[PHP] MySQL function in a Table's Column
I'm not really sure what I should be looking for in the MySQL manual. I basically want to make a column that will do math to other columns, like in a spreadsheet program. Is it possible? And if so, what do I look for? And if you can give me an example that would be great. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Shorten String or encode/decode a string
I want to shorten a string that I'll be throwing through the url. It's not so much that it's too long, but it's ugly. What it is, is my query string that I need to pass through to different pages, i.e. viewing multiple pages. Anyway, I was looking at encode and decode features but not really sure that they could shorten it down significantly. Now I understand that I won't be able to use it, but I tried the crypt() function and liked how small it made it. The string information doesn't need to be secure in anyway, just smaller (and look like nothing understandable would be good also). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] FORM input type=image ... with a posting value
I have a page with multiple form submit buttons that carry different values
to do different functions and such.
form name="bidfile" method=post action="?=$ME?"
input type=submit name="mode" value="Edit Contacts"
input type=submit name="mode" value="Add Products"
input type=text name="something" value="?=$something?"
...
/form
?
switch (nvl($mode)) {
case "Edit Contacts" :
save_changes($HTTP_POST_VARS);
add_contact_info($bid_id);
break;
case "Add Products" :
save_changes($HTTP_POST_VARS);
add_bid_items($bid_id);
break;
...
}
?
Which works great!! However, I grow tiresome of the typical button "look",
and in my attempt to use an image instead:
input type=image name="mode" value="Edit Contacts" src="contacts.png"
failed. Is there a way to do this? I have changed my stylesheet to have
the form inputs and whatnot to view smaller which I like. But not small
enough in some instances, forcing me to look to other ways, such as an
image. So as I asked before, is there a way to do this or any other
suggestions?

[PHP] MySQL DISTINCT query
I need to retrive all column information from a DISTINCT query. But so far, I only can get one column to show by using this: SELECT DISTINCT my_column FROM my_table; which then gives me a list of my_column information and is correct, but I need all information from all columns. Querying this: SELECT DISTINCT my_column, my_column2, my_column3, my_column4 FROM my_table; was my guess at it, but doesn't work how I'd like. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] firewalls MySQL sessions
I'm having trouble establishing MySQL sessions when the client is running from behind a remote firewall. (I.e., the MySQL server has a static internet IP, but the remote client which is accessing, or better said, attempting to access the MySQL database via PHP in their browser can't seem to establish a MySQL session.) Does anybody have any experience with this phenomenon? Thanks.

From: "Jared Howard" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm make an object or an array from the results of a query to my MySQL
database. The value returned is entered in options and any repeated
values are unwanted. Is there a way to remove them easily?
eg.
select
? $qid = mysql_query("SELECT this FROM that WHERE here");
while ($r = mysql_fetch_object($qid)) { ?
option?=$r-this?/option
? } ?
/select
I was thinking of creating an array before the while, then in the while
add
each "$r-this" if "(! in_array($arr))". Then I would have to do another
while with the option included. But I'm not really sure how to add
elements to existing arrays. And that might not even be the best way.
Any
iteas?
IMHO: always make the database manipulate the data for you, if it can. It's
usually much faster, and requires less code.
In this case just do:
SELECT DISTINCT this FROM that WHERE here
and you won't get any duplicates. Great huh? :)
Refer to the MySQL manual at http://www.mysql.com/docs/ for more details.

[PHP] Retrieve HTML page
I've been looking through the manual but I keep on missing the function or it doesn't exist. I need to know if there is a way to get a specified HTML page (as if you were to go to the page by typing in the url in your browser) and either turn it into a string or array or something that I would be able to cut up and use the information that I need. This way PHP does the work instead of going to the page yourself. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] rewriting the browser's url
I need to know how to be able to eliminate the querysting portion of the URL that is displayed on the users browser. I don't want it possible to click refresh and reenter in the same querystring that was used previously (eg. php runs a mysql query of INSERT based on the querystring which only should be run once no matter how many times they click refresh). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
