    MySQL question

    Is it possible to insert a new field into a table (using either PHP or going through phpMyAdmin) that will automatically have a word in it for each record - without needing to edit each record as there's over 1500? Doesn't really matter what the word is, can be 'yes' for example, just needs...

    MySQL SELECT Query question

    I managed to get the select statement with "MATCH (notes) AGAINST ('invite')" in to work, after adjusting the notes field to be FULLTEXT with a little playing in phpMyAdmin, even though there are several words in each column it picks up those that contain it without any problems. Will certainly...

    MySQL SELECT Query question

    So far all the MySQL queries I've used that include WHERE have been nice and simple, such as: SELECT * FROM subs WHERE exhibitions='yes' But what happens if the field you're dealing with is populated by a series of keywords and you want to make a selection based on just one from that...

    how to ignore empty results from MySQL query in PHP?

    thanks for that, I'd just tried a slightly fudged <div id="archive_text"> <?php $year = '2010'; $sql = 'SELECT * FROM exhibitions WHERE archive="yes" AND year="2010" ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC'; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){ echo...

    PHP Problem

    Not at all stupid, they're exactly that, both are submit buttons, except one is labelled Submit and the other Edit. They are both named differently within their form make up and each $_POST statement relates to that - or at least I think so - which is where the problem seems to be and it's got...

    PHP Problem

    That's the tricky thing, all the different elements work in isolation or to a large extent when brought together and I'm not getting any error messages. The only obvious thing is that having 2 form buttons, even though they're differently named, is messing things up: if...
