Its kind of hard to explain the specs but to give you an idea...its realllll
simple..no big bells and whistles.
Its for a site very close to this one: http://www.snicksnack.nu
so the functionality of the forum too will be pretty much like that
(sites in Swedish)

True, but this is one of the small parts of the site...the site has other
major sections and this is just a
minor section so not really that important.

Cheers,
Ryan

Do you get anything with:

$get_var1 = mysql_query("SELECT text FROM table1");

FW: write to file, difficulty inputting data

I'm writing customer orders into a file. I'm 

1. getting data from session variables and a database,
2. putting it into a variable called $fileContent
3. then touch($filename);
4. then writing $fileContent to $filename - the code is at the bottom

The test versions of this have all gone well.

The file must contain the data in a preset format. All the data is on
one line (no line breaks) and each field has a preset limit, The file is
FTPed and the data parsed.

So far so good. It works with one customer order

Now when I want to write multiple customer orders it doesn't work?
Abbreviated code is below

// CODE FOR MULTIPLE ORDERS

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{

$theItemID=$row["orderedItems.itemID"];
$theItemPrice=$row["itemPrice"];
$theItemQty=$row["itemQty"];

$thisItemID= sprintf("% 6d",$theItemID);
$thisItemPrice= sprintf("%7.2f",$theItemPrice);
$thisItemQty= sprintf("% 7d",$theItemQty);

to have a mysql v.4.1.3beta client version from doing a php4 install, or do

Re: Questionary Development - Continued

That being the case, you may want to consider ajax, so that users
answers are recorded as soon as they make them.

dynamic drop down

Could someone point me to an example with code for dynamic drop downs in
PHP? I would like to be able to have drop downs like "Select Country"
and another drop down show the states/provinces based on the selected
country.

Thanks,
Dan.

Variabels in stored text - retry

I don't know what is going wrong, but I keep getting an error  
messages. I'll try one more time, and if this doesn't work I'll stop.

Problem:
I have a table, table1, in which I have standard text for letters. I  
would like to put data from table2 in the letters, so that the data  
is automatically placed in the letter through code in the standard  
text. It sounds complicated, I know, but I hope I make myself clear.  
English is not my native language.

What happens is, that the $show_var IS displayed. What I in my  
frustration haven't conveyed properly is, that the text in table1 in  
the the form

                 ordinary text to output to html ". 
$var_from_the_result_query_on_table2." some more html text

shows up just like that, no data from table2 is processed. I know  
that I am probably using the wrong function, but I can't seem to find  
one.

And the reason I use SELECT * is that there is more than one field I  
need to output. There is only one in the example so that the post  
wouldn't be to voluminous.

Well, the "dynamic" part of it isn't gonna be in PHP at all ; It's gonna
be JavaScript.

I *do* use PHP in a cron job to routinely check the ISO (IEEE?) standard
for country codes and names and re-build my list of countries from their
list, so that when/if a country has a civil war or whatever I have a
CURRENT list.

I suppose one could/should do the same with states and provinces, though
those seem less likely to change, actually.

You can Google for "JavaScript dynamic menus" to find what you want.  Then
you just need to use PHP to spew out the JavaScript you want to spew out,
but that's no different than spewing out the HTML you want to spew out,
really.

Re: FW: write to file, difficulty inputting data

On Tue, May 31, 2005 5:32 pm, mayo said:

This will WIPE OUT the existing file, and write a *NEW* file, from 0,
starting from scratch.

So you'll never have anything but the LAST item.

You could use "a+" to append to the end of the file...

But you *SHOULD* be using a database to avoid concurrency issues.

You're going to have a MUCH better application if you store your data in
the database, and it's EASIER than messing with a file.

Only use a file if a database is absolutely forbidden by outside factors. 
Like badly-design homework assignments.  Or not-very-smart
pointy-haired-bosses.
