I do have a php book But it's just that what you ask and how (coupled with the frequency) determines the response you get, if any. your general attitude, the number of posts you answer, etc, etc all play a part. e.g. as is regularly mentioned you don't argue with Rasmus, why? because he wrote the original php, still actively develops it, runs yahoo, and _still_ has time answer posts on this list... basically he know more than you and has enough 'credits' in phpland to buy the bank (so to speak) - ...you blew most of your startup 'credits' already, so now you are 'forced' do a lot of increaseKnowledge() where: function increaseKnowledge() { while (kowledgeSucks()) { readTheManual(); SearchTheWeb(); writeSomeCode(); } } then come back to the list when you are _really_ stuck and you can explain the problem and what you have tried so far in _detail_... if you do that then you'll almost garantee yourself and answer there are no hard and fast rules regarding this but the consensus is 'try harder please George' ... basically NRBS** doesn't entice people to spend time working on _your_ problem. it dosent show. Why can other people ask questions but I cant? which book? show what? be specific, do research - google is your friend (that's beginning to sound like something bigbrother would say). regarding "Why can other people ask questions but I cant?" ... er? that is a question, you asked it, ergo the question moot is moot... what you should be asking is why other people get better answers ... hopefully you get that now, anyway good to see you reading other people threads. rgds, Jochem **Non-Researched Basic Stuff - from John Nichel, eventually I'll be able to leave off the footnote :-P -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It's not that you can't ask questions, it's that it's bad form to ask numerous questions to which the answers are well documented. The people on this list aren't here to hold someone's hand or write the code for that person; we're here to help solve problems (or ask for help with problems of our own). The questions you have been asking are really basic, and if your book doesn't cover the answers, you need to look into getting a new book. The online PHP manual is an excellent place to find answers to the questions you've been asking, as is the mailing list archives. This list shouldn't be your first stop when you encounter a road block. Check the manual, the archives, and Google first. 9 times out of 10, you'll find your answer there quicker. -- John C.

For instance, take a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php - this is the first page in the reference manual about mysql. 'bout a third down the page is...'Example 1. MySQL extension overview example' copy, paste, amend as required and run. Doesn't work?

Re: [PHP] show a field in php file
Thats just executing the query.. you need to use the result set, and iterate over it... $rs = mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { echo $row[0]; ... } stuff like that. > Hey guys how would i show a filed from a MySQL database in a php file? > Isnt it this? > SELECT * FROM `user` > But that dosent work because it comes out blank :-\ > And I already am connected to the database > Code: > > mysql_connect ('localhost','myaccount','mypass') > or die ("could not connect to server"); > mysql_select_db ('database') > or die ("could not connect to database"); > > $query = "SELECT * > FROM `user` > LIMIT 0 , 30"; > mysql_query($query); > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] show a field in php file
[snip] ...a lot of stuff from George [/snip] George, We appreciate that you are asking a lot of questions and hope that you become a proficient user of PHP. We do recommend that you spend some time with a tutorial or two (Google is your friend) and a little time with the manual. Many of your questions are answwered and often there is more than one way to do things. Thank you. To show a field from a query you have to a. get the data from a query $myQuery = "SELECT foo FROM table "; if(!($myResult = mysql_query($myQuery, $myConnection))){ echo mysql_error . "\n"; exit(); } while($myRow = mysql_fetch_array($myResult)){ echo $myRow['foo'] . "\n"; } b. display the data -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
