newbie SELECT question
Hi, I have a table containing page referral URLs gleaned from users browsing my website. Is there a way for me to use SELECT based on a portion record's contents? eg table contents: http://www.yahoo.com/adirectory/apage.htm http://google.net/adirectory/anotherpage.php I wish to return only the portion between the // and /. Sort of a //*/ thing so I can use COUNT with this to allow me to build a table in PHP of the most popular root domains which go to my site. I hope this all makes sense ;-) kind regards, Graham Nichols.
Syntax query
Hi, I have a directory of professional magicians, consisting of a MySQL table like this: +-++-+ | artist | area| magic | +-++-+ | Joe Bloggs | AZ*IN*TX | childrens | +-++-+ | Fred Smith | All | close-up | +-++-+ A surfer will select an area and then the type of magic they require via a php/HTML form. So to locate a performer who does magic for children in Texas I use SELECT * FROM artist WHERE (area LIKE '%$area%' OR area = 'All') AND magic LIKE '%$magic%' (where $area and $magic are variables passed from PHP). However, this does not give the desired result, it just returns any perfomer who does magic for children. What am I doing wrong please? I've tried several other syntax combinations without success. kind regards, Graham Nichols. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

mysql timing out? HELP!!!!
Hi, I have a customer who has a html page containing two frames on server A. The content files for these frames are on server B. He wants to keep his URL which is directed to server A, but server B has mysql and php support so we have to do this to accomodate him. It is working (kind of) but the second frame (php/mysql) is not loading and I think it is because the java navigation script in the first frame is slow so the second frame has to wait to load and it times out. Does this sound reasonable? If so, how can I increase the timeout time for the mysql/php server to get round this please? ANY help would be very much appreciated as I'm against the clock. I've been told that if I don't get it working by tomorrow morning (it's 23:15 here now) I am out of a job. Any advice appreciated. Guess I'll be here all night on this kamikaze mission. best, Graham - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Correct DISTINCT syntax
What I'm trying to achieve is is a srfer visits the site each page visited will be inserted into the database. So, if the surfer visits 5 pages there will be 5 records inserted. Initially, I need to know that this is just ONE hit (one IP), with the next surfer to vist being the second IP. That day would then show 2 hits not five hits for the first surfer plus the pages visited by the second. regards, Graham Previous post shown below - Hi, I'm using MYSQL version 3.22.32. I have read that from version 3.23.xx COUNT can be used in combination with DISTINCT. However, I have a project deadline which does not give me time to upgrade. I have a small table 'web-stats' consisting of the following fields: IP_address web_date web_time web_referer browser page I am using a PHP script to insert entries into this table as a rudimentary hit counter.

Correct syntax?
Thanks for help from this group I'm using "select word, count(word) as total from search_words group by word order by total desc limit 20" to locate the top 20 words in a database of website search engine words. The database had been altered to include an extra column, other than the 'word' column. This means that 'word' can now have a null entry sometimes. How can I modify the sql query above to exclude any row(s) in 'word' with 'NULL' please? regards, Graham l - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

mysqld daemon ended
Hi, I have installed mysql 3.22.32 on our local intranet for testing and it runs ok. Then, I transferred the same .tar file to a linux server of the 'net and installed as before. When I run ./scripts/safe_mysqld from the mysql-3.22.32 directory I get a message telling me that the daemon has started and then it appears to die with a 'mysqld daemon ended' message. Does anyone know what may be wrong please? Many thanks, Graham
