I am a newbie with PHP, MySQL, and running queries etc so I am hoping someone here can at least point me in the right direction.
I am in the processes of doing a site redesign for a client. They currently have a “scripture of the day” type feature on their church website. This currently is pulling from a table in their site’s database. All I currently have is a CSV file with a line for each day of the year that looks like this.
1;"1";"1";"Genesis 1-2";"Luke 1";;Where 1 = day of the year 1=january and 1= the 1st of the month, then there are two verses for that day; Genesis 1-2 and Luke 1. This data is then passed through the url to biblegateway.com
The PHP function on their existing site looks like this.
function getreading() {
$month = date("m");
$day = date("d");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `scriptures` WHERE `month` = '$month' AND `day` = '$day'");
$verse = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$reading = "<ul>\r\n\t\t";
if ($verse[verse1]) {$reading .= "<li><a >$verse[verse1]</a></li>\r\n\t\t"; };
if ($verse[verse2]) {$reading .= "<li><a >$verse[verse2]</a></li>\r\n\t\t"; };
if ($verse[verse3]) {$reading .= "<li><a >$verse[verse3]</a></li>\r\n\t\t"; };
if ($verse[verse4]) {$reading .= "<li><a >$verse[verse4]</a></li>\r\n\t\t"; };
$reading .= "</ul>\r\n";
return $reading;
}What I am wondering, is how do I either use this CSV file, or import it into my database, then, would I be able to use the query module to pull the daily results?
