Duplicating MySQL Table Rows
I'm not sure whether this should be posted here on in databases, but it's a question about inserting records in a MySQL table using PHP.
I have a large table with some 50+ fields with an auto-increment primary key field. When a record is edited by a user, we need to duplicate the original record, and update the fields changed by the user.
My question is, what is the easiest way to capture and duplicate the original table row? Yes, I could read the record in and then loop through the $row[] array using this as the source of all fields (except the primary key), but it strikes me that there must be a simpler method.

Navigation Through Mysql Table Rows.
I am running a query on a master detail page which results in a number of records. I call this page the master detail page. The master detail page has a number of records listed as thumbnails. Each thumbnail has a link identifier which is linked to a detail page. On the detail page I have no problem querying the specific recordset through $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'] and the additional info below.

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:

Eliminate Gap Between Table Rows?
I made my first PHP page that uses includes. http://php.didah.com/main.php But I can't get rid of a gap (about 5 pixels) between the table rows. The content of each include file is one line like this: <img src="images/nav.gif" width="100" height="600" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0"> No head or body tags. Just a 100 x 600 gif image. Here's the code for the main.php page: <html> <head> <title>First Include Page</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <table width="600px" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2"><?php include 'header.php' ?> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php include 'nav.php' ?></td> <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td>This is the content area.</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><?php include 'footer.php' ?></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> If you look at the main page in IE there is a vertical gap between the header, nav, and footer image. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
Selecting Rows From Db Table
In a project mentioned in another thread, I'm trying to get some dynamic data to work. In this discography, you can click on an album name, and the title of the album and its tracks will appear on the left. I have the beginnings worked out, like so: *** <h3><?php echo $row_rsindiv['Album']; ?></h3> <ol> <?php do { ?> <li><?php echo $row_rsindiv['Song']; ?> (<?php echo $row_rsindiv ['Time']; ?>)</li> <?php } while ($row_rsindiv = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsindiv)); ?> </ol> *** A sample of the database: *** Electronic Meditation 3 Cold Smoke 10:48 Electronic Meditation 4 Ashes to Ashes 3:58 Electronic Meditation 5 Resurrection 3:21 Alpha Centauri 6 Sunrise in the Third System 4:20 Alpha Centauri 7 Fly and Collision of Comas Sola 13:23 Alpha Centauri 8 Alpha Centauri 22:04 Zeit 9 Birth of Liquid Plejades 19:52 Zeit 10 Nebulous Dawn 17:47 *** I want to tell PHP to write the album name and list the tracks in an <li></li> based on whatever album title is clicked in the main table. The main table looks like: *** <?php do { ?> <?php $class = ($class == 'odd') ? 'even' : 'odd' ?> <tr class="<?php echo $class ?>"> <td><?php echo $row_rstdream['Album']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_rstdream['Year']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_rstdream['Era']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_rstdream['Type']; ?></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row_rstdream = mysql_fetch_assoc($rstdream)); ?> *** I thought maybe of changing the first <td></td> to: <td><a href="#" onclick="<?php $album = $row_rstdream['Album'] ?>"> <?php echo $row_rstdream['Album']; ?></td> But that's as far as I can get with my limited knowledge. Does anyone have any ideas on how to display only the rows in the second database that correspond to the name of the album clicked on? Sorry the examples are so long,

Help With Randoming Pulling Out Rows Of A Table
Suppose I'm connected to a database and I do the following: $query = "Select q_id, question From questions Order by q_id"; $result = mysql_query($query); Now, what is the best way to pull out 20 random rows from my questions table? I'm trying to set up on an online trivia page where different questions are posted each time a person visits the page and I'm pulling my list of questions out of a database. I know mysql_fetch_array fetches one row at a time and array_rand can pull elements out of an array at random, but I'm at a loss at how to coordinate these two functions together to do what I want to do.

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.
Count Rows In Table By "category"
I have a table full of articles. One of the columns is "category". I want to count how many arcticles there are for each category. I have another table that lists all the categories. I see two ways to do this, but don't know which is best or easier. One way I think would be to somehow count how many rows had the same category in just the articles table (they are entered by number). This way would be ok, but would only list categories that had articles (which in some cases I would want to do). The other way would be to query the select * from categories, and somehow join it to the articles table while counting how many articles there were for each category (even if they were zero).

My FastTemplate Is Duplicating Content
I'm having a problem with Fast Template duplicating the content. Here's the code, hoping someone may be of help, thanks! while(list($last_name)=mysql_fetch_array($data1)) { $data2 = mysql_query("select first_name from user where last_name='$last_name' "); while(list($first_name)=mysql_fetch_array($data2)) { $tpl->assign("FIRST_NAME", $first_name); $tpl->assign("LAST_NAME", $last_name); $tpl->parse(USERS, ".list"); $tpl->clear_tpl("list"); } $tpl->parse(VIEW_ALL, ".list_all"); $tpl->clear_tpl("list_all"); } now when the first "while" passes to the next last name, for example "jimenez, the second "whie" looks for users that have the last name of jimenez. now heres the problem, when it shows the result in the browser it should show nothing more than the last search, however it also shows the search before that one plus a copy of it!!! and so on, it carries on the searches!! besides it has a command that when it goes through once it clears the memory or that variable so it wont carry it on to the next with option clear_tpl, but it shows it anyways!!

Duplicating Mysql_query Result
is there a way of duplicating the same mysql_query resource result or is there a way to stop it from being cleared once it is no longer needed? I need to run a ... while(mysql_fetch_array($result)) ... loop twice and I want to avoid re-runnuing the query.
Mail() Duplicating Emails
I've got a nice email sending script that works a charm - except any email sent is sent twice, despite there only being a single call to the mail() function. It's a simple script, no loops that could have cause it to be called twice. Infact, it's a problem I'm having on two different scripts. Is there some horrible secret about mail() I should be aware of? Or does my server have a double-email complex? The actual code is: $recipient = 'contact@domain.com' $message = 'A message.' $message = wordwrap($message, 70); // Define Header $headers .= 'To: My Dear Friend <'. $recipient .'>' . ""; $headers .= 'From: My Dear Self <NOREPLY>' . ""; // Send mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); (OK, so it's not the actual code, but for all intents and purposes it is)
Creating Table Rows For Ever Other Loop In A WHILE Loop
I'm trying to create a table using a MySQL fetch array while loop that would look like this: CONTENT1 CONTENT2 CONTENT3 CONTENT4 CONTENT5 CONTENT6 I need a <TR></TR> for every other piece of content. But I don't know how to do this with a loop that uses a MySQL fetch array while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { PHP CODE THAT IS LOOPED;}; I'm trying to remember from my old college Java class that we did something with loops for whenever the counter variable was even the loop would do something special... I don't know if this is possible with a while+mysql_fetch_array loop though.
Get Rows In Mysql At Command Prompt
This question really belongs more in a mySQL group, but my NNTP server doesn't have a mySQL group available.

I searched mysql.net and can't find anything.
Sessions And Updating MySQL Rows?
I've began constructing my dynamic website with PHP and MySQL, and I've created my user table. In that table is a column called 'keystones' and it's almost how many 'credits' a user has accumulated through the visit. (Every time a user discovers a secret or finds 'keys' to open doors, they are awarded keystones.) Now I have stored all the users in a table, and I'm using sessions for login method. However, I have a problem. Since I'm using sessions, when the user logs in, it defines the session variables. Those STAY constant every time a user logs in, so if a user accumulates keystones, and it's updated in the database, the SESSION variables won't reflect the change. Since it would be a pain to tell the users to log out/login again to see the change in keystones, how would I go about making that session variable dynamic across pages? Should I 'redefine' that variable every time a user goes to another page? Would that include making a SQL query such as this: Code: SELECT keystones FROM users WHERE user_id='$_SESSION['user_id']'' at the beginning of every page?
MySql Select Unique Rows?
I am have a table which contains recent search querys of another table. I am tryng to output this data into a list so the user can click, and re-run a recent search... The problem is that the table is full of duplicate searches from the same user. How do I select the searches without retrieving duplicates? SELECT id, term FROM project_term WHERE pid='$_SESSION[project_id]' Also, would it make more sense to store all serches of a paricular user, or stop the insert if the record exists? Is there a way I can do this without performing 2 queries (ie adding some sort of LIMIT or other xeyword to the INSERT query?) I can't make the column unique because two users could perform the same search...
Updating Multiple Rows (MySQL)

I have created a php score sheet that allows graders to enter scores for different criteria. It uses a mysql database to store the information.

MySQL: Number Of Rows Question
what I want to do is find out the number of rows in a table. The most obvious solution is to do something like the following: $sql = "SELECT blah FROM blah WHERE 1"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $db); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); If you have a large table, to me that seems like it would be a system hog if all you want is the number of rows but not the data. I'm not sure if using mysql_unbuffered_query() would solve this, would it? Basically my question is this: what is the fastest, most effecient way to just find out the number of rows in a table?
