Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Connect to Oracle DB
I just wanted to add my two cents ... I have compiled php with BOTH --with-oracle and --with-oci8. It is usually preferred to have your architectures/systems separate to prevent some performance issues. As a test/demo system then having them on the same box is perfectly acceptable and removes some of the setup issues. The standard oracle (--with-oracle) extension provides basic oracle connectivity for versions 7, 8, and 9. The oci8 (--with-oci8) allows for Oracle 8i (and up) specific functions (LOBs and others). Just a note ... watch what versions of the Oracle client that you install. From my experience the Oracle 9i client can NOT connect to a pre-Oracle 8.0 database. I am connecting to 100+ different Oracle instances from 7.3.x to 9.2.x on many different OS (Solaris, HP, Linux, Windows). My php server is Red Hat Linux 7.2 with Apache. Roy A.

[PHP-DB] Need to Run a PHP script using CRON or ?
I have an application which creates temporary tables. My plan is to remove them after a 24 hour period and only those which are have a created time greater than 24 hours. That part I can do, my question is how will I be able to run this script which is a 2 part script. First thing I do is pull the names of the temporary tables which are going to be deleted from another table. From this result set, I need to DROP tables as well as remove the reference to them from the first table.

[PHP-DB] Weird MSSQL problem
Hi everyone. I have a Redhat 8 box with Apache 2.0.40, PHP 4.3.1, FreeTDS 0.61 set to work with an MS-SQL2000 server. It works fine and I have no problems but today i found this. When i call specific stored procedures it retrieve no rows, and if i paste this query on the Query Analizer it works fine. The function mssql_num_fields() shows correctly the number of fields. The strange thing is that it was working a day ago (the same code). Any thoughts? -- ### # Martin Greco

I guess I could always include it onto a page Well, I guess it would depend upon what your cron.php does. You must be aware that anyone can just type in the URL and run the script at any time, not just when the cron process runs it. For example, my cron.php script creates a mysql backup file and erases any backup files older than 30 days. When it runs, it first checks if the backup for today was already made or not. If it's already there, it does nothing. So, you can call this script all you want and it's not going to mess up anything. Again, it depends on what your script is doing, though. Yes, it's safer to keep it outside of the webroot and call it via the command line. This way you know it's only being called by cron and only when you want it. It just depends on whether you can do that on your system or not. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So, put it in a separate directory under ServerRoot and set up a name based virtual host with an Alias to provide access to that dir. Set the virtual host to reject connections from anything except your local host. Or use the same hostname; but have your VirtualHost listen on a non-standard port. Then your firewall can help block outside access to that port. How much that improves security depends on how you have that machine set up. If you are the only one with shell access; it's probably acceptably good. If untrusted people have shell access; then it's not much better than just sticking it in your datadir and hoping that nobody figures out its URL. -Pat -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
