    Uploading files

    Hi, I'm trying to upload files from a web site using PHP. I've tried copying code from several sources, but none of it seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. Thanks!

    table formatting

    The div tag worked out pretty well but to keep the rest of the information from running over it I had to use this: <table> <tr> <td> rest of site here </td> <td width=&quot;175&quot;></td> </tr> </table> Just thought you would be interested in knowing what worked.

    table formatting

    Using a table is the best way I know to do this but I think that there might be a better way. I want to create a coloum 175 pix wide that runs down the right hand side of the page. Leaving the rest of the page to what ever width the users browser allows for. I think using div tags might be a...

    Links within one pic

    I have one large image that I want to set up so that clicking on different parts of the image will lead you to the different pages of my website. I have seen it done on other websites but when I viewed the html code it was hard to follow to figure out how it worked. Does anyone have any idea of...

    Is C++ is good for game developing?

    Some schools also package C++ with the text books that they use to teach it. Check College book stores. I got Visual C++ and a text book for less than $100 Canadian.

    php not connecting to mysql

    Make sure that you told PHP that you are running MYSQL. Or is that the other way around? I'm sorry I'm not a server person but I do know that has to be done for it to work.

    PHP without a database

    Problem with autoincrement

    I think to reset the auto_increment values you have to either drop the coloumn off the table, or maybe drop the table itself altogether. I'm not sure how the table will react to you adding a primary key like that, since a primary key can't have a null value. Why do you need to reset the vaules...

    Archiving information

    The seperate table for the archived information is a very good idea,thanks. I was actually thinking about having the database only archive information once a year, this way there would be at all times in the system: up to this point of the present year, and all of the previous two year. I am...

    Archiving information

    I have a problem where my table will eventually become to large to run efficently. I have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to archive all records over two years old. I need to know how to set up the archive and how to let someone access it if they need to look back further...

    search engines

    I'm not really sure where to start on this one, but I need to create several search engines, one for each of 2 databases. The problem is that within each database I need to let them search by one of several different fields. For example one database maintains a small library, so they need to...

    mysql UPDATE syntax...

    I'm not sure my solution is the best. It was just the best suggestion I could give based on what you asked. I'm afraid that I'm not an expert either, but you know you might get better help if you put this question in the php fourm, cause i think your problem is with the php code not with your...

    mysql UPDATE syntax...

    with in your loop that does your multiplying you are going to have to update the record right away before it goes on to the next record. That should work.
