Dynamically Create New Web Page
i'm making a cms, and I have a good portion done, I have it set up where the admin can log in and create a new post which goes to the database.

Dynamically Create And Save Php Page
Here is my code:
$filepointer=fopen("http://www.mysite.org/usersetup/newusers/" . $SESSION_UID . "/configsite.php", "w+");

$data = "<? $name = ' . $datatosave. '
?>";

fputs($filepointer, $data);

fclose($filepointer);

My goal is to dynamically create a .php file with the contents of
<? $name = "variable data"; ?>

My code doesn't work. Something with the php page, I think. I and using similar code to populate .txt files with dynamic data, without variables, and it works file. Apparently, a quick change to .php is harder than I thought. I"ve even tried sending a simple line of data to the php page with no luck. Heck, I even tried doing it as a text file and rename to .php but it didn't like my rename.

How To Create Many Pages Dynamically From A Template?
Is there a way to create many pages dynamically... say using a template? I've over 110 html pages with the same format and I'm sick and tired of creating new pages, updating old ones, with content and links. I've access to linux and unix, php, perl, and java...

Dynamically Create Every Combination Of Words Possible
I'm trying to write a function that will begin by splitting a sentence up into an array that contains one value per word in the sentence. It should continue by creating new sentence fragments: one sentence fragment for every combination and permutation of those words. For example, if I have a sentence "I love bees," I need the function to output the following.. Code:

PHP To Dynamically Create The JavaScript Arrays

Create Multidimensional Array Dynamically
I'm already trying for some days to create an array dynamically. I have the following situation:

I have an array of strings.

$data["base:foo:bar"] = "test1";
$data["base:foo2:bar"] = "test2";
$data["base:foo2:bar2"] = "test3";
$data["base:foo:bar2"] = "test4";

This array should be converted in a multidimensional array. The keys for this array are the above keys separated by colons. The dimension of the array varies form situation to situation. Code:

Dynamically Create And Access Variables?
I am trying to dynamically create new variables, and add values to those variables. In Flash, I would do so like this:

var this["happy" + i]:String = "I am so happy.";
}

trace(happy1); //shows "I am so happy." in the output window.
trace(happy5); //shows "I am so happy." in the output window.

How would I do this in php?

Dynamically Create A Table's Columns
What I'd like to do, is take the selected rows from my database, generate columns dynamically to reflect the "size" column, and then dump the data respectively into the table that is generated. Here's what I've got so far:
Using this database:

What I've done is given each row/column a designation by assigning a X,Y value (tag_no, size). I created an array that uses a key in the same X,Y format. I loop through the rows to dump the array value that corresponds to the key.

The data doens't display correctly if I there are multiple tag_no's that have the same sizes, with different quantities. Code:

Dynamically Generated Results Table
I'm trying to write a script that dynamically generates HTML tables depending on the results from an SQL query. So far, I have managed to set the HTML table headers to be the same as those in the MySQL table. [thanks to rod k -cheers !]

Now i'm trying to put the results in the table. Basically, I need a MySQL function to retrieve data and put it into the table until there is no data left....

(At the moment I am using "mysql_fetch_array()", but with this it is necessary to know the names of the columns to retrieve the information for each result set. Since my table is dynamic and should be able to build itself from different MySQL tables, the column names aren't fixed and so i can't use this to put the data in the tables...)

Parse CSV Headers & Dynamically Generate SQL Table?
I have a collection of CSV datasets which will all contain different
numbers of columns and different column headers. There will always be
a fixed number of such files and they have some common
characteristics, especially those with column names in common (e.g.,
at some point I will be performing some database joins based upon
similar column names).

Initially I would like to parse each CSV file and automatically create
a mySQL table containing fields corresponding to the CSV file headers.

In some subsequent web page(s) I will be performing some boolean
queries against this mySQL database, and will need to query the field
names on the fly so that I can create suitable drop-down lists for the
user to formulate her query.

I'm really a Perl programmer, but have a feeling that this will be
much easier in PHP.

Multi Table Insert Delete Select Function Needed.
I am going nuts here and I know with all the functions out there, there must be an easier way to do this. Maybe someone can point me to the right tutorial or even show me how to do this.

I have a $main_id and many $sub_id tables and like to “SELECT to view” INSERT and DELETE those. UPDATE must not be but would be nice.
Here is how it looks:

How Many Rows In A Table

New Table Rows
I retrieve 20 items from a MySQL database. I want to display the output in a table. How can I display 5 items on a table row and then begin an new row?

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,

Copying Rows To Another Table

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.

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);

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.

Selecting Random Rows In A Table.
How can i randomly select rows? say for example i have 50 users, 3 of them were online. I only want the 3 online, BUT i want then to be randomly choose. So that everytime i go to the page, it is a different person. Im assuming MySQL numrows has something to do with it but im not quite sure.

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:

CREATE Table With PHP Script
I'm trying to write a PHP script that will create tables, so I'm working of a test script at the moment and I've been trying to use some code from a phpBB script to do this as while mysql has a nice mysql_create_db function they have no create_table function, not that I can find anyway.
I can't find a similar problem from searching here either :-(

The code I'm using is below...

<?php
include ("../cgi-bin/connect.inc");
$tables = array ("test" => "CREATE TABLE test (
testing varchar(20),
)");
$result = mysql_query($tables);
if ($result) {echo "YEY";}
else {
echo("<P>Error: " .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit(); }
?>

and it returns this...

Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'Array' at line 1

Something simpler such as

<?php
include ("../cgi-bin/connect.inc");
CREATE TABLE test (
country varchar(40) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE country (country)
);
?>

just gives an error on the 3rd line

If anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to create tables with PHP scripts, which I know must be possible as phpBB manages fine.

CREATE TABLE Problem
I have a problem creating mySQL tables with PHP. I am making an app
where a user can create a project. Pressing "submit" on proj_form.php
goes to proj_add.php where a couple of things happen. The project's
meta information is put into a project table, mysql_insert_id() gets
the $proj_ID, and a table named that $proj_ID is created to hold all
of that project's tasks. Here is my code to create the table for a
project's tasks:

// 2) Create a table for the tasks of the new project
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $proj_ID (
task_ID int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
task varchar(40),
person varchar(10),
notes varchar(255),
PRIMARY KEY (`task_ID`))";

Here is the error message that creates:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' ( task_ID int unsigned NOT
NULL auto_increment, task' at line 1

It has to do with trying to create a table named $proj_ID. How do I
get that to work?
