PHP :: Best Way To Do A Mysql Lookup Table

Need To Speed Up A Static Mysql Lookup Table
I am using GeoIP, which is a huge country / ip table that lets you look up users countries of origin.

Is there anything I can do to optimize the lookup speed. From what I know of binary searches, this should be able to be done incredibly fast if mysql knows the table is sorted, isn't going to change, and searches like a tree.

Anyone have any ideas?

Passing Username/with Mysql Lookup
I want to pass the username entered at login and at the sametime have a lookup where the team name is found, via username, and both are passed to the user_mainpage.

Finding Lookup Fields In MySQL
I've got a lookup table for a lookup table and can't work out the SQL to
do a search. Can anyone help?

As an example, consider the following:

Table 1 - books:
fields: book_id, price, title, author
data:
1, 2.99, 'Life', 'A. Slug'
2, 4.99, 'The Universe', 'A. Planet'

Table 2 - book_fields:
fields: field_id, field_name
data:
1, 'cover_colour'
2, 'cover_type'

Table 3 - book_field_lookup:
data: book_id, field_id, field_value
1, 1, 'blue'
1, 2, 'hardback'
2, 1, 'blue'
2, 2, 'softback'

How do I do all hardback books that are blue? I'm sure that the answer
is simple, but have a block today :(

Grab Content From HTML Table And Place Into MySQL Table?

Mysql Fetch_field Gets Table Alias, Not Real Table Name
After a SQL 'select .... from tablename alias'
the mysql_fetch_field function returns a value $result=>table which
will contain the alias, not the actual table name.
Is there a way to get the actual table name ?

I am running mysql 4.1 and php 4.4

Using PHP To Sort Data In MySQL Table 1 By Values In Table 2
I have a MySQL database with 2 tables in it. products and prices.. Products has a field in it called 'prodno'. Prices has a field in it called 'prodid'.

There is one of each item in products and each product has it's own unique 'prodno'

There are multiple instances of each product's pricing in prices.. One for each price.. So if a product had multiple prices depending on quantity it would have an entry for each price.. Example:

id = 1
prodid = 7001
qty = 300
price = 12.5

id = 2
prodid = 7001
qty = 400
price = 15.5

I was wondering if I could query the database getting info from the products table but sort it according to the prices in the prices table.

Kinda like doing a "SELECT * FROM products" ordering it by the lowest price value from each item..

This is all very confusing to me, and I'm the one writing it. Let's try one last time..

Query the database selecting * from products (I plan on using all the info in products) and ordering them by the lowest price for each item in the prices table. I've tried sorting the results of just a basic SELECT * FROM products using Javascript and PHP but with pagination in the results it makes it a bit hard.

Reverse DNS Lookup ?
I want to include a reverse DNS lookup (find host/domain for a given IP) in
my pagetracker scripts.

Is there anything prefab in the PHP world I am overlooking I could put to
use ? I know some sites that offer en Reverse Lookup function but I want a
non-interactive method. My server normally runs on Linux but right now I
have it on XP, as my linux server has some problems I need to address first.
So I can't rely on an exec to a *nix function right now.

Database Lookup
Could someone direct me to a site that would help me with the following:
Have database setup and loaded. Want to create web page that will use
database to do lookup of database on screen and allow selection of
field. Ie... lookup council member in lookup window, select and have
proper/correct committees councilperson belongs to appear.

Lookup Fields
What would the code look like to do the following?
Say you were working with customer and order tables. You are entering a
new order, and key in the customer id in the orders table. Or even choose
from a dropdown. Now say you have several other fields about that customer
that you want filled in from the customer table, ie name, address, phone,
etc... Once that customerid is entered and a tab key is hit, how do you
have the other fields looked up and auto filled in in code?
Please be basic here, I am new to php programming. But the auto fill in is
wat I am trying to learn. By the way, I'm not looking for a short list type
of thing, assume the customer table has several thousand records. Ive
heard of doing thing this with ajax. Ok how? I have no idea how the code
would look. So far I'm only up to a simple flat file database. I'm trying
to learn more now. Please see this for a more detailed description of what
I'm after. http://www.codecomments.com/archive...5-9-623448.html

Lookup Funcion
I wonder if there is php in a similar function to "Excel: Lookup Function,

IP Lookup Or HTTP Referer
I want to know if there is a function that I can know the IP of a user. For HTTP_REFERER, I can get the URL from the user such as www.sony.com. BUT is there any way I can also know the IP of that?

Case Sensitive Database Lookup
my script uses this code to check if a user name exist, how would I make it case sensitive, so John and JOHN will be check as well as any variations?

//username exists?
$result = sql_query("SELECT `m_user` FROM $membtable WHERE m_user='{$en['user']}'");
if (sql_num_rows($result) > 0) $err .= _reg_member_exists.' ';

Mail() Function Blocks Webpage For Nameserver Lookup ! How Can I Disable It?
When mail() function reaches a wrong email address or a down domain name (which it can not resolve it to its IP address) it blocks PHP page for a while. How can I disable this behaviour?

I was able to disable this in mail clients such as Pine by setting an option that tells "Do not make DNS lookups before ading mail to queue" . Is there anything in PHP for doing this?

Put Block Of Html Page Lookup Numbers Into Search Script Input
My web pages have alpha numeric lookup codes. Currently, the user has to copy the numbers and paste the numbers into a search box and click on the query button. Is there any way, other than turning the block into html hyperlinks, of getting the lookup codes into a php form input box or text box and initiating the search without copying and pasting?

Example:
pen 124:22 ; joyce 3:1 ; twice 888888:1233 ; rip 999:777

Getting Mysql Table Info?
Suppose I have a table with name 'tablename' in my database.

If I have no idea what are the contents of this table, is it still possible to retrieve the structural info in this table, like the field names and sizes?

Get Max Value In MySQL Table Field
I have a 2-field table "pageref".

The fields are: "pagerefno" - which is index and primary key, and "url".

I need to find the max value in "pagerefno", so wrote the following code:

$query ="SELECT max(pagerefno) FROM pageref";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " .
mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo row[0];

But this results in a blank screen. I'd be grateful for a steer, here.

Search A MySQL Table
I want to create a php script to search a mySQL table. I started to create the script myself, but I got stuck, because the script became VERY complex. The reason why it's complex is this:

*the script must be able to search all four columns of the table.
if the user defines four different values to search (one for each type of variable (ie.: for each column)). If he doesn't give four values but by example only two, the script needs to search on these two values...

*the script needs to return all four values of all the rows that match the query

*the script may not return each result more than one time

*if possible, the script needs to return 'the best match' on top

examples:
consider a table with four columns:
animal_type |age | name | sex
horse | 5 |beauty| female
horse | 4 |bless |male
cat | 9 |***** |female

the query (horse,5,beauty,female) must return
horse | 5 |beauty| female (only one time!!! this sounds logic, but it isn't!!!)

the query(female) must return
horse | 5 |beauty| female
cat | 9 |***** |female

the query (horse, female) must return
1) horse | 5 |beauty| female
2) horse | 4 |bless |male
3) cat | 9 |***** |female
(number 1 must be on top; 2 and 3 may be changed of place, because they only match one variable!!)

Creating Mysql Table
I have PHP script that creates a mysql table. My problem is when I goto the following php page to access the table it says "missing table 'table name'" I look in phpmyadmin and its clearly there.

PHP MySQL Updating Table Row

Here's the script I have to retrieve the database info and place them in the fields to edit (I didn't copy all the mysql connection script, it works fine): PHP Code:

How To Get A Field In The Last Row Of Mysql Table.

Table Dump With MySQL
I have recently moved from a host that provided only 1 mySQL db, to a host that allows multiple db's. How do I dump a table, or tables from the single db...into a new db(s)?

MySQL Table Create
Here is the code I'm trying to create the database with (I'm using phpMyAdmin so I just select the file I want to use and press submit and it creates the tables).

CREATE TABLE bips (
banned_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL);

CREATE TABLE messages (
entry_id double(16,4) DEFAULT Ɔ.0000' NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(25) NOT NULL,
email varchar(35) NOT NULL,
icq int(11) NOT NULL,
http varchar(50) NOT NULL,
message mediumtext NOT NULL,
when int(12) NOT NULL,
ip varchar(15) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE entry_id (entry_id),
PRIMARY KEY (entry_id));

------------------------
phpMyAdmin gives me an error with that, (none of those tables exists btw)... the error is

PHP Variables From Mysql Table
I have a PHP script which parces a mySQL table and shows which
sections meet on which day by using an array containing (mon,...Fri)
and another lisitng sections. I then have the PHP do to selecrt
statements on to list those sections that are mixed and those that are
not.

I have a title "Open to Boys and Girls" then it cycles through the
applicable groups. I want to hide this title if there are no group
from the mysql search but can't figure out how as the actual varaible
$result is set once the search is done even if it pulls nothing back

Code is below,

CODE
-------------------------------------------
$result = @mysql_query("SELECT Group_Name FROM `groups` where
".$section."_comment like '%".$day."%' and ".$section."_comment like
'%mixed%'");
echo "Open to Boys & Girls";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
$Group_Name = $row['Group_Name'];
echo "• ".$Group_Name."";
}// end Group Name loop mixed

Table Locking In MySQL
As there is no concept of Record locking in MySQL, Table has to be locked. If a Table is locked by one user, what happens to the other user who is accessing the table at that precise moment. Both are trying for a write access. What if the table is locked for more than a stipulated time. How should the script be written so that the other table who does not get write access waits.

Table Limits (MySQL)
I made a database of links. I now have a real long list of links when I list them on a page, I was wondering if there was a way to limit this list within a table. Basically instead of having a long list of 30 links, I would like a table with three columns of ten. Is there any way to do this with PHP and/or MySQL.

Last Line In MYSQL Table
I wrote a news script to post news posts in reverse chronological
order.

I'd like a page to post the last 6 posts from a page, from newest to
oldest.

But as it is, I don't know how to find the number of the last row in
the table. So I have to count down from 100, skipping blank entries
along the way.

Is there a simple way to find what how many rows are in a mysql table?

MySQL, Backup A Table In PHP
Assuming the table MYTABLE, i want to run a script to backup the table.
But there does not seem to be a straight forward function in MySQL to
achieve it,

Something like
COPY TABLE MYTABLE, bkpMYTABLE;

What would be the easiest way to do that using php?

I know that i can create a table bkpMYTABLE and INSERT the data from MYTABLE
to bkpMYTABLE but the problem is that i will be using the script to run
updates so i will not always know the structure of the data that the user is
copying, (because the script(s) will be precisely used to update the
structure of the table).

Maybe there is a function to retrieve the current structure and then copy
the data?

Also is there a way of testing if a table exists? and to test if a field
within that table exists?

Filling MySQL Table From Within PHP
I don't seem to get the following right.

date 2002-11-01. Other problem is the textstring in
$_POST['verklaring1'], in MySQL this stays empty.

<?php
$query = "insert into mutation values (2002-11-01, 1, 4, 1, 4, 10, 330 ,
' $_POST['verklaring1'] ',N,N,N,N)";
mysql_db_query("projects", $query);
?>

Also I set the field as TEXT since I will just be adding keywords separated by commas into them. Should it be something else?
