PHP :: Load Result Contents Into An Array?

Comparing Array Contents
i'm having a small problem with getting information into a database. Basically, i've got a form with some elements in it, such as:

name phone address

for example. I pass these values to a function which finds out whether the action is associateds with the form is to insert, update or delete info from/to the database (using an HTML "hidden" field.)

The field names in my database are the same as in my form. (name, phone etc...). Using mysql_fetch-field, I have an array with the field names in it. I read the values passed from the form into an array called $values with the form fields as keys ? I would like to set the entry as 'NULL' for each field in which there is no data to enter. I thought the best way to do this was by comparing the contents of both arrays, and where there was a key in $values corresponding to the fieldname, somehow assign the contents of $values to that fieldname in the query.

Put Contents Of XML File Into An Array
I need some way to generate an array that holds the same structure and data of a xml file.

Is There A Limit To Array Contents?
I'm building a database interface and plan to take the single-column results of a search and stick 'em into an array to pass them on to the next phase in the database search.

They will be numeric, each value is probably no more than 8 characters, but the array may have as many as 500,000 values. I know i'm new to php, but this sounds like too many to me. Is there a limit (whether official, technical, or simply for user-friendly purposes) or a general guideline for how many values can be in an array? Here's kind of what I mean for clarification:

$array[0] = "00000001";
$array[1] = "00000002";
$array[2] = "00000003";
...
$array[500000] = "00500001";

Will this work?

Listing The Contents Of An Array
how do I list the contents of an array in a select box using PHP. I was hoping there would be a function or something.

Mail The Contents Of An Array.
I was wondering whether is there a way to mail the contents of an array in php. Code:

Summarising Array Contents
Is it possible to take an associative array and summarise its contents? I have an associative array where each row has an integer playerID field, and a few other fields. What I would like to do is count up how many rows there are for each playerID, and then display that information in a table. I've no idea if it's even possible, and if so, no idea where to start!

The query looks like this:

$tries_sql = "SELECT * FROM tries";
$tries_query = mysql_query($tries_sql) or die(mysql_error());
$rsTries = mysql_fetch_assoc($tries_query);

Remember Array Contents
I have the following code, that inserts the ID value of a link into an array, upon the link being clicked. See example link below:

www.somthing.co.uk/functions.php?id=23

How do I get the array to remember its contents, so if the browsers back button is used, and another link is clicked, this link should append/add it's id to whats already inside the array?

What do I need to change in the following code in order for the array to remember its contents:

<?php

$array[] = $id;
print_r($array);

?>

Navigating Between Pages Of Array Contents
I didn't know how else to name this thread...but what I am trying to do is echo out the data in my database so that there are only 9 entries per page.

At the moment, all I have been able to do is show the next 9 rows of data on a page, then assign all the other rows of data into a new array, which i would then pass to the next page in a cookie and start over again using the new array. As well as being sloppy coding, this is at a disadvantage because you can only every go to the 'next page'. You cannot navigate to the previous page unless you click back (and that won't always work) and you can't navigate directly to any page.

I think what I could perhaps do is take my original array, and split it into individual arrays of 9 rows, and then store each of these in a session. This is still at the disadvantage that it will only work if you go to page 1 first - people won't be able to link to a different page.

What would be the best method of being able to navigate through the varying pages of data? And as I have never used sessions before, could somebody please show me how to get started, or at least link me to something that is easy to understand.

Thanks!

Display Contents Of Array Ordered
I have an array filled with integers. How can i display these integers lowest first, highest last? (like mysql order by)

Accessing The Contents Of A SELECT (multiple) Array?
Simple I would guess but since I've never used one of these I'm not sure how to get at it:

PHP Code:

<select name="chooseConcert" size=2 multiple>
<option value="Conversations">Conversations (September 12, 2002)</option>
<option value="Karla">Karla (various dates in October /Nov)</option>
</select>

I need to somehow determine (and print out) the contents if BOTH options are checked. I'm getting the contents using"

$HTTP_POST_VARS['chooseConcert']

I tried it once with both options checked and it only returned the second value. So what's the syntax?

Sending The Contents Of A Php Array In A Html Email
I'm creating a site that posts orders to an email address when they're
submitted, these orders need to be in the form of official invoices so
i'm using HTML to format them.

I already have a shopping basket system which adds all of the totals
up and puts them into a nice looking invoice.

What's the best way to take this HTML and put it into an email?
I'm really looking for a way of sending the page via email, like you
can do in IE by selecting File > Send > Page by Email.

The basket script is quite large and i'm trying to avoid running it
more times than neccesary.

Add Sql Result To An Array
I am trying to add the results of a query (specifically a particular field's value) to a new array. The result is either an empty array or the last row in the query result instead of all the rows. Code:

Simple Array From DB Result
I have a simple DB query which puts a set of values into a pull-down menu as follows:-

Mysql Result Into Array?
I have a shopping cart script sending info to a processor. I need to send the qty's and item name's in some sort of string via a single variable to the process form.
i.e. (3) Hipster Turnips, (6) Butter Milk Baby Brains, (2) Super Freaks Code:

Mysql_fetch_row($result) In Array
I'm generating 20 rows of textboxes in PHP. Some textboxes are pre-filled with information from mysql table. Code:

How To Load Uneven XML File Into An Array
I need an array filled with an XML file made from the CSV example below.

bactisample row has 14 "columns"
bactiresult row has 11 "columns"

CSV is taken and run through an XML creator (we have no control over this piece).....

Replacing Array With Mysql Result
I wanted to repalce the following line of code $data = array(40,21,17,14,23); with

for($i=0;$i<$numrows;$i++)
{
//print(mysql_result($result,$i,2));print(" ");
array_push($data,mysql_result($result,$i,2));}

where mysql_result($result,$i,2) is the value and when i print it displays the values. But $data array is the Y axis value for drawing a chart. Here I wanted to replace the hard coded value with values from mysql but the second code does not function. Does anybody have idea how can I replace the $data array or what may be the problem with my coding The first one works but the second one does not work but in both cases it does not display any error.

Moving A Query Result Into An Array
I have read all the array stuff done searches for examples, but am still not clear if there is a way to do a query from a MySQL table and move those vaules into an arry.

I am sure it can be done, but I thought I would find a function that would do it. Am I just overlooking something?

$resultID = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT slot FROM items");
while(list ($slot) = mysql_fetch_row($resultID)){echo"$slot";}

So anyone have a good way to move the result into some array?

Query Giving Array As Result
I just started PHP and getting the following error when trying to read and echo something from my DB. I get Array as an result of a working SQL query (I tested it in PHPMyAdmin SQL Query) and it should be something else. Array doesnt return in the database i selected, but still it's here.

<?
$host="localhost";
$user="xxxxxxxxx";
$password="xxxxxxxxxxx";
$dbname="mohaaleague";
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die ("Kan niet verbinden");
$clan = "Belgian Fun Clan";
$db = mysql_select_db ($dbname,$connection) or die("Je Stinkt");
//SELECT clan FROM clan WHERE clan='Belgian Fun Clan'
$query = "SELECT clan FROM clan" or die("Query Mislukt");
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query Mislukt1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC) or die("Query Mislukt2");
extract($row);

echo($row. " ");
if ( $clan == $row )
{
echo "het werkt";
}
else
{
echo "het werkt niet";
}
$disconnect = "mysql_close";
?>

If Result Of Mysql Query Is Only One Row/column, Why Use An Array?
If I'm doing a very specific select statement, which I know will only ever return one value, can I get that resulting bit of data without storing it in an array or object?
If not, is mysql_fetch_array() the fastest method for getting this one value?

MySQL Result To Real Array In Function
I'd like to create a function which input is the result of a mySQL
query.
The output should be exactly the same, only not a mySQL result array,
but a 'real' array.
So it should also get the fieldnames returned by mySQL and use those as
keys.

I can't get things to work properly: it should return a
multidimensional array,
like

$result_array[1] = array(
[field1] => field1 value,
[field2] => field2 value,
etc.
)

somehow my result is (with code below)

$result_array[1] = array(
[0] => field1 value,
[field1] => field1 value,
[1] => field2 value,
[field2] => field2 value,
etc.
)

+++++ code ++++++

$get_res= mysql_query(QUERY);

if( $res = mysql_fetch_array( $get_res ) )
{

do{

$result[] = $res;

}while( $res = mysql_fetch_array( $get_res ) );

};

foreach( $result as $key => $value ){

print_r($value);

};

Can I Put A Mysql Query Result Directly Into A Multidimensional Array?
I have two joined tables:

Departments - which contains the department description and a key
Positions - which contains position data

What I'm attempting to achieve is to display the department title in one table cell and then list all the positions associated with that department in the cell under neither the title. I need to generate a table two column table with as many rows as required, depending on the number of departments, which is dynamic.

Do this I'm trying to turn the result of my SQL query into multidimensional array e.g. dept = VioP positions = "designer", "engineer" etc, which I can do then use to generate the table.

I've done a search on the forum and looked around the manual and I'm stumped on how to achieve this, a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. The query I'm using is below. PHP Code:

An Extra Last Empty Field In An 'mysql_fetch_array' Result Array?
I seem to get an extra empty field in every 'mysql_fetch_array' command I issue. For example:

I have a simple table 'tblName':

ID Name
1 Jane
2 Joe
2 Doe

The following code:

$oCursor = mysql_query("SELECT ID from tblName WHERE Name='Jane'");
if (!$oCursor)
{
$bGo = false;
}
else
{
$aRow = mysql_fetch_array($oCursor);
}

results in:

count($aRow) = 2;

$aRow[0] = 1;
$aRow[1] = ''

Am I missing something, doing something wrong, a wrong PHP setting?

Making Mysql Result Into Multi-dimensional Array
My php problem is I want to make the result of 3 tables linked through foreign keys into a 3-dimensional array that reflects their relationship without repetition and without having to call the database more three times.

I know I'm doing a couple of things wrong, one thing for instance is initializing a variable at the end of the loop to remember the previous value s that it does not repeat itself, surely there must be a more elegant way to go about this, but I'm lost and I've been stuck on this all day. Code:

Function Doesn't Return If "load" Is An Array Value
I have created a simple function to load an array with name / value pairs, and return the array. Most of the time it works as expected, but one particular name / value pair causes the function not to return. No errors are reported.

My system details:

OS: Windows XP SP2 ("Windows NT OFFICE 5.1 build 2600" reported by phpinfo)
Server: XAMPP for windows (apache)
PHP Version: PHP Version 5.1.4

The function: Code:

How Can I Load Load Additional Extensions ?
My OS is Winxp . My web server is apache 2 which is installed as a NT
service .

My php version is 4.32 , and I extracted it into "c:php" .

I run php as a apache module .

I want to load Additional extensions .They are php_mbstring.dll,
php_xslt.dll and php_domxml.dll .

I have made changes to php.ini as follow.
extension_dir = "c:phpextensions"
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_xslt.dll
extension=php_domxml.dll

then I restarted apache2 .

but it told me that the modules could not be located .

Displaying Result 1-8, Then Result 9-17 Etc.
I dispaly the results from the database like this.

<? while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($prod_result)) {
$small = $row[0];
echo"<td align=center><img src="produkter/hardware/decks/$small"></td>";}?>

But if there are more than 8 results, I wnat to dispaly the first 8 on one page, then the next 8 on the next page...How can this be done?

Nesting Result Loops Within Result Loops Possible?
I'm looping through a query, and inside the while result output, I am trying to loop through a second query (created from the 1st query's row results).

I have checked that both queries return info.

I can see that the 1st while result output works fine, but when I get to the inner while result output, it never returns any rows (nothing in the while loop evaluates).

So, IS it possible to nest one query's output loop within another, or am I doing something wrong?

File Get Contents()
I need to verify, (working on the HTML section of a mailer), If in my php.ini: allow_url_fopen is On Will file_get_contents(file URL) called as follow:

$mailer->Body = str_replace('{MEMBER_NAME}', $member_name, file_get_content($htmlBody) );

Allows the file to become my email body? where $htmlBody comes from the DB...

Getting And Using Contents In A Folder
I want to make a photogallery/slideshow with PHP...

The 'gallery/slideshow' would show up inside a new window.
basically, I just want links with possibility to go:

- forward
- back
- to the very beginning
- to the very end
- away (close the window)

Can I use PHP to determine the contents of the folder with the pictures and then use variables to determine which photo to show, and what URL's should be generates for the arrows? So each folder with a series of photographs would have one PHP file and the pictures themselves in them (it's not a problem to rename them).

Should be simple enough, but I'm just starting out with PHP, and I'd like to have something working as soon as possible... the website I'm working on is about to launch soon (my first 'commercial' web project :) ), and this is about the only thing left that I still have to sort out how to do...

Add The Contents Of 2 Texbox's
I have designed a form that will display a price (22.34) in
a text box, and another price in the other text box... I also have a blank
text box... Now I want to add both the prices together and get a total in
the bloank textbox..
I got this example off a website sumwhere.. But it does not display the
decimal number, it only displays the whole number

var number1 = parseInt(document.forms[0].CasesSellingPrice.value);
var number2 = parseInt(document.forms[0].AccessoriesSellingPrice.value);
document.forms[0].total.value = number1 + number2;

Getting Address Bar Contents With PHP
How do I get the contents of the browser address bar with PHP - assuming it
is possible?

In javascript it is done with: unescape(window.location.pathname), but is
there a php equivalent?

Getting Contents Of Folder
I've made half of the code for a little "hosting" site for a few of the members of my site. Their files are uploaded to /login/<username>/

I'm now stuck as to how to show the contents of the folder in a page. I think the use of fopen() is needed, however the php website is a little confusing.

List Db Contents
can someone help me make a script that will list the information in one colum in my table! See each clan I have has an ID, and CEO and bla bla bla! But what I want done is it to only show the name of the clan in A dropdown menu. So that when users are signing up they can select the clan they want and it well ya you know puts the name beside theres in the table. But can someone make me a script to list all the clans Names and only names not ID, Ceos, and all that other stuff. Code:

Getting The Contents Of A File.
Is it possible to get the contents of a file; display the contents in a textbox; and edit the contents of that file. Then click a button and change the contents to the new updated file.

The reason I want to know this is because I have programmers on my site and I don't want them to have access to the FTP or cPanel. They will jus enter the name of the file, click submit, be able to edt and replace that file. All without FTP or cPanel.

How Do I Email The Contents Of A Webpage?
How do I email the contents of a webpage?

My project is coming along nicely and I have it almost completed.

It started with putting data into a mysql database and allowing people to
select items wanted from a big list. I now can update the database with the quality wanted and I can generate an email to the person however I cannot get the list of items wanted into the email.

The list is coming from a mysql database based and comes up in a table type
format

My question is how do I get the information from the 2nd page into the body
of an email?

File Get Contents Issue.
In folder WWW i have text file named news.txt. I'm calling file_get_contents("news.txt"); form index.php in the same folder. I got error:

Warning: file_get_contents(news.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/index.php on line 14.

File Get Contents - Timeout
I Have googled and founds lots of references and examples of stream_set_timeout for fsockopen, but none showing how you apply a timeout to file_get_contents which I need to use in this case.

Can anyone give me a sample of how to set a timeout on file_get_contents, as I understand that it can be applied to all PHP streams?

This does not timeout after 2 seconds:

$url ="http://www.mydomain.com";
stream_set_timeout($contents, 2);
$contents = file_get_contents($url, false);
Print $contents;

File Get Contents() Error
I made a PHP5 script that uses the file_get_contents() funtion and when I run the script, I get this error:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

I called my host up and they said that it is a coding error, not a security or server error,

Here is the code:

<?php
$address = "http://www.example.com";
echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($address));
?>

File Get Contents .limitation?
See this simple file_get_contents code

<?php
$link= 'http://www.example.com'
$content=file_get_contents($link);
echo $content;
?>

I tried the code with these links:

1. http://www.example.com (...worked OK. Also tried google.com, yahoo.com,... all OK.)

2. http://www.example.com/buy/chess (...$content captured an error page instead of the result)

3. http://www.example.com/chessmotifs (...$content returned nil, ... totally nothing. This is the one I need the code to work btw.)

Could this be because the site (in this case cafepress) uses some sort of scripts to generate their sub-pages? If yes, is there an alternatif method to "file_get_contents" that allows a page to generate fully before capturing?

Size Of Variable Contents...
We are trying to debug a program that queries an oracle database
and reads a LOB.
Somewhere along the line from the db to the screen, an initial cr
gets added.

We can read out the LOB fine using Tcl/Tk, so we know the database
data is correct.

We now like to know when the additional char gets added, between
reading the lob and displaying it.

Set JavaScript Variable To DB Contents
I can get the contents of the my database comments field using PHP.
The comments field may include single or double quotes or other strange
characters.
How do I compensate for these problem characters when I try to set a
JavaScript variable? eg.

Checking Form Contents
I would like to verify the contents of a form before inserting the data into a mySQL database. How can I check the contents of the form and return the user to the form if they have not completed all the required fields(with the data they have entered intact). Only after the form is verified to contain all the mandatory data do I want to insert it into the database.

In addition, it would be great if I could highlight the fields that are missing data. Currently, I have a php script handling the submission and insertion. Is it possible to make that submission conditional?

Reading File Contents
I am parsing a file delimited by |. For some
reason the content is displayed to the browser properly - but the loop
is consistenlty outputting "one more row" of just the titles.
Perhaps I'm going about it completely wrong:

<?php

$filename = 'books.file'
$fp = fopen("$filename", "r");

while (!feof ($fp)) {
$contents[] = explode("|", fgets($fp, 4096));
}
fclose ($fp);
$loop=1;
foreach ($contents as $row) {
echo "$loop ------------------- ";
echo "Reviewer: $row[0] ";
echo "Date: $row[1] ";
echo "Title: $row[2] ";
echo "Author: $row[3] ";
echo "Rating: $row[4] ";
echo "Comments: $row[5] ";
$loop++;
}

echo "<a href="bookreview.html">Insert a new book review</a>";

?>

Load Result Contents Into An Array?

Is there a way of loading an entire result set into an array without manually looping though mysql_fetch_row?
