Probably because nobody wants to risk offending John--or (more likely)
because no one will admit knowing who the "other" John Holmes is ;-)

Hi All,
I am trying to get the results of a function, which queries MySQL, back into
an array for me to order. I only want to print out certain fields (I call
the same query, but use different fields in different places).
This works is I print out the fields in the function itself:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row["id"] . "<br>";
}
This however prints out an unending list of values:
/* This is where I think it's getting messed up, since it doesnt seem to be
able to store the "query" in a variable. I suspect it's something to do
recursive and multi-dimension arrays
http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/language.types.array.php*/
$mysql_query = mysql_fetch_array($result);
while($row = $mysql_query) {
echo $row["id"] . "<br>";
}
Can someone perhaps show me how to do it (or point me in the right
direction), since I need to do this:
function ReturnSQLResults() {
....................
$mysql_query = mysql_fetch_array($result);
return $mysql_query;
}
And then be able to just print the fields I require.
Thanks in advance!!!
Terence

It depends on exactly how your data is formatted, which you don't tell us.
I'm going to assume your query returns two values, id and name, and you want
them returned as a dictionary.
Probably the simplest way is to build an array as you iterate over the
query, then return it. Something like:
function ReturnSQLResults() {
....................
$result = array ();
$rs = $mysql_query($sql);
if ($rs == FALSE)
{
return (NULL);
}
while (($row = mysql_fetch_array ($rs)) != FALSE)
{
$result[$row['id']] = $row['name'];
}
if (sizeof ($result) == 0)
{
return (FALSE);
}
return ($result);
}
You now have a function that returns NULL on error, FALSE if no records were
found, else an array of (id => name)
If you're returning more than two values, you'll probably want your array
structure to be:
(id => array(firstname, lastname))
in which case try
$result [$row['id']] = array ($row['firstname', $row['lastname']);
if you just want a straight array-of-arrays, something like
((id, firstname, lastname), (id, firstname, lastname))
then
$result[] = array($row['id', $row['firstname', $row['lastname')
will do it.

Thanks you,
I'm not understant, in version PHP 4.2.2 ext. modul interbase is OK. Function
ibase_execute, write with parameter work OK.
I'm change in ext. modul interbase function ibase_execute, now is working OK.

Personally, I prefer to use the @ error-suppression operator for this:

Hi all:
A question to ask all PHP programmers out there...
Right now I am doing a timetable system whereby in each cell, it will display
a class code eg.3PE1234. But right now I want it to be in the way that I want
the user to be able to add the class code to the table cell through a user
interface. I was thinking I could put a "-"(dash) in all my cell which will be
clickable. When user click on this "dash" they will be directed to a user
interface with a drop down menu of class codes. (Class codes are retrieved
from database). I will then select the class code I would like to put into
this cell. Once submit, I will be linked back to the timetable , this time the
cell should display the class code I have added to the cell earlier on. Any
idea how can I go about doing this??...But anyway, I find this solution is
not ass user friendly as user will have to add class codes to the cell by a
clicking "cell-by-cell".
As each cell represents which day and what time the class will be
held. I was thinking of an alternate solution whereby I can create an user
interface such that when I have a drop down menu displaying the time eg.
1. 12.00-14.00
2. 14.00-16.00
3. 16.00-18.00
etc.....
and another drop down displaying the day (in my case, it is display as the
column) eg.
1. Monday
2.Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday
5. Friday
etc....
and then lastly the drop down menu to display my class where I can select the
class I want to add to the cell on that particular DAY and TIME
For example, I would like to add the class "3PM1010" to the cell when the time
is "12.00-14.00" and the day is on "Monday", and thus I will select the
prospective value from each of the drop down menu from the above drop down
menu.
I hope I have made myself clear enough and really hope to receive some help
real soon. If there should be any doubts, feel free to drop me an email.
All help are greatly appreciated.
Warmest regards,
Irin.

Do you have this problem (your PHP page times out) or do is this the
desired result? For the latter, you've been answered, for the former it
might be a core error in your code which PHP can't handle -- in this
case the results are unpredictable, I typically get a "document contains
no data" error, but I guess you could also get a time out, depending on
the web server and its version. If this is the case, make a copy of the
script and start chopping out pieces from it until you don't get the
error anymore. The last chunk you deleted contains the problem. :)

I changed a value for max uploads in my php.ini file (linux box); I
restarted apache, then the whole server, to get the new value to come up
and, generally, take affect.
Neither of those things did it. Does anyone know what I need to do to get
the ini file re-read by the OS, or system, so that the new value goes into
effect?
Thanks,

In your upload dialog form do you have something similar to this
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000">
if so, it may need changing. If not, it may need adding.

Oh, yes, this is a big one, you must reset the whole state power grid. :)
Simply restarting Apache should do it. Check if your problem doesn't
come from somewhere else - how are you checking if the changes took
effect? Also, are you sure you're editing the proper php.ini and not
some older install's or a backup or something? Check by setting some
self-evident setting in php.ini and restarting Apache. Also, if you're
sending the data to a database, make sure it's not the database who's
barfing due to its own config settings or limitations.

I do have that in my form, it is set to 15 megs. I set the server (php.ini)
to allow 15 megs. Still can't get anything past 2 megs to upload. :\

I'll go double check to make sure I am hitting the right php.ini, but I
think that is the only one the server reported with a 'whereis'.
I am taking the data and writing it to a file, so the db isn't an issue.
I'll mess with some of other settings and see what happens.
:)

post_max_size is another setting that has effect on uploads. It should
be higher than upload_max_filesize.

Hi,
Not sure if this is a PHP or Browser issue but here is my problem:
I have a site that has a members section. In the news area, when a user
clicks the link for an article, it pops open a new window a requests the
article via a PHP script.
What's happening is that when the new window pops up, the script isn't
getting the session info properly. I changed it so that the page opens
up in the main window instead of a new one and it works fine.
I presume this is because the browser is not sending the session ID to
the script when opening the new window. Does anyone know of a way for me
to fix this without embedding the session ID in the URL?
I thought the only criteria that the browser used when deciding if to
send a Session ID or not was if the page is located at the same domain
name.
P.S. Its Internet Explorer 6 I am using.
Thanks.

Just a quick update:
It seems to only be a problem with Internet Explorer on the PC. Both IE
& Safari on MacOSX work as expected.
