Re: [PHP-DB] determining the value of an auto-incremented field (mysql)

2001-08-16 Thread Kenn Murrah

I'm sorry to be so obtuse, but I still don't get it ...

I've tried:

$sql = INSERT INTO orders set products_ordered='$products',
ordered_by='$username', company='$company', address_1='$address_1',
address_2='$address_2', city='$city', state='$state', zip='$zip',
attn='$attn', special_instructions='$special_instructions',
shipping_instructions='$shipping_instructions', status='$status',
rush='$rush', date_ordered='$current_time' , month_due='$month_due',
day_due='$day_due'
  ;

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(ERROR -- try again11 or see Kenn
Murrah);

$order_number=mysql_insert_id;


 and I'm still not getting a value for $order_number, the
auto-incremented value.

I'm REALLY sorry to waste the list's time with this ... but I do appreciate
the help from all of you ...

Kenn

| Say...
|
|
| You can us it after you do your insert...then do something like.
|
| echo (BYour new Order Number is) . mysql_insert_id . (nbsp;Please
| write this down/B\n);
|
| Your whatever you want.

|  |  field (mysql)
|  | 
|  |  Greetings:
|  | 
|  |  A no doubt elementary question, but 
|  | 
|  |  using PHP and MySQL, I'm inserting a record into a table, with a
|  |  field,
|  |  order_number, being auto incremented ... something like:
|  | 
|  | 
|  |  $sql = INSERT INTO orders set products_ordered='$products',
|  |  ordered_by='$username', company='$company',
|  address_1='$address_1',
|  |  address_2='$address_2', city='$city', state='$state', zip='$zip',
|  |  attn='$attn', special_instructions='$special_instructions',
|  |  shipping_instructions='$shipping_instructions', status='$status',
|  |  rush='$rush', date_ordered='$current_time' ,
|  month_due='$month_due',
|  |  day_due='$day_due'
|  |;
|  | 
|  |  $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(ERROR -- try again);
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  |  Having done so, how can I immediately determine the  value of
|  |  order_number
|  |  for this entry, i.e. the auto-incremented value assigned by MySQL?
|  | 
|  |  Thanks in advance for the help.

[PHP-DB] new lines in text field

2001-07-30 Thread Kenn Murrah

Greetings.

I'm trying to concatenate several values entered in my form, then write them
to a TEXT field in my mySQL database.  All is well, except that I want to
each value to appear on a different line.  I've tried \n and that didn't
work.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Kenn
