After a few months working on another website, I am back finishing a list of coding
tasks on my TAXA Wood Knowledge Base. One of the most important pages in the site is the one that lists (so far) over 15,000 different botanical names of woods.

Each single name listing is also linked to the corresponding data page for that wood where details are given on each wood. On such data pages are photo scans of as many woods as I can supply (So far about 2,100 out of the 15,000 listed). Rather than cluttering each page with more information than many readers may want, I have three pop-up pages to show more colour photos,UV fluorescence photos and photomicro photos under the microscope.

With only that, readers looking at the large list of species would find all these scans and photos by coming to them randomly with many species having none. To make this far easier to actually pick which woods have scans, uv photos and so on I am adding "look ahead" icons. If a listed wood has any of these categories have any of these scans on their data pages or on the pop-up pages, there is or will be an icon beside the botanical name to make it easy to realize there is and then visit those.

If any of this seems too complex to understand right away, the site is at
www.woodsoftheworld.org under the menu item Woody Species. To drop right out of the frames environment directly, the page is directly at www.woodsoftheworld.org/alphaspecies.php.

The color photos are showing fine for a few months already as are the camera icons
beside the species names for some months now. I have about 100 UV fluorescence photos that are also showing off ok but I am now working on placing a small circle with a "UV" in it for all UV photos on woods that do shine under UV. That is where I have come up with more difficulties than I ever expected.

Now at least I hope this is enough to illustrate what I am trying to do. One reason it was easy to get the camera icon working well is because the field where addresses to pick up the camera icon as needed is in the same 'species' file as is needed to store all basic information on each species. After that file grew to at least 18 fields, I thought that maybe I should finally pay some attention to some normalization and store the UV photo addresses in its own table of 'uvphotos'. It has only 4 fields (uvID, speciesID, species_name and uv_filename.

The 15,000 names are extracted from the species table and displayed with a while loop. Each time through that loop it posts the next species name, so I found it necessary to run a SELECT query within that loop to find if there is any UV photo address per listed species and to echo out the UV icon if there is. Because these photo addresses are stored in a separate table, I had to use a JOIN in the SELECT STATEMENT. To test for the right statement since you cannot use $variables in MySQL like you can in PHP, I chose a species name that I knew did have a uv photo.
I found that the query that would find the one unique address to use is:

$uvquery = 'SELECT u.uv_filename 
		FROM `uvphotos` u 
		JOIN `species` s ON u.species_name=s.species_name 
		WHERE u.species_name="$species_name"';

First, then, this ran without any error reported and listed all the species that
do have uv photos for which the uv icon should show. By substituting the $species_name with one that really does have a uv photo such as Acacia aneura,the query does properly bring forth the address where the photo is stored.

In the page (alphaspecies.php), the $uvquery runs fine without errors reporting and so does $uvresult = mysql_query($uvquery). Running .....
$uvrow=mysql_fetch_array($uvresult, MYSQL_ASSOC); should work ok, too but
when I try to use extract($uvrow) it constantly complains that it cannot find a valid array to expand. Doing a row count shows that there are no rows in the query results even though they list beautifully running the query in phpmyadmin.

The code I have now that I will paste below runs ok without reported errors but a debug statement reports "No uv photo" both for the ones that do not have one AND for those that do! <argh!>. I cannot find why it does not pick up the existence of a uv photo where they do exist. It should be posting a uv icon beside each species that does have one.

Any code that is related on the issue starts at about line 180 or so. Here, then is the code for the whole page. You will find quite a few commented out lines that were used just to understand and try to debug what was going on.

================================================================================

running the query:

SELECT u.uv_filename
FROM uvphotos u
JOIN species s ON u.species_name = s.species_name
WHERE u.species_name = "Acacia aneura"

produces the proper answer only the uv_filename field of
uva/acacia_aneura-mulgaUV02.jpg

At this point, I am stumped to understand why the code I have written does not successfully bring forth all the photo addresses where they do exist amidst the
15,000 species reported. You can view this right at the output page.

Once this is fixed, it will be much easier to complete the look aheads for the remaining photomicro and more photos areas --- and a lot closer to finally finishing all the coding for what I planned to be version 1 of the website.
As always, I am indebted and thankful for your help.

Mh! What is exactly your question?

He has several questions. They are in the beginning bit, before the long stretch of code.

Member Avatar for diafol

THat's one of the biggest thread starters I've ever seen. :(

I thought it was a tutorial.

I while ago I rethought the architecture on this site, dropping the idea of using
pop-up windows. That simplified coding a lot! I now have successfully working 3
look ahead functions :-). Job done!

Could someone please remind me of how I can close this thread. I don't remember how.

After a few months working on another website, I am back finishing a list of coding

================================================================================

running the query:

SELECT u.uv_filename
FROM uvphotos u
JOIN species s ON u.species_name = s.species_name
WHERE u.species_name = "Acacia aneura"

produces the proper answer only the uv_filename field of
uva/acacia_aneura-mulgaUV02.jpg

At this point, I am stumped to understand why the code I have written does not successfully bring forth all the photo addresses where they do exist amidst the
15,000 species reported. You can view this right at the output page.

Once this is fixed, it will be much easier to complete the look aheads for the remaining photomicro and more photos areas --- and a lot closer to finally finishing all the coding for what I planned to be version 1 of the website.
As always, I am indebted and thankful for your help.
