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 Delete Record/Send Email After X Hours
What I have is a MySQL database which stores records that each have a date stamp on them (2 of them - one for record created date and one for record last updated date), what I want to do is try and have it so that records that haven't been updated in say 72 hours are automatically removed from the database, or the record is updated to set a flag as being out of date, or an email is sent to alert a user of the out of date record etc. I can easily write the script with the SQL query to check the records by the datestamp and perform the actions needed if the records are out of date, however that requires someone to physically visit that page to run the script and clean up the out dated records. What I want to try and do is have this happen automatically on its own without someone needing to actually visit the page to run the script. A good example is on eBay how emails are sent to you to let you know when your auctions are about to expire, i wouldnt imagine that eBay would rely on people visiting their website to make those queries run on the database so there must be a way of doing some automated script executio or having a scheduled task run on the server to have a PHP script run each day at midnight or something? Anyone know how to do this?

Auto Delete The Old Records But What If Server Clock Was Set Up Wrong In Maintenance?
I want auto delete any events that the event date is at least 1 day older than current date. No problem for the php programming. get the current data (server clock), check the events date and delete the old records. My problem is that for some very rare cases.

But somehow, I or the the hosting company do the server maintenance, and reset the time clock of the server, in case in the maintenace, the server time clock was set up wrong say 2005, was set up as 2006.

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? It is sort of like the "auto complete" but it's showing results that you haven't necessarily typed in. I'm looking to create a form like this that will show names from a database as you type.

Auto Creating Link From Database
I have a table in a MySQL database which is called "Points". In this table are the rows "First/Last name, Points and tutor". I call the table to a PHP file as follows: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'] ." ". $row['Tutor'] . " " . $row['Points']; echo "<br />"; } What I want to do, is there to be a link which is automatically generated for each one, directing to the "add points" page. For example addpoints.php?Firstname=Nick&Lastname=Nick&Points=3 using the _GET and _POST function. The code that would be executed in addpoints.php would be: mysql_query("UPDATE points SET Points = '$_POST[points]' WHERE FirstName = '$_POST[firstname]' AND LastName = '$_POST[lastname]'");

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.

How To Delete MySQL Database.
I've got three hostings with the GoDaddy hosting service. The hostings are supposed to provide only one MySQL database each. I've just recently noticed in the phpMyAdmin program that separate databases, each with the name "test," has appeared in two of the three hostings. I don't know how they got there. I didn't put them there. I contacted GoDaddy's technical support. They said that the "test" databases automatically comes with the phpMyAdmin program. Of course, that's not right. Anyway they said that I could delete the extra database without damaging anything.
