Has anyone tried using the excel import function that comes with phpmyadmin
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ - it does not require any additional plug-ins or scripts and
is fairly straightforward to use. In phpmyadmin, if you click on the database table which you wish
to import the data to , there is a link on the bottom left corner which says "insert data from a
text file into the table" - although it says text file it still can be used to import an excel file.
When you click on this link you will be taken to a page where you will be asked for the file name

Hi guys. I want t know if it is posible to have so many entries for one object in a field in MySQL.
I know my question may not be clear because I lack in terminology but pliz try and help. What I want
to do is for axample have a database of my clients with the following fields for every client:
fname, lname, more than one photos, contrubutions(comments, jokes, testimonials posted) etc. I want
to have the things like the photos in the same field but they have to be unique so that my php code
can deal with them individually llike they are coming from different fields....

Hi, I am creating a website in php and using a mysql database to store the data. I want to store
time data in the database. My question is what is the best datatype I should use and how do I read
the time from the database and format(display) it using php ?...

I hope I am on topic here (It does have to do with web design, after all). I have noticed that in a
MySQL database, the 'id' field just keeps its numbers for every record, with the backdraw
that, whenever you remove (a) record(s) from the table, you get your list numbered as eg.
1,5,6,7,12,25 etc. This makes it a bit difficult of keeping track of the number of records in your
table. Is there a way of achieving (either in PHPMyAdmin or through the use of PHP) that the id
field in your table gets sort of 'refreshed and updated' so you have a clearer view...

I use a nice program (which I helped to beta test) called ' Simfatic Forms ' to generate
forms on web pages. The only problem is that it does not (yet) support MySQL databases, it saves the
form data as a .CSV file. Now I was wondering if you can do the same with a .CSV file as you do
with a MySQL databse, ie. displaying the data in that file on a web page which adjusts automatically
as data are added to the file. To clarify: eg. if I make a form to sign a petition online, the data
are saved to a .CSV file every time someone fills in the form, is it now possibl...

I've been conducting some research over the last couple of years and have come to a phase that I
need to put up an online instructory course. It's hardly a website, but it'll consist of a
text box where users are to write a sentence provided to them and while they type, as the keys are
pressed, corresponding .wav files will play. Much like a keyboarding class, a set of sentences and
sounds have already been pre-made to specifications...I've been told that I...

Is there a way to make text flash on a webpage as i think it would be cool can anyone help??????? i

I found a nice program which allows you to put quizzes on your web site. You can design your own
questions, set the layout of your page, and there is also a possibility of having the results
emailed to you. It further offers a facility to store the results and all that, all you have to do
is put a link in the program, telling it which page takes care of that. However, when I look at the
HTML code the program generates, I see that most of it is written in Javascript. Obviously, it also
uses variable names, but as I don't know any Java, I was wondering if those variab...

If I wanted to use an ID field which automatically increments when data are addad, but displays the
ID as a 5 figure number, which data type would I have to use? I would want a type that assigns a
number to a record in the format "00001", "00002", etc. However, when I use "int" as datatype, it
only displays th field contents as "1", "2" etc. So, which data type could do the job for me? i do
not need a decimal point or anything, just an id that displays in 5 figures, including the leading
zeros. Thanks in advance....

Hi, on my local machine (with Apache 2.0, PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0) I come across weird things. I
have successfully made a table, but when I try to enter data into it it just will not accept the
empty string for the first field (id). This was the creation line: QUOTE $query="CREATE
TABLE members (id int(20) auto_increment,first varchar(15) NOT NULL,last varchar(15) NOT NULL,phone
varchar(20) NOT NULL,mobile varchar(20) NOT NULL,fax varchar(20) NOT NULL,email varchar(30) NOT

If you have set a root password, but forgot what it was, you can set a new password with the
following procedure: 1. Take down the mysqld server by sending a kill (not kill-9) to the mysqld
server. The pid is stored in a `.pid' file, which is normally in the MySQL database directory:
shell> kill `cat /mysql-data-directory/hostname.pid` You must be either the Unix root user or the
same user mysqld runs as to do this. 2. Restart mysqld with the --skip-grant-tables option. 3. Set
a new password with the mysqladmin password command: shell> mysqladmin -u root password &...

I want to start getting my website hammered out, and I realize that I'm not exactly sure how to
balance an attractive design with basic readability. I generally don't like templates and
programs, preferring to work things out from the bottom up as much as possible. I've got some
basic HTML "programming" under my belt, but everything I learned was 5+ years ago, and before CSS.
If possible, I'd like to design something with a "frame" effect over the top of the page and on
the left all the way down with a background for menus and buttons, with the backgrou...

How do you combine multiple mysql databases into one database? I was thinking thta soem servers
restrict you to one to five mysql databases. If I have a dynamic part of a table on my site, I
would use one database for that. For every table of dynamic information, I use one database. Can I
streamline what I am doing and combine all of my databases into one? I could make multipple tables
in the same database. Would that work? thanks...

I'm not a professional web developer but I've learned a lot since I used Macromedia
Dreamweaver. The latest version 8 supports PHP 5. If you select PHP as your working language, you
can use this software to automatically add dynamic content to your website with MySQL as a
requisite. If you have a MySQL database containing records like a songs information database, then
you might probably not be able to add a good search page to your website which will search records
in the database. I faced the same problem, but now I'm able to create one sophisticated datab...

the best way to start php is probably not adjusting a script IMO - that misses out a stage. - the
very first stage - here... Why use php? because it allows things to be generated very quickly -
without lots of html pages. It enables users you choose to allow, to input their own content to the
pages you want them to. 1) save these files as anyfilename.php - pick your names, upload them to a
php enabled server and go to the url they are at... 2) understand , .php, //////, /* */, and ;
Code: ?> THis tells the web browser when to expect php coding. So... wh...
