Re: [PHP-DB] SQL update help
When in doubt, bracket :
$sql = UPDATE $table SET pages = '{$PHP_SELF}' WHERE session =
'{$holy_cow}';
Less cute, but more readable.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] SQL update help
Jeffrey is right, but here's an easier way:
$sql = UPDATE $table SET pages = '$PHP_SELF' WHERE session =
'$holy_cow';
Be sure you use double-quotes to build the string (so that all variables
get interpolated) and single-quotes within. Any non-numeric value has to be
quoted for an SQL statement to work properly.
Good luck!

[PHP-DB] SQL file,
in an example I saw in a book while I was leafing through it at barnes and nobles I saw a .sql file. It appeared to have the schema for a db in it. I was wondering what exactly what it is and how one could use it in a php application like he was doing. Thanks, Bryan
Re: [PHP-DB] SQL file,
Typically, it is a text file that has SQL in it. Like: CREATE DATABASE some_name ( ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, NAME varchar(30), etc Usually they are used to store the database information, and can be used in many of the database systems. Within the database itself, there is a command to insert from a file. Not sure off the top of my head, but the help menu should provide that information, then the database would go through your file and execute those commands as if you were entering them in manually on the command line. Espescially helpful for huge tables where you might be open to a typo, and have to start all over.

Re: [PHP-DB] SQL file,
I don't think it quite works that way through PHP. You could send the _contents_ of the file through PHP, like open the file, and read it into a buffer, and send that as a query. I actually create the files and then go into my database system (MySQL -or- PostgreSQL) and then execute a command. I think for MySQL it is: mysql \i name_of_file and then that will step through the file executing the SQL statements. -Brad Bryan McLemore wrote: So I would send the file through with a sql query? -Bryan - Original Message - From: Brad Bonkoski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bryan McLemore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: PHP DB LIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2002 8:18 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] SQL file, Typically, it is a text file that has SQL in it.

Re: [PHP-DB] SQL file,
from the mysql invoked by ? while in the mysql client the command \. is what you use. the blurb after is Execute a SQL script file. Takes a file name as an argument. Dump a file with phpMyAdmin you get a sql file. at least in Windows you do so I assume you do in non windows OS'es also.

[PHP-DB] Opening files
I am trying to use text and images from separate files to populate descriptions and images for specific queries. I have used something like echo img src=$row[image]; with little success (parse error expecting , or ; - on the line in question). I assume that I would have to use fopen for the text but have not found a suitable example. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Michael Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] (703) 968-8875

The problem is your usage, you can do something like echo img src='$variable_name'; Or Echo img src=' . $row[image] . ''; Erick Bonilla P.d.

Re: [PHP-DB] how do I echo this statement to the browser? -solved
Thanks for the tip, I solved it a little differently - sql1=select f_name, l_name, count(*) as 'Attendance' from kids group by l_name; sql2=select count(distinct kids_id) as 'total' from kids; I added a new column to the database called kids_id, so when a new kid is added he/she gets assigned a number, if a record is added for an existing kid the new record keeps the existing kids_id, making it simple to count only distinct kids_id's. The input form lists the kids_id, f_name, l_name as a link to edit their record, and delete for a delete link, in the left column, and in the right is the form for input/editing. The kids list is ordered by kids_id, making it easy to know what id's already exist, or don't yet. -- Chip On Sat, 2002-09-21 at 01:39, Ignatius Reilly wrote: This is a query requiring two different levels of aggregation.
