If you want to add the capability for those weird, foreign
names [ ;^) ], take a look at the RegEx on this page:

You could use a Regular Expression:

[PHP-DB] Display of fetched MySQL data?

2004-03-24 Thread W. D.
Hi Folks,

I am trying to display a list of retrieved records, but can't seem
to figure out how to do this properly.  Here is what I am aiming
for:

\n";

  // Loop through the fields
  for ($FieldIdx = 1; $FieldIdx <= NumFields; $FieldIdx++) 
{
// Display the fields and associated data

/*  What code goes here? */

}
  } // End for ($RowIdx = 1; $RowIdx <= NumRows; $RowIdx++)

?>

How do I properly display the fieldname and its associated data?
I know that you can do something like this using foreach, but
I wanted a generic routine where you don't necessarily know
the fieldnames.

Any hints?  (Thanks if you do!)

Adam is right.  Make backups of all the files, then do the edits.

If you have Windows, Replacem is great:
http://www.Orbit.org/replace/

Does a similar program exist for GUI Linux/FreeBSD?

Re: [PHP-DB] TIME CALCULATION IN PHP

What happens when they start at 23:59 and end at 01:30?  This
may never happen in your situation, but it's always wise to 
plan for this possibility.

UnixTime has dates, time in hours mins & secs so you can
add and subtract easily.

There are a number of functions in PHP that allow you to
manipulate these.  For more info:
