Displaying Database Information In Columns
I have a database with products in and I want iT to automatically show every product on the page. Now I am able to do this easy enough but what I am struggling to do is that I want the products to be displayed in 3 columns.

Previous And Next Links And Displaying Database Information
I would like to display a listing of files on a web page as follows: If there is only one file: display the section name and then display the current file. If there is more than one file (for the first page): display the section name, the current file and a few archive files. If there is more than a page full (for each additional page): display the section name, and the next set of archive files. This is the code I have been working with (it's a bit ugly, suggestions are welcome). For some reason the second page of listings skips the first item. 1st page lists items 0 through 4, second page skips item 5 and starts displaying item 6. function display_table($sec_id, $num_item){ GLOBAL $link; $updir = "../uploads/"; //maybe this should be a GLOBAL variable??? if (isset($_GET['start'])){$start = $_GET['start'];}else{$start = 0;} //GLOBAL $start; //query DB $query_total = "SELECT file_id FROM files WHERE file_section_id =" . $sec_id ; $query = "SELECT file_id, file_meeting_date, file_meeting_time, file_title, file_modified, file_section_id, sec_name, sec_id, sec_disp_archive FROM files f, section s WHERE f.file_section_id =" . $sec_id . " AND f.file_section_id = s.sec_id ORDER BY file_modified DESC LIMIT " . $start . "," . $num_item; $result = mysqli_query( $link, $query ) or die(mysqli_error($link)); $result_total = mysqli_query( $link, $query_total ) or die(mysqli_error($link)); $num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result_total); //print $query; //create hyperlinks and display table //display current file /* print "START: " . $start . "NUMBER: " .$num_item . " ROWS: " . $num_rows;*/ /*$obj = mysqli_fetch_object($result);*/ if ($num_rows > 1){ //Display current and archive files //only display current table if start is not set (not on page 1) $obj = mysqli_fetch_object($result);//Call DB $content = "<div id ='MainContent'><p><b>" . $obj->sec_name . "</b></p><table width=ï`%' border=Ƈ'>"; if (!isset($_GET['start'])||$_GET['start']==0){ //for 1st item display file info $content.= "<tr><td colspan=Ɖ' align='center'>Current</td></tr>"; $content.= "<tr bgcolor='#CCCCCC'><td width=ཝ%'>Meeting Date</td><td width=ཝ%'>Meeting Time</td><td width=ཞ%'>File</td></tr>"; $content .= "<tr><td>" . date("F jS, Y",strtotime($obj->file_meeting_date)) .

Can A Field Communicate To A Server And Return Information To Another Field Without Retrieving The Whole Html Code Again?
I´ve got a sql table which has 3 fields. Their relation to each other is like this example. | CARS | YEAR | PRICE | ford 2000 ford 2001 ford 2003 volkswagen 1999 volkswagen 2000 I am developing an ASP web page that modifies a specific registry. So, it loads the information to some fields, but the user will be able to change only the "PRICE" field. I have to create two selects, one for "CARS" and other for "YEAR". But the "YEAR" field will only contain the correspondent years for each car the user selects. Example: selecting "ford" in the "CARS" <select> box, only the years "2000", "2001", "2003" would be automatically loaded in the "YEAR" <selec> box. How could i implement it?

Displaying Information In A 1 Row/2 Column Table
I'm very new to php scripting and haven't quite figured out what I need to do here. I need to display information in a 1 row/2 column table. I have the MySQL query working fine, but the scripting part in php is killing me! In the first column a graphic about 70x70 will be shown (plus some additional padding). In the second column will be the description information. The second column will be around 400 pixels wide. How do I set this up in php? It's easy enough in HTML, but I've about killed myself trying to figure out how to properly lay this out in php!
Selecting And Displaying Information From 2 Tables
I have 3 tables in my database: The client table holds the client name, address, city, state, zip, sub_category and category (and a few other fields but that is not important). In the sub_category and category fields in the client table are just numbers which match the id numbers in the other 2 tables. the category table holds the id number and title the sub_category table holds the id number, title and category (which is just a number that matches the id number in the category table. Hopefully that all makes sense. Now what the problem I have run into is I have a table on my page that loads all businesses for a category. So if a user clicks on the Dining button on the home page a list of all restaurants will display in my table. Well I want the table to show the sub_category the business belongs to, however the field in the client table is just a number. How do I get it to show the text (title) of that sub_category? Code:

Fetching Field Information From Oracle Db
as I am trying to write a recordset class, I am interested in fetching field information from an oracle db. Several information on the fields are very simple to request. So I already receive the field properties name, max_length, type not_null, has_default and defaul_value. This is achieved by using functions like oci_field_name(). But I am not able to request the information on if the field is primary key or marked as unique key. Is there a way to fetch the properties unique and primary key?
Sending/displaying POST Information Without Using Forms
What I need to do is build onto an existing login form, using POST forms. I would like to have to have to access the existing code, so what I ultimately have to do is write a PHP script that will spoof a form POST. I have found 2-3 different examples, however none of these will send the post, and then go to that page. All that these scripts do is send the post, and keep you on the existing page. The return from the form cannot be displayed in the page with the script on it because of licensing issues. So the script needs to send the POST information to that page, just as a regular form.
Displaying Select Information From XML Search Results
I am new to both php and xml. I have a school assignment to update an existing php-based website where I have to display search results from an online library. I can use a url search which returns an XML file that includes tags such as position, title, url, description, date, etc. I only want to display the title, url (preferably the title should be a link to the url), and description for all of the results on my website's search results (different template as well). What classes/functions are available to help me do this? I would appreciate any guidance as well as links to online tutorials etc. that would point me in the right direction. I have read about the general aspects of php, and I have experience with Java and C; but I don't know about xml at all. By the way, the website is running on the school server and has php version 4. I don't think I'll be able to install php 5 but I can probably upload some helper files or something.

Displaying Text From MySQL
I am working on a very simple news page for a website. I've setup a simple form that writes news to my database and the data is then displayed on my news page. I have gotten everything to work successfully but the content in the article loses all its paragraph formatting when I try to display it. I can use break tags to make the formatting show up but there has to be an easier way. This is the code I am using now, which I found on a tutorial somewhere and then tried to modify to work for my site: Code:

I'm dealing with a very tricky problem and can't seem to find the answer with google. the problem is: i want to store huge data (binaries) inside a mysql databases blob - to later store those data to a file somewhere else (from where i can connect the database). problem comes into play, when I try to output a "progress" of the reading of this data (kind of "xx bytes of XXX bytes already transmitted").

Displaying Text Pulled From A MySQL DB
I have a web edit, delete and update script set up. its all working pretty much as i need except for one thing, the editing function. When an admin clicks edit beside an entry that page is resubmitted using $PHP_SELF and a variable is set. A check is then carried out in each form field to see if this variable is set, if it is set then a query is carried out and it enters the value of the query result for a table field as the value for the form field. You can see this in the code below. My problem is this: when the values of the DB are echoes out into the form fields they dont display correctly or they just display the first word until they reach the first space and then nothing else. PHP Code:
Displaying Text With Include File.

is it possible that message from web POP mail ( through sockets) appears as html (or text) if it is sent as html, not to appear like source file of the html document?

Text File Displaying On Screen
I have a file that downloaded a CSV file for the user based upon some information gathered from the Database. My file was working fine until recently (I believe that my hosting company did something when they upgraded to PHP5). Everytime a user tries to download the file, it displays the contents on the screen. Here is what I have for my file handling. Am I missing anything obvious? when called, $filecontent is displayed to the screen... $downloadfile=$shownic."AttendeeRoster".time().".csv"; header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$downloadfile"); header("Content-type: text/css; charset=UTF-8"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".strlen($filecontent)); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); echo $filecontent;

i'm trying to display text while a page is loading using a method similar to the following: <? ob_end_flush(); echo 'AAA<br>' flush(); sleep(10); echo 'BBB' ?> in this script, AAA and BBB appear at the same time - when the page has fully loaded - which is not what i want (i want AAA to appear and then 10 seconds later, BBB to appear). pursuant to the suggestions on php.net's entry for flush, i've also tried the following to no avail: <? echo 'AAA<br>' ob_flush(); flush(); sleep(10); echo 'BBB' ?>
Validate Text Field
This is very simple in javascript but I can't seem to find the exact solution in php. I have searched the forum but couldn't find my exact example. I have "page1.php" with a <form> that includes one text field and a submit button. Once submitted the data in the text field would be entered into the DB. I want to make sure that before the <form> is submitted that there has been some data entered into the text field. I have seen the function --- empty() and I have also seen if (!$textfieldName) all coupled with <? PHP_SELF ?> in the action field of the <form> but it just doesn't seem to work for me. I think that it doesn't work because the page that I am entering data in the text field is also inserting data to the DB from a previous page and the <? PHP_SELF ?> is conflicting with this----(Just speculating).....I don't know I am kinda stumped.

Displaying Text Fields On User Input
How would I echo a particular amount of text fields depending on how many the user selects from a drop down menu that I have already created. For example say the user selects 4 or whatever other number from a drop down menu how would I echo 4 or whatever the amount of text fields for a user to input text into? An example would be an airline website were you select how many people are travelling and then it echo fields for those people to enter their names.
Validating TEXT Field Entires
Because I have several TEXT fields in my MySQL database, I need to know how to validate that only alphanumeric characters have been entered -- as this data will be echoed back to the user upon completion of the form. Therefore, I need to prevent any malicious text from being entered into the form (SSIs, HTML formatting, etc.) Is there any way to do this? So far, I've only been referred to addslashes(). I've managed to use the following function: function validate_text($text) { $text = addslashes($text); return ($text); } $input_text = validate_text($input text); But this only escapes single and double quotes with the slash. URLs, SSI statements, etc. remain untouched.
TEXT Or BLOB Field Problems
When I use a form and php to input long articles (in a TEXT field) into a mysql table, the code runs smoothly (i get a thank you message). However, the record isnt always put into the table. If I input only the varchar fields into the form, then it works. But if I also try to append the TEXT field then it doesn't work from a web form. It works sometimes but not all fo the time. Why does this only work sometimes, do i have to do something witht he code? change the database?
Form Text Field Validation
