Re: [PHP-DB] Forms error in a catalog by Greenspan Bulger
Hi
If you get yourself any decent text editor, it will have an option to show
line numbers.
Plenty of free editors here:
http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0,10151,0-4003619-106-0-1-0,00.html?tag=d
ir
Personally I use and would recommend 'Ultra-edit'
It would probably be a good idea to just post the line in question, due to
line wrapping in mail it is difficult to figure out without going through
the entire script where your error is.

Re: [PHP-DB] EOQ what does it mean??
If you look up 'here doc' in the manual you will see that the reference to
EOQ below is part of that, you can use whatever you like in place of EOQ, I
think your problem is that 'here doc' is not supported in php 3
Try replacing the lines
$output = EOQ
form action=$action $attlist
EOQ;
with
$output = print(form action=\$action\ $attlist);

Re: [PHP-DB] EOQ what does it mean??
If you are running windows, I suggest you download the .chm version of the
php manual, great for easy searching and bookmarking pages etc.
http://uk2.php.net/distributions/manual/manual-en.chm
To answer your question, the first piece of code will be, replace:
$output = EOQ
/form
EOQ;
with
$output = print(/form);
and the next replace:
$output = EOQ
input type=text name=$name value=$value size=$size $maxatt
EOQ;
with
$output =print(input type=\text\ name=\$name\ value=\$value\
size=\$size\ $maxatt);
When using the print statement you must remember to escape all within the
parenthesis with \

Re: [PHP-DB] newbie - problems with Select and timestamp(14) calculation
Hi Thanks for your reply, I have tried this using NOW() and NOW()+0, there is no difference, I think I have narrowed the problem down to the time part of the timestamp being disregarded, as I have written the query below it is making the calculation using days rather than seconds.. This should really be a rather simple query to achieve, but it is turning into a big headache.
