PHP :: Finding Matches In A Table And Then Moving That Match To Another Table?

Find Match In MySQL Table
I have a table with several fields (id, company, city, and others). What I think I want to do is to select all the records (ordering by company asc for display purposes) and loop through them to find the requested id, BUT then I need to know the current row that match occurs in the overall list.

If I am not mistaken, if I do the match on the 'id' in the table with the id requested, then only that one row will be selected. So then for getting the prev/next links to work off the 'ordered by company asc' order and not just the 'id' sort, I need to know where this particular id matched row is in the overall list.

Finding Next Index In Table.
function add_league () {
$name = strtoupper(trim(addslashes($_POST['name'])));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO leagues (name, format, division) VALUES ('{$name}', '{$_POST['format']}', 'A')");
echo 'League Added: ' . $name . '(' . $_POST['format'] . ')';
echo ' [ <a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?action=edit&league_id=' . $row_leagues['id'] . '">EDIT THIS LEAGUE</a> ]';
}

As you can see, an entry has just been made into the database, but the following echo requires that entrie's ID. What is the best way of getting the LAST entry into the database ? Or even better, get THAT entrie's ID.

PHP Script For Finding Table Names
I'm trying to build a script that will find all the table names in my database. This is my current code which of course doesn't work ;)

<?php
$tables_query = mysql_query("SHOW TABLES");
while ($tables = mysql_fetch_assoc($tables_query)) {
print $tables;
}
?>

So I have the query being built and because I am just saying for it to print the variable $tables it just says array. What I am wondering is what do I put for it to print the table names so $tables['?']. Does anyone know?

Outputting A Table Or Form Using SHOW FIELDS FROM Table
In the code the MySQL database was queried using "SHOW FIELDS FROM table" which and the returned results of column names was then use to build an output for a form and a table with php using a series of if statements along the lines of if the returned field name matches something echo a text input field.

I have never seen this done this way before, so I want to get the opinion of the devshed user. Does it seem like an unsual long process to build up a form. Is there a security advantage doing it this way? Has anyone ever done it this way before?

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.

I have a: database called 'site'

table called 'user' which contains the columns of 'user_id', 'user_email' and 'user_join' and some other columns.

table called 'list' which contains the columns 'id', 'emailaddress' and 'jointime'.

What i would like to do is the following:

A script that gets the info in the selected columns from the table 'user' and then takes that information to update the table 'list'.

Is this possible to do at all or do i have to update these tables by hand constantly instead of just running a daily script?

String xmlFilename = @"C:...example.xml";
DataSet newDataSet = new DataSet();
newDataSet.ReadXml(xmlFilename);
DataGrid1.DataSource = newDataSet;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

Create Table Using PHP

Create DB Table
how to create a table in a SQL database using PHP3. I can login via telnet and create a table but that is sorta worthless considering that I'd like to be able to do it via a browser instead. Would someone please post some quick code to point me in the right direction?

Selecting Som Table Row
Suppose to have a table dinamically created in a form where I show
some
information of a set of row selected in a db-table:

.......
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td> <inputtype="checkbox"name="checkbox$cnt"value="checkbox"[color=blue]
> </td>";[/color]
echo "<td>".$row["ID"]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row["field1"]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row["email"]."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

after the table is showed, the user must select some rows checking the
related checkbox and then push a button to submit the form; at this
point I must start another page where I must do some work only on the
rows of the db-table referred by the ID where the checkbox is checked.

Table Data
I have a table on a php page with the cells containing database data from a mysqldatabase.

Dynamic Table
I am trying to create a table dynamically- meaning that a user will be able to add or delete rows via an admin tool. For now, the number of columns will be a fixed number. I figure I can store each row of information in a database and then keep some type of index to keep track of column inserts, deletions, etc. Does this make sense? Does any one have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

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?

Dropping Table
how I can drop a table from my mysql database, but I always get the same error saying "You have an error in your SQL syntax....". Here are the ways I have tried deleting the table:

1) $result = mysql_query("drop table if exists '$table'", $connection) or die (mysql_error());
2) $result = mysql_query("drop table if exists $table", $connection) or die (mysql_error());
3) $result = mysql_query("drop table if exists '$table') or die (mysql_error());
4) $result = mysql_query("drop table '$table'") or die (mysql_error());

Ok, you get the idea.. I'm not sure if this matters, but I have placed the code to remove the table just above the code to create a new table with the same name. For ages, I was getting a "table already exists" error, until I added error checking to the drop table queries, and now that is the only error I get.
