I need. I guess I was just surprised that there isn't an easier way to do

you can also send the appropraite headers to output directly to excel from the
browser, i.e something like this:-
? if($_GET['FORMAT'] == 'XLS'){
header(Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel);
header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\file.xls\);
}
?
this needs to be at the very start of the page and before any output to the browser,
also in this case you'll need to send FORMAT=XLS in the GET array but you can of
course take that bit out if you want the data to be in excel format always.
if you already have tables outputing to html then this will convert it excel and open
an excel window and display the tables. Any formating you do to the html will be shown
in the excel file as well. seems to easy to be true but it is!
change 'inline' to 'attachment' to simply download the file, or give the user the
choice of what to do.

[PHP-DB] Re: Returning Results
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
OK, I'll apologize in advance if this is a little off topic, but I think
it'll be close enough.
I have a form (searchform.php) that collects data for a search (e.g.,
firstname, lastname). That form submits to a separate PHP script
(search.php) that queries a database to find matching rows and returns the
information in an array ($results).
All pretty standard stuff and it all works.
I know I while() the information in the resulting array ($results) to draw
a table showing all of the results. But what that would require is the form
(searchform.php) to collect the data and submit to the search.php script
where HTML and PHP code combine in one file to perform the query and draw
the results. I know how to do this and have done it in the past.
However, this instance has a wrinkle to it. When the searchform.php form
submits to search.php, I want to perform the query, but return the user (and
the $results array) to searchform.php to display the results.
I want to stress that I can get the information from the database with no
problem. I'm just stuck on how to get the results back to the page that
called the search.php script in the first place.
Is turning search.php into a function and return-ing the results the only
way to accomplish this? Because the only other idea I can come up with is
using a header(Location:http://searchform.php?rs=$results;); statement and
that doesn't seem to work (and logically, I can see why).
I'm not asking for a total solution here because I can handle the whole
solution myself. However I would appreciate a bump in the right direction in
regards to how to architect the application logic.
What about using the same script to provide the search form and process
the results? If you use say a submit button to send the form, you can
check the value of the button name and branch your script accordingly,
like:
switch $action: {
case 'Search': // Button Search is clicked
// do search and display results
break;
default: // No value for $action, e.g. first call of page
// display the search form
break;
}
Add other case values and season to taste :-)
Cheers

Re: [PHP-DB] Returning Results
I would advise making your search.php a function. This offers a lot of other flexibility. On your searchform.php page just have an if() function to determine if any search parameters were passed. If there are parameters, perform the search. If there are results, display them, otherwise display the search form with a message that there were no results found. Basically you are merging everything into one file and having a couple of conditional display areas. And if you use GET instead of POST in your form, the user can bookmark the resulting page.

[PHP-DB] Dynamic Forms for Data Entry, any good tools?
Hi All, I've been working on a database with a web interface for the past few years in my spare time, and as you can guess, I haven't had much time lately, and they people I'm doing this for would like to get it wrapped up if possible. I'm looking for someone to help me understand/write PHP code (possibly using PHPLIB and oohforms) to add/edit/delete records in a MySQL database. This isn't really hard, except that I need to be able to add/edit varying numbers of fields in each record, and the records are split among multiple tables. The design is quite similar to the ideas presented in the O'Reilly book on mSQL and MySQL. There's a main table, and several subsidiary tables for that data which can have zero or more entries for each record. For a better example, take a look at: http://jfs.ecotarium.org/AAS/john/sql-search.php and search for the name Anderson. As you can see, records can have varying numbers of Roles, References, Addresses, etc. The searching of the DB is working just fine, as you can see, it really just needs some tweaking on the search form side, but the core is all there. I've been beating my head out with the PHPLIB oohforms stuff to try and make it so I can start out with a basic record: heading, ref, role, authority number, note and address. I need to be able to allow the user to add additional roles, references, and addresses when adding records. So does anyone out there have either: 1. good oohforms examples? 2. good ideas on what other PHP libraries I can use to make my life simpler, or ideally some code I can steal, file off the serial numbers, and re-work to do what I need? 3. Should I try to wrap my brain around Javascript? For some piss poor examples of what I'm trying to do with forms, take a look at: http://jfs.ecotarium.org/AAS/john/test/form.php /sql-add-test.php /form-js.htm to see what I've been trying to make work so far.

Re: [PHP-DB] SELECT FROM 2 or more tables
John, It sounds like you need to read basic documentation on combining SQL queries. Basically, you need to have a column that is common across both tables. Eg., in TABLE1 have a column named TABLE1ID. Have the same ID cross referenced in TABLE2. The ID would be sequenced in some way (auto_increment if MySQL). So it would look like this: create table1 ( table1idnumber, datavarchar); create table2 ( table2idnumber, table1idnumber, datavarchar); select * from table1, table2, where table1.table1id = X and table1.table1id = table2.table1id; If that's still confusing, I suggest you take a look at the massive amount of documentation available on this subject on the web. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en is a good place to start. It's not necessary to use the complicated LEFT JOIN, INNER JOIN, etc, at first (until you have some pretty complicated queries). I hope this helps! - B. John Ryan wrote: Is it easy?? Is it possible??

Re: [PHP-DB] SELECT FROM 2 or more tables
A join merges every record in one table with every record in another table, which is something you rarely want to do. So you want to set a filter on the merged records, which can be anything, but is usually a match between a field in one table and a field in another table. That's a join in two sentences or less.

Re: [PHP-DB] storing images in a table or in a directory
Hi there, Why not do both? Store the images themselves in a dir, but reference them from a table, so that way you can control them pretty much totally via PHP and MySQL. You could them write a system to create thumbnails from selected items in the database or delete certain images etc . easily, because you'd have the filename/location etc . stored in the DB. That's how I do it anyway, as then you don't have to query each image uploaded everytime, as it queries while you are uploading the image and stores stats such as location, size, type etc ... in the DB. Just a thought :-) Chris Hi, I have to manage a large amount of images uploaded by users on my site.

Re: [PHP-DB] storing images in a table or in a directory
I store alot in databases.. when you deal with filesystem there can be issues with multiple webservers (need replication using something like rsync, etc).. I've used the db/filesystem link method before aswell but typically go with database nowdays.. You do have to query each time to get images out, be sure to look at sending correct cache headers to ensure clients don't keep coming back, or implement a caching system so that the webserver doesn't have to go back to the database for a query each time an image is requested..

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: IBM DB2 PHP 4.3.2 behaviour
Unfortunately it doesn't really work...

[PHP-DB] Re: SELECT FROM 2 or more tables
ive heard that before, and its in the mysql manual, to have something like WHERE table1.id = table2.id But does make any sense to me. What Im doing is providing a search form for customers that allows them to search each individual table for content or all tables. all tables have a common field, keywords, which i have searched. maybe im stupid, but i cant c where WHERE table1.id = table2.id would help, or sumting along that lines John Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it easy?? Is it possible?? Should I just run 2 different queries and output their results in the PHP script and make it look like it's all from the same table I cant grasp JOIN for the life of me -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
