Re: [PHP-DB] mysql query
$sql2 = "insert into Inventory (UPC, quant, manuf, item, orderpt,
ordrpt_flag, stock) values ('$upc', '$qnt','$mnf','$itm', '$odrpt', 0,
$stk)";
Looks like, you have the ' ' missing for $qnt and odrpt had the $ and the
'' missing.
The above query should work, I haven't tested it though.
Also for no error, have you turned off the PHP error reporting?
It probably is working on the command line, since you posted actual values
there and in the PHP code, you are using the variables which I think were
not wrapped in the query correctly?

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql query
Try the insertion like this:
$sql2 = mysql_query("insert into Inventory (`UPC`
, `quant`, `manuf`, `item`, `orderpt`, `ordrpt_flag`, `stock`)"
."values ('$upc', $qnt,'$mnf','$itm',
'$odrpt', '0', '$stk') " ) or die(mysql_error());

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql query
Ethan,
What about:
$result2 = mysqli_query(cxn, $sql2);
Doesn't look like you're sending it a connection link as a variable ($cxn)
and that's passed through as a literal?

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql query
Ethan,
It's hard to tell from the code formatting in your email what the exact
problem might be, but a few reasons that this might fail in PHP rather
than when sent to MySQL with hardcoded values:
1. var_dump/print_r $_POST to see what you're getting as input is what
you expect (and sanitize!).
2. Check that the SQL statement concatenation in PHP is building the
string you're expecting. It looks like you're joining 2 strings when
defining $sql2 that doesn't leave a space between the close parentheses
and "values." Compare this against what you're sending "on the command
line."
3. Get rid of all single quotes... escape your double quotes where
needed. This will avoid any variable-in-string interpolation errors and
may help you find the issue with input data. Same with your echo $sql2
statement... that's not going to give you the same thing as the print_r
below it.

The problem is that I do not get any error messages.
From this

Re: [PHP-DB] Mysql query
Chris I spent 3 hours debugging this query myself. I got as far as
putting '' around 2009-12-25 to get the desired results. I just added the
word DATE. It works, thanks.
Chris I run a verse of the day e-mail list. This query determines the
logic of the content (year round, Easter and Christmas). It is quite the
query to say the least.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Ron

(which isn't much better in email).
You're not getting '2' because the second part is returning 0.
I substituted dummy variables for your subqueries (select 1 and select 2).
SELECT COUNT( * )
FROM `verse_of_the_day_Bible_verses`
WHERE seasonal_use =2;
What does that return by itself?
that is what your query will run instead of my 'select 2'.
That in turn goes into the
select least(14, result_from_above_query);
and takes that away from date('2009-12-25');
If the current date is not in that range, it will return 0.
Here's the second part of your query isolated for you to test:
SELECT
IF
(
CURDATE() >=
DATE_SUB(
DATE('2009-12-25'),
INTERVAL LEAST(14, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
verse_of_the_day_Bible_verses WHERE seasonal_use=2)) DAY)
AND CURDATE() <= DATE('2009-12-25'),
2,
0
)

Hi, Peter -
Thanks for the suggestions. I did have error logging enabled, but I
wasn't writing any of my own errors to the log, so it wasn't doing me
much good. Once I started doing this, I was able to trace the source of
the error to the fact that this particular SQL script was meant to be
aimed at a different schema. The reason it worked in MySQL Query Browser
was that the required schema was already selected in the Query Browser
(ouch).
Sorry to have wasted the list's time with what turned out to be a silly
human error.
Dave

Hi,
I am running: PHP 5.2.8, Apache 2.2.11, MySQL 5.1.30 on Win32/XP.
I have a number of queries on my page which are very similar in
structure, and they all work except for the following one.
$mysql['process'] = $client2->real_escape_string($clean['process']);
$sql = "SELECT f.name, f.description
FROM files f, file_mapping m, processes p
WHERE m.file_id = f.id
AND p.name = '{$mysql['process']}'
AND m.process_id = p.id
AND m.io_flag = 'I'";
if ($client2->multi_query($sql)) {
echo 'Main Input Files';
do {
if ($result = $client2->use_result()) {
while ($input = $result->fetch_row()) {
$filename = $input[0];
$descr = $input[1];
echo ''.$filename.''.'
'.$descr.'';
}
$result->close();
}
} while ($client2->next_result());
}
If I echo the $sql, and then run it in MySQL directly, it works fine. I
have tried replacing the variable in the WHERE clause with a hardcoded
value and and have tried replacing this query with a very basic query
with no variable, but nothing has worked. No error message is returned.
Any suggestions as to what I might check? Here's an example of an echo
of the following $sql that runs OK in MySQL Query Browser:
SELECT f.name, f.description FROM files f, file_mapping m, processes p
WHERE m.file_id = f.id AND p.name = 'BCOM1AC' AND m.process_id = p.id
AND m.io_flag = 'I'
error_log("Hey, the SQL is: $sql");
Then look in your php error log (you do have error logging enabled,
right?)
If that SQL in the error log is fine, then your problem is
$client2->multi_query($sql) -- what does THAT return? What SHOULD it
return? What are you expecting it to return? Does it return what you
thought it did?
When you do "if ($var)" it can sometimes have unexpected results. If $var
is an empty string, it's still true, and executes. I don't know that
multi_query SHOULD return, or how to determine if it throws an error, but
that's one place to start.
Next, if multi_query worked, then this line is suspect:
if ($result = $client2->use_result()) {
This will always result in TRUE, as the assignment will always succeed.
Change it to:
if (($result = $client2->use_result())) {
(added parenthesis)

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Query Timeout program in PHP
Man- when the query is fired through the web interface- it rans on mysql server max_execution_time - wont' help evn I stop apache itself... Yes it will. Apache will be instructed to stop execution of any script by the mod_php module (assuming you are using mod_php). But mysql process probably won't stop running (not 100% sure for that) although php script has timed out. The query runs on mysql server - so I have to kill the PID on server itself... In order to do this you will need (in the unix world) to have rights to kill mysql processes. That means that you must become either root or the mysql user which is not that simple since everything that apache runs is usually running as the apache or the www user who can't kill those processes (at least if he can't su exec). I will have to note here that this is a bad practice of doing things...

Hi,
Im trying to get a query result from mysql database to
show it on a flash animation, so far i have this code
that its supposed to connect to mysql server , make
the query and get the results, store them on variables
so that flash can read them. Basically i have these
main fileds like : lastname, firstname and so on... a
guy here told me correctly that i should in case to
have more than one entry on the database, use the
output like lastname1, lastname2, etc. I gues this
code is doing that, but when i want to show that info
on flash i get eg:
lastname: smithn=0
lastname: jacksonn=1
when it should be
lastname: smith
lastname: jackson
...
...
So i guess im doing something wrong, can someone point
me in the right direcction??
Here is the php code:
No se pudo conectar " .
"al servidor MySQL." );
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_select_db("llamadas") ) {
echo( "No se puede encontrar " .
"la base de datos clientes!" );
exit();
}
$qr = mysql_query("select * from datos");
$nrows =
mysql_num_rows($qr);
$rString = "n=".$nrows;
for ($i=0; $i < $nrows; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qr);
$rstring .= "&Id".$i."=".$row['id'];
$rString .=

RE: [PHP-DB] mysql query plan
is there a join in the sql? Joins can be tricky since the order of the joins can determine the number of records selected from each table. If the joins result in a larger table joining with a smaller table, it could result in more than 30% of the rows being selected and the optimizer will ignore the index. Try moving the order of the records around. You may even want to split the query into pieces and let the application logic handle the resultsets. I had to do this with a long running query that produced 100 records for export (4+ minutes in a web environment). By splitting the 5 table join into 3 queries and application based arrays, I reduced the run time to about 10 seconds with 50x the output.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL query problems...
OK. I think I have resolved this issue. The problem I am
having now is that I have a simple table that is a list of systems to
exclude from the display. I am having trouble figuring out how to
structure my query to actually exclude the systems in this table. Here
is what I tried, and it gives me 13 instances of every entry, 13 is the
number of hostnames in the exclusion table.
$query = "SELECT AllMid_Data.CPU_Hostname FROM AllMid_Data, exclusion
WHERE AllMid_Data.CPU_IN_SVC = \"Y\"
AND AllMid_Data.CPU_DNS = \"sbcld.sbc.com\"
AND AllMid_Data.CPU_Hostname != exclusion.hostname
ORDER BY CPU_Hostname ASC";
$results = mysql_query($query, $Prod) or die(mysql_error());
$system = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
Additionally, what I am actually working towards is that if a
system shows up in either of the other queries it gets excluded from
this one. I have not tried anything to make that happen yet. I will
tackle that challenge once I can resolve this part. Thanks again.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL query problems...
Not quite correct, "No valis MySQL resource" means the query and/or link
failed in connection in some way. A correct and proper query MAY easily
return 0 rows and that is correct and will give you a valid resource
(handle) and simply no data.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL - Query within a query
I am looking to do the following w/ MySQL and PHP. Have 1 query that
gets
results, then use those results in another query:
$l = 2;
$result1 = ("SELECT * FROM Drivers WHERE League = $l");
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT DriverID, Driver, CarNbr FROM Drivers
LEFT
JOIN $LeagueList ON Drivers.DriverID = $Result1.DriverID
WHERE $Result1.DriverID) Is Null ORDER BY Drivers.DriverID");
If you're using MySQL 4.1, which supports subqueries, you might be able
to write this all up as one nice query (using a sub-select).

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL - Query within a query
Unlike ASP, $result1 is a handle to the dataset, not the data set itself.
You need to access the data first and then incorporate that into your query
like this:
$l = 2;
$result1 = ("SELECT * FROM Drivers WHERE League = $l");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result1);
$driverID = $row['DriverID'];
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT DriverID, Driver, CarNbr FROM Drivers LEFT
JOIN $LeagueList ON Drivers.DriverID = $driverID
WHERE $driverID) Is Null ORDER BY Drivers.DriverID");

One reason that my queries will look like what you described is that later I append more conditions.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Query Question
Jeremy, This question probably should be posted to the MySql mailing list but here goes. Take a look at this link: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Where_optimisations.html Your example was not very explicit so I am not sure, but I believe you are in need of a WHERE clause. For example; Select a, b, c where a >7 and c <> 0 This should get you going in the right direction. At 03:29 PM 1/23/03 -0600, Jeremy wrote: Hello, I need some help from you MySQL gurus out there.

1) Use InnoDB
2) If you cannot use innodb than you can write your code in the way you add
in an array
queries that will rollback the change :
if you do
$r1 = mysql_query('insert into some_table (k1,k2) values (4,2);');
$r1 = mysql_query('insert into some_table (k1,k2) values (5,3);');
you must have in the rollback array this
$rollback_ar = array('DELETE FROM some_table WHERE k1=4 and k2=2;',
'DELETE FROM some_table WHERE k1=5 and k2=3');
Hope this is clear.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Query Acting Up
I would suggest using ' instead of " for SQL queries...

From the skim, it seems as if it should pull all that match, since you didn't indicate you wanted only those distinctly, or a max value. Though often an Inner Join can act as a limiter as well, so that maybe why it worked. But anyway, the find all records, max or min of the value you want, group records (max, min, ave, count , etc. functions all REQUIRE the Group By, you'll generate an error if you forget it), then order them, should work.

Re: [PHP-DB] MYSQL query help
It's not the IN, it's the sub-query you cannot use. MySQL doesn't support
them and it's just about the main reason I don't like it.
Alternatives? You could execute your subquery and return the results to an
array. Loop through the array, using the index and the indexed element to
drive a series of queries, accumulating your results as you go.
If the number of items return by the subquery is not large, you could build
an "in set", for lack of a better term, so you would end up with " ... and
IN ("first", "second", ..."nth") ". (Check syntax!!) But that's likely to
be slower than cold molasses and run like a pig.
If you're not too far into the project, and you will have a lot of
subqueries, switch to PostgreSQL or a database that supports them.
I don't really have an answer. I hope someone comes up with a more elegant
solution.

When you use mysql_fetch_array you're actually retrieving an array with
two copies of the value you're looking for. One is indexed by the column
number and one indexed by the column name. So it looks like you're
looping through them both and printing each out. You might want
mysql_fetch_assoc (to use just the column name) or mysql_fetch_row (to
use just the column number)

Of course it did. It can't find the text $ContactID in the table. Try
putting in a number (1,2,3, etc.) and see if it works.
If it does, try echo'ing out the $ContactID and the $sql to the screen. See
if $ContactID really is set and then try the output of $sql in the MySQL
client.
';
$sql="SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE ContactID='$ContactID'";
echo 'SQL query is: ' , $sql, '';
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);
printf("%s\n", mysql_result($result,"FirstName"));
printf("%s\n", mysql_result($result,"LastName"));
?>
Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql query problem
ContactID is setup as a tinyint so I dropped the single ticks. No luck. I
ran the query in the MySQL client and got the ERROR 1054: Unknown column
'$ContactID' in 'where clause'. I know the column ContactID exists.

RE: [PHP-DB] mysql query problem
In your query, do you need the single ticks around the $ContactID? Is the
ContactID column a char/varchar field which would require the single ticks?
I'm wondering if that's causing your problem. Also, what if you do that
query via the MySQL client? What do you get then?
