[PHP] php and mysql
I have a db with events in it. i would like to pull the events out via php, but i would like them to be ordered by month number (1-12). When I do this (Select blah blah From blah Order By Month_Start ASC) it orders the months by number, but it starts with october (month 10) I am pretty sure it is doing this because I have no events until april (month 4). So how can i get it to order the months by their numbers starting with january (1) and going to december (12) even if I do not have events until april (4)? _ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] updating pages with php
I have a web page with a simple introductory paragraph on it. I was going to store the paragraph in a mySQL DB and create an administration page so people could easily edit the paragraph itself or change it all together. The problem I ran into is that mySQL will not allow certain punctuation inside of a record (no comma's). So now I am left trying to figure out how I can have the user update the paragraph without having it in a db. Can someone shoot me in the proper direction?

I have a DB that will take answers to an 82 question survey, but i have the survey divided into 4 html pages(forms) of 20 or so question per page. The people taking the survey are not required to fill out every question on the survey. i was wondering how i can insert the data into the db this way.

One more question, does anyone have any recommendations on how i can make it so the users can take page one of the survey and then come back and finish pages 2 (or something similar to this where they finish one of the pages and come back to finish the others later) later?

Re: [PHP] sessions
yes they are off. I did just recently discover this whole form thing, but i did not know about the session variables. I put the session registration code up in another post, if you would not mind looking at that and recommending changes. in the mean time I'll try and get up to speed on the new stuff. I really appreciate the help. If you upgraded to the new version and overwrote your old php.ini file then they are off. If you have access to the php.ini file you can open it and search for register_globals and see if it is set to On or Off. If you do not have access to the php.ini you can use : $reg_glob = get_cfg_var(register_globals); print $reg_glob; I think it will display a 1 for on and a 0 for off. If they are off you can either get used to the new, more secure way of doing things, or you can turn them back on in the php.ini file or in a .htaccess file in your directory. If you choose the .htaccess method you only need to add the following line to your .htaccess file: php_flag register_globals on If you decide to use the new, more secure method session vars will be in one of two new global arrays: $_SESSION --OR-- $HTTP_SESSION_VARS more info about that can be found here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php So, in your case, $valid_user would become $_SESSION['valid_user'] or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['valid_user']. With register globals set to off you will find that forms will no longer work the way you think. example: if you had a form with input name=var value=testing in it and you submitted it on the next page you would expect that $var would be testing but it is not! Now you must use either $_POST['var'] for form method=post and for query strings in URL's or method=get forms you would use $_GET['var'] If you have any more questions I'll help you out. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
