How To Populate HTML Table From Local Text File.
I am looking for a way to populate an HTML table from an external
local text file which looks like this:

DATE/TIME LAT. LON. DEPTH. ML.
-------------------- ---------- ---------- ------- -------
21/03/2005-04:06:03 XX,XX XX,XX 171 3,42
21/03/2005-12:23:53 XX,XX XX,XX 500 5,4
21/03/2005-12:43:10 XX,XX XX,XX 553 5,38
21/03/2005-18:47:51 XX,XX XX,XX 162 3,91
21/03/2005-19:29:49 XX,XX XX,XX 500 3,51
21/03/2005-20:04:51 XX,XX X,X 75 3,72

The file could have more rows (DATA) that I show here. The file is
provided to me on a daily basis and I have to update a web page daily
with the contents of the file.

I considered using JavaScript embedded in the HTML page but I am a
newbie on what scripting for the web it refers.

How can I populate the HTML table with this text file which changes
everyday.

Also, is it possible to use php client-side only, without a server?

Create DB Table

CREATE Table With PHP Script
I'm trying to write a PHP script that will create tables, so I'm working of a test script at the moment and I've been trying to use some code from a phpBB script to do this as while mysql has a nice mysql_create_db function they have no create_table function, not that I can find anyway.
I can't find a similar problem from searching here either :-(

The code I'm using is below...

<?php
include ("../cgi-bin/connect.inc");
$tables = array ("test" => "CREATE TABLE test (
testing varchar(20),
)");
$result = mysql_query($tables);
if ($result) {echo "YEY";}
else {
echo("<P>Error: " .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit(); }
?>

and it returns this...

Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'Array' at line 1

Something simpler such as

<?php
include ("../cgi-bin/connect.inc");
CREATE TABLE test (
country varchar(40) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE country (country)
);
?>

just gives an error on the 3rd line

If anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to create tables with PHP scripts, which I know must be possible as phpBB manages fine.

MySQL Table Create
Here is the code I'm trying to create the database with (I'm using phpMyAdmin so I just select the file I want to use and press submit and it creates the tables).

CREATE TABLE bips (
banned_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL);

CREATE TABLE messages (
entry_id double(16,4) DEFAULT Ɔ.0000' NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(25) NOT NULL,

message mediumtext NOT NULL,
when int(12) NOT NULL,
ip varchar(15) NOT NULL,

------------------------
phpMyAdmin gives me an error with that, (none of those tables exists btw)... the error is

MySQL said: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'when int(12) NOT NULL, ip varchar(15) NOT NULL, UNIQUE entry_id (entry_i' at line 8 .

CREATE TABLE Problem
I have a problem creating mySQL tables with PHP. I am making an app
where a user can create a project. Pressing "submit" on proj_form.php
goes to proj_add.php where a couple of things happen. The project's
meta information is put into a project table, mysql_insert_id() gets
the $proj_ID, and a table named that $proj_ID is created to hold all
of that project's tasks. Here is my code to create the table for a
project's tasks:

// 2) Create a table for the tasks of the new project
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $proj_ID (
task_ID int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
task varchar(40),
person varchar(10),
notes varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (`task_ID`))";

Here is the error message that creates:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' ( task_ID int unsigned NOT
NULL auto_increment, task' at line 1

It has to do with trying to create a table named $proj_ID. How do I
get that to work?

on.

Editor To Create Table From MySQL
Does anyone know of a Windows editor I can use to design a table from
a MySQL database?

I have a end-user catalog I need to create. Nothing fancy - just
display a few fields. I could hand code it, but do not have the time
to relearn all the sql. No shopping-cart or anthing, just display
fields.

Urgent: Create Table If It Doesn't Exist?
I'm using a script what inserts data into a table (called "_$this" - e.g. "_2") like the following: Code:

mysql_query("insert into _$this->uid (time,referer) values ('".time()."','$this->referer2'");

I need to check if the table "_$this" exists before inserting data and if it doesn't exist i'd like to create this table before inserting it like: Code:

mysql_query("CREATE TABLE _$this (definitions)");

Means in simple steps:

1. Check if table exists - if yes -> step 3, if no -> step 2
2. Create table -> step 3
3. Insert data

Any code snippet for a php-newbie like me?

Create A Dynamic Table Javascript?
I have picture section where users can upload pictures to my website and I have created a basic way viewing these pictures but this is not astheticaly pleasing. So i was wondering if i could populate a html table with these pictures.

The way this system works is that it uses a while loop that brings the date, url and also who uploaded the picture into the page. I was wondering if this information could be put into a table but i cannot see a way. Code:

Dynamically Create Table Rows As Needed

Create A Link In A Table From Echo 'ed Sql Data
im using the following code to output everything in a database table under headings in an html table untill theres no more data left. The headings are things like name address etc.

could i make it so when all the data is shown each name or ID becomes a link and when clicked takes the user to a more detailed page on the selected client.

because of the way the table is generated there is no where to place link tags. is there a more appropriate way that is more editable?

it would be nice to have checkboxes at the edge of each customer also to enable a complete status or deleting a client from the table. Code:

Create A Data Entry HTML Form For Given Table
I am working on a simple web site updating utility for a web site. Rather than hard code the data entry forms, I would like to automactically generate them based upon the table a user selects to update or insert into. What is the best way to approach this?

for "insert" should I use the MySQL DESCRIBE table command and build a form element for each field according to its data type? for "update" should I use the DESCRIBE command to build the form as above and SELECT statement to populate each element with data, or should I just use a SELECT statement to retrieve the data and use php to determine the field type and choose an appropriate form element?

Create A Button To Export A Mysql Table To An Excel File.

Populate One Menu From Another
I thought this would be simple and there would be advice / tutorials
everywhere for this, but now that I'm working on it, I can't find any
reference except for ASP or Javascript code. PHP/MySQL - 3 form select
menus: Project, Categories, Subcategories. When a Project is selected, the
Categories list is populated based on Project selected, then Subcategories
list is populated based on Category selected. I see this all over the Net,
but through 10 books, there isn't anything specific. I think I get lost
with some of PHP structure since I've been using DW - I end up editing most
of it in order to follow it, but DW works pretty good for getting initial
testing done. I just can't seem to find further guidance on this. So far I
have:

Populate Form
I have a database of project number, client info, address, phone, ect. And I have a form to add data, and one to edit data... On the edit data form, I want to set it up so that when the project number is highlighted via a pull down list of active project numbers, that project number fill auto fill the form with the clients info from the database.

Then, the user can edit this info...and submit the mofifications. Is this done with php, javascript, or ajax? Which is best? I'm pretty sure this could be done with php, but how? Can I get an example of code? a good starting point.

Populate PDF Fields With PHP Variables
I have a HTML Form that needs to take the variables and place them into a PDF with the corresponding fields that I have created with acrobat. I guess there is a two-part question coming up.

1. What is the process of taking my HTML variables and placing them into the PDF fields in the PDF file I created?

2. Does PDFLib that I hear so much about accomplish this task?

Populate In To The Form Fields
i worked on some programs that gets the datas from the user and insert them in to the database.now i want to retrieve the data from the database
and i want them to populate in to the form fields.

Dynamically Populate PDF Form
I found a free script/class online a few months ago which enabled me to populate pre-built PDF forms with data using PHP; without using any toolkits etc (it worked perfectly). It was simply a PHP script. I lost the script when my PC died recently DOH!

Does anybody know where I can find such a script again? I have searched google all night, but all I find is commercial products (not cheap!) or toolkits for generating PDFs', not filling pre-built PDF forms. Here is what I am trying to do:

I have built a site for a client which incorporates e-learning. Students take lessons and if at the end of the course their grades are sufficient, they download a PDF certificate. The certificate is in PDF format with Form Fields for the required data. The certificate needs to display the students name, grade and course name. I need a PHP script which can import server-side data into a PDF form which the user can then print or save (flat). The last (and lost) script did this so I know it is possible.

Dynamically Populate A Drop Down Box
I have a website with products for sale and along side each item I have displayed the number of each of these items that are left in stock. What I want to do is to have a dropdown box so that the user can choose the qty of itmes to order but they should not be able to order more than what is in stock.

For example if there are 5 items left then the drop down box must be initialised at 0 and show the numbers 1,2,3,4,5. When a purchase is made then the drop down must be adjusted to match what is left in the database. Code:

Populate Dropdown W/o Submit
Ive got some arrays; one array is most of the U.S states. the other arrays are names of clinics my company has within the selected state. I want to be able to select a state from a drop down and have another drop down next to it that will populate itself automatically.... without having to press a submit button.

Populate Form From Database
I need to somehow change the SQL query so that when I select the client name from the selectbox 'clientdd' it fills the form out with their data. Code:

Using PHP And MySQL To Populate (select) Menus
I am a newbie to php *gasp* and I am trying to make a <select> drop down menu, but I want the menus populated by information from a field in my database. There are a bunch of entries in the field MUD, that are identical......I would like the menu NOT to repeat identical names. EX... Each name only once, even though it is in the database many times.

Retrieve Data From The Database And Populate
I know how to fill data in text boxes and submit to the database and retrieve from the database. But how do you retrieve data from the database and populate a drop down menu?

Automatically Populate A Pull Down List...
What I want to do is have 2 pull down lists, for example a state pull
down list and a city pull down list. What I would like to have done is
when you select a state from the state pull down list then the city
pull down list will populate with all the cities from that selected
state. I know that is a lot of data but that is just an example. Or
something like when you are looking up cars online they have a make
pull down list and a model pull down list, and when you select the make
it will populate the model pull down list with all the models from that
make.

List Box Basics: Populate From Flie?
I have an html drop-down list (they're called combo boxes in vb, not sure
what they're called in html):

<select name="ipSelect" size="1" style="width:140px;"></select>

The user is supposed to select an IP address from this drop-down list and
then code will do stuff with the selected IP address. The list box needs to
be populated with IP addresses that are stored in a flat file (which changes
periodically). What's the best way to get the list of IP addresses from the
file into the drop-down list? Would JavaScript be best since that would
avoid delay from the client's perspective? Can this be done in PHP?

How To Populate HTML Form From PHP/MySQL
I have found many examples of how to access an HTML text field from
PHP, but cannot find the reverse - how to load an HTML form from a
MySQL database.

Specifically, I have an HTML form which contains several text boxes
that correspond to the fields in a MySQL file. What I want to do is
call a PHP form that reads one record from MySQL and then populates
all of the HTML fields on the calling form.

The call to MySQL is not a problem - that works and I can use "Echo"
to verify that I have successfully read a record. Now, how do I get
that data back into the original HTML form?

Dynamically Populate A Drop Down Menu
I was able to get information out of a table. know I am trying to dynamically populate a drop down menu. I am having some trouble populating the option value with $row['f_name'] " " $row['l_name'] The same issue with the option display name. Code:

How Can I Populate A Listbox With The Result Of Mysql Query?
I would like to populate a listbox with the result of a mySQL Query.

Returning An Array To Populate A Drop Down Menu
Scenario: two related tables (Many) 'patient' and (one) 'doctor'. In the patient table, each row has an entry for doctor_id.

I have created a drop down menu on my patient form to input the doctor_id. The dropdown only shows the doctors' names.

This menu is generated by a SELECT statement on the doctor table. The result of SELECT goes into an array, and then each element of the array is inserted into the dropdown with a 'while' loop. This works fine.

However, I wish this dropdown to set itself to the correct doctor's name, when I retrieve a previously inputted patient record. That is, if patient 'Smith' is allocated to doctor 'Neo', the record is then saved, and later I retrieve the record: I wish to see doctor's name (Neo) as the default in the dropdown menu.

Populate MySQL With Multiple Text Box Entries
I have about 300 rows of mysql data which I have chosen to diplay with a text box at the end of each row, that is available for adding comments. I would like to be able to add comments to entries and then have an update scripte that would take the text box, named "MC" and place the data in its row identified by a hidden field which would corrrespond to the Primary Key of the MySQL Database. I've done something similar using check box arrays, ie. Checkbox name="MC[]"

My question is whether I can write a script that would test for a value in the corresponding text box, and update the MySQL data accordingly. I have also provided in my display script that if the MC column is already populated in MySQL it will not display in the form.

Populate A Calendar Page With MySQL Data
I'm trying to figure out the best way to populate a Calendar page with data from a database. I have the code that will generate the Table with Days of the week, but I'm at a loss on how to populate this with data from a database.

Do I build the calendar and then for every day that I generate a cell, query the DB or should I load the DB in an Array and compare that to the date of the cell?
