Re: [PHP-DB] What could be the right approach to get this data
Sessions use cookie unless you force the URL session ID. Once you do that, your options are pretty limited. You must pass some sort of identifier from page load to page load to track a session. This can either be via cookie (a preferred method) or through GET or POST variables. There is no other good way that I'm aware of. Actually, you might be able to engineer a small persistant data store based on a Flash object. I've seen this done before - I think there are some javascript libraries that use this technique. Why complicate things when you can just use cookies? I still don't understand people's aversion to using them. They serve a very useful purpose and the downsides are trivial. -Micah On 09/25/2007 01:51 AM, Chris Carter wrote: Hi, I have users loging in and posting jobs.

Re: [PHP-DB] Include function across servers
I'm not totally clear on what you're asking, so here's two options: If you use the include() function, you're pulling the code from the external server and running on the local server. If you're running an HTTP call, say via an Ajax routine for example, the code runs on the external server. The difference is if you're grabbing the source from the external server and running it on the local php interpreter, or if you're using the external php setup. This seems to be what you're asking, the answer in this case is, either one could happen, it depends on your implementation. If you provide details on the exact implementation then I can give a more exact answer.

Does it work to use an include function in the php code on one site that calls a function on the other site? If you include a file on a remote server that runs a function, where does the function run - on the server where the function is originally written or on the calling server? I am thinking that if I write code, it is one way to make the functionality available without actually disposing of the source code itself. So the included functions might be variable values. Eg you could pass back a whole calendar to the calling server, which then just prints on the calling web site just by printing the returned variable. (I know that in terms of getting data to mark up the calendar the database would need to be fully referenced: user, password, server, and the calling (shared) host for instance will ask for the remote IP address to add to a white list.)

Re: [PHP-DB] Caching query results in html pages
This may work, although I just made it up. I can see already that you'd
have some problems with multiple scripts running at once. If a script
opens the cache, then a second script saves new cache information before
the first script saves it's data, the first script would overwrite the
second script's update.
Maybe instead of a read at the beginning of script execution, a read at
the beginning of each query would be better?
Save cache results to a file:
?
// script start
$querycache = unserialize(file_get_contents(query.cache));
/*
$querycache format:
array('sql' = array(), 'result'=array(), 'time'=array());
For each sql statement 'sql' you have a result array.
*/
// run all your queries through a function:
function query($sql) {
$cached = array_search($sql, $querycache['sql'])
// check to see if the result is old
if (time() - $querycache['time'][$cached] $max_time) {
unset($querycache['time'][$cached]);
unset($querycache['sql'][$cached]);
unset($querycache['result'][$cached]);
$cached = false;
}
if ($cached) {
return $querycache['result'][$cached];
} else {
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$querycache['sql'][] = $sql;
$index = array_search($querycache['sql']);
$querycache['time'][$index] = time();
while ($r = assoc($result)) {
$querycache['result'][$index][] = $r;
}
// save cache for other scripts
file_put_contents('query.cache', serialize($querycache));
return $querycache['result'][$index];
}
}
... It's actually kind of a complicated process now that I'm thinking
about it.

Re: [PHP-DB] array field type
Wrong! Take a look at the SET datatype http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/set.html. This allows you to have an array of values in a single field, and the user can select any number of them. Sort of, but not really: This is a really specialized keyword, and depends on binary mapping of enum-ish sets. As a results you have a maximum of 64 possible values, and only 1 dimension. Large or multdimensional arrays wouldn't work with this. -Micah -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] array field type
Not a single field, but there's several methods of storing trees of
information, which is what an array is. Here's one:
Nested Array storage table:
ArrayID (int, autonumber)
keyname (text)
parent (int)
data (bigtext or whatever would be appropriate for the data you're storing)
For an array like this:
array('one'=1, 'two'=array('three'=3, 'four'=4))
the table would store these rows:
1, 'one', 0, 1
2, 'two', 0, 2
3, 'three', 2, 3
4, 'four', 2, 4
You can use a recursive function to restore the array, unless you
require the granular functionality this type of process would give you
such as sorting and filtering and statistics gathering.

However, I think in the long run, you'd be better off serializing the data.

Re: [PHP-DB] Mysql autentication problem
In mysql 4.1, they changed the hash format of the passwords. If you stored the password from a 3.x client, and area accessing with a 4.x or 5.x client, or the other way around, you might have similar problems. Your command line client is likely the same version as the server, so I'm guessing that your php might be older. However, this situation is usually accompanied by a specific error message referencing the client version.

Yep, just put the connect function outside your recursive loop. You can
then access the connection that is returned by the connect function by
making it global, or passing it by reference by the recursive function.
In other words:
$connection = mysql_connect();
mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
recursive_function($value);
function recursive_function($value)
{
global $connection;
$data = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
recursive_function($data);
}

Re: [PHP-DB] recursion in php and mysql
Yep, just put the connect function outside your recursive loop. You can
then access the connection that is returned by the connect function by
making it global, or passing it by reference by the recursive function.
In other words:
$connection = mysql_connect();
mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
recursive_function($value);
function recursive_function($value)
{
global $connection;
$data = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
recursive_function($data);
}
... or something.. you get the picture.

Re: [PHP-DB] indexing error - key length not specified
Perhaps I should of spoke more exactly. In MySQL 5.0 you can index these, but the maximum index length is limted by the storage engine. So you have to be specific as to how you index these columns. The deal is that with large column fields making an index of several thousand characters (for example) doesn't help you that much, the index gets as big as the field (comparatively) and the performance gains from having an index is marginal, as I understand it. (an expert is free to jump in at this point) So one might want to analyze why you're indexing this field at all. Perhaps something specialized like a fulltext index is more appropriate. Take a look at this page in the docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/indexes.html It explains it somewhat. You can as it mentions specify the index size which the db should take, but you'll be indexing a subset of the actual data with the col_name() style of statement. In my opinion, you might want to take a look at why you want to index such a large column, I don't see a reason myself unless it's something like a fulltext index. I hope that helps, -Micah On 02/09/2007 04:59 PM, John wrote: Micah, You can't use that column type as an index because it's variable length. Makes sense. Make it a varchar or something that's definite to index it. It is possible the value stored can reach up to about 2k characters, which is too long for a varchar type. Any recommendations as to what type to use that wouldn't be variable length, but be able to store strings/values of that size? Thanks!

You can do regular expression matching in MySQL and I think a few other

like you can do with PHP.. It just returns a boolean true/false

Re: [PHP-DB] Generating forms and form elements
Hi Mark, No problem! There as always are many ways to accomplish this, and this sounds like this will be largely an exercise in Javascript, but on the PHP/SQL side you'll just need to design a table where rows correspond to information that pertains to the whole form (username or ID, title, stuff like that) and then a second table that corresponds to form fields for the form, and are linked via an ID field. I do a similar thing for some shopping cart software that allows the administrator to build custom forms to collect information for particular items for sale. It works pretty well. Is there something in particular you're struggling with or does this help? The hard part I think will be associating the javascript drag/drop events with information storage in the database. This to me would work well with a small javascript routine that will upon dropping call XMLRequest to a server side script that will update the table immediatly. Then you don't have to mess with some grotesque hidden form madness to keep track of what the user wants. -Micah Mark Fellowes wrote: Micah, Thanks for the reply. I didn't see it earlier. Also my apologies for the vagueness but right now things are somewhat vauge. Let me try and explain better: To start I'll paint a visual to explain it better. Ultimately I know this will require additional tables (will get to that in a moment) When the page loads, there is going to be a palette area where form fields of various types will be sitting. They will not be in a form. The form will sit in another part of the page in it's own div. So to start the table all that should be generated into that palette area will be the form elements (selects, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc). I'm thinking php will be used to pull the markup out of the table and into the palette. Users can drag and drop form elements into the form. They can edit the elements in there (i.e. length of field, label name, required field, etc). At that point the chosen elements (the ones now in the form) should be pumped back into another table where a name column will save the form intact with all it's elements. Hope this gives a better idea of what Im trying to acheive. Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 4:01 PM -07:00 To: Mark Fellowes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Generating forms and form elements Hi Mark, That's pretty vague, there's probably 1000 ways to do this. Are you just intending to store the HTML in a text field, or generate the form fields based on data so that the user can edit the data? Are you storing just data in the database, or the form structure? Also if it's structure, do you intend on storing formatting information, or just the form fields themselves. If you sit down and draw up a detailed non-code plan, the solution would likely present itself. -Micah !DSPAM:4498548e259778165356420!

Re: [PHP-DB] Dynamic DataBinding in Form
Not quite sure what you're asking, but I think you mean, you want to
automatically fill customer with the concat'd values of FName and LName..
You can do this with PHP, but only once the form is submitted (remember,
PHP is server side) if you want to do it in the browser in front of the
user, you'll need some Javascript.. which is a bit off topic for this list.
The general idea though would be to set an onChange handler for the
FName and LName fields, and when it's triggered just update the other value:
document.getElementById('CUSTOMER').value =
document.getElementById('FName').value + ' ' +
document.getElementById('LName').value;
or something like that.

The PHP script would need to update the DB then open the mp3 and write the correct headers before returning it. In my example the PHP is not streaming the mp3 to the flash file, it's merely passing on a URL. I think you're really misunderstanding what I was attempting to say. So you don't need to open any mp3 in the php file, nor return any mp3 information. Although, now that you bring it up, that would be one way to do it, but I wouldn't because that would introduce a much larger system load. Just call the php, and then the php calls the SWF.

Just an update to the DB on each swf load is what it seems he wants. On Wednesday 08 March 2006 7:13 pm, Anthony Lee wrote: This question isn't really a PHP-DB thang is it? Anyway, it sounds like you have a lot of swfs on the page. One for each song, is that right? In that case your best bet would be something like what you already have: embed src='play.swf?ID=74...' i.e. push the variable into flash from the page that contains it. If you only have a small amount of info the swf needs you can just keep on with the theme ID=74URL=yourmama.comTITLE=YoMama etc. If you want to pull a lot more information from the DB after the page has loaded then you should take a look at PHPObject or AMFPHP.

Re: [PHP-DB] screen resolution!
Yes, there is. It's called HTML. You might think me daft, but HTML was actually created to allow the page to adapt to screen size. The oldest technology on the block is actually the thing to use in this situation, otherwise you're just creating extra work for yourself. A simple example: table width=800px - This works great, looks great, until you have a 640x480 screen. Instead, try this: table width=80% (this scales according to screen size) or table (this scales according to content size + screen size) It really sounds like this is a problem with your web page design, not php or Javascript. However, you could indeed do as others suggested and create multiple pages.. That really sounds like more work than it's worth though. -Micah On Monday 06 February 2006 1:38 am, JeRRy wrote: Yes I know this but there is no script that can re-write webpages on the fly for certain resolutions?

and you'll get a number back, 0 = false, 1 = true, and you can:

if (!$fieldname) {

Greetings:
I'm new to PHP, although I've been a programmer all my life. I had been
doing a bit of web database work with VB Script and ASP and mySQL, and then
decided to try PHP. I've run into a couple of things that bother me.
I have boolean fields (i.e. bit(1)) in the mySQL database. When I retrieve
data from the mySQL server into an array or an object, it seems as if all
the data fields are returned as characters. For most data types this does
not matter, since PHP will handle them properly. This an integer 46 being
retrieved as a character '46' is OK.
However, the boolean is a curse, as it comes back as a character containing
hex 00 or hex 01, and I have to use a test such as:
if (ord(IsAMember) == 0) ...
I can't just treat it as a boolean.
I have got around the problem by using a construct such as:
select if(IsAMember,1,0) as IsAMember
in the SQL select, but this is a bit of a pain.
Any thoughts?

Re: [PHP-DB] isset or ! isset what is my problem?
NULL != Not set.
isset() tests to see if the variable exists. If your variable has a null value
it is set, it DOES exist, it just has NULL for a value. You should test for a
null value if that's what you want:
if ($picture == null)
Or perhaps the empty() function might be what you're looking for.

Maybe 3 to start with, 3 permissions. A value or y or n will be set in each permission, with n being the default. Now I need to know how to output the permission out with some add php code. So let me explain: Three permissions lets say are perm_1 , perm_2 , and perm_3 If user bob has a y in perm_2 I want to output the perm_2 permission. Which lets say is to delete a dj account. So it needs to output some php code to work with the database. Is IF statements relevent/safe for this or is there a better method? So each user account on default will need to also check the values of the permission. So I need a code that checks for a y value in each permission. If none is found than nothing is displayed or a message saying you have no special permissions currently. But if one or more are met than those permissions are outputed to the relevant permission code. If you need any further information please let me know. All help mostly appreciated in advance.

Re: [PHP-DB] Sending multiple items via a single form field
You could just seperate the data in the field's value with a delimeter like | or something you wouldn't see in the data, then explode() based on that? What kind of field are you using?

Hopefully an easier to understand scenario: I have a form with - example - 5 items listed, each item from the DB and you select ONE item only out of the list, when you submit the form it sends the input from the field you select BUT I also need it to send an addition bit of info in the form of $id so that on the processing page, I can extract both the ID and the data entered from a single field. Obviously I can't use a hidden field for this so the data has to be tacked-on to the input field somehow?

I don't see what's more elegant about. They have a good point that you only

the advantage that it puts the processing load for that on the client

The second advantage is being more web standards compliant. Taking
presentation out of the markup (clean table structure instead of tr
attributes mess). But it's not the place for this (non-php) discussion,
I just wanted to show another solution. 'More elegant' is only my
opinion and I didn't want to offend anyone :)

Re: [PHP-DB] [PDO] Number of rows found by Select
Ick.. this is why I don't use OOP DBA libraries..
Uhm.. without spending a bit of time learning more about PDO, I'd be hard
pressed to answer this one. Why are you getting issues with asynchronous

Run it from the command line as the apache user. See if that makes a difference. I'd guess not though. Apache's php module doesn't really put any restrictions that I know of on the scripting.. that's a strange effect..

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and MSSQL on Linux
System commands are supposed to output errors on STERR, not on STOUT, php's system commands only grab STOUT so if there's an error you'll get no output.. You need to redirect STERR to STOUT when you issue the command.. Just put this at the end of your command: 21 Don't know if that's the issue, but it sounds like it. -Micah On Wednesday 02 November 2005 11:36 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I ran it as the apache user and it worked fine (from the command line).

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP MSSQL on Linux
Is it from php or the mssql driver? If it's from the driver, then the library is installed at least partially correctly. If it's from php, perhaps not. From there you can narrow it down by checking the connection parameters outside of php to make sure they're right, is there a mssql client for linux? If the driver is loading, I would hope it would give better error messages than just 'connection failed'.. but as I've never used the driver I might be wrong. You can also packet sniff the network during the connection attempt to see what goes on there, there's lots of clues that could be helpful in the packet stream. -Micah On Tuesday 01 November 2005 2:30 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A few months back I wrote the list asking for help making a connection to a MS SQL database from our linux webserver.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP MSSQL on Linux
Hmm.. if you're using a function like mssql_error or something like that, it's likely coming from the driver and not php.. Did you see this on the docs page? I have spent the last 2 days trying to get PHP to connect to MSDE on Windows 2003 Web Edition. Although initally PHP would connect to the database without a problem, it would then refuse to connect, hitting F5 enough times would eventually connect to the database. As you can imagine this intermittent problem was hard to trace. I was using PHP 5.0.5 (although 5.0.4 has the same problem) on a Windows 2003 Web Edition SP1 server, and was trying to connect to MSDE Rel A. Solution: ~ Firstly MSDE needed to be installed with the following arguments: SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0. Secondly it was necessary to delete ntwdblib.dll from c:\php Thirdly I downloaded the SQL 2000 evaluation and installed only the client tools on a seperate PC (Ent. Manager will now connect to the database). Lastly I copied the version of ntwdblib.dll from the PC with Ent. Manager on it (ver 2000.80.2039.0) to c:\windows\system32\ After a re-boot no more connection problems. Pls note that this is only for 2003 Web Edition with MSDE, this problem does not seem to occour with Standard Edition -Micah On Tuesday 01 November 2005 3:18 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The error I'm getting is from the PHP function. Both mssql_connect and PEAR are returning the same error. As far as I can tell, mssql only returns the last line of an error message so I can't be sure that the error I'm seeing is from MSSQL or PHP. Running TCPdump shows no traffic is going to my sql database from the webserver. But when I run tsql,it shows that communication occurred. This looks like a problem with my PHP configuration but I'm at a loss as to what it is. Robbert Micah Stevens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 11/01/2005, 11:55:52 PM: Is it from php or the mssql driver?
