Pull Info From One Database To Save In A Session To Push To A Different DB
I'm building a dynamic site that has 3 data bases. One DB contains all
of my store info ID#, Name, Address, Phone. Another DB contains member
info ID, Name, address, email,phone,etc...
The 3rd DB Tracks when a user logs in and logs out at a store. This DB
has the following columns Store ID, Member ID, log in time,log out
time, time in store.

The stores log in in the morning that starts a session-I need the
session to pull the store's info ID#, Name,etc... so when a user logs
in, in the store. The login page inserts the store ID, Store name, and
user ID into the 3rd DB.

There are a lot of stores how do I get the store variables to be
inserted into the DB?

Save Changes
I'm working on a membership database (MySQL 4.1) with about 350 members. The client wants every change made to be recorded so that there is a record of what was changed. So they want what row was changed, what was changed within that row, when it was changed, and who made the changes. Is there a way to so this automatically in MySQL or do I need to set up a new table and alter all existing queries?

Insert_id Save
The problem: I fill one table with something, then grab the insert_id from it.
Then i add that insert_id to another table to link the two together.
This is for making an account.
The problem: what if multiple users make an account at the same time and the queries get mixed up?

E.g. these are run before insert_id has a change to kick in
insert into table1 by user1
insert into table1 by user2
insert_id then gives me the insert_id from user2 while i was expecting the one from user1
Will this be a problem and if so how is it best solved?

Cannot Save Zero To BOOLEAN Field
A PHP script generates the following statement:

update cms_content set content_name = 'Blackmask', sub_cat_ID = 63, UDF1_1 = 'Blackmask', UDF1_2 = '', UDF1_3 = '', UDF1_4 = '', UDF1_5 = '', UDF2_1 = 'http://www.blackmask.com', UDF2_2 = '', UDF2_3 = '', UDF2_4 = '', UDF2_5 = '', Comment = ' ', Author = 'Phil White', Edit_date = '20080106', reject_reason = 5, reject_text = 'The content of your submission does not fit the category for which it was submitted.', Released = 0, Sticky = 0, rejected = 0, UDC1 ='Around 20,000 books for reading online.', UDC1_bitfield ='', UDC1_uid ='', UDC2 ='', UDC2_bitfield ='', UDC2_uid ='', UDC3 ='', UDC3_bitfield ='', UDC3_uid ='', UDC4 ='', UDC4_bitfield ='', UDC4_uid ='', UDC5 ='', UDC5_bitfield ='', UDC5_uid ='' where content_id = 2974

In the application, it is rejected with

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' reject_text = '', Released = 0, Sticky = 0, rejected = 0 , UDC1 ='Around 20,000' at line 1

The problem is with "rejected = 0". If I set "rejected = 1", the statement works fine.

The CREATE is
`rejected` tinyint(1) default NULL,

Now here is the strange part. Using the MySQL query browser, the statement is accepted without problems with a value of 0 or 1. (I copied it through the clipboard from an echo.)

The columns "Released" and "Sticky" were created in the same way and accept either value without problem. I am at my wits' end.

Insert From PHP Won't Save Strings With Spaces?
I have a form that sends/posts the collected entries to a processing form which performs some checks to see if data entry meets all requirements, and redisplays the data they entered by re-invoking the $fields.  The user can look it over to see if everything is correct before submitting the data to be inserted into the database.  Note:  When I echo back the results from the form, all fields are correct and are not cut off (explained below).

But the problem is, if the user enters in data like this:

PictName:  'endang seaturtle.jpg' (just a string, no images stored in DB)
Comments:  'Buoy is in for repairs'

The data that is saved in MySQL database for Location is just "endang" and for the Comments, "" (empty/blank).  Most of the fields are just one word length and insert perfectly fine.

Location VARCHAR(20) NULL DEFAULT NULL
Comments VARCHAR(200) NULL DEFAULT NULL

My Insert looks like this:

$query = "INSERT INTO tblNetDesc (SubSample, InitialDate, NetClassID, PictName, Comment) VALUES ('$subsample', '$the_date2', '$netclassid', '$picturename', '$comment')";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ($query.mysql_error());

Also if it helps, PictName is an input field and Comment is a textarea field on the form.

How come it won't save the white space?  Why isn't the comment field saving?

Mysql Save To A Temp File
In the later part of June a new Linux Mysql server was installed.
While mysqld was still running,the data folder was moved to a different
volume and a soft link to the new location was put in it's place.I
know, bad idea,but everything seemed to work fine, so I didn't think
anything of it.Today, the server had to be rebooted for the first
time since, and now all data since the folder move is gone. It's as if
mysqld was just using ram to cache everything, and not writing out
changes to disk.Is this true, that all data was only written to
memory and not disk, or is it possible that the data was written out to
a temporary location somewhere that I might be able to recover some of
this data from?

Write/Move/Save Pdf To MySQL Table?
Is upload the only way to pass a file to a table?

I have a contract.pdf which is generated via php (FPDF) and saved in a temporary file. I need that file then moved /written to the appropriate customer table in our database (MySQL ) so that the temporary file may then be overwritten by the next Customer/Order.

While I am able to upload the file via <input type="file" name="uploadpdf> and related uploader.php, asking our web-users to “browse” for the file does not suit our needs, and of course adding a default value

<input type="file" name="uploadpdf" value="http://localhost/crm/modules/Orders/contract.pdf"> doesn’t work either.

As the file is always the same (modules/Orders/contract.pdf) how may I manage that move automatically, (say with a ‘Confirm Order’ button) to the database?

How To Save Accounts Based On Variable Amounts Of Time
I'm currently building a website where users can signup for various accounts.
An account may last 30 days, 12 months or 24 months.
If a user's account is about to expire, an email notification is send, via a CRON Job.

I want to save the different account types in the database, but I'm not sure how to save the duration of an account. If it was all months, I could simply save ཈' or པ' as an INT, but it also has an account for 30 days, which is more flexible.

Edit:

It would also be nice if I could ORDER BY duration..

Storing Pointers/Links To Files
I have a form that allows users to enter to input data via a text box. It also has the ability to take any of the word(s) entered and create a hyperlink to a file if needed. Everything works great except when this data is written to the database the backslash for the subdirectorys get messed up.

For example, if the directory a file is located in is:
c:mydirectorymyfile

But when written to the database it comes out like this:
c:mydirectory|myfile

How can I get the to insert instead of the | for the pointer?

Links Database Structure
I'm creating a 'Favourite Links' function on our Intranet, using PHP/MySQL. I'd really like some advice on the most efficient way of setting this up.
Users login to the site and are either identified by a cookie or by a session. Their favourite links (ID, Title, URL, Description) will be displayed on their personalised homepage.
We have about 230 users. I could set up a a table to hold the links for each user but that seems excessive. I could create the one table of links but with a field that records the owner/users ID but perhaps that would be a very memory-hungry query once the table gets really large.

2. Is there any way for example to store a set of pictures in a folder and using a random function to display it in an input form to make users enter whatever they read on the picture so that i can use that as a simple way to discourage people from running scripts on my form

Displaying Picture From A Mysql Table
I have a database named dmtp with tables cities and markers. I need to display an image stored as mediumblob in markers, in dmtp. now I am using the syntax like this -

$result = mysql_query("SELECT cities.cityname, cities.citybuslink,markers.picture, markers.information FROM cities, markers where markerid = 1 AND markers.cityid = cities.cityid

");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" .$row['picture']. "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['information'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>"; }

However, the part where the picture should be displayed shows all garbage values, any idea on how to display the actual image stored inside the database ??

Where Are The Database Files

i am creating a new site and i want the banner to be changing dynamically. I was thinking that i can write a script that reads the image files from the folders and picks up one randomly.

Importing .frm Files Into A New Database?
I have been having a problem accessing my MySQL 5.0 on WinXP with the following error: "Could not start the MySQL service on Local Computer. Error:1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."

I wasn't able to resolve it so I made a copy of the data folder, sub-folder where the tables I had created earlier resided.

I installed MySQL 5.0 on another computer. I then copied the .frm files and the ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 plus the ibdata1 files into the newly created data folder.

I then started Navicat but it didn't see the new databases from the localhost connection. I even tried copying the .frm files directly into the default 'MySQL' db that is created when you install the program. Still nothing.

I know I have probably really screwed up but I had previously created around 30 very detailed tables and I would hate to have to start over.

Image Files On A Database
I'd like to know if it is possible to save an object (such as an image) embedded in a field of a table. I want to build a table where i can save information about products and an image (photo) for each product.

60 Gb Of Mp4 Files In MySQL Database
