Unix side. Another alternative is to dump the .mdb to mysql format and move it over. But ODBC is the way to go. Beginning PHP Databases from Wrox cover this a lot, but you can get started with just a DSN and a basic odbc_connect. Create it as a System DSN - it will cause less problems. If you are on a *nix or Mac OS X, then you will want to tell the PHP script where the files are that contain the DSN (odbc.ini) and the ODBC Driver Manager (libiodbc.so). There are basic examples and explanations in the HOWTO at www.iodbc.org. It's *nix geared, but just remove the putenv()'s at the beninning of the examples and they will work fine.

RE: [PHP-DB] Catalog
Don't be offended: SQL For Dummies One of the best SQL primers I've ever read. I STILL keep my copy handy. Once you get through that and a few thousand queries under your belt, Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties is a great reference. (I recommended it earlier today to someone, dig that out and it's got a URL) Depending on the products in your catalog, this could be a daunting. I've got 1 catalog system that has 10 tables just to describe the products. (All interrelated, makes for a pretty ER diagram!) But if your needs are simple AND well defined, it could be a good starter project. Oh, and don't forget Paul Dubois book on MySQL. I've not yet purchased a copy (sorry Paul) but the parts I've leafed through at the bookstore looked very good. Also, join the MySQL mailing list.

[PHP-DB] Theory help needed
Hi there everyone, I have a messageboard which works, but what I need is some kind of threading for it. Right now I have EXTREMELY basic threading, where you can reply to a message, reply to replies etc . and they'll appear in the correct part of the messageboard. What I need though is to be able to do proper threading, where each reply appears under the original message and not all over the place, but i'm confused as hell. Anyway have any experience with this kind of thing and can give me a push in the right direction? I know I need to store the original ID, the forum ID, the message ID of the current message and the ID it relates to, but it's getting confusing :-) Thanks. Chris
