Hi,
I've a problem with the following script. Sometimes it does write the
data into the database, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't $result is
completely blank, otherwise it is 1. $sql always returns the propper
values even though $result is blank. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing
wrong?
$result = mysql_query($sql);
Try changing this to (for example)
if(!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
echo MySQL error . mysql_errno() . - . mysql_error();
die();
}
and see what you get. There's probably some problem with the database
connection.

[PHP-DB] PHP date calculations and db (slightly OT)
Hello list,
I have a database where people can reserve our computer class.
The columns are time_from, time_to, name_id, res_date, confirmed.
I have a table (HTML, not db *g*) that's supposed to print out a=20
month, starting from day 1 to num_days_in_month, and print the
numbers in the right spot as so:
May, 2002
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| 29 | 30 | 1 | 2 | 3 =A6 4 | 5 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|...etc...|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where 29 and 30 will be grayed out, and if there's a reservation
on, say, Friday, it'll show friday the 3rd bold (and as a link).
I've got a function that returns a $dates array where I've saved the
name of the first day of the month, number of days in month, name of the
month and number of the month. Now I'm confused as to how I would=20
parse the information when printing out the (HTML-)table. What I've
got so far is
for($w=3D1;$w=3D5;$w++) { // max. 5 weeks in a month
echo(tr); // table row
for($d=3D1;$d=3D7;$d++) { // days in week
for($res=3D0;$res=3D$num_rows;$res++) { // counter for array from
db
now the problem is, that if I work further on this, I end up with
about four-five for-loops, which doesn't seem to be such a good idea.
The other problem is that I really don't have a clue as to where I'd
smack in a counter for the number of days in the month. However much
I ponder this I can't reach a sensible conclusion. It seems that putting
the loop just about anywhere would be a performance loss ;)
Anyone ever done anything like this?
Cheers,
Markus

Well, I intentionally left a few lines and curly brackets and stuff off
the mail, so that wasn't the problem. I've solved it though (sort of).
Turns out I was blind, after all. See, I use a Finnish layout on my
keyboard. I get curly brackets by pressing AltGr+7/AltGr+0.
I seem to have accidentally held down AltGR and pressed space after a
curly bracket, which results in some sort of empty character, but a
character nevertheless. ;) I have the same problem in my gnome terminal
too, typing, for example 'ps -aux | grep whatever'. I get, every now and
then, complaints about bash not being able to find ' grep'. ;)

And that's basically it. There's a function responsible for
reading user input and constructing the sql-query, and it
places the sql in $query, stuffs it down MySQL and throws
it over to print_taulukko(), and it seems to be working right,
since the first result always is the correct one. It also session_registers
$query. (yes, I use session_register(query), not session_register($query).)
I checked the sess_whatever file step by step when testing again just to see
exactly what is put in it, but it seems to be a well-behaved little textfile.
Make any sense out of the code?

Somehow when I print the value of $query, it looks fine. Then, when I change $query a bit and print it again, it looks fine. Change it a third time, and it suddenly gets the value it had in the beginning. Ideas as to how one would go about solving this little problem?

Well, for instance, this screws up the $query. It works if one clicks
once on the next-button, but clicking another time resets the query to
SELECT

$page++;
$replace_with= (($page) * 20).,;
echo replace_with: . $replace_with;
$replace = (($page-1) * 20).,;
echo replace: .$replace;
$query=ereg_replace($replace,$replace_with,$query);
}
}
It's the LIMIT 0,20 - LIMIT 20,20 - LIMIT 40,20 that doesn't work. Strange thing is,
that
it worked about a week ago. : \
I can't really recall changing that part of the code at all at that point.

$query = SELECT . $tables . FROM uusi_lehtitaulu L, nimet N WHERE

Try doing something like:

SELECT mag_names.id as mag_id,
'1234-5678' as issn,
'2001' as year,

'1-52' as numbers,
'foobar' as remarks,
FROM mag_names WHERE mag_names.name='Asdf';
I don't know if that will work as-is, but something along those lines
should give you what you need.
Well, here's how I ended up doing it before I red your mail:
$concat_string = SELECT CONCAT_WS(\,\,\;
if(isset($inputName)) {
if(!$result=mysql_query(SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE
mag_names.name=$inputName)) {
die(error);
}
if(!$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if(!$result=mysql_query(INSERT INTO mag_nimes (name) VALUES
\$inputName\)) {
die(error);
}
elseif(!$result=mysql_query(SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE
mag_names.name=$inputName)) {
die(error);
}
}
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$concat_string .= Name=\\\ . $row[id] . ,\;
}
Then concatenate Name, ISSN and everything else to construct the end of my
nice little UPDATE mag_table SET ... -sentence, pass it through mysql and
concatenate the UPDATE sentece and the result from the previous mysql query,
stick a little duct tape here, a bit of super glue there and a few five-inch
nails and stuff the whole thing down mysql. : )
Well, it works. : )

[PHP-DB] Replacing * with %
Hello all! I can't for the love of god get neither ereg_replace nor str_replace to work. I wan't to replace * with % so I can use SELECT ... WHERE whatever LIKE string% in MySQL. I've tried ereg_replace(*,%,$search_name). Didn't work. I tried escaping the asterisk. I tried double-escaping the asterisk. I tried str_replace(*,%,$search_name), and that didn't work either. I tried just about everything I could think of, escaping, double- escaping and triple-escaping ad nauseum, but it just wont work. Oh, yes, I also tried $search_name=ereg_replace(blablabla); What a surprise. It didn't work. Yes, I've RTFM, RTMFM, read from my PHP Blackbook to phpbuilder.net and just about everything in between.

[PHP-DB] Combining INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO

Haven't got it to work, though. Is this even possible? The other option would be to use three(?) mysql_query calls from my PHP-code, but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

Then work out how to join the two 'source' tables to create each record in turn (write the SELECT clause). Then construct the INSERT clause, slap the SELECT on its end, and the retrieved data will be inserted into the new_mag_table, eg: [snip] Yes, I remember that I had an idea like that a while back, but then I forgot it :-) One tends to forget things after working for 11-12 hours/day three days in a row... : ) I did just that now, and it works like a charm!

[PHP-DB] Updating table with data from another table in the same database
Hello, all! I have the daunting task of porting an Access database to MySQL. It's unbeliveably poorly designed, and columns id, name, issn, year, info, volume, numbers and remarks. I made another table, names, that's got columns id and name. I used INSERT INTO names (name) SELECT DISTINCT mag_table.name FROM mag_table to get, as one would expect, the distinct magazine names into the names- table. Now, what I'd want to do, is to replace the names in mag_table with the id-numbers from the names table, but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried UPDATE mag_table SET name=names.id WHERE name=names.name but MySQL tells me the following : ERROR 1109: Unknown table 'names' in where clause I haven't go perror to work at all, it just says Unknown error. Has anyone ever done anything like this, and, if so, how? I was thinking about a PHP-script, but if someone has got a query that would take care of this I wouldn't have to get into that.

[PHP-DB] Problem with MySQL and array loop
Hello,
I've got a really strange problem.
When looping through a result given by mysql_fetch_row(),
the code for some reason ignores the last column in the database.
The code snippet I'm using now is
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
print(TR);
for($i=0;$i7;$i++) {
print(TD);
if($row[$i]==) {
print(P ALIGN=\CENTER\BN/A/B/P);
}
else {
printf(P ALIGN=\CENTER\%s/P, $row[$i]);
}
print(/TD);
}
print(/TR);
}
The database has got eight columns, and I can't for the world figure
out why it doesn't work. I have exactly the same problem with another
PHP-app that I'm developing, too, so if someone has got a solution to
my problem, I'd probably get the other app working too.
What is it I'm missing, or am I just stupid?
I opt for the second choice. :)
Cheers,
Markus
