PHP :: Column Data From One Table To Another

Displaying Information In A 1 Row/2 Column Table
I'm very new to php scripting and haven't quite figured out what I need to do here.

I need to display information in a 1 row/2 column table. I have the MySQL query working fine, but the scripting part in php is killing me!

In the first column a graphic about 70x70 will be shown (plus some additional padding). In the second column will be the description information. The second column will be around 400 pixels wide.

How do I set this up in php? It's easy enough in HTML, but I've about killed myself trying to figure out how to properly lay this out in php!

How To Check For An Existing Column In An Table?
how can i check with php a table for a column. if it doesn't exist i
want to create it.

Updating Column In A Table Using Phpmyadmin
i have about 60 records in a table and in each there is a column called itemtype which is empty i need to update all of them to T how can i do it easily

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column IS NOT NULL
I am running the following MySQL query:

<?php
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comics WHERE story_arc IS NOT NULL") or die (mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) {
echo $row['title'];
}
?>

The problem is that it is outputting all 4000+ records, when it should only be about 100. Is there an error with my 'IS NOT NULL'?

Showing Everything In A Column In A Mysql Table
Need to know how to echo an entire column in a MySQL table. I've tried various things but they only echo the one at the top.

Search Only Works With Table Column Name
I have tried several different codes to create a database search of a table that includes column name "Product," "Price" and "InStock." I am trying to search the "Product column and in each code when I enter a term I know to be in the table it comes up with an error (usually "Unknown Column 'input' in 'where' or

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in").

The only way the search works is if I enter the actual name of the Column (in this case "Product") and it displays the entire table.

Recursive Array From A Twin-column Table
I have a MySQL table with two columns: catagory and parent. Parent contains the parent catagory of the catagory. I need to query the db ONCE, assigning the info to an array, then create a recursive array parenting catagories and grouping accordingly.

List Db Results Vertically In 2-column Table

Displaying SQL Query Results In 3 Column Table
I would like to be able to display the results of an sql query in an html table, but the results need to be displayed in three columns, for example:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Result 1 Result 2 Result 3
Result 4 Result 5 Result 6
Result 7 Result 8 Result 9

I've tried to find the answers on the internet but i can't find anything that suits my needs!

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.

Select From Drop List To Fill Table Column With Text -- HOW ?
I want viewers to compare state laws on a single subject.

Imagine a three-column table with a drop-down box on the top. A viewer
selects a state from the list, and that state's text fills the column below.
The viewer can select states from the drop down lists above the other two
columns as well. If the viewer selects only one, only one column fills. If
the viewer selects two states, two columns fill. Etc.

I could, if appropriate, have a separate htm page with the text for each
state -- california.htm for example. When the viewer selects California from
the drop down list, the column below would "fill" with California.htm.

Or, I could conceivably use a text or mysql database with two fields for
each record: state_name and law_text -- but it would probably be easier to
use separate htm files, since there will only be about 20 states involved,
and the "database" would never have a large number of records.

The table width would be 100% and each cell would be @33%

My site is designed with FP 2002 and runs on Apache/FreeBSD. I have just had
Apache-ASP installed but I have not yet configured or used the module.

Display Database Output In Mutli Column Html Table
I am building an HTML form using data from a mysql query. The data to be displayed on the form is 1 column from the db - but multiple rows. Because there are many rows (well, only about 100+) in the table I want to be able to put 2 or 3 (space permitting) rows from the result on each row of the HTML table with a checkbox beside each entry from the db table. The idea is that the user will scroll down the list and check up to 4 or 5 boxes before submitting the form and I didn't want them to have to scroll ALLLL the way to the bottom (100+ rows). I understand how to get data from a db table and put it into an html table, but I cannot figur out how to put more than 1 row from the result on to the same row of the html table.

I hope I haven't confused anyone reading this -- If I am way off base with what I am trying to do please give me alternatives. I am trying to avoid paginating the data for a couple reasons a) clicking a next and/or prev button is more hassle than just scolling down a list and b) the data in the column being displayed is only about 35 - 40 characters and it seems to be if i only placed one result row on each html table row, there would be a lot of wasted space.

Splitting Column Data.
I am trying to seperate a columns input so I can have many links from the one column....

Fetch Row Data Where Column Value True
I am looking for some guidance here with something I have driven myself nuts over. I have a MYSQL table that holds site variables in three fields, a "varname" field, an "id" field, and a "value" field. I would like to fetch the "value" field where the "varname" field is true. Example Rows:

ID=1
varname=title
value= My Website Title

ID=2
varname=url
value= http://www.mysite.com

I would like to add the value into a template by using the code: $setting[title] or setting[url], etc. Can anyone tell me how I go about fetching a row ov values where a specific coumn value is true?

Grab Data From A Table, Echo, Then Insert It Into A New Table...

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.

Column Data-Type For Storing Serialized Array In MySQL?
I'm really not sure - I used BLOB in the past- but the arrays are only a few kilobytes. But VARHCAR only allows 255 characters at most and the arrays might contain many more characters than that.

How To Query From One Column Then Sort Using Another Column
I am trying to get the last 100 albums I entered into my database using the album_id (Highest being the latest entry) then sort them alphabetically using the album_title column.

I can get the latest 100 easily but cannot figure out how to also sort the results by the album_title before I display them.

This is what I have so far which gets what I want but not in alphabetical order.

<?php
$sqlquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM albums ORDER BY album_id desc limit 100", $db);

while ($result = mysql_fetch_row($sqlquery))
{
echo "<a href='music_info.php?album_id=$result[0]'><span style='text-decoration: none'>$result[1]</span><br></a>";
}
?>

I have been trying to add a second ORDER BY to the query like so.

$sqlquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM albums ORDER BY album_id desc limit 100 ORDER BY album_title", $db);

but this obviously isn't the way I should be doing it.

Paging And Sorting Column By Column Name?

Help Listing Data In Php From My Table.
I have a result set that came from the query "SELECT * FROM characters" and I want it to list on my php page the results like:

How could I do that?

Inserting Data Into A Table
I would like to know if there is anything strange about the script below(I have only just started to learn php so there may well be!)
Although it seems to work, occasionally it doesn't just insert a single row into the data base, instead 2 or 3 duplicate rows end up in the table. Could the explanation be that I tried this morning to create a table and forgot I already had one with this table name in the database. Would that have damaged the table in some way making it misbehave!
I have commented out the bit about creating tables as I only want to insert data with this script at the moment. One other thought occurs to me, is the problem due to my host freedom to surf as its only a free host and I expect you get what you pay for(or don't pay for in this case). I have subscribed to a pay host http://www.phpwebhosting.com but I am unable to use the database that they have provided because they have informed me that I must use a telnet shell to log into my database and I have absolutly no idea what this is(is it in my Win98?) or do I need to go and get one. I am still waiting for this host to email me back with some help. If there is anyone out there who could tackle all or some of my problems I would be very grateful indeed!
One last thought - I think there is something very strange going on as sometimes when I visit my database, there is less entries in this table than last time, some have been chucked away and my id entries are all out of order now, something like 1,2,3,11,5,7,12 - the last insert had id = 12 next to it and somehow another duplicate has sprung up id = 11????????
Whats going on please!

Entering Data Into A Second Table:
Using a script, I able to insert the data into the first table of my mysql db, but when I try to insert the same into second table(duplicate, so same vars, etc.. no prob at that level), it doesn't go through. It doesn't even make an empty row(which would mean wrong vars) Someone told me to check in the logs of both PHP and mySQL. How do I do this?

Copy Table Data To Another
I've been searching in the PHP forums for this answer, and I've found something similar, and have used to this to the problem I have.

Anyway, when I do run this script I get an error line 5 which is the 'while' statement.

$query1_exec = mysql_query ( $query_newsfeed );

// Error here!
while ( $query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc ( $query1_exec ) )
{
$query2 = "INSERT INTO newsfeed_map ( itemid,heading,news_date,content ) VALUES ( $query_row[$itemid],'$query_row[$heading]','$query_row[$news_date]','$query_row[$content]' )"
$query2_exec = mysql_query ( $query2 );

Any ideas where I could be going wrong?

How To Replace ID With Data From Another Table.
I'm working on a project where I have a MySQL table that contains
profile data. This data has 2 grouping fields one for group and one

each profile. With this said, I created 2 more tables one for group
and one for criteria. Tables would look like this:

HTML Table With Data From Two Recordsets
I have two MySQL tables, say one is author and one is books. Author contains a unique PK say author_id Books contains an author_id also which links across to the author table. Usual stuff. My problem is getting at the info.

If I wanted to display the info, in it's mnost basic format, I would set up a HTML table with the columns and repeat the row. PHP Code:

Echoing 3 Types Of Data From 1 Table Row
I have this script where one of the rows in a mysql table is named "type" tinyint(3).

now when a person joins the site they have a basic membership and their data is 0 in the type row when they become silver members it is 1 and gold is 2 all 3 numbers are entered into that one row for each member depending on what kind of membership they have.

what I want to do is echo each type of membership on a page by the total number of each type so say there is 100 basic memberships then it would add up all the 0's within the row in the mysql database and then echo that total. I have already gotten it to display total number of users by adding. Code:

$query = "select id from user";
$result = MYSQL_QUERY($query);
$totalusers=mysql_num_rows($result);
@mysql_free_result($result);
if(($s=="")or($s>=$totalusers)or($s<0)){
$s=0;}

and then having <?print $totalusers;?> where ever I want it to echo. How can I do the same with the memberships? I have a feeling that it would have something to do with $totalusers=mysql_num_rows($result); i need to change mysql_num_rows to something else?

Simple Adding Of Data To A Table
I'm basically creating a system which add records to a pre made SQL
database built in SQLyog.
So far i'va had no problems actually connecting to the database and
displaying resulst but I just cannot make it add records. I know its
connected to the database as a I made a mistake with connection
details on purpose to see if it recognised it.
I just add data into a text field, click submit and the page goes to
a
new, blank page with no changes to the table when I check in SQLyog.

Here is the code I have tried (simple add before I code the proper
system):

HTML page
<form action="script.php" method="post">
Test: <input type="text" name="test2"><br>
<input type="Submit">
</form>

and the PHP script to add data:
<?
$host="localhost"
$username="root";
$database="test";

$test2=$_POST['test2'];

mysql_pconnect($host,$username);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query = "INSERT INTO test2 VALUES ('','$test2')";
mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();
?>
