Re: file upload wont work!

What error do you get ?
And what do you have this for ?

if($ufile !=none)
{
......
}

This works for me :)

<?php
//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload 
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path= "./images/".$_FILES['ufile']['name'];
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
if(copy($_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'], $path)) 
{
echo "Successful<BR/>"; 

//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$_FILES['ufile']['name']."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Size :".$_FILES['ufile']['size']."<BR/>"; 
echo "File Type :".$_FILES['ufile']['type']."<BR/>"; 
echo "<img src=\"$path\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
}
else
{
echo "Error";
}
}
?>

Re: Undefined Offset

First of all, those are notices and not errors. Notices are those which you can totally ignore. If you don't initialize the variables and use it, you will get a 'notice'. If you want to be a good programmer, initialize every variable you use to its respective default value.
"" for a string variable, 0 for an integer variable and so on.
If you are on a local system and have access to php.ini, you can avoid notices by changing error_reporting value.
Set it to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE to get all errors except notices.

Sanskrit is the root of many languages (including English). The word Mother comes from the sanskrit word "Mathru". There are so many word that I can't recall at the moment. I didn't opt for sanskrit when I was in school, so, I am not that fluent in that language.

Re: limit database updates per hour using timestamps.

And where will you get this list from ? Anyway,

//need to pull time stamp from database.
//if current time is greater than 1 hour of timestamp.
//then move $textbox_value to top of the list.
//if Not then display how much time is left before hour is up.

I hope you know how to pull the timestamp from the table.
Lets say, its $time1.

$time1 = //value from the table
$time2 = time();
$diff = ($time2 - $time1)/(60*60);
//60*60 is to convert it to hrs 1 hr = 60 mins; 1 min = 60 secs
if($diff > 1) {
// I don't know how you have that list.. I guess its an array ? Well, display it :-/
} else {
echo $diff; //display the difference

Re: insert into multiple tables based on checkbox

Print out the query, execute it in phpmyadmin, Or, simply add, or die(mysql_error()); ie.,

// sent from form
$textbox_value = ($_POST['code']);
$checkbox = ($_POST['checkbox']);
foreach($checkbox as $tablename) {
$query = "INSERT INTO $tablename (code, time) VALUES ('$textbox_value', NOW())";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if($result) {
     echo("code added to $tablename database <br />");
}
else
     echo "could not add code to $tablename database <br />";

Re: insert into multiple tables based on checkbox

Instead of having different names for your checkboxes, use a checkbox array and on submit, loop through all the selected checkbox and insert a record to the table.
For eg.,

<form name="addcode" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST">
 <br />
 <input name="code" type="text" value="Enter Code">
 <br />
 1:<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="table1">
 2:<input type="checkbox"  name="checkbox" value="table2">
 3:<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="table3">
 4:<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="table4">
 <br />
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Code">
 </form>

Then, On submit,

<?php
require('FC_DB_connection.php');

//check if form has been submited
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
//new code sent from form
$textbox_value = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['code']);
foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $tablename_value) {
$query = "insert into $tablename_value (col1) values ('$textbox_value')";
mysql_query($query);
}
..... etc....

Re: Images and styles are not visible

I need to know the difference and the purpose of using an image tag like this
<img src="/images/new.jpg>" , <img src="images/new.jpg"> and <img src="../images/new.jpg">

Say for example you are in "home" directory. In home directory, there is another directory called "images".
You want to display an image called "new.jpg" which is inside images. So, <img src="/images/new.jpg"> OR <img src="./images/new.jpg"> OR <img src="images/new.jpg"> will go inside images directory and display new.jpg .
Now, consider you are in "home" directory and "images" directory is one level above "home". Then you use .. ie., <img src="../images/new.jpg"> meaning, come out of home directory (ie., go one level up) , go to images directory and display new.jpg . I hope thats clear!

Re: Anyone can help? (Need to finish this asap)

When you click submit, all the form elements (radio, checkbox, select, textbox, etc) inside a form will be submitted to the script mentioned in the action of the form (if no action is specified, it will submit to the same script).

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   print "<pre>";
   print_r($_POST);
   print "</pre>";
}
<html>
<body>
<form method='post'>
<input type='radio' name='person' value='1' /> Person 1 <br />
<input type='radio' name='person' value='2' /> Person 2 <br />
Name: <input type='text' name='name' /> <br />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' />
</form>
</body>
</html>

In the above example, you will see all the posted form elements. Do whatever you want with it! I don't understand what you mean by "find it in the database". If you want to search a table, then use it in the query.

$value = $_POST['textboxname'];
$query = "select * from table where user = '$value'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 ) {
echo "Found!";
} else {
 echo "Not found!";
}

something like that ?

I guess $session->connection doesn't hold any value. But anyway, link resource is an optional parameter. Just check if you have a valid connection.
Try printing value of $q inside the function query(). Check if its ok.. Also, try

mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

ie.,

function query($query){
      $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

And cwarn23 is talking about possible sql injection to your code. A bad user can inject your query with all sorts of unwanted value and take over your database! (drop,truncate, insert, whatever).
Use, mysql_real_escape_string for the user's input to avoid such thing to happen. Also, have a look at cwarn23's code. He has used all kinda prevention techniques to save you from a sql injection! :)

Re: Not able to edit a title...please help!

I checked your script.

<input type="hidden" value="$autoid">

is wrong. If you want to have a hidden element with php variable's value, you should do,

<input type="hidden" name="autoid" value="<?php echo $autoid; ?>">

Secondly, Everytime there is a database operation, you have mysql_connect and mysql_select_db in your script. You can put it on top of your script, or have it in a separate file and include it on top of this script.
And lastly, You are not sanitizing your input. Use mysql_real_escape_string to protect your application from sql injections.

Re: Retrieve data from table

1. I would never use form element's names like, Y M D, ie., with spaces. Try,

<input id="dmy" name="dmy" type="text" />

And in the php script,

$date = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['dmy']);

mysql_real_escape_string escapes all the escape characters and prevent sql injections.
Also, Instead of executing the query directly, you can put it in a variable and then pass it to mysql_query. Its easier to print a variable to know what is the query you are passing to mysql_query. Ie.,

$date = $_POST['dmy'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE startdate='$date'";
echo $query;
$result = mysql_query($query);

Execute the query on backend (phpmyadmin) and see if it return any rows. If it doesn't, then,
1. You either don't have any records for that date (OR)
2. You have a different date format in the table (or while passing it in the query)
