Using PHP To Sort Data In MySQL Table 1 By Values In Table 2
I have a MySQL database with 2 tables in it. products and prices.. Products has a field in it called 'prodno'. Prices has a field in it called 'prodid'.

There is one of each item in products and each product has it's own unique 'prodno'

There are multiple instances of each product's pricing in prices.. One for each price.. So if a product had multiple prices depending on quantity it would have an entry for each price.. Example:

id = 1
prodid = 7001
qty = 300
price = 12.5

id = 2
prodid = 7001
qty = 400
price = 15.5

I was wondering if I could query the database getting info from the products table but sort it according to the prices in the prices table.

Kinda like doing a "SELECT * FROM products" ordering it by the lowest price value from each item..

This is all very confusing to me, and I'm the one writing it. Let's try one last time..

Query the database selecting * from products (I plan on using all the info in products) and ordering them by the lowest price for each item in the prices table. I've tried sorting the results of just a basic SELECT * FROM products using Javascript and PHP but with pagination in the results it makes it a bit hard.

UPDATE To Table
I have been having problems with updating a table of mine for the past few days and cannot find a solution or reason why it is not working. What happens with the code below is a user logs in so an query is made to update their login status to 1 (0 = logged out, 1 = logged in).

Then to make sure that the update to the database is made there is a check to see if it has been changed to 1 before the page is redirected to logged_IN.htm (the code below does find $login_num = 1). The problem is that in the table after the header function is executed.

The value for login never changed to 1 in the table, it is always still 0. If I remove the header and have it not redirect to another page the login value in the table does change to 1. I have tried using 2 different servers also and still have no luck. Code:

How To Check And Update Table?
I am trying to work out the best way to update the details in a table I have for customer data.

Each time the customer interacts with the script all the data that is used in the table is sent to the script from an external source.

What I want to do is check to see if the email address is already in the table.

If it is I want to check all the other fields and update the data.

If the email address is not in the table I want to add all the details as a new user.

I am playing with this code but I can't see to get check right to see if the email address exsists. This code always inserts a new customer into the table.

Insert Into Table Using For Loop
i managed to get bits a pieces and managed to get this script to nearly work.

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:

Mulitiple 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:

HTML Table Update Row PHP/MySQL
I have a dynamic HTML page with 4 columns of data, retrieved with PHP
from a MySQL database.
At the end of every row I have an UPDATE submit button, which activates
a php update script to update the database. I now encounter the problem
that in the update script I cannot trace back for which row the UPDATE
buttom was pressed.

I first had defined the UPDATE button as : <input name="update"
value="UPDATE" type="submit">. That doesn't work ...
If I change the definition to <input name="update" value=<? echo
"UPDATE".$nt['id']; ?type="submit">, then I can get the id number in
the update script, but the display is not that good, because you see
UPDATE1, UPDATE7,UPDATE4 and so on ...
So I need something, so I can find back in the update script for which
row the update button was pressed. Each row has his unique id (which is
not shown in the 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 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:

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.

Multiple Table Insert From Tab Delimited File
I have a page I'm coding for batch updates from a tab delimited file. Each row has data that has to be checked against and inserted/updated on different tables in my mySQL database.

How would I go about parsing through the tab delimited file and then storing data between the tabs in order to insert individually into separate tables??

Here's what I have so far...

$contents = file('/myfile.txt');

for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($contents); $i++) {

$line = trim($contents[$i]);
$arr = explode(" ", $line);

$line[$i] = array('ID' => $arr[0], 'Record_Type' => $arr[1], 'First_Name' => $arr[2], 'MI' => $arr[3], 'Last_Name' =>
$arr[4], 'Firm' => $arr[5], 'Address' => $arr[6], 'type' => rtrim($arr[13]));

I need to take the different columns.. ID, Record_Type, etc. and update different tables with each value where the IDs match.

Outputting A Table Or Form Using SHOW FIELDS FROM Table

Inserting Data Into A Table
I would like to know if there is anything strange about the script below(I have only just started to learn php so there may well be!)
Although it seems to work, occasionally it doesn't just insert a single row into the data base, instead 2 or 3 duplicate rows end up in the table. Could the explanation be that I tried this morning to create a table and forgot I already had one with this table name in the database. Would that have damaged the table in some way making it misbehave!
I have commented out the bit about creating tables as I only want to insert data with this script at the moment. One other thought occurs to me, is the problem due to my host freedom to surf as its only a free host and I expect you get what you pay for(or don't pay for in this case). I have subscribed to a pay host http://www.phpwebhosting.com but I am unable to use the database that they have provided because they have informed me that I must use a telnet shell to log into my database and I have absolutly no idea what this is(is it in my Win98?) or do I need to go and get one. I am still waiting for this host to email me back with some help. If there is anyone out there who could tackle all or some of my problems I would be very grateful indeed!
One last thought - I think there is something very strange going on as sometimes when I visit my database, there is less entries in this table than last time, some have been chucked away and my id entries are all out of order now, something like 1,2,3,11,5,7,12 - the last insert had id = 12 next to it and somehow another duplicate has sprung up id = 11????????
