Import Excel to MySQL using PHP

Does anyone know the coding for if you have a excel document
that has the same headers as the mysql table, however, you wish to
import the data in excel inside your mysql table. How is this done
through PHP. I've seen a lot of coding to do the reverse by
exporting mysql data into excel. What I need is the reverse, is
this possible?
Thank you,

Does anybody have an answer.

A Fluid Gallery from MySQL using PHP and various column widths

I have decided to try the new Fluid Layout option in Dreamweaver. I pull information from a database (MySQL) and use php to present it.
To show a gallery, I would pull the info and use the repeater code, and something like Tom Muck's horizontal repeater script to create a gallery. The images need to be shown with other text-based information (not just a caption). However, the HR script is a set amount of columns - and I want the number of columns to change depending on the width of the browser.
So it's more than just a gallery - pulling images from a database with Title = "x" these would be a repeated stylised DIV with multiple texts fields and styles within.
Let's take the example of a car dealership website it must show the car image, year, prices, description etc all in different style fonts so it can just be a caption to the image.
So the options are:
A fixed number of columns for each width: Monitor 5, Tablet 3, Mobile 1. Can this be achieved by having a "IF" statement in the actual code, if width = x use this version of the Horizontal Repeater?
A fluid version that has 6 columns and as you slide the browser's width you can see the gallery's width has less columns until it reaches 1 for mobile.
The fluid version would be better.
Any links to a tutorial or example would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

The only issue with using <divs> instead of a table to create your grid columns is that you will have to set a minimum height on the <divs> to keep them all at the same depth,much like a table cell construction looks and behaves. If you don't set a minimum height the grid will look all ragged PLUS the very big drawback is the <divs> won't clear if another <div> has more content in it which is going to happen if you include a 'description' of the car as this will never be the same length unless you are prepeared to edit the text.
See fluid sample below: You can just populate the <divs> from your database and loop through them

Importing Excel files and using a search function to use specific data based on user selection

Hi, I'm trying to create a search and solve function within Visual Basic.
I want to use the combustion equation C8H18 + 20(O2 + 3.76 N2) = 8 CO2 + 9H20 + 47 N2 to determine flame temperature using
9*Hf of C02 + 8 * Hf H20 + 47 Hf N2 = Hf C8H18
I have all of the values of Hf in an excel spreadsheet but I want to be able to search the spreadsheet as my application requires the user to change to fuel (the C8H18 bit) which changes the value of Hf.
Is there a way of searching that excel file each time I run my program?
Thanks
Jack

Thanks for answering so quickly.
I've used that method before, and I'm sorry I didn't specify.
This will be used as a student learning aid and so the application itself and the tables will be downloaded as a zip file and so I don't believe the line below would work?
I've heard about including excel as a reference file in the application but I haven't been able to find any further information on that.
Thanks again

Allow user to import excel file without using wizard ?

Hi !
How can i realize an application where the user can import an excel sheet. The user should just choose the file to import and all the other things should happen automatically. The files are allways equal, allways same colums, allways same delimiters and the destination table is allways the same, too.
With other words : how to build an own import wizard ?
I know that i can easily upload a csv file to the database. But how can i get access to the uploaded file from sql or pl/sql ? If this would work, i could make simple selects and insert them into the destination.
Perhaps someone can help me.
Greetings
Bernd

Bernd,
You're on the right track. For now, you'll have to write your own parsing routine and do your own inserts. If you follow the how to on uploading files, you can then simply take the blob and parse through it in pl/sql.

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

Joining 3 tables in MySQL using PHP

Hi,
I have the following 3 sample tables:
First
idkey
fk_second_idkey
fk_third_idkey
Second
idkey
Third
idkey
My SQL is
SELECT * FROM First INNER JOIN Second ON First.fk_second_idkey = Second.idkey INNER JOIN Third First.fk_third_idkey = Third.idkey AND First.fk_second_idkey = 2;
It compiles and I get a result set, but its repeated, so if i get back records 2, 3 and 4, the page will show 2, 3 and 4 about 3 times.
Can anyone assist with the above SQL?
Thanks.

Just kind of guessing at what you're trying to do, but if you want it grouped by the first table (one result per first table ID), then something like:
SELECT * FROM First
INNER JOIN Second
   ON First.fk_second_idkey = Second.idkey
INNER JOIN Third
   ON First.fk_third_idkey = Third.idkey
      AND First.fk_second_idkey = 2
GROUP BY First.idkey;
...but I'm unclear on what's happening already and what you need it to do. Are the linked tables a one-to-one relationship? one-to-many?

Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP

I'm trying to set up a database of loan agreements, where users will submit a form through Acrobat and their information will be stored in a mySQL database. Later, they can go back and download the PDF, which will be repopulated with their data in the mySQL db.
I made the form in Livecycle Designer and submit the information through HTTP POST. I can easily get the information from the form into the database...my only problem is getting that information back out into the PDF.
What would allow me to write back to the PDF, preferably using PHP? What kind of syntax would that require?
Thanks!

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

Using MySql and PHP with Dreamweaver on a Mac

Hello all,
As always if the answers to these questions are obscenely
obvious please humour me.
I use XHTML and CSS in my websites and realise that it is
time that I dabbled with SSI. So I've started using PHP.
However, I have been following the installation directions of
MySql and am running into problems. I am installing the relavent
software and am then unable to find it on my Mac, the startup files
are there but the actual MySql data appears to not be installed
despite my computer telling me it is...... I am using a G3 running
OSX 10.4 is this good enough? I noticed talk of needing a PowerPC
or Intel mac. Is this the case?
Also, would I need MySql installed on my actual computer if
the my servers have it already? And does Dreamweaver 8 have both of
these programs installed as standard?
If you could help out I would be very appreciative as I would
like to learn this stuff and I appear to be struggling at the
outset....
Cheers
M.A

MySQL is a relational database management system that
comprises a
database server and several utility programs. Although you
install it
like any other program on a Mac, the similarity stops there.
First, the point about PowerPC and Intel Macs is that there
are
different versions of the MySQL installer for each type of
processor.
I'm pretty sure that a G3 is OK, but you must choose the
PowerPC version
of MySQL, not the 64-bit or x86 (Intel Mac) version.
Once you have installed MySQL, you need to drag the
MySQL.PrefPane icon
from the disk image onto your System Preferences. This
installs a
Preference Pane that enables you to start and stop MySQL. The
Preference
Pane has an option to start up MySQL automatically, but in my
experience, it doesn't work on Tiger. You need to open the
Preference
Pane, and click Start MySQL Server each time you start your
computer.
The best way to work with MySQL is to use a graphical
interface, such as
phpMyAdmin. As Osgood has mentioned, I have written a book
about PHP and
Dreamweaver, which goes into all the necessary details. It's
also very
Mac-friendly with separate instructions where necessary for
PC and Mac.

Can't import excel file using Powerpivot Import Table Wizard

I am new to the powerpivot in 2010 Excel. I was trying to use the Powerpivot's import table wizard to import an Excel file into Powerpivot. I was able to connect the target source file when I was in the wizard window testing the connection.
However, after I accepted to import the file and clicked finished, I couldn't see all the columns of the file were completely uploaded into the PowerPivot worksheet. Also, the file has only 138 rows but it ends up over thousands row. Can you please
let me kow if this feature works at all or did I miss any steps?

Best way to update images using PHP / MySQL?

HI
I want to update images using PHP/MySQL, so users can update their images and maybe some other files but mainly images.
thanks

How messed up is this code?!
<?php
//connect to database
$con = mysql_connect("testhost","testuser","pass");
// file properies
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
if (!isset($file))
echo "please select an image";
else {
    $id = $_REQUEST['id_display'];
    $image = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? file_get_contents ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) : '';
    $image_name = ($_FILES['image']['name']) ? addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']): '';
    $image_size = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']): '';
    if ($image_size == FALSE)
    echo "You have not selected an image.";
    else {
        mysql_select_db("test_display", $con);
        mysql_query("UPDATE testtable SET image = '$image', imagename = '$image_name' WHERE id_display='$id'");

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.
