Is there a limit on how many else if statement you can use? I am getting a PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS about the fifth one down. if($productform == 'Shinform') $productselect = Shin; elseif($productform == 'Littleform') $productselect = Little; elseif($productform == 'Manform') $productselect = Man; elseif($productform == 'Smithform') $productselect = Smith; elseif ($productform == 'Classform') $productselect = Class; elseif($productform == 'OregonOform') $productselect = OregonO; elseif($productform == 'OregonFform') $productselect = OregonF; elseif($productform == 'Troyform') $productselect = Troy; elseif($productform == 'Whiteform') $productselect = White; elseif($productform == 'Trenchform') $productselect = Trench; else echo $URL="http://www.mysite.com/nodealerselect.html"; header ("Location: $URL");

Can you do just as much with php as you can with visual basic and asp? The reason i'm asking is, I have a client who has a big eccomerce site that was built by some programming company. The website was built with asp and visual basic. The my client wants me to build a storefront type website for his dealers that may be integrated with my clients eccomerce website. The website along with several executable programs are pulling information from a microsoft sql server. I have only created small applications with visual basic transfering data in and out of a mysql database. I have never really looked at asp before. I'm on a role learning php, I don't want to get off track. I don't want to waste my time learning asp and visual basic if I can do everything that I need to with php. What would be the best thing for me to do in this situation?

hello, I use php with my mysql database a lot. I just had something come up where I need to access data from a microsoft sql database. Are there many problems with connecting php with a microsoft sql database? Would I be better off to use something like visual basic with asp? `Jake

Man. You don't know how much I appreciate you helping me. It works great now. Thanks.

that concat is right. I'm getting: There was an error reading from the database: You have an error in you SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near " at line 1

Hello, I just got started with Visual Basic a few weeks ago. I have a text field named txtZipbox and a button named btnZip. I am wanting to retrieve the data WHERE my Zip column = what someone typed in the txtZipbox. I get an error back saying that txtZipbox.Text is not a column. I know that it's not a column. What do I need to add onto this to make it happen? `Jake Private Sub btnZip_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnZip.Click Dim conn As New MySqlConnection Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand Dim myAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter Dim myData As New DataTable Dim SQL As String SQL = "SELECT * FROM smithssc WHERE Zip = txtZipbox.Text" conn.ConnectionString = myConnString Try conn.Open() Try myCommand.Connection = conn myCommand.CommandText = SQL myAdapter.SelectCommand = myCommand myAdapter.Fill(myData) dgvStatus.DataSource = myData dgvStatus.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells Catch myerror As MySqlException MsgBox("There was an error reading from the database: " & myerror.Message) End Try Catch myerror As MySqlException MessageBox.Show("Error connecting to the database: " & myerror.Message) Finally If conn.State <> ConnectionState.Closed Then conn.Close() End Try End Sub

Hello, I just got visual studios 2005 professional edition. I am going to learn to to build a program with it for my user so he can manipulate data in a MySQL database that is located across the country. I have been studying PHP and now I am just now getting into these other languages. Is visual basic the right program for what I am trying to do? I heard that C# is what most people are using now days. I just want to spend my time learning the right language. Also, is this very doable to have build a program that will connect to a MySQL database located in an entire different location? Thanks, `Jake

I was having the same issue! Thank you soo much for this! `Jake

Ok I got it now. Thank you soo much. `Jake

I am getting a PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function n12br(). Is their another function close to this that will take a string as a parameter and replace all the newlines in it with the xhtml <br /> tag or the <br> tag? Example: $mailcontent = 'Customer name: '.$name."\n" .'Customer email: '.$email."\n" ."Customer comments: \n".$feedback."\n"; <p><?php echo n12br($mailcontent); ?></p>

right, when the rows are echoed out onto the page they are much different. I want them all to be exactly aligned the same.

Hey, I am using a while loop to retrieve some rows. I am having a hard time keeping my cells aligned right. echo "<table>"; while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { echo"<tr><td>"; echo$myrow["Dealer"]; echo"</td><td>"; echo$myrow["Address"]; echo"</td><td>"; echo$myrow["City"]; echo"</td><td>"; echo$myrow["State"]; echo"</td><td>"; echo$myrow["Zip"]; echo'</td>'; //echo"<td>"; //echo "Zip code <b>$key</b> is <b>$value</b> miles away from <b>97214</b>.<br />"; } echo "</table>"; What would be the correct way to do this?

I've been trying to figure this out. Could someone please give me some direction with what I am trying to do?

Ok, I have tryed different things with this and nothing i've come up with has worked. What I have is a PHP Class and MySQL table to find the distance between zip codes and * find all zip codes within a given mileage or kilometer range. I have a table named zip_code with all 40000 zip codes in it. The program works great when calculating a distance between two zips, and returning zips within a given range. What I am trying to do is add onto the code to have it select from a table I have created called "smithssc" the dealers within range. I have 5 colums in the table: Dealer, Address, City, State, and Zip. I was trying to add something like this onto it. I am not connecting my dots right. $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM smithssc WHERE Zip = '$key'", $db); echo "<table>"; while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { echo"<tr><td>"; echo$myrow["Dealer"]; echo"<td>"; echo$myrow["Address"]; echo"<td>"; echo$myrow["City"]; echo"<td>"; echo$myrow["State"]; echo"<td>"; echo$myrow["Zip"]; } echo "</table>"; Using this will not pull anything up with that variable $key.

Should I be using mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_array()? I know this is something really small. All i'm trying to do is get the rows from that zip code column after the calculation has been made.

If you are using an FTP program like smart ftp or cute ftp you can rightclick on the file and select permissions. Dreamweaver has the same thing. Also, if your hosting service has a control panel you can usually go to where the files are and you will see like a 644 or whatever next to the file. Click on that and you should be able to change it there too. `Jake

Do you have more of the code?

Sometimes if you have the code as <? rather that <?php the page will come up blank as well.

Do you mean like $DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
