Book Recommendation
I am looking for a book that will help me understand PHP/MySQL, and the way that they work together. My biggest problem is multi-valued selections, and INSERTING them into the database. A book with great examples like that would be a huge help. Also, any websites that could do the same would be great too. Thanks, nick
Problems Updating Database
I have a registration script that inserts data into the database, and then emails you an activation code to activate your account. The problem is that when I click on the link in the email, the account does not get updated. The portion of the script that has a problem is this: $query = UPDATE users SET active=NULL WHERE user_id=$x AND active=' . escape_data($y) . ' LIMIT 1; $result = mysql_query ($query) or trigger_error(Query: $query\nbr /MySQL Error: . mysql_error()); I do not believe this is a PHP problem because the error states that it is most likely a MySQL error. If anyone can see the problem, can you please let me know what it is. I have been looking at this for about three days now, and I can't figure it out. The registration page does update the DB (MySQL 3.24.49), but the activation page does not. Thank you, Nick
RE: Problems Updating Database
$x and $y work perfectly, and I believe the problem is the trigger function. Thanks to everyone who helped, and as soon as I get a chance to update and fix, I will try it.

Why not just use the built-in error handling? In any case, what error message do you get? HTH - Miles -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Alter Problem
I am working on a script that looks at the MySQL Table, checks to see if there
are any matches, and if there are, alter the table to add the requested
information. Here is the code I am using:
script
$query = ALTER profile (acct_type, username, firstname, lastname, email,
addr1, city, state, zip, nude, artistic, model_look, about_you, why_model,
genre) VALUES ('$at', '$un', '$fn', '$ln', '$e', '$ad1', '$c', '$st', '$zc',
'$nd', '$art', '$ml', '$ay', '$wm', '$g');
/script
What am I doing wrong? The error comes back saying that this is where the
problem is, and I have changed it from UPDATE to ALTER because I was trying to
get the information to be added to the table of an already registered user.
Nick
Re: Alter Problem
A quick question. I do not have `userid` setup in my script to update my
table. Right now it is setup like this: $query = SELECT userid FROM
profile WHERE username = '$un';
So when I go to change my usernamre, it creates a new row in the table with
all the info. What would be the best way to use `userid`?
Thanks,
nick

Nick,
Just to add to what Peter said, and so you do not inadvertently shoot
yourself in the foot, have a look at some tutorials, like this one:
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/
which appears to be divided into sections appropriate to operations on the
database.
Then check the MySQL docs for specifics on SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE.
Fortunately your ALTER TABLE statement was incorrect, otherwise you would
have destroyed the table and lost all of your data.

Checkboxes
I am trying to allow a user to use checkboxes for multiple selections, and I am trying to get the database to record the choices made by the user. I am using a VARCHAR(250), but I am guessing that may be wrong. Also, other than adding a [] to the end of the 'name' (e.g. input type=checkbox name=mod_type[] value=alternative /Alternativebr /), what do I need to do? I hope I am asking this question correctly. If not, please feel free to flame me. Nick
Images Table
I am looking to create a database that holds the location of images on my server. I was wondering if anyone could help me understand if I am doing it correctly, and if I either need to add, change or remove something from the current table code. img_idINTNOT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY, user_id INTNOT NULL, location VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, imgtype VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, img_tag VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, img_rate VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, img_commentsVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, KEY (img_id); Thanks for any help. nick

If you are using an apt-based system, type 'apt-cache search mysql' That should bring up some programs you can install from. nick - Original Message - From: Daniel da Veiga [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 1:12 PM Subject: Re: Rekall On 7/7/06, Timothy Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've used the KDE program rekall to a small extent in the past, in order to set up and populate MySQL tables on a remote machine.

Insertion Problem
Hello all,
I am trying to get this script to INSERT a couple of records into my DB, but
I am getting these errors. I know the second warning has nothing to do with
MySQL, so I will work on figuring out that portion later today.
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\test\username.php on line 7
The following users on yoursystem are:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in c:\program
files\easyphp1-8\www\test\username.php on line 9
I am not sure why this is is happening, but my PHP script goes like this...
script
?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
require_once ('mysql_connect-local.php'); // Connect to the database.
$query = SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY username ASC;
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);
echo The following users on yoursystem are:br /;
foreach ($_POST['users'] AS $users) echo
tabletrtd$user_id/tdtd$username/tdtd$firstname/tdtd$lastname/tdtd$email/td/tr/table;
}
?
/script
Any help is appreciated.

Multiple Entries
If I have a multiple choice on a form and want to store that in my DB, then how should I set up my table? I have been reading up on these, but everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to accomplish this task. What I am looking to do give the user a few options to check when submitting a form. select name=sports multiple id=sport_type option value=baseballBaseball/option option value=footballFootball/option option value=soccerSoccer/option option value=hockeyHockey/option /select Would my table look like this: CREATE TABLE sports ( sports_id int(11) not null auto_incremement, sport_name text not null, primary key (sports_id) ); INSERT INTO `tbl_options` VALUES (1, 'Baseball'); INSERT INTO `tbl_options` VALUES (2, 'Football'); INSERT INTO `tbl_options` VALUES (3, 'Soccer'); INSERT INTO `tbl_options` VALUES (4, 'Hockey'); ... Would using text as the way to store make it easier to retrieve the data in a manner that would be readable on a web page? Thanks, Nick
New to the group
Hello, My name is Nick, and I am a new MySQL user. My hope is not to become a PITA, so I will make sure that any question is straight and to the point with the information needed to answer the question. My skill in MySQL is pretty low, and I am looking to build a website for myself that will take information and save it to a database. At this time, I have a login, registration, change/lost password functionality working from a book that I read, but I am looking to expand my knowledge into more robust site. I am not looking to become the master programmer, just someone with enough knowledge and skill to accomplish his goals. Thanks, Nick
