[PHP-DB] DB formatting question
Hi there everyone, I’m converting a video website from CGI to use Databases and they want me to keep their existing layout. However, I have a slight formatting problem. I’m using PHP with MySQL and what I have is this: Each page displays 6 videos, 2 are on the first row (Which has 3 columns with the 2nd one being a hardcoded flash video) so the first 2 videos go on the left and on the right, then below that is another row with 4 columns which have to display the other 4 videos. How can I format the table so that when the MySQL data is read in the loop, it displays the data like this? I can display it down the page no problem, but it needs to be 3 columns across on 1 row with the middle column not having any MySQL data and the 2nd row needs to have 4 videos, 1 in each of the 4 columns. Does that make sense? Chris -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.16/83 - Release Date: 8/26/2005

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: maximum number of records in a db?
And I agree. I haven't asked many questions myself but have seen the responses from some people. I think you have to think that they have looked and this IS their last resort. I've found when doing searches on the web that I get presented with 5000 pages of un relevant stuff. Remember when you couldn't use a mouse???

RE: [PHP-DB] maximum number of records in a db?
It kinda depends on the load placed on the db. Large chunks of data in the db (like images or other files like video, pdf etc) can slow the system down. There are many databases running with over 50Million rows of data in a table. But at a certain level, its as much hardware and network dependant as its language and db dependant. bastien From: Jordan Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] maximum number of records in a db?

like i said, billions are possible, but it becomes more of hardware issue, disk space, network availability etc bastien From: Jordan Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Miles Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] maximum number of records in a db?

Here's the matching answer: The number of records any database can hold matches the length of a piece of string. Seriously - do some homework, visit the host sites and read the specs.

Re: [PHP-DB] maximum number of records in a db?
he said number of records MT not number of charactors. So no need to stick his head on a pike just yet ;) But to answer your question jordan... the idea is that you probably wont run out of rows. 32 bits allow integers to go to some number like 2,147,483,647, and i spose that would be the max. 64 bit processors up that max integer number...

[PHP-DB] Get away from eval()
Greetings, all.
Thanks to those who fielded my sql injection question yesterday. Enormously
helpful.
On to eval().
I've got a PHP 4.3.xx and a MySQL 4.xx (sometimes 3.2xx) database that is the
basis of a CMS. The story field of the content table sometimes holds PHP code
that needs to be executed when it's called. Mostly simple forms, some includes,
and the like.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to execute that code without using
an eval() statement, and I'd like to avoid using eval() for security and
overhead reasons.
A sample looks like this:
$query="SELECT * FROM $database.$stories where id='$sid';";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$numberofresults=mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i=0; $i<$numberofresults; $i++)
{
$row=mysql_fetch_array ($result);
$body=($row['storycontent']);
echo ("".ucwords($hl)."");}
eval($body=$body);
This works, and the scripts execute. But there's always room for improvement.
I've read about using output buffers, but can't understand quite how that
works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
