Re: [PHP-DB] novice on table design
actually, no, Shop, Employee, and Customer are not distinct. in your instance they are the same type of entry. don't distinguish them by tables, rather use a column to hold some sort of an ID for each type. of course you'll end up with a table with many columns, and many of them will be null depending on which type an entry is. but with this approach, you can easily associate with an address table.

Miguel Guirao [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The schema of your table is wrong, is you do bnormalize it you will find out that you need two tables for this approach. One table for your people and another one for the n addresses of your people. If you keep your current schema, you will have as many rows for one person as many addresses for that person you have, and you will be duplicating many fields. So you must split your tables, one for your people and another for your people's addresses. -Original Message- From: tony yau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Viernes, 13 de Mayo de 2005 09:27 a.m. To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] novice on table design Hi all, I have the following tables EmployeeCustomernon-Customer Address ======= pkey pkeypkey pkey number type type ... payrate grantcapital I need to allow the three types of people to have n addresses, so I've added a type to distinguish the 3 types of people and their respective pkey onto address table.

[PHP-DB] Using fopen() for internet URL
I have an auto-update script to gather some information from other web pages to update information in my database.

[PHP-DB] fopen() question and auto update question
has any of you have any problem with fopen() that it can't open some web page? i am trying to use it to gather information from other web pages, but i am having problem with one particular website, macmall.com. might anyone know what the problem is? also, if there is no solution to this, i am going to have to abandon the idea by using fopen() to gather information. can anyone suggest an alternative way, which won't cost me too much time to get to it? there will be around 200 data to be updated each time. thanks a lot.

[PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
I need to send myself an email in one of my PHP page.
So i wrote the following code:

$result = mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], test, test123);
if ($result)
echo mail sent;

Re: [PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
EarthLink is my DSL ISP, so its smtp server is not likely to block my
mail.
Besides, I can send email with my mail program just fine.
I tried the similar thing on a friend's smtp server where I have access
to the log, weird thing is I didn't even see PHP trying to access the
smtp server.
I need to figure out why it's not working fast...
Thanks to your help.

Ah, that must be it.
I am running a Mac OS X server, which is Darwin based.
Guess I should go with sendmail.

Is it a windows server that you're using? SMTP only works for windows.
Anything else uses sendmail or equivalent.
