Using A Hyperlink To Retrieve Data? Is It Possible Without?
I was wondering if it is possible to get data from a database using a hyperlink instead of a form? My situation is I have a page with a list of products (data from a mysql table) and I want to keep the info on the page small so I have limited the description and left out some info. what I want is a link at the bottom of each product that says "more details" and when clicked it creates a new page on the fly to show more info. is it possible to do this without javascript? If so How.

Can't Retrieve Data From The Net With File_get_contents ?!
for some reason i keep getting :

Warning: file_get_contents(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed:
Temporary failure in name resolution in
/home/rob/www/php/filegetcontents2.php on line 3

Warning:
file_get_contents(http://folding.stanford.edu/teamstats/team92.txt): failed
to open stream: Resource temporarily unavailable in
/home/rob/www/php/filegetcontents2.php on line 3

when trying to retrieve a page of text (stats for a distributed computing
project) from the Net like this :

$personal =
file_get_contents("http://folding.stanford.edu/teamstats/team92.txt");

i also tried implode/file ... same error.
but when i fill in the URL in Mozilla it is retrieved just fine and no
'temporary failures' at all ?!

what could be going wrong with the name resolution ?

mysql_connect("localhost") or die(mysql_error());

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] | !

$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

Retrieve Data From Multiple Tables Via Combo
I am working on a small project to create a single web page which retrieves data from 3 tables.

The first table is retrieved by a combo box. It only contains the primary key of the table. I know how to get the data in the combo.

The second table contains other information, related to the primary key of table 1. I know how to retrieve all the data, but not how to retrieve only the data of the selected primary key.

Retrieve Remote XML Before Transformation?
I need to scrape some data from a particular website, and had myself geared up for some regular expression magic--when I realized the site was serving straight XML files, transformed client side with XSLT.

"Lovely" I thought, "This will make my life easy!" Alas, no matter what method I try to retrieve the xml I can only manage to fetch the rendered HTML output.

file_get_contents returns rendered html.
curl_exec returns the rendered html.
a socket connection returns rendered html.

The most frustrating part is I can "view source" in my browser window and see the xml I'm looking for, but can't get to it with PHP. Arrrrgh!

Retrieve And Display 3rd Party Pages
I'm wondering if you can show me an example php page that allows me to
retrieve and display 3rd party pages. I.e.,

when my php script is called as http://site/path/getit.php?file_key
it can retrieve from http://3rd.party/path2/name-with-file_key.htm
and display the result back to the browser.

I don't know php, and start to learning it. So I hope you can give me a full
php page, not a segment. I don't think it'd be too long though. Luckily, I'm
a programmer, so you don't need to comment it much, unless it is too
convoluted.

Further, if you can throw in handling of gzipped files, that'd be super.

PHP Retrieve Image From Mysql Database

How Can I Retrieve, Edit, And Update Text?
I'm trying to retrieve a text value from a MySQL database, put it into
an updateable form, allow edits, and send back the edited text back
into the MySQL database. I've been able to successfully retrieve the
text and put it into the editable form, using htmlspecialchars
function. But, I can't find a way of accepting the edited text and
sending back to the database.

Here's my code for retrieval.

<?php

@ $db = mysql_connect('localhost', '<database>', '<password>');
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again
later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("<database>");

$query = "select * from albert where ".$searchtype." like
'%".$searchterm."%'";

$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$title = $row['title'];
$teaching = $row['teaching'];
$teaching = wordwrap($teaching, 60, "
", 1);
$teachnum = $row['teachnum'];
}
if ($result)
{

echo '<textarea name="newteachnum" rows="1" cols="4"
wrap="off">'
echo htmlspecialchars($teachnum)."
";
echo '</textarea>'
echo '<textarea name="newtitle" rows="1" cols="60"
wrap="off">'
echo htmlspecialchars($title)."
";
echo '</textarea>'
echo '<textarea name="newteaching" rows="20" cols="80"
wrap="on">'
echo htmlspecialchars($teaching)."
";
echo '</textarea>'

}
?>
<form action="teach_update.php" method="post">
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>

Here's the code to update the database.

<?php

@ $db = mysql_connect('localhost', '<database>', '<password>');
if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again
later.";
exit;
}
mysql_select_db("<database>");

$newtitle = addslashes($newtitle);
$newteaching = addslashes($newteaching);
$newteachnum = addslashes($newteachnum);

$query = "update albert set title =". $newtitle . " and teaching =
". $newteaching . " where teachnum =" . $newteachnum ;

print $query; //the print shows nulls for $newtitle, $newteaching,
and $newteachnum. It seems like those values are not being held in
memory from the calling program teach_edit.php

//$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Could not update!");

// if ($result)
// {
// echo mysql_affected_rows()." text item updated into
database.";
// }
?>
