I am trying to insert 2 scores into Mysql for two photos for a particular user that already exists in the database. The scores and the photos are both POST variables from a form. I am having great difficulty with the syntax - I am fairly certain the error is related to the position of quotes but despite searching here and finding similar questions I can't seem to get it working. Loathed to bother people with this but need some executive assistance.
$imageT=$_POST[randomimage]."T" ;
$imageH=$_POST[randomimage]."H" ;
$observerid=$_POST[scoreid];
$traction=$_POST[gradeT];
$honeycomb=$_POST[gradeH];
$sql="INSERT INTO scorers ('$imageT', '$imageH')
VALUES ('$imageT', '$imageH') WHERE id=$observerid ";
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
} else {
header("Location: testform.php");
} '
$imageT and $imageH are both integers with either T or H appended to them, for example 12T or 14H therefore I assumed they would be treated as strings and I put quotes around them. $traction, $honeycomb and $observerid are all integers. When I echo $imageT, $imageH, $traction, $honeycomb and $observerid the correct values are shown so I am assuming that there is no error in the these, just they way I am placing them within SQL code.
Very much appreciate any help (been learning PHP and My SQL for only 4 weeks so apologies).
At least three main problems at glance
You aren't using prepared statements
You are using WHERE clause in INSERT statement which is useless and erroneous. Either remove WHERE part or change your query to UPDATE.
You didn't post the error with your question. Which you always have to. Error messages is a cornerstone of troubleshooting.

I have a few large fixed with text files that have multiple specification formats in them. I need to parse out the txt files based on a character with a set location in the file. That character can have a different position in the file.
I have written queries for each of the different specifications (95 of them) with the start position and length hard coded into the query using the mid() function with a WHERE() function to filter the [Record Identifier] from the specification. As you can see below the 2 specifications in the WHERE() function have different placements in the txt file.
\\\
SELECT Mid([AllData],1,5) AS PlanNumber, Mid([AllData],6,4) AS Spaces1, Mid([AllData],10,3) AS Filler1, Mid([AllData],13,11) AS SSN, Mid([AllData],24,1) AS AccountIdentifier, Mid([AllData],25,5) AS Filler2, Mid([AllData],30,2) AS RecordIdentifier, Mid([AllData],32,1) AS FieldType, Mid([AllData],33,4) AS Filler3, Mid([AllData],37,8) AS HireDate, Mid([AllData],45,8) AS ParticipationDate, Mid([AllData],53,8) AS VestinDate, Mid([AllData],61,8) AS DateOfBirth, Mid([AllData],77,1) AS Spaces2, Mid([AllData],78,1) AS Reserved1, Mid([AllData],79,1) AS Reserved2, Mid([AllData],80,1) AS Spaces3
FROM TBL_Company1
WHERE (((Mid([AllData],30,2))="02") AND ((Mid([AllData],32,1))="D"));
\\\
Or
\\\
SELECT Mid([AllData],1,5) AS PlanNumber, Mid([AllData],6,4) AS Spaces1, Mid([AllData],10,3) AS Filler1, Mid([AllData],13,11) AS SSN, Mid([AllData],24,1) AS AccountIdentifier, Mid([AllData],25,7) AS RecordIdentifier, Mid([AllData],32,22) AS StreetAddressForBank, Mid([AllData],54,20) AS CityForBank, Mid([AllData],74,2) AS StateForBank, Mid([AllData],76,5) AS ZipCodeForBank
FROM TBL_Company1
WHERE (((Mid([AllData],25,7))="49EFTAD"));

Is there a way to Parse out this without having to hard code every position and length into the code?
I was thinking of having a table with all of the specifications in it and have an import function look to the specification table and parse out the data accordingly to a new table or maybe something else.
What I have done is not very scalable and if the format changes a little I would have to go back to each query to change it.
Any Help is greatly appreciated
I think in your situation, I'd want to be able to generate the SQL statement dynamically, as you suggest.
I'd have a table something like:
Format#,Position,OutColName,FromPos,Length,WhereValue
1,1,"PlanNumber",1,5,
1,2,"Spaces1",6,4,
...
1,n,,30,2,"02"
1,n+1,,32,1"D"
and then some VBA to process it and build and execute the SQL string(s). The SELECT clause entries would be recognized by having a value in the OutColName field and WHERE clause entries by values in the the WhereValue column.
Of course this is only more "efficient" in the sense that it's a bit easier to code up new formats or fix/modify existing ones.
Ive come across a very unusual problem (for me at least) and I have no idea how to solve it.
Essentially I made a really simple selection query to search our clients in a table (dbo_t_Person) and return their records. I needed them to be searchable even if we only have an email address, or phone number for some clients on hand. Therefore I wrote the criteria to either ignore a field if no data was entered, or to search similar (via 'Like') if only partial details were entered into any given field. See the SQL below, apologies for how repetitive it is.
This is all well and good, it works perfectly and is fast enough for our uses.
However.
I can run the query as many times as I wish with new data entered and it works fine, but if I close the query and reopen it, the SQL goes haywire and it runs out of memory and crashes access, this is crashing just opening the SQL as well as running it. By haywire I mean that if i manage to luck out and reopen the SQL, lines of SQL are suddenly copied endlessly on the page.
This happens every time I rewrite the SQL from scratch, how the hell do I stop this happening?
Here is the working clean code:
SELECT dbo_t_Person.PersonID
,dbo_t_Person.FullName
,dbo_t_Person.Address1
,dbo_t_Person.Address2
,dbo_t_Person.City
,dbo_t_Person.Zip
,dbo_t_Person.STATE
,dbo_t_Person.Country
,dbo_t_Person.Mobile
,dbo_t_Person.Phone
,dbo_t_Person.Email
FROM dbo_t_Person
WHERE (
(
(dbo_t_Person.PersonID) = [Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![OwnerIDEntry]
OR [Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![OwnerIDEntry] IS NULL
)
AND (
(dbo_t_Person.FullName) LIKE "*" & [Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![NameEntry] & "*"
OR [Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![NameEntry] IS NULL
)
)
And so on for the remaining entry fields
However if I can get the SQL back open again it it appears thousands of lines of
Or [Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![NameEntry] Is Null
for all entry fields is endlessly repeated.
Something is making the code copy end on end, how do I stop it?
Consider an adjusted WHERE clause with NZ() to handle if controls are empty or not.
WHERE dbo_t_Person.PersonID = NZ([Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![OwnerIDEntry],
dbo_t_Person.PersonID)
AND dbo_t_Person.FullName = LIKE "*" & NZ([Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![NameEntry],
dbo_t_Person.FullName) & "*"
Try changing your criteria to be more efficient and clean, like this:
IIF(ISNULL([Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![OwnerIDEntry]),TRUE,PersonID=[Forms]![from MICHAEL TEST WORKING]![OwnerIDEntry])
Since you are only dealing with a single table you can also do away with dbo_t_Person. from everywhere, like this:
SELECT PersonID,FullName,Address1,Address2,City,Zip,STATE,Country,Mobile,Phone,Email
FROM dbo_t_Person
Maybe the simplified version of the SQL will stop Access from corrupting it.
I have been messing around with orientdb sql, and I was wondering if there is a way to update an edge of a vertex, together with some data on it.
assuming I have the following data:
Vertex: Person, Room
Edge: Inside (from Person to Room)
something like:
UPDATE Persons SET phone=000000, out_Inside=(
select #rid from Rooms where room_id=5) where person_id=8
obviously, the above does not work. It throws exception:
Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.orientechnologies.orient.core.id.ORecordId cannot be cast to com.orientechnologies.orient.core.db.record.ridbag.ORidBag
I tried to look at the sources at github searching for a syntax for bag with 1 item,
but couldn't find any (found %, but that seems to be for serialization no for SQL).
(1) Is there any way to do that then? how do I update a connection? Is there even a way, or am I forced to create a new edge, and delete the old one?
(2) When writing this, it came to my mind that perhaps edges are not the way to go in this case. Perhaps I should use a LINK instead. I have to say i'm not sure when to use which, or what are the implications involved in using any of them. I did found this though:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/orient-database/xXlNNXHI1UE
comment 3 from the top, of Lvc#, where he says:
"The suggested way is to always create an edge for relationships"
Also, even if I should use a link, please respond to (1). I would be happy to know the answer anyway.
p.s.
In my scenario, a person can only be at one room. This will most likely not change in the future. Obviously, the edge has the advantage that in case I might want to change it (however improbable that may be), it will be very easy.
Solution (partial)
(1) The solution was simply to remove the field selection. Thanks for Lvca for pointing it out!
(2) --Still not sure--
CREATE EDGE and DELETE EDGE commands have this goal: avoid the user to fight with underlying structure.
However if you want to do it (a little "dirty"), try this one:
UPDATE Persons SET phone=000000, out_Inside=(
select from Rooms where room_id=5) where person_id=8
update EDGE Custom_Family_Of_Custom
set survey_status = '%s',
apply_source = '%s'
where #rid in (
select level1_e.#rid from (
MATCH {class: Custom, as: custom, where: (custom_uuid = '%s')}.bothE('Custom_Family_Of_Custom') {as: level1_e} .bothV('Custom') {as: level1_v, where: (custom_uuid = '%s')} return level1_e
)
)
it works well
I have a Body column that is full text indexed and is nvarchar(max)
One row has this in the Body column
You want slighty mad this sat the 60th runing of the 3peaks race! Peny-ghent whernside and inglbauher! Only in yorkshire!
If I run: select body from messages where CONTAINS(Body,'you') it doesn't return any data.
If I run the below adding wildcards select messageid,body from messages where CONTAINS(body,'"*you*"') it still doesnt return the data.
Can you help me understand what's going on please?
Thanks
UPDATE : It makes no difference if its you or You, either way no results
It can be case sensitivity issue. Try with select messageid,body from messages where CONTAINS(body,'"*You*"') and see if you are getting the result or not
A full text catalog has a set of words in a “stoplist” that it won’t search on as SQL Server considers them “unimportant for search purposes”
To get this you can run
select ssw.*
from sys.fulltext_system_stopwords ssw
where ssw.language_id = 1033;
Below are the words it won’t search on and you’ll see it contains “you” hence why it didn’t find my data.
I'm trying to generate a new SharePoint list item directly using SQL server. What's stopping me is damn tp_DirName column. I have no ideas how to create this value.
Just for instance, I have selected all tasks from AllUserData, and there are possible values for the column: 'MySite/Lists/Task', 'Lists/Task' and even 'MySite/Lists/List2'.
MySite is the FullUrl value from Webs table. I can obtain it. But what about 'Lists/Task' and '/Lists/List2'? Where they are stored?
If try to avoid SQL context, I can formulate it the following way: what is the object, that has such attribute as '/Lists/List2'? Where can I set it up in GUI?
Just a FYI. It is VERY not supported to try and write directly to SharePoint's SQL Tables. You should really try and write something that utilizes the SharePoint Object Model. Writing to the SharePoint database directly mean Microsoft will not support the environment.
I've discovered, that [AllDocs] table, in contrast to its title, contains information about "directories", that can be used to generate tp_DirName. At least, I've found "List2" and "Task" entries in [AllDocs].[tp_Leaf] column.
So the solution looks like this -- concatenate the following 2 components to get tp_DirName:
[Webs].[FullUrl] for the web, containing list, containing item.
[AllDocs].[tp_Leaf] for the list, containing item.
Concatenate the following 2 components to get tp_Leaf for an item:
(Item count in the list) + 1
'_.000'

Well, my previous answer was not very useful, though it had a key to the magic. Now I have a really useful one.
Whatever they said, M$ is very liberal to the MOSS DB hackers. At least they provide the following documents:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd304112(PROT.13).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd358577(v=PROT.13).aspx
Read? Then, you know that all folders are listed in the [AllDocs] table with '1' in the 'Type' column.
Now, let's look at 'tp_RootFolder' column in AllLists. It looks like a folder id, doesn't it? So, just SELECT the single row from the [AllDocs], where Id = tp_RootFolder and Type = 1. Then, concatenate DirName + LeafName, and you will know, what the 'tp_DirName' value for a newly generated item in the list should be. That looks like a solid rock solution.
Now about tp_LeafName for the new items. Before, I wrote that the answer is (Item count in the list) + 1 + '_.000', that corresponds to the following query:
DECLARE #itemscount int;
SELECT #itemscount = COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[AllUserData] WHERE [tp_ListId] = '...my list id...';
INSERT INTO [AllUserData] (tp_LeafName, ...) VALUES(CAST(#itemscount + 1 AS NVARCHAR(255)) + '_.000', ...)
Thus, I have to say I'm not sure that it works always. For items - yes, but for docs... I'll inquire into the question. Leave a comment if you want to read a report.
Hehe, there is a stored procedure named proc_AddListItem. I was almost right. MS people do the same, but instead of (count + 1) they use just... tp_ID :)
Anyway, now I know THE SINGLE RIGHT answer: I have to call proc_AddListItem.
UPDATE: Don't forget to present the data from the [AllUserData] table as a new item in [AllDocs] (just insert id and leafname, see how SP does it itself).
