Table Aliases In A DELETE Statement


Is it possible to use table aliases to shorten a multi-table DELETE statement, or am I barking up the wrong tree, so to speak?

Mysql_fetch_array And Table Aliases
I'm using mysql_fetch_array to run a query along these lines:

SELECT A.name, B.name FROM A, B WHERE A.id = B.id

I tried this code:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo $row['A.name'];
}

.... but the echo statement produces "Notice: Undefined index: A.name".
Of course, using just 'name' would be ambiguous because the query also
retrieves B.name (and my actual query will involve more tables and
probably select '*' [i.e. all columns], so it isn't trivial to use
'AS' to provide individual column aliases).

Delete Statement Problem
I am using a simple delete statement in my php script (below)

$q = "DELETE FROM commenttype WHERE TypeID=".$_POST['selectcat'];

the problem is it doesnt delete the whole row it only deletes the text in
one of the fields of the row. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
It works when I run the sql directly from a program such as mysqlphp

Do A DELETE Statement To Remove Any Records That Don`t Match.
I`m just trying to figure out the best method to delete my records and wondered if it was possible to do a DELETE statement to remove any records that don`t match. Here is my code so far:

$Query="select blah its huge:-)";
$RESULT=mysql_query($Query);
$my_rows=mysql_num_rows($RESULT);

for ($a=0; $a<$my_rows; $a++){
mysql_data_seek($RESULT, $a);
$Array = mysql_fetch_array($RESULT);
printf("%s<BR>", $Array['Email']);}

My Query returns Matched Records, what I would like to achieve is deletion of the records that didn`t match, would it be possible to do that under the printf statement. So delete all the records in the table that don`t match up to $Array['Email']??

Function Aliases
I have to write a dynamic page which has to run on several platforms, using
different databases. Because of that, I want to write a small db-front-end
which is an almost 1-on-1 mapping of the functions provided by the PHP API
(and the proper front-end is loaded using a conditional include).

Using the "C-way", I thought of using define(), but in PHP that can only be
used for defining constants. I also though of using function variables, but
then the feel of the code changes.

The simplest method I have found sofar is the following (for mysql_connect):

function sql_connect()
{
$p = func_get_args();
return ( call_user_func_array('mysql_connect', $p) );
}

Aliases In Like In Apache
In Apache, you can do something like:

DocumentRoot d:/www/
Alias /myfolder/ D:/anotherfolder/

Which means that everytime d:/www/myfolder/ is accessed, Apache takes a equivalent file out of D:/anotherfolder/.

I want to do the same with .php-files to do local testing under windows.

Under linux, you would do a symbolic link, but thats not possible in windows xp My includes are always like:
include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/myfolder/test.php"
and I hope I don't have to change them because there a lots ;-)

I tried to extend the include_path in php.ini with "D:/anotherfolder/", but I'm not able to include anything out of this folder with that.

plus others uploaded it then sat back to watch my master peice in action, but hey guess what! includes dont quite work like that, the sites all loaded under each other and the page was veery wide, and even my nav table include had the same rollover effect as the first site in the includes.
