[PHP-DB] Re: mssql.datetimeconvert bug ?
What format do you want? You can use select convert(char(10),date_field,101) and you will get mm/dd/, or look at the convert function in the SQL Server Books Online, or u can use php function date and format whatever you want.

Re: [PHP-DB] can i create an Access table or mdb with PHP?
Building on John idea with a few of my own (from a real word system I've developed...)

Next make a copy with a unique name (there are loads of ways of doing this, timestamps, uniqid()...) and populate the copy. Send the copy to your user You will end up with copies littering your site, so at the start of the population phase, run some 'tidy up code' which deletes any old databases (older than a day say).

nobody has got back to me. I printed out the contents of the $buy variable
and it contained exactly what I expected it to so it seems to be behaving
as it should, I'm just unsure as to why its working now - bizarre! Even
when I passed the Catagory/Interests ID along with the product ID in the

try and solve it. All I know is last night is didn't work and now it does !

[PHP-DB] Code for File Upload
I have been seeing a lot of talk about file uploads.
I wrote the following code and it works well when uploading images. The
actual image is not stored in the database just the name of the image.
When you want to view the image just query the database and include the
database variable in your IMG SRC tag.
IMG SRC = http://www.path to image $image_name.
?
// includes
include(config.php);
?
?
// Validate entries
if ($_REQUEST[pic_category] == )
{
echo Must enter a Category for the pictures to go in.;
exit;
}
if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] == 0)
{
echo No size;
exit;
}
if ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] == text/plain)
{
echo cannot upload text it must be an image;
exit;
}
// Set Name of Image for Database entry. This comes from the input
fields in the HTML form.
$pic_1 = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$pic_2 = $_FILES['userfile_2']['name'];
$pic_3 = $_FILES['userfile_3']['name'];
$pic_4 = $_FILES['userfile_4']['name'];
$pic_5 = $_FILES['userfile_5']['name'];
$pic_6 = $_FILES['userfile_6']['name'];

$upfile = /home/SOMEWHERE/php/photos/.$_FILES['userfile']['name'];

$upfile_3 = /home/SOMEWHERE/php/photos/.$_FILES['userfile_3']['name'];

$upfile_5 = /home/SOMEWHERE/php/photos/.$_FILES['userfile_5']['name'];
$upfile_6 = /home/SOMEWHERE/php/photos/.$_FILES['userfile_6']['name'];

// open connection to database
$connection = mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $pass) or die (Unable to
connect!);
// Place the picture name and captions in the database
$query = INSERT INTO table name and so on and so
on
Hope this will helps!

[PHP-DB] serious help with linking data together...
Hey all,
Been trying too figure this out all day.
First off I'll explain what I am TRYING to do.
I am creating a Search Engine Tracking Report that lists keywords and
the Search Engines used on that keyword along with the count total for
that search Engine - example:
Keyword Search Engine Count
Web hosting Yahoo
27
Google
20
MSN
12
Web Design Overture
30
MSN
17
So on and so forth.
Seems simple right? But no not for me!
CODE:
?php
$keyQuery = db_query(SELECT keyword, COUNT(keyword) as kTotal
FROM SiteTrackingTable WHERE $query GROUP BY keyword);
while ($keyResult = db_fetch($keyQuery)) {
if (strlen($keyResult[keyword]) 2) {
$refQuery = db_query(SELECT *, COUNT(referer)
as refTotal FROM SiteTrackingTable WHERE keyword=.$keyResult[keyword].
GROUP BY referer ORDER BY refTotal DESC);
$nrows = db_numrows($refQuery);
?
tr valign=top
td class=content2?php echo $keyResult[keyword]; ?/td
td colspan=2
table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=250
tr valign=top
tdimg src=../Graphics/spacer.gif width=150 height=1/td
tdimg src=../Graphics/spacer.gif width=100 height=1/td
/tr
?php
while ($refResult = db_fetch($refQuery)) {
?
tr valign=top
td class=content2?php echo $refResult[referer]; ?/td
td class=content2 align=center?php echo $refResult[refTotal];
?/td
/tr
?php
}
?
/table
/td
/tr
?php
}
}
?
If this is too messed up let me know and I'll reformat.
Sorry guy the annoying question guys.

Re: [PHP-DB] Move PDFs
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php You are just moving files on a file system from one place to another right? rename(/old/path/to/file/filename.pdf,/new/path/newfilename.pdf) or die(can't move file); Can't remember what variable/function holds the last error for rename, otherwise I'd put it there.

Typically, the menu items are links to html pages. I would like to have the link bring up a list of items from another table in the database, not an html page. So I guess this would be a select statement linked from a select statement? Is this even possible? -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc www.simradusa.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] The concept would be to pass a value(s) in the link which would enable you to construct the appropriate query in the called page.

Hi everyone,
I don't get my upload to work properly. It's a tutorial of the web, but
it
doesn't function (unless I made a mistake). Please help me...
I have a form passing on 5 fields (text for testing), name: year, make,
model, price, picture and submit to PHP_SELF
?php
if ($submit) {
$db = mysql_connect(localhost,myname,mypassword);
mysql_select_db($test,$db);
//DB Test for testing...
$sql = INSERT INTO test (year,make,model,price,picture) VALUES
('$year,$make,$model,$price,$picture');
This line looks like your first problem. Each value being inserted which
is a text type should be separately surrounded by single quotes. So:
('$year','$make','$model','$price','$picture');
As a debugging aid, use
echo mysql_error()
after you pass the query to mysql with mysql_query() I don't see where you
actually do that in this code snippet??
//I created these columns in the table test
echo year: $yearbr\n;
echo make: $makebr\n;
echo model: $modelbr\n;
echo price: $pricebr\n;
echo picture: $picturebr\n;
}
?
I know I need globals on for this.
Thanx for the help,

Re: [PHP-DB] storing(/retrieving) HTML from textbox fields
Hi Gavin, Have you tried escaping your input? Take a look at the following: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php It should help you take care of the problem.
