Re: [PHP-DB] select with parentID field into multidimensional array?

2001-01-21 Thread Stephen

I am having most of my problems because I am trying to do this walking
through the data a single time, with the assumption any records parentID
has an ID less than the child and therefore would already be populated in
the array...

 Subject: [PHP-DB] select with parentID field into multidimensional array?
 
 Hi
 
 I have a table which is set out like this
 
 ID name parentID
 
 I "select * from table" into $result.
 
 I then wish to walk through the result such that it creates a
 multidimensional array sorted with children under parents. Here is a basic
 eg.
 
 IDnameparentID
 1 books   0
 2 movies  0
 3 songs   0
 4 horror  1
 5 love1
 6 horror  2
 7 love2
 8 scifi   2
 9 IT  4
 
 etc
 
 I am trying to write a function that would then insert these into a
 multidimensional array as such...
 
 $array[1] = "books";
 $arary[1][4] = "horror";
 $array[1][4][9] = "IT";
 
 etc, so I could pull them out into a select dropdown list nicely sorted.
 
 I am not sure how to write an array function with an unlimited number of
 levels. If someone could help out it would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Thanks
 Stephen

Re: [PHP-DB] select with parentID field into multidimensional array?

2001-01-21 Thread Stephen

Im not putting the array data back intoi the db, it is just to structure
the data coming out of the db before i create a tree like structure with
it on the page
The data going into the db will always be a simple ID name parentID. Its
the neatest way to do it I can think of including using the array
structure. I am imagining it is possible to implement a way to take a
select * from table and format an array with all the data in a tree like
structure within the array with one pass of the data, then on a single
pass of the array write out the info in whatever tree like format i wish
onto my page. If I work it out Ill be sure to post it :)

 Hi,
 
 Maybe it would be better not to use a multidimentionnal array in a db.
 You should create to additionnal columns that stores the ParentID
 of the row.
 
 It's the easiest way to do it.
 
 Also you can create another table that would translate from 
 numbers to text, or just put the text.

[PHP-DB] Access MS SQL idnetical thru ODBC ??

2001-01-21 Thread Sigurd Magnusson

I have written a small program which uses ODBC to connect to a Access Database. I am 
simply wanting to know if this would also work with MS SQL without any modifications 
what so ever, or does ODBC not really accomplish what it was designed for ?

The SQL statments used are very simple; the INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE are the same 
syntax as mysql, so i assume would also work under mSsql, and the SELECTs, although 
looking complex, don't perform JOINs or anything (eg: SELECT TOP 10 RECORD_NR, 
StatusField, ExtendedStatusField, PICTURE, SURNAME, FIRSTNAME, FORM, DOB, DESTINATION, 
EXPIRY FROM (SELECT TOP 20 * FROM WELLGIRLS ORDER BY RECORD_NR ASC,RECORD_NR ASC) 
ORDER BY RECORD_NR DESC,RECORD_NR DESC ).

As I dont have access to a MSSQL server, can you someone please validate whether all 
this would work fine with MSSQL, and what problems/benefits (other than 
speed/security) I might have to deal with.

Siggy



Re: [PHP-DB] Access MS SQL idnetical thru ODBC ??

2001-01-21 Thread Andrew Hill

Siggy,

It should work fine, as long as you use SQL92 syntax (or SQL89, depending on
the ODBC driver).

The only problem comes when you use SQL syntax that Access accepts that is
not really valid in the SQL specification.  I believe 'limit' is one
example, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.  I'm also not
sure about 'top'.

I believe you have OpenLink's drivers installed? I'll open up access to an
SQLServer database for you tomorrow if you want to test the relevant queries
yourself.

Let me know.

Best regards,
Andrew

RE: [PHP-DB] Cookies on a Macintosh

2001-01-21 Thread Noodles Grizzly

No luck with that I'm afraid.  The Mac IE still refuses to use the cookie.
Cookies are on, it will use cookies on other sites, just not on the one I've
created using PHP.  I've tried making other cookies to test it, but still no go.

There's no bugs in PHP3 with respect to making cookies are there?

I just don't understand why it will work in netscape on the mac, but not any
versions of IE...

Any other ideas?

Thanks very much,

  It sets the cookie, but refuses to use the variable contained

 you aren't setting a domain in your setcookie().

 setcookie("randint", "$ran3", time()+9000, "/", "www.mydomain.com");

[PHP-DB] Message Boards

2001-01-21 Thread Steve Farmer

Hi all,

Apologies if this is off-topic ..

I am looking for a simple message/news board for a non-profit 
association(Surf Lifesaving Club in fact).  I have tried Nope but 
cannot get it running and have had no response from posting to their 
install messageboard.

i just want something that the club can use to post simple messages 
about up-coming events etc..

Can anybody point me in the right direction., i have looked around a 
fair bit, but most of them seem to be much to heavyweight for what I 
need.

It is basically to replace a static news page and allow several 
authorised people to post news items

TIA
Steve Farmer

Well don't forget to use the order by and group by and where commands in
SQL
they could be quite useful in making a tree
