But a quick glance at your SQL shows that your second query returns all writings by all authors because you don't include anything to narrow it down to one author: WHERE Writings.ID = Writings.ID AND Author.Autholr_Name = Writings.Writings_Author AND Author.ID = Author.ID First of all: Writings.ID = Writings.ID and Author.ID = Author.ID are nonsense. Every query will match those crieria. In other words, you'd probably best take an hour or so to RTF 'Intro to SQL M.' Here's another hint: You have no PHP variable in your SQL query. That means you execute the same exact query every time you run it. So you will get the same exact results every time. So your solution is this: Include a PHP variable in your SQL query to specify which author you want to select. You probably want something like this: WHERE Author.Author_Name = Writings.Author_Name AND Author.ID = '$MySelectedAuthorID' (but remember to define $MySelectedAuthorId before running it :) Good luck and post again with your progress.

this:
1. Scan to the end of the file.
2. Find the closing tag.
3. Insert a new entry in before the closing tag.
I've tried:
1. Creating new files and renaming them to be the original.
2. Writing the file to a dummy file and insert my lines part way through
then finish the last tag.
My problem is I'm looking for a /endtag and it comes up as endtag. Is
there anyway to force PHP to read the .xml file as a text file so it wont
strip off the xml tag information?

Re: [PHP] php newbie question with xml files
I have an xml document storing some data I need. What I want to do is this: 1. Scan to the end of the file. 2. Find the closing tag. 3. Insert a new entry in before the closing tag. There are specific classes and functions in the PHP core that can help you do just this. I've tried: 1. Creating new files and renaming them to be the original. 2. Writing the file to a dummy file and insert my lines part way through then finish the last tag. I don't think this is the right approach to take. Maybe using the DOM and/or the XML Parser built-in to php would help you. My problem is I'm looking for a /endtag and it comes up as endtag. Is there anyway to force PHP to read the .xml file as a text file so it wont strip off the xml tag information? I've used fopen with fgets and fwrite, and file with fwrite Again, this isn't the approach to take. There are built-in functions for this sort of thing, as well as classes on PEAR that will help you. Try google! Read through all of this and decide which approach you want to take before you start anything... If you use Windows or compile PHP as an Apache module in Linux, you're all set with the XML Parser. If not, you'll need to get the library according to the directions in the manual. http://www.php.net/xml Read everything in that thoroughly, and understand it before you continue with this approach. Copy and play with the examples to see how it all works. If you'd rather handle things in an environment designed to create and manipulate XML dynamically, rather than just read and insert raw strings, keep reading. You can get the DOM XML working easily in Windows, and even easier in a GNOME environment on a linux box. The manual has excellent instructions. http://www.php.net/domxml This extension is Object-Oriented (OO), and if you don't know what that is, you better read up on it before you try this out. If you do, and have an OK understanding of how OO works in PHP, then read on! If not, read the article http://www.php.net/oop Now, understand that DOM XML is very particular about the syntax and such in an XML file. The file MUST start with the XML declaration (without quotes) ?xml version=1.0 in order for DOM to try and use it. Use the functions to read right through it all. You'll find that this is probably exactly what you need! I'd use DOM XML personally. I included the other in case you didn't want to have to install everything.

Steps: 1. Install PHP. Already installed? 2. make a file accessible via browser and call it test.php 3. put this into it: ? echo Hello Worldbr; phpinfo(); ? 4. Now, access that file. If you see Hello World outputted followed by a long blue-gray table with lots of server data - means everything worked and you could go to the sites like PHP Beginner (www.phpbeginner.com) or many others to read some tutorials and still code to keep testing.

Okay, you brought it up ! ;-) EMACS. If you use Unix, then this is your supersuite. This is your Microsoft Office for plaintext editors. Pros: Easier to learn than vi Many man many many many features Supercustomizeable Integrates tightly with Unix operating system Cons: A little on the bloatware side vi is more widely available (at least it was back in the early 80s when a few MB of disk space was a big deal) vi is much more slim Knowing vi is useful, but I find I'm much more productive in emacs. And when I want to use an Aqua-compatible editor, I use BBEdit lite because I'm poor and it's pretty good (a tiny bit buggy on OS X). There's actually an emacs for OS X that I haven't gotten around to trying yet, maybe I'll give the compile a shot tonight.

Re: [PHP] Php Newbie
Hi, i created a helloworld php file and put it in my inetpub/wwwroot/php folder and then tried to display it in the browser but all i saw was my html code. Can someone help please?! You'll need to configure IIS to parse your PHP files. Use the instruction below. If you wonder which one to use isapi or CGI I'd say for home developement it doesn't matter. CGI is said to be more stable but I had no problem with the isapi module with IIS. But anyway give it a thought to get Apache. To test your installation just use your helloworld or create a file with ?php phpinfo(); ? in it. hope it helps Johannes IIS 4.0+ (isapi): 1. Copy the php.ini-dist to your systemroot (the directory where you installed windows), rename it to php.ini, and edit it to fit your needs 2. Start the Microsoft Management Console or the Internet Services Manager, located in your Control Panel 3. Click on your webserver, and select properties 4. If you don't want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can (and should) skip this step. Under ISAPI Filters, add a new ISAPI filter. Use PHP as the filter name, and supply a path to the php4isapi.dll 5. Under Home Directory, click on the Configuration button. Add a new entry to the Application Mappings. Use the path the php4isapi.dll as the Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave Method exclusions, blank, and check the Script engine checkbox 6. Stop IIS completely 7. Start IIS again IIS 4.0+ (CGI) 1. Copy the php.ini-dist to your systemroot (the directory where you installed windows), rename it to php.ini, and edit it to fit your needs 2. Start the Microsoft Management Console (may appear as 'Internet Services Manager', either in your Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack branch or the Control Panel-Administrative Tools under Windows 2000). 3. Right click on your Web server node (will most probably appear as 'Default Web Server'), and select 'Properties'. 4. Under 'Home Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button.

Obviously, James has answered your question, but I'm curious as to why
you aren't using a database for this particular task?
Another suggestion, for the actual book data file(s) is to just
include the 'cosmetic' information in with the actual $book_data when
you write it to disk.
IOW, instead of doing this:
$book_data = explode("\n", $book_data_in);
echo "ASIN:";
echo "$book_data[0]";
echo "br";
echo "Title:";
echo "$book_data[1]";
echo "br";
echo "Description:";
echo "$book_data[2]";
echo "p/p";
Why didn't you just write that information to the file from the very
beginning?
If you were to do that, all you'd need to do is use include() instead
of 'module 2, the reads'
It just seems like that would be a lot less painful.

RE: [PHP] PHP newbie question
http://www.php.net/manual/language.expressions.php snip One last thing worth mentioning is the truth value of expressions. In many events, mainly in conditional execution and loops, you're not interested in the specific value of the expression, but only care about whether it means TRUE or FALSE (PHP doesn't have a dedicated boolean type). The truth value of expressions in PHP is calculated in a similar way to perl. Any numeric non-zero numeric value is TRUE, zero is FALSE. Be sure to note that negative values are non-zero and are thus considered TRUE! The empty string and the string "0" are FALSE; all other strings are TRUE. With non-scalar values (arrays and objects) - if the value contains no elements it's considered FALSE, otherwise it's considered TRUE. /snip Since variables doesn't need to be declared it's regarded as set when used in an expression... hence $a is evaluated to "", or 0 if compared to numbers, false if compared to boolean. -Jrg -Original Message- From: Neil Zanella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10. januar 2001 19:33 To: Toby Butzon Cc: PHP General Mailing List Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP newbie question On Wed, 10 Jan 2001, Toby Butzon wrote: : ?php if (! $a) print "Hello, World!"; // script 2 ? $a evaluates to false, the ! reverses it, and it prints "Hello, World!" What is bothering me is the following: if variables that are not assigned a value were to evaluate to false then since false is the same as the number 1 the following PHP script should print the number 1 but instead prints nothing: ?php if (! $a) print $a; ? How is this behavior justified? I could not find anything on this in the PHP manual.

The following three seem to be the same in PHP3: 1) false 2) "" 3) 0 zero and an empty string were understood to be false. Still they are different. I guess that "" is automatically cast to 0 or to false wherever an integer is required. Where can I find the exact casting rules in PHP3/4 ? http://www.php.net/manual/language.types.type-juggling.php#language.types.ty pecasting Thanks, Neil -- 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]
