Column Table
I have a table of records; the records belong to different user ids and are distinguishable by a reference number, Each record has a price. so theres a price column.

The problem isnt getting the total of the whole column. the problem is getting the total for the specific user id and displaying it at the bottom of the price column.

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!

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.

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:

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.

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.

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?

a MySQL database?

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
