Database Auto Count What About Delete?
I have a table that give a unique ID to certain Articles.
To give the ID i simply use the Auto count of the DB.
But what happens when i delete a record? i am now missing an ID.
How can i insert a row and give it the first available number?
For example ID 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
i would Insert and set the ID number to 3.

Count Vs DELETE Speed
When checking for duplicates between tables, is it quicker to check first, if the match exists in the table through a SELECT and then check the value of mysql_num_rows. So, if mysql_num_rows > 0 then DELETE the record. OR is it quicker to directly attempt a DELETE without checking if the match exists..
Auto Delete Date Based Calendar Events
Out of both wanting to improve my PHP skills and necessity, I created my own small CMS for a non-profit site I am involved with. One of the features I have is an event calendar where other users can submit events, which then go into a "holding tank" until I can approve or deleted them. It's working great and everyone is loving it... but I have discovered one issue. When the date of the event passes, I have to log into the admin area and manually remove it. I am actually not deleting it from the database but changing a field variable and archiving it for our records. I have been trying the past few days to come up with the necessary PHP to automatically check the current date (today's date) against all the calendar events and remove ones that have already happened. I could then hook this up to a CHRON action in my hosting CPanel and call it a day - at least that is how it all plays out in my head. I imagine in order to point me in the right direction you will need some information about my database.

Auto Complete From Database
Does anyone know of a script or know of a way to create a form, like you see when you search on Yahoo or Google that will predict your search result as you type and show the values listed below the form?

I just wondered if someone could clarify...

I ask because PHP manual says yes, but I've seen some comments relating to PHP 4 saying it doesn't.
Count Of How Many Items Are In Database

Delete From Database
I have code that does not delete from a database. The same code (cut an paste in the same file, but different function and having a different query) works. So, of course, I tested the query interactively. I echoed the query and did a cut and paste when interactively connect to the database. That one worked so it isn't the query since interactively it is seeing exactly the same thing as the code produces. Here is the code: function deleteCatalog($catalog) { $query = "DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='" . $catalog . "'"; mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']); $result = mssql_query($query, $Login); ... } The $query echos: DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='CMP' As an example of code that works (in the same file) function addToCatalog($cat_id, $cat_name) { $query = "INSERT INTO CatalogNames (sCatalogID, sCatalogName) " . "VALUES ('" . $cat_id . "', '" . $cat_name . "')"; mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']); $result = mssql_query($query, $_SESSION['Login']); ... } The second and third lines are identical (cut and pasted) as in other places in the same code. In fact, it is only in this file that I do all the database work. Every other function works. This is the only delete, however.
Recursive Database Delete
I have two tables in my database, one for the folders, where each folder has a parent id and an id itself, and one for the files where each file has a parent id for the folder its in.

How To Delete All Database Entires Older Than 30 Days?
One of the fields in my database is called ad_date which is of date type and stored dates int he format YYYY-MM-DD. I would like to perform a DELETE SQL statement in my PHP script which deletes all records with an ad_date value older than 30 days. I knoy this is also an SQL question, but it is the 'older than 30 days' part which I'm stuck with and so figured it would be better in the PHP forum as I think I need to use PHP to calculate todays date - 30 days.
Simplify Insert-update-delete From Database
I'm looking for some functions or objects allowing to select-insert-update-delete from any table in a mysql database without the need to create a new query every time. Example: selectdatas(array('field1','field2','fieldn'),arra y('table1','tablen'),array('left join,idy','inner join, idx')) then the function build the query, execute it and then return an object with the query result. I must build a database driven site that is 90% of the time spent on building queries. If I may avoid build them manually it will help me a lot and let me gain some days of programming.

Auto Increment By More Than 1
I have a table that I want to automatically generate an account number.

What Will The Next Auto Increment Be?
I have a MYSQL table with a field that auto increments 'ID'. I need to know what the next ID will be. Is there a simple way to do this? One solution I've thought of is to query all the records and sort it by ID, and then just take the last record +1. But that seems awfully inefficient. Does anybody have any other suggestions or know of any functions that will do this?

Auto Increment
how when you have an auto-incremented mysql list? And you know how when you delete an entry, the entry's auto-increment value just gets dropped and skipped? What I need to know is if there is a way to sort of re-number the list, preferably using a Query, such as an ALTER command or something. Code:

Auto Linebreaks?
Is there a certain way to 'auto-magically' add line breaks when enter is pressed? That way, you don't need to say something like.. This is a message.<br /><br /> Messages are fun! Normally, if you type... This is a message. Messages are fun! It would turn out like this. This is a message. Messages are fun!
Auto Drop Down Box
I need to create an auto drop down box. For example I already have a list of states that are pulled from the database. When the user selects a state, a drop down box below should populate with the cities from that state. (that's where I'm having trouble) This is a search form so the results have to reflect what city and state they chose. (along with some other criteria) I've searched all evening for instructions on how to do this and so far I've only seen javascript that you put directly in the code. If I have all 50 states along with their related cities that's an awful lot of code to put in the page. Isn't there a way to automatically pull the cities from the database to populate the box when the user clicks a state? I have no idea where to start to make that work.
Getting Last Id Of The Auto-increment Key
I have two tables and I need to get the last id of the primary key in one of the tables. I did some searching and found a solution that works. $sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO (table) (column) VALUES ('test')") or die (mysql_error()); $insert_id=mysql_insert_id(); $num = $insert_id + 1; //need to increase the last id by one to match new entry in other table This works well. The downside is in order for this to work an actual value is filed into a new row of (table) after the last id found in (column) thus giving me a blank row. While this isn't too bad, I could imagine I'll end up with a bunch of empty rows in my table. Is there a way to prevent this from happening -- i.e., a bunch of empty rows?
Auto Run Scripts
This is probably a real simple thing to do but I have never done it before! I have an apache server on my server (XAMPP) running PHP and I want to be able to programme it to run a php script at certain times. Is this a server or PHP task and how would it be done?
Getting An Auto-increment Id?
When someone creates a topic, the following is executed: $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`topics` (`topic_name`, `topic_desc`, `poster`, `forumid`) VALUES ('". $posttitle ."', '". $desc ."', '". $sessionu ."', '". $forum ."');"); This inserts the topic into the topic table. However, then this is executed: $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`posts` (`poster`, `post`, `topicid`) VALUES ('". $sessionu ."', '". $fp ."' '". $id ."');"); This is meant to insert a post into the posts table that starts the topic. However, this is a problem. The problem is, that $id hasn't been defined. My question is this, really: How do I get $id? Basically, I've got to find a way of getting an auto_increment value from a database. Anyone any ideas?
Auto Linking

How Can I Auto-save The .pdf?
i've gotten used to using the ezPDF class to create and stream a pdf. Now i've encountered a project where I want the created pdf to be emailed rather than streamed to the browser. I'm comfortable enough with phpmailer to send the file if I can only figure out how to save the PDF. The documentation for the ezPDF class mentions a function called ezOutput... but that seems to do the same thing as ezStream.

Get Last Auto-increment Number
I am inserting related data into 2 tables. The first table I insert into has an auto-incremented field. The second table i insert into has a field which needs to hold the same number as the number in the auto-increment field from the first table. I cannot auto-increment the field in the second table because the number will occur more than once in the second table. How can I retrieve this auto-incremented number from the first table?

Pause An Auto-refresh?
I have a couple of php scripts running that allow users on line to enter brief lines of text, chat style. When they are posting a line of text and an auto-refresh command is executed, Internet Explorer users lose the line they were in the middle of typing. I was researching how to stop the auto-refresh if the form post box was in use and found some reference to a "pause button" that can be placed on the user side as HTML. Anyone know about this?
Auto-increment Field
I have query which returns the value of a auto-increment field last entered. That is: $sqlquery = "SELECT MAX(field-id) from table"; $result = mysql_query($sqlquery); The query itself seams to work fine alone, but when I run it in a php script and try to print $result it returns "Resource id #6" . No idea what this is or where it came from.
Auto-Increment And Deleting

MySQL Auto Increment
I have a site that is about to go into production and it has a couple of tables that it uses that could get quite large once in full swing, most of them have a column called "id" and it auto increments every time a new row is added. When setting this up, what do you recommend using at the column type and size. atm I have gone for a big-int with the size of 20. I wonder over time will 20 be enough... Should I just think of a big number and use it? Anyone else in this situation and what would you do?
