Quickly Adding Text To A Mysql Text Field That Is NOT Empty
Is there a way to insert text into a mysql text field that already has
text into it; without having first to extract the existing data and
append the new text to that string variable and then insert the new
string.
Basically i'm looking for a way to do it with a single query not 2 (one
being a select to gather existing data).

How Can I Display Text If A Field In A Table Is Empty?
I want to display some default text in case the data is not yet inserted into two specific rows in my table. So I need to check to see if data exists, and if not, them display some text. The data being displayed is an MOV file and some comments about that movie. I would also like to not render the box for the movie if that data is missing. Right now, I am using an echo to embed the MOV files, and within the path is the call to the specific file in the table. But if the data is not there, I just get a blank box. Code:

Disable Submit Button If Text Field Is Empty
I am unsure if this must be done with Ajax, or if it can be done with PHP. I have a simple search page where I want the submit button to be disabled if there is nothing entered in the text field, and once something IS entered, then the search button is enabled. I was thinking Ajax, because I am looking for it to be real time and I am not sure if its possible with PHP as I am just a novice when it comes to certain things. So the button is always disabled when there is nothing, and enabled when the user enters something. And lets say the user enters something and removes it, then the button disables again? Is this possible to do with PHP and if so, could someone please help me tackle this . Code:

Adding Text To A Search Box By Clicking On The Text
I'm trying to create a series of hyperlinked strings such that when the user clicks on the hyperlinked string, the text automatically goes into a search box and all the user has to do is to press a button to execute the search. I am expecting this to be easy, but I have no idea how to link the two parts up. My expection is that this involves making the search box dynamic. But of all the tutorials I've read, you can create an initial value for the statement within the search box by simply using the "value" command, but I've not seen a way to manipulate that value statement on the go.

Gaining Access To How MySql Parses Text For Full Text
I want to gain access to the function or process MySql uses to parse words and phrases for Full Text searching. Here is an example. If the user inputs... Milan in history MySql will search for milan, history, and milan history. Is there a way to extract just the combination of terms MySql uses to search the db without the stop words? Stop words are automatically eliminated from the search request unless the user encloses a phrase in quotes. What I am trying to do is develop a script to highlight found search terms and phrases. I can explode a phrase into single words but if I do that the stop words would be included in the array. If there is some way of getting into the parsed words or phrases MySql Full Text actually uses to search, I can use each of those combinations as a keyword in my highlighting script. This request is about searching for the code or any code related to the questions involved.

Adding Text To Variable
I have an email login screen that sends the username and password to an authentication screen. I designate the username with the name of the input, i.e. <input type="text" name="username"> with 'user' entered sends $username=user to the php authentication page. The problem is, to log in, users have to enter 'user+domain.com' in the user name (ISP requirement). Is there a php script I can add to the login page so that a user can just type their user name and the code will automatically add '+domain.com' to the end of it and send it as $username=user+domain.com?

Adding Into A Text Input
How would i go about making something so when its clicked it gets added into the text field? For example if i have a bunch of letters i could click them and they would appear in the text field. Therefore you could type out words and things without using a keyboard. Id like it real time so im not sure if id need to have it made using AJAX. So yeah thats it really, you just add words into a input text field by clicking things. If i have to make the clickable things images thats fine. I just need to make it so i can put things into a text field on a form.

Adding Text To A Textarea

I want to add links into the text area to other areas of the site, but the links are something like this "events.php?cmd=view&id=#". So its going to be far too difficult to rememeber the link to each page. I can create a list of the events from the database but need make them selectable so that when they are clicked "<a href="events.php?cmd=view&id=#">event title</a> is added the text box.

Replace Empty MySQL Field Variable
I have the following MySQL query: $usermood = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `user_info` WHERE `user` = '$c[user]'"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($usermood)) if (empty($usermood)) { $mood = blank; } else { $mood = $row['mood']; } The query works, but my problem is in the "if/else" statement... What I wanted to do is to replace the variable $mood with the word "blank" if there's no data in the "mood" field. The "$mood = $row['mood'];" works fine and I'm able to display an image using the variable, but my problem is when there's nothing in the field, I get a broken link image.

Adding Numbers From A Text Document
I've tried, and searched and lost sleep over this one and I've nearly admitted defeat. I have a text document with certain details listed which comes from another document which comes from a series of forms. The document, let's say 'test.txt', has numerical values at lines 5, 11,17, 23 and so on so forth (just add 6 to the last number and you get the next). Each month the numbers in the file will be added together to give a total. Now there could be only a few numerical entries into the file, or there could be a hundred entries. How can I add the numbers from test.txt lines 5, 11, 17, 23, 29 etc etc together to make a total without having to do the "$lines[5], 1, 4 " + $lines[11], 1, 4" etc etc.

Update Statement Causes Mysql Varchar Field To Be Set To Empty String
I have come across a problem that has me baffled. I am using PHP with MySQL 4.1.14. Whenever I execute an update statement against a specific table, some of the varchar fields do not get set to the new values, but get set to empty strings instead. I have simplified the code down to updating a single column in the table, but the same results happen when updating just the single column. Here is the stripped down code which causes the problem: $queryString = "UPDATE REGISTRATION SET passwd = '$pass'' WHERE id = 388"; $db = mysql_connect("hostname", "user", "pass"); mysql_select_db("CUSTOMER", $db) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query($queryString, $db) or die(mysql_error()); Printing the query string after executing mysql_query shows the following query: UPDATE REGISTRATION SET passwd = 'test' WHERE id = 388 This query updates the column successfully when run directly through phpMyAdmin. When run through PHP using the code above then column is set to an empty string value. There is no error returned if I call mysql_error() nor is there any unusual info returned from mysql_info() (other than it telling me that 1 row was affected). Does anyone have any ideas what the underlying problem is on this one? Could be an attribute of the database table or columns that would cause this behavior? I have racked my brain for a while over this problem.

Adding Newline Characters When Writing To Text File
I have a simple variable record length text file. For each record I entered manually to get started, they have a /cr and /n after line. I used notepad to create my file. I now have a PHP/HTML script which I want to be able to add, modify and delete records. I am currently working on the modify. I am using the fgets, ftell, fseek and fwrite to manage the file. When I write my record to the file and open it up in notepad, it doesn't create a new line. It appends it to the current line. Do I need to specify how many characters to write out in the fwrite? How can I insert the carriage return and newline characters so notepad will recognize them?

Validate Text Field
This is very simple in javascript but I can't seem to find the exact solution in php. I have searched the forum but couldn't find my exact example. I have "page1.php" with a <form> that includes one text field and a submit button. Once submitted the data in the text field would be entered into the DB. I want to make sure that before the <form> is submitted that there has been some data entered into the text field. I have seen the function --- empty() and I have also seen if (!$textfieldName) all coupled with <? PHP_SELF ?> in the action field of the <form> but it just doesn't seem to work for me. I think that it doesn't work because the page that I am entering data in the text field is also inserting data to the DB from a previous page and the <? PHP_SELF ?> is conflicting with this----(Just speculating).....I don't know I am kinda stumped.

Validating TEXT Field Entires
Because I have several TEXT fields in my MySQL database, I need to know how to validate that only alphanumeric characters have been entered -- as this data will be echoed back to the user upon completion of the form. Therefore, I need to prevent any malicious text from being entered into the form (SSIs, HTML formatting, etc.) Is there any way to do this? So far, I've only been referred to addslashes(). I've managed to use the following function: function validate_text($text) { $text = addslashes($text); return ($text); } $input_text = validate_text($input text); But this only escapes single and double quotes with the slash. URLs, SSI statements, etc. remain untouched.
