[PHP-DB] Echo with extra characters
I have the following code in my page as a header.
?
if ($mainarea==Language)
{
header(Location:add_5-14_material.php?mainarea=$mainarea);
}
else
{
}

When I echo $mainarea I get \'Language\'. I think it is something to do
with my quotation marks but need some help.
How do I get rid of the ' and \ so that I am left with my variable?.

$emailaddress is set in the config.inc.php file and comes in alright as

However, the mail is sent from the following:

Is there a way to tell the PHP Server where the mail is coming from.
There is an item in your php.ini
sendmail_from string
Which From: mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under
Windows.
If you look at the docs for mail(), you'll see that there are
also examples of using the fourth argument to mail() for extra headers,
including the From: header. I am not sure whether using From: under
Windows works in lieu of the php.ini entry.

Lisi I realised that just after my last post. I also realised that I would never get it to work until I make some alterations to my network. I have a broadband cable modem connected to a Windows 98 system which I use for everything. For test purposes I added a Windows 2000 system and at the moment I am reluctant to spend the time changing over the modem and I can't seem to get the Windows 2000 PC to connect through the Modem on the Windows 98 mc. I may just get as far as I can and take a chance on working on the ISP.

order by eventdate';
=well done!
However the TO-DAYS calls do seem a bit OTT.

When I echo ($eventdate) I get nothing. Not even an error.
The problem is that
$eventdate = $row[eventdate];
(which doesn't need the around the whole of the RHS (some would put
them around eventdate), BTW)

Alex,
enterdate text NOT NULL
eventdate text NOT NULL
First, I think I would change the above to a date or datetime or one of
the
other date time fields used by mysql instead of text fields.
Second I don't think you really need to use TO DAYS and now. This is what
I
do.
use php date function to get the current date,
$todaysdate = date(Ymd);
then do the query,
$query = SELECT id, eventheading, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M %Y) as
evdt FROM notices WHERE eventdate = $todaysdate ORDER BY

Your $eventdate variable is an array, not a string so you can't just
drop it into an sql query string like that.
If you have separate fields in the db for year, month and day then you
probably want something like:
$query = insert into ... values ( ... , '$eventdate[0]',
'$eventdate[1]', '$eventdate[2]', ...);
Otherwise, if they're all supposed to go into the same field then do
something like:
$eventdatestring = join(-, $eventdate);
$query = insert into ... values ( ..., '$eventdatestring', ...);
This should insert the date in the form eventyear-eventmonth-eventday;

code as follows: $eventdate = array (eventyear, eventmonth,
eventday);
when I insert it into the database like: $query = INSERT INTO
$tablename4
VALUES ('0', '$entername', '$date', '$eventdate', '$eventheading',
'$eventbody' );
for the $eventdate variable the word array is inserted.
Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong.

[PHP-DB] Access to Mysql
I am a complete newbie at this so please excuse me if I seem stupid. I have a guestbook on one site which was created using ASP and an Access database. I have created a new site using the much more friendly PHP and wish to get the data into my mysql database. Can I do this easily, and if so can anyone point me to the required information -- Alex Francis Cameron Design 35, Drumillan Hill Greenock PA16 0XD Tel 01475 798106 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.camerondesign.co.uk This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.

[PHP-DB] Adding to an empty field
I have an empty field in a mysql database table which needs to have text
inserted when my client answers an email. The code is as follows
$query = 'UPDATE submissions SET answers = $array[answer] where id = $id
';
// $query = $query . where id = $id ;
// echo (The query is: BR$queryP\n);
if (mysql_db_query ($dbname, $query, $link)){
echo (The answer was successfully inserted!BR\n);
} else {
echo (The answer could not be inserted! . mysql_error () . BR\n);
}
mysql_close ($link);
The query seems to work alright, no errors showing up and The answer was
successfully inserted! displayed. However, the table is not updated and I
cannot see why. The same happens on another page when I try to insert a 'Y'.
This script was copied from a third page which works alright.
I hope someone can help. I am going mad!!!.

Re: [PHP-DB] Adding to an empty field
Still having problems
$array[answer] is passed from a previous page with this page.
p align=rightAnswer: TEXTAREA NAME=array[answer] ROWS=8
COLS=60/TEXTAREABR
? echo (TDA HREF=\submit_answer.php?id=$idtask=submit\Submit
Answer/A/TD);?/TR
Have tried changing to array[$answer] on both pages without any luck.
Changed the code to:
$query = UPDATE submissions SET answers = \.$array[$answer].\ where id
= \$id\;
and added the following:
echo mysql_affected_rows();
affected rows returns 0 although query returns the correct id

What is $array[answer]. Should that be $array[$answer] ?
Second, change to:
$query = 'UPDATE submissions SET answers = \.$array[$answer].\ where
id
= \$id\;
Ya gotta quote that text.
