nathanmaxsonadil Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think it would be wise if the sql forum and the php forum were merged OR tell the moderator's that a query is php. because if I ask anything to do with query's(remember that's php) in the php forum(where it belongs.) I get's moved to a dead forum(mysql forum)... Now it would be terrible if php.net has a sister site that was sql.net and any function that had a query or anything to do with mysql in it would be moved there...

redbullmarky Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 the two technologies are totally different and are broad enough to warrant their own section. each moderator uses their own judgement to move it to somewhere more likely to get you better help - PHP experts tend to lurk in PHP Help, MySQL experts in Mysql help, etc - so if your issue involves an issue with a mysql query (which is NOT php at all) then the MySQL forum is the best place for it. By your own deduction, how is a query a PHP thing and not relevent to MySQL? Just because you wrap a query in quotes and slap a variable on the start, doesnt make it PHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nope. Euh.. I mean no merging. Noobs will post their MySQL in PHP help, the rest will post in the proper board, that's how things work unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akitchin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 MySQL may seem like a dead board, but i'll bet that pound for pound it gets more solutions (and better / faster ones) than PHP help, namely due to the help of people like fenway. you may have to wait longer, but the chances that you get a working solution the first time are greater.

448191 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 ~15 posts a day hardly makes a dead board IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Now it would be terrible if php.net has a sister site that was sql.net and any function that had a query or anything to do with mysql in it would be moved there... That would be expected. They are two different things, that can be (and are often) used independently of each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akitchin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i have a feeling you misunderstand why some of the topics end up in MySQL while others stay in PHP. if there is an actual syntax error with the query itself, that falls under the domain of MySQL as MySQL is the language with which you query. if there is an error in the PHP that runs the query (or any of the processing it does), it belongs in PHP help. they are distinct domains.

fenway Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think it would be wise if the sql forum and the php forum were merged OR tell the moderator's that a query is php. because if I ask anything to do with query's(remember that's php) in the php forum(where it belongs.) I get's moved to a dead forum(mysql forum)... Now it would be terrible if php.net has a sister site that was sql.net and any function that had a query or anything to do with mysql in it would be moved there... If you have a problem getting data from MySQL, it's a mysql problem -- independent of what scripting language you choose. Once you have the result set, how you display it is a php problem. I don't see where the confusion lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teng84 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i believe its not proper to ask normalization and other stuff like that in php so i guess it should be in separate portion of this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
