PHP :: Multiple Table Insert From Tab Delimited File

Tab Delimited Txt File To Php Html Table
Wouldn't you know that when I finally find a tutorial using Google that does exactly what I want, the code doesn't run when I use it ...

However, when it gets to this line, for ($i=0; $i<td>$line[0]</td>, it chokes on one of the '>'.

Since my php skills are very basic, and in no way include arrays, can someone assist me with this?

If it's easier to do it differently, what I'd like to do is create a table in Excel/Access, export it to the server (to a tab-delimted text file, since I'll be using commas in my table cells), and have it display in an HTML table.

If I can't figure this out, I'm tempted to just export to HTML from one or the other program (not sure quite yet which I would use), so ...

Importing A Flat Pipe Delimited File Into A MySQL Data Table
I have done this in perl but eeew I don't want to use perl anymore. I
want to be able to take a flat file that looks like this:

mbriones@...|Marian|Briones
bobsmith@...|Bob|Smith
janedoe@...|Jane|Doe
(etc)

The table has more than 3 fields, so I'd want to process the flat file
and then do an INSERT into mailinglist SET field=$value for each line.

Does someone have a nice way for me to do this? The flat file will be
uploaded to the server via a form (copy) and then be processed.

Multiple Table Insert
I have a table that when you add a new department it will add the name to the table and assign the row and id based on an auto_increment column. From there you need to get the value of the last insert id. SO what I did was use the msql_insert_is() function. and assigned it to a variable.

I then used that variable in my next query because this vaule is a forigen key in another table. Here is my code it should be exectued if you where to post this page with the value of $department_id = "" then the section of script in question will execture. Essentially need it to grab this id number and then place it into 2 more insert statements that should execute immediately after the first insert statement.

Then only insert id that I would need is the one produced in the first insert statement what an auto increment value is assigned to the same table as the department_name Code:

Multiple Table Insert With Php Mysql
I am having and issue getting this code working. It seems rather simple but I cannot figure out why only one sql statement is exectuing and the insert statements the other 2 are not exectuting and updating the other 2 tables. I need to do this. I need to update one table, then from that I need to retrieve the mysql_insert_id or just get the id of the last record in the tabe.

There is an auto increment column that gets assigned a unique id each time a record is inserted. I need this id number then I need it to place data into 2 other tables that will use this value as a reference. here is the code:

Insert Multiple File Paths Into Db?
I am able to upload multiple files but i would like to store the file paths from the array i declared into the database (mysql). I'm not sure whether my query is correct but here it is. It turned up funny in the database when I checked. just ".","/","l" respectively in each picPath. the full file path was not inserted. I used a for loop for the multiple file upload.

$sql="INSERT INTO picturesimage (picPath1, picPath2, picPath3)
VALUES
('$uploadfile[0]','$uploadfile[1]','$uploadfile[2]')";
$result = executes($sql);

Comma Delimited File
I am trying to read comma delimited rows of text. The problem is that
some fields may be encapsulated in "" - particularly the text fields but
not numeric fields.

Is there a simple efficient way to parse the fields with comma but also
strip off the "" encapsulating some of the fields with php?

The problem is the "" encapsulation is optional. Some fields will have
it, some won't.

Delimiting A Non-delimited File
I have a text file, with addresses of business' that I would like to convert to a more useable format ie CSV. Currently there is no delimiting of the various address components.

"A 1 AUTO SALES 1224 S BROADWAY ST WICHITA, KS 67211-3124 316-263-8748"
"ABERLE FORD INC 1025 MAIN ST SABETHA, KS 66534-1893 913-284-3122"
"ACTION AUTO RENTAL & SALES 1101 W 4TH AVE HUTCHINSON, KS 67501 316-662-3699"

As you can see from the examples above the only consistent items are the state and the phone number, and the city is always followed by a comma. I am new to regex and the whole range of string handling functions and I am not sure where to start.

Importing To DB From Pipe Delimited Text File
I am trying to make a PHP script that will import data from a pipe delimited text file in to a database. The problem I am having is that the fields have long descriptions in them and there are multiple line breaks for paragraphs. They contain HTML codes as well (<B>).

The multiple line breaks are causing it to import the data strange, putting data in the wrong fields and totally missing some data as well. Here is what the text file Code:

Stripping Quotes Out Of A Comma Delimited File?
I have a flat file that I'm trying to stick into a MySQL database. One
record per line, multiple fields per record, and many of them are null
fields which are just double quotes without a space between. It's probably
nothing really major for people who have done this before, but I'm a bit
stumped. The file is comma delimited. Every field is surrounded by double
quotes. I've done quite a bit of searching, on the php site and elsewhere,
but I can't seem to get it to strip the quotes out so I can explode the file
line by line to grab the fields.

Update Table While Insert Data To Another Table
it seem like mine coding din work.

Insert Into Table Using For Loop
i managed to get bits a pieces and managed to get this script to nearly work. I put together this script which a)gets a no. of fields to create 2) creates those fields 3) on submission it checks for blank fields & may display error msg 4) also it checks in the db for duplicates & may display error msg 5) if all good it submits to db.

Here comes my dilemma. 1, 2, 3 and 4 work fine however the final part 5 doesnt work at all. 5 works if 3 and 4 are taken away for some reason. I am sure there i am missing something. Can someone please take on the challenge and direct me to where i could be going wrong. PHP Code:

I'm trying to do two queries at once utilizing data from a form. I'm creating a new row in one table, and I need to reflect the ID number and other supplementary data to an existing record in another table.

How Do You Insert A Value From Drop Down List To SQL Table?
I am a bit new to PHP and SQL so this may seem like a dumb question.

I have already created a drop down list as part of a form which is
automatically populated with values taken from a separate database. When a
user goes onto this page and either leaves the default value or selects a
value from the drop down list and presses the submit button, I would like
that selected value to be stored into a database which I have already
created in SQL.

Just to let you know that I can do the above using a text field but just
don't know how to do it with drop down list.

If your going to explain any coding then it may help if I give you the names
of certain items that are involved.

Database is called "Company"
Field within database is called "Name"

Insert Into Multiple Tables
I'm trying to insert data collected on a form into two tables into my database. I know the SQL statements work because I tested them individually, but I keep getting the error "Couldn't execute query 2". Code:

Insert Multiple Rows At Once
i have a strange problem. I can't get php to insert multiple rows at once in
a MySQL database. I use the
$sql = "INSERT INTO database (a,b,c,d,e) VALUES ('$a', '$b' ,'$c', '$d',
'$e')";

I want to insert 5 rows at a time in the database, but it only inserts every
5th record. For example:
1. AA
2. AB
3. AC
4. AD
5. AE

I only find 5. AE back in the mysql with id 1.

How can I insert multiple rows at once ?

Multiple Insert Problem
I'm writing a program for our ice hockey team, and still being rather new, I guess I don't know everything. What my problem is, is that I want to have 3 inserts, all listed in here as $query

The problem is, is that the first one writes to the Game database, but the other two don't. Both tables Game and GameData are listed in this format (capitals) on the mysql table. I've done plenty of searches, and cannot find out why this is not working. PHP Code:

Multiple Insert Or Update
I have this form and i want to do a multiple insert using checkboxes. The values are fetched from a tbl1 and will be inserted into another table tbl2. I want to get only those fields where checkbox next to it is selected Code:

Insert Into Microsoft Access Table Using ODBC
The following lines of code don't return an error but they also do not insert the row into the database:

$SQLText="Insert into member (MailingID, MemberID, [File As], EMail, LetterID, AudienceID, DateSent, Sent) Select $MailingCode, $row[0], '".$row[5]."', '".$row[6]."', $LIDToInsert, $AIDToInsert, '".$DateSent."', 1;";

print '<br>'.$SQLText;

$rs_upd=odbc_exec($link, $SQLText);

if (!$rs_upd) die("Couldn't update database");

I've tested the resulting $SQLText string in Access directly and it works find there so this must be a PHP or ODBC issue.

Insert New Row In Table After 5 Lines - Detect Whole Number?
I have a script that loops through an image directory to create a table of thumbnails. I want to start a new row after every fifth thumbnail. I assumed there was a function which identified whole numbers, but alas, there doesn't seem to be. How do I produce a short version of my long, working version below. PHP Code:

Insert Empy Variable Into Mysql Table

Php Script To Perform Mysql Table Insert
I'm trying to have my php script insert into 2 tables at once, it's for a picture database. Is it actually possible to insert into 2 tables at once? If so what would the sql statement look like.

Insert Multiple Arrays Into Mysql
I am having problems writing the code to generate my SQL INSERT query. I have 3 arrays and one static variable ($cat_number):

$track_name[]
$music_link[]
$track_number[]
$cat_number

Should I be using a foreach command. I know how to insert multiple values but its generating the query that i'm not sure about.

INSERT INTO table (track_name, music_link, cat_number, track_number)
VALUES
(var1,var2,var3,var4),
(var5,var6,var7,var8),
(var9,var10,var11,var12);

I don't want to store the actual array in the dataabase, I am just using an array to catch the data.

Multiple PHP/MySQL INSERT Statements
I have a text file of data in a file (add2db.txt) where the entries are
already entered on separate lines in the following form:

INSERT INTO `reviews` VALUES("", "Tony's", "Lunch", "Great atmosphere.
Good food.", " (Harry Houdini - 03/01/2004)");

INSERT INTO `reviews` VALUES("", "Le Chow Place", "Lunch", "yada yada",
" (Herbert Hoover - 03/03/2004)");

INSERT INTO `reviews` VALUES("", "Golden Dragon", "Lunch", "Exquisite.
Good food.", " (Minnie Mouse - 01/03/2004)");

etc etc

These have been parsed from a review form that a client already
submitted. What I need to do now after I have reviewed the information
for appropriateness and grammer is to insert it into my MySQL database.
I would write single line entries like this:

// Set Mysql Variables
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "";
$db = "rest";
$table = "reviews";

// Connect to Mysql, select the correct database, and run the query
which adds the data gathered from the file into the database

mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db) or die(mysql_error());
$add_review = "INSERT INTO $table
values('','$rname','$umeal','$ucomment','$uname')";
mysql_query($add_all) or die(mysql_error());

But how would I write the $add_review to read each line of the
add2db.txt and enter it as a separate entry?

Insert Multiple Rows From One Form
I have one form submitting a dynamic amount of identical entries depending on how many are generated from the query for the specific date. Each form "set" consists of four values, qid#, a#, a#, a#. So for example, three sets of these equal forms will create the following values:

qid1, a1, a2, a3
qid2, a4, a5, a6
qid3, a7, a8, a9
....
etc

I would like to insert each of these "sets" of values as a new row in my table. Right now I'm using the following code and I'm having problems: Code:

An SQL Query To Insert One Child For Multiple Parents
Let's say we have two tables:

Table 1) Category [fields= categoryid,categoryname]
Table 2) Sub-Category[fields= subcategoryid,categoryid,subcategoryname]

Let's say:

There are 5 entries in Category Table and that are

1,Books
2)Games
3)Toys
4)Computers
5)Cars

now, if i want a subcategory of category "Cars", simply i add a subcategory in it with categoryid=5

thats no problem.

i want a MYSQL query that could allow me to add a subactegory for all those 5 categories in one Query.

so that query enters 5 new rows in table "subcategory"

where subcategoryid,subcategoryname remains same but categoryid is 1,2,3,4,5 respectively.

Insert Multiple Variables Into A Database Quickly
I've just started using PHP and have written a small script to insert 10 variables into my database, e.g:

$query = "insert into items values
('".$q1."', '".$q2."', '".$q3."', '".$q4."', '".$q5."','".$q6."', '".$q7."', '".$q8."', '".$q9."', '".$q10."')";

The problem is, I will eventually need 300 questions so I don't want to list them all individually. How can change this snippet of code so that it says something along the lines of "please insert all the variables q1-q300 into the database"?

Insert Data From Multiple Select List
Am trying to insert data into a mysql database from a multiple select list. How would i do this? Code:

Multi Table Insert Delete Select Function Needed.
I am going nuts here and I know with all the functions out there, there must be an easier way to do this. Maybe someone can point me to the right tutorial or even show me how to do this.

I have a $main_id and many $sub_id tables and like to “SELECT to view” INSERT and DELETE those. UPDATE must not be but would be nice.
Here is how it looks:

Multiple Table Search
I've been playing around with this and I can't quite find the right answer. I have two tables. One has a list of apartments with each having an id. The other has a list of the apartment's bedroom configurations, each one starts with the same id of the apartment. Now I'm using LEFT OUTER JOIN to get all of the apartments and their configuration.

But now I get a list of every apartment, plus each of it's configurations. What I want is just the list of the apartment itself. Instead of the results coming back with 6 of one apartment, I just want it to show me the apartment once... Anyone?

Multiple Table Pull
$result = mysql_query("SELECT $tb1.fname FROM $tb1, $tb4 WHERE $tb1.email = '$T1' AND $tb1.pass = '$T2' AND $tb1.unum=$tb4.unum",$db) or die(mysql_error());
$_SESSION['myfname'] = mysql_result($result,0,"$fname");

The error I get is:

Warning: mysql_result() [function.mysql-result]: not found in MySQL result index 6 in /home/xratedda/public_html/loginout.php on line 39

I know, it looks like I am only grabbing one thing and don't need different tables, but I am trying to figure out how to do this with just one item, before adding the rest.

Connect To Multiple Dbs, On Multiple Servers Through One Php File?
How does one accomplish this?

Linking Multiple Records From Another Table
I'm not sure I'm even thinking about this the right way, but here goes:

I have a table of users. Each one of these users may be associated
with none, one, or many records in another table I call a todo table.
table user = 'id', 'name', 'bla bla bla','todo_list'
table todo = 'id','title','other info'

Suppose user 'id=1253' has on his todo list items 756,241, and 672. I
create a string 756,241,672 and store that string in the user's
todo_list field. Then when I want to display the todo items I get the
string with a query, bust it up into an array, iterate the array and
query the todo table.

I have a gut feeling I'm making it way more complicated than need be.
But I can't think of any other way to do it

Inserting Multiple Transactions Into One Table
I am trying to insert multiple transactions into one table. Basically the user fills out a form and then checks a few boxes. What I need is to have a seperate row inserted into a table for each checkbox they check.

<input type=checkbox name=id value=1>
<input type=checkbox name=id value=2>
<input type=checkbox name=id value=3>
<input type=checkbox name=id value=4>

So if they would check all 4 boxes then it would insert 4 seperate rows into the table...
The checboxes are queried from a database so the amount of checkboxes shown can change anytime as well as the value. Right now it just inserts one transaction which is for the last id.

Multiple Queries That Print To The Same Table?
I have a query that is hitting the same table for the same info just by different means.

1st query looks info up by position.
2nd query looks info up by name.

At this moment the 2nd query works. If I free the result for the 2nd query before it starts then the 1st query works and the second one doesn't. Code:

Query String With Multiple Values In One Table
I'm having trouble with the syntax on a query string, and haven't been able to find any posts or tutorials that seem to address this specific type of query. I have a table named "items" with a field for "name"

In the "name" field, I have several different entries (actual data), including John, Mark, Sue, Brian, Lucy, etc. In the specific page I'm building, I want to query the database and return the data for more than one person, but not everyone. It seems the query string should be:

$query="SELECT * FROM items WHERE name='Brian' AND name='Sue' ORDER BY name ASC";
However I get errors. If I remove the "AND name='Sue'" it returns data for Brian just fine, and if I remove "name='Brian' AND" it returns data for Sue, but I can't get it to return the data for both of them.

Selecting Multiple Columns In The Same Table For A Graph?
I need to select all of the columns and arrage them in to groups so def is one group and distance another and elevation...etc all within the same graph, these would be coloured so distance1 would be the same colour as elevation1 etc. Code:
