Column Data From One Table To Another
im trying to get the vend_name column data from one table(manuf) into another table (products2) that has the same vend_name column which is empty but has a vend_code column as a key identifier.

im wondering if theres a way to put the data from the vend_code column and vend_name column from the first into an array so that i can populate the vend_name column of the 2nd table

this is what ive come up with below, it seems to be just puting the last record into those two array variables PHP Code:

Building Table By Column Rather Than By Row
I'm currently looking for a way to populate some html tables of varying lenghts and widths, pulling the data from arrays. I want to achieve this with a function in order to make this as dynamic as possible. example: function build_table($data){ ... }

$data would be an array containing a varying number of sub-arrays, the first array would populate the first row (column headings) and each subsequent array would be the data for each column rather than each row. Code:

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. So, basically, I want all of the animals to be available to train, and if they try to train an animal, I need code that checks if there is a certain column in a table, or if that animal has a specific stat. How would I do this?

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!

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'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.

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.

Table Background Color Based On Results From MySQL Table
I am trying to get the "Did User Agree" field on a database query to be colored Green for "Agreed" Red for "Disagreed" and Blue for "Agreed (2nd Time)" .. I have my PHP setup to do the query just fine as of right now with alternating column colors, just can't seem to get the colors to work as I am hoping for. Can anyone help me get the Agreed? table's background color to the colors above? Code:

Outputting A Table Or Form Using SHOW FIELDS FROM Table
In the code the MySQL database was queried using "SHOW FIELDS FROM table" which and the returned results of column names was then use to build an output for a form and a table with php using a series of if statements along the lines of if the returned field name matches something echo a text input field.

I have never seen this done this way before, so I want to get the opinion of the devshed user. Does it seem like an unsual long process to build up a form. Is there a security advantage doing it this way? Has anyone ever done it this way before?

Finding Matches In A Table And Then Moving That Match To Another 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.

Update Table While Insert Data To Another Table
it seem like mine coding din work.
[php]<?

$up = mysql_query("UPDATE studtable SET checked = 'checkin' where [ID] = '%ID');

if(mysql_affected_rows( $up ) == 1)
{
echo'Checked IN!'
}else { echo'No such student to check in' }}
else { echo'Check In FAILED, please check again'}?>[php]

Two Column Display.
I'm trying to display records in two columns. Here's my logic so far...

$numRows=get the total number of rows
$x=divide total rows in half (rounding up for odd #'s)

do a fetch_array on the query

I store the columns into two table cells, I start the main table here Start first table cell. First column of data=do a for loop from $i=1 to $x break into HTML and start the content. End First table cell

Start Second table cell. Second Column of data = do a for loop from $j=1 to $numRows-$x break into HTML and do content. End Second table cell

If anyone sees something inherently flawed with this or just knows a better way, hints and examples are always appreciated. I am an admitted newbie and very used to ASP, so I I think the problem comes from not being able to advance to another record manually. But then again, I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Adding Column
Let's say that I extract some data results from the database and I want to display it such as the following:

ColumnA ColumnB
---------------------------
Result X| Result A |
---------------------------
Result Y| Result B |
---------------------------
| Result C |
---------------------------
Result Z | Result D|
---------------------------

All results come from the same row , just dispatch in several columns.
If I have a variable saying that each result value is ' 1 '.

How do I add column A and display a total (in this case 3)?
How do I add column B and display a total (in this case 4)?

I have to precise that I don't know in advance how many results I 'll collect from the database. The ideal is to post total amount in each column.

Finding Last Row In Column And Adding 1 To It
I have a table with 4 columns, one of which is an ID column. Each row has to have a unique ID, so I was thinking that I could tell PHP to find the last row in "id", and Add 1 to it, and insert this onto the next row - that way it remains unique.

Paging With Column Hyperlinks
Im in a real bind here trying to figure out a solution to my problem.

I have a table which has paging. However, since the data is coming
from a database, I would like for the values in one of the columns to
also include hyperlinks.

Here is my sample code for extracting and displaying the data. Now I
would like to display col1 as a hyperlink, Col1 is just two letter
symbol char(2), however each symbol has its own unique hyperlink. I
have the hyperlink addresses saved in the database as well. Any ideas
would be extremely helpful! Thanks Al

///create query
$query = "SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 ";

///store results of query
$result = mysql_query($query . $pagingQuery) or die('Error, query

<td>column3</td></tr>'
while(list($col1, $col2, $col3) = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{echo "<tr><td>$col1</td><td>$col2</td><td>$col3</td></tr>";
}
echo '</table>'

Sha1 Column Type
I have read several online tutorials advocating storing a sha1() hashed
password in a column of type BLOB. As far as I can tell, sha1() always
returns a string of 40 characters, regardless of the size of the
original input. Is there any reason I can't store this as type CHAR? I
am running MySQL 4.1.x.

Debugging Column Logic
In a table displaying data on products in a given category I am trying to print table columns only if that column will be needed. However not all products in the category will have data for every cell, so for each product I want to display a table cell with data if it exists, otherwise display an empty cell. PHP Code:
