Displaying Data In Html Table.
I wondered if anyone could offer some guidance, I trying to write a
php script to connect to a database, and display the records in a
table.

I found the code here in a php4 text, and when I run this directly
through the php intrupeter, the line Successfully connected is display
and 4 as the number of rows.

The database table we connect to, has three field username, firstname,
surname.

When I tried a while loop, to display the data in a table. No values
were displayed.

Could anyone possibly demonstrate how to display the username,
firstname, surname values in a basic table?

<?php
function db_connect(){
global $MYSQL_ERRNO, $MYSQL_ERROR;

$link_id = mysql_connect("localhost","user04", "password04");

if(!$link_id){
$MYSQL_ERROR = "Connection failed";
return 0;
}
else if(empty($dbname) && !mysql_select_db("database04")){
$MYSQL_ERROR = mysql_error();
return 0;
}
else return $link_id;
}

!$link_id = db_connect();
if(!$link_id) die(error_message('Error connecting'));

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
if(!$result) error_message('Error in selection');
else echo "Successfully connected. ";

$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$total_records = $query_data[0];

if(!$total_records) error_message('No records');
else echo "$total_records.";
?>

How To Combining 2 Db Fields Into One Selection?
In my db I have 2 fields: first_name and last_name & I want to combine these 2 fields in my drop-down menu.

What I have now is showing only the first_name -- I know that it needs to go into the third option in here, I'm just not sure how to get both of them into it. I can get the first_name OR last_name, but not combined. Code:

Combining Serialized Data
I have some data I want to serialize but I want to combine them.

something like
serialize($data1).serialize($data2)

and then later on I need to deserialize them back into two seperate
variables. I'm not sure how I can go about this? Obviously I could seperate
them by some token and use that but I'm not sure how safe it is. Is there a
better method? or a token that I know I can used.

I guess I could do something like this

$str = serialize(array(serialize($data1), serialize($data2)))

then
$t = unserialize($str);
$data1 = unserialize($t[0]);
$data2 = unserialize($t[1]);

but seems like the long way around?

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?

An example would be an airline website were you select how many people are travelling and then it echo fields for those people to enter their names.

Problem Sorting By 2 Fields From Table
As part of a rating system on my site, data for the total rating and also the number of votes gets added into a table. I am currently trying to query this table to get the highest rated row of data.

This worked fine when I only had "ORDER BY rating DESC LIMIT 1" at the end of my query - It would select the row where the rating was 5 out of 5. I realised that if 2 rows had the same rating, I could not determine which one to select. So i tried changing the code to: "ORDER BY rating, num_votes DESC LIMIT 1". For some reason, this now selects a row where both the rating and num_votes values are 0.

Just in case you need to see the entire query, here it is:

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.

All help appreciated,

Displaying A HTML Table With PHP
I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to get my head around databases at the moment. So far I have a page that kinda takes the mickey and takes a few details from you, it then creates a cookie that can be removed later. It also prompts you to add the data you gave to a database.

All this works perfectly, but when it comes to displaying the results of the database, all I can show is the first entry in the table. Can someone please tell me how I'm supposed to see all of them?

I've read other articles but they don't make much sense to me.

BTW, the database details are as follows:

Database name: visualanteorg
Table name: people
Fields: id, name, shoe_size, job

As you will see if you choose to look at the pages, getting the information out is not a problem, it's just formatting it how I want it, so each entry appears under the other in the table.

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!

Displaying A Table Using ID Number As Hyperlink
i am able to insert and display data to the end user, but i am trying to let the end user edit a row. I am unsure how this is usually done, but i am have the following code to display by data

echo "<table border='1'><thead><tr>";
for($i = 0;$i < mysql_num_fields($sql_result);$i++)
{
echo "<th>".mysql_field_name($sql_result,$i).
"</th>";
}
echo "</tr></thead>
<tbody>";
for ($i=0;$i < mysql_num_rows($sql_result);$i++)
{
echo "<tr>";
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sql_result);
foreach($row as $value)
{
echo "<td>".$value."</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</tbody></table>";

The user have a jump menu (combo box) to pick the table they need to show information on, so the columns displayed are going to vary, but i have a column called ID which is the same in each tables which is the index (auto increment) field.

I was thinking about using this number comnbined with a hyperlink, so the user can click it to take them to a page to edit that row.... But i have no idea how to do this, or if there is an easier way which i just do not know; or how do most people achieve what i require...

PHP Script To Sort Data/create Pages According To Fields?
Someone fills out 3 fields. (There will be more but this is just to
give you an idea)

1. Country
2. State
3. City

I want this script to generate a web page and list the people by
information submitted.

eg. Everyone that put in USA will be listed on a page.

or

Choose California and everyone that typed in California will be listed
on a page.

I can also create links with criteria at the end. eg.

This script will also accept data from people. So people will visit,
type of the form and if the information is valid (not spam) then
they'll be in a database and able to be sorted.

Redundant Data Display Based On Multi-value Fields
I have a website where I want to send an email out to a bunch of users of all the new content posted that day. My content is tagged in different genres or groups. A piece of content can have multiple tags. So an example would be that my content is called "Video Program A" and it has been tagged in the vocabulary "Genre" as "Horror" and also as "Narrative". So in my email, if a piece of content has been tagged more than once, all the other fields get printed out multiple times, too. How can I make it so that even if the there are multiple termname and vocabname data, the rest of the data (title, description) only gets printed out once? Code:
