The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

MySQL Connection and Data retrieval by PHP, how to write the script?

Asked by mkido in PHP and Databases

Tags: my_connect

Hello!   Everyone,

Execuse me, I am a brand newbie on PHP-MySQL Database script writing.   So, I need a basic introduction to get started.   Here I wrote MySQL Database connection and retrieval script (at bottom) to Web interface.   There is a bug, and I couldn't print out from the Database.   Here are basic information,

   My username =  mkido;
   My password = kido7844;
   Database I want to use = contributors;
    In the contributor Database, there is only one table created = editors;
    Table "editors" has three fields = id, language, name;
   MySQL version is = 3.23.58


Here I tried to display "name" from MySQL Databse, and I had an error of MySQL Server connection.   Barebone MySQL Server by command line access is working on Terminal screen.   Now I want to integrate it into Web interface by using PHP.  

A minor thing I noticed below is that I didn't say "use contributors"  in PHP, because I don't know how to say it in PHP.    Please give me an introductory help!    Thanks.
 

========================
<html>
<body>
<?php

require 'DB.php';

$dsn = 'mysql://mkido:kido7844@localhost';


$sth = $dbh->query("SELECT name FROM editors");
if (DB::isError($sth)){die($sth->getMessage());}

while($row = $sth->fetchRow()){
     print $row[0]."\n";
}

?>

</body>
</html>
