Hi All
How can I read the contents of 1 file then Write those contents to a
newfile?
This is baffling me.
I Know about fopen,fread,fwrite but cant seem to get the logical steps clear
in my head.
As always any help or pointers given are most appreciated.

1. What is the difference between working with PHP and MySQL on a local
server and working with PHP and MySQL when MySQL is on a remote server?
2. What is the protocol used to connect to MySQL on a local server and

read file 1 into string
close file pointer to file 1
create file pointer to file 2 (creating if necessary (w))

My department is 95% MS oriented and this is why we prefer an MSSQL

This is quite a mess :)
Fail Over is not for when the cluster is too busy, it's for when the

Then, in about 30 seconds the cluster will do a fail over to the 2nd

Hi John - I have come up against this one a number of times, and have found
that the following works pretty nicely - although there may be better ways
out there
- get your records from the db
- loop thru them, using some sort of ID field to print each row in your
table with names something

It's not anything to do with the special regular expression characters again
is it?

Hi, I'm having a problem with the stcmp() function. I have it comparing two
string variables, $pword and $conf_pword, in a script. I know they both

variable in the function, and -1 when $pword is the 2nd variable in the

Have you tried changing and transactions.ExtractID=bib_extract.E_ID

it's reversed.
The transactions table is the primary determinant of the query,
Transactions.Course_ID = '210' , thus fields returned from

Keith,
You're building it upside down! If your design relies on adding columns to
store data you will quickly run out of columns.
More typically when you submit data you add a row of information to a
database, not another column. Database design and normalization are topics
which are too
Other than what sounds like a bad design decision, you can:
$query = ALTER TABLE mytable ADD COLUMN newcol INT UNSIGNED AFTER
anothercol;
mysql_query($query) or die(Error: .mysql_error() );

I can't figure out where I have gone wrong. Maybe not enough sleep, anyway this is the
simple query:
$query = SELECT * FROM xp_topics WHERE artist='artist'ORDER BY topicid DESC LIMIT
0,1; $result = mysql_db_query($query) or die(Select Failed!);
echo(Latest Artists : $topictext br);
It says
Barry,
Add or die( mysql_errno() . : . mysql_error() )
It could be you don't have any data, also there's no space between /artist'
and ORDER BY.
Also trim off everything after 'artist' and see what you get. If it still
doesn't work there's something wrong with the field
I ended up rewriting it again and somewhere I must have done something wrong
as it now works. Thanks guys. Maybe I should think about more sleep.

Hi olinux,
If I understand what you are saying...I would use mcrypt and encrypt the
stored info, keeping the KEY and IV in a separate location for when you need
it. Chances that anybody will break the triple des encryption without the
KEY and IV are slim to none. That way, you don't have to
post your code

Hi olinux,
This is what I ended up doing. This will work if you have a PHP that was

different. The Initialization Vector is hard coded, but there is a function

I think you can do something like
