RE: [PHP-DB] help me on projecting some tables
1. Don't know answer to question. However, surround the INSERTs with
LOCK/UNLOCK Table commands to prevent the problem you desecribe.
Or, the script (PHP,PERL,C,Python...) can insert product record, retrieve
the product_id, then use that for the product_id into the traits table.

A couple of questions:

1. Will LAST_INSERT_ID() work reliably in a multi-user environment? What
happens if you're
in the middle of inserting a dozen records and someone else inserts a
record? Does MySQL
keep the LAST_INSERT_ID()s separate (since the web application will see both
transactions
as being done by the same "user")?
2. Is there any benefit to having a 3rd table to keep track of
"characteristic"s ? I guess
that quesiton is best answered by examining the business needs. If the
characteristics are
few and don't change often, it seems to me that you'd want a 3rd table to
keep them. That
way, the spelling is similar, etc, and therefore you can do (accurate)
queries based on
the characteristics (if the need ever came up)

Carlo,
Your question is the reason for the invention of the relational database.
Please do NOT add columns for "planned expansion". How many extra columns
would you need? 4? 10? 25? 100? Such a schema is wasteful of storage.
There are several ways to go about this. For example:
CREATE TABLE products(
product_id int auto_increment primary key,
description char(50) default "",
quantity int not null,
unit enum ("each","lb","ounce","gallon","quart"),
price decimal(5,2) not null
)
CREATE TABLE traits(
characteristic char(25) default "",
product_id int,
description char(25)
)
In the above example, when you wanted to add a characteristic for a
particular product, you simply add a record into traits and set
traits.product_id equal to products.product_id. This will make it REAL EASY
doing joins on this combo as well. For example:
INSERT INTO products VALUES(NULL, "Coca Cola",1,"ounce",0.39);
INSERT INTO traits VALUES("Liquid",LAST_INSERT_ID(),"Seltzer-based");
INSERT INTO traits VALUES("Added Chemicals",LAST_INSERT_ID(),"Sugar");
INSERT INTO traits VALUES("Added Chemicals",LAST_INSERT_ID(),"Brown Dye");
INSERT INTO traits VALUES("Added Chemicals",LAST_INSERT_ID(),"Caramel
coloring");
To get all the characteristics for a given product:
SELECT * FROM products LEFT JOIN traits USING(product_id) ORDER BY
char_1.characteristic
In another example, if multiple products will come in multiple styles, you
would create a table called STYLES and insert a record for each style
available:
CREATE TABLE styles(
color char(10) default "",
product_id int,
)
INSERT INTO products VALUES(NULL,"Bread",1,"each",1.49);
INSERT INTO styles VALUES( "White",LAST_INSERT_ID() );
INSERT INTO styles VALUES( "Black",LAST_INSERT_ID() );
INSERT INTO styles VALUES( "Wheat",LAST_INSERT_ID() );
INSERT INTO styles VALUES( "Hawaiian",LAST_INSERT_ID() );

not really sure how to do this, other than planning for as much as you can

Characteristic_Name, Characteristic_Value, and Product_Refer_ID.
so then if you get a new characteristic (eg colour) then you could have

You can keep calling the function every time you need the value
$stringlength =
strlen(generatesectionlink($sectionID,$contentID);
OR
you could just assign the return-value of the function to a variable and
use that for the remainder of that run through the loop.
$thislink = generatesectionlink($sectionID,$contentID);
$linklength = strlen($thislink);
echo $thislink;

RE: [PHP-DB] Help Me Fix My User Defined Funtion
Ok, fair enough. Basically the top had all my MySQL calls and then it's followed by - However, since posting my question, I have solved it by doing the following: Which works but what if I wanted to use the results to do something else? Like take the string ($link) and count the lenght of it (just an example).

(It's down below) The function itself looks fine to me...is it possible there's a problem in the way you're calling it?

Re: [PHP-DB] Help Me!
the way i have attacked a similar situation in the past was to create my own formatting system - kind of a pseudo-html set-up, which made use of conventions like; **bold** %%italic%% __underline__ !!titlefont!! etc etc then you can save the article directly into the DB, as a text or whatever, and when you print it out, do something like; echo specialTxtFormat($articleBody); a function which would include a call to nl2br() as well as the replacement of things like **bold** for bold enjoy At 04:13 AM 2/1/01 +, Sridhar Ranganathan wrote: >Hi Netlanders > >I have just undertaken a web site construction project.

Re: [PHP-DB] Help Me!
Why bother with pseudo ? Just only have , , and allowed in the database. Also, storing the and tags may be important. Be sure not to do things like allowing font color or face; although relative size might be ok (FONT SIZE="-1") etc. Siggy - Original Message - From: "Beau Lebens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sridhar Ranganathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Help Me! > the way i have attacked a similar situation in the past was to create my > own formatting system - kind of a pseudo-html set-up, which made use of > conventions like; > > **bold** > %%italic%% > __underline__ > !!titlefont!! > > etc etc > then you can save the article directly into the DB, as a text or whatever, > and when you print it out, do something like; > > echo specialTxtFormat($articleBody); > > a function which would include a call to nl2br() as well as the replacement > of things like > > **bold** for bold > > enjoy > > At 04:13 AM 2/1/01 +, Sridhar Ranganathan wrote: > >Hi Netlanders > > > >I have just undertaken a web site construction project.
