select MAX()
what you are looking for? I know it works on numeric columns, I'm not sure
if it works on non-numbers, you'd have to look it up in a SQL Tutorial
somewhere.
Good luck!

The quick answer is that that is what it's supposed to return... that's all
the result is. A nicer, longer answer is to give you some of my code so you
can see one way that you actually get the data out (I use sybase_fetch_row,
but you can also use _fetch_array which returns an associated array
You could probably use:
$start = time();
//run query
$end = time();
and then compare start and end. I don't know how time() formats the time,
but that's probably on PHP.net.

In theory, if your writers are using a word processor such as Word you could
try just saving as HTML and seeing if that works. I doubt they'd appreciate
it if you asked them to write in FrontPage, but that would give you what you

This can be done with JavaScript - I don't know if you can do it in PHP. I

on the first state that was chosen I populated the compare with the other
states. If you want me to send you my code I can. It uses another fil
I'd try building it piece by piece if you do have too many combinations -

my programs and it works).

$firstName = "";
$lastName = ""; etc.
Then you can set each one based on the selectio
Try doing a select distinct on that field and then loop through the results,
adding each one to your drop-down box as you go.
I don't have the exact code anymore because we stopped doing it that way,
but that's the basic idea of how to go about it.
I hope it helps!

There are a few ways to split up text based on a delimiter. I recommend you
look at split and explode on the PHP.net site and see what seems to be best
for your situation. Once you go to one of them they link you to other
functions that do similar things. I believe explode is faster but I can't
In my database (Sybase) that won't work. You have to use

You could make hidden vars in your HTML page (in a form that submits to your
PHP), alter their values in the JS, and then when you submit to the PHP it
will have those. Then you can use $HTTP_POST_VARS to access the variables
from inside the PHP. There might be an easier way, but I know this way

I don't understand the second part of your question but for the first part
you can use a select distinct in your SQL statement and then loop through
the result to put things into a drop down box. I just printed the HTML with
the var name in there and it worked well.
Good luck!

I'm not sure if other people have lots of db problems with PHP but we had
enough that we switched our website around so it has a perl page that
creates the HTML page, queries the db, and sends the data into PHP to have
it draw a graph based on the data. It's more complicated, but perl never
fails
I'm working on a project right now where we call PHP from within an HTML
page, send it vars using a POST method, and then use that to draw a graph.
We're drawing bar graphs now but one of my coworkers did a line graph. You
call the PHP as an tag and have PHP return a .png. We used the
