[PHP-DB] formatting a date from mysql

2005-12-12 Thread Eternity Records Webmaster
I need to figure out how to format the date format: year-month-day
(2005-12-06). It is a date(8) field in a mysql table that i pulled out of
the table with php 5.0.5. I need it in the format: Tue December 6, 2005 (or
in mysql's formatting: 6-12-2005). I am using the reformatting for display
only. So it would be something like this:

echo $journal['Date']; //with whatever formatting needed

If possible I need php to do the formatting for me. Thanks...

[PHP-DB] getting rows by an ID field or by another field in a table

2005-12-06 Thread Eternity Records Webmaster
I have a table with the fields:
CREATE TABLE `journal` (
  `Date` date NOT NULL,
  `subject` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `entry` longtext NOT NULL
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Journal table';

I was wondering if I should get the rows out by an ID field of some kind or
maybe do a select on the subject? what would be the real best way? I am
trying to get the date/subject to list on a webpage in a table and then when
someone clicks on the subject (it will be a link), it will take them to a
popup window (target=_blank) and then display the whole entry
date/subject/entry. whats the best practice for that sort of thing?

thanks

RE: [PHP-DB] Question on Registration Method

2004-09-26 Thread Webmaster
 I'm getting an error using the
 mysql_num_rows($result)

 Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a
 valid MySQL result resource in
 /home/lurkkcom/public_html/lurktivate.php on line 7

Did you happen to remember to change fields in the query string to your
table column names, and then table to your table name?

 Why am I counting the number of rows in the table? 
 Shouldn't I be looking to see if the code I was passed
 exists within the table ?

If a result is returned, i.e. the number of rows returned is greater than 0,
the page received a valid code and the user exists.

Re: [PHP-DB] FW: db design - which is better

2004-02-07 Thread webmaster
 There just seems to be times when non-normalized table structures are
easier
 to work with.

There are times when de-normalizing is acceptable.  One of the more common
uses of denormalized data is in data warehousing.  Such as pre-summing
sales, and storing pre-calculated aggregate information to relieve the db of
doing heavy or complex calculations when summary data is going to be queried
on a frequent basis.

Often php-based message boards will use columns of pre-sumed data as part of
a normal table (for example, a count of total user posts stored in the
user table, that is incremented/decremented when a user adds/deletes a post,
or the total number posts in a given thread stored in the topic table).
This helps to allieviate the need for a count() whenever a message thread is
built and you want to show the number of posts each user in the thread has,
etc.

So there are some acceptable situations :)

Cheers,
Keith.

[PHP-DB] Insert Variables Into A Passed String

Hey,

I'm trying to figure out how to make a custom message.  What I have is a

in that section like so:

Dear $username.

When I press submit, I want the query to cycle through a list of names (got
this part) and where it finds the variables in the text, replaces them with
the proper content.  Like:

Dear steven

How can I do something like this?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Help please

2001-04-10 Thread webmaster


 I assume that the username field is text. You need to add single quotes
 around the field.

 $validate = mysql_query("SELECT username, user_password FROM users
 WHERE username='".$uname."'",$db);


Actually, it did help, and it didn't ;p

It would seem there is a scoping issue with the $db parameter.  its giving a
not valid SQL-link because it no longer sees the db connection.  It has to
do with the way the page calls itself I think... though it isn't very clear
to me.  If I include the connect code for the db in the else block it
connects fine, and the simple select I have in the code sample works.  But I
don't wanna have the db connect code in there if possible...I want the
connect code in one file only, and included on the header for the page...oh
well :)

If I figure out what is happening I will post it to this list.

Thanks for helping,
Keith.


 OR simply:

 $validate = mysql_query("SELECT username, user_password FROM users
 WHERE username='$uname'",$db);

 Hope this helps.
