Re: [PHP-DB] query help
well i guess you could do that. but it gets complicated after a while and there will be a lot of work and probably after a while you will get into some problems. You have to handle escaping, special types etc. Then what about performance? how to query the data ... using similar approach or is it just for inserts? there is a bit of work to make it really usable i guess. I am not saying its wrong though, I have seen this approach twice ... in general its possible. Maybe better choice would be to try to use some orm ? there are plenty of frameworks out there the only problem is the learning curve may be steep.

Hey, You can also try PEAR module MDB2 to insert an array into a table. The function is: executeMultiple. This works for other SQL queries too.

Re: [PHP-DB] Query help
Hi, I haven't seen the previous posts so I'm not sure want you want to do, but it looks like that you need to specify a join condition. If freerooms.room and booking.room are the corresponding fields from your table the query should look something like this SELECT count(freerooms.room), WEEK(MAX(booking.date),1), WEEK(MIN(booking.date),1) as total FROM freerooms LEFT JOIN booking ON freerooms.room=booking.room USING(room); or SELECT count(f.room),WEEK(MAX(b.date),1), WEEK(MIN(b.date),1) FROM freerooms f, booking b WHERE f.room=b.room Hope this helps Dobromir Velev -Original Message- From: Matt Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andrey Hristov [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:26 Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Query help This doesn't work either.
