[PHP] RE: [Lamp-user] [PHP] Pasting text from MS Word into PHPmyAdmin

2004-11-29 Thread Giz
I think by default phpmyadmin wants to use the iso-8859-1 character set. This matches the typical mysql Latin-1 character set which is also 8859-1. So I think where the issue may be is that Word is not using 8859-1. Figuring this out is not easy, but the basic idea is that you are probably having

There's a sessions tutorial on phpfreaks.com that outlines the basics of using sessions. I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say you don't want to do url rewriting. Without either cookies or passing a url param, there is no way to determine if the request comes from someone who has an active

CSV just stands for comma separate values. CSV support is pretty common as a way of moving data between applications, and most all spreadsheets support it. It's just a text file like this: Value1,value2,value3 Sometimes you might have a string delimiter like so: Value1,value2,string 1

RE: [PHP] How do you set up table columns for numerals?

I looked at your page. First off, you should add a primary key column that has no information in it. Just make this a number(4) called state_id. Then you will be able to specify that it's auto_increment. The problem you had is that you tried to make a varchar column auto_increment which makes

While you can use an array type in postgresql, in most cases I'd recommend against it. This is basically a repeating group, and in a relational database the proper way to handle this type of need would be to have a related table with a Many to 1 relationship back to the parent table. If you are

You have made a mistake in your database design. Every table should have a primary key that allows you to uniquely identify any single row in the table. You do not have a primary key, hence when you want to delete a single row from a series of duplicates, you can't do it. Unlike oracle, mysql
