Assign Variable From Database Field
Is there a way to assign a variable from a database field? I'm thinking along the lines of $make = $row_rsList['make']; $model = $row_rsList['model']; then they'll switch out based on my SQL WHERE statement. This valid syntax?

Set Variable Name Use Field Name From Table
I have a query string that sets the value of Variables below: if ($DB == "Departments") { $tracking_id = $data22['tracking_id']; $dept_name = $data22['dept_name'];} simple and straight forward. Now I would like to set a loop that would set the variable name and value based on the field names in the table queried. if ($DB == "Departments") { $querystring = "Select * from ".$DB; $result=mysql_query($querystring); while(($field = mysql_fetch_field($result))) { $field->name = $data22[$field->name];}} can I set the variable name using the $field->name if so how? I have tried this code with no luck and no luck searching. This is a small example. I have queries with fifteen plus fields. This would also remove the need to modify this code if a field needs to be added to the table. And yes I have had to add fields to the tables.

Data From Table Based On Variable
Im making a website where users sign up to a club each user has a user_id and each club has a club_id. On the first page after logging in I want to be able to include a standard welcome message which will say something like "Welcome to $clubname". Then once the admin signs in he then has the ability to edit the post and write some information on the club and save it. However within the website there are lots of different clubs so I need the message that applies to a particular club to only be visible if the user is linked to the club. My database has 3 tables, 1 for users, 1 for clubs and 1 for welcome.

Assign Value To Variable
Is there any way I can use a function to create a variable and assign a value to it? I have a Perl script that returns some LDAP information: sn=Shore givenname=Mike logintime=20041008153445Z logindisabled=FALSE Instead of parsing this text and assigning the values, I was wondering if a function exists where I can pass a variable name and a value, and the variable would be created. ie. somefunc("sn", "Shore") Would create the variable $sn and assign the value "Shore" to it.

Assign MySQL Function Result To PHP Variable
I know to use: mysql_fetch_row($result) to convert a row from a SQL query result set into an array for use with PHP. but in the case of SQL queries that return one value, such as calls to MySQL functions, is there another PHP mysql api function I should use. For example, right now I use a "workaround" technique from PHPBuilder: $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); list($numrows)=mysql_fetch_row($result); Rather than using this "workaround" code is there a way to simply assign the result of the MySQL function query to a variable. $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); $numrows=mysteryfunction($result);

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.

Showing Data From A Table Based On Infos From Another Table!
i have 2 tables in my database : THREAD, and POST THREAD's rows are: THREADID, TITLE + FORUMID + REPLYCOUNT + VIEWS POST's rows are: THREADID, PAGETEXT and PARENTID i'm a big php newbie... I want to display the LAST TWO messages (highest THREADID) of my forum number 99 (FORUMID=99). I can probably do that, but the problem is that the text of the message is located in another table.. and it's getting too hard for my low-skilled brain lol so basically I would like to check in "THREAD" for the highest THREADID where FORUMID=99, display the TITLE, REPLYCOUNT and VIEWS, and then check in POST for the same two THREADID's where PARENTID=0 (meaning it is the first message in the thread) and finally display the PAGETEXT ! Could anyone give me a PHP code that would display that?

I have never really understood what the int(6) means. I know that is an integer, but does int(6) means I can have a table with a maximum 999999 records in it or has it got something to do with memory. What happens after 999999 does the database revert back to 0 What about mediumint and bigint? If I wanted a database to have 999999999999 records would I need to use a mediumint(12)

Getting Field Count From A Table.
I've searched through devshed but haven't found a reference to how to query a database for the contents of a table, then count the number of fields in that table. Can someone help? Say, for instance, the call was FileName.php?table=Vendors In FileName.php, once you'd done all the happy connect stuff, $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table",$db); how would you count the fields in the result, regardless of the number of rows? I thought I could use mysql_fetch_row($result), then, with a single row selected count through the $myrow[] until they ceased to exist. Is this doable? It seems this would be fairly straightforward. Is there an easier/faster/better way? I'm still thumbing through my php/mysql tomb working on the problem but haven't found an obvious solution. Your thought are sincerely appreciated.

Nonexistant Field In Table

The query that's giving me trouble is this one: "UPDATE $table SET `$f` = '$v' WHERE id = '$new_id'" where $f is the name of the field and $v is the value. The problem is, some of the information in the file is outdated, so some fields don't exist anymore. If I try to run the update with a field that doesn't exist, the script halts and I get an error. Is there any way to have the script ignore this and just keep going?

Using PHP In A MySql Table Field
I'm calling text from an mysql database which includes php. I have php echoing values in the database entry for concatenation purposes but when I write it to a page it just writes out the php code in the page source and the browser ignores it. Can I actually put php in a text field in mysql, do I have to format it or change the field type or how should I be approaching this? database entry: some text and <?php echo $value ?> more text php calling the text from the database: $SQL = "SELECT overview_content FROM  overview u        WHERE u.ov_id = '$ov_type'   " ;   $u = @mysql_query($SQL) or die("Couldn't execute query @mysql_query($SQL).");   $row =@mysql_fetch_array($u) ;     $the_overview = $row['overview_content']; code is working fine and writing out the correct values, the php within the database entry is just being ignored.

Updating An Table Field
I creating a new field in a table, and could use a little help in trying get the field populated correctly for each row. When the table is first created, the first row (id=1) has field called missions. And that field has inserted the following "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10". I simply went in order above 1 - 10, but the field will actually be populated with 1-20 in a random order, ie "6,12,19,3,8,1,16". Now what I'm trying to do, is for each row beneath (id's >=2) is to have the first number populate row 2, the second number populate row 3, and so on, down to the last row. After I understand how to correctly assign 1 value from row 1 into the remaining rows, I can then move onto the next step of my project.
