I am working on a new feature which shows the "Last 10 Visitors" to a Member's Profile.
Here is the query I created...
SELECT m.username
FROM member AS m
INNER JOIN visitor_log AS v
ON m.id=v.visitor_id
WHERE v.member_viewed=19
In my "visitor_log" table in the "visitor_id" column I have these values...
...which represent different Usernames.
The "0" is what my PHP code inserted into the table when an anonymous or un-logged-in person visits the member's Profile.
I need the "0" returned in my record-set, AND I want a label like "Anonymous Visitor" to appear for m.username
I was considering just creating a record in my "member" table with an "id=0" and "username=Anonymous Visitor" but that doesn't seem proper.
So is there a way to swap any 0's for a label like "Anonymous Visitor" in the query above?
P.S. Should I be using the MySQL tag to show SQL in this thread, or is there an SQL tag which is better?????
v.visitor_id = 0 THEN 'Anonymous Visitor'
END AS username
member AS m
visitor_log AS v
ON m.id=v.visitor_id
I think the syntax is right, it's been a while since I've used CASE so I may have got the syntax wrong.
yeah, you got the CASE syntax wrong, and also INNER JOIN is wrong
SELECT COALESCE(m.username,'Anonymous Visitor') AS username
FROM visitor_log AS v
JOIN member AS m
ON m.id = v.visitor_id
WHERE v.member_viewed = 19
How about this...
$q8 = "SELECT IF(v.visitor_id=0,'Anonymous', m.username) AS username
FROM visitor_log AS v
LEFT JOIN member AS m
ON m.id = v.visitor_id
WHERE v.member_viewed=?
ORDER BY v.created_on DESC
that'll work too, except that i prefer always to use a standard sql construct, rather than a proprietary function that works only in one database system
Fair enough.
BTW, I just noticed that if username1 visits Debbie's Profile 4 times, then I get...
The last 10 visitors on this page were...
Steve Miller
Robert Redford
Bette Davis
Anonymous Visitor
I only want "username1" to appear once, since there is a difference between a "visit" and a "visitor".
This may be a minority opinion, but I think this is something best done at the templating level.
<?php if ($visitorUsername) ?>
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($visitorUsername) ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif ?>
To do this, you'd have to change your SQL query from an inner join to a left join, because you want to retrieve visitor records even if there's no corresponding member (as is the case for '0').
SELECT m.username
FROM visitor_log vl
LEFT JOIN member m
ON vl.member_viewed = m.id
WHERE vl.member_viewed = ?
"DISTINCT" is what you're looking for.
SELECT DISTINCT m.username
and there is also a difference between one anonymous visitor and another
and DISTINCT will lump them all together, skewing the impression of actual visit patterns, because now there will always be 9 real visitors and only one anonymous
So what should I do?
I guess I sorta want it both ways?!
If r937, as a registered and logged in member, visits DoubleDee's Profile 9 times - because deep down we know he still loves me - then I do NOT want him filling up my "Last 10 Visitors" like this...
r937r937r937r937r937r937r937r937r937Jeff Mott
At the same time, as you have correctly pointed out, if I have 9 unique Anonymous Visitors, then I would want to see...
AnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousAnonymousJeff Mott
How can I have it both ways?
(Maybe that is too much for one SQL statement?!
[ot]Would it look weird, or be bad - for whatever reason - to display the Visitors IP Address if they are "Anonymous"?! :-/
Like this...
Anonymous (184.108.40.206)Anonymous (220.127.116.11)Anonymous (188.8.131.52)Anonymous (220.127.116.11)Anonymous (184.108.40.206)Anonymous (126.96.36.199)Anonymous (126.96.36.199)Anonymous (18.104.22.168)Anonymous (220.127.116.11)Jeff Mott
here's a third suggestion for your visitor list --
show only the logged-in visitors, ignore the anonymous ones
That same thought occurred to me as well.
Although, I think the example I gave above with Anonymous (126.96.36.199) seems pretty cool...
I'm with Jeff on this one. This type of computing belongs in the reporting logic.
One thing to note as well, usually looking at member's profiles usually means one has to be logged in. It's only fair.
But you could have a "Anonymous visits" section, to count the anonymous views. Displaying visitors IP is extremely unfriendly.
1.) So if I have time, maybe I'll go back and break things out using two queries, and have a listing of Members who visited the Member's Profile, and then have another heading "___ Anonymous Visitors" so a person can get an accurate gauge of WHO and HOW MANY people are checking them out?!
2.) I can drop the IP Addy idea.
if you're gonna display anonymous visits separately, perhaps you should subtract the bots
I don't understand what you mean?
Visitors can be human or bots. Though you can also have member bots: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?843749-April-1st-Member-of-the-Month
And so how would I know whether an Anonymous Visitor was a legitimate human or a bot?! (I wouldn't.)
So what does this mean...
By IP range and UA strings. Known, well behaved spiders come from specific IP ranges: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=80553

HOUSTON - A man says his truck was stolen from the parking lot of the Walmart on I-10 and Silber in northwest Houston.
When the man, Jerry Hnatiuk, first discovered his truck was stolen, he said his truck wasn't his first concern. That's because inside his truck was his four year old long-haired Chihuahua, Deuce.
"Anybody who has dogs will understand," said Hnatiuk. "Dogs are like children and he needs us to protect him. When the truck was gone, it was insignificant. I just really need to get Deuce back."
According to Hnatiuk, he left Deuce inside his Ford pickup truck last Friday while he ran into the Walmart.
"About twenty minutes later, my truck was gone," said Hnatiuk. "Tragically, Deuce was in it and both are gone."
Hnatiuk said that Walmart management showed him surveillance footage from that afternoon.
"There's a silver (Dodge) Charger that shows up to my truck with a missing back bumper," said Hnatiuk. "Two people got out, got into my truck and within a minute, they were gone."
Nearly 10 miles east, near the intersection of Canadian and Robertson, Hnatiuk said that police did find a laptop computer that was also inside his truck.
"Several of us have been driving through there in hopes of maybe finding Deuce," Hnatiuk said. "I have no idea where he is right now," Hnatiuk said. "He needs some really good tender loving care."
Hnatiuk said there is a $500 reward for anyone who can help him get Deuce back home safely.

This is just amazing. I played a little with the demo for the Unreal engine and I was impressed. The controls seem like they need some work, but overall it's simply amazing.
I'm not sure what to make of it either. I'm waiting for more compelling projects.
I like this! Used to play Street Fighter in my university years on a rented SNES.
Still not convinced. Maybe I'm too stubborn or stupid, but I really don't like hand-writing JSON settings. There are tools that do this better and less error prone due to the human factor, as far as I'm concerned.
The author caught my attention with its approach to OO in JS.He's highly regarded, but he is a bit wrong about closures, in JS at least.
They require two key characteristics: 1) an outer wrapping function being invoked, to create the enclosing scope 2) the return value of the wrapping function must include reference to at least one inner function that then has closure over the private inner scope of the wrapper.
A closure is already formed when an inner function uses variables declared in the outer function scope. Returning the inner function is the common use of a closure, not the definition of a closure in JS.
That's a confusion many developers perpetuate which is part why it may seem like a difficult topic, even though closures are so simple to understand.
To note the recent drama involving Joyent and StrongLoop. It's somehow hurting the nodejs momentum.
He got it wrong. The password field is not a lie.
Hi myty,
Thanks for your comments
Not quite sure when you went to uni, but I was there at the end of the 90's and I used to spend far too much money on playing Street Fighter vs XMen in the Student's Union.My favourite character was Cyclops tag temaing with Akuma.Oh, the signs of a mis-spent youth.
I wasn't either, but I followed this tutorial and was very pleasantly surprised.I'm really trying to crowbar Grunt into my work flow at the moment.I got into node recently when I needed it for a Sublime Text plugin to work, now when I read an article about something that requires npm, I'm less likely to click it away.
This was the first I have heard about Strongloop. If you Google them it seems that tehy are trying to hijack the node.js brand.Do you have any thoughts on this?
Excellent! I want one of those for Christmas Actually, no I don't, I want one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/thumbsUp-PCPRANK-Thumbsup-PC-Prankster/dp/B0031NYDQK

Thumbsup! PC Prankster
However, it probably shouldn't be used on computers that control nuclear reactors, security systems for genetically recreated dinosaur parks and/or zombie experimentation units, captured alien spacecraft or freezers packed with delicious ice cream.
That's a good one. Like this, also for Christmas: http://www.game.co.uk/en/game-christmas-tinner-181968

Ah Sagat, I forgot him. He was cool!Sub-Zero was kind of cool, too, but obviously the king was Raiden
That's kind of sad to see.If a simple commit makes people feel more included then it's a no-brainer, really.
However, when it gets taken to an extreme then no one benefits. I don't know if you remember the British Ruby Conf being called off after a tweet by Josh Susser and the ensuing debate debacle.Just plain sad, really.

"As always the quality of this rehearsal dinner invite is great. It is the perfect size and design for the occasion and everyone that received it, loved it! Aside from adding my own event details, I didn't change a thing which made the process very easy."
"I ordered these invitations for my son's rehearsal dinner. They were perfect. I love the color combination. It blends beautifully with the wedding colors. The quality of the paper and the envelopes was excellent. They were delivered exactly as promised. The only negative thing I can say is that the invitation size was smaller than I anticipated. I would highly recommend the wedding paper divas!"
"As mother of the groom, I was thrilled to find this design for the rehearsal dinner invite. Colors were very true and vibrant. Nice card stock. My future daughter in law loved it too. Would definitely recommend to others."
"I purchased 15 of these invitations for my rehearsal dinner. I chose to use a custom color (raspberry) to match the colors in my wedding. Creating them was simple and fun. The price is very reasonable. They arrived stacked neatly on top of a piece of cardboard to prevent bending and then tightly sealed with cellophane. I cannot wait to mail these invitations to my guests! I loved them so match that I decided to buy my save the dates from WPD's as well."
"I love the invitations. I was able to find exactly the colors to match our theme, plus had the invitations personalized with a photo of the couple.

Welcome to the Holy Land
This April I'm dividing my time between Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Turkey. To many, Israel represents a beacon of democracy, stability, and prosperity in the middle of a bunch of very troubled states. (Having just come from Egypt, I can certainly understand that.) Of course it's the Holy Land–three great religions share some of Israel's most sacred spots. And that means it's the center of a complex political puzzle, and full of great travel experiences. I'm spending about a week here to scout for an upcoming TV episode and I'm in the hands of fine local guides provided by the very supportive Israel Ministry of Tourism. For the next week I'll be sharing a couple of posts a day. Please share this with your friends who may be interested. I hope you enjoy my reporting.

The rapid integration of computer technology into business and industry has generated a continual demand for those with the ability to support business operations through computerization. According to the 1998-1999 Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment of computing professionals is expected to increase much faster than average (36%+) as technology becomes more sophisticated and organizations seek competitive advantages though technology. Database administrators and computer support specialists; computer engineers; and systems analysts are projected to be among the top 20 occupations in the number of new jobs created from 1996 to 2006.
The Management Information Systems major at Shippensburg University focuses on preparing students to enter the computer profession through a strong background in the business functional areas (e.g. accounting, finance, statistics, management, marketing, economics) combined with a competency in programming, systems development, database management and telecommunications. More importantly however, emphasis is placed on preparing the student for the life-long challenge of adapting to a rapidly changing environment. Communication skills, teamwork, creativity, and self-motivation are key factors in any profession, but especially those dealing with business clients and technology integration.

The College of Business at Shippensburg University administers an internship program for all business majors. This program provides BIS majors who have earned 55 or more credits with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of information systems in the business world and to further develop interpersonal skills, self-learning skills, and professional behavior. It also gives students a realistic setting in which to assess their interest and aptitude for the type of work activities required for success in this field. Most of these internship positions are for the summer months; however, some employers prefer a longer internship period. By carefully scheduling the course requirements, it has been possible for students desiring an extended internship experience to do so.
Many of the internship positions are in central Pennsylvania with some in other areas. However, with prior approval of the internship director and the Management Information Systems faculty, students are able to have appropriate positions in other geographic areas approved for an internship.
At the end of the internship experience, each employer/supervisor is asked to evaluate the intern. The overwhelming majority of the employers have rated the intern's performance as exceptional/outstanding or very good. Furthermore, many of the interns have been hired by the business organization after graduation, and a number of interns were retained as part-time employees during their senior year.
The placement surveys conducted by the College of Business asks graduates to evaluate the importance of nine factors typically considered to be important to future employers when evaluating applicants. The factor perceived to be most important by all business graduates was knowledge of the computer; the second most important factor was work experience. The business internship program available at Shippensburg University is an excellent way for Business Information Systems majors to attain work experience and to do so in their major field.

Ellen DeGeneres Returns As Oscar Host
Ellen DeGeneres will be back for a second time to host the Academy Awards.
Producers announced her selection Friday.
DeGeneres hosted the show in 2007, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance.
"I am so excited to be hosting the Oscars for the second time. You know what they say — the third time's the charm," DeGeneres said in a statement.
She tweeted out the news as well.
It's official: I'm hosting the #Oscars! I'd like to thank @TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra.
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) August 2, 2013
This year's host, Seth MacFarlane, drew mixed reviews for an edgy performance. He had already taken himself out of the running for a return engagement next year.
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the show's producers, were "thrilled" to have their "longtime friend" as host of the show. "There are few stars today who have Ellen's gift for comedy, with her great warmth and humanity. She is beloved everywhere and we expect that the audience at the Dolby Theatre, and in homes around the globe, will be as excited by this news as we are."
The Oscars will be held March 2.

More On Relievers 8-23-2017
I chat quite a bit about relievers. Quite a bit of this is because relievers are often (somewhat, at least) homegrown, and very inconsistent at the start. As such, today, I talk about Felix Pena, and bullpens in general. Before I start in earnest, the Brewers claimed Cubs pitcher Aaron Brooks off of waivers on Tuesday. Brooks will lead the Iowa Cubs in innings pitched this season, with just under 140. His numbers aren't especially impressive. However, a part of putting together a Triple-A
Justin Steele To Undergo TJS
Photo credit Larry Kave, Myrtle Beach Pelicans Yeah, some news is worse than other news. Highly ranked Cubs pitching prospect Justin Steele is undergoing Tommy John surgery. My ninth-ranked starting pitcher in the pipeline, Steele now undergoes re-learning how to pitch. I wish I could put a happy face on this, but I can't. Best of luck in your rehab, Justin. Think for yourself. Ask questions. Be nice to others. tim815 on Twitter The Zygote 50 on Facebook
Push On Or Survive 8-21-2017
It looks like only one of the Cubs affiliates will be post-season bound in the minor leagues. Myrtle Beach qualified for the post-season in the first half. South Bend and Eugene barely missed early. It looks like nobody is seriously in the running down the stretch of the first half. Therefore, for most players, the August into September rush is about either pushing on through the end, or surviving. For the Iowa Cubs, manager Marty Pevey had some personal business to attend to.personal business.
Eclipse Baseball 8-21-2017
Photo credit Jennifer Zenda. Baseball is a "guess" sport. A "play the hunches" sport. It isn't a "fact" sport. Pick-off throws or bunts, the action might well be less effective used than not used. The proper decision might well backfire, When the last major U.S. eclipse happened, we were told that the next major one in the USA would be in 2017. Because science. And models. And patterns. And the scientists were right. Baseball doesn't work that way. "I knew we should have gone with Strop
The Bat Signal 8-20-2017
Photo Credit to Rebecca Snyder On Friday morning, the I-Cubs roster was in a relatively calm state. They were down one pitcher. Matt Carasiti had been placed on the 7 Day Disabled List, and not replaced. Teams in pipelines regularly go one player short. However, the bullpen was about to get taxed. The parent Chicago Cubs sent out the Bat Signal, and called up Rob Zastryzny (who was scheduled to start Friday) and Felix Pena to replace injured pitchers Jon Lester and Justin Grimm. As such,
Cubs Add Rivera/DFA Brooks
This one, I got right. The Cubs have added Rene Rivera on waivers, designating Aaron Brooks for assignment. With the injury to Willson Contreras, the Cubs came as close to "needing" to make a move as a tam can get to. Heading into the September stretch, protocol is having (at least) three usable catchers on the roster. Which doesn't include Kyle Schwarber. For instance, imagine a game (before Contreras returns) in September where the starting catcher doubles to lead off the eighth inning. The
The Justin Hancock Case 8-17-2017
I'm writing this on the keyboard on Thursday after going with an actual rough draft, which I rarely write on paper anymore. Today was the finale of the Cincinnati Reds series. Which means not many Cubs relievers are popular. As such, today, I look at Justin Hancock. Hancock, you might not be very familiar with. Acquired by the Cubs for Matt Szczur in May, Hancock was a ninth-round selection by the Padres. He started his career as a starting pitcher, and remained there until a two-start no
The Case For Mike Freeman 8-17-2017
Mike Freeman is likely the second-most invisible player in the Cubs system. Added to the Iowa roster a few weeks ago, the only bigger unknown is Chris Nunn, who the team signed yesterday. Nonetheless my article here is promoting Freeman for a roster spot in September. Freeman has played for three teams in Triple-A this season, all in the Pacific Coast League. He's also has 39 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, with Seattle and the Dodgers. Caught twice in a numbers crunch, the
The Cubs Sign Chris Nunn 8-17-2017
Cubs scouts never get a day off, it seems. Even after the July deadline. The team has signed 2012 Padres draft pick Chris Nunn to a free agent contract. Nunn is a 6-5 LHP from Lipscomb University in Nashville. He advanced as far as Double-A San Antonio in the Padres system before being released after spring training in 2016. The Brewers signed Nunn in April. Yesterday, the Cubs added Nunn after one independent league appearance. Nunn will be plugged in at the same Double-A level he had

So, having gone through all the links shown in GWT and removed those that I can that I don't believe are beneficial, I go back to GWT and they are still there. Weeks and weeks go by, and they won't go away. My understanding is that unless the sites where the links are coming from are updated, they won't get recrawled. I haven't had an unnatural links warning, so I can't notify Google that these links are gone via a reconsideration request.Google encourages webmasters to look at where there links are coming from, but there doesn't seem to be any machinery in place to let them know the work that has been done. Unless I am missing something?
I don't think that can be correct. How will Google know whether the sites have been updated unless it crawls them to find out? :)
My understanding of that is that they can check the last modified date, is that not correct? and if there is no change, no need to crawl? Either way, the pages cannot have been crawled or the non-existent links would not still be showing?
I don't whether or not the Google bot checks the last-modified date. But if the links have been removed, surely the last-modified date will have changed, so it will do the re-crawl in any case.
You say the links are still there after "weeks and weeks". How many weeks exactly? It can take quite a long time for Google's index to be updated.
Also, are you sure the links have in fact been removed? Is it possible that they have been re-posted?
You say the links are still there after "weeks and weeks". How many weeks exactly? It can take quite a long time for Google's index to be updated.
Also, are you sure the links have in fact been removed? Is it possible that they have been re-posted?
This is not by any means something that is unique to my site. But unless someone has been actively trying to remove links, there is no real reason why they should even be aware of this problem. In my case the links were removed up to 6 weeks ago, but others have problems with links that have been gone for much longer (from discussions on other forums). Those of mine have not been re-posted.It is the very fact of the time it takes for Google's index to be updated that I am querying. Ignoring for the moment the possible reasons why a site hasn't been re-crawled,what I am really looking for is a way to prompt such action, or to notify Google that the links are gone.
Why don't you try re-submitting your URL to GWT so that Google can reconsider your site for indexing the pages? I think that would do. And yes, there could be another reason that the sites from which you are getting links are not updated so the obvious reason could be that they aren't crawled yet.
I had a site hacked a while back and a large number of URLs added to it. I removed the added files and submitted a reconsideration request to Google. They responded quite quickly, agreeing that there was no longer a problem with the site - but it took them months to stop reporting the removed URLs as 404 errors. It drove me demented. They knew those pages should never have been there, they'd acknowledged that I'd removed them and that this was A Good Thing - then "complained" that they couldn't find them. :rolleyes: My point being that in my experience, Webmster Tools is not always a true reflection of the situation.
My site has not been de-indexed, and has not had a manual penalty, therefore there is nothing for Google to reconsider.
An interesting story, which does highlight the problem. But unless they have a different database they are using other than that shown in Webmaster Tools, SERPs could be influenced either way by outdated data?

A GLOUCESTERSHIRE charity is encouraging iPhone users to get its free first aid app before they go on holiday.
The free app by St John Ambulance gives users advice on how to treat a range of emergencies as well as minor injuries.
It became an instant success when it was launched in 2010 and was the UK's best selling health and fitness app.
Nearly 120,000 people have now downloaded it and the charity has learnt it has already saved a life, when a mother got in touch to say she was able to give first aid to her choking baby, thanks to the app.
Jim Jones, Schools, Community and Youth Development Co-ordinator for St John Ambulance in Gloucestershire, said:"Whenever we go on holiday, we always make sure we have tickets, money and passports, but this simple app is something we'd also like people to download before they go.
"Most people take their phone with them on holiday and once you've downloaded this app for free, lots of important first aid advice is there for you to access.
"It might be that you are going somewhere where there may be a language barrier or it may be off the beaten track so this app could be the difference between a life lost and life saved when you need it."

Young singer Rachel Allder will perform at the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday after reaching the area finals of Teenstar, the UK's largest competition for teenagers.
Last year's Teenstar winner Luke Friend went on to do well on The X Factor and Miss Allder, of Savernake Road, Burbage, is also hoping to develop her singing career.
The 15-year-old St John's pupil, who goes by the stage name Rea, began singing lessons when she was 12 and travels to Southampton to see her teacher every other week.
She will sing her own version of I Want You Back by The Jackson 5 and if successful she will go through to the grand final, also at the NEC.
Miss Allder said: "I was really shocked to get through, but so happy.
"I'm so excited, it will be great for me to perform in front of such a big audience. My family will be there cheering me on and my little brother has made me a banner.
"I've got a great singing teacher and I enjoy learning, I enjoy the rush that singing gives me, and the way I can express myself."

Do you not see those who were told: 'Hold back from fighting but perform prayer and give the alms? Then when fighting is prescribed for them, a group of them fear people as Allah should be feared, or even more than that. They say, 'OUR LORD, WHY HAVE YOU PRESCRIBED FIGHTING FOR US? IF ONLY YOU WOULD GIVE US JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME!' Say, 'The enjoyment of the this world is very brief. The hereafter is better for those who guard against evil. You will not be wronged by so much as the smallest speck.' (Surat an-Nisa', 77)
Do you see that there is a main point distinguishing the hypocrites? They are against the Islamic Union, they are against the struggle for Islam (intellectual struggle). They are against the spreading of the religion of Allah and dominating the world. They do all, the praying and fasting. They even want to know additional details; for example if a cuttle was to be cut, they would like to know the details of it. But when we say the Islamic Union is to be formed they are hurt, they get caught at this point.

A BODY has been found by police searching for missing teenager Amy Latham.
It comes just hours after the father of the Wimborne teenager made a heartfelt plea on the Daily Echo website for his daughter to return home.
Amy, 18, was last seen by her neighbour at her home in Walford Gardens, Wimborne, on Monday at 1.30pm.
A police spokesman said this evening: "Sadly, a body has been found in woods nearby to the family's address, which is believed to be the body of 18-year-old Amy Latham.
"Her next of kin and the coroner have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious."
Residents tonight reacted with shock after the discovery was made on woodland close to Walford Gardens, where Amy lived with her father.
Heather Bird, of Walford Gardens, said: "I would often see her walking down the road, we were all hoping she had just had a row and stormed off as teenagers do.
"It's so upsetting, you just feel for the family."
Another resident, of nearby Farmer's Walk, added: "The police helicopter has been searching the area since yesterday afternoon.
"It's so tragic, there were about 10 police officers looking for her (in this area) this afternoon, they came to search all the gardens and sheds.
"It's so tragic. We've all been talking about it; 18 years old, it's just awful."
Officers from Dorset Police previously said that they were 'gravely concerned for the welfare of Amy' and launched a full-scale operation to find her.
Information about Amy's disappearance was shared widely on social media and a Facebook page was set up.
Before Amy's body was found, chief Inspector Debbie Marsden, of Dorset Police, said that "Amy has been very upset recently" and her family was concerned that she had come to harm.
She said Amy had taken her mobile phone and had last made contact with a friend at 2.30pm on Monday.
After that, nobody was able to get in touch with her.
Earlier today Amy's father Graham Latham released a message asking her to return home.
He described his daughter as 'very kind, outgoing and much loved by her friends'.
A message posted later on the Facebook page said: "The Latham family are devastated to say that Amy's body has been found.
"They want to thank Amy's friends and family for their support. Please respect their privacy whilst they come to terms with this news."
Amy lived in Wimborne with her father and her mother Sue Latham lives in Sturminster Marshall.
Amy had just finished her A-levels at Queen Elizabeth School in Wimborne and was planning a gap year to visit her sister Rachel in Australia.

THOUSANDS of women, children and pooches dressed in pink crossed the finish line of the Race for Life in Bournemouth this morning.
Held to raise awareness, fundraising and support for Cancer Research, people from across the county tied up their trainers and donned pink vests, hair bands, tutus and more to take on either the 5k or 10k events.
Bournemouth seafront came alive in a sea of pink, as thousands of people warmed up, heard inspirational stories from those who have fought cancer, and shared a moment's silence for those who had lost their battle.
See a full list of runners here: Bournemouth Race For Life 2014.xlsx
Natasha Cole was part of a team of around 30 people taking part in the Race for Life in support of her daughter, Heidi Crowhurst, who died aged 28, following a battle with cancer.
She said: "We have been selling t-shirts, fundraising at the Queen's Park pub, and doing everything we can to raise money for Cancer Research."
Gemma Mills, who was another member of Team Heidi, said: "I am really pleased because I have beaten my target of £200 for the charity, with money still coming in from friends and family."
Katie Groves, 16, Nicola Groves, 43, Chloe Groves, 11, from Mudeford, and Sasha Woodward, 16, from Bashley, were also due to take part.
Katie said: "I am doing this because I lost two of my friends, Karen Andrews, and my neighbour, Moira Stirland, to cancer. My uncle, Gary Rafferty, also beat it after having cancer in his leg."

Myer has blamed economic conditions, the introduction of the carbon tax and a GST loophole on goods bought overseas for its weak performance.
Chairman Paul McClintock said on Friday the retail sector continues to be impacted by "a range of macroeconomic factors".
"While our sales in the first quarter (of the 2012/13 year) reflected a modest improvement in consumer sentiment, the challenging retail and economic environment continues, both in Australia and internationally," he told Myer's annual general meeting in Melbourne.
"Uncertainty at a political level is also impacting business across Australia, at a time when business and consumers alike want and need certainty."
New taxes and charges such as the carbon tax and the flood levy had impacted consumers and their discretionary spending, while current industrial relations settings have significantly increased the company's costs, Mr McClintock said.
He also joined the likes of fellow retail businessmen Gerry Harvey and Solomon Lew in calling on the federal government to cut in the GST-free threshold on goods bought from overseas.
"If the federal government truly values the retail sector, the impact of increasing labour costs and uncompetitive nature of online retailing must be balanced by measures to improve productivity or flexibility," Mr McClintock said.
"We look forward to the outcomes of the GST review, as well as the low import threshold taskforce delivering reforms to ensure the retail industry can continue providing economic benefits to all Australians by remaining globally competitive."
Myer's full year profit in 2011/12 fell 12.7 per cent from the previous year to $139.4 million, with sales down 1.3 per cent.
Its sales in the first quarter of the current year were up one per cent from the same period in the previous year.
Myer shares were up 2.5 cents at $2.195 at 1055 AEDT.

By now most companies have realized just how valuable social media can be, particularly when it comes to marketing. But how do you quantify the value of using social media to promote online learning content?
Dr. Natalie Petouhoff has written extensively about calculating the ROI of social media in terms of reduced support costs for businesses. Check out her great video series on this topic. In fact, she has a free ROI of Social Media webinar coming up on Aug. 25th that is being offered through CRM Xchange – can't wait to learn more about her approach!
But what about other effects of social and online communication? Some things we are currently looking at include:
- Sentiment (i.e., positive/negative perceptions of a product or brand);
- Online customer satisfaction; and
- Traffic to the online resource.
When we share links to helpful resources for our customers, are there other valuable outcomes? How should these outcomes be measured?

Green and his sister, Paula Johnson, went to Brookside Cemetery on Lauder Road over the weekend to visit their grandparents' gravesite. Green said their grandparents' personalized metal vases were stolen from their memorials.
"It would have to be one of the lowest things on Earth for people to do … is to steal from the dead," Green said.
"I could not believe that someone would steal from a cemetery," Johnson said. "We have had flowers taken, but to steal our grandparents' names."
Green said he does not know when the vases were taken, but he said his relatives weren't the only victims.
"I was told, when I reported it, that they had 50 of the same occurrences happen here," Green said. "Fifty alone in the baby section."
Cemetery officials said they have had about a dozen thefts. They said they are working with police and the affected families to help them replace their stolen property.
Green and Johnson said they think the cemetery should be doing more to protect their loved ones.
"I hope they reevaluate their security," Johnson said.
Dignity Memorial owns the cemetery. Company officials said the cemetery has a daily private security patrol and they don't have plans to increase the security measures already in place.

DUBLIN: In a damning reflection on the failed James O'Connor five eighth experiment, the Wallabies side that fell to the British and Irish Lions have been painted as clueless, headless chooks.
Ireland fullback Rob Kearney has bluntly described then coach Robbie Deans' Australian team as poor and without direction as they slumped to a 2-1 home series loss to the Lions four months ago.
But Kearney believes Australia are a far better equipped outfit under new coach Ewen McKenzie, and with Quade Cooper calling the shots at No.10 ahead of this weekend's clash with Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
"I think they've changed a huge amount," said 50-Test fullback Kearney. "I thought during the Lions tour they were pretty poor.
"They've got a lot of new players in, they've got some fresh faces and just the style of their play is very different, too; there seems to be a little bit more direction.
"They know where they're going.
"I think, during that (Lions series), they were a little bit guilty of not really having a clue where they were going next and what they were doing at that moment in time.
"They do have a lot more direction."
Deans' controversial selection of O'Connor, who had barely played any senior rugby at five-eighth, ahead of specialist playmakers like Cooper, Matt Toomua, Berrick Barnes and Christian Lealiifano backfired as the utility back struggled with his option-taking.
Australia also wasn't helped by Leali'ifano, playing at inside centre, being knocked out in the first minute of the first Test, which they lost by two points.
Kearney - kept out of the Lions No.15 jersey by Welsh radar-boot Leigh Halfpenny and injury - said he had the sense they played like a team under pressure as Deans lost his grip on the job.
Despite this, the 27-year-old felt the Wallabies could well have taken the series.
"Even though they were playing poorly in those first two Tests, they could still easily have won them," he said.
"You could still see that they had a lot of raw talent.
"Raw talent does keep you in games even if you don't necessarily have that coaching structure behind you."
Since then Australia has won just three of nine Tests under McKenzie but have scored 18 tries in their last four games.
With Cooper and Toomua combining well at No.10 and 12, outside Will Genia, Kearney believes they will be a dangerous opponent at the redeveloped Lansdowne Road on Sunday morning (AEDT).
"Genia controls a huge amount of what they do and how they play so between the two of them (Genia and Cooper), if we can focus a huge amount on trying to limit them as much as possible there, it will go a long way to changing the outcome of the game," he said.

My life would be simpler if I didn't care—if I gave little thought to national issues such as the 2016 elections, equal opportunities for all within our justice system, the disintegration of our environment, women's reproductive rights.
My life would be simpler if I didn't care about relationships—if I gave little thought to the man I married when I was twenty-one, my adult children, my grandchildren, to the well-being of friends.
But I do pay attention. I do think about issues and people. And I respond to my thoughts and concerns through writing.
I care about girls' education in developing countries and in the U.S.
At age 16 Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head on a school bus in Pakistan after she started a campaign for girls' education. She recovered in Birmingham and has since been honored as the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
I care about domestic violence victims, women and men.

I care about human trafficking.
Twice I had the privilege of accompanying my husband to Seoul, ROK, for a semester. Each Wednesday surviving Comfort Women, sexual slaves of the Imperial Japanese Army before and during World War II, along with their supporters, gather in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. In 2005 I twice joined them.
Human trafficking isn't just a problem of the past.

Setting the stage:
We are now officially into the last month of the season, with 12 games left on the Timberwolves schedule. It hasn't been a pretty season to say the least. The Wolves are taking this one game at a time and have made the (wise) decision to give guys the occasional day of rest here and there. For Kevin Garnett, Nikola Pekovic, and Ricky Rubio, the team is being more than cautious for very different reasons. It will be interesting to see how much KG plays over the next month, if the Wolves only play him at the Target Center, etc.
Ping pong balls are the craze right now and despite the win in New York this past week, the Timberwolves are in the front seat (if not the drivers' seat) for the most ping pong balls in the lottery. I'm not bragging here.
With that in mind, here is a brief preview for another four game week for our Pups:
Game 70: Monday, 3/23, 8pm – Timberpups @ Utah Jazz (TV: No local TV)
Is someone on the FSN broadcast team not allowed in Utah? It feels like this is a game that commonly sees the local blackout on TV. While it would take a miracle to do so, the Jazz have been one of the hotter teams in the NBA. They remain #1 in the NBA in points allowed and will be a tough match-up for the Wolves, even if they were to play at full strength.
Opponent to watch:
Derrick Favors – Favors' name was showing up in trade rumors last year but I imagine that is over with his performance this season – 16+ppg, 8+rpg and a PER over 22. If KG sits this one out, it could be a long night for Adreian Payne.
Game 71: Wednesday, 3/25, 7pm – Los Angeles Lakers @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
The Lakers are making a late run for ping pong balls, having shut Kobe Bryant down for the season and showcasing the likes of Wayne Ellington, Tarik Black, and …
Opponent to watch:
Wesley Johnson – My least favorite lottery pick in Timberwolves' history! Johnson is playing just under 30 minutes a night and still can't score 10ppg or grab 4rpg on average. Awesome.
Game 72: Friday, 3/27, 7pm – Timberpups @ Houston Rockets (TV: FS North)
Despite losing all three prior contests this season, the Wolves have played the Rockets tough. This is another opportunity for the Wolves to put on the original blue uniforms against Kevin McHale's squad … (note: I know this can't happen, but I still yearn for it).
Opponent to watch:
James Harden – Harden is a legitimate MVP candidate this season (top 5 at least). He's putting up about 26-7-6 on a nightly basis and has free reign on the court because … well, he has McHale as a head coach.
Game 73: Sunday, 3/29, 3pm – Timberpups @ New Orleans Pelicans (TV: FS North)
The Pelicans dropped a season high 139 points on the Timberwolves back in November. With the season winding down and the Wolves' resting players, what is New Orleans capable of Sunday afternoon?
Opponent to watch:
Anthony Davis – Another legitimate MVP candidate gets to face the Wolves this week. If you thought Harden's numbers were impressive, Davis is putting up about 25 and 10 to go with about 3 blocks a night and a PER north of 30. Let's hope he can stay healthy because Davis could be the league's best as LeBron and Durant start to age.
A very, very tough week ahead for the Timberwolves … excluding a terrible Lakers team of course. Let's go Wolves!

We're on the hunt for Australia's favourite dishes. Is it the pavlova (and do we care if New Zealand claims it?), mid-loin lamb chops thrown on the barbecue? A beetroot-adorned burger? Or does one of the native meats deserve special status: kangaroo, crocodile or wallaby?
We want to hear from you in time for Australia Day as we search for the nation's best-loved food - the dishes, recipes and ingredients that make us who we are.
We're happy to hear all your nominations, from indigenous foods to well-loved adopted ones that reflect Australia's multiculturalism.
Is our national dish roast lamb and lamingtons? And did Paul Hogan have it right when he suggested we love to throw a shrimp (read prawn) on the barbie?
