RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Array help needed :-(

2002-10-08 Thread Simon Taylor

You may want to revisit your db design, but if it is like that for  reason
then it is simple enough to associate these items with each other in an
array.
Just put together a query then get the row and split it by the commas then
put it into an array as follows.
$ar = Array('small' => '1.99', 'medium' => '2.99', 'large' => '3,99');
Then you can access these values by the following.

$smvalue = $ar['small']

This example is a simple array, if you had a lot of products you could use a
multi dimensional array like this.

$ar = Array( 'hotdogs' => Array('small' => '1.99', 'medium' => '2.99',
'large' => '3,99'), 
 'burgers' => Array('small' => '2.99', 'medium' => '4.99',
'large' => '6,99'))

Then access them like this

$smallburger = $ar['burger']['small']

Hope this helps.
Simon

I think you may have a problem with your database design? Can you explain 
a little more exactly what it is you are trying to do and perhaps someone 
can advise on how your data might best be structured.

Re: [PHP-DB] access DB via PHP classes

2002-10-08 Thread Wilmar Perez

Well, what about building a basic class without any database conection in the 
constructor and then have a inherited class with the needed database 
conection? and then use whichever you need to generate the pages.

You can even just have  the basic class and execute some code in the 
constructor that connects or not to the database depending on a parameter you 
pass to it.

As I told you before, I'm very newbie to OOP as well, but think that may work 
well.

Hope it helps

Bye

Remove all of the @ for one, so you can see if there are any errors. You're
using $rs as two different variables, also. Check mysql_error() after your
query to see if an error is returned.

[PHP-DB] Dynamic data from user file

2002-10-08 Thread John Patrick

Greetings:
I currently am using the fgetcsv function to read in fields from a
user-defined file.  The delimited file is read and displayed just fine.

Firstly, what I'm trying to accomplish:  The MySQL database has a table
with about 30 fields.  The user-defined file may contain only some of these
fields and in no particular order.  I'm trying to achieve a way for the user
to specify what each field is so the insert into MySQL is done correctly.
(An analogy would be a custom import.

The problem I'm having is finding the best way to go about this.  I've
been able to read in the data via fgetcsv and dynamically displaying a drop
down box above each field with all possible choices but am unable to create
a way to link the two for each field successfully.  Been looking for
solutions as well as trial and error to no avail.
Any suggestions?
-Sean.

[PHP-DB] FLAT FILE database questions.

2002-10-08 Thread Negretti, John (CCI-San Diego)

Hello All,

Well, I'm in a situation where I would like to ONLY use a flat file database.  
I have searched hi and low, though could not find too many resources.  So, I am 
creating my own libraries utilizing arrays.  Does anyone have any good links for FLAT 
FILE databases.  Thanks alot. :-)

RE: [PHP-DB] FLAT FILE database questions.

2002-10-08 Thread John W. Holmes

How about the dbm or dbase functions in the manual? You can create flat
file databases with them and possibly have a little more built in
functionality that you won't have to program. I've never used them, but
check the manual and see if they'll suit you needs.

Chapter XIX. dBase functions
Chapter XX. DBM Functions

Re: [PHP-DB] access DB via PHP classes

2002-10-08 Thread Ruth Zhai

Thank you again, Wilmar.

As a newbie for OOP, I will keep my option open when I design this
application.  I have not come to a conclusion which way is better than
another (I wish I had time to test all possibilities).  I appreciate your
comments, and will keep them in mind.

Regards

Ruth

[PHP-DB] Advanced search scripts

2002-10-08 Thread Adam Royle

I was wondering if anyone has some resources (links or scripts) on 'advanced site 
searches'. Something that is similar to the way regular search engines process 
requests. 

ie.   "phrase or two" word +required -"not included"

Also, returning details of that search, say for example returning 10 words before and 
10 words after and displaying it in search results. The ability to search similar 
words (eg. ignoring punctuation) would be cool aswell.

I am interested in this for database (all text fields), and also searching text files 
on filesystem.

Now, I'm not trying to recreate Google or anything, and this is just for my own 
research (at this time), but I eventually would like to be able to create a smarter 
site searching engine.

Can anyone give suggestions? or any links to tutorials (or books)

I have used regex a little bit before, but not in PHP (only ASP and JavaScript).

Adam
