PHP :: Array From Database Entries

Extracting Database Entries
I have a non-profit's web site that wishes to allow their members to
fill out information regarding summer camp information (name, contact
info, mailing info, physician's name, etc) online and submit it. I can
handle taking the info with PHP and putting it into a mySQL database easily.

But what has me stuck is that they want the ability to print out hard
copies of selected submissions (their choice) if they need to.

Would I have to display all the database entries in a form on a new page
with a select box next to each entry and have them pick that way, then
loop through and print out the selected ones or is there a better, more
direct (read: easier) way to accomplish this?

Does this sound like something for which there may be a pre-written PHP
script that can be altered?

(PDO) Database Entries Are Not Possible, Even Without Errorfeedback!
I am trying to insert with PDO-Sqlite rows through a form. I can do
whatever I want, I don't find the sollution where I made the error.
Perhaps somebody of you could help me?!

However, the database is created with sqlite, and the entries should be
done with PDO_SQLITE. However, no entries are done anyways and I am one
step going nuts, specially because I don't receive no warning or
errormessage on the screen.

Code:

<?php
require_once('HTML/Form.php');
require_once('I18N/UnicodeString.php');
require_once('HTML/Table.php');

class Formular
{
private $ServerVar = array("Auswahl","Betreff","Eingabe");

function __construct()
{

$this->ServerVar["Auswahl"] = $_GET['Auswahl'];
$this->ServerVar["Betreff"] = $_GET['Feld'];
$this->ServerVar["Eingabe"] = $_GET['Eingabe'];
$this->MeinFormular();

//$this->sqdb();
if(($this->ServerVar["Betreff"] === null) or
($this->ServerVar["Eingabe"] === null))
{
$this->MeineDB();
$this->TextFeld();
}
elseif (($this->ServerVar["Betreff"] === "") or
($this->ServerVar["Eingabe"] === ""))
{
$this->MeineDB();
$this->TextFeld();
}

else
{
$Auswahl = $this->ServerVar["Auswahl"];
$Betreff = $this->ServerVar["Betreff"];
$Eingabe = $this->ServerVar["Eingabe"];
$this->MeineDB2($Auswahl,$Betreff,$Eingabe);
$this->TextFeld();
}

Edit The Entries In The Database
I have a script that allows you to edit the entries in the database. All is working fine except when you pull up an entry for editing the subject field only prints out the first word of the subject??? I know the entire subject line is in the database, but only this part of the script won't print it out. All the other fields work fine. Code:

Limit Entries In Database?
Im using a guest book script that uses a Mysql database. Id like to limit the number of entries it will save in that database to say, 100. I emailed the fella who wrote the script and he replied with:

Just make a simple if the id is bigger than 100 or how many entries you want ... then just redirect to the index page. I dont know a whole lot about PHP although Im learning and this is what Im trying which isnt working.

if ($id > 100){
echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=1; url=http://www.mysite.com/blah>";
}

Preventing Multiple Database Entries.
I am trying to make my form processor detect if an item name submitted to the database already exists I would like to display a message saying the item is already in the db.

I tried something like this

if ($Item_Name == "$row["Item_Name"]") {

print "That item is already in the database";

}

Now I know this is wrong but if someone could point me in the right direction it....

Don't Display Duplicate Database Entries?
I have a restaurants database that has a lot of restaurants listed with the same name in the same city with only the category changed. This is the code that I have that displays the list of restaurants. Can someone tell me what to add to it so that it will only display one of each restaurant of a certain name? PHP Code:

Fastest Way To Print All Database Entries?
Say I have a database with 1000 entries. What's the fastest, dirtiest way to do that.. Like this? PHP Code:

Output Database Entries In A Table
I'm trying to display the entries in a table of two columns, one entry per table cell - in other words, two entries per row, number of rows based on number of entries in the database. But it still doesn't seem to work. It displays one entry per row... I don't know where the problem is. Here's my code:

How Do I Display All Database Entries Between Two Dates
I have two dates in a form " startdate" and enddate"

when i display the results i would like to show all results between, and including the two dates. how do i do this... this is my current query:

My Variables:

$userid = $_GET['idr'];
$fromdate = $_GET['fromdate'];
$todate = $_GET['todate'];

The query:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER BY time");

Add Entries To Array
What I want to achieve:
A select list in a form should grow with every data entry.
Example:

I have a list of towns to choose from for a single entry.
If there is a town, not in the list, I would like to have the option to enter one in a text field.

Next time I approch the input form, the newly entered town shows up in the select list.

What do I have to do, to expand the select list (resp. the table behind)?

Using Checkboxes To Update Multiple Database Entries
I have a query that shows a list of options that a user can toggle on
or off using a checkbox.

query...
form...
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))...
<input name="menu_show_attribute[]" type="checkbox"
class="checkbox"');
if ($row['menu_show_attribute'] == 1) {
echo (' value="'.$row[menu_id].'" checked />
} else {
echo (' value="'.$row[menu_id].'" />');
}

The list is generated from boolean values in a DB. This populates my
form with checkboxes, some are checked and others are not. I'm using
an if statement to sort it (checked). This works fine.

The problem is when the user un-checks a checkbox, the value does not
get passed and the DB does not update - set/change it to 0. The only
values that get passed are the checkboxes that are checked. Below is
the query / code after the submit button has been pressed. Are radio
buttons the answer? Any help / suggestions would be very much
appreciated.

//process form
for ($i = 0; $i < count($menu_show_attribute); $i++) {

if (isset($menu_id) == 'checked') {
$menu_show_attribute = 1;
} elseif ($menu_show_attribute != 'checked') {
$menu_show_attribute = 0;
}

$query = 'UPDATE menu SET menu_show_attribute = "'.
$menu_show_attribute.'" WHERE menu_id = "'.
$menu_show_attribute[$i].'"'
echo("<br>");
echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error());
}

PHP Array Entries Max Limit
I would like to know how many entries does PHP associative array can handle.

Duplicated Entries In Array
I have an array. I need to check if key (key => value) is being duplicated... I've already checked all values not to be duplicated and found out they are..

I am trying to make script which would print me which key is being duplicated.

Deleting Duplicate Entries From MySQL Database Table
The topic is related to MySQL database.

Suppose a table "address" contains the following records

-------------------------------------------------------
| name | address | phone |

| mr x | 8th lane | 124364 |
| mr x | 6th lane | 435783 |
| mrs x | 6th lane | 435783 |

Deleting Blank Entries From Array?
The resulting arrays that i get from my select statements always seem to have some blank entries, in addition to the correct ones. It is rather odd, is there any way i can scan through it and delete these blank entries? Here is the print_r of the arrays. PHP Code:

Sort Results By Date/time, Limit 5 Database Entries Of Today &/or Upcoming Days
I'm designing a website for my fraternity and in the database I have entries which contain past events, todays events, and upcoming events. My problem is that I can not figure out how to sort the query results to display:

1) only past events based on the CURRENT DATE
2) only the events which fall on the CURRENT DATE or after, limiting the results to 5 entries
3) all events that fall on CURRENT DATE or afterwards

Example:
Today is September 15, 2007

Problem 1) Displaying all events that happened before September 15, 2007
Problem 2) Displaying only 5 results that fall on September 15, 2007 or after
Problem 3) Displaying all events that are happening on or after September 15, 2007

And obviously I would like the CURRENT DATE to change depending on what date it is, currently.

Ok so now I've been very redundant in my explanation of my problem here is the code and a link to what that particular page looks like. Code:

Building An Array From A Database
Just a quick questions. I'm retrieving two fields from a database one being "id" and the other "name". I am currently using this to load the results

$i=0;
while($row = $db->fetchArray($results)) {
nameArray[$i] = $row;
$i++;

Which fetches the results by Association and gives me these results:

Array (
[0] => Array ( [id] => id1 [name] => FirstName )
[1] => Array ( [id] => id2 [name] => SecondName )
)

is there some way to modify the code so I get this result:

Array (
[id1] => FirstName
[id2] => SecondName
)

It seeem like it should be possible but I just can't seem to work it out.

Inserting An Array Into Database
If I have the following problem.

$adults=$_POST['adults'];//lets say its 2
$children=$_POST['children'];//lets say its 3
$rooms =array('101','102');

foreach($rooms as $roomnumber){
$insertSQL = "INSERT INTO bookings (roomNumber, adults, children) VALUES ( '$roomnumber', '$adults', '$children')";
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL) or die(mysql_error());
}
This works BUT..each room gets (say) 2 adults and 3 children whereas I want the numbers spread over each room so that room 101 gets maybe 2 people and room 102 gets 3 people or vice versa and not double -up on the number of overall people. In a real life situation the user would choose the number of rooms and adults etc so the solution would need to allow for this. Can anyone see a way of doing this?

Pulling Database Value In To Array
How do I pull information from one of the fields in my database and put this into an array. The information in the field is stored as follows with a comma between each number 1342,1873

I need to get these numbers in to the array, then after this I can pass each value and check this against another table in my database. I tried $arr=array($row['numbers']); and of course it did not work. I need it so when pulled from the database it formats like below

$arr=array("1342","1873");

foreach ($arr as $value)
{
// rest of code //
}

Create Array From 2 Database Fields
I want to create an array of product prices, with the product id as the index and the product price as the value, so i can place the prices for particular products wherever i want on my page.

Both product id and price are taken from the Products table
SELECT prod_id, prod_price FROM Products

Due to the client wanting an unusual layout, I cant just loop a table with the data, I need to be able to print $Price[2]; (for product id 2) wherever I like, for example.

Fastest Way To Do Database / Array Search
I am trying to write a script that allows users to search through a
database of names. But rather than give a search string and then return
all those that match, I would like it to search each time the user
types a new letter in the text box.

That's badly explained - this example might help!

The user types "r" and I displays all the names with r in them. The
user continues and types "i" so the textbox shows "ri" and displayed
are all the results with "ri" in them. I as doing currently this by
re-querying the SQL database where the names are hosted but it takes
too long to query, return and refresh the page.

What would be a better way of storing this database info to allow a
faster search? Maybe load it into a PHP array first (stored in another
file) and search within that? (Can you do 'clever' searches in PHP?) Or
into a javascript array? The list could be upwards of 1000 names.

The databse shouldn't change that often so I could have a script that
updates the array every 24 hours or every time a new name is added.

To Insert Array Value In Database---important

$array[$i]= preg_replace('/d*=/', " ",$array[$i]);
$array[$i]= urldecode ($array[$i]);
$i++;
}

Inserting Data From A Sql Database Into An Array
I am currently working on a project where I need to put information from a sql statement into an array. Currently I can get one row into the array, but the rest aren't showing. I have checked, and all of the information is getting to the array, but I can only get one row to show up.

Checking If A Value Is Not In An Array And Deleting Record From Database
I have been trying to figure this one out and have come up against a brick wall although I know it should be relatively simple. I have a form that passes an array to a php script from a multiple select box that is created dynamically. If a user deselects an item then I want to delete the record from the database but am having a big problem with it. The table in the dbase is quite simple with just three fields:

id
classid
formid

Basically, the form send through a classid and a formid value and I want to delete any records that have a classid that are not in the form array and have a formid which is passed as a hidden value. I suppose really what I want is to know how to see if a classid is not in the array that is passed.

Deleting Database Rows From An Array Of Variables
I have a form with a list of checkboxes, which are each filled with a date in the format 27012007, for example. The name of each of the checkboxes is the same as the date.

Putting An Array In A Mysql Database Table Field
I want to insert an array into my database but i've got a problem with it.

When i check my dbase with phpmyadmin the field that should contain my array has the word array in it so i assume the array is in the dbase. But when i retrieve the data from my dbase and check my array with print_r i get the following error: Warning: Argument to array_values() should be an array in.

Duplicate SQL Entries
I have a buddy system on my site and I have found that duplicate buddies can be added into the database. Here how I have this set up:

user 1 want to add user 2 as a buddy.
user 1 goes to user 2's page and clicks "add as buddy"
A PM goes to user 2 and asks him if he accepts or declines
if user 2 clicks accept a php script is run

Problem:
This script need to detect if that buddy already exists, if so do nothing or overwrite the original. Right now it just adds the entry again. I am using a very simple table:

UID BID
---------
1 | 2

This would mean user id 1 has a buddy with a buddy id 2

Here is the non-functional code:

$query = mysql_query("UPDATE buddies SET uid='$uid', bid='$bid' WHERE uid='$uid' && bid='$bid'");
print "Buddy Has been overwritten";
//would prefer it not do anything at all if entry exists
if ($query == 0)
{
// No records updated, so add it
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO buddies (uid, bid) VALUES ('$uid', '$bid')");
print "Buddy Added";}
