[PHP-DB] variable names

2002-10-01 Thread Brendan Flynn 

Hello,

I have installed PHP4 with Apache support - the phpinfo works fine and I am
able to write PHP code to display a timetable from a MYSQL database. However
I cannot add or use the command insert when trying to add information.

I have done a few tests and when I run the same scripts with the values
already inputted the database is updated.
i.e.. instead of asking the user for the values, I inset them as follows
INSERT values $DNTable VALUES ('', 'crap', '555-555'); - and this works fine
and database is auto-incrementated. NOW if I replace 'crap' with $name or
$phone the database is updated BUT the values are blank.

ie. database
id name phone
1
2
3

Now I wrote a basic script that just displays the values inputted by a user
and they appear blank as well?

Any ideas?

Without more detail about your code, my first guess would be your
register_globals setting in php.ini. In PHP 4.2.x it's set to OFF which
means you have to refer to your variables like this example:
$_POST[varname];

[PHP-DB] Variable names

2002-04-02 Thread kodrik 

If I have a variable, how do I extract the name of the variable.

In principle:

$varname=somefunction($myvar);

The value of $varname is then myvar

How do I do it?
