[PHP] phpMyAdmin--resetting auto increments to 0
hi everyone i have delete a few entries in my database as they were entered for testing purposes and are no longer need (actually 102 entries)... and even thought that db is empty i noticed that when the next entry went in the id number went to 103 not 0 so i was wondering is it possible to somehow reset the value to zero... it is of int type and auto_increment i have a few db's which id like to reset to zero i have tried placing a zero enrty after deleting the lot but it only jumps to its next increment. does anyone know what i mean...? any help will be grateful regards alex -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

use gettype and see what they are:

Sounds like you have a bad query and instead of answer being a row,
it's something else.
Print out everything before you use it:
instead of:
$this-param = $this-SYSTEM-db-answer + $this-param;
$answer = $this-SYSTEM-db-answer;
$param = $this-param;
echo Answer: . $answer . br/;
If that's not an array, that's your problem and you'll have to debug
why it's not an array.

no. because:
a, you don't mention the version of php you use
b, we don't have knowledge of you codebase (posting code listings for
a complete class really isn't going to help much)
have you tried to debug the problem? using print_r() or var_dump()?

don't know if someone mentioned it already but i was digging around in the docs for something completely different and bumped into this: preg_grep() [http://php.net/preg_grep] and I thought of your question, might be just what your looking for.

The reason I ask is before serving an AJAX page I would like to make sure JS is enabled, if not, serve the other normal page... I am sure I am not the first person to come accross this little problem, how did you solve it? I have seen some suggestions on google like having a hidden form field and using js to put a value in it, if it exists when the form is sent then JS is on..if not, its not... but that method is not the best in an AJAX situation...right? 2) How can I search in an array for a particular word? eg: in an array movie I have this kind of data: movie_name= some movie cast= Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy I want to search on either Richard or Richard Pryor (must be case insensitive too) something like a SELECT with a LIKE %% statement I have been fooling around with in_array() but not getting anywhere fast. am I on the right track?

Re: [PHP] phpMyAdmin--resetting auto increments to 0
Alex, Heres a very simple way to do exactly what you want as long as you are deleting all the records from the table: once you are in phpmyadmin you should have a frame with the database name(s) on the left and the tables on the right, click on the database name so that you have a list of tables in the right frame...click the table you want to reset on the left frame, the right frame will reload with that tables details then on the top right you will find a link that says empty click that and it will delete everything and reset everything Another way would be to simply export the table structure, drop the table and create it again...

And now I need to print out bar codes, and I've been told it should be in the format K39 Normal (I could have misunderstood since I can't find that on google. Maybe Code 39 Normal?). Any idea how to find that bar code font or what it's called? And what shall I use to print it out? Is it just as a regulat font, or do I need some special bar code lib?

What's even more amazing (at least I've found), is that if you had 0-100 records you wanted to keep and 101-150 you wanted to delete, but also had 151 to 200 you also wanted to keep, you could do what I said above and the auto_increment would fill up 101-150 and then jump to 201.

It will not alter it to less than 151 (per your example). PhpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl3 It's not much work to then edit the PhpMyAdmin query to my liking, but I don't think I used to have to do that. I like your second part about filling in the between stuff. If I'm at that point, though, I delete the auto_increment field (sorting the table by date) and then add it back in. That fills all the gaps, too. What I want to know is why PhpMyAdmin will not do your step 2. I swear that earlier versions would let me do that. -- * Chuck Anderson • Boulder, CO http://www.CycleTourist.com Integrity is obvious.

[PHP] New Date/Time Functionality and Setting Timezones
In more than one place in the PHP documentation it refers to the order in which the new Date/Time functionality determines the appropriate time zone. That order is: 1) the value set by date_default_timezone_set(), if any 2) the TZ environmental variable 3) the date.timezone php.ini option 4) magical guess 5) UTC Is this indeed the actual order? Would it not make more sense to prioritize the date.timezone php.ini setting over the TZ environmental variable? That way users who don't have control over their TZ environmental variable (such as might be the case with some shared hosting environments) could set the timezone in an htaccess file rather than having to ensure they call date_timezone_default_set() in every script.

[PHP] Table formation...
I know that this is simple, and again I am operating on little rest in the quest to get a site launch by sometime tomorrow evening. I have a table of data and I want to display items by two's, i.e. Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 ...and so on. I seem to remember doing this using mod to calculate if I had divided by 2. I am still searching for info, but I am missing it somehow. Does anyone know where I can find an example of this or a code snippet?

Something like this?
$c = 0;
while($c $itemcount) {
if ($c % 2 == 0)
$c++;
}
