• iterate through fb:random

  - by fusion

  does anyone know how i would fill data from mysql database in fb:random and iterate through it, to pick a random quote? fb:random $facebook->api_client->fbml_setRefHandle('quotes', '<fb:random> <fb:random-option>Quote 1</fb:random-option> <fb:random-option>Quote 2</fb:random-option> </fb:random>'); mysql data: $rowcount = mysql_result($result, 0, 0); $rand = rand(0,$rowcount-1); $result = mysql_query("SELECT cQuotes, vAuthor, cArabic, vReference FROM thquotes LIMIT $rand, 1", $conn) or die ('Error: '.mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); if ( !$row ) { echo "Empty"; } else{ $fb_box = "<p>" . h($row['cArabic']) . "</p>"; $fb_box .= "<p>" . h($row['cQuotes']) . "</p>"; $fb_box .= "<p>" . h($row['vAuthor']) . "</p>"; $fb_box .= "<p>" . h($row['vReference']) . "</p>"; }

• Using boost::random as the RNG for std::random_shuffle

  - by Greg Rogers

  I have a program that uses the mt19937 random number generator from boost::random. I need to do a random_shuffle and want the random numbers generated for this to be from this shared state so that they can be deterministic with respect to the mersenne twister's previously generated numbers. I tried something like this: void foo(std::vector<unsigned> &vec, boost::mt19937 &state) { struct bar { boost::mt19937 &_state; unsigned operator()(unsigned i) { boost::uniform_int<> rng(0, i - 1); return rng(_state); } bar(boost::mt19937 &state) : _state(state) {} } rand(state); std::random_shuffle(vec.begin(), vec.end(), rand); } But i get a template error calling random_shuffle with rand. However this works: unsigned bar(unsigned i) { boost::mt19937 no_state; boost::uniform_int<> rng(0, i - 1); return rng(no_state); } void foo(std::vector<unsigned> &vec, boost::mt19937 &state) { std::random_shuffle(vec.begin(), vec.end(), bar); } Probably because it is an actual function call. But obviously this doesn't keep the state from the original mersenne twister. What gives? Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do without global variables?

• Implementing Operator Overloading with Logarithms in C++

  - by Jacob Relkin

  Hello my friends, I'm having some issues with implementing a logarithm class with operator overloading in C++. My first goal is how I would implement the changeBase method, I've been having a tough time wrapping my head around it. My secoond goal is to be able to perform an operation where the left operand is a double and the right operand is a logarithm object. Here's a snippet of my log class: // coefficient: double // base: unsigned int // number: double class _log { double coefficient, number; unsigned int base; public: _log() { base = rand(); coefficient = rand(); number = rand(); } _log operator+ ( const double b ) const; _log operator* ( const double b ) const; _log operator- ( const double b ) const; _log operator/ ( const double b ) const; _log operator<< ( const _log &b ); double getValue() const; bool changeBase( unsigned int base ); }; You guys are awesome, thank you for your time.

• random data using php & mysql

  - by Prakash

  I have mysql database structure like below: CREATE TABLE test ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, title text NULL, tags text NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ); data on field tags is stored as a comma separated text like html,php,mysql,website,html etc... now I need create an array that contains around 50 randomly selected tags from random records. currently I am using rand() to select 15 random mysql data from database and then holding all the tags from 15 records in an array. Then I am using array_rand() for randomizing the array and selecting only 50 random records. $query=mysql_query("select * from test order by id asc, RAND() limit 15"); $tags=""; while ($eachData=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $additionalTags=$eachData['tags']; if ($tags=="") { $tags.=$additionalTags; } else { $tags.=$tags.",".$additionalTags; } } $tags=explode(",", $tags); $newTags=array(); foreach ($tags as $tag) { $tag=trim($tag); if ($tag!="") { if (!in_array($tag, $newTags)) { $newTags[]=$tag; } } } $random_newTags=array_rand($newTags, 50); Now I have huge records on the database, and because of that; rand() is performing very slow and sometimes it doesn't work. So can anyone let me know how to handle this situation correctly so that my page will work normally.

• SQL: Order randomly when inserting objects to a table

  - by Ekaterina

  I have an UDF that selects top 6 objects from a table (with a union - code below) and inserts it into another table. (btw SQL 2005) So I paste the UDF below and what the code does is: selects objects for a specific city and add a level to those (from table Europe) union that selection with a selection from the same table for objects that are from the same country and add a level to those From the union, selection is made to get top 6 objects, order by level, so the objects from the same city will be first, and if there aren't any available, then objects from the same country will be returned from the selection. And my problem is, that I want to make a random selection to get random objects from table Europe, but because I insert the result of my selection into a table, I can't use order by newid() or rand() function because they are time-dependent, so I get the following errors: Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'newid' within a function. Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'rand' within a function. UDF: ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[Objects] (@id uniqueidentifier) RETURNS @objects TABLE ( ObjectId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, InternalId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL ) AS BEGIN declare @city varchar(50) declare @country int select @city = city, @country = country from Europe where internalId = @id insert @objects select @id, internalId from ( select distinct top 6 [level], internalId from ( select top 6 1 as [level], internalId from Europe N4 where N4.city = @city and N4.internalId != @id union select top 6 2 as [level], internalId from Europe N5 where N5.countryId = @country and N5.internalId != @id ) as selection_1 order by [level] ) as selection_2 return END If you have fresh ideas, please share them with me. (Just please, don't suggest to order by newid() or to add a column rand() with seed DateTime (by ms or sthg), because that won't work.)

• Seeding many to many tables with Entity Framework

  - by Doozer1979

  I have a meeting entity and a users entity which have a many to many relationship. I'm using Autopoco to create seed data for the Users and meetings How do i seed the UserMeetings linking table that is created by EntityFramework with seed data? The linking table has two fields in it; User_Id, and Meeting_ID. I'm looping through the list of users that autopoco creates and attaching a random number of meetings Here's what i've got so far. foreach (var user in userList) { var rand = new Random(); var amountOfMeetingsToAdd = rand.Next(1, 300); for (var i = 0; i <= amountOfMeetingsToAdd; i++) { var randomMeeting = rand.Next(1, MeetingRecords); //Error occurs on This line user.Meetings.Add(_meetings[randomMeeting]); } } I got an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' even though the meeting record that i'm trying to attach does exist. For info all this is happening prior to me saving the context to the DB.

• Javascript Recursion

  - by rpophessagr

  I have an ajax call and would like to recall it once I finish parsing and animating the result into the page. And that's where I'm getting stuck. I was able to recall the function, but it seems to not take into account the delays in the animation. i.e. The console keeps outputting the values at a wild pace. I thought setInterval might help with the interval being the sum of the length of my delays, but I can't get that to work... function loadEm(){ var result=new Array(); $.getJSON("jsonCall.php",function(results){ $.each(results, function(i, res){ rand = (Math.floor(Math.random()*11)*1000)+2000; fullRand += rand; console.log(fullRand); $("tr:first").delay(rand).queue(function(next) { doStuff(res); next(); }); }); var int=self.setInterval("loadEm()",fullRand); }); } });

• Require reasonably random results from an SQL SELECT query within a Joomla article (Cache enabled)

  - by Shrinivas

  Setup: Joomla website on LAMP stack I have a MySQL table containing some records, these are queried by a simple SELECT on the Joomla article, as pasted below. This specific Joomla website has Caching turned on in Joomla's Global Configuration. I need to randomize the order in which I display the resultset, each time the page is loaded. Regular php/mysql would offer me two approaches for this: 1. use 'order by RAND()' or any of a number of methods to allow a SELECT query to return reasonably random results. 2. once php gets the result from the SELECT into an array, shuffle the array to get a reasonably random order of array items. However, as this Joomla instance has Caching turned ON in its Global Configuration, either of the above approaches fails. The first time I load the page the order is randomized, however any further reloads do not cause the order to change, as the page is delivered from cache. The instant the Cache is disabled, both approaches (shuffle/order by rand) work perfectly. What am I missing? How do I override the Global Cache for this specific article? A very simple requirement, that is met by both php and mysql reasonably well, is blocked by the Joomla Cache that I cannot turn off. The php that returns results from the database. <pre> $db = JFactory::getDBO(); $select = "SELECT id FROM jos_mytable;"; //order by RAND() $db->setQuery($select); echo $db->getQuery(); //Show me the Query! $rows = $db->loadObjectList(); //shuffle($rows); foreach($rows as $row) { echo "$row->id"; }

• Criteria for triggering garbage collection in .Net

  - by Kennet Belenky

  I've come across some curious behavior with regard to garbage collection in .Net. The following program will throw an OutOfMemoryException very quickly (after less than a second on a 32-bit, 2GB machine). The Foo finalizer is never called. class Foo { static Dictionary<Guid, WeakReference> allFoos = new Dictionary<Guid, WeakReference>(); Guid guid = Guid.NewGuid(); byte[] buffer = new byte[1000000]; static Random rand = new Random(); public Foo() { // Uncomment the following line and the program will run forever. // rand.NextBytes(buffer); allFoos[guid] = new WeakReference(this); } ~Foo() { allFoos.Remove(guid); } static public void Main(string args[]) { for (; ; ) { new Foo(); } } } If the rand.nextBytes line is uncommented, it will run ad infinitum, and the Foo finalizer is regularly invoked. Why is that? My best guess is that in the former case, either the CLR or the Windows VMM is lazy about allocating physical memory. The buffer never gets written to, so the physical memory is never used. When the address space runs out, the system crashes. In the latter case, the system runs out of physical memory before it runs out of address space, the GC is triggered and the objects are collected. However, here's the part I don't get. Assuming my theory is correct, why doesn't the GC trigger when the address space runs low? If my theory is incorrect, then what's the real explanation?

• Do running times match with O(nlogn)?

  - by user472221

  Hi I have written a class(greedy strategy) that at first i used sort method which has O(nlogn) Collections.sort(array, new SortingObjectsWithProbabilityField()); and then i used the insert method of binary search tree which takes O(h) and h here is the tree height. for different n ,the running time will be : n,running time 17,515428 33,783340 65,540572 129,1285080 257,2052216 513,4299709 which I think is not correct because for increasing n , the running time should almost increase. This method will take the running time: Exponent = -1; for(int n = 2;n<1000;n+=Math.pow(2,exponent){ for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) { Random rand = new Random(); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { Element e = new Element(rand.nextInt(100) + 1, rand.nextInt(100) + 1, 0); for (int k = 0; k < i; k++) { if (e.getDigit() == randList.get(k).getDigit()) { e.setDigit(e.getDigit() + 1); } } randList.add(e); } double sum = 0.0; for (int i = 0; i < randList.size(); i++) { sum += randList.get(i).getProbability(); } for (Element i : randList) { i.setProbability(i.getProbability() / sum); } //Get time. long t2 = System.nanoTime(); GreedyVersion greedy = new GreedyVersion((ArrayList<Element>) randList); long t3 = System.nanoTime(); timeForGreedy = timeForGreedy + t3 - t2; } System.out.println(n + "," + "," + timeForGreedy/3 ); exponent++; } thanks

• selected option not clearing from memory android

  - by user2980560

  I have a small random number spinner that when you click gives a random number. I am having two problems. The first is when the main activity loads it displays a random number on the screen without the random number spinner being clicked. I am unsure what to set to false to keep it from opening with the main activity. The second problem is that when you select an option from the spinner it does not clear. Meaning that If you click on option D6 or D20 then you can not click on the same option again until selecting the other option first. Essentially the selection does not clear out of memory after the random number is selected. Here is the random number code public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { Random rand = new Random(); int roll; // An item was selected. if (spinner1.getSelectedItemPosition()==0) { roll = rand.nextInt(6)+1; } else { roll = rand.nextInt(20)+1; } // Put the result into a string. String text = "You rolled a " + roll; // Build a dialog box and with the result string and a single button AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage(text).setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { // do things when the user clicks ok. } }); AlertDialog alert = builder.create(); // Show the dialog box. alert.show(); }

Stevens was the first vice chairman of the political party Boston Tea Party. He resigned from that position in 2008. In 2010, he announced the formation of the Personal Freedom Party of New York. Stevens runs the blog site Liberty Lion. He is a graduate of New York University and Hofstra University School of Law. Stevens is on the ballot in CO, and FL. The Objectivist Party is a political party in the United States that seeks to promote Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism in the political realm. The party was formed on February 2, 2008 by Thomas Stevens; the date was chosen to coincide with Rand's birthday. The party believes in the repeal of the federal income tax; thus the repeal of the 16th Amendment. The income tax would then be replaced by a Flat Tax of 10% or Federal sales tax. The party supports the 2nd Amendment, but only as long as violent criminals are not permitted to own any weapon. Learn more about Tom Stevens and Objectivist Party on Wikipedia.

• Random Movement for multiple entities

  - by opiop65

  I have this code for a arraylist of entities. All the entities use the same random and so all of them move in the same direction. How can I change it so it generates a new random number for each entity? public void moveFemale() { for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){ random = rand.nextInt(99); } if (random >= 0 && random <= 25) { posX -= enemyWalkSpeed; // right } if (random >= 26 && random <= 50) { posX += enemyWalkSpeed; // left } if (random >= 51 && random <= 75) { posY -= enemyWalkSpeed; // up } if (random >= 76 && random <= 100) { posY += enemyWalkSpeed; // down } } Is this correct? public void moveFemale() { for (Female female: GameFrame.females){ female.lastChangedDirectionTime += elapsedTime; if (female.lastChangedDirectionTime >= CHANGE_DIRECTION_TIME) { female.lastChangedDirectionTime = 0; random = rand.nextInt(100); if (random >= 0 && random <= 25) { posX -= enemyWalkSpeed; // right } if (random >= 26 && random <= 50) { posX += enemyWalkSpeed; // left } if (random >= 51 && random <= 75) { posY -= enemyWalkSpeed; // up } if (random >= 76 && random <= 100) { posY += enemyWalkSpeed; // down } } } }

• Inconsistent accessibility error in xna.

  - by Tom

  Hey all, you may remember me asking a question regarding a snake game I was creating about two weeks ago. Well I'm quite far now into making the game (thanks to a brilliant tutorial I found). But I've come across the error described named above. So heres my problem; I have a SnakeFood class that has a method called "Reposition". In the game1 class I have a method called "UpdateInGame" which calls the reposition method to load an orange that spawns in a random place every second. My latest piece of code changed the reposition method to allow the snake I have on the screen to not be overlapped by the orange that randomly spawns. Now I get the error (in full): Error 1 Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type 'TheMathsSnakeGame.Snake' is less accessible than method 'TheMathsSnakeGame.SnakeFood.Reposition(TheMathsSnakeGame.Snake)' C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\TheMathsSnakeGame\TheMathsSnakeGame\SnakeFood.cs 33 21 TheMathsSnakeGame I understand what the errors trying to tell me but having changed the accessiblity of the methods, I still can't get it to work. Sorry about the longwinded question. Thanks in advance :) Edit: Code I'm using (Game1 Class) private void UpdateInGame(GameTime gameTime) { //Calls the oranges "reposition" method every second if (gameTime.TotalGameTime.Milliseconds % 1000 == 0) orange.Reposition(sidney); sidney.Update(gameTime); } (SnakeFood Class) public void Reposition(Snake snake) { do { position = new Point(rand.Next(Grid.maxHeight), rand.Next(Grid.maxWidth)); } while (snake.IsBodyOnPoint(position)); }

• I’m new to C++ and unsure about how to improve this code [migrated]

  - by Laian Alsabbagh

  The purpose of the following code is to get a random number of 100 nodes and to distribute these nodes randomly in range 500*500 …(X,Y).. this was the first step #include<iostream> #include <fstream> #include<cmath> using namespace std; int main() { const int x = 0, y = 1; int nodes[100][2]; ofstream myfile; myfile.open ("example.txt"); myfile << "Writing this to a file.\n"; for (int i=0; i<100 ;i++) { nodes[i][x] = rand() % 501; nodes[i][y] = rand() % 501; myfile <<nodes[i][x]<<" "<<nodes[i][y]; } myfile.close(); } now the next step is to improve this code to distribute these nodes in order ( "Imust divide both xy_coordinates as : x= 0-100-200-300-400-500 & y=0-100-200-300-400-500) next is to distribute the nodes (regardless number of nodes) in order range Starting from (0,100 )….(100,100)..(100,200)…….untile i reach the last point (500,500),, ") I’m really confused of how to do it correctly I start to think to define 2 dimensional array , and then to define 2 for loops enter code here Int no_nodes=100; Int XY_coordinate [500][500]; For (int i=0;i<no_nodes; i++) { For (int j=0;j<no_nodes; j++)

• Template problems: No matching function for call

  - by Nick Sweet

  I'm trying to create a template class, and when I define a non-member template function, I get the "No matching function for call to randvec()" error. I have a template class defined as: template <class T> class Vector { T x, y, z; public: //constructors Vector(); Vector(const T& x, const T& y, const T& z); Vector(const Vector& u); //accessors T getx() const; T gety() const; T getz() const; //mutators void setx(const T& x); void sety(const T& y); void setz(const T& z); //operations void operator-(); Vector plus(const Vector& v); Vector minus(const Vector& v); Vector cross(const Vector& v); T dot(const Vector& v); void times(const T& s); T length() const; //Vector<T>& randvec(); //operators Vector& operator=(const Vector& rhs); friend std::ostream& operator<< <T>(std::ostream&, const Vector<T>&); }; and the function in question, which I've defined after all those functions above, is: //random Vector template <class T> Vector<double>& randvec() { const int min=-10, max=10; Vector<double>* r = new Vector<double>; int randx, randy, randz, temp; const int bucket_size = RAND_MAX/(max-min +1); temp = rand(); //voodoo hackery do randx = (rand()/bucket_size)+min; while (randx < min || randx > max); r->setx(randx); do randy = (rand()/bucket_size)+min; while (randy < min || randy > max); r->sety(randy); do randz = (rand()/bucket_size)+min; while (randz < min || randz > max); r->setz(randz); return *r; } Yet, every time I call it in my main function using a line like: Vector<double> a(randvec()); I get that error. However, if I remove the template and define it using 'double' instead of 'T', the call to randvec() works perfectly. Why doesn't it recognize randvec()? P.S. Don't mind the bit labeled voodoo hackery - this is just a cheap hack so that I can get around another problem I encountered.

• Cumulative +1/-1 Cointoss crashes on 1000 iterations. Please advise; c++ boost random libraries

  following some former advice Multithreaded application, am I doing it right? I think I have a threadsafe number generator using boost, but my program crashes when I input 1000 iterations. The output .csv file when graphed looks right, but I'm not sure why it's crashing. It's using _beginthread, and everyone is telling me I should use the more (convoluted) _beingthreadex, which I'm not familiar with.

• Random value from Flags enum

  - by Chris Porter

  Say I have a function that accepts an enum decorated with the Flags attribute. If the value of the enum is a combination of more than one of the enum elements how can I extract one of those elements at random? I have the following but it seems there must be a better way. [Flags] enum Colours { Blue = 1, Red = 2, Green = 4 } public static void Main() { var options = Colours.Blue | Colours.Red | Colours.Green; var opts = options.ToString().Split(','); var rand = new Random(); var selected = opts[rand.Next(opts.Length)].Trim(); var myEnum = Enum.Parse(typeof(Colours), selected); Console.WriteLine(myEnum); Console.ReadLine(); }

• Where is the virtual function call overhead?

  - by Semen Semenych

  Hello everybody, I'm trying to benchmark the difference between a function pointer call and a virtual function call. To do this, I have written two pieces of code, that do the same mathematical computation over an array. One variant uses an array of pointers to functions and calls those in a loop. The other variant uses an array of pointers to a base class and calls its virtual function, which is overloaded in the derived classes to do absolutely the same thing as the functions in the first variant. Then I print the time elapsed and use a simple shell script to run the benchmark many times and compute the average run time. Here is the code: #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> #include <cmath> using namespace std; long long timespecDiff(struct timespec *timeA_p, struct timespec *timeB_p) { return ((timeA_p->tv_sec * 1000000000) + timeA_p->tv_nsec) - ((timeB_p->tv_sec * 1000000000) + timeB_p->tv_nsec); } void function_not( double *d ) { *d = sin(*d); } void function_and( double *d ) { *d = cos(*d); } void function_or( double *d ) { *d = tan(*d); } void function_xor( double *d ) { *d = sqrt(*d); } void ( * const function_table[4] )( double* ) = { &function_not, &function_and, &function_or, &function_xor }; int main(void) { srand(time(0)); void ( * index_array[100000] )( double * ); double array[100000]; for ( long int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i ) { index_array[i] = function_table[ rand() % 4 ]; array[i] = ( double )( rand() / 1000 ); } struct timespec start, end; clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &start); for ( long int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i ) { index_array[i]( &array[i] ); } clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &end); unsigned long long time_elapsed = timespecDiff(&end, &start); cout << time_elapsed / 1000000000.0 << endl; } and here is the virtual function variant: #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> #include <cmath> using namespace std; long long timespecDiff(struct timespec *timeA_p, struct timespec *timeB_p) { return ((timeA_p->tv_sec * 1000000000) + timeA_p->tv_nsec) - ((timeB_p->tv_sec * 1000000000) + timeB_p->tv_nsec); } class A { public: virtual void calculate( double *i ) = 0; }; class A1 : public A { public: void calculate( double *i ) { *i = sin(*i); } }; class A2 : public A { public: void calculate( double *i ) { *i = cos(*i); } }; class A3 : public A { public: void calculate( double *i ) { *i = tan(*i); } }; class A4 : public A { public: void calculate( double *i ) { *i = sqrt(*i); } }; int main(void) { srand(time(0)); A *base[100000]; double array[100000]; for ( long int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i ) { array[i] = ( double )( rand() / 1000 ); switch ( rand() % 4 ) { case 0: base[i] = new A1(); break; case 1: base[i] = new A2(); break; case 2: base[i] = new A3(); break; case 3: base[i] = new A4(); break; } } struct timespec start, end; clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &start); for ( int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i ) { base[i]->calculate( &array[i] ); } clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &end); unsigned long long time_elapsed = timespecDiff(&end, &start); cout << time_elapsed / 1000000000.0 << endl; } My system is LInux, Fedora 13, gcc 4.4.2. The code is compiled it with g++ -O3. The first one is test1, the second is test2. Now I see this in console: [Ignat@localhost circuit_testing]$ ./test2 && ./test2 0.0153142 0.0153166 Well, more or less, I think. And then, this: [Ignat@localhost circuit_testing]$ ./test2 && ./test2 0.01531 0.0152476 Where are the 25% which should be visible? How can the first executable be even slower than the second one? I'm asking this because I'm doing a project which involves calling a lot of small functions in a row like this in order to compute the values of an array, and the code I've inherited does a very complex manipulation to avoid the virtual function call overhead. Now where is this famous call overhead?

• How do I get the cell value from a formula in Excel using VBA?

  - by Simon

  I have a formula in a range of cells in a worksheet which evaluate to numerical values. How do I get the numerical values in VBA from a range passed into a function? Let's say the first 10 rows of column A in a worksheet contain rand() and I am passing that as an argument to my function... public Function X(data as Range) as double for c in data.Cells c.Value 'This is always Empty c.Value2 'This is always Empty c.Formula 'This contains RAND() next end Function I call the function from a cell... =X(a1:a10) How do I get at the cell value, e.g. 0.62933645?

• Allowing optional variables with Rewrite Cond

  - by James Doc

  I currently have the following code: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !assets/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !uploads/ RewriteRule ^([a-z|0-9_&;=-]+)/([a-z|0-9_&;=-]+) index.php?method=$1&value=$2 [NC,L] This works perfectly to redirect 'page/home' to 'index.php?method=page&value=home. However at some points I need to add an extra variable or two to the query string such as 'admin/useraccounts/mod/2'. When I simply tack on bits to the end of the rewrite rule it works if all the variables are 'page/home/rand/rand' or 'admin/useraccounts/mod/2', but if anything is missing such as 'page/home' I get a 404. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks.

• SQL: select random row from table where the ID of the row isn't in another table?

  - by johnrl

  I've been looking at fast ways to select a random row from a table and have found the following site: http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/mysql/order-by-rand/&hl=en&strip=1 What I want to do is to select a random url from my table 'urls' that I DON'T have in my other table 'urlinfo'.The query I am using now selects a random url from 'urls' but I need it modified to only return a random url that is NOT in the 'urlinfo' table. Heres the query: SELECT url FROM urls JOIN (SELECT CEIL(RAND() * (SELECT MAX(urlid) FROM urls ) ) AS urlid ) AS r2 USING(urlid); And the two tables: CREATE TABLE urls ( urlid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, url VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, ) ENGINE=INNODB; CREATE TABLE urlinfo ( urlid INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, urlinfo VARCHAR(10000), FOREIGN KEY (urlid) REFERENCES urls (urlid) ) ENGINE=INNODB;

• How to add if statement in SQL ?

  - by shin

  I have a following MySQL with two parameters, $catname and $limit=1. And it is working fine. SELECT P.*, C.Name AS CatName FROM omc_product AS P LEFT JOIN omc_category AS C ON C.id = P.category_id WHERE C.Name = '$catname' AND p.status = 'active' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0, $limit Now I want to add another parameter $order. $order can be either ODER BY RAND() or ORDER BY product_order in the table omc_product. Could anyone tell me how to write this query please? Thanks in advance.
