It is in the great Republic of Texas.

It is even in the sub-tropical part of Texas known as Houston.
But this isn't a day of celebration for you guys, Richard, to be sure.
Do you all just ignore the day, or do you hold some kind of

So how would I go about getting each result from my query into the
columns/rows?
Should I do my query, and then assign the first column to an array, the
second to another array, etc?
And then try to loop it using $i to count each row?
And just FYI, I put Happy 4th (even though today is the 3rd) because I won't
be checking my email tomorrow :)

know what day it is :)

GOT IT!!!
I changed my code to the following:
$sql = SELECT * FROM brev_pending_summary_detail WHERE name =
'$name_code';
if (!empty($case_age)) {
$sql.= AND case_age_group = '$case_age';
}
if (!empty($case_cat)) {
$sql.= AND case_category = '$case_cat';
}
if (!empty($case_status)) {
$sql.= AND case_status = '$case_status';
} // Start our query of the database
$query = ifx_query($sql, $connect_id);
$row = ifx_fetch_row($query);
$results = array();
echo date('H:i:s') . Add some databr /\n;
for ($i = 3, $j = 0; $i = $count; $i++, $j++) {
$results[$j] = ifx_fetch_row($query);
$objPHPExcel-getActiveSheet()-setCellValue('A' . $i,
$results[$j]['stat_year']);
$objPHPExcel-getActiveSheet()-setCellValue('B' . $i,
$results[$j]['stat_month']);
$objPHPExcel-getActiveSheet()-setCellValue('C' . $i,
$results[$j]['name']);
$objPHPExcel-getActiveSheet()-setCellValue('D' . $i,
$results[$j]['case_age_group']);
}
I created a seperate query to get the row count...created an empty array (
$results = array(); )
I set $i = 3 so my results will start printing on line 3 of the spreadsheet
I set $j = 0 so the row data will start at the first row of the results from
my query
Then I made the loop repeat until $i became equal to the total number of
rows

If you just did ./configure with out specifying --prefix it will defautl to /usr/local as an install path. Can you run /usr/local/bin/php -v ?

[PHP] No Database Connection possible (mySQL)
Hi all,
I am having problems with a connection to a mysql database.
I am using
function con()
{
mysql_connect(localhost,user,pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(tava) or die(mysql_error());
}
Now, when I call the _function_ (!)
con() or die(no con);
I get the no con output.
When I call the mysql_connect and mysql_select directly before executing a
query, I get some DB output. But that won't work when I am using the
function...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

It's a bit of a long shot but are you using variables in the function
which might be out of scope?

Hi mate,
no, I am using no variables in the other function. The function goes like
con() or die(no con);
$query = SELECT ;
and so on
and I always get no con...
Cheers!

I think you need to return something from the function, like true if the
connection/select worked, false if not.

[PHP] Creating XML files
Hi all, Some months ago i worked with XML. And i remember that i was able to create xml files quite easily. Now i don`t have the book i used by the time. I made many searches in google and i don't find something interesting. So i'm wondering if somebody can give a good link with examples. If i remeber well, i can create axml file without writing the hole file to a string before writing the string to the file.

I think you need to return something from the function, like true if the
connection/select worked, false if not.

You are correct.
function foo() {
// does something
}
var_dump(foo()); // returns NULL
why? because you don't explicitly return anything. If you did, that'd be
the return value. So if you did:
function bar() {
// does something
return true;
}
var_dump(bar()); // return true
Now, your script assumes a return-value:
baz() or somethingElse();
is an expression. This basically says:
if(!baz()) {
somethingElse();
}
Now, return (implicitly) null will result in (trough lazy comparison) a
false value (*null == false*, null !== false), which then triggers your
die() condition. Returning a meaningful value will get rid of that.
Other than that, choose 1 of 2 techniques:
1. error out inside the function itself (like you do now)
OR
2. error out based on the return-value of the function (like you do now
ASWELL)
don't combine 1 and 2, stick with either, but not both.
function con()
{
mysql_connect(localhost,user,pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(tava) or die(mysql_error());
}
con();
works. The following would work too:
function con()
{
$r = mysql_connect(localhost,user,pass);
if(!$r) {
return false;
}
$r2 = mysql_select_db(tava);
if(!$r2) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
con() or die('no conn');
would also work correctly. So, stick with either, don't mix em.
