I'm using a classified ads script that I want to modify. Although I have zero experience using PHP I've managed to link the classified script with my MYsql database, in addition to modifying the look of the site to the way I want. I'll explain the modification that I want: When you post an ad on my site I want the information to be listed vertically in the form of a box with the main information present within the box, not horizontally like a craiglist ad, which is how it looks right now. I want the next ad thats posted (also in a box) to be placed alongside, to the left of the previous ad, pushing it to the right. Its like choosing between list view or gallery view on ebay. I want the ads to be only viewed in a gallery mode. I want 5 columns/spaces for 5 boxes accross, and 10 rows down before the ad gets pushed to the next page. I hope this makes sense. How hard will it be to create a script that can do this? Do I need to know more than just PHP?

Hi all, I'm fairly new with PHP/HTML and I'm working on implementing a simple comment field for a website I'm designing. The issue I'm having is that the comment field seems to only display integers, and not strings. Other then not displaying words, I'm not getting any errors. The database seems to be working fine, however it's only saving Integers, and not Strings. I've checked the columns and the one which is holding the comments is using type "text", and the ID is "int". I don't believe the issue is with the table, but rather somewhere with the PHP. Here is the code below: <?php 02 mysql_connect("localhost","root","changeme"); 03 mysql_select_db("certestdb"); 04 $comment=$_POST['comment']; 05 $submit=$_POST['submit']; 06 07 08 $dbLink = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "changeme"); 09 mysql_query("SET character_set_client=utf8", $dbLink); 10 mysql_query("SET character_set_connection=utf8", $dbLink); 11 12 13 14 if (!empty($_POST)) { 15 //$comment=$_POST['comment']; 16 //$submit=$_POST['submit']; 17 18 19 if($submit) { 20 if($comment) { 21 $insert=mysql_query("INSERT INTO comment (comment) VALUES ($comment) "); 22 } else { 23 echo "please fill out all fields"; 24 } 25 } 26 } 27 28 ?> 29 30 <html> 31 <head> 32 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> 33 <title>Comment box</title> 34 </head> 35 <div style="width:100px; height:100px; margin: 2 auto;"> 36 <body> 37 <center> 38 <form name="comment.php" method="post" action=""> 39 <table> 40 <tr><td colspan="2">Comments: </td></tr> 41 <tr><td colspan="5"><textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="150"></textarea></td></tr> 42 <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Comment"></td></tr> 43 </table> 44 </form> 45 46 <?php 47 $dbLink = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "changeme"); 48 mysql_query("SET character_set_results=utf8", $dbLink); 49 50 51 52 $getquery=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comment ORDER BY id DESC"); 53 while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($getquery)) { 54 $id=$rows['id']; 55 $comment=$rows['comment']; 56 echo $comment . '<br/>' . '<br/>' . '<hr size="1"/>'; 57 } 58 59 ?> 60 61 </body> 62 </html> If anyone might know what is causing this and could help, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!
