How To Check If Something Exists In Mysql Db
Is it possible to grab the data from the database, the var is $weburl, and $weburl will be a website, e.g. http://www.site.com I need mysql to be checked to see if $weburl already exists in the mysql database, i have included the database structure. But it has to check in such a format, it has to check if *site.com* exists in the database, not www.site.com or http://www.site.com Code:

Check If Value Exists
I have a form with stuff like name, id etc when it's posted i want to check if a name already exists with php. If it doesn't already exist then it's ok and it's saved. if it exists then i want to ask for confirmation from the user like "do you still want to send this information". It would be nice if i can have this confirmation with a javascript box. how would i do this, i mean how do i pass data from the form page then to the check page then to the javasript box and then to the code that saves it?
How To Check If File Exists
Have a look in a folder, check if there is a file and if there is display one thing, if not display something else. example: $result=mysql_query("select * from my_table"); while($row=mysql_fetch_object($result)) { if(fodler/$row->name.txt exists) { display this} else { display thus } }
Check To See If Image Exists
I've tried three different methods of checking whether an image on a server (sometimes my own, sometimes somebody else's) exists, and I'm not getting consistent results. Method 1: if (@fclose(@fopen("$burl", "r"))) Method 2: if (file_exists($$burl)) Method 3: if ($img = @GetImageSize("$burl")) where $burl is an absolute URL to an image. Methods 1 and 3 seem to return the same result, but Method 2 (as per the PHP Manual) always seems to return a "not found". However, the strange thing is that all three methods sometimes return a "not found", even when the image does exist. For example, here's such a banner: http://www.is1.example.com/cgd.aspx?BID=18457&AfID=100845&AdID=2941 Is this because this banner is actually returned by some code on the the hosting server, and if so, is there any way around this (other than trying to copy the banner to my own server - although in this particular case, I can't do that either)? (The reason I need it is that I have about 280 banners in rotation across several of my websites, and I have written a program that will check them all, switching them off or on as required, and emailing the results to me. If I can't find a consistent and accurate method of finding whether the image is currently working or not, I may have to go back to checking them all manually.)
How To Check If A Database Exists?
I'm writing a class to create Databases, and I'll also make one to create Tables. But how do I check if a database already exists? just by checking if you can select it like so: // Select the MySQL database $this -> db_select = mysql_select_db ($this -> database); // Test the database selection if (!$this -> db_select) { return false; } (don't mind the "$this" it's coded in OOP but I didn't think I would need to put it in the OOP forum for this simple example) So is this the right way to check it or is there another way?

Check A File Exists In Another Directory
I am writing a script that will insert a link to the page, but before it does that, it must check to see if the page exists. I can use the file_exists($page_file) function, but it seems to only work if the file is in the same directory where the script executes. My script is supposed to find the script in another directory, but it does not find them and returns false. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
How To Check If A Session Exists In PHP4?
$id = session_id(); if ($id == '') {... no session ...} If the $id is empty, then there is no session. But the problem is when I use the "session_id()" function from a different page than the page that contains the "session_start()" function, the returned $id is always empty. Do have I to pass the SID in the url or something? Is there a setup file that I should update?

Check To See If A Variable Exists In An SQL Database
I am working on a project. I want to safegaurd against a user entering a number into the database multiple times. So what i want to do is run a query and check the users entry against the database, and then return an error if it exists. Here is how i thought it would work The script would take the Text Field posted and asign it a variable $var = $POST_['textfld']; Then i thought it might work if i were to say $var2 = mysql_query("SELECT item FROM table WHERE var = '$var'"); Then i could have a statement similar to if { $var = $var2 echo "Number already entered into Database"; } else echo "Thank You"; I thought that would be a good way to make it work, but its not working so far, any suggestions?

Check If A Table Has A Column Or Not?
I've got a training center for a bunch of different animals, but these animals don't have the same stats.

How would I do this?
Can You Check If A Session "exists"?
I'm going to start this post with the words so many before it have started. "I'm just beginning to play with sessions..." I'm just experimenting for now, but within the month, I'm planning on writing a basic e-commerce site using PHP/MySQL. I want to store items in a Session, then write to the DB at the end of the transaction. Not sure I'm going about this the right way, but... I was thinking about having a script that gets run on every page, checking if the session has been started. A session would be started when someone clicks on "Add to basket" for the first time. If the session has been started, then I'll display "Click here to check out your basket" if not, then display something like "Basket empty" or something. So, is there a way to check if a session exists without actually starting one? Is there simply a variable to check for? I had been checking for $PHPSESSID, which seemed to be working okay, but if I started a session, $PHPSESSID wouldn't be true in that same script - didn't "exist" until I reloaded the script - but then again, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Checking If Row Exists In MySql Database.

Not Echoing A Variable If It Exists In A MySQL Table
I have a variable $mydate which loops for all the days of a month (in a while loop), so therefore for April its: 01042007 02042007 03042007, etc... I also have a MySQL table "bookings", which contains the field "date". This field is populated with rows of dates, with the same format as those in $mydate (eg. 01042007) Is there any way to not echo $mydate if it exists as one of the entries in the "date" field in the database?

Loading A MySQL Column Into An Array
ok i have a forum i am creating and i store the id of the forums where people are moderators in their userinfo. i speperate them with a comma. i need to either load them into an array or use explode() but i'm not sure how to create the array. i'm thinking that using an array would be faster because i could search in it to find out if the user is a mod.
Displaying MySQL Column Names Using PHP
I'd like to be able to display the column names of a table on a page. Is there a way to read that information in using SHOW? And then to display that information again? Or would I have to store these names in a seperate table and display these values? I tried this, but it sure didn't work: $result = mysql_query ("show columns from industries"); print ("<table>"); if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { do { print ("<tr><td bgcolor=#cccccc>"); print $row["field"]; print ("</td><td bgcolor=#cccc00>"); print $row["type"]; print ("</td><td bgcolor=#cccc00>"); print $row["null"]; print ("</tr>"); } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)); } else {print "Sorry, no records were found!";} print ("</table>");

Should I Add A Multi Column Index To MySQL?
I have a mysql table. Two columns in the table are used to pull out stories from the table. One of the columns stands for categories of the stories, and the other column is the primary key and has the id for each story. I am thinking of writing queries like this: mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE category='Science_Fiction' AND story_id=ཀྵ'"); I am wondering if I should create a multi column index that covers both "categories" and "story_id" columns. -- INDEX (categories, story_id) Would this increase performance?
Numeric Column Names In Mysql?

Question About Datetime Column In Mysql
i tried this question in the mysql group, but have not heard anything. i have a database with about 20 tables. The some of these tables have datetime type columns in them. What i am basically wondering is if there is a way to make a default value of now() apply if it is not specified when the row is created. i know this is possible with a timestamp, but is it possible with a datetime column ? and if so, how ?
MySQL, Turn Column Into Array
Today is the first time I've used MySQL with PHP. What is the best way to turn a column into an array? This is how I am doing it at the moment, surely this is sub-optimal: $query = 'SELECT something FROM table' $result = mysql_query( $query ); $i = 0; while( $arrayTemp = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) { $array[ $i++ ] = $arrayTemp[ 0 ]; } echo "<ul>"; foreach( $array as $string ) { echo "<li>$string</li>"; } echo "</ul>";
Exclude A Column From A Mysql Command
Is there a way to exclude one specific column in a mysql database from a command. IE: I want to use the command $sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE DailyDataSF_copy"; But have it affect all columns except just one specified column that'll stay the same. Any solutions to this? The table has like 90+ columns, which is why I'd like to do it this way if at all possible.
Searching A Mysql Column Against Multiple Variables
I have an array of zipcodes which I am trying to check against a mysql table. I want to search in the column "zipcode" in a table of a bunch of entries. I want to search each rown to see if the value of the zipcode column is listed within my array. This could be said vis vera, that I want to check the mysql table to see if any of the rows have one of the values from the array inside the zipcode column. I've tried the statement "select * from table where zipcode IN ('$zipsearch')", but it seems to return an odd sequence of data. It doesn't seem thurow enough. similarly the entire statement is : select * from table where description like "%$trimmed%" OR title like "%$trimmed%" AND zipcode IN ('$zipsearch') order by date" I can't seem to get the statemtent to break up my requests right so that the logistics of teh statement are : select from table where (descriptions like variable or title like variable) AND <zipcode search problem>
How To Display Newly Added Mysql Column
I have a mysql table and i want the user to add columns using a php interface and then display the table with the newly added column. I was thinking about putting all the columns names in a special table but there must be another more efficient way. as an example this is my query to display the table: $result = mysql_query("select * from news"); while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title=$r["title"]; $message=$r["message"]; //display the row echo "$title <br> $message <br>"; } now if the user alter the table and add a column "rank", how can i update my query automatically so it can display the newly added row (or column)?
MySQL Query Returning Empty Column

All others display as they should.
Select Single Column From Mysql Into Array
Is there a way to select a single column from a mysql database and directly put the results into an arrray? Here is the workaround below, but I would like to elimniate the array_push step: $uids=array(); $res = mysql_db_query("db", 'select uid from tbl;', $link); while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($res)) { array_push ($uids, $row[0]); }
MySql VCHAR Column Converted To Float By PHP :-(
I fetch the following value from a string (VCAHR(250))colmun in a MySql table: "30000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0" When I write it out using echo() I get : 3E+50 Appearently the PHP interpreter converts the VCAHR value automatically in a float despite the fact that the value is defined as a VCAHR in MySql. While trying to convert float to string back in PHP using type casting or settype() I get always the string "3E+50". Does someone know how one can fetch the VCHAR as string? Does someone know how to print a formatted float to get the desired result? I tried printf() but no success.
MySql Error 'Unknown Column' From PHP Variable
I'm getting an error message that makes no sense to me. I have a table with a field named 'testkey' for a list of "keys" in the form of ABC10102. I have a php variable holding a specific key number. The relevant code is - $_testkey = 'LAL10102' $sql = "SELECT * FROM `pro_keys` WHERE `keynum`=`$_testkey`"; $result=mysql_query($sql,$db_conn); echoing the $sql gives - SELECT * FROM `pro_keys` WHERE `keynum`=`LAL10102` But I get the following error - MySQL error #1054 - Unknown column 'LAL10102' in 'where clause' ?
Method Name Exists, Property Value Exists, Calling Method Fails
I have a class object I am calling in another class: class Stuff { var $myObj; function Stuff($myObj) { $this->myObj = $myObj; } function doStuff() { print_r(get_class_methods($this->myObj)); print_r("<P>"); print_r($this->myObj->name . "<P>"); print_r($this->myObj->getName() . "<P>"); } } The first "print_r" works just fine and shows a "getName" method in the array of methods for object $this->myObj. The second "print_r" works just fine and shows the property value that was set in a prior $whateverObjName->setName('Whatever'); the value comes up as "Whatever". BUT the third print_r throws a nasty error "Member function called on a non-object". What happened? How did it turn from being a legitimate object to a NON-object in one line? Could someone with some class experience point me in the right direction as far as using "getter" functions of one object inside another object function?
Valid MySQL Database/table/column Name Regexp
regular expression in PHP which could be used to check that a proposed (My)SQL database/table/column name is valid, i.e. shouldn't result in an SQL error when created? The user of my (hopefully to be opensourced) program has the ability to create database/table/column names on the fly. I'm aware of obvious characters such as ., [space], things like >, etc., which won't work, but haven't been able to source a definitive list, including having googled the MySQL site. Obviously certain characters need to be filtered out, as noted above, but I want to be as unrestrictive as possible; hence just [a-z]* isn't good enough because things like _ are acceptable. Ideally, I'd prefer a regexp that applies to _all_ vendors' databases, not just MySQL as I'm about to migrate the program to being database-independent, probably using PEAR DB, but even a MySQL-specific regexp would do the job. In the longer term, I plan some sort of entity conversion script so that theoretically any character could be used, using some sort of escaping mechanism probably.
