[PHP-DB] find a value in entire table...
I need to search an entire table for a value, and then report back what field it was found in... how on earth do I do that? I've a list of departments, as field names. whenever a user interacts with that Dpet, I wanna add thier id No to the appropriate field. so I'll be left with a table that looks like this: | Accounts | HR | Support | Marketing | | 23 | | | | | | 17 | | | | | | 17 | | | 19 | | | | | | | | 4 | So User 17 has dealt with HR and Support, and user 23 has dealt with only Accounts. So I wanna input an user ID no, and then get told what Dpets have been accessed... I need to learn this, as I know it's simple, but I've never had to do it before!

You'll be better off storing a single row for each user/department interaction. In fact, break them straight out into id's and just have it as a linking table user_department_interactions | user_id | department_id | then have a table for the departments information departments | department_id | department_name | more fields... | a simple join in your query will tell you the department name select distinct department_name from user_department_interactions where user_id=3 AND user_department_interactions.department_id = departments.department_id; the above will return a list of department names that user_id 3 interacted with. Whenever they interact with a department you just insert a single row into the user_department_interactions table, if you only ever want to store whether they interacted at all, you can set constraints and catch the error on insert, or search before inserting. cheers, -- - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] PHP and JOIN... (I know.. it's easy!)
Hi all, long time no post... I've rebuilt a download tracking system my company uses. I built the original, and thought that a restructure would be a doddle! Ooops! ;-) Anyhoo... I used to capture each download in it's own row, replicating user data each time. (Eg: if a user downloaded 5 files, I'd capture their address, email etc, 5 times) For the redesign, I've got several tables. a file list table, a user list table, and a capture list table. I'm built 90% of the front end, and it works great! However, I'm having trouble getting my head round the reporting side of things. (probably need to stop thinking about it for a while, but I don't have that luxury) My admin users, will come in, and select a file ID to view who's downloaded it. So with a file ID No, I need to also get the following: 1. Get the file info from the file table 2. go to the captures table, get all the fields where the file id is the same as theonce requested 3. count each user that has downloaded it 4. get thier data from the users table Now I could do this with 4 seperate queries, and a few for loops etc... But I'm trying to figure out JOIN... as I'm told I can do it all in one query, and make a temp fake table? I've googled for a decent tutorial, but perhaps I'm just panicing, but they all seem over my head... (My flatmate is a PHP developer too, and she says that it's easy!.. so I hope I'm just stressed) Anyhoo, does anyone know of a decent site, that'll really dumb it down for me, or could talk me through what I'm after? Sorry for the long winded E-mail.. but I'm pulling my hair out here.. :-( Tris... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

An admin user should be able to: Select one (or more, though I'm fine with looping, once I get this first one done) file ID number to see who's downloaded it, and see detailed info on them. So I'm listing a list of all file id No's on page 1. when the user selects the ID they wanna report on, the MYSQL query should read something like: 1. Get, and count user_id from table captures. 2. get all user info from table users, based on above user_id. I'll then make a page that looks like this: file name: User(s) 12.doc [EMAIL PROTECTED] (12 times) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1 times) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2 times) etc.. I'll make the email addresses/file name links to detailed info, but I'm fine with doing that... Once I see a few Joins in action based on what I'm trying to do, I'll get it..

Gryffyn, Trevor [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/12/2004 15:47 To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject [PHP-DB] Basic JOIN tutorial - RE: [PHP-DB] Job interview test - I give up... Looks like you got a lot of good responses. I downloaded the zip file but then got slammed with some priority stuff and havn't had a chance to take a look at this. So in the interest of not forgetting and of closing this reply window :) just a quicky response. I had a lot of trouble initially wrapping my brain around JOINs conceptually but they're really rather easy. Here's my 2 cent tour (because most of the documentation I read didn't really put it in plain english). Someone please correct me or add to what I've said if it's not accurate: Inner Join - This is when you have two tables and the items in the ON clause need to exist in both tables for you to get a row returned. Doing a a INNER JOIN b ON somecriteria is functionally the same as doing from a, b where somecriteria Maybe there's a performance difference, maybe only on certain database systems, not sure. They should return the same output: SELECT trucks.truckid, crates.crateid FROM trucks INNER JOIN crates ON trucks.truckid = crates.truckid Should be the same as... SELECT trucks.truckid, crates.crateid FROM trucks, crates WHERE trucks.truckid = crates.truckid This will return all trucks that have crates on them. If a truck is empty, it doesn't show up on the list. Outer Joins - This is where you know you have items in one table, but may or may not have items in another table. SELECT trucks.truckid, crates.crateid FROM trucks LEFT JOIN creates ON trucks.truckid = crates.truckid This should give you a list of all trucks, even empty ones, and their associated crates (if there are any.. If no crates are on the trucks, then an empty cell is returned for 'crateid'. SELECT trucks.truckid, crates.crateid FROM creates RIGHT JOIN trucks ON trucks.truckid = crates.truckid This should return the same thing. The LEFT or RIGHT points to the table that definitely has rows, the other table will show empty (NULL) cells if there are no matches. I believe there's a join that will show NULLs in either column if there's no match, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head. Anyone know this one? Also, some systems like Oracle, let you do shorthand like: SELECT trucks.truckid, crates.crateid FROM creates, trucks WHERE trucks.truckid = crates.truckid(+) (this syntax is probably wrong). It uses a (+) in the WHERE clause to indicate the join. Microsoft SQL-Server has some kind of shorthand way to do this as well, but it's documented as never having worked properly so I'd recommend not using it. To me, the Oracle shorthand is much more intuitive, but once you get the hang of the LEFT JOIN type syntax, it's not too bad. One last note, you can JOIN on multiple tables, you just need to wrap everything in parentheses. It gets a little sticky, but work from the inside out and keep an image in your head of what's going to be returned by each layer and join accordingly. If you have Microsoft Access or something else that graphically lets you create queries, you might try building a query that you know works and returns what you need, then looking at the SQL VIEW to see how the syntax goes. It can help you understand how to do the raw SQL yourself.

Hi Tristan, I'm not an MySQL expert but DISTINCT removes duplicate *rows* from your result set. As you select email AND file_name you will always have a unique row (combination of email and file_name).

[PHP-DB] DISTINCT and multiple results...
Hi there... I'm trying to create a MYSQL query that does the following... I've a table that lists ALL downloads from our site. so I may have the same user many times, but different files, or infact, same user, same file. What my boss wants to see is: If a user downloaded a file 3 times, she doesn't care, she just wants to see that it was downloaded. So I tried using DISTINCT(email), but then I loose the data about the other files that they've downloaded How can I create a query, where I can list only one instance of email, per multiple instatnces of a file name. Does that make sence? I'm reallyu stumped... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Multiple SQL queries...?
Right, todays fun dilema... ;-)
I've a user capture system set up for downloads on our site.
Each time a user downloads a file, their info is captured (so we'll have
multiple entries for each email address).
Also in the table, is a field to state if the result has been viewed by my
boss. (Just a 1/0 value)
So, what my boss wants me to do now, is to show her, the total No of
people captured, and how many she's viewed.
Using the 'email' field, from the table, I've done a distinct() sort in
MySQL to ensure that I have a list of emails(users) and no duplicates.
My prob is this:
I want to take each email, and see if at any point, there's a '1' in the
viewed field.
if there is, I want to add one to the total of $row1
So I can output the num_rows from the distinct request, and then show the
total of $row1...
So I'll have total No of users, and total No of viewed... as I've
mentioned above.
What am I doing wrong?
?
$sql = SELECT DISTINCT(email) FROM $table;
$result = mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die(Couldn't execute query 0.);
$row1 = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$sql1 = SELECT * FROM $table WHERE viewed = '1' AND email =
'$row[email]';
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$connection)
or die(Couldn't execute query 1.);
if (mysql_num_rows($result1) = 1) {
$row1++;
}
}
?
?=$row1 ?

[PHP-DB] Re: Embedded forms, or multiple postings to an external site....
Forget it!!! I had a LIMIT 1 in my code from an earlier test... I AM A MONKEY!! Laters... Man, it just aint my day... I have a page, that lists all entries from my MySQL database. I've used the multiple delete script Mustafa gave me earlier, but one one site, I think it may not work.. My page is laid out like this: form delete button based on select input checkbox select[] formPost other data to other site, in new window/form input checkbox select[] formPost other data to other site, in new window/form input checkbox select[] formPost other data to other site, in new window/form /form However, I'm running into probs... only one entry can be deleted at a time, and sometimes, I'll select a box, but am told none are selected...? Would the embedded forms stop me from processing the multiple deletion in PHP? My other option, is to add the individual posts to the master form, but then how could I submit multiple sets of data, to an external site, withough opening loads of new windows...? So my questions are: 1. Can I embed forms, and are there any issues associtated with it? 2. Can I post to external sites, multiple times, on the same page (kinda like header(Location: http:www.site.com), but many times? Perhaps I'm off on the wrong curve, but it seems the most obvious answer...? Any ideas?

It looks like is not so simple. But is not difficult at all..
Try to make something like:
?php
header(Content-type: text/csv);
$query = SELECT * FROM tables;
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print implode(,, $row);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?
Check if functions like implode has the correct arguments.
Anyway hopes it gives you a clue about what is going on.
Don't forget to connect to database first of all.

Tristan,
yes, You are alternating between curly braces {} and parenethes ()
(spelling??). Also you forgot to the closing double quotes when
completeing the mysql_query statement.
You could also put the insert statement into a vairable and echo that to
the screen. That way if you can't see the error, paste the query text
into the mysql command line client.
See my alterations to you code below..
Regards
George Patterson

[PHP-DB] My SQL update one table, using reference from another...
I've been asked to add a field to a download capture sstem I've got.
I've two tables, one that contains all the individual files info
('single_file'), and one that records the downloads
('completed_downloads').
All good...
I've been asked to add a file_category (article, brochure, exe etc...)
And I've gone through the 'single_file' table and added the field
'file_cat' and populated all entries with data.
I've also added a field called 'file_cat' to 'completed_downloads' but
they are all blank.
Both tables share a common field, called 'file_name'
What I'd like to do is:
Update all entries 'file_cat' on 'completed_downloads' taking the value of
'file_cat' from 'single_file' where 'single_file.file_name' =
'completed_downloads.filename'
Make sence?
Well, I've come up with this...
UPDATE completed_downloads SET file_cat = 'brochure' WHERE
single_file.file_name = completed_downloads.file_name
but this will simply update ALL 'file_cat' to brochure, which is not what
I want... (In fact the Query above does nothing, it doesn't work)
Now, the picture version...
I need to populate file_cat.
Hope it all makes sence?

[PHP-DB] Hackers?
Now I am not an Apache guru, and my PHP/MySQL experience is all based around the coding side, not the instilation, security etc... So when I arrived at work yesterday, and discovered that several databases had been deleted, and a random database called 'sanij' has been created, My gut was to suspect hackers. None of my web site pages are unaffected, and the web site runs just fine, apart from those pages that need a MySQL database for content. This morning I come to work and ALL the databases have been deleted. As I said, I really don't know where to begin looking for evidence of hackers. While I'm curious to know who did this, I guess my priority os to recover the lost data... is this possible...? I'm working off a RAQ4, hosted by NetBenefit... Any advise, ideas are gonna be apperciated at this point. I've got backups of alot of the databases, but several were created in the past few weeks, and I didn't back them up yet... I know I know... stupid man I am, but I'll slap myself later, for now... a solution is required Help!

The golden rule is, at the first sign of any suspicious activity (yes having several databases deleted does count as suspicious activity!), take the server off-line, backup all your important data, and investigate. While I'm curious to know who did this, I think a better question to be asking is *how* they did this. Knowing that would stand you in good stead to prevent it from happenning in the future.

You really need to keep up with any new security updates. 2) A default installation of MySQL is also insecure in that you do not need a password to use the root account. As with all break-ins or suspected break-ins, to be on the safe side you should recover any data that you can (making sure that they haven't been tainted) then format the hard-disk (or better still, put in a new hard-disk, keeping the old one for analysis) and re-install. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- /* Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function. -- Garrison Keillor */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php * The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

RE: [PHP-DB] reading a URL...
I am a newbie, so I gotta admit that most of that went over my head, hit a brick
wall, and is now residing in the big server in the sky.
If you go to:
http://www.pcformat.co.uk
Select news, and then any article, and if you look at the URL, you'll see the
result I'm trying to achieve.
They've done it in ASP, but the result is what I want...
Any ideas?

Hello
Try to use this one with mysql_fetch_object...
printf ("TD WIDTH=80a href=\"%s?Art_Job_Number=%s\"%s
%s/a\n","list.php", $data-Art_Job_Number, "BEdit/B",
"BView/B");
Then on the list.php do a select statement like this
query = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Art_Job_Number = $Art_Job_Number";
Then echo the result and you should then have what you want...
Unless I'm missing the whole point!!

'ello,
Is it Possible, in PHP to read a URL?
What I am trying to do is this...
I have many news stories in a database, and a single static news page,
that
calls the story, and the corresponding headline.
I have looked about on-line, and seen a common URL,...
http://www.arandomsite.com/news_story.php?id=123
I have adopted this method, and it only displays the top most story in
my
database, no matter what news ID I use.
Can I get the ID number from the URL?, and then pass that to the SQL
statement?
I cannot find a tutorial or similar on-line anywhere.
Hope you can help,
Tris...
P.S, after getting this all set up, my boss asked me to turn
everything into
.jsp pages.
SO, I am off to buy a "JSP in 20 seconds" Type books, any ideas?

[PHP-DB] Using selected fields
Hi there,
Firstly a big thanks to those who pointed me in the direction of 'PHP-fast and
easy web development'. it was/is a great book, and I have learnt loads on the
past week.
Anyhoo...
I have a php page and included the line:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name
WHERE member = \"$member\" AND pw = \"$pw\"
";
Now I have a third column called 'userlevel'.
I have a cookie that activates on successfully matching the member and pw fields
from a form on the previous page. make sense?
How can I tell the page to use the userlevel colunm too?
Here is the relevent section to my code... can anyone point me in teh rigth
direction please???
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_name
WHERE member = \"$member\" AND pw = \"$pw\"
";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die ("Can't execute query.");
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if (($num != 0) ($userlevel == 1)) {
$cookie_name = "auth";
$cookie_value = "ok";
$cookie_expire = "";
$cookie_domain ="";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $cookie_expire, "/", $cookie_domain, 0);
$display_block ="
