Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
Sure, the big guys run ASP, but its common knowledge to stay aay from that =) Actually, the reaosn I brought it up is cuz I'm sure they have some pretty big databases, for whatever they use it for, and wellanything that's gonna support a huge DB without crashing is a plus in my book =)I tried to host some php sites on my Win2k computer, and it worked out well..until people actually started visiting the site =) Thus, great for testing, bad for hosting. =) I do use it though to build databases. I have a number of different types of search engine spiders that index sites, and I find it easier to do it here than on my php web host. =) I just realized, I could talk about PHP and MySQL all day...or until my fingers fall off... so I'll end this here =) Lars B.

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
My reasons: 1) Heard of Oracle, didnt know it was a database program 2) Never heard of PostgreSQL 3) MySQL is the most talked about, from what I've seen, so there's plenty of people to get help from 4) It's free. 5) It runs in Windows 5) NASA uses it, or so their site says 6) It works! So I've no need to switch to anything else 7) Most PHP webhosting services offer only MySQL. 8) Gotta love that lil dolphin! søren eriksen wrote: > Hi everybody > I'm writing a synopsis about PHP and mySQL. > I'm hoping someone can help me, and tell me why > the combination og PHP and MySQL is so common. > What makes MySQL such a good choice when using PHP? > What seperates MySQL from others dbms? > -Søren Eriksen- > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- >From PHPGalaxy.com, earn up to $10 per order selling our PHP Scripts and Software on your Site. http://www.phpgalaxy.com/aff/ Also, get a fast free POP3 email account, you @php.la at http://www.phpgalaxy.com/search/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP-DB] Getting first character?
Hey Matt..you would use the substr function for this...for example: $stuff = the number you're checking.. $fnum = substr($stuff, 0, 1) and $fnum is the first number (as a string) from $stuff =) - Tim -- >From PHPGalaxy.com, earn up to $10 per order selling our PHP Scripts and Software on your Site. http://www.phpgalaxy.com/aff/ Also, get a fast free POP3 email account, you @php.la at http://www.phpgalaxy.com/search/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
