    Yes you will need to save it as a .txt file. Excel will prompt you for how
    you want to delimit your text. Commas are about the easiest way. Are you
    using phpMyAdmin? I know it has a built in function to import a comma
    delimited (or anything-delimited for that matter) text file. I'm sure other
    MySql managers support it as well.

    If PHP is your only interface to MySQL let me know and I'll try and provide
    you with the code you need.

    example something you might

    Right. And if you'ld like here is something I came up with recently that I
    kind of liked that you could use if you want. I'd like other peoples
    opinions as well as to what I'm doing:

    switch ( [posted form submit name] ) {
        case ( [posted form submit value] ):
            if (error check form value) {
                $Error["aname"] = 1;
                print [Error in form value];
            }
            if (error check another form value) {
               $Error["anothername"] = 1;
               print [Error in another form value];
            }
            if (count($Error) == 0) {
             process form values
             do something or show a new page
             break;
            }
        default:
             Show form
             [I use the error values to highlight bad form entries like: ]
             if ($Error["Name"]) {
                ?><font color=#FF0000>Name</font><?
             } else {
                ?>Name<?
             break;
          }

    So basically the result of this is, if the enter a bad form value after
    submission, it prints out the errors, skips the processing block and since
    there was no break, it continues through to the default block and reshows
    the form for resubmission.

    What do you think?

    you can destroy variable with unset function. Manual is on php.net
    page.

    Or simple do not send this variable to next page

    I hope it helps

    hi gerald,

    ok.. u could assign values to form input... eg: $myname= "";

    <input type=text name=name value=<?=$myname?>>

    ok.. for the thank you? simply do a if syntax to check if it's been submited... and put in a alert for ur javascript..

    eg:

    <? ... //do your statement to put in the values

    ?> <html>...

    <? if($submited) { ?> <script> alert("thank you for your submittion..." ) ; </script> <? } ?>

    hope it works :)

    Quick question..

    I'm installing PHP 4.0.6 on a fresh install of Trustix 1.2. It compiles fine (I've even slimmid down the modules I'm compiling it with down to just apxs+mysql), but when I try to restart apache, it gives me the following error:

    Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 241 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/lib/libimap.so: undefined symbol: SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback

    Now, it mentions libimap.so, which is odd. after getting this error the first time I tried recompiling (after a "make clean".. which should clear out the previous config, right?)

    Thoughts?

    hi Ryan,

    Yup, I did. I actually later found out that all I had to do was remove the old libphp4.so file, THEN recompile.

    Hello I am trying to install PHP 4.0.6 with GD 2+ support and I am receiving an error at `make` time. Can anyone suggest something to try and fix this problem? Thankyou :)

    I have installed the following with no path changes to the defaults:

    Hi all,

    I have a table with the column "id", which is a unique number, auto-incremented, so the highest "id" is the most recent.

    I wish to retrieve the last five rows from the table (there will be hundreds of rows) and print some columns to the screen.

    I have this table: id,heading,text,user

    This is what I have, which retrieves ALL rows, in id order, from smallest to greatest:

    ---
    $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
    mysql_select_db("soundpimp",$db);
    

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM news"; $sql_result = mysql_query($sql);

    while ($sql_myrow = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { echo $sql_myrow["id"]."<BR>".$sql_myrow["heading"]."<BR>".$sql_myrow["text"]."<BR>".$sql_myrow["user"]."<BR>---<BR>"; } ---

    What I'd like to do is ONLY echo the highest 5 id's (the latest 5 rows), in REVERSE ORDER.

    How do I approch this? Do I find the highest ID, then do 5 SELECTS, counting back?

    Any code / ideas appreciated.

    Hrm,

    Won't that retrieve the FIRST 5 rows, not the LAST 5?

    Justin French

    It will give you the 5 HIGHEST values in your auto incremented field. If it was returneding the first 5, or the wrong 5, repace the DESC with ASC.

    Sorry, forgot the ORDER BY, here is what you're looking for:

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5";

    In a list of numbers up to 10, this would return rows 6,7,8,9, and 10.

    If you've compiled apache with support for static modules, there aren't any way around it, if you've got support for dynamic modules (DSO) you should be able to compile a new module and make apache load it.

    However I'd suspect that the OS you didn't disclose probably compiled staticly as it's the easiest way of compiling apache+php, since it's php3 that came by default you might want to upgrade to a newer apache version too.

    This brings me back to an original problem I had before, I do have the instruction in my conf file to load php as a module but I get the following error:-

    [warn] loaded DSO c:/usr/php/sapi/php4apache.dll uses plain apache 1.3 api, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)

    I have downloaded this binary from php.net I have tried 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 and I get this error on both.

    Any suggestions

    i seem to remember a thread not that long ago (maybe it was on a different list) similar to this.

    the conclusion was that netscape and ie (and i'm sure others as well) handle this differently, and one of them (i can't remember which) handles it differently if there is more than one button on the page.

    i think if the browser is ie and there is only one submit button, hitting enter also returns submit='whatever'. otherwise, no guarantees.

    it appears that hiddens are the way to go

    Hi,

    I would like to know the correct syntax of include_path for php.ini under windows. I have tried to set the include path as "C:\home\main\require" but it doesn't work.

    Thanks in advance

    Your query is probably wrong. Comment out the header stuff and add some error checking to your query.

    > <?php > mysql_connect("localhost","username","password"); > mysql_select_db("database"); > $query = "SELECT file_path from photos where photos_id=$photos_id"; > $result = mysql_query("$query");

    The quotes are useless there. Change the above to:

    $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

    > $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); > $path = $row[0]; > $parts = split("/",$path);

    Use explode() instead. No sense wasting a regex on a trivial delimiter like that.

    > $file_name = $parts[count($parts)-1];

    uh.. basename() would do the same thing, so you can get rid of this line and also the split/explode actually.

    > header("Content-Type: application/download\n"); > header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name"); > header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); > $fn=fopen($path , "r"); > fpassthru($fn);

    readfile($path); would replace those two lines.

    I made the changes you suggested and it's still a no go. I'm sure of the query because

    print "<img src=\"$path\">";

    Will display the image I'm trying to download.

    This is my environment. PHP Version 3.0.16 Apache/1.3.3 Cobalt safe_mode 1

    <?php mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); mysql_select_db("db"); $query = "SELECT file_path from photos where photos_id=$photos_id"; $result = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $path = $row[0]; $file_name = basename($path); //print "<img src=\"$path\">"; //print "<div align=\"center\">$file_name</div>";

    header("Content-Type: application/download\n"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); readfile($path);

    ?>

    This should work shouldn't it?

    Actually my suggestion would be to take a page from way the Python lists are and call it tutor or PHP-tutor.
