[PHP-DB] Re: JOIN question

My question though, is on looking through their ACCESS database, there seem to be table joins - or at least that's what I understand they would be under MySQL 4. How can I read information from 3 tables at the same time? I am a little confused, I gather you use JOIN but I'm not sure how it works, could someone please show me an easy to follow example? Thanks, I really appreciate it. Oh and so far, on the pages that I haven't had to use JOINS, I can honestly say that MySQL is FAR faster than ACCESS from what I'm seeing in my development here. Chris Check out http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/JOIN.html for the syntax and examples, and also http://www.google.com/search?q=sql+tutorial as a starting point for some SQL tutorials which will cover joins in more detail than you will probably get here. -- David Robley Shh!

Re: [PHP-DB] generating reports in php
Sorry for my mistake, I need reports based on information stored in a mysql database, I need an easy way to produce tipical reports with header, footer and several detail groups I don´t need graphics, only a functional way to generate the reports storing them in XML...in fact I'm asking if is there any tool with a GUI to generate reports from a mysql in an easy way, perhaps creating an XML and the XSL asociated so its easy to create customizable HTML reports, my problem is that I need to build a lot of different reports and I´m looking for a way to do this in a faster way, I´m not an expert in PHP but in Java there many packages to do this like datavision http://datavision.sourceforge.net/ o jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/ thanks in advance CArlos Mikhail U.

[PHP-DB] MySQL software question
Is there a piece of software that will allow my to create MySQL databases and table relations in a graphical format without having to connect to the database? I am looking for something where I can point and click the creation of tables and easily create several relationships between tables ( kinda like in access ) and when in done it will create the .sql file? I prefer this to be a desktop application. Thanks
Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL software question
May be ERwin or BPwin can help you. imho ERwin works with MSSQL, Access, so maybe new versions work with MySQL too.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL software question
I have ERwin 4.1.2208 installed, and it connects to MySQL only through ODBC, so one needs to have the MyODBC.dll installed. You can then make an ODBC connection with it. But ERwin is probably a $4,000.00 software package. Pretty steep for an individual... dave May be ERwin or BPwin can help you. imho ERwin works with MSSQL, Access, so maybe new versions work with MySQL too.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL software question
I've used ERWin recently with MySQL 4.1.x and it works well. It's fairly expensive, but they do have demo versions available. As with any WYSIWYG program you'll probably want to clean up the final product before using it. -Original Message- From: Mikhail U.

[PHP-DB] RE: Session Values Change
Jacob,
Here is my solution.
At the top, it checks to see if you are passing a new name via a querystring.
If not, it checks to see if a name is present in the session yet. If not, it
initializes the session to Jacob. It puts the session's value into the variable
$view.
If you passed a name, it stores the name in the session and has it in the variable
$view.
Now, $view will have a name that the SQL statement can use.
At the bottom, where you choose a name, it simply passes the name selection back to
the page via a querystring field.
Try the following (notice the changes at the top and the links around the names at the
bottom):
?php
session_start();
$view = $_GET['view'];
if ($view == '')
{
if (! isset($_SESSION['view']))
{
$_SESSION['view'] = Jacob;
}
$view = $_SESSION['view'];
} else {
$_SESSION['view'] = $view;
}
?

Subject: Session Values Change
Hello,
I am trying to start a blog page where the person selects their person they
want to view (bottom of the page) and then it somehow changes the session
variable (top of the code) and then accesses the database. I was wondering,
what is the correct way to do something like this. I have tried a couple of
options (a hrefs) but they didn¹t seem to work and was wondering if anybody
had any suggestions.
Thank You In Advance

[PHP-DB] php mysql dates
Hi all, currently I have a form which prompts for the user to choose a date. The dropdown lists are stored into variables: $month//e.g. January, February, ... $day //e.g 1 - 31 $year //e.g. 2004 (four digits) then combined into $articleDate How can I manipulate this variable to be in such a format that I can insert the information into a DATE column in a mySQL database. Dates are a bit of a mystery to me as PHP and MySQL handle them differently. Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Sure I understand Y-m-d. But won't the database cry because the Month is in text format? (January, february)? Thanks again.

Whoops, I should read *all* the text of the question...
Easiest way to deal with that, IMHO, is strtotime and date.
$mysqlDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($month.' '.$day.', '.$year));
If you're using dates far in the past or future, though, this won't
work. Better to use a date handling class, such as:

RE: [PHP-DB] php mysql dates
I would suggest creating the select dropdown so that the value is actually the numeric
value of the month. i.e:
select name=month id=month size=1
option value=01January/option
option value=02February/option
.
.
.
/select
Then you can do a simple concat before adding to the database.
