PHP URL Variable from Insert Record Issue

I have a very simplistic forum style website I have put together. Everything is functionally properly except for one aspect. The basic structure is a page that lists the existing threads (ie: ThreadA, ThreadB, and ThreadC). I have the name of these threads stored in a MySQL database table that is used to generate a repeating dynamic table to grow as the number of threads increases. If the user clicks on one of these links they are taken to a page that displays all of the comments pertaining to that thread. All of the comments are stored in another MySQL database table. I perform a query on this comments page to filter the information in the comments database by the thread name which is passed over from the first page via a URL variable. The link attached to the name of the thread in the repeating table that generates the URL variable is "comments.php?thread=<?php echo $row_threads['threadName']; ?>" This works perfectly, If the user clicks on ThreadB they are taken to the comments page where only the comments pertaining to ThreadB have been filtered and displayed. After the user inserts a comment form ThreadB the comments page reloads displaying the newly created comment.
Also, on the first page, the user has the option to create a new thread; call it ThreadD. The name of this new thread has to be inserted into two tables; one in the master threads table and one in the comments page any time someone adds a comment. (I'm sure there is a better way to structure this, but this was all I could figure out and for my purposes at hand it is sufficient). When the user is taken to this new comment page I have a query set up to pull the last entry in the threads table from the logged in user, ie the newly created thread topic. I have dragged this query to the page to make sure it is pulling the correct thread heading, and it works just fine. What I'm wanting to have happen is after the user enters the first comment I'm wanting them to be redirected to the main comments page with their new comment listed; giving the illusion that the new comment and existing comments page are the same. I'm trying to pass the newly created thread name, ThreadD, in the URL to the main comments page just like I do if they select it from the existing threads page. Under the insert record wizard I click the 'browse' button to select the comments.php page. I then select 'parameters' to add the thread name query as the URL parameter. The generated code is "comments.php?thread=" . $row_threadName['threadName'] . "". The user does go to the main comments page but the URL variable is not coming with it. What I'm left with in the address bar is ..."/comments.php?thread=&" , but it should be ..."comments.php?thread=ThreadD". I tried copying and pasting the URL link from the existing threads page since that works perfectly, and when I do that the main comments page shows up blank after being redirected from the new comments page. If I hard code this, for testing purposes, into the redirect after insertion section (ie: "comments.php?thread=ThreadD") everything works perfectly and the URL in the address bar of the main comments page is "...comments.php?thread=ThreadD&" I noticed the extra "&", but didn't give it much thought since the site is giving me the behavior I'm looking for. My question is, how do I get this new comment page to pass the variable of the newly created thread name to the main comments page to behave like it does when the thread is selected from the list of existing threads? I know it has to do with how the URL variable is either being generated or built from my query, or how I have it listed in the redirect section of the insert wizard, but I can't figure out where I am going wrong. Please let me know if there are any questions or if I need to clarify any aspect. Any and all help is always appreciated. Thank you.

Ok, so just to summarize so I am understanding this correctly. You have an ordering page for tires/wheels. A customer places an order for tires/wheels and the data is submitted successfully and this includes a symbol for measurement (in.). But on another summary page the symbol is returning a blank value.
If this is correct we need to see:
- First, the code that is inserting the symbol to the database table in question
- Second, the query and code where you are printing the data to the screen.

Use session variable in Insert record

It can be manipulated if it's put into a hidden form field.

PHP Form Validation and Insert Records

Hi There,
I've been scratching my head for 2 days and couldn't find a solution.
Here is my problem:
Go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php and click the "Send Comments" button.
You will see that the validation works.
Now, go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTestInsert.php, this time, I've inserted the "Insert Record" server behavior.
Click the "Send Comments" button again.
You will see the ugly message like "Column 'firstname' cannot be null" in a plain white page.
My question is:
How can I insert the PHP form records in my database and take advantage of the form validation nicely like in http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php
I am attaching the files.
Thank you for you help!

Use simple PHP logic to merge the scripts together.
Dreamweaver automatically puts the Insert Record server behavior code at the top of the script. You need to adapt it so that the validation is done first. If the validation succeeds, use the Insert Record server behavior. If not, redisplay the form.
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
// validate the form input
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
// send the mail
    if ($mailSent) {
    unset($missing);
    // insert the Insert Record server behavior code here

Passing parameter from insert record wizard

I'm using the Insert Record from the Record Insertion Form
Wizard. It works fine in that the record does get inserted into the
table but i am trying to pass a value from one of the fields onto a
confirmation page.
My confirmation page will say something like:
You have just added record <dnum>. Do you want to add
another record?
Is this possible?

I am obviously missing something. In editing the link, I have a user parameter of atab. This is the column that is linked in the report. What do I use as the default value. Does it make a difference if the table does or does not have an index on the atab? The PK is an ID.
Please help

Php/MySQL database insert record issue...

I have a php page that adds an "order" to a mysql database table (orders). One text field in the form is for tires/wheels. The description of the wheels often includes the " symbol for inches after a number....Everything submits fine, however when I look at the page that displays the orders all the data after the " symbol including the " symbol is gone... DOes anyone have any idea why this may be happening? It is requiring us to return and edit that area repeatedly. Any help is appreciated greatly. Thanks for your time.

Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP - show variable from PHP in app

I have searched for hours and I can't figure this out…
Is there a way to somehow "echo" my PHP code in my MXML file ?
I know you can't echo something from PHP to MXML, so here's what I have done :
I get my informations from my database, I need to show an image and its title, so I put the following code in a variable :
<mx:Image id="laniraBlanche" x="25" y="65" width="210" height="126" source="'.$row->image_mini.'" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" rollOut="outPicture()" /> <s:Label x="25" y="155.85" text="'.$row->nom.'" width="210" textAlign="center" height="37" fontSize="19" backgroundColor="#676666" verticalAlign="middle" fontFamily="Georgia" color="#FFFFFF" click="selectLaniraBlanche()" rollOver="seePicture()" id="laniraBlancheTxt" rollOut="outPicture()" />'
Then, I return that variable.
I find the function where my var created is returned from the "Data/Service" tab, I am on Design mode on Flash Builder, and I "drop" my function where I want my image and text to show on my app.
I tryed dropping it in a "group", it doesn't show anything. I tryed several other options, and nothing worked.
So my question is, how could I have this code created in PHP show on my application ?
Thank you for your help

I also have Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP and the ANT view does not show when going to Window -> Show View --> Other. I could not find it in any of the folders.
However, I was able to add it by hitting Command 3 (CTRL 3 on PC) and typing Ant.

Does anybody know what should i do?
Many thanks.

PHP/MySQL Insert Record

I've got a multi page form that carries values across
multiple pages with the use of Hidden Fields and then on last page
inserts the record into a MySQL database (for this I used the built
in Insert Record function of dreamweaver). My problem is that it
works well when using Internet Explorer, values are carried forward
and everything is inserted successfully to the database.
But, when using Mozilla Firefox it looks as if it works, I
get the confirmation at the end, but the record is not being
inserted to the database. I've worked through this step by step and
the values are being carried across in the hidden fields but it
just will not insert anything to the database.
Has anyone got any ideas??
Thank you in advance.

It's probably not so much MySQL syntax that's the problem for
you, but a
lack of understanding how to work with Dreamweaver
recordsets, server
behaviors, and sessions. Building database-driven sites with
Dreamweaver
isn't difficult, but there are a lot of things involved.
The Log In User server behavior automatically creates a
session variable
called $_SESSION['MM_Username']. You can use this as a
parameter to pass
to the SQL query in the Advanced Recordset dialog box. In the
SQL area
you would type (I'm guessing the name of your table and the
username
column):
SELECT landlord_id FROM landlords
WHERE landlord_username = 'col1'
Then click the plus button above the Variables area, and
create a
Parameter with the following values:
Name: col1
Default value: 1
Runtime value: $_SESSION['MM_Username']
You can then extract the result of the recordset, and assign
it to a
session variable like this:
$_SESSION['landlord_id'] = $row_recordsetName['landlord_id'];
> Also, I understand that I need to do this on the login
page, but do I need to

I guess I'm still not
> quite clear on how I specify the session variable as the
value that needs to be
> entered in the sites table as the landlord_ID.
As long as the session is still valid (which it would be if
you use
Restrict Access to Page), you will always have access to that
landlord's
id through $_SESSION['landlord_id'].

Passing Variables From PHP to Java Applet ?

I took one page of a project which was written entirely in PHP, and translated it into a JAVA applet, so as to support better GUI funcitonalities (immediate calculation and display of Time/Billing data, on LostFocus events...stuff like this).
In any case - I need to pass four variables from the php scripts, to the Java Applet. I had initially, written them out from the php scripts to an html file on the server, and read them in from the applet doing something like this:
.     this.m_TheURL = new URL(url);
     InputStream in = m_TheURL.openStream();
     DataInputStream data = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(in));
     while ((unparsed = data.readLine()) != null)
// parsed the strings here and got my variables
The URL I read from, was the same file I wrote out to from the PHP scripts. This worked fine - until I told my boss about it, and realised that this wasnt going to work - because the applet updates a MySql database, and issues regarding multiple users became apparent.
The Applet has to get these variables from the previous PHP page, the same way it had - before my applet was an applet, and it was just another PHP script page.
The PHP pages are passing variabes using CGI, and a PostGet function. My applet has to do the same thing.
Anybody know how I can do this - safely ?

Updated some code... in case people wanted to use it....
<?php
class JavaApplet {
     var $param;
     function setParam($name, $value) {
          $temp1 = array("name" => $name, "value" => $value);
          $this->param = array_merge($this->param, $temp1);
     function delParam($name) {
         foreach ($this->param as $key => $value) {
              if ($key = $name) {
                   unset( $this->param["$id"]);
     function echo_html() {
          echo '<applet code=TimeEntry.class width=600 height=90 >';
          foreach ($this->param as $value) {
               foreach ($value as $key => $value2) {
                    echo '<param name="' . $key . '" value="' . $value2 . '">';
          echo '</applet>';
$applet = &New JavaApplet;
$applet->setParam("name1", "value");
$applet->setParam("name2", "value");
$applet->setParam("name3", "value");
$applet->echo_html();
?>

How do I insert a session variable into a record?

I can’t figure out how to insert the value passed by a
session variable into a record.
I have a form I want to use to insert a record. I pass
session variables to this page and want to insert one of them into
the record. The session information is:
session_start();
$_SESSION['usename'] = $_POST['username'];
$idvar = $_SESSION['id'];
$_SESSION[‘id’] is the user_id that I want to
insert into the record.
I know $idvar is getting to the page with the form because I
can echo it.
The insert code looks like this:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) &&
($_POST["MM_insert"] == "register")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO h_genres (user_id,
username, contrib_to, Advertising, Annual_Reports, Leader_Content,
Member_Content, Brochures) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['user_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['username'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['contrib_to'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Advertising']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Annual_Reports']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Leader_Content']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Member_Content']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Brochures']) ? "true" : "",
"defined","'Y'","'N'"));
mysql_select_db($database_hauw, $hauw);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $hauw) or
die(mysql_error());
I have a hidden field for the user_id:
<input name="user_id" type="hidden" id="user_id" />
I think I need to get the value in $idvar into user_id but I
don’t know how.
Any help is appreciated.

Inserting records from Infopath forms library to a SQL table

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to populate records from a Infopath forms library to a SQL table in a database. We have written a console app to achive the same. However we are encountering performance issues when inserting records in the database. The
way we retreive information from Infopath forms library is through a CAML query and then insert record by record in database. Is their a better and faster way to acheive this?
Can someone pls help?
thanks,
Anand
Thanks and Regards, Anand R. Deshpande

the problem is nothing your showed.   did you see a security warning that you ignored?
to test, if that's the problem go here and adjust your security settings: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml
if that fails, upload your files to a server and confirm everything works. then start working on your local configuration.

Defining a spry data set from a url variable

I am developing a family web site that, among other things, uses a single 'recipe' page to display recipes from different xml files as called by a url variable (e.g. ?xmlFile="{url}"&recipeName="{name}") from a summary page. I can get the recipe name to reproduce using a $_GET php function, but I cannot establish the data set that way. How can I define the data set from the incoming URL variable? The necessary files are:
The starting point from which I send the selected URL variable (use the scampi recipe) http://ebogott.com/recipeBox.php.
The file that is generated is http://ebogott.com/recipe.php?XMLfile=GrilledScampiOnAngelHair.xml&recipeName=Grilled%20Sh rimp%20Scampi%20on%20Angel%20Hair%20Pasta
This methodology will allow me a number of cascading selections. I know this is not unique. I just haven't figured it out.
