PHP :: Passing PHP Arrays To Mysql Best Solution

Looking For PHP Solution To Adding Content To MySQL Database
I have recently used aedpro to quickly make pages for my client to be
able to /add/edit/delete/view all/ content in their MySQL database.
Though these pages work, they are limited to an all-or-nothing type
view within their returned record pages. You can't sort the edit or
delete pages to find your information quickly/easily, you have to
scroll through all the records to find your record of interest. The
database contains over 2000 horses, so scrolling to find a particular
horse takes too long. Or, when trying to edit a horse's record, or
group of records, you have to scroll to find the record(s) instead of
being able to type in the record's horseID number and then go just to
that record or group of records to edit.

Do any of you gurus out there know of a PHP based MySQL database
management system that you have used that is both flexible in its use
and easy to install? I have Googled, but nothing is coming up but CMS
type systems, which we don't need. Perhaps I am calling this something
it is not, thus I can't find it. Any help or direction appreciated.

Passing Arrays
I have an eccomerce site that has a shared secure server this causes problems with my sessions because as soon as you go to the secure server it obviously starts a new session because it is on a different server. Firstly is there a way to stop this.

Secondly if not can I easily pass an array to the next page in a form, I don't think this is possible don't all items have to be displayed in the form, each item in the array needs a form field (hidden) in order to pas sit to the next page.

Passing Arrays To Functions
[code]
$job_status = array(
"unassigned",
"current",
"completed"
);

function gimme($name){
echo $$name; // this is in hopes to echo the contents of $job_status when gimme(job_status) is called
}

How can I get $name to be the ARRAY $job_status? I'm trying to keep this very modular so that I can also perform:

gimme(job_type); among others.

Passing Arrays To New Function
I am filling an array in one function and want to pass it to another. I am making the variable global with the correct syntax (I believe) PHP Code:

Passing 2D Arrays From PHP To Oracle
I have an existing Oracle database application that requires a
"simple" front-end (do these things ever turn out to be simple?).
There is an existing API written which I would like to reuse if
possible. Here is a snippet of the API:

TYPE property IS RECORD
( property_key VARCHAR2(8)
, property_value VARCHAR2(128) );...

Passing Arrays With A Form
Here is some code from the main page. PHP Code:

Passing Big Arrays To Another Page
I'm having a little problem on my advanced search system with large amounts of results, when trying to pass them to another page. Tried to use the serialize function but when the results reach a number, for instance, of 300 the link will not handle that. It works for small resultsets.

When user search the database for (example) stores in "New York" we get 256 results.
Now I want to give the user the chance to search on these results, the stores found in the former query that sell "bread", which would take the user to another page called "advanced search for store features".

This to avoid the use of big forms for these advanced searches, where I've created a degree set of search pages (I have about an overall 250 features to search).

The main problem seems to pass the array to the other page when large ammounts of data are set on this array, which I'll call here as $storeIDs. When the results are small, the serialize and unserialize function will do the job. Is there a way of going through this in other manner?

Passing Arrays Through Sesisions In 4.2?
I am trying to find out the easiest way to pass an array from page to page through sessions...using php 4.2. I was very familiar with the older versions, but now that I am moving to the new platform with the new variable prefixes ($_SESSION, $_POST, etc..) I feel sort of lost.

What I need to do is, for example, have a text field that when submitted, is sent to the same page, but is added to an array with the contents of the array being displayed. I need this to be able to be done as many times as needed. Here is a sort of sample of what I have been working on. Code:

Passing Arrays Between Servers
How can i pass a multi-dimensional array between 2 servers?

I tried serialize/unserialize but i have noticed it is working today and tomorrow not anymore. i played a little with it and even tried base64_encode(serialize($array)) only to find out that serialize does not always bring the expected results. Can it be that serialize is buggy (not realy my question)?

I do not want to use mysql as both servers are configured to deny remote access. ,I cannot use sessions because one server is a ssl server and the other is not, so this option is also out of question.

Passing Arrays In URLs
Passing Arrays in URLs. I.e passing arrays between two pages. This has been delt with here before but I can't help feeling there is a better way. The two current options are:
serialize and urlencode .... then ... urldecode and unserialize OR implode ... then ... explode But if you create a form with a multiple select in it like so:
<SELECT NAME=selectname[]> etc

.. the array $selectname appears automatically in the backend when the form is submitted. Note that $selectname is an array. This means that php must automatically create arrays from data POSTed in a particular format.

If we could pass an array in this format in a url or a hidden form then we wouldn't have to do anything on the recieving page. Anyone know what this format is?

Passing Arrays Between Two Pages
I'm trying to pass array values between two pages and on the second page I want to implode the array so I can use its values to interact with my db. This is what I'm doing right now: Code:

Passing Arrays To Functions
How do I pass an array to a function? This is what I have, and the second
function doesn't seem to be getting the array somehow. I'm sure it's in
the function declaration...

function one(){
return $array; // yes, there is more to this function, and assume that
"$array" is a real array
}

funtcion two($arrayArg){ // <- I'm sure the prob is here.
print_r($arrayArg); // This isn't printing anything, when it does in one()
}

then I call:
two(one());

Once again, I'm sure the prob is in the declaration.

Passing $_POST Arrays
I have a form which people fill in, it takes them to a page where the details are all displayed, and they then click on confirm to verify that these details are correct.

I thought the easiest thing to do would be to pass the whole post array through the form on the "confirm" page, then just extract it on the next (processing) page

However, when I try print_r on the value I assigned to the post array, it just says "Array". My code is below, what have I done wrong? Code:

Help Passing Arrays - Serialize Not Working...
I found this example somewhere:

<?php
if( isset($ser1) )
{
$arr1 = urldecode($ser1);
$arr1 = unserialize($arr1);
echo 'First four elements of array:'
echo $arr1[0] . '<br>' . $arr1[1] . '<br>' . $arr1[2] . '<br>' .
$arr1[3] . '<br>'
}
else
{
$arr[] = 'First'
$arr[] = 2;
$arr[] = 'Third'
$arr[] = 4;
$ser = serialize($arr);
$ser = urlencode($ser);
echo '<a href="' . $PHP_SELF . '?ser1=' . $ser . '">Pass</a>'
}
?>

It works fine. But my a href statement is something like this:

echo '<a
href="modules.php?op=modload&name=modname&file=index&req=dosomething&id1=1&
id2=1&text=$ser">Pass</a>'

I simply can not get this to work. It does not pass the serialized data
correctly. If I look in the status bar, it will show text= a:4:{i:0;s:

and then when I click the link it displays

a:4:{i:0;s:5:"First";i:1;i:2;i:2;s:5:"Third";i:3;i:4;}

How on earth do I do this?? Seems like it must be a syntax issue (i.e. my statement has all those &'s and the example does not).

Passing Arrays Through Posts, Gets, And Cookies
I used to use arrays in input data that will be turned into a
superglobal more often, but now that I care more about xHTML validity,
I don't. Validation checking websites (particularly the W3C validator)
yell at me for having square brackets in a name or id attribute. I
started going the simple way of just separating what would be the
array name from what would be the subscript with an underscore and
parsing that out with PHP later. Is there a better, valid way of doing
this that will have PHP set up my multidimensional superglobals for me
as it would with the square brackets?

Passing Checkbox Values Into The Correct Arrays
I've been looking at some code and the net for the past few hours trying to figure out what's wrong and I'm stumped. I have a form - multiple checkboxes (different names) and text fields going into an array. The text fields behave fine - the values from the first entry will populate elements of the first array.

The weird part is that the check boxes will pass the correct values but not always to the correct array element. For example, given two check boxes in a 2 element array, if you check the 1st box in the first element and the 2nd in the second element, on submission, the second element populates the first array element.

I've included a snippet of the code as an example - it's echoing things like crazy because I've been trying to see what's been going on. I hope someone can figure this out for me 'cause I'm completely stuck and am on a deadline. Code:

Passing Arrays From PHP To A Perl Script Run As Exec

I need to run a Perl script at system level that returns a boolean 1 for fine and 0 for an error. Is this at all possible?

Disable Passing Arrays In Query String?

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[]

(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 Arrays And Foreach To Put Into A Mysql Db?
I created 3 arrays with data and i want to insert them i a mysql db. PHP Code:

Multiple Selections, Arrays, And MySQL
OK this place has been great with explaining things that are way over my head, now I could use a boost to get my brain working again. I have a form with a drop down menu with multiple selections. When the form is submitted it shows up in the DB field as "array", as well as the page where I how the form's info. I think I have to set up an array, and loop(?) it, or do I need to implode the array? And how and where would I put these commands on this incredible messy form page. Would someone mind helping me get started?

Here's the form: (please don't make fun of me, I used to a Dreamweaver extension to create the form using PHP, before I decided to try and write this stuff myself. I am re-doing the form but this actually works for now, so I am using it. Code:

MySQL Field Type For Arrays
What type of field type are arrays stuffed into? VARCHAR ? TEXT?

Populating Arrays From MySQL Query
I have the following code: http://pastebin.com/746601

The field 'material' in 'is_material' contains multiple values for each
record in 'is_details'. Because of this I have used
'is_material_lookup' as a reference lookup table containing the
'style_code' and 'material_code' which refer to their full details in
the respective tables.

Currently I have got the script outputting all the details and one
material then in the next block of data, repeating the details with a
different material. What I would like to achieve is having 1 block of
data with a list of all materials in that, instead of the repeat, but
sadly I can't know exactly how to do it.

How To Insert Arrays Into Mysql Database
This is my order.php file. Now I try to make a new php-file for processing the ordered items on this page, into another table "ordered_products" in the database. I want to INPUT following values into the table "ordered_products":
'order_num', 'order_item' and 'order_ant'

I know how to insert rows in a table using the INSERT query, but I don't know how to do it while looping the arrays. I have to fetch the arrays from this page, and insert them row by row in the "ordered_products" table. Code:

Merging 2 Mysql Resultant Arrays
im currently executing sql queries on two seperate mysql servers. i take back each of these results into individual tables to display them.

What i wanted to do was perform a merge of the two arrays, so that i could order the results by my "TimeStamp" field.

When i try to perform a basic " $mergedresult = array_merge($result, $isaresult); " i get the following.

"
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in C:Program Filesxampplitehtdocsseatpub.php on line 164

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in C:Program Filesxampplitehtdocsseatpub.php on line 164 "

Im rather new to this and so havent delt with arrays before, but im under the impression my results from the sql queries, are Assoc arrays. can these be merged ? do i need to use an alternate php function ?

Pesky Checkbox Arrays And A MySQL Song Database
I'm not one who likes to ask for help, so for the last three days my brain has been turning to mush while I try to create a DJ Request Song Wish List. Anyone who can help me out will be saving me from severe insanity. :)

My goal is to:

1. Display search results for song title, artist and genre. (accomplished)
2. Allow the user to add songs to their Wish List. This is done by displaying checkboxes with the corresponding value equal to the songID. (working on it)
3. Allow the user to update their wishlist by adding/deleting songs.

So far I have a form that retrieves the song info from a database in a repeating region. In Dreamweaver:

<input name="songID[]" type="checkbox" id="songID[]" value="<b><?php echo $row_RecordsetSearchResults['Title'];?></b> by <?php echo $row_RecordsetSearchResults['Artist'];?>">

This puts the corresponding songID number into a checkbox value, which in turn is submitted by form POST action to the following page as an array.

To process this array I have:

if(isset($_POST['songID']))
{
$songID = $_POST['songID'];

print '<p>Song IDs:</p>'
// process items
$n = count($songID);
for($i = 0; $i <= $n; $i++)
{
//See if the values are being passed from POST
echo $songID[$i];
echo '<br>'
}
$songsInsert = '*'.implode('*',$_POST['songID']).'<br>'
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO wishlist (Username, Title) VALUES (%s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($MM_Username, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($songsInsert, "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_ToneDeaf, $ToneDeaf);

$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $ToneDeaf) or die(mysql_error());
}

The problem is, I'm using implode. It does store the songs, but only as one long block of text. So if the user picks "New York by Frank Sinatra" and "Hot In Here by Nelly" it is stored as "*New York by Frank Sinatra*Hot In Here by Nelly*" Obviously this gives me no options to make this actually readable, let alone allow the user to remove one of those songs from their list (both would be have to be removed.)

Also, referencing only the songID number as stored in the music database doesn't seem a good option, since the song database will be changing frequently and song data may be overwritten. Not sure if there's a viable workaround there.

Originally I wanted to store Title, Artist, Genre under seperate columns so I could link them to something like "See more songs from this Artist." However the more I read about arrays and multidimensional arrays, I realize I'm not ready to go there yet. (I just started learning PHP two weeks ago.)

Comparing Values Of 2 Arrays Combined With Mysql Field Names
I am trying to create an edithistory table that has a text column into which I will put a string that can be read using strtok later to revert changes if necessary. I want to build this function so that it's dynamic enough to be applied to every table so that I don't have to write one for each table that might be updated.

When a row is added to any table (a new entry), it retrieves the next available editid # from the edithistory table and assigns it to that item in the "edits" column for its row in its own table. Every edit made is a new entry in the edithistory table (entryid auto_increment primary key), and the editid is a reference back to the object being edited. Code:

Passing MySQL Wildcard Into URL
I have a search feature where users can search a database. All works
very well except for one small annoying bug.

If a user searches for anything using wildcards and the '%' is the
FIRST character searched for, my pagination routine doesn't pass the
correct value.

Say the user enters %300. The page displays the correct data for the
first page, indicates that it is page 1 of 11 and when the NEXT link is
clicked, the value changes to 00. I haven't figured out why the %3
drops, however I suspect it may be my use of quotes. Particular code is
below. Can anyone help me?

Platform is Apache on FC3, MySQL and PHP. Browser being used doesn't
matter.

Passing Variables To Mysql
My script works out a variable (the users ip) and then needs to pass it to a mysql table. Quite simple.

But the trciky bit is that I need my php to run this style of script before it posts the data to the sql.

Does the table for this hour exist? y/n (there will only ever be one hour table which needs to be overwritten each hour)
Does the table for this day exist? y/n (there will be a new table for each day)
Does the table for this week exist? y/n (there will be a new table for each week)
Does the table for this month exist? y/n (there will be a new table for each month)

Create the corresponding table if neccesarry.
Post the data to the all the corresponding tables according to the time and date.

By doing this I am keeping all the tables amended and can pull them back into another php file which will read the data and post it accordingly.

Passing A Checkbox Variable To A MySQL Db
Im the webmaster for a boxers website, and rather frequently, the publicist sends me links to articles about the boxer that I need to post. So, I set up a form that allows me to pull the information as needed and post it.

Basically I have it set up to post the Article Title, Article URL, and Article Date, and I call that information from the db. However, on occassion, one of these links will be a press release, and the only thing that changes is that the text Press Release: is added in front of the article title.

I was thinking about creating an extra field in the table called article_pr, and referencing that on the page, and if the row is empty, it would just pull up a space, and if its marked it just pulls up whatever is in there.

However, on the form, I need to have a check box that asks if it is a press release. If so, I would need it to print this in the code Press Release:<br> Is there a way to have the check box indicate whether it will put that code in the db field?

Need A Php Solution
I understand my question might not necessarily be a issue specific
for PHP. However since my current development is conducted with
PHP so I definitely need a PHP solution for it. Here is the situation:

1. A Login form page for user to keyin username/password.
2. After user input correct login info a small window will popup
and the parent window (the login form page) still stay unchanged.
3. If user click "accept" on the popup window then the parent window
changed.

Step 3 is not a big issue for me. But step 2 is a big headaque.

Looking For An ILS Solution
I'm hoping someone knows of an Integrated Library System that
uses PostgreSQL.

The group I'm working for had an old system and decided to upgrade.
Previously, they were using PHP, MySQL and Koha (www.koha.org) to run
their library interface. The new system they have is PostgreSQL, which
means I cannot use Koha anymore. Converting the MySQL dump has been
hard enough. The Postgres version is 7, so it seems that exporting the
dump with phpMyAdmin does not want to work. But thats a different
problem all together.

So I need to find a replacement for Koha, all I've seem to come up with
is a list of ILSs (http://www.anctil.org/users/eric/oss4ils.html) that
either use MySQL, or only come in a completely different language. If
anyone has any ideas or could point me in the right direction

Passing A Variable From A Form To A MySql Query
I have a form set up with a dropdown list of values for a field "Genre" in my database

I can pass the variable to my php script. I know this because I use:

echo "<h1> Query result for Genre = ","$Genre", "</h1>";

And the page prints the appropriate value chosen from the form.

I'm trying to use the $Genre variable in a mysql query to select records which match.

Trouble Passing Mysql Table Name To Php Function And Using It!
Trouble passing mysql table name in php. If I use an existing table
name already defined everything works fine as the following script

Help Require For Map Solution
Here is a problem which i'm facing. Now i'm working on a site in which a user will provide the pincode(zipcode) of two positions and a line will
be draw on that map between the two pincodes(zipcodes). Now the solution which i found requires a databse storing the details of longitutde and latitude for
each pincode(zipcode). Also we do need to provide the latitudinal and longitudinal range of that particular map. Now i want to ask you friends if anybody has got any better solution which is more effective.
