RE: [PHP] MySQL substrings?
This is actually not so difficult. Just download the mySQL documentation (from mysql.org or .com I believe is where I got it) and search the function list.

Date is a reserved word in Mysql. Also, that might work better, after
renaming the field from date, as
SELECT *, SUBSTRING(datefield,5,2) AS substring_date FROM $table ORDER BY
substring_date

It'd help if you have us the mysql_error() returned.
Try the following:
SELECT *, substring_date AS SUBSTRING(date,5,2) FROM $table ORDER BY
substring_date

This is thew sort of thing I want: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY substr(field,5,6) but I don't know the correct function, if there is one, or how to implement it. cheers, - seb -Original Message- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 August 2001 12:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: transaction Nafiseh Saberi wrote: > > hi. > in large database with php,postgres > and when in each time come many request , > how do we implement transactions?? > nafiseh. If you are wanting to run several queries in the one script though the one transaction - you'll need to send a begin(as a query) and execute it - then to the same connection send all your other queries as normal, and follow it up with a commit. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
