Auto Delete Date Based Calendar Events
Out of both wanting to improve my PHP skills and necessity, I created my own small CMS for a non-profit site I am involved with. One of the features I have is an event calendar where other users can submit events, which then go into a "holding tank" until I can approve or deleted them. It's working great and everyone is loving it... but I have discovered one issue. When the date of the event passes, I have to log into the admin area and manually remove it. I am actually not deleting it from the database but changing a field variable and archiving it for our records.

I have been trying the past few days to come up with the necessary PHP to automatically check the current date (today's date) against all the calendar events and remove ones that have already happened. I could then hook this up to a CHRON action in my hosting CPanel and call it a day - at least that is how it all plays out in my head.

I imagine in order to point me in the right direction you will need some information about my database.

Was wondering if anyone could help me with a PHP, MySQL problem. I am
completely new to PHP and MySQL. I have been trying to find a way to
list data from a table on a web page and after each individual item
have a hyperlink to allow users to delete the information listed. Can
anyone help?

i.e.
Name Age Sex
------------------------------------------
Adam 21 M delete
Betty 22 F delete
Chris 23 M delete
Daisy 24 F delete

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(row) from the table).

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.

Auto Increment By More Than 1
I have a table that I want to automatically generate an account number.

What Will The Next Auto Increment Be?
I have a MYSQL table with a field that auto increments 'ID'. I need to know what the next ID will be. Is there a simple way to do this?

Auto Increment
how when you have an auto-incremented mysql list? And you know how when you delete an entry, the entry's auto-increment value just gets dropped and skipped?

Auto Linebreaks?
Is there a certain way to 'auto-magically' add line breaks when enter is pressed?

It would turn out like this.

Auto Drop Down Box
I need to create an auto drop down box. For example I already have a list of states that are pulled from the database. When the user selects a state, a drop down box below should populate with the cities from that state. (that's where I'm having trouble)

This is a search form so the results have to reflect what city and state they chose. (along with some other criteria)

I've searched all evening for instructions on how to do this and so far I've only seen javascript that you put directly in the code. If I have all 50 states along with their related cities that's an awful lot of code to put in the page.

Isn't there a way to automatically pull the cities from the database to populate the box when the user clicks a state? I have no idea where to start to make that work.

Getting Last Id Of The Auto-increment Key
I have two tables and I need to get the last id of the primary key in one of the tables. I did some searching and found a solution that works.

$sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO (table) (column) VALUES ('test')") or die (mysql_error());
$insert_id=mysql_insert_id();
$num = $insert_id + 1; //need to increase the last id by one to match new entry in other table

This works well. The downside is in order for this to work an actual value is filed into a new row of (table) after the last id found in (column) thus giving me a blank row. While this isn't too bad, I could imagine I'll end up with a bunch of empty rows in my table. Is there a way to prevent this from happening -- i.e., a bunch of empty rows?

Auto Run Scripts
This is probably a real simple thing to do but I have never done it before!

I have an apache server on my server (XAMPP) running PHP and I want to be able to programme it to run a php script at certain times. Is this a server or PHP task and how would it be done?

Getting An Auto-increment Id?
When someone creates a topic, the following is executed:

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`topics` (`topic_name`, `topic_desc`, `poster`, `forumid`) VALUES ('". $posttitle ."', '". $desc ."', '". $sessionu ."', '". $forum ."');");

This inserts the topic into the topic table. However, then this is executed:

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `reflexproj`.`posts` (`poster`, `post`, `topicid`) VALUES ('". $sessionu ."', '". $fp ."' '". $id ."');");

This is meant to insert a post into the posts table that starts the topic. However, this is a problem. The problem is, that $id hasn't been defined.

My question is this, really: How do I get $id? Basically, I've got to find a way of getting an auto_increment value from a database. Anyone any ideas?

Auto Linking
i'm tryin go to do a auto link thing and i'm running into some problems with my mysql statements

$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM tags";
$result = mysql_query($sql_query) or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

foreach($result as $res){
$res["tag"] = $tag;
$res["link"] = $link;
}
echo "Test".$tag;

$keyword_array = array(
$tag => $link,
);

How Can I Auto-save The .pdf?
i've gotten used to using the ezPDF class to create and stream a pdf. Now i've encountered a project where I want the created pdf to be emailed rather than streamed to the browser.

I'm comfortable enough with phpmailer to send the file if I can only figure out how to save the PDF. The documentation for the ezPDF class mentions a function called ezOutput... but that seems to do the same thing as ezStream.

Get Last Auto-increment Number
I am inserting related data into 2 tables. The first table I insert into has an auto-incremented field. The second table i insert into has a field which needs to hold the same number as the number in the auto-increment field from the first table. I cannot auto-increment the field in the second table because the number will occur more than once in the second table.

How can I retrieve this auto-incremented number from the first table?

Auto Code Colouring
