Split Text Into Two Columns
I want to be able to split the contents of a text field into two or maybe three columns. The text field contains text AND HTML mark-up. My initial thought was to find the middle character and then go to the nearest space and split the text that way, but it sometimes splits in the middle of an HTML tag: not pretty! My next idea was to strip the HTML tags from the text and then split it up and then reapply the HTML tags, but I am not sure this would work either. Has anyone come across this problem and do you have a solution or know of one? I would really appreciate it.

Query Results In 2 Columns?
I'm struggling to figure out how to do this properly. I have done a mySQL query to extract a list of names, and done a mysql_num_rows to determine how many results I've gotten. I want to split the list in to two columns. I've created $percol = $mysql_num_rows/2 but I'm not quite sure how to "loop" through the first half of the list, echo </td><td> and then list the balance. Can anyone give me some guidance on how best to structure this?
Putting Results Into Columns
I am creating a directory of businesses for a web site. There are 8 main categories (dining, bars, entertainment, etc) and when a user clicks on a category it takes them to a page that lists all the businesses (and phone numbers) in that category in alphabetical order. The problem I have is that it does so in one big long column. Can anyone help me alter the code to display the results in 3 columns? I do want to keep them in alphabetical order, however if that is straight across or down does, it does not really matter to me. And I am fine with losing the Character (A, B, C, etc) header above each set if needed. Code:

Searching Several Columns In MYSQL
I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I am trying to search multiple columns on a single database and display the info. I have this set up but it only queries one. $query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT * FROM database WHERE column1 LIKE '%%%s%%'", $colname_rsSearch); The above works fine for one column but I am having difficulty making it search more than one, I have been trying this method. $query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT * FROM database WHERE column1,column2 LIKE '%%%s%%'", $colname_rsSearch); But continually get error messages?
Searching Multiple Mysql Columns
I'm currently building a database of local businesses, I'm quite new to using php and mysql. While I'm mostly managing to stumble my through it, a couple of things are confusing me. This is one of the things. If anyone can help, that would be really great. Ok, so I've build a search page, and a results page and it works great but there is one problem. Currently it will only search through the 'name' column, but I'd also like it to search through the 'type' column at the same time. This is the code I'm using to fetch the results $colname_Businesses = "-1"; if (isset($_POST['search_par'])) { $colname_Businesses = $_POST['search_par']; } mysql_select_db($database_HBBA_DATABASE, $HBBA_DATABASE); $query_Businesses = sprintf("SELECT * FROM Businesses WHERE name LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString("%" . $colname_Businesses . "%", "text")); $query_limit_Businesses = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Businesses, $startRow_Businesses, $maxRows_Businesses); $Businesses = mysql_query($query_limit_Businesses, $HBBA_DATABASE) or die(mysql_error()); $row_Businesses = mysql_fetch_assoc($Businesses); I'm not sure what to add in to make it also search through the 'type' column or where to put that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Break MySQL Records Into CSS Columns Automatically
I'm making a page of links, each assigned a category. There are two tables - "favourites_links" and "favourites_categories". This is how the links currently appear: Category 1 Name Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Category 2 Name Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 What I want to do is break my page into columns. Basically, set a number of columns (e.g. 3), count the total records, and work out how many records to show per column. Each column should be enclosed in a <div class="column"> wrapper, which floats to the left. Code:
How Do You Split A String Using Split()?
I have this PHP statement which works fine and breaks down a string of lines delimited with a into an array. $arrList=split("", $strList); But what I really want is to be able to tell it to split out only the strings that start with the letter "b". E.g. I thought this would work "bW" I tried every regular expression but cant figure it out. I could use some other function combinations to achive this but I though if there is a way to do it with just split()...
Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
For example, when I do a database search for a term I get 2 results but the $num_rows says there are 3 results. I suspect it's because there are similar keywords within different search fields of the SQL statement. But I am stumped as to how I can change this. Any Suggestions? the code:

Hyperlinked MySQL Results W/PHP
I was wondering how results to db querys have attached links to each individual result? I have a good grasp of basic PHP & MySQL, but don't understand how that works. For example, if you have a db of products, all with individual id #, how do you get one product from the query a <ahref>? Could someone explain?

Splitting MySQL Results
So I have a database, and I want to split the results into 2 columns. I don't want to alternate them, but have the first half in the left column, and the second half in the right column. How can I handle this so that it does it automatically no matter what number of entries (and so that if it's an odd number, the one overflow is on the left).
Parsing PHP Code In MySQL Results Set?
I have a PHP script that pulls content from an MySQL database and returns a result set. Is there a way I can put PHP code within a field in the database and have that code parsed as PHP code on returning a results set? If possible, I want just one field of the database parsed for PHP code. The results set is return as a straight result, not within a loop. Just inserting the <? PHP code thus ?> returns that as sources code not parsed.
Populating Array With Mysql Results
I'm returning a result set of one field in a table, and want to populate an array with the results.

Store Mysql Results Into An Array
i just started using php. i've used it before as a maintainer. fun stuff. well now i'm the writer. i want to abstract all the DB commands away from myself and all other developers. so i'm writing a function to query the php database from all users of the database and store them into an array as a return value so that i can seperate my database code from my html creation code. 1. is there a way to put all my database functions into a php file and include that file into all my other php pages? similiarly to a #include in C++ or a import package name in Java? 2. my code to run down the fetched results and store them into an array doesn't seem to be working the way i want it to. if i print out the results from the mysql returned fetch the data is fine. however the array seems to print out "Array[elementnumber]" instead of the value. Code:
Mysql Results <-- Previous Row, And Next Row, Showing Next Ok
I query a database and return a result on the column "reference". There might be 7 listings. Each row is displayed in a table, with links through to a detail page. I am working on having a "previous" record and a "next" record link on the detail page. This code below works, for the "next" record, by searching the values in the array $myarray for the variable $ref. It then returns the key value and the key value, as a number, is deducted by one and plus'd by one to give me the previous row and the next row. Returning the value of the next row works a treat, but for some reason the previous row, deduct 1, while it echoes a value to screen, doesn't work. This is the code: (query database and then:) //$ref is a variable carried into the page $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result2); $i=0; while ($i < $num_rows) { $next=mysql_result($result2,$i,"reference"); ++$i; $myarray = array("$i"=>"$next"); foreach($myarray as $key=>$value) { if ($value == "$ref"){ $b=($key); $c=($key+1); $a=($key-1); }} if ($a == "0") { echo "No Preceding Record"; } else { if ($key == "$a") echo "<a href=../detail/index.php?name=$value>Previous Record</a>"; } if ($key == "$b") echo "This is the current Record"; if ($num_rows < $c) { echo "Records End"; } else { if ($key == "$c") echo "<a href=../detail/index.php?name=$value>Next Record</a>"; } } } else {

Counting Results From A Mysql Database
I want to know how many results throw a query in order to know if they have reached a limit.I.E. $sql = mysql_query ("select * from classifieds where user='$username'"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){} I want to check lets say that only 10 classifieds per 'username' can be created.

Alternating Row Colors With MySQL Results
Is there any way i could make a image for the alternating row colors instead of a strait bold color, for instance: $color1 = "#CCFFCC"; $color2 = "#BFD8BC"; Would there be anyway to link an image in there? I have tried it this way: $color1 = "<img src='..style1.jpg'>"; $color2 = "<img src='..style2.jpg'>";
MySQL Query Not Returning All Results
I have a user table in the DB, for example: +---------+----------------+-------------------+ | uid | username | firstname | |----------+----------------+------------------+ | 1 | cobby | Andrew | | 2 | admini | test-account | +---------+-----------------+------------------+ If, in phpMyAdmin, I query: SELECT `username` FROM `users`; It will return results correctly (cobby and admini, respectively). But if I make a simple PHP script, such as: <?php mysql_connect('localhost', 'cobby', 'dbpass'); mysql_select_db('testdb'); $query = mysql_query('SELECT `username` FROM `users`'); print_r(mysql_fetch_assoc($query)); ?> It only returns: Array ( [username] => admini ) Why does it only return the second result? I have a feeling I'm doing something really silly, but I looked over this test script and its got me stumped.

Merging Results From Two Mysql Databases
I have made two websites on seperate servers both with a database of their own. They are identical but with different results in the databases. I want to make a page on one of the sites that will merge the information from both databases. e.g. site 1 has a list in date order site 2 has a list in date order I want site 1 to have the list merged together to form one big list but still be in date order. Also I want to be able to have the results of site 2 in a different font colour to site 1. i.e. Site 1 results 10th jan - something 15th jan - something else 19th jan - more Site 2 results 11th jan - even more 13th jan - some more 16th jan - more stuff Merged page 10th jan - something 11th jan - even more 13th jan - some more 15th jan - something else 16th jan - more stuff 19th jan - more can anyone help with this?
Using Arrays With Mysql Query Results

Displaying MySQL Results As URLs

Presenting MySQL Results In A Paged Format.
I am developing a classified ad script using php4 and MySQL. My problem is: I want to display only 10 results of a dB search on each page. At the botton of the page, I'd like to add forward and back links so that people can go forwards and backwards through the search results, with each page showing 10 results. Can anyone point me towards a pre-existing script or example I can learn from?
Displaying X Number Of MySQL Results Per Page
I'm writing a search on a MySQL DB, and everything so far has just gone swimmingly. I've got a "results per page" drop down box in my form, with a few different values. At the moment, I'm just using: while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result) to output results to screen. I'm not too sure how to go about it, but I did have two thoughts: 1) Suck the results into a multi-dimensional array, and pass the array to a display results script (not sure if you can pass arrays to other scripts??? 2) Display x number of results, then have the "Next" (or 2, 3... ) links call the search again, but displaying results x+1 - x+x. 1 sounds like too much trouble, and 2 sounds inefficient. Not too sure how else to go about it. Any info / thoughts you guys have would be much appreciated. On a side note, how do you look at a specific row in the result?
Caching MySQL Search Query & Results
I'm developing a site that may eventually have a very large database of users (hopefully, but who knows). It will be a community website where users can search each other (think Friendster, Classmates, every dating site out there, etc.). Often there will be queries with multiple joins and sometimes may include a few fulltext searches. Each page of results will have a limited number of results displayed (obviously). As I understand it, MySQL caches only exact queries, so doing a LIMIT (x,y) on each query to get results for the specific page will cause MySQL to run the entire query again, instead of pulling from the cache. I will limit the results to 1000, but what's the best way to limit results per page? I was thinking that I could run the SELECT and LIMIT to 1000, then do a mysql_data_seek to jump to the starting row for the page and fetch a certain number of rows for the page. For each page, the exact same SELECT would be used and therefore the results would be cached. Also, how should I save the search query? The users will be searching with any number of search terms, way too many to do use GET variables. I don't want to create a hidden form with each search term as hidden inputs (for one, that's kind of lame). I was thinking of saving the search query to the database, I guess I could implode the POST array into a string and then save it in the db.
