How To Send Info To Database
im wondering how to submit info into a database.

i know the code goes something lie
$sql = "UPDATE <tablename> set $var = "var"

but i know that is wrong
and i want to put it in form so on submit it posts it in the database.

Get And Insert Info Into Database
I have one table (form) that has multiple fields. Here are few fields we need to know: ID, NAME, CITY, STATE, PROFESSION, x, y, z (x, y, z means more than 50 fields that give me more information about each name).

The ID and NAME are unique and they don't change (each name has it's own ID). A NAME and its ID can be in any CITY, STATE or PROFESSION but this is fixed. That means if ID# 123 for Mr JOHN is Austin, TX, that will stay in Austin, TX for ever. I have more than 5000 NAME and it's ID, 9 professions, all US States and all Cities in my database.

Here is what I need to do:
I want to have a form on my site that my visitor finds his name first and then enters more information about him/her that will complete my database fields of x,y,z. What I'm thinking to do is to create a drop down list that the visitor first selects the profession. Based on the profession the second list shows the states that has that profession. Then by selecting the state, all the available cities will show up in the third list, and by selecting the city all the names related to that profession in that city, state will show up and he can select the name from the forth list. Then he enters other required information about him that will be send and saved in the database.

Here is what I have done and I know to do so far:
I have created the database with all the information in one table. I also know how to send data to database to be saved. But my problem at this point is how to create this list selection that narrows the search to find the right person.

Retrieving Info From A Database
I would like the code below to fetch and display in an html table the Ad_Id, Date, and Type_Job fields from the 1st 10 rows of a table called employment. I'd like the results to be sorted first by date and then by the Ad_Id #. I have replaced my username and password with "user" and "password". Currently, the script returns the error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

Also, the script is ignoring the css info that I have supplied. Code:

Populating A Form Wth Database Info
I've coded a piece of code which populates a form with data read from the database:

$connection=mysql_connec ("localhost", "f2821842", "f2821842");
$result=mysql_select_db("QUERIES");
$query=mysql_query("Select * from Emp_Details where emp_num = '$employnum'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{$empname=$row['emp_name'];}

<form name="webregform" action="webadmin2.php" method="post">
<input name="requiredname" type="text" size="30" value="<?php echo "$empname"; ?>">
</form>

When I echo the $requiredname, I get spaces and no data, and I know that $empname is not a space-it does read a value in a database. 1. How can I get $requiredname to print a value?

Ordering Info Returned From Database
I have a PHP page on my site which pulls back info from my MySQL database and displays it in a table under appropriate headings. Is there code that I could add to these headings so that

a) the same page could be redisplayed with the information sorted by the third column instead of the first
b) information in the columns could be displayed in reverse order (maybe Z to A or highest figure to lowest figure)

Session Variable Info To Database
I have a 2 page form. The first page page of the form POSTS to the 2nd page which, after being filled out, should send all the information (from pages 1 and 2) to the database. I have created a session variable and have placed it at the top of the 2nd page. For brevity´s sake I have placed only one of the variables in this example:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["sessanimals"] = $_POST["animals"];
?>

After filling out the remaining variables on page 2, I want all the information (the info from page 1 brought over in the session variable and the info from page 2) sent to the database. I tried creating an INSERT RECORD on page 2 but only the variables on page 2 are subsequently sent upon submission. How do I get all the info into my database??

Here are a list of my questions:

1. Is there any way of creating one session variable for all my page 1 form variables (I have 20+ variables)?
2. is there a way to denote ALL the variables in = $_POST[]; or do they have to be listed separately?
3. How do I post all the data from page 1 and 2 into my database at once?

Insert Form Info Into Database
i am trying to enter info from a form into a mysql database. when i submit the form, a new row is created, but the information isn't contained in it? any thoughts? PHP Code:

Hiding Database Connection Info
In a php script, I have to connect to a remote mysql database. I'm a bit
worried that some user might be bale to retrieve the source of the page and
see the user name and password to connect to the db.

Is this resonable? What's the best way to avoid it?

Obtaining Info From Database Table
How do you obtain fields from a table and assign each field to a variable to be used as needed.
An example:

Say i had:

table name : user

Field 1 : User name
Field 2: Password

then i wanted:

$username = field 1
$password = field 2.

User Info Not Posting To Database

Below is the script: Code:

How To Obscure Database Info In PHP Pages
I'm moving from Cold Fusion to PHP and I have a question that none of
the books I have answers adequately:
In Cold Fusion, database connection parameters like the table, username
and password are configured on the server. Since they are at the
backend, nothing is exposed on the page except the queries themselves.
In PHP, from what I see, the database info is on the page. Is this not a
security risk? How can one be sure that this info is not on the page
sent to the user?

Validating Form Info Before Inserting It Into Database
I have been trying to create a PHP application where you can add customer contacts to a MySQL database.

Now, my problem began when I created a form where the user can add in a customer's name and info to the database. In an effort to alert the user that they may be adding a customer that is already setup in the database, knowing that some of the customers may have the same names, e.g. there is more than one Bobby Ray Brown, I decided to add a script that queries the "customers" table in the database and searches for all results that match the input from the user. Code:

Entering/checking Info Into Mysql Database

On this page i have set up forms to add info into the DB, and it works fine, but i dont want duplicate clients. Is there a way to set it up so that when you submit the form with the info it checks for duplicates and if there is one returns "sorry this record exists?"

Retrieve An Image In Folder From Info Out Of Database
i am having problems displaying an image once i have uploaded
it. i upload it to a folder and store its name in a database. below is
the code to display the image. I have figured out the the code is not
grabbing the name from the database but i can not figure out why. can
anyone help?

//Retrieves data from MySQL
$data = mysql_query("SELECT IMAGE_NAME FROM item") or
die(mysql_error());

//Puts it into an array

Sends SMTP Mail From Database Info
I've got this script that I want to use to send SMTP mail from a form that allows the user to select recipients from a dropdown list that is created using database info and send a message. Two of the selections in the dropdown list are groups. My script works fine when the user selects only one recipient. I run into trouble when the user selects one of the two groups.

The message ends up getting sent numerous times to the people in the group. I received the message 9 times. I think the script is looping more times than it should. Does this make sense so far? Here's the script that receives the form data and connects to the DB to get the recipient email addresses and then sends the message: Code:

Retrieving Database Info Based On User
I'm still quite new to php and mysql but I have been unable to figure this out. I'm attempting to display a specific row and column from a mysql database based on the user.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT fbleague FROM users WHERE username = $_SESSION[username]");
fbleague is the column
users is the table
username is the primary key column
$_SESSION[username] is the username variable

Then later I try to display it with

echo "You are in league $result ";

I know $_SESSION[username] is set correctly because I can display that with no problems.

Uploading Info From A Text File Into A MySQL Database
what would the PHP and SQL code be to say basically: make a new row and put this in the field, what comes after each comma goes in a new field, and each new line should be a new row.

I have a huge text file that i don't have a way to upload directly into a MySQL database because my webhost isn't allowing it for some reason.

Upload & Query MySQL Info Database With Image Files
I want a database I can enter information and upload a photo from a web form. Then I want to query that database for the text info with its related photo and display it (formatted) in a browser (html).

Summary:

1. upload photo's and text information to database with my add article form.

Putting Info Into A DB / Passing Info Between Pages
I have run into an issue...I have posted previously, but my scenario has changed.

Here is the situation...

If a user clicks on a link ('abc123' for example) I want to insert into my database some predefined information about 'abc123' - I have assigned a value that is echoed in future pages for 'abc123'.

So, what I need is some mechanism to, when a user clicks 'abc123', have a pre-defined username and password be entered into the database. I need this so future pages can utilize the session values.

server 2003 box. All my tables in a database were deleted using the
SQL "DROP TABLE" command. Can these be recovered? And if so, how?

Deleted Record Still Being Counted.
Can anyone see any reason why this query would not return the number of rows containing the correct "EID" "CID" where email address is "cs.com" or "webtv.com".....

for some reason it always returns 1 even if the database is empty. The only other flaw that I see is that I had a record that matched this criteria, then I deleted it from the database, but it still seems to want to count it for some reason. PHP Code:

$_SESSION['data'] Not Being Deleted?
I got a login script that basically does that: checks wether username and password is in a mysql file and then sets the variable loged_in to 1 like that PHP Code:

Filling In For Deleted Images
I am creating an image gallary where the images are numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. Users will be uploading the images so if i need to delete an image, I need the code to be able to check if that number has been deleted and replace it with the next uploaded image. I have the code pulling from a txt file with a counter to name each file.

The problem is that if images "36", "29" and "2" are removed... I need those slots to replaced in numerical order with the next uploaded images. So the next image will be named image "2" and will show up as the 2nd image on the page. Code:

File Automatically Being Deleted
Whenever index.php or .htaccess are created in a directory, they are automatically deleted. I'm guessing it is some kind of backdoor attack. Setting permissions to read only didn't help.

Does anyone know how to see what is deleting the file? or protect it?

Character Deleted And Mail Function
I use the mail function in order to send mail on a LAN Lotus Notes
server (SMTP). I send big html mail with the "MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" format.
But, in the message, some characters are deleted, one for 10 lines.

After a test, (message with 1234567890), a character is deleted
approximately every 1000 character.
Have you some ideas ? The problem is coming from php or Lotus Notes ?

Script To Access Expired/deleted Domains?
Does anyone know if there is a script available to access expired/deleted domains? If not, does anyone know how do you get access to the daily expired/deleted domains database?

Reset Row "id's" After Arbitrary Value Deleted
Is there a way to reset the auto_increment value and all subsequent values for that table if you delete an arbitrary row?
example:

row 0 - test info
row 1 - test info
row 2 - test info
row 3 - test info

new auto_increment value = 4

I delete row 2, so table looks like:
row 0 - test info
row 1 - test info
row 3 - test info

the auto_increment is still 4, but there are only 3 rows in the table and the values are not correct. Is there a function or easy way to "reorganize" the row values and reset the auto_increment?

A "few" Old Session Files Never Deleted?
I have session files stored in a special tmp directory specific to a
virtual host instance. The Max_lifetime is long 86400 (1 day) which I
don't suppose is the problem.

Anyway the sessions do indeed expire and "most" of the old session
files disappear as expected.

Not all however. I am finding several old session files with Unix
last mod times weeks in the past.

This behavior observed on PHP 4.2 and 4.3.

Info From MySql DB
Problem : I have a table in mysql with titles as such :

ShipIDNameMcostCcostBuildETA(there are more)

I run the query :

for($i=1;$i<=9;$i++){
$query = "select Name, Mcost, Ccost, BuildETA from ships where ShipID=$i";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed");

I want to refer to "Name", "Mcost", "Ccost" and "BuildETA" so i can use them to build a table. So i need to assign them to variables in an array so i can loop to make a table with as many rows as there are "ShipID"'s. The thing is that all the ways i have tried of refering to individual column names have failed.

PEAR/Info.php
I tried to use Example 49-1. Using PEAR_Info

This is not showing PEAR installation information on local/remote server.

Getting Info Into A Object..
I'm sitting and trying to understand this OOP - and need to create a
class wich can do the following..

ShowBlocks() - Displays the data wich is inside it - If empty creates a form
wich sends the info back to the Object, wich show the stuff..
AddBlock( $type ) - Creates an empty blok - wich is addet to a blocks area
object...( Or somethin like it )
Store() - safes the info into a file, and updates mySQL...

I have figured out most of the stuff but the way to get the empty block ->
creating form with some different strings/textbloks and a file -> putting
stuff into object -> now showing what its looks like and aking if i want to
add a extra block....... now showing x blocks then asking if i want an extra
block - i haven´t got a clue of how to do it !

Does anyone of you have an example with an object thats goes : See im a
empty object -> here you can put an line into me -> see im not empty now (
showing the string) do you want to add an extra line ? - ect ect..
