[PHP-DB] stuck on stupid...can't find the bloody error...
okay, please help the newbie idiot. Forgive me, for I cannot code my way out of a
paper bag.
What, O great Oracle of PHP Goodness is wrong with this picture? When I punch in a
work order, it spits back a blank page and does nothing whatsoever with the db. Even
if I deliberately enter a work order number that already exists. Help this
feeble-minded programmer wannabe?
Oh, as to the \' madness down yonder: should I or shouldn't I backslash the single
quotes?
TIA
Dan

echo form action=\add.php\ method=\get\; echoform action=\add.php?action=$page_req\ method=\get\; Try that first, and see if it fixes your issue.

[PHP-DB] Using $_SESSION array for large number of variables. Any recommendations?
Hi all, System : Windows XP / Apache / MySql / PHP I'm considering using session variables to store a large amount of data. How much is 'large'? To be honest, I have no idea at this point - very early days. For arguments sake, lets say the system consisted of 100 users who will all store between them say 1000 different variables and objects for a period of 1 or 2 days. In a nutshell, reason for storing this info is to save the state of php programs. Is this approach advisable, or are there limits / other considerations when using session variables? I would greatly appreciate peoples comments on potential problems pursuing this approach from anyone with extensive experience using session vars. Thanks ... Ross .

No need to escape the single quotes. Not entirely sure if it's invalid
or not, but it's unneccessary.
$result_insert = @mysql_query ($query_insert);
if ($result_insert == ) {
echo input type=\hidden\ name=\action\ value=\0\\n;
echo INPUT type=\submit\ value=\Continue\\n;
}
else {echo OOPS! Your programmer is an idiot!\n;}
Try this:
if (([EMAIL PROTECTED]($query_insert)) != FALSE) {
... echo HTML ...
}
else {echo Oops! Your programmer is broken. Oh and here's what MySQL
said: br /\n.mysql_error();}
Hopefully that works for you. I think the problem may be the escapes
quotes. Cheers,
Andy

Not sure on the actual limitations in modern browsers, but you probably shouldn't store more than 20 cookies, and they probably should not exceed 1024 bytes per cookie. Furthermore, all the cookie data is transmitted from the client on each hit, so there are practical limitations with bandwidth as well. -- Kelly Hallman -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Using $_SESSION array for large number of variables. Any recommendations?
Hi, I would suggest a mysql table for the data. For large amounts it is probably more efficient - not sure how much resource is needed to manage 100K pieces of information using $_SESSION, but an indexed mysql table is probably much quicker. table CREATE TABLE `session_data` ( `userID` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL , `var_name` VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL , `var_data` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `userID` , `var_name` ) ); you then retrieve the data at the beginning of each page request. This is also persistent, so it will be there for as long as needed. If you have a login system this also allows the user to switch machines or browsers - $_SESSION is linked to the browser. From experience this works well. hth Peter --- Excellence in internet and open source software --- Sunmaia Birmingham UK www.sunmaia.net tel : 0121-242-1473 fax : 0870 7621758 International +44-121-242-1473 --- -Original Message- From: Jimmy Brock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 April 2004 00:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: Using $_SESSION array for large number of variables.

[PHP-DB] How to display table columns

[PHP-DB] Re: How to display table columns
I think what you may be looking for is the DESCRIBE command. It allows you to get information about table columns. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/DESCRIBE.html Andy Andy Amol wrote: hi, I want to display the table coulumns along with those values below it.

Re: [PHP-DB] How to display table columns
Well, you would create a table like this
echo tabletrtdname/tdtdage/tdtdsex/td/tr;
Then, you would do a query (assuming you've already made a connection to
your database)...
$result = mysql_query(SELECT name,age,sex FROM database.usertable);
Then, run through the results...
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo
trtd.$row[name]./tdtd.$row[age]./tdtd.$row[sex]./td/tr;
}
Then, end the table like this
echo /table;
There you have it.
