[PHP] forms and mysql
Hi i am very new to PHP so need some help !
i have a form which allows the user to put in 2 team names and then displays
them, at the moment it displays them side by side but i need to insert V
(versus) in the middle--how can i do that.
I am guessing it goes in the lines of the code below somewhere, This code
originally displayed someones input for --first name,last name and address
so i have adapted it. Is there anyway to have the 'address' field display a
set value as in a V , at the moment i have removed that part but the table
field is still there, i have just hidden the form input.
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM teams,$db);
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
printf(a href=\%s?id=%s\%s %s/a \n, $PHP_SELF, $myrow[id],
$myrow[teama],$myrow[teamb]);

Just stick a V between as in ..%s V %s ...
printf will ignore anything without a % before it and just copy it to the output

RE: [PHP] Forms and MySql date
To avoid user error (remember, 90% of internet users are stupid and illogical and don't know anything), just have drop down menus for the dates and months and allow the user to enter in the year then just do: $mysqldate = $_POST[month].-.$_POST[date].-.$_POST[year]; -Original Message- From: Frank Keessen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 1:21 AM To: Philip Hallstrom Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Forms and MySql date Hi, You can let the users enter a date as 20-02-2003 into a textfield with the name $userdate Then you can use this function to convert it; $date_array = split(-, $userdate); $mysqldate = $date_array[2].-.$date_array[1].-.$date_array[0]; Store $mysqldate into the database!

RE: [PHP] Forms and MySql date
I apologize the correct order is -MM-DD so you would do: $mysqldate = $_POST[year].-.$_POST[month].-.$_POST[date]; -Original Message- From: v0idnull [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 4:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Forms and MySql date To avoid user error (remember, 90% of internet users are stupid and illogical and don't know anything), just have drop down menus for the dates and months and allow the user to enter in the year then just do: $mysqldate = $_POST[month].-.$_POST[date].-.$_POST[year]; -Original Message- From: Frank Keessen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 1:21 AM To: Philip Hallstrom Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Forms and MySql date Hi, You can let the users enter a date as 20-02-2003 into a textfield with the name $userdate Then you can use this function to convert it; $date_array = split(-, $userdate); $mysqldate = $date_array[2].-.$date_array[1].-.$date_array[0]; Store $mysqldate into the database!

Re: [PHP] Forms and MySql date
mysql stores date as -mm-dd that is how the date should be entered into the form If entered in another format, you can reformat it. - Original Message - From: Mike Tuller [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php mailing list list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 4:43 PM Subject: [PHP] Forms and MySql date I have a form that I want to enter a date into a MySql database.

Re: [PHP] Forms and MySql date
Hi, You can let the users enter a date as 20-02-2003 into a textfield with the name $userdate Then you can use this function to convert it; $date_array = split(-, $userdate); $mysqldate = $date_array[2].-.$date_array[1].-.$date_array[0]; Store $mysqldate into the database!
