Front For Mysql
Are there any good PHP scripts or pre written programs that deal with a
complex database?
Let me explain:
I'm in truck dispatch, and we've moved all tables to mysql and access them
on a network via ms access.
We will open another office in another city, and will want a "web" database.
Now here's what I'm after: Currently one form has various dropdown boxes to
pick customer, shipper, consignee, and carrier information. YES, I even
have the combos ask (ENTER SEARCH STRING), so all 17000 records do not show
up in the dropdown combo boxes. You might enter da for example to get all
occurrences of carries that start with da, i.e., Davis Transportation Inc.
Currently only about 5 da's. Of course the information in combos are pulled
from the customer database via a query. This all being done in ms access
with the mysql tables linked.

This is a very complex system, and all works perfect on a five computer
network.
By the way, choosing a shipper in a combobox fills in "ALL" necessary fields
for pickup, i.e., Address, contact person, phone number for directions, etc.
Can a web database even do something like this?

When I migrate to a "Web" database, I am looking for a good PHP script /
code / example that can handle this situation of dealing with multiple
lookups on one form, and filling in all required information without having
to type it in each time.

Ok PHP folks can this be done and where are the examples to learn off of?

To put it in a nutshell, I know how to populate a table, search, and edit
records in php. What I need are example of: Say you are entering a new
record, I need a "LOOKUP POPUP TABLE" with a search (enter search string)
like above, and a way to select a row, then the "LOOKUP POPUP TABLE" closes
and the original record I was entering has certain fields filled in. Liken
this to the "Northwind" example that comes with MS Access. In an order
example, they have some customer info auto filled in.

If all I needed was table / forn / search / edit, I could use DADABIK.

And one final question, Do I need a web database, or is it possible to
still use MS Access as a front end from another city / state in a client
server setup? I know how to network all this but not client / server from a
long distance.

GNUPG Email Front End
I've been trying to figure out if there is a real GNUPG front end for popular Windows email programs and so far I haven't found any. Yes, they say it's built in Becky but what if I'm using Netscape Mail or Outlook Express. Ok, I downloaded free PGP and it installes a whole bunch of utilities that I don't really need apart from the plain plug-ins. Yes, it does have a plug-in for Outlook Express and Eudora but not for Netscape Mail. I had to modify the gnupg options so pgp could decrypt it too. Well, my major concern is Netscape Mail actually but in general, I would like a plug-in for plain, "clean" gpg.

How do you solve the problem with the front end decryption?

Using AJAX With A PHP Front Controller
I have a framework that uses the front controller design pattern for a
single point of entry to the application and the autoload function for
includes. I am trying to incorporate AJAX into the framework, but the
javascript calls to php ignore my front controller code when
instantiating classes.

MySQL FRONT Is Evil
I was trying to work out a text field that was not able to input data into the database. After trying every possible thing and posting problem on the forum as well, today I thought of doing something different. At that time my database was created using MYSQL FRONT, So today I created one in phpMyAdmin and guess what?

It worked just fine with the exactly same code. Mysql Front is evil!! took so much of my time. If anyone of you is having issues that does not make sense and are using Mysql Front, then it might be worth trying phpMyAdmin.

HTML, PHP, Front Page
I use Front Page 2000 to devolp my web content (don't hate me I just happen to like WYSIWYG better than physically writing out the code for HTML (a pain in the butt language :-) ) Anyways does anyone know if I can have it save files as .php instead of .html and use them in the web setup. Also another question how do I get a server to load index.php instead of index.htm?

HTML In Front Of XML While Using SOAP. Please Help.
I am writing some dotNET code to "consume" a web service written in
PHP. So far I have been getting some error messages and PHP seems to
place HTML text in front of the XML message. dotNET doesn't expect the
XML and then it chokes. This is what I get.

The <br> tag from namespace is not expected. Line 1, position 2.

I was able to capture the data going through the network and I've got
the outgoing and incoming messages. I put those at the end of the post
because they are too long.

Looking at them you can perfectly see the HTML I mentioned. In this
case the HTML part says I am missing arguments. That should be an error
message coded in SOAP. But there is more. There is an actual SOAP error
message, it looks like even when the call was bad it executed the code;
it must have put something on the missing parameters.

My biggest issue is that the HTML prevents me from doing proper error
handling on my side of the app. Is this fixable?

Add A Little Peice Of Code In Front Of Every Link?
I have a site that I recently added in SEO urls. Everything works great, but none of my links go to the seo.

So I need a script that would add in a $variable before every link, automaticly.  Since I am not too skilled in php is would be really hard or me.If you are a PHP guru out there could you whip this up or me?

PHP Script Putting Slashes In Front Of Apostrophes
I just put up a script where people can make their own quizzes, but when a user inputs a word with an apostrophe, it displays on the page with a slash in front of it. For example:

Eric/'s Quiz

Is there anyway to fix that?

The script is called phpQuest 0.15 from a site that's no longer around, and I couldn't find any help about this issue on the Archived version of the website.

Simplexml And Attributes With A Namespace In Front. How Do You Getthe Attribute?
Here's a bit of xml code that works.

<?php

$string =
"<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<world>
<people xmlns:ss="http://crap">
<person id="5">John Doe</person>
<person id="2">Susie Q. Public</person>
</people>
</world>";

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
print "<pre>";
print_r($xml);
print "</pre>";

foreach($xml->people->person as $p)
foreach($p->attributes() as $a =$b)
{
print "$a =$b<br />";
}

// prints out
// id =5
// id =2
?>

Now what if I change the first person to this
<person ss:id="5">John Doe</person>

Anyone know how to get the id?

This is a question that is pertinent to an excel .xml file as
you'll get lines like this
<Cell ss:Index="3">stuff</Cell>

btw: there is a guide on ibm that tells you how to do this with php
and dom. I'm just wondering if there's a way to do it with simplexml.

** ONLINE DATA INSERT --> MYSQL Front & PHP Script **
Im using MySql front and PHP 5 for some web shop.
I didn't try it so far but i guess that the online data insertation ( accept
costs and time ) should be the same process like for local connection.

Problem:
I have to create online ( on remote server ) some 6 tables and some 20
fields with MySql front.
Ok. This shouldn't be great problem ( i hope :-)).
The bigger problem is that i need to insert cca. 450 products ( into
differnt tables (products, pro_groups ... ) ) and i dont know how to make
this online.

For now ( 20 products ) i made all this thru localhost but now i have to
insert much more data and all this online...
The data is sorted thru groups ( 8 major groups ) so every product is part
of some group.

How can i insert data, online and how to pass so much products from
localhost to remote server ( maybe by reading some .txt file ? ).....
