I am trying to group all the entries for one username to retrieve all of the columns in that same group. Example a user name will be entered along several other parts of data like name phone number email, things like that. But it puts all the data into the data base like a stair step leading down and increments every following column to the next row, since they are not all grouped on the same row I can’t get but the first entry, the user name which is what I already know… How in the world is this done right, I can’t figure this out!
Here is what I tried and it does just what I just described, looking at the data in phpmysql it looks like this:
column 1____column 2_____column 3______column 4_…>
something-user
_____________guys-name
_________________________555-555-5555
______________________________________email@email.com
So it does not work right, here is the php script I tried that did this type of result:
include_once ‘…/common/config.php’; //$tokenkey arrary and other strings for user, password, database for mysql conect
$token_check=NULL;
$token=NULL;
for ( $count = 0; $count <= 19; $count ++) {
for ( $counter = 0; $counter < 20; $counter ++) {
$rand = rand ( 1, 62);
$token[$count]=$token[$count].$tokenkey[$rand];
}
}
//$token array has 19 strings in it
$array=array(username,password,firstname,lastname,address,city,state,country,zipcode,sitename,options,verified,approved,geosignup,geologon,optionsnew,geooptionsnew,summaryledger,couponcode,websitehtml);
$con=mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database, $con) or die( “Unable to select database”);
@mysql_query(“CREATE TABLE users (id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,UNIQUE KEY(id),
username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,

) ENGINE=MyISAM”);
//makes all the columns nicely…
//entering all the 19 strings into the data base “users”…
$cnt=0;
foreach ($array as &$var) {
if($cnt == 0 || $cnt == 1 || $cnt == 2 || $cnt == 3 || $cnt == 9 ||$cnt == 11 || $cnt == 12 || $cnt == 15 || $cnt == 18) {
@mysql_query(“INSERT INTO users (”.$var.“) VALUES (‘$token[$cnt]’)”);
}
if($cnt >= 4 && $cnt <= 8) {
@mysql_query(“INSERT INTO users (”.$var.“) VALUES (‘$token[$cnt]’)”);
}
if($cnt == 10 || $cnt == 16 || $cnt == 17) {
@mysql_query(“INSERT INTO users (”.$var.“) VALUES (‘$token[$cnt]’)”);
}
If($cnt == 13 || $cnt == 14) {
@mysql_query(“INSERT INTO users (”.$var.“) VALUES (‘$token[$cnt]’)”);
}
if($cnt == 19) {
@mysql_query(“INSERT INTO users (”.$var.“) VALUES (‘$token[$cnt]’)”);
}
$cnt++;
}
unset($var);
//now it is that big mess I talked about!!
Something I am doing is very wrong, please tell me how this should be done. Tring to figure it out from the manual is getting me no place but more confussed…
Thanks
