What do you mean by it won't let you add tables or fields?

!!!!! Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person"); My mistake - I put the wrong table name there. What do you mean by it won't let you add tables or fields? It just won't add the table... And when I added that snippet of code you gave me to read all the fields from the table, it gave me the error at the top of my last post. One second, I'll try that "," instead of ";"... EDIT: With the "," instead of ";" I still get the same error, but I guess that really doesn't relate to the fetch method.

Yesideez Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That comma shouldn't be there as no other table data is following - age is the last field.

!!!!! Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 That comma shouldn't be there as no other table data is following - age is the last field. Ya, I changed the last comma after 'age' to a semicolon, but I still get Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/neomoonc/public_html/mysql.php on line 26 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58617-phpmyadmin-help-needed/page/2/#findComment-290891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The best thing I can recommend is going into phpMyAdmin via cPanel and checking the database. Controlling the database purely via PHP is a bit like working blind.

Yesideez Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm going to have to go and get some sleep as it's 1:35am here. Been driving all over Devon trying to find a new place to live and I'm completely shattered! At least while using phpMyAdmin you can run queries from there and as you perform operations on your database, it'll show you the queries as well so you can also use it as a teaching aid.

!!!!! Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 The best thing I can recommend is going into phpMyAdmin via cPanel and checking the database. Controlling the database purely via PHP is a bit like working blind. Hmm... Okay, but I wanted to make a 'reply' system for suggestions from people and I was going to use MySQL to do it. Each field being a reply. I know it's a little risky giving them power lol, but I'll make something to delete some replies. I'll still be able to let people reply with PHP right? All I should do with PHPMyAdmin is make the tables? Then I can add fields through PHP easily? EDIT: Thanks for the help, see ya.

teng84 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 if assoc is the prob then the error is in the select statement any way i edit the code and read the comment <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $host = "localhost"; $user = "--edited--"; $pass = "--edited--"; $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass)ordie('Could not connect: '. mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("neomoonc?p?bb1",$con);// put the proper name of your db???? $sql = "CREATE TABLE person (firstname varchar(25),lastname varchar(25),age int(10))"; //this may work but y need to create table over and over again mysql_query("INSERT INTO person (firstname,lastname,age) VALUES ('".$_POST['firstname']."', '".$_POST['lastname']."', '".$_POST['age']."')"); $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM people");//person or people while ($fetch=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { echo $fetch['firstname'].'

Yesideez Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Last pressie before I go: <?php if ($_POST['submit']) { $user = "--edited--"; $pass = "--edited--"; $dbh=mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$pass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: '.mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("neomoonc?p?bb1",$con); //$sql = "CREATE TABLE person (firstname varchar(25),lastname varchar(25),age int(10))"; if (mysql_query("INSERT INTO person (firstname,lastname,age) VALUES ('".$_POST['firstname']."', '".$_POST['lastname']."', '".$_POST['age']."')")) { $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person"); while ($fetch=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { echo $fetch['firstname'].' '.$fetch['lastname'].' is '.$fetch['age'].'<br />'; } } else {echo 'Unable to insert the data into teh table';} } ?> <html> <head> <title>MySQL Test</title> </head> <body> <form name="input" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <input type="text" name="firstname"> <input type="text" name="lastname"> <input type="text" name="age"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> I added a short piece to check if the data gets inserted into the table. If it doesn't it doesn't bother to try and read the table. I also corrected the name of teh table in the SELECT query. As I said - best to check the status of the database using phpMyAdmin. @teng84: If you don't surround your code in CODE tags and line breaks in any HTML don't appear as HTML!

!!!!! Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 ya sorry and take a sleep now Night all Goodnight. Okay lol... New Problem... I figured why not try making a reply system. So, I edited just a little bit... Here's my new 2 things: (By the way, if you want to see the error for yourself go here: www.neo-moon.com/input.php ) <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $host = "localhost"; $user = "--edited--"; $pass = "--edited--"; $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass)ordie('Could not connect: '. mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("neomoonc_main",$con);// put the proper name of your db?Huh //this may work but y need to create table over and over again mysql_query("INSERT INTO reply (reply) VALUES ('".$_POST['reply']."')"); $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM reply");//person or people while ($fetch=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { echo $fetch['reply'].' '; } mysql_close($con); } ?> and for the HTML: <Html> <head> <title>MySQL Test</title> </heaD> <body> <form name="input" action="mysql.php" method="post"> Reply (Max length = 255):<br> <input type="text" name="reply" maxlength="255"><br> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58617-phpmyadmin-help-needed/page/2/#findComment-290905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
