 | Re: Where is C#? > While I can't fathom why "thermalprint" is in the forum menus or why C# is now missing, the upcoming changes appear to again move further away from the usual programming forums.

| | Sorry for the downtime earlier today ... I'm working behind the scenes on merging all of Dazah functionality *into* DaniWeb.

 | Hi there and welcome to DaniWeb! A moderator removed the link from your post because it came off pretty spammy. You were sneaky about it and hid the link in anchor text in your post, which makes it seem like the only reason you posted was for the backlink. Lucky …  |
| | I recently had to mass insert a really large text file of strings into MySQL. Here's how I did it.  |
| | This code connects to a database. Do you mean just replacing the table with a dropdown? echo '<html><body><select>'; while ($i < mysqli_field_count($link)) { $meta = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($result, $i); echo '<option>' . $meta->name . '</option>'; $i = $i + 1; } echo '</select></html>'; |
