'''Problem:'''
=Movies=


Again, I was doing [http://php5.seesaa.net/category/4118446-1.html this tutorial]. I got the update/delete working but not insert. Even when I typed in the values, it returned Missing Values.
I liked these movies:


'''Solution'''
* Trouble the water
 
* Cube
I said name="id" in select3.php in the form part for insert3.php but I said _POST[ID] in insert3.php. I changed it to id and it works fine now.
* MST3K Pumaman
 
* Tokyo!
----
* Annabel Chong
 
* I love me
'''Problem:'''
 
I was doing [http://php5.seesaa.net/category/4118446-1.html this tutorial]. First of all, I didn't quite write down the codes right:
 
* incorrect update/delete versions linked from select.php
* <?= is good <? = is not good
* _GET['X'] is good but _GET["X"] is not good.
* Don't free memory in the php that is required_once
 
After fixing all these, I got:
 
"failed query"
SQL:SELECT Name WHERE ID =
 
'''Solution'''
 
Since I got the same message for both update and delete, I figured that the problem was elsewhere. I looked at select3 and after update3.php? I said id= instead ID= . I capitalized the id for bother update3 and delete3 and it works fine now.

'''Problem:'''
 
I tried to write a php and connect to mysql in it but I got an error:
 
Fatal Error: undefined function mysql_connect()
 
'''Solution:'''
 
[http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/5216.htm This page] suggested that mysql isn't enabled by dafault in php5. I installed php5-mysql and restarted apache2 (don't know if that was necessary) and now it works.

'''Problem:'''
 
I restarted my computer because I couldn't start gimp unless I was root. Clint told me that I should sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart , which basically restarted my whole computer. Since then, I couldn't use mysql because I kept getting this error:
 
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
 
'''Solution:'''
 
I followed [http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,42525,46765#msg-46765 this] and restarted mysql by:
 
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
 
But it fails. It seems like I touched my.cnf and didn't restart mysql, so when my computer restarted, it incorporated the changes I made in my.cnf and mysql stopped working. I reinstalled mysql-server through apt-get, restarted mysql and now it's fine.

3. Log back into mysql as user (now has all privileges) and try creating a new database again.

'''Problem:'''
 
I wanted to create a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_markup wiki table] from CIA's Infant Mortality Rate [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html ranking] data. I didn't want to change to the wiki table format, so I decided to write a python code.
 
'''Solutions:'''
 
I had to read a text file, make a list for each line, take out the words I need, and print in the wiki table format. I did the following first to change tabs to commas but that was probably not necessary:
    sed 's/\\t/,/g' Desktop/rawIMRdata.text > rawIMRdata2.text
 
 
When I forgot /g, it only outputted the last line.
 
Here's the python code:
 
    imr_data = open("rawIMRdata6.text")
    #f = file("imr_data","r")
    print '''{| class="wikitable" border="1" \n|- \n!  Ranking 1 \n!  Country 2 \n!  IMR \n'''
    for line in imr_data.readlines():
        # To make a list for each line from text file:
        a = line.split(',')
        #print a and strip the space after each word
        one = a[0].strip()
        two = a[1].strip()
        three = a[3].strip()
        combined = '|-\n|' + one + '\n|' + two + '\n|' + three 
        print combined
    print r'''|}'''

'''Problem:'''
 
It worked mostly ok but I couldn't go further than the second to the last coding box on page 4. I kept getting long error messages.
 
'''Solution:'''
 
[http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial02/ Django tutorial about django.contrib.admin]
 
1. Check if I typed in the correct codes.
 
2. Check if the output are the same everwhere:
 
Although the codes were correct, they didn't create all the necessary things, so it couldn't find the index.html.
 
* I went to setting.py to specify:
** the absolute path for Template_Dir. Don't forget the , after '/path/' .
** two additional Installed_Apps: myprj_myapp (where I save my project) and django.contrib.admin . Run python manage.py syncdb afterwards.
 
This created myapp_post and django_admin_log in mysql database.
