[PHP-DB] formatting a date from mysql
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.

[PHP-DB] getting rows by an ID field or by another field in a table
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 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP-DB] Question on Registration Method
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. -JC -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] FW: db design - which is better
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 Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Help please
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.
