[PHP] PHP image rollovers question...
Hello, im brand new to the mailing list and fairly new to PHP. I apologize if this topic has come up before but...I'm having trouble embedding javascript (in particular - image rollovers) into my PHP script. When the page loads, I get errors for each of the javascript calls within my script. I'm using 'echo' to display my data. Any help?? Thanks so much! -Phil baltimore
[PHP] querying results already queryed once before
Dumb question: How do I query results from a MySQL that I've already queried once before in the same page? Here is my code: // querying the database for the first time. $query = select * from table where thingA = $searchA; $result = mysql_query ($query); // now I want to query my results I just made. ...any ideas? THANKS!
[PHP] Another question - not exactly what i was looking for
Yo, thanks for all your help. But it isn't exactly what im looking for. Let's say you had a database with the following four columns... -LastName -FirstName -Age -Weight ...and you wanted a page that would allow a user to search for one or more of these fields within the database. It would be easy if the user could only pick just one of the fields. But let's say that want to search only lastname and firstname, or maybe all four, or maybe just one. How could this be done? If I have code that looks like this... $query = select * from table where lastname='$lastname' and firstname='$firstname' and age='$age' and weight='$weight'; $result = mysql_query ($query); $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); ...the $num_results is ALWAYS zero unless I typed in all four fields. Any help? Thanks!

[PHP] Unable to Jump Row ?!?
I keep getting this damn error message from MySQL even though it displays the correct results. Here is the error... Warning: Unable to jump to row 1 on MySQL result index 2 in /blahblahblah/patient/display_search_results.php on line 39 Here is the code on line 39 $d = mysql_result($result, $c, id); the field id is an auto_increment column. $c is an exsisting row in the query, $result.

[PHP] Dual Pentium Pro 200 vs. Single Pentium II 450
I have two PCs, one is a Dual Pentium Pro 200Mhz and the other is a Pentium II 450Mhz (both have 64MB) I want to set one of them up using Linux Red Hat 7.2, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

[PHP] MySQL query question
Okay, so when I INSERT a row of information into a MySQL database, I don't want it to place it at the first empty row it findsI want it to put it after the very last exsisting row.

[PHP] What if 1,000 people access the database at one time?
So let's say Bill is accessing a MySQL table and is about to UPDATE some information on a particular row. Meanwhile, Al is doing a sort on that same table. Couldn't Al's sorting possibly screw up Bill's updating?? Or does MySQL have some built in functions that prevent this? Thanks! Phil

[PHP] Two easy HTML/CSS questions
I know I shouldn't be asking these questions on this mailing list but you guys are ALWAYS EXTREMELY helpful... 1) I want a a text link to change color when the mouse is hovering over top of it. How do I do this? Im sure it's some CSS thingy. 2) Is it possible to make a text field smaller when using forms. Let's say I'm using font size 1, I want the text field to be just as small as the rest of text. Thanks again

[PHP] question - display rows
When I want to display a table onto the screen I use this code
$query = SELECT * FROM database;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i = 0; $i $num_rows; $i++) {
$field1 = mysql_result($result, $i, field1);
$field2 = mysql_result($result, $i, field2);
echo $field1.$field2;
}
...but I heard that using mysql_result() is very ineffecient and that I
should be using mysql_fetch_array() instead.
So how could produce those same results using mysql_fetch_array()
instead??
THANKS!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

[PHP] variables within variables - question
Im having a VERY hard time trying to explain this
Here is a bit of my code...
for ($i = 0; $i $num_fields; $i++)
{
$field = mysql_field_name($result, $i);
$field2 = .$field;
$output = str_replace($field2, $field), $output);
}
The problem I'm having here is that the variable $field contains a
string (a name of one of my fields in my table). I need for the
variable $field to actually point to the another variable, not just
contain the string.
This little loop here is supposed to go through a RTF file and replace
all the $field2 it finds with $field.
Am I making sense?
THANKS!!!
[PHP] MySQL - UPDATE INSERT

[PHP] Array question - Finding the name
Let's say I have an array...
$my_array[] = array('bob' = $x, 'jim' = $y, 'mike' = $z);
Now I want to find the name of the second element in the array (I want
my result to be 'jim')
How do I do this? I think I might have to use the key() function but I
can't quite get it to wkr.
Thanks!
Re: [PHP] Array question - Finding the name
Thanks for your reply!
I tried using array_slice but I don't think that's exactly that I want
to do.
I want to find the name of the n-th value in an array. Not the value of
the n-th, but whatever name was given to it. Array_slice seems to just
pull part of an array and put it in another. and key() isn't exactly
what i want either..

you probably meant to define it as:
$my_array = array('bob' = $x, 'jim' = $y, 'mike' = $z);
use print_r($my_array) to see the difference between your definition and
mine.
Now I want to find the name of the second element in the array (I want
my result to be 'jim')

Depends on whether you want to find the name of the 'n-th' element, or
the
name of the element whose value is '$y'.
If the former you can use array_slice(), the latter key().

[PHP] phpmyadmin - moving data from one database to another

mysql QUIT
C:\ C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin reload
C:\ C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password my_password

this...
$mysql_link = mysql_connect('69.69.69.69', 'root', 'my_password')
or die (Cannot connect to The Database.);
$db = 'test';
mysql_select_db ($db, $mysql_link)
or die (Could net set database '$db' as the active database.);
Now, whenever my script runs a MySQL command, I get this error

input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=1000
input type=file name=userfile

[PHP] Starting sessions, registering variables, destroying sessions with global_variables off....
I just switched from a 4.06 server with global_variables ON to a 4.22 with global_variables OFF Can someone give me a quick run down of how to set/unset variables and register/destroy sessions with PHP 4.22 (global_variables OFF). I've been all through the php.net manual and still can't figure it out. I know that I have to use $_SESSION['foo'] instead of just $foo now, but for some reason I can't get session_start(); to properly start a session. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

[PHP] Inserting special characters into text fields
I need users to be able to insert special characters (ö and ä) into a text field. Unfortunately, English-speaking people do not have these keys on their keyboards. Currently, they are cutting and pasting these characters into the text boxes. I believe ASP can insert characters into text fields by pressing a form button .can PHP do something like this? Thanks!!
[PHP] mt_rand doesn't seem random enough
Maybe I'm wrong on this but mt_rand doesn't seem to be random enough.
I'm on a PHP 4.04 server and here's my code..
function make_seed() {
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 10);
}
mt_srand(make_seed());
$randval = mt_rand();
I pulled this directly from php.net and am using it in my script.
Am I doing anything wrong here? It's sorta random but I can't believe
it's totally random.
Your thoughts.?

[PHP] seeding using mt_srand();
Let's say you have a simple PHP file that just displays a random number. When the user hits the submit button, the page will reload and display another random number. How often do you need to call mt_srand(); ? Just once? Or each time the page gets reloaded?
RE: [PHP] seeding using mt_srand();
Yeah, I read that,I'm using PHP 4.04...so I do need to see the random generator. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 11:35 AM To: Phil Schwarzmann; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] seeding using mt_srand(); What Version :-) Check the manual, it has an interesting note: Note: Since PHP 4.2.0 it's no longer necessary to seed the random number generator before using it.

RE: [PHP] seeding using mt_srand();
So I need to call it each time the page gets reloaded I guess I can't just have the user load a file called generate.php which has the mt_srandand then keep calling random.php (which has mt_rand) without calling generate.php right? -Original Message- From: Jon Haworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 3:40 PM To: 'Phil Schwarzmann'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] seeding using mt_srand(); Hi Phil, How often do you need to call mt_srand(); ? As of version 4.2.0 you don't have to call it at all. If your PHP installation is an earlier version than that, call it once per script, before generating any random numbers, e.g: mt_srand($seed); $randomA = mt_rand(); $randomB = mt_rand(); $randomC = mt_rand(); Just once? Or each time the page gets reloaded? Uh... same thing, surely? Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] I'm in need of a PHP web host recommendation
I am quite unhappy with my current web host provider (www.infinitehost.com http://www.infinitehost.com/ ) and would like to hear some recommendations of some good companies that host PHP/MySQL and also JSP. I'm more than happy to shell out a few extra bucks to get some good service. Currently I pay $25/month for 100MB of space. Infinitehost is a just a mom-and-pop hosting company. They'll take up for 4-5 days to respond to one e-mail, my site is down frequently and they haven't lived up to their guarantees. I'm sick and tired of it. Thanks so much for your recommendations!!

When declaring a new object ( $obj=new Something; ), do they need to be then registered in a session ( session_register(obj); ) if you want to use them for a different script?
