Re: [PHP-DB] Text area
Hafidz
Textarea is not a classic input type. Try:
function write_textarea()
{
return textarea rows=5 cols=70 name=/textarea;
}
- Original Message -
Hi again, everyone.
I also have a problem creating my text area. I meant to do a text area
(measuring 5 rows by 70 columns) which accompanies the words: First 50
words are free. Subsequent 50 words or part thereof, $50 will be
charged:
function write_textarea()
{
return input type=textarea rows=5 cols=70 name=;
}
Doesn't work. How can I make it work?
Thanks regards,
Hafidz

Re: [PHP-DB] PEAR::DB question
Jake Dunno if this will help, whether you're using MySQL or whether it works in PEAR. Look up mysql_data_seek() in the php manual. Cheers Terry --Original Message- Hello- I'm using the fetch method to get a result set. ie- $sql = select id,name from sr_names order by name; $result = $db-query($sql); while ( $row = $result-fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC) ) echo $row['id'] . ' ' . $row['name'] . br; This works great! Now, I want to _re-use_ this result set without having to re-query the database. Then cycle through the result set. ie - $result-someFunction(); while ( $row = $result-fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC) ) echo $row['id'] . ' ' . $row['name'] . br; So, the output here would be two of whatever was output. Does that make sense? Right now I'm having to do this: $sql = select id,name from sr_names order by name; $result = $db-query($sql); while ( $row = $result-fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC) ) echo $row['id'] . ' ' . $row['name'] . br; $result = $db-query($sql); while ( $row = $result-fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC) ) echo $row['id'] . ' ' . $row['name'] . br; If I already have the result set, can't I just tell it hey, put the cursor back at the top. I know I can fetchRow from a specific row in the result set, but then I'd have to get every row that way, which doesn't make efficiency sense, either.

Re: [PHP-DB] WHY need to query 2x to get results
Because you have already fetched one row before outputting the record
count. Therefore the row pointer is at the second record before you 'print
out'.
Try putting
mysql_data_seek($result,0);
in place of your second
$result = mysql_query($sql);
This should return the pointer to the first retreived record.
Hope that helps

Hi,

If I don't have it, the results coming out will only start printing
from the
2nd Row.. Omitting the 1st.
Results as wanted
row 1 value1
row 2 value2
row 3 value3
Getting this instead
row 2 value2
row 3 value3

$result = mysql_query($sql);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo 'ph4There are ' . $num_results;

RE: [PHP-DB] HEAP table
Thanks, Daevid I'll probably use something with session variables. However, what I wish is that there was some kind of application-wide variables, as can be set in ColdFusion, that could track this.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array issues.
As far as I know, that error means that the query that was supposed to
produce $result did not run because of errors in the SQL (or the
database).
Suggest you check your query in myPHPAdmin or MySQLfront or whatever to be
sure that it has no errors.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: PHP help
Surely this will fail because $login has not been defined, by use of
something like
$login = $_REQUEST['login'];
I tried the naked code as given, and (as expected) got an error -
undefined variable - $login
I was under the impression that had to be done for all 'incoming', if it
was to be used for anything.

Hello all, I am a PHP beginner and was wondering if I could get some
help from some of the more experienced on this list. I have been
trying to use an html form (with textboxes, radio buttons, and
textareas) to input data into a mysql database. I am able to connect
fully with the database and am able to create tables in it, but when I
try to input information into the tables nothing happens. ever... I
don't really know what to do from here, but I assume that a
configuration is not set properly between mysql, apache, windows, or
php. I really don't know what it could be. My code is here and I have
tried to simplify the form in order to get it working, so here is my
barebones code that hopefully has some errors:
HTML:
html
head
titleSimplify/title
/head
body
form action=addform.php method=post
Login: input type=text name=login
input type=submit
/form
/body
/html
PHP file called addform.php:
?
$user=chris;
$database=test;
mysql_connect(localhost,$user);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die(unable to select database);
$query=INSERT INTO login VALUES ('$login');
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
?
Login is the name of the table on the database named test.
I stopped using a password because it wouldn't let anything work even
table creation when I tried to use a password. Any help that anyone
could give would be greatly appreciated; there is probably some
grievious error in this script. Thanks, Chris
