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 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....

In my MySQL table I would like to use one text field which can contain lots of text. What I want to
use it for is for student records, and I want to be able to add to it without destroying what is
already there. I want the field to contain something like: ****03/11/2007**** Chopin prelude No 9:
small problem bars 12-15. Advice given on how to practice. ****10/11/2007**** Problem in Prelude
overcome, piece successfully completed. New piece set: Beethoven Sonata No 1, movement 1. etc. This
is of course just an example, but that is how I want to set up my student records...

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 &...

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...

QUOTE Introduction So, you've spent the best part of a year creating your PHP/MySQL driven
web site. You've got a fair amount of decent, flexible content, and you're buddies with a
couple of other webmasters, so they've given you a free banner ad on their site in exchange for
one on yours. Promoting your site can be even harder than developing it. I've foun...

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...

hello... what are the infos for the mysql databases ? Like the host, is it localhost ? and the
username ? And what does setting up users for the databases in cpanel does ? thanks in advance...

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...
