[Strip comma at end of loop]

something like this

$glue=""; 
foreach($yourarray as $item)
{
print($glue."[". $current_month .",". number_format($remaining_balance, "2", ".", ",") . "]");
$glue=","; 
}

[Days until timestamp?]

$days=ceil(strtotime($future_timestamp)-strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))/86400)

[select last row]

also if you're looking for the last inserted id I would use this

select last_insert_id() as lastid from table limit 1 

 

that actually gets the id of the last row inserted by the current connection. This saves you headaches further down the road if you get more than one connection putting data into your database.

[How to get the first element in the Associative array.]

also if you're going to have more than one character it would look like this.

$characters = array
(
   array 
   (
   "name"=>"Joe",
   "occupation"=>"Programmer",
   "age"=>30,
    "Learned language "=>"Java"
    )
);

foreach($characters as $character)
{

[Sanitizing database input without storing bashslashes in the database?]

it sounds like magic_quotes_gpc is on  try turning it off in .htaccess with

"php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off"    

or you can stripslashes($string) on your output

[how do i extract a local client PC private IP address with PHP]

You can't with php because php is server side so it can't see the local lan for your client. You may be able to with javascript.

[how to use session_id('my_session_id') after the first page]

I'm pretty sure its as easy as.

 

session_start("yourcustomsessionname"); 

then just use that to start the session at the top of each page that will use it.

 

[grab text from textarea and store in session]

not without using ajax to send to the server then redirect to your next page. At that point you might as well just submit the form. Since you're going to another page anyways.

[Special chars get converted when inserted into MYSQL database via PHP]

[Total of looper region?]

[my status echos are on the top of my page...]

It's probably because your using tables and your echo is not in the table structure. Just lay out your table structure so it includes your echo.

as best as I can tell

$age=520;
$remainder=$age%50;  // % gets the remainder of division 
$amount=floor($age/50);   // divide by 50 then round down.  Gets the number of times 50 goes in to the age. 

// loop for each time 50 goes into $age
for($a=0;$a<$amount;$a++)
{
// send 50 to your site
} 
// send remainder to your site

 

[Checking radio button according to database content]

I think you're in the wrong forum. This looks like a variant of ASP.  Definitely not PHP.  PHP opening and closing tags would be <?php ?>

[would this work?]

It's combining your 2 queries.  It's selecting everything from comments and users where the name in comments = the name in users  and Comments.id=$t

 

let's say I have this table structure

Comments

 

comments                                                                  name                        id

Hi long time lurker, first time poster                      tom                            1

Am I the only on here?                                            tom                            2

 

Users                                   

name                            id

tom                                1

 

This query

select * from Comments JOIN Users on Comments.Name=Users.Name where Comments.id=1

would give you

 

Comments.comment

Hi long time lurker, first time poster 

Comments.name

tom

Comments.id

1

Users.name

tom

Users.id

1

 

 

[would this work?]

it would kind of work.

Something like this would work better.

<?php

$result4 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comments JOIN Users on Comments.Name=Users.NameWHERE Comments.id=$t");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result4));
   {
    $to      = $row['email'];
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
  }
?>

[Confusing mysql_fetch_row output problem]

use mysql_fetch_assoc instead.   

 

mysql_fetch_row returns a numerically indexed array.

 

mysql_fetch_assoc returns an associative array.

[Script taking a long time to run. (Send mail)]

first thing I noticed

$num =   mssql_num_rows($rs);
if ( $num !=0 ) 
{
           if (mssql_num_rows($rs)) 
         {

could be shortened to

if(mssql_num_rows($rs)!=0)
{

 

[Just a small query problem. Easy one!]

if this

$sql = "SELECT * FROM inbox WHERE product_id = '".$_GET['id']."' AND from != 'admin'";

works

 

Then so should this

$sql = "SELECT * FROM inbox WHERE product_id = '".$_GET['id']."'";

[Need help with correct syntax for "if" condition]

this should work

$bigstring = "automobile";
$littlestring = "mobile";
if( !strpos($bigstring, $littlestring) ) {
// Do something
}

you had an extra "("

[what is?... Word wrap question]

It's a line break for a text file.  "\r\n" would cover unix and windows.

[strtotime -1 day, with a variable]

This should do it.

echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_GET['search'],"+1 Days"));

[I'm sure you know, click here if you dare!!]

I don't think you asked a question or told us what the problem is.    <-  Me trying to read your mind.

[mysql_num_rows question.]

It's probably returning False because it couldn't connect, you didn't select a database, query is bad etc..
