PHP :: Checking If A Value Is Not In An Array And Deleting Record From Database

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.

Basically when the user presses the submit button I would like all rows in the database table "users" with the corresponding column "date" to be deleted when the form variables date correspond to those in the "date" rows. I think all the checked dates might also need to be put into an array. Would anyone know how to do this?

Deleting A Record.
One last (hopefullly) problem I can't seem to get around for this
program...why isn't this deleting the row i want? It does nothing. Now error
messages either. HELP!

$link = mysql_connect("localhost");
if(! $link)
die("Could not connect to MySQL");

$database = "PC_Store";
mysql_select_db($database)
or die ("could not open $database: ".mysql_error() );

$result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM inventorydata VALUES('$ProductID')");

The $ProductID variable is brought in from a menu choice on a diffrent page,
it is also the primary of the table...so it should delete the whole row
right?

Deleting Record From Mysql

Safely Deleting A Db Record With Php
I hope I'm not OT.

I have the following issue:
I want to delete a record from my db with a php script. Let's say I'm auth'd
and I want to delete the record id 440. With a simple form (get or post), I
send the id to my script and delete the record (DELETE FROM table WHERE
id=some_validated_input).

The problem is if I'm a nasty guy I just write my own form and delete any
record I want (since I'm auth'd) by just sending another id.

Is there any way to make arbitrary record deletion non-trivial in php? I'm
thinking about a hash function to replace the real db id (DELETE FROM table
WHERE record_hash=validated_form_hash), if possible without adding an
awfull lot of server side computation.

Deleting A Record From Another Table

Deleting A MYSQL Record From Within An Html Form
Just rebuilt an admin tool in PHP (originally built in asp) for a news section of a site.
The problem is: My delete records php page is set out in an html form, with each news story expressed with a checkbox. normally i'd put a <a href="delete.php?id=<? echo $row->id; ?> </a> alongside the record, but i need to have it work in a form.

What action should the form have, and how do i get the form to process the deletion process with the correct news story checkbox selected?

Checking If A Record Exists
I am writing a fantasy f1 system for 2008. What I have so far is the system taking the records perfectly fine but I want it to check to see if a few things have been duplicated.

1 - username
the login system uses sessions and i have the users name as the team owners name. I want it to check to see if the user has already registered a team, and if so i want it to say "you already have a team."

2 - teamname
pretty much the same as the above - aka that team name is already in use. I dont want it to check all the fields as some will be duplicates within the database.

Checking If Record With Some Field Exists
PHP research on how to check if an entry
exists on the table. I came up with the following code:

include("dbinfo.inc.php");
$Name=$_POST['Name'];
$Code=$_POST['Code'];
mysql_connect($host,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Contacts WHERE Code=$Code");
if($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) echo "exists";
else
{$query = "INSERT INTO Contacts VALUES ('','$Name','$Code')";
echo "ok";}
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();

This works if the code is integer (1264), however if the code is
string (a4fg5h4) it shows - "Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied
argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:xampphtdocs
eg
insert.php on line 10
ok"

I can't found out what is the problem here as all the examples on the
web shows similar codes to do checking.

I have uploaded the same script to a new website and it no longer works. The file does get deleted but the database line doesn't get removed.

Deleting Records From Database
I have another question about record deletion from
database.

For example, my database has 10 records with ids 1
through 10. If I delete id #10 then everything is good
and all the records are still 1 through 9. However, if
I delete record id #4, then in my db I would have
records 1 through 10 with id #4 missing.

Is there a command that syncs the database? How do I
go about this to keep all the ids in the right order
after the deletion? or What do I need to do to prevent
that from happenning?

echo("match ".$x);
break;

2 => 'ghi');

and I have a variable, $bar, which equals 'def' ... and I want to check
my array to see if the value of $bar exists in the array, and if it
does, delete it from the array.

if (in_array($bar, $foo)) {
// what goes here???
}

I've done this before, but for the life of me, I'm drawing a blank now.

$query = "SELECT widget_type FROM $database WHERE widget_type = 'A'";
$result = mysql_query( $query );
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

if( $row[ 'widget_type' ] == '' ) { $has_widget_type = false; }

If it is searching the whole database, is there a way to make it stop as soon as it finds the first instance of widget_type A?

Database Record Linking
I develop websites on the side, it is basically a hobby. An organization has approached me to develop a site for them which I may or may not take depending on one thing.

Can't Insert Record Into Access Database
I'm trying to create a registration/login script using Access 2003. I'm using ADOdb to connect through ODBC.

The problem is that I get the little custom error Could Not Connect to Server when I try to insert a record, yet when I use the form with a username I inserted through Access it reads it just fine and returns if the username has been used.

Deleting A Single Item From The Middle Of An Array?
I have an array that contain objects, I want to be able to test against the id of that object and remove it from the array. In it's simplest for I want to go from this:

$people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harriet', 'Brenda', 'Jo');

...to this...

$people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Brenda', 'Jo');

The fact that the items in the array are objects should not matter right? Plus I've already written my loops and conditionals to check which item i need to remove.

function removeItem ( $item ) {
   $len = count ( $_SESSION['basket_arr'] ) ;
   if ( $len == 1 ) {
      emptyBasket ( ) ;
   } else {
      for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $len ; $i++ ) {
         if ( $item->id == $_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i]->id ) {
            //$_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i] must go

Error Checking For Unique Value In Database Table?
I am inserting data into user table which contains 5 fields, sounds simple
enough normally but 2 of the fields are designated as UNIQUE. If someone

Would it make more sense to actually run a SELECT query first and if that
returned a result, then I use that for error checking and don't run insert
until select returns nothing?

Entering/checking Info Into Mysql Database
I have set up a client database where one can view, add, edit and delete entries. I ran into a problem setting up the add page.
