The first record for each unique `x` group is returned if no group by function is applied to `y`, but apparently there is no guarantee of this happening.

remove the semicolon in the query string.

I thought `<` is a linux piping command, nothing to do with php - contact your server admin.

use mysql; select * from user; Makes sense not to be able to list all the users without permission to the mysql table.

if the test connection was succesful then you can be assured there is an issue with the connection string that is responsible for the connection used by the page producing the error... like artacus initially deduced.

are you sure you are not connecting as an anonymous user that has no permissions? create a basic connection file on the server for testing like this, straight out of the php manual, to verify the connection settings: <?php // Connecting, selecting database $link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database'); // Performing SQL query $query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table'; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error()); // Printing results in HTML echo "<table>\n"; while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "\t<tr>\n"; foreach ($line as $col_value) { echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n"; } echo "\t</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n"; // Free resultset mysql_free_result($result); // Closing connection mysql_close($link); ?>

I do not know much about free web hosting... try a google search or search these forums for a previous topic related to free hosting.

The connection details required should be available from the database host, in this case, yahoo - check the faq at yahoo?

I suppose extract(year from birthdate) would be faster than round(datediff(CURRENT_DATE, birthdate) / 365) and if the following is correct than extracting the date is substantially quicker: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS birthdate; CREATE TABLE birthdate ( id int(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, birthdate DATE NOT NULL )TYPE=MYISAM; INSERT INTO birthdate SET birthdate = '1974-12-03'; INSERT INTO birthdate (birthdate) SELECT adddate(birthdate, 1) FROM birthdate; # repeated a number of times SELECT count(*) FROM birthdate; # records created 2097152 SELECT count(round(datediff(CURRENT_DATE, birthdate) / 365)) AS test FROM birthdate; # average around 922 ms SELECT count(extract(year from birthdate)) AS test FROM birthdate; # average around 328 ms

notepad was commenting on the server setup I work from home with WIMP (windows, IIS, mysql, php) and upload to a work server that is LAMP (linux, apache, mysql, php) both old versions of php and mysql so I am no help.. a google search on windows IIS php mysql install instructions should provide plenty of helpful information. Just make sure what ever versions of php and mysql you install on your local machine for testing is the same as what is available on the production server!!

This query seems to work: SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY id = 5 desc, id

Extract the chapter and part number to create decimal values Walkthrough Chapter 2: A Red Letter Day - Part 3 Walkthrough Chapter 3: Route Kanal - Part 1 Walkthrough Chapter 3: Route Kanal - Part 2 Walkthrough Chapter 30: Route Kanal - Part 2 would be 2.3 3.1 3.2 30.2 cast over to a float and sort as normal.... that would work, right?

Check the grant permissions for the username.

heh.. I do not actually know of particular tutorials from experience but noticed this site has a few links from the front page to tutorials... try those!

a cronjob that runs the following query every hour INSERT INTO temperature SELECT currentTemp + 1, MinTemp, MaxTemp, Time FROM temperature ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;

oh ok - that is the part I misunderstood.. so you will still need WHERE round(datediff(CURRENT_DATE, birthdate) / 365) BETWEEN $fAge AND $tAge

I am actually not sure what you are asking but this should calculate the age based on a birthdate SELECT round(datediff(CURRENT_DATE, birthdate) / 365) AS age FROM dating_profile;

MySQL and php are free server technologies unlike windows and access and possibly the reason they are a cheaper server alternative... spend some time going over tutorials here and you should have no troubles migrating to mysql and php.

verify all the data before inserting a single record... SQLyog has an import from csv feature.

well... I can't figure a way around this problem without creating a seperate function.

Rename the column or wrap the column name with backticks - ie. `show`

have you tried removing PRIMARY or adding the word KEY and consider changing userSignupDate datetime NOT NULL default="now()", to userSignupDate timestamp NOT NULL default timestamp, remove all the = signs and define the primary key either in the column definition or the statement footer

I can't find anyway to get a match count with REGEXP.... hmm.

are the numbers stored: number and semicolon? or just number, then semicolon and number... though you could always concat a semicolon to all the fields if the later is evident and then search for number and semicolon.

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE mydate > subdate(now(), 30) GROUP BY clli;
