Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Diff between 2 date
Hey Nandar and all, Check out this page: http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/php/calculating-difference-between-dates-php-051018/page1.html I found it by pluggin PHP difference between two dates into Google.

[PHP-DB] Populating drop downs
Hey all, Since I get so much great info and help from the lists I'm on, every now and then I like to try and give something back. I just finished some code that is pretty useful for populating one drop down based on the selection of a previous one, so I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone found it useful. I'm sure many of you already have a way to do this in your toolbox, but thought some may not. I've seen many examples of doing this Googling around, but found them overly complex, and I think I've come up with a quite simple and affective way to do it with not too much code. Basically, I had a need to populate a dropdown containing areas within the boroughs of New York City based on which borough was selected. So say they select Manhattan in the first dropdown, the second dropdown then becomes populated with the areas within Manhatan. The code builds the possible arrays for the second dropdown from the database when the page loads, then plugs them directly into the JS, making the whole arrangement dynamic. Change the DB and the dropdown adjusts accordingly. If you'd like to see the code email me off list and I'll pass it along. -- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 61 W Broadway Butte, Montana 59701 406-782-2240 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Using MAX with COUNT?
Hey all, I have a table like this: boroughID Area = 1 Chelsea 1 East Village 1 West Village 1 So Ho 2 Prospect Park 2 Brooklyn Heights 3 Prospect Heights What I want to know is which boroughID has the most area's assocated with it, and how many. So I tried this: SELECT max(count(*)) FROM `bsp_area` GROUP BY boroughID ...and got an Invalid use of group function error.

Re: [PHP-DB] Discussion board integration
Hey Dave, Thanks much for the tip. How about the log in integration. That was the toughest part about phpBB2, at least for me. I assume MyBB has some kind of independent log in? And how tough was it to accept a user ID say from a $_SESSION variable and auto-log in the user to the BB? Thanks, Skip Dave W wrote: Yea, phpBB2 is tough to integrate. I've been working with MyBB and I think it's great! The templating is very simple (By bb standards). It's less mature than phpBB, but they fix bugs faster and is quickly becoming very stable. It works a lot like vBulletin except it's free and open source. I know there is SMF too, but I don't use it, so I really can't tell you anything about it.

Re: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
If you use a GET and submit through the link you
don't carry the check box through with the POST.
Here is the code that I used after help from the list:
First, the JS function
script language='javascript'
function submitForm(letter)
{
document.search.letter.value=letter;//
put the letter in the post value
document.search.submit(); //
submit the form
}
/script
// the check box
td class='fieldprompt'All Campusesbrinput
type='checkbox' name='all_campuses' !!checked!!/td
... and the links that call the JS function:
form name='search'
action='modules.php?mod=listreq=listbooks'
method='post'
a href=javascript:submitForm('A')A/a
...etc, etc...
And finally the PHP code that picks up the value
for the letter selected.
$letter=$_POST['letter'];
$all_campuses=$_POST['all_campuses'];
This solution was very straightforward and a snap
to put in place. Gobs of thanks to the guys who
sent through suggestions.
I'm sure this is code that I'll be using again.

Couldn't you achieve the same effect without javascript by simply using GET
values instead of post? As in each hyperlink would say something like a
href=search.php?letter=aA/a a href=search.php?letter=bB/a,
although perhaps you're trying to intentionally avoid using GET as to not
clutter up their browser history.

Skip,
Just so you know, there is a general PHP user's list available for just such
a request. It's rather high-traffic, so be warned.
Now then, on to the problem. I believe I've figured out a way to make this
happen. I've only tested it on IE 6 and Firefox 1.5.0.4, so your browser
compatibility may vary. I'll just post the scripts I used to test it here
and you can take what you need and run with it.
Here is the script that my form is built in:
--
html
head
script language=Javascript
function submitForm (letter)
{
document.search.letter.value = letter;//
Here's where we're
setting the form value 'letter' to the letter the user clicked on.
document.search.submit(); // Then, submit
the form.
}
/script
/head
body
form name=search method=POST
action=testingLinkSubmit.php
input type=hidden name=letter value= !--
If this isn't here, the Javascript letter.value code won't work, since
form.letter doesn't exist. --
input type=checkbox name=checky/ Search all
campuses
br
?
for ($i = 65; $i = 90; $i++)
{
$letter = chr($i);
print a
href=\javascript:submitForm('$letter')\$letter/a ;
}
?
/form
/body
/html
-
The receiving end of the form looks much as you might expect, it just parses
the form values:
--
html
body
?
if (isset($_POST[checky]))
{
print Checkbox value is: Truebr\n;
}
else
{
print Checkbox value is: Falsebr\n; }
print Letter: . $_POST[letter];
?
/body
/html
And there you go! Let me know if you have any problems.

Hey all,
This is not database related, but I get the impression this list
entertains general PHP questions? If I'm mistaken, flame away.
I need submit a form when a hyper link is pressed, and have been
trying all manner of onlicks, etc, but have been unable to hit the
right combination.
Here's the scenario:
I have the alphabet in hyper links with a check box below:
form...
A B C D E F G H I J K.
[] check for all campuses
/form
What needs to happen is that when they click a
letter, which is a a href=... now, it submits
the check box value as well, to be read through
$_POST on the receiving end.
And of course I need to know what letter was
click, this I was trying to get through a
$_REQUEST var, but was not able to do so.
Any tips would be monstrously appreciated.

[PHP-DB] Getting directory from local machine?
Hey all, I have looked but been unable to find a way to allow the user to specify a directory on their local machine in which to download files using a similar mechanism as the browse button in and input type='file' type thing. Basically, this module needs to FTP all the files in a directory down to the local machine, and they need to be able to browse for the directory to place those files in. Is there such a way?

[PHP-DB] Uploading multiple files?
Hey all, I have a client who uses a Java applet to allow site members upload multiple files (photos) at a time, as many as 40 or 50 sometimes, to his site. He wants to get away from the applet and use a PHP solution that will fit more seamlessly into his site, but it still must be able to upload multiple files. Does anyone know of a way to construct a form such that multiple files can be highlighted in a single stroke, brought into say a textarea type field, and then uploaded? I can't think of a way to do this, so anyone that can point me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] Newly inserted record ID
I am very new to the list, but I get the impression that Jonathan below is rather new to programming in PHP/MySQL and lists like these are great resources for people without the many years of experience some of us have. And while mysql_insert_id() is old hat to most of us, to people with less experience it is not so obvious. So I'm always dissapointed to see more experienced programmers say things like Stut has said below because they tend to intimiate inexperienced coders, make them shy away from asking questions out of fear that gurus like Stut will say the kinds of things he has said below.

Re: [PHP-DB] Single quotes in INSERT statements?
Geez, did I start all this? I can see now that my initial assumption that addslashes() was not doing what it was supposed to do was wrong, and that I should have checked the DB before firing off the message. Clearly I should have done more investigation on my own. (Which is often the case.) However, the initial response that was made about perhaps the field itself truncating the data tipped me off to what I should have done previously, look in the database, so once I did that it was clear what the problem was. And then another list member had mentioned htmlentities() and that lit the the old proverbial overhead bulb, and bingo: problem solved. Perhaps a zig zag, somewhat sloppy path to the solution, and I accept responsibility for that, but a solution nonetheless. I must confess I'm happy about that. I do apologize for my assumption starting a thread that was misnamed, and not doing the diligence thing before firing off the message. But I certainly do value and appreciate the assistance given.
