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.

what is it wrong to ask questions on a php general mailing list where I
know there are a bunch of people that can help? 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

...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'] . br\n;
}
b. display the data

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);
