Deleting A Table From A MySQL Database
I've looked at the manual and a few other php resources, but yet I couldn't find a simple and easy way to delete a table using php. I noticed there is a destroy() function within the MySQL class, but I'm not sure how it's used.

Deleting Duplicate Entries From MySQL Database Table
The topic is related to MySQL database. Suppose a table "address" contains the following records ------------------------------------------------------- | name | address | phone | ------------------------------------------------------- | mr x | 8th lane | 124364 | | mr x | 6th lane | 435783 | | mrs x | 6th lane | 435783 | | mr x | 8th lane | 124364 | ------------------------------------------------------- Quote:

Putting An Array In A Mysql Database Table Field
I want to insert an array into my database but i've got a problem with it. Before i insert the array into the dbase i check if everything is in the array with print_r($array). Everything that should be in the array is in there so i insert it into the dbase. When i check my dbase with phpmyadmin the field that should contain my array has the word array in it so i assume the array is in the dbase. But when i retrieve the data from my dbase and check my array with print_r i get the following error: Warning: Argument to array_values() should be an array in.
Valid MySQL Database/table/column Name Regexp
regular expression in PHP which could be used to check that a proposed (My)SQL database/table/column name is valid, i.e. shouldn't result in an SQL error when created? The user of my (hopefully to be opensourced) program has the ability to create database/table/column names on the fly. I'm aware of obvious characters such as ., [space], things like >, etc., which won't work, but haven't been able to source a definitive list, including having googled the MySQL site. Obviously certain characters need to be filtered out, as noted above, but I want to be as unrestrictive as possible; hence just [a-z]* isn't good enough because things like _ are acceptable. Ideally, I'd prefer a regexp that applies to _all_ vendors' databases, not just MySQL as I'm about to migrate the program to being database-independent, probably using PEAR DB, but even a MySQL-specific regexp would do the job. In the longer term, I plan some sort of entity conversion script so that theoretically any character could be used, using some sort of escaping mechanism probably.

Deleting From Sql Database
I have used this script I made to delete files from a server and simultaneously remove information about the file from a database. I have uploaded the same script to a new website and it no longer works. The file does get deleted but the database line doesn't get removed.

Deleting Records From Database
I have another question about record deletion from database. For example, my database has 10 records with ids 1 through 10. If I delete id #10 then everything is good and all the records are still 1 through 9. However, if I delete record id #4, then in my db I would have records 1 through 10 with id #4 missing. Is there a command that syncs the database? How do I go about this to keep all the ids in the right order after the deletion? or What do I need to do to prevent that from happenning?

Checking If A Value Is Not In An Array And Deleting Record From Database
I have been trying to figure this one out and have come up against a brick wall although I know it should be relatively simple. I have a form that passes an array to a php script from a multiple select box that is created dynamically. If a user deselects an item then I want to delete the record from the database but am having a big problem with it. The table in the dbase is quite simple with just three fields: id classid formid Basically, the form send through a classid and a formid value and I want to delete any records that have a classid that are not in the form array and have a formid which is passed as a hidden value. I suppose really what I want is to know how to see if a classid is not in the array that is passed.
Deleting Database Rows From An Array Of Variables
I have a form with a list of checkboxes, which are each filled with a date in the format 27012007, for example. The name of each of the checkboxes is the same as the date. Basically when the user presses the submit button I would like all rows in the database table "users" with the corresponding column "date" to be deleted when the form variables date correspond to those in the "date" rows. I think all the checked dates might also need to be put into an array. Would anyone know how to do this?

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.

Deleting A MYSQL Record From Within An Html Form
Just rebuilt an admin tool in PHP (originally built in asp) for a news section of a site. The problem is: My delete records php page is set out in an html form, with each news story expressed with a checkbox. normally i'd put a <a href="delete.php?id=<? echo $row->id; ?> </a> alongside the record, but i need to have it work in a form. What action should the form have, and how do i get the form to process the deletion process with the correct news story checkbox selected?
Batch File Deleting And Folder Deleting
I have a folder in my web site where I used php to create and copy in files. but now I can't delete them easily. The only way I know how that is possible is through php. I get an error the following ftp error: 550 th: Permission denied I had the chmod() set to 0777 on every file and folder. But I still seem to loss control over the files when I try and do things with them through other means. I think it is because the user I use to access the files via ftp a diffrent user. So I tryed to add a function with chown() for the new files I was posting and uploading. It didn't work on those new files. so it looks like the only thing I can do is use the unlink() function which deletes the files fine. The only problem is now I have something like 100 sub directories all with files in them. I need to figure out a way to batch delete them. I can't find a script that goes through and finds all file contents including all sub directories and unlink those things. I found some that will use a for loop to list out the contents of a folder but it is just files. No sub directories. Any body got any ideas on which functions I should use or know where a script is that I can base mine off of. I am not sure how to approach this since what I tryed with chown and chmod has failed thus far. I currently have no code and am starting from scratch on this batch flushing of my directory.
Deleting From Database, "SQL Sytax Error"
I searched the forums and I couldn't come up with anything, so I'm sorry if this has been solved before. But my problem is that when I want to delete a comment from the database, it just says, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1". At line one I have a Session_start...and I doubt that would interfere with deleting. Here's my query: $com = $_GET['del']; if ($com != NULL && is_numeric($com)) { if ($ip == $okip) { mysql_query("DELETE FROM `comments` WHERE `id` = '".$com."' LIMIT 1 "); echo "Comment has been deleted.<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="2; URL=show.php"> "; } else { echo "You do not have permission to delete comments."; } }

Changing A Database Table
Is it possible to change a table in a database without just dropping it and recreating it. As example, I have a photo column which stores an URL, but it seems to only be accepting about 25 characters. Is there a way I can update the table without starting it over? Also, when I made the photo column I think I put, photo varchar(25), is there any reason I don't want to make it like varchar(1000), although I know that varchar only accepts 255, so what do I change varchar to?
Selecting Whole Database VS One Table
In querying a regular DB you use the following code: $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name"; Well I want to be able to do something like this: $query = "SELECT * FROM database_name"; Here is my reasoning: I have built and intranet for the company I work for. I have imported all of the data requested from an Excel Spreadsheet into the corresponding SQL tables. Now for the page I am wanting to pull off my weird select db_name code works like this: I want to be able to go there and display the Table names within that DB and when a user clicks on one of the links it will reload the page displaying the results for the corresponding Table. Make sense?

Putting Database Results In A 5x1 Table
I have a db of tens of thousands of entries. It's not too hard to pull all the entries and build a table that displays them one at a time, but in my case, that will be a huge waste of space. What I want to do is put one record in each of the columns. I thinks it's possible to do because I have seen very elaborate thumbnail gallery scripts to do this. I just want to be able to put two or three strings of text from each record into each row, and a checkbox. Here's sample of what I mean: <table width="76%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td>$record1Line1<br>$record1$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record1checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record2Line1<br>$record2$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record2checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record3Line1<br>$record3$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record4Line1<br>$record4$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record5Line1<br>$record5$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record5checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> </tr> </table> I want to pull about 200 records at a time from the db and display as described above. How can I tell php to take five records from my result set and display above, then loop through the result set until I'm done?
Table With Weekly Schedule From A Database?
I'm designing a site for a community radio station and the schedule needs to be generated from the list of programs that are in the database the shows table has the following colums show_id, show_name, day, start_time, end_time (i didn't list the non-relevant ones for this portion of the site) because a table has to be built left to right instead of top to bottom (cell for monday 8am then tuesday 8am instead of all the monday then tuesday etc) and not all the programs are the same length (i think i can use row span="x" depending on the length of the show) I'm quite lost. should i have other colums? how do i query the database to pull the data out in the proper order and build the table?
