Why Isn't My Data Being Shown? - php

I have the following tables in my database:
Minutes: minute_id, subject, next_subject, approval, meeting_id
Agendas: agenda_id, subject, duration, approval, reason, meeting_id
I am using the following PHP code:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Agendas INNER JOIN Minutes ON Minutes.meeting_id = Agendas.meeting_id WHERE Agendas.Approval = 'disapproved'")
or die(mysql_error()); ;
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo 'You Have No New Messages';
} else {
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Title: '. $info['title']." </td>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Approved?: '. $info['approval']. "</td>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Reason: '. $info['reason']."</td>";
echo "<hr>";
}
}
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>
I am not getting the desired data to be shown as I am only been presented with the message 'You Have No New Messages' when in the agendas table, there is a row which has a field disapproved!
Any ideas?

You are doing an INNER JOIN... make sure there is also an associated row in the minutes table, or else there will be no data to return, even if there is an entry in Agendas.

Using JOIN to display data in a table

Thanks for reading my question
i am trying to make *clients_id* from the table repair_jobs appear as the name from the table contacts
but i am having no luck
i have got 2 sql query's is this wrong?
the 1st
$query = "select * from repair_jobs";
this helps me display the information i need regarding the fields from repair_jobs and works
this is the 2nd
$query = "SELECT repair_jobs.client_id, contacts.name
FROM repair_jobs
INNER JOIN contacts
ON repair_jobs.client_id=contacts.name";
under that i have this to try to display the name of the client
echo "<td>{$client_id}</td>";
but it is only displaying the number and not the data (clients name) that i need
am i missing something?
Additional information
The client_id (repair_jobs) is a number and is the same as id (contacts) but wanting to display the name (contacts)
CLIENTS
Id – name – surname – phone – address
REPAIRS
Id – clients_id (same as id in clients) – unit – date – price
current code
<?php
//include database connection
include 'db_connect.php';
//query all records from the database
$query = "select * from repair_jobs";
//execute the query
$result = $mysqli->query( $query );
//get number of rows returned
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
//this will link us to our add.php to create new record
if( $num_results > 0){ //it means there's already a database record
//start table
//creating our table heading
echo " <table class='table_basic'>";
echo "<thead><tr>";
echo "<th>Job #</th>";
echo "<th>Name Of Unit</th>";
echo "<th>Client</th>";
echo "<th>Estimated Value</th>";
echo "</thead></tr><tbody><tr>";
//loop to show each records
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
//extract row
//this will make $row['firstname'] to
//just $firstname only
extract($row);
//creating new table row per record
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width='40px'><a href='rdetails.php?id={$id}'># {$id}</a></td>";
echo "<td>{$rmake} {$rmodel}</td>";
$query = "SELECT rj.client_id, c.name AS client_name FROM repair_jobs rj INNER JOIN contacts c ON rj.client_id=c.id";
echo "<td>{$client_name}</td>";
echo '<td align="center"><span class="badge badge-success">£';
$lhours = $labour;
$repaircosts = $ourcosts;
$labourpay = $labourcharge;
$sum_total = $repaircosts +($lhours * $labourpay);
print ($sum_total);
echo '</span></td>';
echo "</td>";
echo "";
}
echo "</tr></table>";//end table
}else{
//if database table is empty
echo "No records found.";
}
//disconnect from database
$result->free();
$mysqli->close();
?>
Change your 1st query to you join query, as there is no reason to do a 2nd query in the middle of your code. (also you never executed that query anyway).
//query all records from the database
$query = "SELECT repair_jobs.*, contacts.name as client_name
FROM repair_jobs
INNER JOIN contacts
ON repair_jobs.client_id=contacts.id";
Then in your table keep the $client_name
echo "<td>{$client_name}</td>";
<?php
include 'db_connect.php';
$query = "SELECT rj.Id AS job_number, rj.unit, rj.make, rj.model, c.name AS client_name, rj.price FROM repair_jobs rj INNER JOIN contacts c ON rj.clients_id = c.id ORDER BY c.date";
$result = $mysqli->query( $query );
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
if( $num_results > 0){ //it means there's already a database record
echo " <table class='table_basic'>";
echo "<thead><tr>";
echo "<th>Job #</th>";
echo "<th>Name Of Unit</th>";
echo "<th>Client</th>";
echo "<th>Estimated Value</th>";
echo "</tr></thead><tbody>";
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
extract($row);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width='40px'><a href='rdetails.php?id={$job_number}'>#{$job_number}</a></td>";
echo "<td>{$make} {$model}</td>";
echo "<td>{$client_name}</td>";
echo "<td align='center'><span class='badge badge-success'>£";
$lhours = $labour;
$repaircosts = $ourcosts;
$labourpay = $labourcharge;
$sum_total = $repaircosts +($lhours * $labourpay);
echo $sum_total;
echo '</span></td>';
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</tbody></table>";
} else {
echo "No records found.";
}
$result->free();
$mysqli->close();
?>

how to get the sum of field 'size' from my database and print it in my php page

I have a database with a table named "photos". In that table i have a column "size"(which is the size of the photos i had upload). I want to get the sum of these sizes and print the sum in my php page. Can anyone give me an example code(sql code in php code)..??
i have try this:
$query = "SELECT SUM(ph_size) from photos";
$result= mysql_query($query,$con);
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>SUM(ph_size)</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
//echo $row;
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['SUM(ph_size)'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
but it doesnt work.
You can use the sum function
$result=mysql_query("SELECT SUM(p.size) AS sum_of_photos_sizes FROM `photos` p WHERE 1");
if (mysql_num_rows($result)){
$data=mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo 'Total size of photos: '.$data['sum_of_photos_sizes'];
}

Where Clause Does Not Seem To Be Working

I have a inner join statment which is working 90% as it is displaying what I need it to display but unfortunately it is not displaying to the right user logged in. It is being displayed to whoever logs into my system. Here is the code:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Agendas INNER JOIN Meetings ON Meetings.secretary WHERE Agendas.approval = 'disapproved' AND secretary = '". $_SESSION['username']."'")
or die(mysql_error()); ;
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo 'You Have No New Messages';
} else {
while($info = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Title: '. $info['title']." </td>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Approved: '. $info['approval']. "</td>";
echo "<td><br/>" .'Reason: '. $info['reason']."</td>";
echo "<hr>";
}
}
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>
my database tables look like this:
Meetings: meeting_id, title, chairperson, secretary, tof, occurances, action
Agendas: agenda_id, subject, duration, meeting_id, approval, reason.
thanks soo much for any help :)
i think you're doing something wrong in the join clause. how about this:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Agendas INNER JOIN Meetings ON Agendas.meeting_id = Meetings.meeting_id WHERE Agendas.approval = 'disapproved' AND secretary = '". $_SESSION['username']."'")
or die(mysql_error());

PHP: table structure

I'm developing a website that has some audio courses, each course can have multiple lessons. I want to display each course in its own table with its different lessons.
This is my SQL statement:
Table: courses
id, title
Table: lessons
id, cid (course id), title, date, file
$sql = "SELECT lessons.*, courses.title AS course FROM lessons INNER JOIN courses ON courses.id = lessons.cid GROUP BY lessons.id ORDER BY lessons.id" ;
Can someone help me with the PHP code?
This is the I code I have written:
mysql_select_db($database_config, $config);
mysql_query("set names utf8");
$sql = "SELECT lessons.*, courses.title AS course FROM lessons INNER JOIN courses ON courses.id = lessons.cid GROUP BY lessons.id ORDER BY lessons.id" ;
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "<p><span class='heading1'>" . $row['course'] . "</span> </p> ";
echo "<p class='datum'>Posted onder <a href='*'>*</a>, latest update on " . strftime("%A %d %B %Y %H:%M", strtotime($row['date']));
}
echo "</p>";
echo "<class id='text'>";
echo "<p>...</p>";
echo "<table border: none cellpadding='1' cellspacing='1'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>Nr.</th>";
echo "<th width='450'>Lesso</th>";
echo "<th>Date</th>";
echo "<th>Download</th>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['nr'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['title'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . strftime("%d/%m/%Y", strtotime($row['date'])) . "</td>";
echo "<td><a href='audio/" . rawurlencode($row['file']) . "'>MP3</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "<br>";
}
?>
One thing that comes to mind is you're starting with lessons and pulling the course details over with it. That means you're going to have a new row per lesson with a joined course. You may want to sort by course (so they're grouped) then (in PHP) keep a tally of "current course". When the course changes, switch to new heading paragraph, table, etc.
Pseudo code:
$currentCourse = null; // intitialize the course
$query = your select sorted by course;
while ($row in $query)
{
if ($currentCourse != $row['course'])
{
if (!is_null($currentCourse))
{
// there was a course before it, close the current one
}
// begin setting up heading1, table beginning, etc.
$currentCourse = $row['course']; // set this as the active course
}
// dump the current row as a table entry
}
// close the table (same code as in the second if statement)
You close the while loop on line 8 of your code block. Remove that '}' on line 8.
Also the HTML element doesn't exists!
I think I know what's your problem. You need a while loop that loops al the "courses" and in that loop you execute a second query where you select the lessons where the course_id is equal to the current course id you're looping. A little dummy code for you.
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM courses"))) {
//display the course
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM lessons WHERE course_id=" . $row['id']))) {
//display the lessons of that course
}
}
?>

Not able to delete the database(mySQL) record in PHP, where did i go wrong?

I am trying to delete the records from the users table in mysql,
the code goes like this.
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {
//create query to delete the record
$query = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id =" . int($_GET['id']) or die(mysql_error());
//execute query
if($mysqli->query($query)) {
//print number of affected rows
echo $mysqli->affected_rows. " row(s) affected";
}
else {
//print error message
echo "Error in query : $query " . $mysqli->error;
}
}
else {
echo "Could not Execute the Delete query";
}
at the same time i am iterating the records from the users table in the database and it goes like this.
//query to get records
$query = "SELECT * FROM users";
//execute query
if($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
// see if any rows were returned
if($result->num_rows > 0) {
// if yes then print one after another
echo "<table cellpadding=10 border=1>";
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" .$row[0] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" .$row[1] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" .$row[2] . "</td>";
echo "<td>Delete</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}
$result->close();
}
the problem is, i am able to get the records from the database and display it in the browser but when i try to delete the record the first condition does not pass i.e if(isset($_GET['id'])) instead it goes to else condition and print the message "Could not Execute the Delete query " , i guess it is not able to fetch the $_GET['id'] so only it refuses to enter the if condition,
P.S :i would appreciate if someone explains me in simple words, i am a newbie to programming, thanks..
You are missing an =:
echo "<td>Delete</td>";
HERE -------------------^
"DELETE FROM users WHERE id =" . int($_GET['id']) or die(mysql_error());
Shouldn't it be intval instead? There's no function int in PHP. There's also (less preferably) the cast to int, like this: (int) $_GET['id']).
