PHP :: Create A Table Regarding A Text File

Need To Create Drop Down Box With Data Pulled From Text File
Trying to make a drop down box like this example:

Dog
Cat
Bird

But sometimes I will need to update it...and add/remove names from the list. I want to do it fast and easy and I don't want to use a MySQL Database. I'd rather use a text file...can that be done? I would keep the info in a text file and then push it to a drop down box via php and html.

Populating Table With Text File
My web hosting service uses phpMyAdmin and at the bottom of the screen
iis an area where I can upload a text file to populate a table.

I have a table named groups with two fields:
groups_idauto-increment primary
groups_name

So how do I create my text file to populate this table?

I'm going to use MS Notepad.

If it's set to auto-increment, do I need to include the number? If
so, does it start at 0 (zero)?

Would the file look like:

0,students
1,faculty
2, staff

or just

students
faculty
staff

Using Php To Move Rows From Text File Into Mysql Table
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the way to read a text file a

an INSERT to add a record to a mysql table. Then read the second line in
text file and repeat.

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 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.

How To Create A MySQL Table With PHP?
How to create a MySQL table with PHP?

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,

http varchar(50) NOT NULL,
message mediumtext NOT NULL,
when int(12) NOT NULL,
ip varchar(15) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE entry_id (entry_id),
PRIMARY KEY (entry_id));

------------------------
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?

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

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?

Row Size Error On Create Of Table
I have a table that already exists in MySQL, and I want to add it to another database - but this time defined with the UTF-8 charset. This is part of some preparation to move from the default lation1 to utf8.

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.

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 Different Text Files
I need to create a different text file every time a user registers. Currently every time a user registers there details are sent to "users.txt". So all user details are in the same text file. I would idealy like each text file to be named after the username registered. Here is the code currently being used:

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$data = "$username, $password /n";

$fh = fopen("users.txt", "a");
fwrite=($fh,"$data");
fclose=($fh);

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?

Help? How To Create Next Buttons When Using A Flat Text Database
Ok, I know the code below does not work but I am wondering about the logic...

1 How do I just print 10 rows.
2 How do I get the buttons.

You get the Idea. Anyway, I would like to know if anyone has done this with text files. I always see mysql as examples but nothing using a flat text database.

Read And Display Japanese Text From Text File
I posted a question regarding reading japanese
text from a text file.

Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for
the benefit of other people with the same problem.

The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I
will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese
language study script.

Method :

I wrote a simple kanji text file (saved with UTF-8 encoding)
I wrote a simple PHP script to display the file contents (saved with
UTF-8
encoding)
I specified the content-type header for the HTML page :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

*** All files have the same encoding. ***

UTF-8 supports japanese characters.

and it works!

this is my PHP (and HTML) script :

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>PHP : Japanese Text File Read : Exercise 1</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php

$filename="japanese.txt";
//open file
$fp = fopen($filename,'r');

//loop through each line in the file
while($line=fgets($fp))
{
//output current text file line
print $line."<br>";
}
//close file handle
fclose($fp);

?>

</body>
</html>

I know it's a very simple script, for testing purposes only. It
displays the contents of the japanese text file line by line.

The key was to save all files in the same encoding (I used UTF-8) and
to specify the encoding / charset in the HTML header (<meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">)

Remove Text Header In Text File
I have been having trouble removeing two header lines at the top of my txt file. You will see in my code the different things I have tried but with no luck. Below I posted my script and data. I am doing a few other things in my script as you will notice but this is the only thing I am having troble with. Code:

How To Make Text Wrap In Table Cells?
I don't understand this at all. I have a table with fixed width and height in pixels. Yet when I place a long text string in a cell, the cell expands as far as needed to the right or left to fit the string on one line. This is driving me quite mad. How do I ensure that a long string is displayed in a neat, orderly fashion? My question has nothing to go with wrapping text around images. I just simply need to have text wrapped!

Problem In Handling Long Text In MYSQL Table
i am making a database driven website which is working fine.
My web page contains lot of text and it is very diffcult to upadate its content from the text_field of MQSQL table. As i have to read each line again and again to update it.

I have alloted parent_id to each category_id in my database table and thus retreving results from it...

I want to know what should i do to handle this long text ...such as if i am able to make a seperate text file for each of my html_body variable and somehow include that file to a webpage when i select a particular parent_id from my wepage.

Explode Text Area Into Array For MySQL Table
On my site, I have a textarea where users enter their sites' information in the following format (tab-delimited):

Site Name <tab> Site Description <tab> URL <newline>
Site Name <tab> Site Description <tab> URL <newline>
(and so on...)

I know I have to use the "Explode function and a loop to get the data into an array and enter it into a MySQL table. Would anyone have a snippet of code off-hand that could show me how to do this?

Creating Temporary Table From Full-text Query
i'm using a full-text search on my db which works fine, but now i'm working on filtering the results further, like products in range of prices. my logic is to simply SELECT them out of the temporary table, only if it would be created. i don't think i need to paste any code since i think you get the idea.

Can Php Create A New Txt File?
I'm trying to build an e-card page for a client using php, but they don't want to use a mySQL database, so I was wondering if PHP can create new text files when someone enters their information into a form and then the recipient gets an email with that txt file reference in a link and can then go to a page that populates with that particular text.

Does it sound like I'm on the right path?

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.

Table Based Order Form That Can Email Text Entered?
I have a custom order form that I collaborated on with a friend who knows php.

The form needs updated and the code we put together is hard for me to read and update. I think the form can be refined or rewritten in a more OOP way and hopefully as sematic as possible.

The Form is for entering ready made frames. The Choices are color and size. Here is what I need to do:

Enter Name, Email, Store Number, Comments Etc.Create a table based form where users can only enter numbers in each text field.Upon completion, agreement, and submission of the order an html email is kicked to our inbox. The table remains as it was on the website due to html and a separate print css file. Code:

Create A Csv File On-the-fly For Downloading
I have a large database-created table on a page, that needs to have a "download as csv file" link (actually, as xcel, but I'll bet that's much harder to create).

Cannot Upload And Create File
I've written this script to upload files to my server, and if the file being uploaded is an image file, a thumbnail is automatically created along with it.
