Mysql Datatype Int() Question - Not sure what value to use inside int()

Can anyone clarify what the value in int() actually does?
CODE
CREATE TABLE job_class ( jc_id int(1) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, jc_index int(2) NOT NULL, jc_name varchar(20) NOT NULL, jc_type varchar(20) NOT NULL );
I was under the impression that any integer value used inside a () was the limit that data-type would have. In the PRIMARY KEY column I was able to add integer values 1-18. I'm kinda confused now If I can add 2 digit integers there then what is the point of assigning values inside brackets()
For the varchar() any number put in there does limit the character allowed. e.g 'test' inserted into varchar(2) would result in 'te'
As an extension to the SQL standard, MySQL also supports the integer types TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, and BIGINT. The following table shows the required storage and range for each of the integer types.
Another extension is supported by MySQL for optionally specifying the display width of integer data types in parentheses following the base keyword for the type (for example, INT(4)). This optional display width is used to display integer values having a width less than the width specified for the column by left-padding them with spaces.
The display width does not constrain the range of values that can be stored in the column, nor the number of digits that are displayed for values having a width exceeding that specified for the column. For example, a column specified as SMALLINT(3) has the usual SMALLINT range of -32768 to 32767, and values outside the range allowed by three characters are displayed using more than three characters.
When used in conjunction with the optional extension attribute ZEROFILL, the default padding of spaces is replaced with zeros. For example, for a column declared as INT(5) ZEROFILL, a value of 4 is retrieved as 00004. Note that if you store larger values than the display width in an integer column, you may experience problems when MySQL generates temporary tables for some complicated joins, because in these cases MySQL assumes that the data fits into the original column width.
Hi, I wanted to try just to test how can i connect my website to another mysql server, but i have no
idea how to insert the other mysql information such as port and host etc.... so here is the config
file please give me an example CODE <?php // mySQL information $server =

Is it possible to directly access my local database from my website? For example, if somebody
submits info on my website, the info they submitted would be transferred to my local database
directly. Is that possible? And if so, how do I set that up? The reason I don't want to upload
my database to my subdomain is because it would be difficult to keep the website database and my
local database in sync . . . or is there a way to do that? Thanks for any replies.....
I need your feedback about setting the database issues. Please, review them and correct some entries
in the code if they got some mistakes. This is the code itself: SQL CREATE TABLE
`news` ( `id` int(250) NOT NULL auto_increment, `title` varchar(255)
NOT NULL default '', `text` text NOT NULL, `author` varchar(255) NOT
NULL default '', `valid` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`date` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE = ....

Mysql, PHP, Apache downloads were easy enough. Then came the setup process. This seemed to be an
endless mess of going back and forth trying to get the programs to work together properly. Finaly I
got them working after about 48 hours. There are great tutorials on the setup process, but only one
or two actualy were easy enough for me to understand. I would like to see if I was the only one who
had issues with this setup. Are there easier ways to setup the three?....

This conflict happened between me and my so called best friends. The day before our school's
sports day, we had agree to wait for each other in front of the stadium's gate before entering.
We've promised to each other that we won't enter the stadium unless we are all there. So the
day came. We (me & my twin sis) were rushing to the stadium. But I had to wait for my father because
he's the one driving me and my twin sis there. Without him, we can't go! Aina (one of my
bff) called me on my cellie asking me where am I. I said I'm at home wait....
Hi, I'm trying to build an online game and figured the easiest way to do the server list would
be to make a mySQL database for it; however, I use the con() command on the IP i get from pinging my
website and I always get an abnormal program termination; however, it will work with the mySQL on my
own machine. The code is below: CODE #include <iostream> #include <iomanip>

So one day, I imagined something truly amazing, and wonderful. "What," I asked myself, "would it
taste like to have a pie inside a cake?" The more I thought about this wonderful possibility, the
more I was convinced it would be mighty delicious and truly amazing. To this day, I have eaten two
versions of the pie cake. Both have been truly incredible. The two versions I have devoured were:

stunned and awe-struck..... So? How do you make these tantilizing deserts? I&#....

Ok, so I'm making some arcade administration software so I don't have to add games the hard
way, well anyway, one of the features I have is that on the homepage is a featured author and as
such I just have it so it updates one line in the mySQL. Well, the page with the form passes on the
varibles fine and the updating page recieves them because I echoed everything, then I build the
query and I even echo the query and it comes out exactly how I want it to, but for some reason, the
database itself won't update even though all the varibles are there. Here's....

Check Referrer Using Php To Prevent People Linking To Your Downloads From Other Sites Ever
find that found some people are listing items, images and tuts and linking directly to the download
url (those that are like my photoshop tutorial.php?id=0), which is a .php to count the number of
downloads. To prevent this, you can add a piece of code to the download pages that checks which page
referred them to the download page: if it's my domain, it downloads the file normally, if
it's not, it will redirect to my home page instead. Important : Not all browser....

I'm learning php in class right now, but I'm still not that good at it, what I'm
wondering is when I write the php so that it can connect with a database, can I at the same time
have it that it is able to display back images that I choose. Like, I want a search feature, where
you can search for a keyword, and it will bring back a list of all the possible entries with that
keyword, but each of these entries will have a photo associated with it. Now, do I put these image
files directly into the database, or do I write the code to link them from my files to th....
Since Trap17's CP provide the individual site's owner with goodies like MySql and
PhpMyAdmin, chances are some will want to make use of them. Well, it's fine enough to get that
on one's host (Gee! Thanks a lot, Trap17...) Knowing how the usual geek react, it might be
expected that most people considering to make use of a database on their site will want to do most
of the tedious job of developing and testing on their own local system before sending the wrapped-up
result on their domain/subdomain. This involves four basic steps (sorry for the compuwi....

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
