PHP MySQL 2 column list

I am building at site in dreamweaver using PHP/MySQL.
I have a page that will list a bunch of categories. I would
like to have them in a two column list instead of one. It will look
better as far as the design goes. How can I do this. I would like
each column to be an equal amount as possible

PHP - MySQL - SET column

In my sql database I have a set column that works fine. The user can select multiple options. However, I am having trouble displaying those options using the record set in dreamweaver. I want the recordset to find any one of the possible options and display the record, but it's not displaying anything. Am I missing something here?

OK, my bad. So a SET is sort of a user defined datatype, where the developer sets the allowable values of the column? The thing that troubled me is that the example the reference guide gives shows it being used to store multiple values as in the last line here:
For example, a column specified as SET('one', 'two') NOT NULL can have any of these values:
'one'
'two'
'one,two'
So that's not really a problem inherent in a SET column, just a way that it can be misused like any other string column.

Not really. A SET column in MySQL doesn't violate the rules of normalization. It's actually a shorthand way of creating a lookup table - or a linking table, since it creates a many-to-many relationship. Internally, MySQL simply stores a numerical reference to each value. In other words, behind the scenes it's storing a bunch of foreign keys.
The way you search for a particular option stored in a SET column is to use the MySQL function, FIND_IN_SET().
SELECT * FROM mytable
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('whatever', column_name)

(PHP/MySql) Create Recordset but no column

Thanks for reading this, I am new to PHP/MySql
I have created a website www.ritchiecraft.co.uk which uses
PHP/MySql with Dreamweaver 8. I have created recordsets on most
items pages and filtered data as neccessary. After the site was up
and running I was required to insert a new topic and when I went to
create a new page and insert the recordset no data was placed in
the columns area and the filter/sort options were greyed out. I
checked the existing pages and found that this was happening to all
pages with recordsets. The connection, table data was there.
The site still works fine but I cannot introduce new pages or
edit existing because of the recordset problem. I was advised
previously to delete the Dreamweaver cache file but this did not
help.
The site is hosted commercially and the database was created
with phpMyAdmin and dont seem to have any connection problems.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions are welcome.

You can't do it through the Recordset dialog box. The simple
way to do
it is to create this query in the Recordset dialog box:
SELECT * FROM myTable
ORDER BY myOrder ASC
Then go into Code view and locate the following line:
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";
Change it to this:
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$col = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_GET['id']) :
$_GET['id'];
$col = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
else {
$col = '*';
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT $col FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";

Show if field is not empty - PHP/MySQL

Is there a way I can only show bits of a page if a recordset
has entries in a certain field, automatically hiding the area if
the field is empty. (PHP/MySQL)
To put it in real terms, I have loads of products listed in a
repeating table. If a product has a photo gallery related to it
there is a 1 entered in 'photos' field, it has a video attached
here is a 1 entered in 'videos field and likewise for reviews it
will have a 1 entered in the reviews field.
What I'd like to have is a photo, video and review icon/link
in the 'master table' which only appears in the repeated products
that have a 1 listed in that field and have them not appear at all
when there is a 0 in the field.
Can anyone help me figure it out

ADDT is certainly a great help, as it - among many other
features - will allow you define whatever page element as
"show/hide" based on a query result -- for this it´s using a
so-called "condition builder" which lets you do that without
coding.
However you can achieve the same result without needing to
resort to ADDT -- by using a basic "if" condition that´s
checking the respective table column for having the value "1"
stored, and if so, display the page segment
The following 3 examples should work when replacing the
sample "queryname" with the query name your page is actually using:
<?php if ($row_queryname['photos'] == '1') {?>
display photo icon here
<?php }?>
<?php if ($row_queryname['videos'] == '1') {?>
display video icon here
<?php }?>
<?php if ($row_queryname['reviews'] == '1') {?>
display videos icon here
<?php }?>

Php/mysql ajax toggle div

Hi,
I have recently started using ajax in my pages, and I am very impressed!
But my skills have not yet developed and I am using a code snippet off the internet to do what I want.
I have a hidden div tag called photo to which I want to load images into
I have a link tag with an ID of the "album name"
I want to call the div by clicking on the link and have the div animate down with a do while loop consisting of the images in that "album name"
Here is my code:
AJAX
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
    var mySlide3 = new Fx.Slide('photo');
    mySlide3.hide();
    $('<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name'];?>').addEvent('click', function(e){
        e = new Event(e);
        mySlide3.toggle();
        e.stop();
PHP
<?php do { ?>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" >
      <tr>
        <?php
$listAlbumPhotos_endRow = 0;
$listAlbumPhotos_columns = 4; // number of columns
$listAlbumPhotos_hloopRow1 = 0; // first row flag
do {
    if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow == 0 && $listAlbumPhotos_hloopRow1++ != 0) echo "<tr>";
   ?>
        <td><div class="AlbumNameText"><a href="#" id="<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?>"><?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?></a></div></td>
        <?php $listAlbumPhotos_endRow++;
if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow >= $listAlbumPhotos_columns) {
?>
      </tr>
      <?php
$listAlbumPhotos_endRow = 0;
} while ($row_listAlbumPhotos = mysql_fetch_assoc($listAlbumPhotos));
if($listAlbumPhotos_endRow != 0) {
while ($listAlbumPhotos_endRow < $listAlbumPhotos_columns) {
    echo("<td> </td>");
    $listAlbumPhotos_endRow++;
echo("</tr>");
}?>
    </table>
<?php } while ($row_listAlbumPhotos = mysql_fetch_assoc($listAlbumPhotos)); ?>
HTML
<div id="photo">
This is a test
<br />
</div>
Currently this works for the first record found.
I have setup two albums "Friends" and "Other"
Currently Other is not accepting <a href="#" id="<?php echo $row_listAlbumPhotos['album_name']; ?>"> the ID or the Ajax is not allowing the ID
I'm not sure which. Can anyone help me?

Take a look at this list:
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Calendars/index.html
Ignore the first few that have a colored background because
those are paid resources, but the rest will do what you want.
One note to mention on this subject is that there are
combination scripts, PHPiCalendar being the most notable, that
allow you to use a stand alone calendar application like iCal
(Mac), Windows Calendar (only in Vista), or Sunbird (from Mozilla,
Win or Mac). From those programs you could publish the calendar.
All you would need to do is edit the template files in that script
and then your users can publish from easy applications they know
over a calendar app based entirely on PHP/mySQL.
This is not say there are not good solutions, but this is
just an observation. Also if you are using a forum, most forum
software (ie: Invsion Power Board, vBulletin, Simple Machines Forum
(SMF), etc) all have built in calendar scripts that are tied into
the forum software. So that might be another avenue to consider.
But if you just need a stand-alone app, then check out that
list. There are some pretty good scripts there.

Conditional content from 2 tables in PHP/MYSQL

I am developing a site in DWCS4 that has a database with 2 tables: audio and notes.
The tables contain the following fields:
AUDIO
audio_id (ai)
title (varchar)
filename (varchar)
(plus other fields for date, speaker etc)
NOTES
notes_id (ai)
audio_id (int) - foreign key
title (varchar)
file_location (varchar)
(plus other fields for date, author etc)
I have a page which lists audio files which enables a selection to be made that then leads to a page (audio_detail.php) which has full details of the audio and contains a player (see www.wscnf.org/audio.php).
Some of these audio files have associated notes and others do not - those that do contain the reference from audio.audio_id in notes.audio_id - if there are no notes then the foreign key defaults to a value of 0.
I have been asked to amend the audio_detail.php page so that, if there is an associated notes file, a link to that file is shown on the page - what I have in mind is if there are asscoiated notes, a new line appears beneath the player which says "Notes accompanying this audio are available:" followed by a download link. If there are no associated notes then this line does not appear.
Any assistance on how to achieve this would be most welcome - my knowledge of PHP/MYSQL is fairly basic (but growing!)

There are several ways to go about this, but the one that comes to mind is to use an outer join to select columns from both tables. The outer join will return results from the main table AUDIO regardless of if there are matching results in NOTES. You can then test the column values in NOTES. If the row has a NULL value in NOTES.notes_id, then there is no associate note for that row. If there is an notes_id value, then you can use conditional logic to display the NOTE details, link to other pages, etc.

Can't connect PHP/MySQL 404 error

Wow, the learning curve is killing me. Yet another challenge. I'm using Dreamweaver CC and this tutorial http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html
I'm at this step:
Open comments.php. You must have a PHP page open in the Document window to create a MySQL connection.
In the Databases panel (choose Window > Databases), click the Plus button on the panel and select MySQL Connection.The MySQL Connection dialog box appears.
Type connTest as the connection name.
For the MySQL Server, type localhost.If you are using the MAMP default ports on a Mac, use localhost:8889.
For the User Name, type phptestuser.
Type the password you chose for the phptestuser account in the Password field.
For the Database, type php_test.Note: You don't need to precede the underscore with a backslash here. It was inserted by phpMyAdmin in the previous section (see Figure 20) only because phpMyAdmin uses a query that permits wildcard characters.
Click Test.Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the connection fails, do the following:
Double-check the server name, user name, and password.
Check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process dynamic pages (see Specifying a Testing Server for Dreamweaver).
Verify that the web and MySQL servers are both running.
Temporarily disable any firewall or security program. If the connection works, you need to configure the security program to permit communication between Dreamweaver and MySQL.
Click OK. The new connection appears in the Databases panel.
Expand the connTest connection, and then expand the Tables branch. You'll see the comments table in the database, which you can expand to reveal the details of the table columns (see Figure 23).
As far as I can tell I have followed this tutorial to the letter.
As far as I can tell, XAMPP/php mySQL are all running fine, the files are in the correct place and everything should be working. However when I hit test I get a 404 error. (Same error when I hit the select button.)
The suggested problems on the 404 message are:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
Pretty sure the testing server is running. Is there any way to test this, other than to note that xampp is definitely running right now and that I can log into phpMYadmin no problem?
2. The testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://localhost/php_test/_MMServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
Ummm...I'm pretty sure I put things where I was told to put them in the tutorial, but I'm lost at this point where I should verify what. A clue here? The files are where they are supposed to be, but maybe I entered something wrong? Except...I'm not sure what that could be or where to find it. Whatever IT is.
Everything in local files is looking good.
Thanks for your help!
PS: Extra points to anyone who figures out how to make copy/pasteable error messages! These buggers are the bane of my life!

Bgupta, you rock!
I hope you have copied the "mysql.php" and "MMHTTPDB.php" files from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\locale\Configuration\Connections\Scripts\PHP_MySQL\_mmDBScripts" to "C:\xampp\htdocs\phptest\_mmServerScripts"
This was EXACTLY the problem. I checked the tutorial and I couldn't even find where the tutorial said to do this. (If I missed it, let me know where in the tutorial it was, please.)
Fixed!

Spry accordion with php mysql as data

Hello
I`m trying to create a spry accordion where the Labels are pulled from a mysql database table and the Content of that label is pulled from data in the same database. I tried adding first the spry accordion and then created 1 recordset for the labels and a second recordset for the content , then I added a repeat region for the labels DIV and inside this div I added a repeat region for the content.
Unfortunatly when viewed in the browsers the accordion doesn`t work.
Can anyone look at the code and tell me where is the mistake.
Thanks

You only have 1 "AccordianPanel" which contains a list of "AccordianPanelTab" elements, then a list of "AccordianPanelContent" elements.
You need to have a list of "AccordianPanel" elements, each containing a pair or "AccordianPanelTab" and "AccordianPanelContent" elements.

PhP/MySQL Horizontal/Vertical Repeat Region

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty sure this question would have been asked many times before. If so, first of all my apologies for re-posting this.
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is create a repeat region that spans for 4 columns and then repeats the rest in rows. For example, if I have 100 records in my table (MySQL), then I want to display this in a table of 4 columns and and 25 rows (in reality, the number of records would be unspecified, of course, but still the records need to be displayed on a 4 column, X row table). For example:
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
At the moment, I have no issue with displaying the records either horizontally or vertically (explicitly) using the built in "repeat region" behavior. However, where I'm having the problem is with displaying the records in a table as the one I described above.
I'm using DW CS5 with PhP/MySQL.
Can I still do this using the built in "repeat region" server behavior, if so how?
Otherwise, how else could I achieve this (ideally without using any extensions)?
Thanks in advance for any help and support,
Cheers

I'm believe you should be able to modify the repeat region code to do what you want it to do. With that said we will need 2 things:
1. To see the code from the page.
2. To know the order of the results is it:
Horizontal: 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
Or Vertical:
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

PHP/MySql Error Message

I've posted this before and didn't get the answer that I need, probably because I didn't post all of my codes. I am using PHP/MySql. I created a website that has several forms. When I process three of the forms, I get the error messages below:

Hi David,
I did as you recommended. For good measure, I even changed the case of the letters to make sure that they coincide with exactly what's in the database. I still kept getting the same error message. So I deleted the recordset and attempted to recreate it. When I attempted to recreate the record set, I got the following error message: "RangeError: invalid array length". My codes are listed below:

Remove the semicolon from the beginning of these lines in the
Windows
extensions section:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_mysql.dll
Also add this line after them:
extension=php_mysqli.dll

PHP / MySQL / Stored Procedures

I'm trying to call a stored procedure on my site which uses
php / mySQL 5.x. I've got the procedure working in the database so
that when I call it from within a MySQL client it executes and
returns the results I need, but Dreamweaver doesn't even "see" the
stored procedure.
By this I mean If I use the recordset wizard, go to advanced,
select the relevant database and then expand the Stored Procedures
tab none are listed.
Searching through Adobe help, it lists nothing about Stored
Procedures with PHP/MySQL apart from that MySQL doesn't support
them. The later versions of MySQL do support Stored Procedures, but
has anyone got them working with Dreamweaver? If so how!??!!
Any help much appreciated.

Stored procedures have been available in MySQL only since
version 5.0,
which was released in October 2005, one month after
Dreamweaver 8. It
would have been nice to include support for stored procedures
in CS3,
but no new functionality was added to any of the server-side
features of
Dreamweaver. I have my fingers crossed for next time.

My server doesn't support MySQL 5.0, so apart from the
information in
the MySQL documentation, I don't know a great deal about
using stored
procedures:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/stored-procedures.html
One of the problems is that many hosting companies are still
using older
versions of MySQL (a lot still offer only 3.23). I'm
currently in the
process of moving to a new server with support for both PHP 5
and MySQL
5.0. Once I've had time to experiment, I hope to know a lot
more.

Php mysql login behavior

Hi the list,
I have a php/mysql site -, very simple. it's using the
built-in user authentication behavior. this is fine, checks the
database and either opens the correct page with a valid user/login
or opens an error page, if there's no valid login and password set.
what I need to do is to display a field based on the user and
password on the receiving page, but I can't seem to get that to
work. If I get rid of the built-in user authentication and just
send the login and password to the receiving page as form
variables, it works fine but then I don't have the error page
behavior. I'm not a database guy, just kind of floundering here.Any
help gratefully accepted.

Not quite sure what you mean ("display a field") but it
sounds like
you want the receiving page to display some information about
the
person who has logged in?
In that case, in the code on your login page, after login has
been
verified but before the redirection to the receiving page,
you should
set a session variable to be the id of the person logging in.
Then on
your receiving page query the database for the person with
that id and
retrieve whatever you want. For example, get their given name
and
display a personalised welcome to them.
Hope this is what you meant?

PHP/MySQL - Nav links pass variable to another page? Or?

I'm a PHP/MySQL beginner. I'm digging through books and tutorials as best I can, but finding myself a little lost in the sheer volume of information. If someone can point me in the right direction for this task, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a database (MySQL) with two tables. One is a list of carpets, and the other a list of the categories of carpets and information about those categories.
The "carpets" table has a field for each record to indicate which category that carpet belongs to.
I'm trying to do this:
- A navigation bar listing the categories
- When you click on a category, a "gallery" page opens, display the carpets (name, description, photo) of each carpet in that category
Does Dreamweaver have server behaviors for this? If not, can anyone give me a general idea of what the code is I need to write to make this happen?
Thanks VERY much in advance,

David,
I believe I've done exactly what you described above; only my naming is slightly different.
catID in my database is "category_id"
page.php in my application is "navbar.php"
detail.php in my application is "gallery.php"
When I view navbar.php in the browser and click on one of the links, the resulting URL is like this:
gallery.php?2=
or
gallery.php?3=
etc.
I'm pasting the whole code from navbar.php and gallery.php below, in case it's is helpful for you to have a look at it (and you have the time to).
I am really grateful for your help.
Patty

PHP MySQL data display problem

I am having trouble getting data to display on my web page.In Dreamweaver CS3, I created a new page.
Selected PHP as the type.
Saved it.
Connected a database and created a recordset (all using Dreamweavers menus. I did not write any code).
NOTE: The database is on a remote server.
The TEST button displayed the records from the recordset with no problem.
On the new page, I then typed some text.
Then dragged some fields from the Bindings tab to the page.
I saved it and then went to preview it in my browser.
The page comes up completely blank. Not even the text shows.
I then saved the page as an HTML page.
When I preview this in my browser, the text shows, but the fields and data do not.
I then tried creating a dynamic table (again, using the Dreamweaver menus.).
A similar thing happens, ie. If I save it as an HTML, the text shows and the column labels and border shows, but no data.
Nothing shows if I save it as a PHP file.
I can view the data online using files created by PHPMagic, so I know the data is there and retrievable.
It is just in pages created in Dreamweaver that don’t work.
What am I doing wrong?

My web server supports PHP. I can disply PHP pages created by other software packages, just not the Dreamweaver ones.

Subject: PHP MySQL data display problem
To view php pages - or pages with PHP code in them - in a browser, the page must be served up by a Web server that supports PHP. You can set up a testing server on your local machine for this purpose. Look for WAMP (Windows), MAMP (Mac), or XXAMP for some easily installed packages.
