How Do I Delete Selected Rows From MySQL Table?
I am trying to figure out how to delete selected rows from a MySQL database table. The web site that I am working on has a page that will extract rows, using the "SELECT * FROM .. etc." statement from a database and output them in a table - like the one below (bottom part). I've got that part figured out.

What I am trying to figure out is if the user puts a checkmark in one of the checkboxes (below) how would I write the PHP code to delete one or two of the rows from the MySQL table? PHP Code:

How To Delete A MySQL Database Table Without System()

Dynamic List Populated By MySQL Table
I am building my first php page and I've ran into problems trying to create a dynamic drop down list for an INSERT page. My page is based on this example from mysql.com.

I want to populate the list from a table in MySQL, but when I test the page the list only contains the first record. If anyone can help me out, or recommend an easy way to create dynamic menus/lists, I will be very grateful.

This code appears above the FORM ACTION:

$NearMajorCity = mysql_query("SELECT NearMajorCity_ID, NearMajorCity FROM NearMajorCity");

This code is within the FORM:

<SELECT NAME="NearMajorCity" SIZE=1>
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="">Select One
<OPTION VALUE="">---------
<?php
while ($NearMajorCity = mysql_fetch_array($NearMajorCity)) {
$NearMajorCity_ID = $NearMajorCity["NearMajorCity_ID"];
$NearMajorCity = $NearMajorCity["NearMajorCity"];
echo("<OPTION VALUE='$NearMajorCity_ID'>$NearMajorCity
");
}
?>
</SELECT>

I want to be able to view the names of the Major Cities in the list, but I want the NearMajorCity_ID inserted into the table.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = &#391;') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

Multi Table Insert Delete Select Function Needed.

Listing Table Data With An Option To Delete Each Individual Item.
Was wondering if anyone could help me with a PHP, MySQL problem. I am
completely new to PHP and MySQL. I have been trying to find a way to
list data from a table on a web page and after each individual item
have a hyperlink to allow users to delete the information listed. Can
anyone help?

i.e.
Name Age Sex
------------------------------------------
Adam 21 M delete
Betty 22 F delete
Chris 23 M delete
Daisy 24 F delete

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(delete after 'Sex' would be the hyperlink to delete that entire line
(row) from the table).

How Do You Insert A Value From Drop Down List To SQL Table?
I am a bit new to PHP and SQL so this may seem like a dumb question.

I have already created a drop down list as part of a form which is
automatically populated with values taken from a separate database. When a
user goes onto this page and either leaves the default value or selects a
value from the drop down list and presses the submit button, I would like
that selected value to be stored into a database which I have already
created in SQL.

Just to let you know that I can do the above using a text field but just
don't know how to do it with drop down list.

If your going to explain any coding then it may help if I give you the names
of certain items that are involved.

Database is called "Company"
Field within database is called "Name"

Displaying Table Field List
I got a function that displays a list of the fields in a certain mysql table.  I got it off of this site.  The problem is that it only displays the word Array and I'm not sure why.  This is the code for the function: Code:

Textfile Search
I am a COMPLETE NEWBIE where PHP is concerned and this is the first scripted language that I have tried. I am trying to learn some basic PHP so that I can write some more complex web pages for my small web server and I am totally & utterly lost. I thought that I would start out with what I thought was going to be a very simple problem & I can not even seem to get past the first step.

What I would like to do is have a web page where I can enter 1 or 2 key words into a input and then use the entered word(s) to search through a textfile that I already have, line by line and simply print out each line to the webpage that it finds a string match for the entered word(s). If 2 words are used, I would like it to match both to be a match.

I KNOW this should be a simple problem with PHP, but frankly I am beating my head against a wall. Is there anyone out there that could kindly point me in the direction of how to even start to do this?

List Db Results Vertically In 2-column Table

Insert A Line Into A Textfile
is it generally possible to search a text/html file for a specific pattern and then insert a new line with some html code bleow that line? e.g. Search the file for the line: "<option selected value="nix">Please choose</option>" and then insert a line like: "<option value="172.22.1.254">-172.22.1.254-</option>" after the above line into the file. Is something like that possible?

Pulling Data From A Textfile
I have text file with three variables on each line, seperated by pipes. I read the file into an array, now I can't seem to figure out how to get each variable back out.

Where Does A Textfile Store The <enter> Keystroke
In notepad I created a text which I want to include in a html page. (say mytext.txt).

Somehow the <enter> keys (newline) don't show in the html version, of course because there is no <br>.

Yet when I open the textfile in a textfieldbox, like the one where I type this message, the enters do show up, so it must somehow store those <enter> keys somewhere.

Is there a way to replace these 'hidden' <enter> keys with <br> ?

Writing To Textfile In Windows Problems
I'm trying to make a linux php thingie that I did work on windows. It works like a charm in linux. Here is the latest problem: I am writing lines to a textfile. In linux, the lines work out fine, but in windows, when viewed by an editor, all the lines are on one line, separated by a strange character. Instead of:

Line1
Line2
...

I get: Line1[strangebox]Line2[strangebox]...
Here is what I am using to output the lines: fputs ($fp, "sv_allowDownload 0 "); I know there is a linefeed/CR difference between linux and windows, but not the specifics.

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.

Grab Content From HTML Table And Place Into MySQL Table?

Mysql Fetch_field Gets Table Alias, Not Real Table Name

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.

Delete MySql Row By Date
Can someone help me with the following problem:

I have a table that includes a column for "last application date", let's simply call it "date".

Now the problem is how to automatically delete rows where the information in the "date" column has gone old, let's say by -86400 (1 day).

Example: today's date is April 11th, which means that all rows with the info April 10th in the date column would get deleted.

MySQL - Delete Across Two Tables. OT
i cant find the MySQL newsgroup, however i am
hoping to pick up on some expert advice from php/mysql gurus here. I'm
having some trouble performing a delete across two tables.

The tables i have are:

questionnaires (id, name);

questionnaire_questions (questionnaires_id, id, name, qf_type)

The questionnaire_questions table contains a list of questions for a
specific questionnaire (indicated by the questonnaires_id). I would
like to remove a questionnaire, and when doing so all corresponding
questionnaire_questions who have matching id's (questionnaires.id =
questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id).

I have this statement, however it only works if a questionnaire has
questions... however i would like it to delete even if no questions
exist for that specific questionnaire. The SQL i am using is:

delete questionnaires, questionnaire_questions FROM questionnaires,
questionnaire_questions WHERE questionnaires.id =
questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id AND questionnaires.id =
THE_QUESTIONAIRE_TO_DELETE_ID

DELETE Problem With MySQL
I've been learning using PHP and MySQL from the tutorial at
freewebmasterhelp.com. Everything works fine, except deleting things.
The script is invoked with a URL like this:

http://www.example.org/test/delete_entry.php?id=35

And here's the script:

<?
include("dbinfo.inc.php");

$id = $_POST['id'];
mysql_connect($server, $user, $password);
$query = "DELETE FROM test1 WHERE id = '$id'";
@mysql_select_db($database) or die("Unable to select database.");
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();

header("Location: entries.php");
?>

The dbinfo.inc.php file defines the variables $server, $database, $user
and $password. The login part works.

Mysql Delete From A Form
i'm trying to find out how to get this to work. You type in a name of a record in the database and it removes it. In this case it's deleting the record that when you type in the name of the server it looks for it in the column "servername". You type in the servername and it will delete the whole record. Code:

MySQL MultiTable Delete...
I've been able to delete rows from one table successfully but what I want to try next is giving me some problems. I have a users 'id' which is unique. Heres what I want to-do.

DELETE * FROM users WHERE id = 1
DELETE * FROM messages WHERE from = 1
DELETE * FROM comments WHERE user = 1

In each table there oginizaed a little different hense the id , from & user... but thats what I want to-do, without having to-do them all sepreatly, would like it to be efficent. the users ID will be passed along as the var 'id' any thoughts? So pretty much it takes the users id number and deletes them from each table.

How To Delete Only Certain Text In A Mysql Row?
I have a table setup that has a column setup as friends and users can add friends to this column no problem.

What I would like to know is how to delete only certain parts of the text of the row/cell where their friends are stored.

The friends text is seperated by the following :

" , "

That is a space on either side and comma in the middle of the space.

I know how to explode the results and put into an array to display the reuslts, but is there a way to delete only one of the friends if the text is as follows.

 , thomas , frank , irene ,

I think you can get the idea.

Is it possible to do this or should I just update the whole cell without the array[$i] result being the friend?

Mysql Row And File Delete
I have a database with the following colums, imageID, imageName, imageDesc, imageFile, imageHeight, imageWidth, imageThumb, imageThumbHeight, and imageThumb Width.

Php/mysql Insert, Update, Delete All-in-one
I have a check box form in an admin area, that links various related tables into one.

These check box results are stored in an array, and then looped, there are in fact four groups of arrays, but the array length could become large (i.e. dozens - not hundreds)

The issue I have is that from the one form multiple things need to occur.

- If a box is checked and the record doesn't exist a new record needs to be inserted.
- If a box is checked and the record does exist, it should be ignored (as it already exists).
- If the box is unchecked and the record exists, it should be deleted.
- If the box is unchecked and the record doesn't exist it should be ignored (the record doesn't exists).

I'm looking for the logic and process (rather than being hand fed code ) Can this be done with 1 (or more likely 2) sql statements. Or do I have to loop thru the arrays, checking the existance and then applying a specific sql statement depending upon checked status and the records existance. Someone mentioned using IF() in the sql statement, but I am not familiar with that one.

Delete Row From Mysql Only Deletes The Contents?
mysql_query("DELETE FROM cart WHERE ItemId=$ItemId");

There is the code but the result in my databse is that the ID number changes
from, lets say, 77 to 78 with 78's contents being empty. Therefore when I
look at the results - the deleted ID77 is gone but now I have ID78 with no
content!

Does anyone know why and how do I make it stop?

MySQL DELETE: How To Get Page To Refresh?
I have a script that deletes records in a table. It works fine. However, it redirects the browser back to the page and the record stills shows there. Only after the page is manually refreshed does it disappear.

I've used both header("Refresh...") and header("Location...") to accomplish the redriect, but no dice. The only thing that seems to work is if a unique URL is pushed into the address bar, which I do by appending md5(microtime()) to the end of the redirect URL.

2 Drop Down List Using MYSQL
I have a model table with the following fields: MODEL_ID, MAKE_ID, NAME.
And a make table with the following fields:
MAKE_ID, NAME.

The first drop down list (make) to select a make of a car i.e. Chevrolet, Ford. When a make is selected, then all the model for that paticular make appear in the second drop down list.

PHP And MYSQL Drop Down List
I need a script to create a drop down list which has vehicle makes. The vehicle make list should feed a vehicle model list so when I select a make all the models for the make appear in the model list. I have a make table which has MAKE_ID, make NAME and a model table which has MODEL_ID, MAKE_ID and model NAME.

I tried using a script using javascript array but wherever I have a query that pulls the NAME from the database there's always a carriage return after the NAME which messes up the javascript array. I'd rather do it all with PHP if possible. If not please give me one that works and I don't have to spend hours troubleshooting.

Mailing List Using MySQL / PHP
I have written a database which uses PHP to run through each ID in the
database and then generate a persons name and address to include into the
rest of the PHP to send an email out.

But as people have deleted or updated their details on this mailing list, I
now have "holes" in database. Ordinarily not a problem, but the code I've
written starts at ID 1 and after sending an email increments to the next
ID. But when it encounters a now vacant ID, it sends an error email to me
associated with that now blank ID row of data.

How can I change my code that will increment through all the results in
turn, but not give me these error emails when people have amended the
database?

Mysql Field List
We would like to be able to  get the column list of a mysql Table from PHP code.  I know from the mysql prompt we can get it, but we want to  generate PHP  code
that  will retun an array  of columns  If   there is a column descriptor containing
name, size, etc, that would be great. Something that I could loop thropugh an array in
PHP4 and   get  the names of all the columns in the table as well as perhaps
other column  parameters as well. I believe that can be done in CGI, but want to use
PHP4.
