Subject: [PHP-DB] Determine last quarter
Hello all,
Does anyone know how I might determine the start date and end date of the
previous calendar quarter based on today's date. For example, today is
2002-03-19, so the previous quarter start date would return 2001-10-01 and
the previous quarter end date would return 2001-12-31. I am trying to
determine these dates for a report that generates previous quarter sales
based on today (whatever 'today' might be). Hope that's clear.
Thanks in advance,
Randy Rankin

[PHP-DB] Copy distinct results to new table
Hi there everyone,
How can I copy distinct results of a query to a table in a DB? I have 3 pulldowns,
the first one selects the category, then the second one gets the holiday type based on
the category, and the third one gets from countries where category = category AND
holiday type = holiday type. The problem is there is almost 30,000 entries which it
needs to sort through and it takes a few seconds for each pulldown to be calculated,
is there a better way than the below
Basically i'm guessing I can grab the results and then insert them into a seperate
table so that I only save the unique results and so don't have to sort once i've
created the new table?
Thanks for your help everyone,
Chris
(For the first pulldown):
form method=post action=#form1
form method=post action=#form1
div align=centerbfont face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2
color=#FF
?$result = mysql_query(select distinct category from search ORDER BY
category);?
select name=category onChange=submit()
? if ($category ==){
?
optionMake a Selection/option
?} else {
?
optionSelected /option
? }?
? if ($result)
{ while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ echo OPTION VALUE=\.$myrow[category].\.

[PHP-DB] Determine last quarter
If anyone is interested, this is what I finally came up with. I'm not sure
how graceful it is, but it works ;)
Here's another method... which can be condensed, but I left it expanded to
demonstrate what was going on. The trick is finding the first day of the
*next* month, and getting the previous day (
mktime(0,0,0,$start_month+3,0,$year) ), which is always the last day of the
previous month.
-Hank
?
$quarter = ceil(date('n')/3);
$last_quarter = ($quarter==1?4:$quarter-1);
$year =($last_quarter==4?date(Y)-1:date(Y));
$start_month = (($last_quarter-1)*3)+1;
$end_day = date(d,mktime(0,0,0,$start_month+3,0,$year));
echo Start Date:.date(Y-m-d,mktime(0,0,0,$start_month,1,$year)).\n;
echo End
Date:.date(Y-m-d,mktime(0,0,0,$start_month+2,$end_day,$year)).\n;

[PHP-DB] major performance disparities with mysql/php
Hello - I'm posted this to the mysql list but got no response. While it sounds like a mysql problem, I'm convinced that it is a PHP problem (see bottom of note.) I've recently installed mySQL on a RH7.2 box without any problems - it runs great. I've been testing some long running queries (full table scans, etc) under different scenarios, and get wildy differing results. Between each test case, I was flushing all tables and re-starting the mysql deamon. When I run one of my longest queries in the mysql command line client, it runs in about 77 seconds. When I run the identical query via a simple PHP script running on the box, the same query takes about 930 seconds to complete. For the life of me, I can not figure out why the identical query would run differently from the command line than from PHP. I've repeated this test about 10 times just to be sure - and it is entirely repeatable: command line - about a minute - PHP - about 16 times longer. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm running RH 7.2 (2.4.9-21) on a Dell Poweredge 2550, 1GB memory, RAID, with mysql version 3.23.41 (the standard install unchanged from the RH media). Here is the query...pretty simple: insert into summary_table select frb, denom, series, count(*) as cnt, sum(bills) as bills, sum(bills_hit) as bills_hit, sum(total_hits) as total_hits from detail_table If it a memory/cpu resource problem, how do I set RH to give PHP and Apache the same priority as the mysql deamon? I've also written a small Perl script to execute the same queries, and that runs in 70 seconds (same as mysql client), so there must be some memory/processor limitation placed on PHP that prevents it from running as quickly as these other methods.

How many tables ? do you have the script that generated the oracle tables and their relationships ? what about the triggers, views, foreign keys, ...

Chyfo can export data from any database accessible through the ODBC interface. It exports data into text files (CSV, TAB delimited, fixed length, SQL INSERT statements and XML are supported formats), generates native DDL (Data Definition Language) and import/load scripts for various databases.

Not sure if this is the right list for this, but I didn't see any others on the PHP web site that made sense...

I'm verifying the user's account information via LDAP and that seems to work ok, because I can bind and do a modify on the user's information. I'm updating a particular field to hold the sessionID and a time stamp. The record updates just fine, because I can do a ldapsearch from the command line on the server using the same credentials I use in PHP and I can see the update. I also have the server WIDE OPEN at the moment to test. I didn't want any stray ACL's to get in the way of debugging this. The problem arises when I try to read back all of the attributes within the PHP script. I can see only certain attributes: uid, mail, cn (the normal stuff) but if I try to read these fields that I want to use for the session, they don't print in PHP, but the show up from the LDAP command line util. The fields include: employeeNumber, carLicense, departmentNumber. Like I said earlier, I can update them from PHP, just can't read them back. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

[PHP-DB] Re: PHP4 LDAP
Just in case anyone was wondering, here's a bit more info. I'm not sure why some attributes show up the other way though: ? $baseDN = dc=mydomain,dc=com; $bindDN = uid=dumbuser,dc=mydomain,dc=com; $bindPass = mypass; $linkID = ldap_connect(ldapServer,ldapPort); if ($linkID) if (ldap_bind($linkID,$bindDN,$bindPass) == false) DO SOME ERROR PARSING $filter = uid=dumbuser; $search = ldap_search($linkID,$baseDN,$filter); $entry = ldap_first_entry($linkID,$search); #- ALL TOO IMPORTANT LINE $values = ldap_get_values($linkID,$entry,departmentNumber); for ($i = 0; $i $values[count]; $i++) print $i . : . $values[$i] . br\n; ldap_close($linkID); ? Now (for some reason I haven't figured out yet) if you don't do the ldap_first_entry() step, you cannot access all of the attribute values returned from the $search! You can test by commenting it out and changing the $values line to use the $search value as the second arg. I hope that helps someone. I could have used it for sure.
