Wow you use fetch_object - i never use classes,methods or objects apart from the built in $db_site object in vbulletin

Hmmmz, getch_object works good very good IMO.
But this tutorials is more for the noobs wich are going to test this outside vB

It would be nice to see a tutorial on how to do SELECTS, INSERTS, UPDATES, and DELETES using the native vbulletin $db_site methods and functions. I'd like to write a custom module for vba CMPS too but I'm not sure where to start or how to go about it.

Thanks,
Jim

Basically just use:

PHP Code:

$db->query_read("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE clause = condition"); 


PHP Code:

$db->query("DELETE FROM table_name WHERE clause = condition"); 


PHP Code:

$db->query("UPDATE table_name SET column = 'value' WHERE clause = condition"); 


PHP Code:

$db->query("INSERT INTO table_name (column, column, column) VALUES (bla, bla, bla)"); 


That's pretty much it. Use query_first to generate arrays.

__________________________________________________

We are still using the same table as in the previous artikel (tabel)
I will give you the code, and then explain it all to you.

PHP Code:

<?php

mysql_connect("host","user","password");
mysql_select_db("databasenaam");

$select = "SELECT * FROM tabel";
$query = mysql_query($select)or die(mysql_error());
?>

In this part we have called ALL (*) information from table tabel, in this script it won't display anything.

The part above, the connection to the database, has been explained in the previous aricle

PHP Code:

$select = "SELECT * FROM tabel";
$query = mysql_query($select)or die(mysql_error()); 


Select all (*) from the database, or give me the mysql error.
Very easy IMO

Now let's go to the next step!! Show the results on a webpage.

PHP Code:

<?php

mysql_connect("host","user","password");
mysql_select_db("databasenaam");

$select = "SELECT * FROM tabel";
$query = mysql_query($select)or die(mysql_error());

while($list = mysql_fetch_object($query)){

echo "$list->naam
";
echo "$list->email
";
echo "$list->titel
";
echo "$list->info";

?>

Ok, now we've displayed all information of table tabel, on a page.
I assume you don't really know what is going on, so i'll explain the part to you

PHP Code:

while($list = mysql_fetch_object($query)){

$list is replace-able with al things you want, actually it says: 
$list = show everything from the table

echo "$list->naam
";
echo "$list->email
";
echo "$list->titel
";
echo "$list->info"; 


The echo code you will know i guess, this is just a simple code to write something on a webpage, everything you want to echo, has to be in the double quote ("). Things here displayed are:
naam, email, titel, info

And like you see, it will display all info, the layout of this is quite simple, but you can edit it all the way you want (per example add it into a table)
When you've openen an echo code, don't use double quote in the double quotes, but use singel quotes instead.



To go one more step deeper into mySQL i want to explain the WHERE function in a mySQL query:

PHP Code:

<?php

mysql_connect("host","user","password");
mysql_select_db("databasenaam");

$select = "SELECT * FROM tabel WHERE naam='flup'";
$query = mysql_query($select)or die(mysql_error());

while($list = mysql_fetch_object($query)){

echo "$list->naam
";
echo "$list->email
";
echo "$list->titel
";
echo "$list->info";

?'>

Like you see i've only edited a little part of the query, and that is:
WHERE naam='flup'

Or: Selected everything in the table 'table' where 'naam' is equal to flup

You also could replace: naam='flup' to email='your@email.com' or titel='administrator'

Good luck!!

Did you really call your table "tabel"?

[rogersnm]

lol,

did you really need to quote everything to say that?

Thanks! I've played around with this a little.. but now I can't seem to display the results. I'm trying to use some custom templates. Are there examples on how to do this? It would be nice if there was a way to debug variables or to see what variables were currently loaded by the system too. I've tried to study code from other mods and they use system arrays and variables that I don't have a clue what they are for or if I should be using them in my code.

Any and all help on this will be deeply appreciated, :banana:
Thanks again!

just been messing around to...

where is the forum info stored in the db and what external code would i have to use to get them?
ie.
$forum['threadcount']
$forum['replycount']
$vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']

Regards,
Nick.
