The order of categories can be changed using the category manager. I can't see why you would want to edit the category IDs themselves inside the database.

The order of categories can be changed using the category manager. This way only change the pos not change cid in categories database.

Why I need to change cid in category database?

I do totally new Flash Front_End and just use your system to register and upload the pictures.

I load the database like this:

<?
//Include database info
include("LFCZ.php");
// Create new service for PHP Remoting as Class.
class ServerLFCZ {
   function ServerLFCZ() {
      //Define the methodTable
          $this->methodTable = array(
          "doPost" => array(
            "description" => "Writes Flash data to mySQL",
            "access" => "remote"
         ),
         "doReadAlbum" => array(
            "description" => "Read data from mySQL and pass back assoc array",
            "access" => "remote"
         ),
         "doReadCategory" => array(
            "description" => "Read data from mySQL and pass back assoc array",
            "access" => "remote"
         ),
         "doReadPicture" => array(
            "description" => "Read data from mySQL and pass back assoc array",
            "access" => "remote"
         )
      );
      
      //Connect to MySQL and select database
      $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
      $db = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);
   }

   // Do post take an associative array (an Object in Flash) and puts
   // the values in the array into the database. Returns an associative
   // array (which comes back as an object) with a field 'status' which
   // outlines the success or failure of the insertion into the database.
   
   // doRead requests results, passes them back as a resultset which
   // comes back as an instance of mx.remoting.RecordSet
   function doReadAlbum($start) {
      // Create SQL query
      $sql = sprintf("SELECT * FROM LFCZPhoto_albums ORDER BY category");
      // Trace the query in the NetConnection debugger
      NetDebug::trace($sql);
      // Run query on database
      $result = mysql_query($sql);
      NetDebug::trace(mysql_error());
      // Return result
      return $result;
   }   
   function doReadCategory($start) {
      // Create SQL query
      $sqlCategory = sprintf("SELECT * FROM LFCZPhoto_categories ORDER BY cid");
      // Trace the query in the NetConnection debugger
      NetDebug::trace($sqlCategory);
      // Run query on database
      $resultCategory = mysql_query($sqlCategory);
      NetDebug::trace(mysql_error());
      // Return result
      return $resultCategory;
   }
   function doReadPicture($start) {
      // Create SQL query
      $sql2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM LFCZPhoto_pictures ORDER BY pid DESC");
      // Trace the query in the NetConnection debugger
      NetDebug::trace($sql2);
      // Run query on database
      $result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
      NetDebug::trace(mysql_error());
      // Return result
      return $result2;
   }
   
   function doPost($in) {
      // Create SQL statement
      //Sender Information--------------------
      $date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
      $sendername = $this->escape($in['sendername']);
      $senderphone = $this->escape($in['senderphone']);
      $senderemail = $this->escape($in['senderemail']);
      //-----------------------------------------------
      $receiveremail = $this->escape($in['receiveremail']);
      $msg = $this->escape($in['pmsg']);
      $userpid = $this->escape($in['opid']);
      
      $nsname = $this->escape($in['sname']);
      $nsphone = $this->escape($in['sphone']);
      $nsemail = $this->escape($in['semail']);
      $nsmsg = $this->escape($in['smsg']);
      $nstime = $this->escape($in['stime']);
      
      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
      $sql3 = sprintf("INSERT INTO LFCZPhoto_comments (pid, msg_body, msg_date, msg_raw_ip ) VALUES ('$userpid', '$msg', NOW(),'$ip')" );
      
      // Trace the query in the NetConnection debugger
      NetDebug::trace($msg);
      NetDebug::trace($userpid);
      NetDebug::trace($ip);
      NetDebug::trace($sql3);
      NetDebug::trace(mysql_error());
      mb_language("Neutral");
      mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
      mb_http_input( "UTF-8" );
        mb_http_output( "UTF-8" );
      mb_detect_encoding("auto");
      mb_substitute_character("long");
        ob_start("mb_output_handler");
      
      $message = "
      $nsname $sendername\n
      $nsphone $senderphone\n
      $nsemail $senderemail\n
      $nsmsg $msg \n
      $nstime $date\n
      IP: $ip\n";
      
      mb_send_mail("$receiveremail","$sendername",
      $message,"FROM:$senderemail");
      // Run query on database
      $result3 = mysql_query($sql3);
      // Check to see if the query did what it should have and return
      if (mysql_affected_rows() == 1) {
         return array("status" => "success");
      } else {
         return array("status" => "failtest");
      }
   }
   // escape is a private method used for escaping strings before putting them
   // in the db. Otherwise you will have issues with ' (quotes).
   // You don't have to declare it in the methodTable since you
   // won't call it remotely. mysql_real_escape_string is considered more
   // secure than addslashes. You might want to do sanity check here too.
   function escape($string)
   {
      return mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($string));
   }
}
?>

$sqlCategory = sprintf("SELECT * FROM LFCZPhoto_categories ORDER BY cid");

If i insert a new category and it will be last cid. it's position is last one. But I want it will be in somewhere. that's why i want change cid in categories database.

Is it possible to change CID in categories database?

Yours sincerely

It is if you code it. However, that's not a bright idea. Particularly not in terms of search engine friendliness. The order of categories is being stored inside the database as well, just query that piece of information.
