    Build a table copied from different database in PHP

    Hello
    I am wanting to copy all data from one table to another.

    I am using PHP and MySQL

    I have done this with tables that in the the same database,
    but is it possible to do this with tables that are run by different
    virtual servers ?

    So I want to quickly build a new table on QR-KUPONS from MOBI6

    This is my "usual" backup script.


    Code:
    $sql

      OK -

      Well, I'm gonna sit down and write out what each
      of these lines of code means long hand,
      then ...

      I'll figure out a way to make it go through the array sequentially instead of randomly.

      Can't be that hard ... can it ?


      I was hoping that someone with a faster brain than mine, or more experience/expertise could quickly see how this could be done.

        Hmm - read some of them but found them
        a bit over theoretical. - But thanks anyway.

        I was hoping for something a bit more down-to-earth,
        something I can write into my code, similar to the above.

          Thanks Dormilich,

          However, as my code is written in procedural code,
          I was hoping to just change a few lines in my above code to
          do what I need :)

          Is it not so easy then ? ...

            How to Calculate Article Uniqueness ?

            When publishing a new article to our website we want to ensure it is unique.
            - unique to our own website at least.

            Of course there always similar articles around so there are softwares that calculate the uniqueness of your article.

            But how do they usually calculate it - and in particular, how does Google calculate it ?

            Here is one approach that I came up with based on what I have read.

              How do I change this function from Random to Sequential

              Hi,

              I am using this function which is
              used to spin text.

              Currently it looks to me like it is selected an
              element from the $tStringToken array at random.

              These two lines seem to be doing that:
              Code:
              $i = rand(0,$tStringCount); 
$replace = $tStringToken[$i];
              I would like to change this so that it goes sequentially through
              all of the available elements in the...

                How can I adjust my php emailer script ?

                Hi,

                I have built and implemented a simple emailer script to send out emails
                using fgets fput etc.

                First I have a cron job build an email queue table
                then a different cron job to check the queue and send out emails.

                If the emails fail then they stay on the queue for 6 attempts.

                At present it opens a new socket each time it sends an email
                which must be slowing it down....

                  Hi ,

                  My simple redirect is working EXCEPT if there is a period in the string.

                  This is what I have:


                  Code:
                  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).example.net [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.net [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ http://example.net/disp_page.php?a=%1 [NC,QSA,L]

                    Allowing underscore in preg_replace

                    Hello,

                    I am using this:
                    Code:
                    preg_replace( somestuff  (.+?)  somestuff  );
                    Does that (.+?) allow the underscore ?
                    From my results, I suspect it doesn't

                    To include the underscore, do I just add it like: (._+?) ?

                    Don't know why but I think this might be wrong.

                      Why is my search box image not displaying ?

                      Hi,

                      In my html I have a menu and a search box which should display a search image.

                      When I look in the source code - the image is there and if I browse to the image url - it displays, BUT it does not display on my page !!!

                      This is the page url:

                        in PHP
                        Thanks for your reply.

                        I appreciate your opinion.

                        If I hash the passwords though, I guess that it means I can not send the account owner their password in an email ... or can I ?

                        When my script sends the hashed password out to the owner, can the user see it in their browser as the password they need to enter ?

                        Thanks for any clarifications.

                          How important is using password() encryption function ?

                          Hi,

                          I have noticed that some website do not use encryptiom for passwords as they are able to send you the existing password.

                          Others can only give you a new password, so I guess they are using encryption ( ? ).

                          Does it really matter ?

                          Can anybody look at my MySQL database and see the password if it is not encrypted ? Or is it only in transmission that it could be spied on ?

                          ...

                            Hi,

                            I am trying to change dashes to underscores in text file.

                            The reason is that I am having problems processing some xml tags
                            so I want to change this <merchant-name> to <merchant_nam e>

                            To do this I used this regex:

                            Code:
                            $pattern = '#<(\w+)-(\w+)>#';
$replacement = '<$1_$2>';
$source = preg_replace( $pattern, $replacement, $source, -1 , $count);

                              It was a got try - but as I suspected, the image returned image shows up as a successful response even though it is not the requested image.

                              When the image you want is not available it
                              sends this standard image:




                              And as it is not an error page, my script has now stored
                              it as the correct image to be served.

                              So in order to cache correct images I wanted...

                                  I am using an image serving service, and if it can not create the image
                                  then it serves a "standard" "Can't Create Image" image and returns that.

                                  It then queues the image for later recovery. So I was not meaning the 404 page

                                    I want to check the size of an image file before I write it.

                                    If it is a certain size, then I won't write it.

                                          Hi,

                                          I have been busy making my page look good in Mox FF,
                                          Opera and IE according to my 17" (the diagonal) LCD screen
                                          and of course made sure that it validated.

                                          Then today I saw it on a friends monitor which is about
                                          50 cm (20 inches) wide and my tables with their
                                          headings are getting messed up.

                                          Problem is I didn't have access to my ftp details at the time
                                          and now...
