I'm finding out fast that much of my MS SQL server training does NOT apply to mySQL. Queries that should work, and do work elsewhere do NOT work in mySQL.I'm running a new guild website for Anarachy-Online at < http://www.omni-elite.com/ >
It's a heavily modified version of PHP Nuke. Integrating some of my options thus far have NOT been easy.
But as a final step of automation, I'm trying to add a semi admin module that will allow of High Ranked Guild members to edit data in a table NOT part of PHP Nuke.
So first I'm having problems with authentication.
Next writing PHP code is not my strong point, and I'm having trouble finding ready made code that I can bastardize enough to update, insert, delete, etc... the table I'm trying to touch.
If you think you can help and are willing too, I'd appreciate it.

ummm... no offense or anything but that's pretty stupid. MySQL and MS SQL are completely different. their data storage is different. The way they execute from the data is a lot different too. Think of it like CGI and HTML. Will HTML run CGI programs? No. They're both used for websites though.It's like C++ and VC++ they do the same thing, you would think they are, but m$ has corrupted C++ in this one...

Dude, give me a break. They are not that different.Select * from Table
will execute exactly the same on both boxes... It's all basic Select, Insert, Update, and Delete...
Just slightly different syntax.
The biggest difference is that MS SQL uses extensions of the SQL language that mySQL doesn't.
And the fact that MSSQL is 200 times better and more efficient.

even if they were similar you should always expect syntax to be different. that's why not everyone can run C++ or C or Assembly...the syntax is just too different to learn lots of languages.

bullshit. I got so many friend that code in Perl, C, C++, 3-8 different asm languages, Pascal, atleast 4 different forms of BASIC, and so many languages I can't even name. Syntax isn't a problem.And mysql is the shit. if you can get it working
