PHP :: Break MySQL Records Into CSS Columns Automatically

Searching Several Columns In MYSQL
I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I am trying to search multiple columns on a single database and display the info.

I have this set up but it only queries one.

$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT * FROM database WHERE column1 LIKE '%%%s%%'", $colname_rsSearch);

The above works fine for one column but I am having difficulty making it search more than one, I have been trying this method.

$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT * FROM database WHERE column1,column2 LIKE '%%%s%%'", $colname_rsSearch);

But continually get error messages?

PHP/MySQL: Using PHP To Probe MySQL Db And Send An Email Automatically
Let's say you have a login feature on your site... and a user forgets their password which is stored along side their email address in a MySQL database. Is it possible to use PHP to automatically send the password to that email address upon request? If so, please provide a detailed solution. If not, can Java be used in some way to accomplish this?

Split Mysql Results Into Two Columns
Trying to develop php catalog, but can't split the results into two columns, PHPcode:

Searching Multiple Mysql Columns
I'm currently building a database of local businesses, I'm quite new to using php and mysql. While I'm mostly managing to stumble my through it, a couple of things are confusing me. This is one of the things. If anyone can help, that would be really great.

Ok, so I've build a search page, and a results page and it works great but there is one problem. Currently it will only search through the 'name' column, but I'd also like it to search through the 'type' column at the same time.

This is the code I'm using to fetch the results
$colname_Businesses = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['search_par'])) {
$colname_Businesses = $_POST['search_par'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_HBBA_DATABASE, $HBBA_DATABASE);
$query_Businesses = sprintf("SELECT * FROM Businesses WHERE name LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString("%" . $colname_Businesses . "%", "text"));
$query_limit_Businesses = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Businesses, $startRow_Businesses, $maxRows_Businesses);
$Businesses = mysql_query($query_limit_Businesses, $HBBA_DATABASE) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Businesses = mysql_fetch_assoc($Businesses);

I'm not sure what to add in to make it also search through the 'type' column or where to put that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Automatically Reshuffling The IDs In MySQL?
Everytime I make a new table, I would firstly declare an ID field. (yeah I guess thats the root of the problem.) Take for example, we have 5 entries. If I delete entry 3, then the IDs will still be...

1
2
4
5

instead of getting the favoured 1,2,3,4 How, or what should I do to prevent this? I don't see any default ID fields in MySQL...is there any?

List Into MySQL Automatically?
I want to insert the names of these links into my MySQL database, and assign them an auto-incrementing id number. The auto-increment isn't a problem, I want to know if there is a way to insert the names of these school names, without having to type them in individually which would be a very painstaking process.

PHP/mySQL Running Tasks Automatically?
I have a MySQL DB with all my client details (name, email address etc).

I want to use PHP to retrieve records from the DB and email each of these clients (easy enough) BUT I want the system to automatically do this at pre-defined times.

I have thought about using the UNIX/Linux CRON utility to perhaps call a PHP script that would retrieve specific records (based on a timestamp perhaps?) and then have it email based upon those records.

Does this sound feasible? Are there better ways to do this?

Automatically Add Unique Id To Existing Mysql Db
I am working on a MySQL db (+/- 18000 items) which was converted from FoxPro. But is doesn't have a unique id-field and I was wondering how to add such a field and the incremented numbers in it automatically, without having to enter 18000 unique numbers.

Automatically Upload A MySql Tabel
I have a non-profit group that wants to upload water quality testing stats on a nightly basis to the web server database.

Currently, the info is sampled by sensors in a pond, then transmitted to their local server (probably Windows type).

They then want the info converted to MySql, then automatically get transported in the the web server database on a nightly basis.

Now, all the up font stuff is no problem, but I have not gotten in to CRON jobs yet, and wonder if a php routine can be built that would upload the MySql table automatically every night. I have seen them for just the opposite (downloading table info), but not uploading.

Some Files Created Automatically In Mysql Database Folder

How Do You Delete Records From Mysql
Could someone please show me how to delete records from mysql. Maybe even an example in a loop that deletes records based on a criteria.

How Many Records Can MYSQL 4.1.14 NT Via TCP/IP Can Hold?
how many records can MYSQL 4.1.14 NT via TCP/IP can hold?

how many records per table can MYSQL 4.1.14 NT via TCP/IP can hold?

how many records in a table can MYSQL 4.1.14 NT via TCP/IP can hold given the table has a field Primary key - BIGINT(20) autoincrement?

need your opinion..Here are the facts:

MY system is an internal one. My Server--Is only a Desktop.. Celeron 2.8 Gigahertz, 40Gig Baracuda HD, 512 MB memory.. And it serves an average of 20 users a day and it also serves me for my system development..The average records inserted per month on mYSQL is 10,000 records..We foresee that system would be used for about 10 years.

Counting Records In MySQL
I've been trying to write a page that checks the database and counts the number of records and if the number is less than 3000, it loads page X, but if the number is equal to 3000, it loads page Y.

I know this should be a simple if/else statement but it's the checking and counting that I cannot get to work.

How Do Iterate Through MySQL Records And Displat Them?
Basically I have a page where a person can choose from a list of stories posted by people, or they can choose to submit their own. I've managed to do the page where they can submit their on. The way i did this was to set up a mySQL database, and table in the database called stories. I then made an id (primary key), author, title, body and date field in the table. When the user submits their story its given an id (which increments on each submition) and their author, title and body fileds are sent to the database. The date key is automatically stamped in.

Ive also managed to have the submition page display what they submitted by using the count(*) function, their story would be the last to be submited , so it pulls that from the database and displays it.

Now what I want to do - on the page where they can pick a story, is have the page connect to the database and grab each record and display the author and title on the page next to a radio button. And have the id for the story in a hidden field or variable so when the user to chooses a particlar story it uses the id to grab the story from the database.

So how do iterate through all the records in the database, and display each one?

Problems Updating Records In MySQL With PHP
Sorry to ask what is probably a simple answer, but I am having problems
updating a table/database from a PHP/

PHTML file. I can Read From the Table, I can Insert into Table/Database, But
not update. Here is a copy of the

script I am using. I do not know what version of MySQL my host is running
nor do I have Shell Access to it. I

would like to setup a script so my website users can update thier records
without my intervention.

Also you may send replies to stevennyoung@yahoo.com

Begin Script

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("databasename",$db);

if ($id) {
if ($submit) {
$sql = "UPDATE tablename SET

'$Item',Price='$Price',URL='$URL' WHERE Username='$Username'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "table Updated.";
} else {
// query the DB
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE Username='$Username'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

Grabbing Specific MySQL Records
I have set up a target page to pull information out of a mySQL database to populate the page. The problem is that it is only pulling from the first record and not the record specified. What do I have to do to pull from a specific record? I am using Dreamweaver MX to administer the site on WinXP using PHP if that information will help.

PHP Mysql Outputting Records Repeatedly.
I have not messed with php/mysql in a while and have come up with a
problem I have run up against before but cannot remember the solution.
See the following page:

Very Slow MySQL SELECT Query After 11 Records
I have a very weird problem

I moved my database to new IIS 6.0 + PHP 4.3 + MySQL 4.0 setup. I tried to check with myphpadmin if everything works fine, but I couldn't browse my table (125 records). I used SELECT option and found out that SELECT query up to 11 records is ok, but after that, even if I choose to limit query to 12 records, it just hangs.
I tried selecting from the beginning of the table and from the middle - same thing, but when I run query localy on mysql console, everything works fine

How Do I Prevent Mysql From Printing Redundant Records?
I have a very urgent question. I am using php and mysql.
Say I have a database full of names and email addresses. I want to do a query that when you type in the name or partial name, mysql will only show a name once, even if it is in the database 200 times. Then I want to click on that name and have mysql show the 200 email addresses associated with that name (which I know how to do). See below:

Inserting Master-detail Records In Mysql
how I can insert a master-detail record in mysql? I use an auto-increment key, but I don't know how I can find that key for inserting the detail records, I tried to make a 'highest-key' function with 'select MAX(field)...' but in php it gives the wrong key (in mysql it gives the right one).

Changing Data In Objectified Mysql Records
I am using this very slightly modified function found here:
http://us2.php.net/mysql_fetch_object
to make mySQL rows into objects of type $classname:

// This takes db result rows and makes real objects of $classname type
function &buildObj($result, $classname) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if ($row === null) return null;

/* Create the object */
$obj =& new $classname;

/* Explode the array and set the objects's instance data */
foreach($row as $key => $value)
{
$obj->{$key} = $value;
}
$objs[] = $obj;
}
return $objs;
}

This is called by a retrieve: function:

function retrieve($where) {
echo $query = "SELECT * FROM $this->table WHERE " . join(' AND ',
$where);
$result = mysql_query($query);
$rows =& buildObj($result, get_class($this));
mysql_free_result($result);
return $rows;
}

The problem I am encountering is that if I do this in my script:

$listing = new Listing;
$listings = $listing->retrieve(array('row > 1') );
foreach ($listing as $aListing) {
$aListing->address='xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
}
foreach ($listing as $aListing) {
print_r($aListing);
}

The value in $aListing->address is unchanged.

However if I do this:

$listing = new Listing;
$listings = $listing->retrieve(array('row > 1') );
foreach ($listing as $aListing) {
$aListing->address='xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
$newArray[] = $aListing;
}
foreach ($newArray as $aListing) {
print_r($aListing);
}

I see the update values in $aListing->address .

Having Trouble Looping Through Records In A MySQL Table
I'm having some trouble looping through the records of a MySQL table using PEAR DB. Here is my code:

$navigationSql = "SELECT * FROM nav";
$navigation =& $db->query($navigationSql);
while ($navigation->fetchInto($nav)){
define("NAVIGATION", "<a href="$nav[2]" target="$nav[3]" title="$nav[1]">$nav[1]</a><br />"); }

The when I enter:
print NAVIGATION;

into any of my PHP scripts it should loop through the stuff in table named nav, but it is only displaying the first record and so far everything I've tried does not seem to make it loop through all of the records in the table and I can't figure out why not.

Displaying Priorty Records And Normal Records In The One Dataset.
I have a page which displays the records from the database and uses paging to display the records in groupes of 10 per page.

I now want to be able to show results depending on the database field (display) in the database (can be set to either "full" or "limited"). If the record and the field display is equal to "full" i want to then display this record at the top of the record set and display all the fields.

If the record is equal to "limited" i want to display different results and they must show after all the records which are equal to "full". I can't output two different recordsets as i use paging and only want to show 10 records per page. Code:

Count,sort,diplay Number Of Records In MySQL Table
I am designing a search engine using PHP/MySQL and I am logging all search terms into a MySQL table. I was wondering how I count the number of occurences of a term in the table, and then sort and display the terms in descending order. For example, if the column in my table with search terms looked something like this:

clothes
casinos
clothes
homes
homes
clothes

How can I count and order the records so that I can display according to how many times they appear, like so:

1. clothes(3 entries)
2. home(2 entries)
3. casinos (1 entry)

Reading An Array Of Records From MYSQL Then "Save As" Them Back As Copy
Hi all,

Ok here is what I want to do then I will show you what I have. I have some records in a MySQL DB that I want to store in an array and then immediately copy them back where the only thing that would change would be one field - the date. So here is my table:
-------------------------------------
|userName | date | value |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 345 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200004 | 678 |
--------------------------------------
| joeUser | 199908 | 897 |
---------------------------------------

So if I am querying for the user "theDano" on a specific date (format yyyymm) in this case 200005 (year 2000 month of May)

Here is my array to query all records to fullfill this request:

if ($update=="future")
{
if ($month!="01")
{
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbuser");
if($db)
{
mysql_select_db("dbName",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE userName = '$userName' AND date = '$date' ORDER BY value DESC ",$db);
if ($result)
{
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
$i=0;
while($i < $num)
{
$userName = mysql_result($result,$i,"userName");
$value = mysql_result($result,$i,"value");
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=Ê×'>" . $userName . "</td>";
echo "<td width=ï`'><div align='right'>" . $value . "</div></td>";
echo "</tr>";
++$i;
}
}
}
}
}

Now I want to take the array of records queried which was:

| theDano | 200005 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 345 |

and copy them to look like this back into the database:

| theDano | 200006 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200006 | 345 |

so you can see that the only thing changed was increasing the month by one. Would seem simple to most but I am having a tough time wirting the code to read the array and increase each date value by "1".

Thank you in advance for anyone that replies. )

Break After 5 In Loop
I just tried searching this on the forum but i couldn't find what I needed, i know there is a way to insert a break after a certain number of times a loop has been executed i.e. after every 5 times insert <br> But I've tried but the list is only having two per row:?

Is this possible? I'm new to programming and just trying to get thru it
all.

How Do I Break Up Using Nl2br?
How do I break up this: <?php echo ($row_rsabout['about']);?>

into seperate tables like the nl2br option in PHP:

Php Page Break
I am building a form that inserts data into a database and then another user comes and pulls like a report from the database of all the information int he database.

If Statement (break)
Can something be used in an if statement that works like a break; in a switch statement. I would like to exit the if statement and carry on with the rest of the script if a certain value is true

Line Break In Text Box To < Br >

Break Down Multidimensional Array
I have a multidimensional array and was wondering how it can be broken down...

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[intsch_id] => 1
)

[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[intsch_id] => 2
)

)

)

And I want to break it down to

Array ( [0] => 1 [intsch_id] => 1, [1] => 2 [intsch_id] => 2) And this is in a dynamic query, so the results won't always be this simple. It will have the same structure as the above multidimensional array.

Generating Page Break ?
I am doing a CARBASE for some dealer, to update his cars on sale online. Within the admin function he wants to be able to print out a list of all cars in the database, but only two per page. Now I have two questions:

1. Can I access the printer dialog of the browser from PHP?
2. Can I add page breaks after two records to get the printout right?

Break Words, But Not Tags
I have data drawn from a mySQL DB. I used to massage the text like
this:
nl2br(wordwrap(htmlentities(stripslashes($entry["msg"])), 27, " ", 0))

Now i have a problem: i wanted pasted links to become real links. I
found a script to do that...
(on the bottom of this post)

I have 3 problems:
1: The script doesn't recognise image links.... (*.jpg, *.gif, etc...),
and i really don't have a clue how to fix this... It handles things
like '*.php?parameter' well.

2: if i have a very long url, it distorts my layout, so want it to be
broken, but of course not inside the tag, but only the 'visual' tag...
I tried wordwrap, but that also breaks my tags.....

3: I want the visual part not to display the 'http://' part, but of
course it has to link to that...

Hope this is not too much...

----------------Code------------------

function makeClickableLinks($text_string)
{
$text_string =
eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_+.~#?&//=]+)', '<a
href="1" class="bodylink" target="_blank">1</a>', $text_string);
$text_string =
eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_+.~#?&//=]+)',
'1<a href="2" class="bodylink" target="_blank">2</a>',
$text_string);
$text_string =
eregi_replace('([_.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+.)+[a-z]{2,3})', '<a
href="mailto:1" class="bodylink">1</a>', $text_string);
return str_replace(' target="_blank">http://',' target="_blank">',
$text_string);
};

Can't Seem To Remove Line Break..
In my PHP script I put a text file into a string. Part of that string is
read, changed and removed. The while loop continuest to extract the next
part of the string. This goes all fine with one exception. When there is a
line break in the second string that has the extract of the first string, it
cannot find the words I am looking for as it stops looking when it hits the
line break.

For example:

string = why is that line break there
string2 = that line
break

I am looking for "that line break", it can't find it with stristr.

Which function can I use on the second string to have the line break
removed?

Break Current Script, But Run Next
I have PHP set upp to ato_prepend and auto_append files to every script
I run. So if I someone surfs to /index.php, these scripts run:

init.php -> set up DB connections and stuff. Buffers output
index.php -> The current page with it's layout, output is buffered.
postprocess.php -> Fetches buffer, applies layout to page.

Now, sometimes I want to break the execution of index.php (or whatever page
that is in the middle). For example, when someone submits a form with
insufficient data, I want to quit executing code and just put up an alert. But
if I use "die;", then PHP will stop executing all code, it won't just stop
executing the code in index.php.

Is there a way to tell PHP to stop executing code in the current script, but
continue with the next? I would guess that the same could apply to include()'d
files, where I want the execution of the included file to stop, but the page
that included the file shouldn't stop executing. I.e.:

<?
print "Hello ";
include("world.php");
print "!";
?>

And "world.php" would in this case just output "World", but by using some
method, I could just break the execution of world.php from within world.php
(without using large IF blocks) and the result would then be "Hello !" from the
page, and not "Hello " which happens if I use "die;" in world.php.
