Re: [PHP] php/mysql Query Question.
I tend to do this robert, while looking at your example i thought to myself since i am trying to mimick a shell command why not run one. Result: ? $db = 'db'; $host = 'host'; $user = 'user'; $pass = 'pass'; $query = select * from $db.my_table; $ddvery = shell_exec(mysql -u$user -p$pass --html --execute=$query); echo pre$ddvery/pre; ? Not are the results safe but the unlimited possibilites are amazing. Thanks so much for the kick starter ad...@buskirkgraphics.com wrote: Would you mind giving me an example of this that i can stick right into a blank php file and run.

Thanks so much for the kick starter This presumes your information is all safe and that there are no special shell characters in any of the configuration settings (now and in the future). Also, the shell_exec() function is identical to the backtick operator that I used in my example (see the help). You've essentially done what I did, but made it less robust... except for the use of the --execute parameter which I wasn't aware existed since it's just as easy to pipe :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As most of you already know when using MySQL from the shell you can write
your queries in html format in an out file.
Example: shellmysql -uyourmom -plovesme --html
This now will return all results in an html format from all queries.
Now I could “tee” this to a file and save the results returned if I so choose
to save the result of the display .
Let’s say I want to be lazy and write a php MySQL query to do the same so
that any result I queried for would return the html results in a table
without actually writing the table tags in the results.
Is there a mysql_connect or select_db or mysql_query tag option to do that
since mysql can display it from the shell?
Here is my rendition of an result to HTML table output function.
This is normally used within my db class
but I have modified it to work with a MySQLi result object
function debug($result) {
/* get column metadata */
$html = 'table border=1tr';
foreach ( $result-fetch_fields() AS $val ) {
$html .= 'th'.$val-name.'/th';
}
$html .= '/tr';
foreach ( $result-fetch_row() AS $row ) {
$html .= 'tr';
foreach ( $row AS $value ) {
$html .= 'tdnbsp;'.$value.'/td';
}
$html .= '/tr';
}
$html .= '/table';
return $html;
}
Let us know if that works for you.

You might be better served by finer grained process control where you can check the output and provide input as needed. Or a simple expect script might suffice.

[PHP] PHP - mySQL query question
I have a simple question (not for me). Why does this query does not work? $links_query = mysql_query(select id, inserted, title, information, international from links WHERE international = y; order by inserted desc LIMIT 0 , 30); The information for the international fields are: Field: international Type: char(1) Null: No Default:n The error is - Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in TIA Tracking #: BC19379918870340BDA57FD3E349C2D0B4B484BC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You'd know this if you checked mysql_error() after running your query. $result = mysql_query(...) or die(mysql_error()) Your query fails because you need quotes around the y and you need to remove the semi-colon. $links_query = mysql_query(select id, inserted, title, information, international from links WHERE international = 'y' order by inserted desc LIMIT 0 , 30) or die(mysql_error()); Also, why are you selecting the international column when you're filtering the results to rows that have y for international. You already know what international is, why select it in your query? -- ---John Holmes...
