Delete Duplicates In MySQL
I have a database in MySql which has 2 fields. The 1st field is called id which is the primary key. The 2nd field is called full_add where there are some duplicates. I would like to delete all the duplicates in the full_add field leaving only 1 record behind. It does not matter if the corresponding primary key gets deleted as well because the primary key is not related to any other table or database. I prefer not to use temporary tables or create new tables because my webhost does not allocate much memory to me & my database is quite big.

Delete Record - When The Delete Link Is Clicked The Next Page Is Blank And Nothing Is Deleted.
This is my "delete.php" and this "todo/delete.php?id=64" an example of a link to it generated from the index.php page. When the delete link is clicked the next page is blank and nothing is deleted. What have I done wrong? <? include("dbinfo.inc.php"); mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $id="delete from todo where id='$id'"; mysql_query($id); mysql_close(); ?>

Duplicates
check for duplicates of anything? For example, in the customers table, I want to check for duplicate zip codes, and display them. So, if there are 40 records of zipcode ?', and 35 records of? By the way, I don't know what zip codes are out there, I just used those as examples. So, I don't have an particular zip code I'd like to view. I'm just curious to see how many of any duplicate zip codes are in the table.This query does the exact opposite of what I want to do:PHP Code: SELECT DISTINCT zipcode FROM customers And I tried this query,but it only seemed to cause my PhpMyAdmin to bog down:PHP Code: SELECT zipcode FROM customers WHERE zipcode IN ( SELECT zipcode FROM customers GROUP BY zipcode HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ) How would I pull out only zip codes, if, there are more than 1?

Code To Look For Duplicates
I would like to create a php script that would search a log file and spit out the top 10 requested songs but...only allow an IP to vote for the same artist once. So for example. The log file looks like this. 04-03-2002,18:40:40,xx.xx.xx.xx,0,Brett Raymond - Angel's Gonna Find You.mp3 04-03-2002,19:33:20,xx.xxx.xxx.xx,0,Alex Mackey - I Know That My Redeemer Lives.mp3 04-03-2002,19:43:21,xx.xxx.xx.x,0,F:Jenee Wright - His Eye Is On The Sparrow.mp3 04-03-2002,19:45:44,xx.xx.xx.xxx,0,Jeff Long - Gethsemane.mp3 The xxx's are the IP's which I masked for this example. Is PHP capable of doing what I need or should I look into a Delphi or C++ program? If PHP can do this how would I start it out?

I'm getting some data from a database, but there are duplicates for every entry. For instance, if you looked a table of posts for this forum, you'd see posts and the author. I'm getting the author, so there could be hundreds or more of repeats. I'd like to basically get all the uniques in a column.

Preventing Duplicates
I'm doing something where I need to enter ID numbers, but I don't want the same one twice. Furthermore, I would like for the page to give an error if this happens. I don't entirely know how to do this, but I've read around and found stuff like mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table> WHERE <column>"). This is great and all, but if I try to save that value to a variable, like $counter=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <table> WHERE <column>"), I don't get a number, such as 0 or 1 or anything that I want, I get a Resource #3 or something along those lines. All I want is to be able to check the database against the ID given in a form to see if it is there. Code:

Want To Remove Duplicates In A String
I have one further question about improving a validation. Currently this will validate a string of words separated by commas, and if it's greater than 9 will do something, or something else if less than 9. How can I improve this, so before it does the checking remove any duplicates in the string? <? $tmp = explode(',',$your_str); if (count($tmp) > 9) { // do something } else { // do something else } ?>

Duplicates Appart From 1 Field.
I have a table containing 4 columns. There are a number of duplicates that have the same data in 3 columns, the 4th column is time, which is always different. The following 'nearly' works. The time field is obviously not included. SELECT DISTINCT `ID`, `State`,`OptUser` FROM tblStatus ORDER BY ID DESC If I add the time, all fields are returned as they are all different. I need to remove the duplicates. It doesnt matter which date gets removed, preferably the latest one stays, but doesnt matter.

Trying To Prevent Duplicates In Preg_replace Regex
I'm trying to write a regex pattern to use in preg_replace. Basically I want to put [brackets] around every line ( ) in this variable. However, I need to exclude lines that already have brackets or quotation marks around them as well as lines that start with a hyphen. Lastly the lines with ** need the brackets before the **, instead of at the end of the line. Here is what I have so far - it is close, but I keep ending up with duplicate brackets. $temp = 'this is a test "this" "is" "a" [this] [is] [a] test ** 93.23 test 2 ** 10.05 -this -is -a another good test ' $PATTERNS = array("/^[^"[]/m", "/[^"]]$/m", "/[ ]+/", "/ ** (.*)]/"); $REPLACEMENTS = array("[", "]", "] [", "] ** $1"); $output1 = trim(preg_replace($PATTERNS, $REPLACEMENTS, trim($temp))); print_r($output1);

Mass Mailer Sends Duplicates
I wrote a mass mailer program and am having problems with it sending duplciate emails to the same email address. Sometimes it will send as many as 4 or 5 emails to the same address. I am using the phpmailer class version 1.73. I also have it set up to use a POP3 account. I am going to be changing it so that I use either sendmail or qmail depending on the server I set it up on. I have tried writign the program several different ways to try to stop it from sending duplicates, but it still does. When I run a test with 2 or 3 emails in the test table in the database it only sends one message to each email address, but when I send out to several hundred or more email addresses it sends multiple emails to each address. It sends to all the addresses in the query one row at a time, then it proceeds to send to all of them again.

Form Validation - Finding Duplicates: Regular Expressions Or String Functions?
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient method for taking the first character in a string (which will be a number), and use it as a variable to check to see if the other numbers in the string match that first number. I'm using this code for form validation of a telephone number. Previous records from the past few months show that when someone is just messing around on one of our forms (to waste our time), they type in a phone number like "555-555-5555" or "111-222-3333". Our Web forms have three text boxes for each telephone number: homephone1 = area code (3 digits) homephone2 = prefix (3 digits) homephone3 = suffix (4 digits) businessphone1 = area code (3 digits) businessphone2 = prefix (3 digits) businessphone3 = suffix (4 digits) My plan is to check for this pattern, then if I find it, just redirect the user to the thank you page so they'll think the form was processed, when it actually wasn't. As we find additional patterns that people use for malicious data, I'll enter those as well (e.g., 123-123-1234) Also, if you see any tutorials, or articles that talk about "real world" form validation please point me to them. I've been looking for references for form-based validation logic that takes real world dummy data into account, but haven't found much.

Not Able To Delete
I've written a script to display all records in a database table and allow the user to select a record for deletion by entering it's ID number into a form at the bottom of the page. When they click on the Submit button, it refreshes the page & shows the entire record that they selected and it asks if they're sure that they want to delete it. There's 2 radio buttons that that allow them to select either "Yes" or "No". Everything is working fine up to that point. Where I run into problems is that no matter whether they choose yes or no, the record does not get deleted.
