Subject: [PHP] Want to exclude first 10 records from table


I am having forum table. First 10 records are treated as Current postings 
and rest are treated as Archive.

I know how to take first 10

select * from forum order by postdate desc LIMIT 10

But I do not know how to take postings excluding above 10. I do not want to 
make use of loop rather I want to do this in one single query as I need to 
pass this to some further include files.

Thanks in advance
Manisha

My logging application is feeding a MySQL database with data records

RE: [PHP] Odd request

2002-10-12 Thread Smith, Benjamin

No, there isn't, and no, there probably shouldn't be, since the height in pixels that 
the page will render in is dependent on client-side attributes like font size, 
resolution, browser type, etc.

This might be an appropriate function in javascript, but not php.



Any way in php to determine at what height html content will render???  If
not, should there be?

second new string only containing content after head up to and including

This seems absolutely impossible. Can you verify that you are using the 
*exact* same URL with each browser? I would recommend copy/pasting the 
URL from each into a text document or something to be sure every slash, 
etc., is identical.

This will also ensure that you are accessing these scripts via the 
http:// scheme rather than the file:// scheme.

I ask as when I do I get the following error message ...

Warning: ftp_fput() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given

If I replace $filetype with the text FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY it works fine.

RE: [PHP] syntax question

2002-09-29 Thread Smith, Benjamin

Check out this tutorial on the MySQL website:

http://www.mysql.com/articles/mysql_intro.html

It contains links to the basics of SQL and its syntax, as well as giving you a good 
grounding in MySQL specifically.

As others have stated, most of the functionality you really need should be built into 
the SQL query. It's redundant to request excessive results from the database server, 
only to filter them out with custom php routines.

I think he maybe meant testing for null values in SQL.

If this is true, there is the null keyword: is null and is not null.

select * from table_name where column_name is not null

This selects all rows from a table where the data in column column_name 
is not null. Be careful with this, as it actually tests for null and not 
an empty string, for example. If you want to test whether a value is 
null once you have assigned it to a PHP variable, you can use one of 
Justin's suggestions.

In addition, PHP has null as well.

Happy hacking.

Hi folks,

I've seen messages on here in the past about Store Locator tools,
where someone enters a postcode and the nearest store to that postcode
is found.

I'm wondering if anyone has any information about how to get the 
proximity data for postcodes in Australia? Or is it safe to assume
that if a postcode is, say, 3107, that 3120 or 3110 (for example) 
are nearby as well as 3108 (so, perhaps, 10 above and 10 below could
be safely assumed to be nearby?)

I saw some mention of this a few months ago here from some of the
other Aussies on the list, but I've long since lost the archived
messages.

Could someone please help me a little with this? :)

Thanks

Sir, 
 
Request for Urgent Business Relationship. 
 
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by 
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. We
shall 
be counting on your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction
of 
great magnitude  involving a pending business transaction requiring 
maximum confidence. 
 
We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who

are interested  in importation of goods into our country with 
funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this 
business we solicit  your assistance to enable us RECIEVE the 
said trapped funds ABROAD. 
 
The source of this fund is as follows : During the regime of our late 
head of state, Gen.  Sani Abacha, the government officials set up 
companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly 
over-invoiced in various  Ministries. The NEW CIVILIAN Government 
set up a Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) and we have identified a lot of 
inflated contract  funds which are presently floating in the Central 
Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). However, due to our position as civil servants 
and members of this  panel, we cannot acquire this money in our 
names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my 
colleagues of the panel  to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose 
ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States 
Dollars) WILL  BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. 
Hence we are writing you this letter.  
We have agreed to share the money thus: 
70% for us (the officials) 
20% for the FOREIGN PARTNER (you) 
10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. 
 
It is from this 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. 
Please note that this  transaction is 100% safe and we hope that the
funds arrive your 
account in latest ten (10)  banking days from  the date of reciept of
the following 
information  by email: A suitable name and bank account into which the
funds can 
be paid. 
 
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job 
description respectively. 
This way we will use your company's name to 
apply for payments and re-award the contract in your company name. 
 
We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your 
confidentiality in this  transaction. 
 
For security reasons, please respond only to the above email address or
fax number 234 
1 7747907. I will bring you  into the complete picture of this pending
project when I have 
heard from you. 
 
Yours Faithfully, 
Dr.Adewale.Johnson.
