Comment on Simple Tagging With PHP & MySQL by Greg Bulmash

@Lester,

If you know item ID from the video table and you have a tag, then you need to query the tag table to see if the tag exists. If the tag exists, retrieve the ID, and then you'll have the data to do the insert on the video_tags table. If the tag doesn't exist, insert it, then retrieve the tag's id, and do your insert on video_tags.

I have looked through your tag and i'm able to get the tag work but not with the inserting of ID into the tag table.

My doing a video site which require tagging for each video. i have created 3 tables, one is the video, second is the tag and the third is the video tag table as my table video is many to many to tag table.

The problem is i can't fetch the ID from both the video and tag table into my video_tag table as i have foriegn key to these two tables.

Do you know the mysql insert statement which allows me to add the ID from the video and tag table into the video_tag table itself?

I was scammed out of $2597.00 not to mention overdraft fees and beyond by this company. My bank released the funds and I wired them and a week and a half later they put a negative hold on my bank account to me. I was told through career builder to report them to several sources. If any of you have been scammed by them please report them to http://www.IC3.Gov that is the internet fraud for the FBI and they are handling my case for me. Save the checks the envelope and all emails for evidence. I hope we catch them.

You might want to put an exit(); after the header(...); line, so that the page stops sending needlessly after the redirect is sent. Like so:

if(checkmobile())
{
header("Location:http://www.whatever-url-you-want.com");
exit();
}
// etc.

I received the e-mail and i responded back to it. They told me to sign an agreement which stated that I would work for them for a year. I contacted the Better Buisness Bureau and they said this is not a legitimate company...I can only hope that no one will fall for this scam!

What better way to think and read but to have a table in front of you?

I think you are approaching the name from the wrong direction. I did a thesaurus search on 'potty' and it came up blank. Go figure. I just don't think potty is the word to use for this brilliant idea. With potty there is the definition of loopy, slightly insane and eccentric. You don't want that connotation with your product.

How about ToiToiTable.com? It is available.

With Toi Toi Table and Toi by itself as a search term we (notice I just cut myself in on this deal) find 'Table of Isotopes' (smart and busy people), Times of India (foreign market), and best of all, Township Officials of Illinois (Government contracts!!!)

I can help collect the funding when it starts coming in. Hey! We can sell them on eBay!

If we need an address to run this through I know of a UPS store at 110 W. 9th St. Wilmington Delaware that doesn't vet their customers.

I received the same email as previous poster (Hammer,) forunately hotmail caught it and put it in my junk box. I'm always curious about the latest scams so I read it. Glad someone has this one explained, hopefully it deters some poor shmuck from making a bad decision.

I won so many UN, Euro, British, Email lotteries that I should be insanely wealthy by now. In any case the same scheme is now being repeated with TANGRAM INTERIORS COMPANY being used as the company. Here's the buzzards email. Send him a virus or two. craig_smiths@hotmail.com. I'm putting this up so when somebody Googles it, (as I did) they may get a hit here and figure out that all that glitters is not gold. These people relay upon a human fraility called GREED. Money for nothing and the...Don't be a dupe or a chump and fall for the trash of the world.
Hope they get a very nasty intestinal virus and poop their little brains out.

they even attached a word document explaining further, but I wont bore you with the details, point is yea it's a scam. If you are reading this and looking for a job stop using careerbuilder/monster/craigslist I have got no hits from any of these places ( and my resume is flawless) Craigslist is a little better but you still get these scams. My advice if you need work now go through a temp agency I have always had good luck and it has lead to better jobs.........if you get any email that has poor grammer and mispellings.......its a scam!
