Now that I have my site opening with randomly selected songs, I need a bit
more script to add to it.
I have a database setup to keep track of the songs played.
What I want a script for is this:
JS detects when the song is being played, then PHP will access the database
and report it.
Or maybe in some possible way using ajax?
On the pages where I use another audio player, I set the script so that PHP
would report the "hit" as the song is chosen.
If you want the job, you got it.

With you as the client? $500 per hour, with a 20-hour minimum. In gold. In advance.

how do you know what I've got since you can't see it?
The table I have now consists of the following information:
1) songID
2) hits
3) title
4) artist
5) license
the last column is primarily for use by either BMI or ASCAP for helping
them when my quarterly report is due. It is optional.
I use the wordpress standalone audio player.
As it is the simplest audio player available.
you can email me through info[at]mroldies.net
Along with the hit counter, I would like to have some information displayed
just below the player as the song is played. Like year and peak.

And you see nothing wrong or not-normalized about that?

you tell me how it should be.
I don't see the need of creating two tables when one will work just the
same.

I had a look at this so called normilisation crap.
In order to find the author of a given book, along with the ISBN, he has to
search through 3 tables.
As well as keeping track of things in his code.
He totally compounds all of the information he wants in 10 tables.
IMO overloading the server as well as needless memory usage.
Like ost of you guys here in this forum, if it needs more than three
columns, create another table.
If he needs to delte a book, then he has to delte all the entires that
correspond in 10 tables.
Again, overloading the server needlessly.
In his case, I can see using 2 tables.
One for the book information, and one for the author information.
That way, when a book is deleted, the author information is maintained.

I'm curious.....
Since when is "properly-normalized MySQL database" on-topic here?
Above question does NOT state that is NOT good to do normalization.
(yeah, i love double use of 'NOT' in 1 sentence ;)

because the master dorks in this group say it is.
php and mysql kind of go hand in hand anyway.
Can you use mysql commands without a page declaration being php?
IMO, mysql is kind of a subset of php.

Because Richard is asking for help, and the ability to do a good job on
a website depends in part on a properly normalized database.

So do I and my wife, but even you would be capable of recognizing us as distinctly different
entities.

Of course you can. MySQL commands can be issued from the command line, or from a
front-end client written in any of several different languages including C#, Python, or Ruby.
> IMO, mysql is kind of a subset of php.
Even had you made a deliberate effort to do so, you could not possibly have done a better
job of demonstrating the utter worthlessness of your opinions than you did with that
ridiculous statement.
PHP is a programming language. MySQL is a database management system. They can
function together, or they can function separately. Just because an application can be built
using both PHP and MySQL does not make MySQL a "subset" of PHP any more than the
fact that a house is built from lumber and plaster makes plaster a "subset" of lumber.

You assume RTS knows the difference between a programming language and a

I'm still trying to figure out how the JS element is meant to figure out
that the song is being played.
Especially if it's been saved outside of the browser, eg downloaded with
a tool such as wget, or just lifted from the browser cache.
The only semi-reliable way of tracking accesses to a given file is going
to be monitoring requests for that file server side.
Mind you, I suspect RtS will be bankrupt from paying music license fees
before he gets the site up and running anyway.

You can't monitor it server-side. For instance, there is no way to
relate a file fetches by wget with a browser.
I would fetch the music with an AJAX request and track it that way.

Hi Richard
Considering the time it would take to familiarise myself with your
code, make, and then test your proposed changes £50 should cover it.
Let me know if I can help.

Gabe, I'm looking forward to reading your posts about this project on
www.clientsfromhell.net over the coming months.

Mr. Miller, and Mr. Stuckle, seriously, what gives you the right to play
God, Judge, jury and executioner?
A few years ago, I asked for someone to write a php script that would
capture certain webpages and strip it off certain information.
Mr. Stuckle did the job , quite nicely, and he was paid for the job.
Now tat I am working with databases, I am getting my ass kicked around
simply because I don't know how to "normalise" a database.
I get laughed at because my simple table, is uh well, to simple for you
highly normalised asswipes to comprehend.
What is so damned wrong with a table where the column names are songid,
hits, title,artist?
Care to explain to me how this should be "normalised"?
You guys keep speaking of normalised yet never define it and never show an
example.
Gabe comes along and makes a genuine offer.
You two instantly bash him because he responded to me.
Sorry Gabe, for the bashing.
As for Gabe, I won't do business with him because with his offer, it sounds
like he really doesn't have the expertise required to do the job I want
done.
Both of you owe Gabe an apology.
If you want to bash me, bash me.

No, you're getting kicked around and laughed at because of your aggressive rejection of
sound database design principles for no reason other than your own failure to understand
them.

I didn't bash him. I simply predicted that he will not find working with you to be a pleasant
experience.
And I stand by that prediction.

What for?

That's what I've been doing.

Richard, I am the Head of International IT (which also means senior
developer and lead tech) for a large well-known cosmetics company.
Since bcoming employed with them 3 years ago I have headed up the
develpment and subsequent launch of 28 inertnational sites for various
countries in which they operate. I am also hold Certified Application
Security Tester (CAST) and Certified Security Testing Associate (CSTA)
qualifications issued by 7Safe. By all means I can be considered
over-qualified for your job that would require very basic web coding
that I would expect from one of our junior developers. I need to earn a
living just like anyone else and do not consider myself "above" any
work, I also don't feel the need nor inclination to discuss my
curriculum vitae on a public newgroup. If you still need someone to
give you a hand with this job, or any other little jobs then email me
directly and you ask me whatever questions you feel necessary to
establish my legitimacy. As for me, I don't really care if you are
client from hell or heaven, so long as you pay the agreed price when
I've completed the agreed work.
By they way, I quoted £50 based on the expectation of writing some JS
to listen for events, fire off AJAX calls to a PHP script, and then
writing the PHP script that would process the AJAX request and make
some DB queries. I don't see it taking very long at all to code this,
just a few minutes.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Gabe

Wrong. I have NEVER done any work for you.

Yep - like any other language and MySQL.

Yes, of course. MySQL is a database system and has nothing to do with
PHP at all. There is a command line client for MySQL and you can use it
with many other languages - Perl, Python, C++, Java...
PHP just supports using MySQL - as one of many options. But you can also
use PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle etc..

No - you got you "ass kicked around", because you tell others they are
ignorant even after you clearly demonstrated that you are not able to
understand what "software development" means at all. "IMO, mysql is kind
of a subset of php."... oh my...
It seems you are just mentally not able to understand the principles of
software development and databases (and many other topics).
That's ok, not everybody is a good software developer, web designer etc.
- but then don't try to tell others why their explanations are ignorant,
false or whatever.

READ HERE:
<http://www.studytonight.com/dbms/database-normalization.php>
<http://databases.about.com/od/specificproducts/a/normalization.htm>
If you don't understand that, it's YOUR problem, not theirs.
BTW: This has also been discussed several times.

Based on your nearly non-existing knowledge about technical topics
concerning PHP and databases your are simply not able to judge the
expertise.

A few minutes? That's something between 5 and maybe 10? For all the
above stuff (including "handling the response" I assume)? Seems as if
you are fully richard-compatible.

Absolutey, just a few minutes of actual coding. This is very
run-of-the-mill stuff, waaaay too easy but I'm always up for earning
some easy income. It would probably have taken 45 mins to an hour in
total, most of the time would be taken understanding the existing
application since I've not worked on his before. Actual coding of ajax
calls, PHP handler, and database queries should not take more than 10
minutes. I mean he was asking for some super-easy work to be done!
