PHP :: Creating A New MySQL Database

Problems Creating Database MySQL In PHP
Hello, here is an interesting problem: I can connect to MySQL and create there normally databases via command line. The problem is when I want to create a database in PHP, I have problems apparently with the configuration of username and password in MySQL. I have PHP 4.3.9 as a module Apache2. and MySQL 4.1. I repeat, I can connect normally to MySQL in PHP, using mysql_connect() with the right hostname, username, password values. but when I write a script to create a database in PHP, it has these problems. This is the simple script:

Problem Creating A Mysql Database Named M#2 Using Php
I am serving a website using apache. All the php and mysql code I have
written works, except for one thing. When I try to create a database
named M#2 using the following call, no database is created.

$db = 'M#2'
$query = "create database '$db'";
$result = @mysql_query($query);

I am able to create a database just fine using this technique when it
is named other things (such as M$B, or Global1). I am able to create
the database using CocoaMySQL. The MySQL documentation I read says the
only characters you cannot use are , . / and , but they don't mention
"#". Also, it mentions that if you can have any database name that can
be used as a directory name. I am able to create a directory name in
unix called "M#2".

Creating Database
1. How do you create a MySQL Database??
2. How Do You Assign A Password And Username To It??
3. How Do You Access It??

Creating An Album Database
i'm trying to create a database of some cds. my database design has 2 tables for every cd.

1) album_details (some info for each album)

- album_id
- album_title
- album_sleeve
etc.....

2) album_tracks (songs for each album)
- album_id
- track_title
etc.....

the problem with my database design is that there is redundant data! for example, a cd with album_id 1 may have 20 tracks. the album_tracks table would have 20 instances of the album_id.

when i pull out the data from the database, the tracks keep repeating the 1st record from the album_tracks table.

my SQL statement:

SELECT album_details.album_title, album_details.album_sleeve, album_tracks.track_title
FROM album_details, album_tracks
WHERE album_details.album_id = $album_id
AND album_tracks.album_id = $album_id

Creating A Website Tree From Database
I have been given the task of creating a website tree-type diagram. I have details about web pages stored in a MySQL database. There is a reference column in the database using the format:

1.0
1.1
1.1.1
2.0
2.0.1
2.0.2
2.0.2.1

I'm sure you get the gist. What I need to do is loop through these rows in the table, outputting them in their heirarchical structure, turning this into a graphical representation in HTML.

This has me confounded from the start. I'm not sure how I would loop through these numbers in the correct order. Also, I'm not sure how I would now when I've got to the next level of numbers e.g. after looping through 1.1 - 1.6 (which should all be in the same row), how I would know that I now need to create a new row for 1.1.1, and that on this row should also be 1.6.1 --- I'm confused just writing it out.

Creating A Search Class That Searches Any Database
I've been requested by a client to implement a search engine on it's website. I told him that he does not need it, but he thundered on and well...Who cares, he' s gonna pay for it.

I've made search methods for other sites, but I would like to implement a portable one. A Search Class that could work for any DataBase and with ease of configuration.

Maybe de constructor could receive a database name in which to search.

And the function search, could receive an array of tables in which to search on and a string to search for on those tables. The question is...how would u implement the way that the class returns results?

Nowadays any pro site has the MVC controller. That means that almost all tables in the database have its corresponding model. Table clientes correspond to the Client Model. How would you implement the results return?

What Is Indexing In Mysql And How It Will Be Useful And How We Can Retrieve Database Content Easily From A Database Table Containing About 5lakhs Datas
I need to select data from a database table containing huge amount of
data. Now I am storing data using one primary key and I am just using
simple select statement, and this process gives me the output but it is
taking long to execute the query. As much I had heared I want to use
some indexing or cluster indexing which might help me but I am not so
familiar with these things.

Creating XML From Mysql
I am trying to pull data from an MYSQL table. Right now I am only getting the first record out because I am not using a check array. Here is my code, I have been bashing my brains in all day over this hopefully someon can shed some light on this. I tried a basic array earlier and it didn't work. Code:

Creating Mysql Table
I have PHP script that creates a mysql table. My problem is when I goto the following php page to access the table it says "missing table 'table name'" I look in phpmyadmin and its clearly there. Eventually after refreshing the page like ten times it detects and works. Do I have to reconnect the mysql connection or something?

}
?>

Creating Table Using PSP And MySQL
Ok, so Ive overcome the first hurdle of connecting to MySQL and MyDatabase on my
web server using PHP scripts. Now I want to create a simple table with 3
fields. Don't have a clue where to start using PHP.

Creating A Mysql Dbase Via Php?
I was wondering if anyone could tell/show me how to create a mysql database via a php script as my hosts do not support telnet(dont ask).

Creating A PHP/MYSQL Scheduler
I am trying to do is create a schedule that will block off times that are already booked, as well as color code a small calendar depending on whether there are AM or PM openings. I managed to create a working edition, but I took the easy route of making the time in 30min intervals and creating a column for each time (0800, 0830, 0900, etc) in the DB.

Now I need to create it allowing ANY time to be booked for ANY interval. I have an idea as to what needs to be done, I am just not sure how to go about doing it.

What I set-up was a table with the technicians names and times they can work that day. It simply had a column for name, column for start time (datetime field) and column for finish time (another datetime field).

Then I had a bookings table with many columns for different fields to do with the booking, but it also had a field for the name and start/finish datetime columns.

What I think I need to do is run a query first to grab the time range that someone is available that day. Format it somehow into a PHP array. Then look at the existing bookings and find the time free between the booking and the available hours using PHP. Display a color if there is availability in the AM, PM, or both.

Then I need to create an HTML table to display the bookings and free time based on the DB info to allow creation of new bookings. Can anyone provide some guidance who has done something similar or would know how to do it? I just need the base of finding the free time between bookings and available hours and displaying a table with such info.

PHP, MYSQL With Creating Waitlist
Would anyone have any suggestions as to how to set up a waitlist? Here is what I have:
A user goes on to my site and registers for workshop. They are offered a list of open workshops or they can be waitlisted for workshops that are full. What would be the best way to structure this? I currently have 3 basic tables:

users
register (transaction info that connects users to workshop, has timestamp)
workshops (info about each workshop, date, time, cap, etc.)

My idea was to have an "order" field in the register table that would renumber itself every time someone registers or changes registration, but I am having difficulty with this renumbering. I was thinking I could use this order field to tell if someone's order has changed. So for instance, I cap the workshop at 5 people, and 6 people are registered. The 6th person is actually on a waiting list.

Then someone drops out of the workshp and now that 6th person is the 5th person and is no longer on the wait list. I could create some php code that said, if the person's old order field is 6 and the new order field is 5, then send an email "you are registered!" That is what I am trying, but I am having difficult storing the old value and then renumbering and finding the new value.

Creating A MySQL Table
I'm trying to create a table in PHP. I can use phpmyadmin to do it but I can't create it in PHP. I even copied the code generated in phpmyadmin and it still didn't work. Here is the code:

Creating Link To From A Mysql Row...
I have the following code:

echo "<td>" . $row['title'] . "</td>";
I want it to link to $row['url'].

I have tried multiple methods, but I seem to be missing something.

MySQL Creating Links From Query
As I am still learning PHP could someone tell tell me how to achieve the following?

Display only the first four records from a sql query and have 'next page' links and number of pages so users can navigate the next four records and so on. The usual navigation you find on search engines.

I have the query and the num_rows function, I just need to know how to implement it.

Creating Search Engine In Php And Mysql
I want to create a search option for my site (ONLY searches my pages, NOT a web search).
A lot like the one on these forums actually. I was just wondering if anybody who has done this before had any suggestions as to how I should go about doing it.

Is it possible just using php and mysql... or would I need to use some other type of language (to make the spider). Or do I even NEED a spider for something like this?
Here is how I think it could be done. I'd have 2 columns. One for the location of each page on the site. Another would have text from the page (perhaps the first 40 words on the page).

From there, I could have my searching script compare the search value against anything the text column. if it found the search value in the text column it could display the link in the results page, with the text from the page to serve as a description.

Creating Directories From MySQL Query
I'm trying to create a subdirectory within a directory. The directory uses $rows['link'] from the category table, and the subdirectory uses $subcategory2 from the subcategory table. The directory that gets created is always based on the last record in the table, rather than the parent.

I have tried using another query, but only the subdirectory gets created then......

Creating A Tree And Storing It In MySQL
I'm wanting to create a tree structure and store this in a database, which can then be retrieved and displayed. I'm looking to implement this with PHP and MySQL. From what I gather it is possible using a table with two or three columns: ID, Parent_ID, Description.

So if we start from the top, the leaf would have an ID of 1, and a parent_id of 0. An item down the tree would have an ID of 2, and if a child of the first, a parent_id of 1, and so forth. How would I extract this from the database? Would I get all the data and then manipulate with PHP? Presumably I need to use some kind of recursion(another thing I'm a little shaky on).

PHP Code/libraries For Creating MySQL Databases
I am working on a registration system, and one of the things I am going to
need to be able to do it setup the database tables for each event that I
have registration for. Normally I would do this by hand, but I am wondering
if there are any code libraries out there that could generate the SQL for
me.

Basically I would have a list of column names and types. I know I could
just foreach() through the list, with a switch to divert control to the
different code segments depending on the column type, and at the end I would
have the SQL generated.

This seems like the sort of thing that somebody might have done before and
released a code snippet for. Maybe in PEAR DB? Any ideas?

Creating .xls And .doc Files With Page Breaks Using PHP / MySQL
Our company currently processes a few hundred form submissions through
our site. Up till now, the contents of the form has been sent to our
customer support staff in real-time. Each submission goes to a general
e-mail box where it's printed through our mail client. A copy of the
form is also stored in a MySQL db, although it's not used that often.

I have been asked to figure out a way to stop delivering the form
submissions in real-time and migrate to the following:

Each morning, provide an Excel spreadsheet and word document (or PDF)
with a certain number of form submissions to each customer support
rep. For example, say 200 form submissions were processed the day
before. This morning, I should split those 200 among the 5 support
reps and provide each of them a certain amount (which can change
daily). Assuming each person gets 40 form submissions, each person
would need to be given an excel file and .doc document that contains
their 40 form submissions.

One of the most important things is that the .doc file needs to have
each form submission separated by a page break, so that when they
print the document each form submission is printed on a separate page.

Finally, not all of the fields from the form submission should be
given to the support rep. Maybe date and time is left off.

Insert Into Mysql Database
It sounds very simple, but for some reason I just can't figure it out, and it will save a lots of time to me, if someone can direct me into the right direction. I was trying to input data into mysql table through post method, but it was not working. I made it simple and just tried to enter anything from a php file, but it does not work, so there is something that i am doing wrong with the insertion query.

$link = mysql_connect($hostName, $userName, $password);
echo("connected");

mysql_select_db($databaseName, $link);
echo("database selected");
echo ($databaseName);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO image VALES('','','','','','','','','', 'hello', '', '', '','','','','')", $link);

echo ("done");

I am trying to enter into one of those fields, but it does not populate the table in mysql database.

How I Setup My Mysql Database(s)...
Quick question on how I setup my mysql database(s)...

If my setup is such that I have multiple clients, and each client gets
10 tables to store their data, is it better for performance if I put all
of these tables into 1 large database (with a unique identifier
prepended to each one) or create a separate database for each client?
i.e., assuming 1000 clients, I either would have:

A) 1 database and 10,000 tables in it, 10,000 total tables

B) 1000 databases with 10 tables in each, 10,000 total tables

Intuition tells me that the multiple databases would be better for
isolating data between clients, but I am not sure if this would slow
things down.

All the info I found on this online was inconclusive and mostly was
people speculating, so I hoped you all could help more.

MySQL Database Backup
I'm looking at using PHP and MySQL for a particular website application.
However, I was a bit concerned that if a PHP script went wrong then it would
be possible to accidentally delete or overwrite large chunks of the data in

procedure for these situations?. Is it possible to back up a database
somehow so that data from a previous time can be retrieved?.
