Get supplier names for suppliers who do not supply part P2
Barand replied to polaryeti's topic in PostgreSQL
To find records where there is no match in another table you use a LEFT JOIN. Data from the the second table where there is no match will contain NULL values. SELECT s.name FROM supplier s LEFT JOIN shipment sh ON s.suppid = sh.suppid AND sh.prodid = 'P2' WHERE sh.suppid IS NULL -
P.S. Recommend you use INNODB tables rather than MyISAM

Auto_incremented columns must be defined as a key

A couple of possibilities spring to mind. Are the definition and the usage of the variable inside the same scope; for example - is it used inside a function but defined outside that function? Is the definition inside a conditional block of code (eg if() )so that it has not been executed because the condition was false?

Unable to pass variable into function inside array_map()
Barand replied to ppowell777's topic in PHP Coding Help
To include a variable that is defined externally to the map function you need "use()" $calcArray = [ 34, 56, 82 ]; $total = 10; $calcArray = array_map ( function($v) use ($total) { return round($v / $total); }, $calcArray ); echo '<pre>' . print_r($calcArray, 1) . '</pre>'; Alternatively, you can use this syntax... $calcArray = [ 34, 56, 82 ]; $total = 10; $calcArray = array_map ( fn($v) => round($v / $total), $calcArray ); echo '<pre>' . print_r($calcArray, 1) . '</pre>'; See https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arrow.php -
Your form for entering new events would contain a dropdown listing organisations for the user to choose. The value of each dropdown option would br the organisation's id. This id is posted (with the other event data) for insertion into the event resord.

Logging every login by a registered user is the favoured option. Not only does it give you an audit trail of the logins but it adds functionality, such as being able to count logins in different time periods or determine most popular login times etc.

const LOG_READ_SIZE = 1024; Place that line somewhere in your code that is before you refer to LOG_READ_SIZE and where it will definitely be executed (EG not inside an IF() block.

PHP array... $data = [ 'store_id' => 'test', 'api_token' => 'test', 'checkout_id' => 'test', 'txn_total' => '4.00', 'environment' => 'qa', 'action' => 'preload', 'cart' => [ 'items' => [ [ 'description' => 'Item 1', 'unit_cost' => '1.00', 'quantity' => '3' ], [ 'description' => 'Item 2', 'unit_cost' => '1.00', 'quantity' => '1' ] ], 'subtotal' => '4.00' ] ]; $json = json_encode($data); echo $json; gives this json string (spaces and newlines added for readability) { "store_id":"test", "api_token":"test", "checkout_id":"test", "txn_total":"4.00", "environment":"qa", "action":"preload", "cart":{ "items":[ {"description":"Item 1", "unit_cost":"1.00", "quantity":"3" }, { "description":"Item 2", "unit_cost":"1.00", "quantity":"1" } ], "subtotal":"4.00" } }

JSON is a data structure converted to string format to make storage and transfer easier. Define your json as a a PHP string ... $json_str = ' { "store_id":"test", "api_token":"test", "checkout_id":"test", "txn_total":"4.00", "environment":"qa", "action":"preload", "cart":{ "items":[ { "description":"item 1", "unit_cost":"1.00", "quantity":"3" }, { "description":"item 2", "unit_cost":"1.00", "quantity":"1" } ], "subtotal":"4.00" } } '; Provided it is the correct format you use this in the api call. To use the data in PHP you need to decode it with json_decode()... $data = json_decode($json_str, true); # the second parameter "true" converts it to an array. # without it you get a php object. // view the resulting array data echo '<pre>' . print_r($data, 1) . '</pre>'; ... which gives us ... Array ( [store_id] => test [api_token] => test [checkout_id] => test [txn_total] => 4.00 [environment] => qa [action] => preload [cart] => Array ( [items] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [description] => item 1 [unit_cost] => 1.00 [quantity] => 3 ) [1] => Array ( [description] => item 2 [unit_cost] => 1.00 [quantity] => 1 ) ) [subtotal] => 4.00 ) )

How to get the current time and add 10 minutes?
Barand replied to rwahdan1978's topic in PHP Coding Help
If the only reason for that value is to write to the DB then you can do it in the insert query... INSERT INTO tablename (colx, coly, colz) VALUES (?, ?, NOW() + INTERVAL 10 MINUTE) -

Generate students postions based on marks scored in an exam
Barand replied to sule's topic in MySQL Help
Put this line just before the mysqli connection code... mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR|MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); Ensure error_reporting is ON. You should now get error messages if there are problems with a query. -
