Re: [PHP-DB] Inserting date into a table

I have created the table below:

CREATE TABLE questions (ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,name 
VARCHAR(30),day TIMESTAMP, question TEXT, email VARCHAR(30),answer TEXT, 
PRIMARY KEY(ID));

I want to insert into the TIMESTAMP field the date automatically. How 
can I do it using the  insert command

INSERT INTO $table 
VALUES('','$name','TIMESTAMP','$question','$email','NULL');
Two ways:

1: INSERT INTO $table (name, question, email) VALUES 
('$name','$question','$email')

This way, the ID and TIMESTAMP columns will be populated automatically. 
The ID column will get the next available number and the day column 
will be assigned the current date/time. Note how you can leave out the 
answer column, too, since you weren't assigning a value to it, anyhow. 
It will be given the default value of the column, which in this case is 
NULL.

2: INSERT INTO $table (name, day, question, email) VALUES 
('$name',NULL,'$question','$email')

Setting the TIMESTAMP column to NULL will cause it to be set to the 
current date/time. This works for the first TIMESTAMP column in a table 
(since you only have one, it doesn't matter).

I recommend method 1.

[PHP-DB] db query problem

2004-04-24 Thread Jimmy Brock
I'm using MS SQL Server 2000 and I have a table called tasks with the
following schema:

id= int identity 1 1 not null
standardId= varchar(15) not null
userId= varchar(15) not null
status= varchar(15) not null
beginDt= datetime
endDate=datetime
active=char(1) // flag 1=display 0=do not display

I need to return records based on userId and standardId. Assume I have the
following
five records:

userId: jimmy standardId: EC.01.10
userId: jimmy standardId: RI.03.20
userId: karen standardId: PC.02.40
userId: sally standardId: EC.01.10
userId: ted   standardId: RI.03.20
userId: joe   standardId: EC.01.10

These are the results I need to return:

All of jimmy's records: where userId='jimmy'
I also need to return all records that match all of jimmy's standardId(s),
in other words, I need to return in all other records where
standardId='EC.01.10 or
standardId='RI.03.20 (without duplicating jimmy's results). Which in this
scenario would be userId sally, joe, ted

I also need to group the records by standardId.

Can this be done in a subquery or is two queries required?

Having worked mostly with MySQL I dont' have a lot of experience with
subqueries.

Any suggestions on the best way to approach this probelm?

Since you didn't mention what database you are using I'm assuming MySQL.

You might want to contact someone at gtk.php.net to see what going on with
this newsgroup. The last I heard they were planning on a new release for gtk
for php 5.

[PHP-DB] move_uploaded_file

2004-04-24 Thread matthew perry
I have a file uploading function that works well on my local server.
It finds a picture and uploads it into a defined directory.
Unfortunately this function does not work when I try to upload to my web 
host.
It says I do not have the proper permissions.

I believe this has to do with the fact that my web host requires a user 
name and password for all file transfers for security reasons.
I still want my users to be able to upload files or pictures to my web 
host (if I have granted them proper access through my log in).
How do I indicate the correct login sequence for my web host with a 
function like move_uploaded_file?

Matthew, if you are the confident that your function
works correctly, your next check should be on what
permissions you have to the defined directory on your
web host's server.

If you are on a UNIX/Linux based box, you probably
only have write permissions to your /home/logon_name
directory.  So if you are trying to write to some
directory outside of that, you are probably
restricted, which explains the error message from you
web server.

I'm not familiar enough with directory structures on
Windows-based web servers, but I imagine it is similar
to UNIX/Linux in restricting you to your user path.

Windows works a bit different. You have to define which folders and files
get access to the internet. After that you can specify the web
permissions using the iis snap in. This is of course if you're using iis.
I'm not sure for apache or other servers handle it.
