Undeleting an entire Database?
Hey guys, Well, I was unable to find anything on Google and I don't expect to find a miracle... but I figured why not. On Sunday morning I was trying to delete a Table through PHPMyAdmin and well... I dropped the entire DB without backing it up before. Stupid mistake, I know. So, I'm using Fedora Core OS/Linux and I was wondering if there was any way to undelete this db? I lost about 350 new members on my site + all kinds of blogs, comments, messages, etc. Is there ANY way to get this info back? If not, It's not a huge deal... I suppose. I just wanted to see if anyone might know of any special ways to get some of the data back. Thanks! - Clint Lenard
Need help with a Basic Query.
Hey Guys, I was wondering if I could get some assistance with building a Simple Import Script using PHP and MySQL. Basically I'm trying to pull info out of one Table and Insert it into the other Table. Can anyone show me a simple example of this? I can figure out how to do the rest if I had a simple example.

Re: HTML in MySQL?
Hey Douglass, Curious about using Smarty (taking the Crash Course and bookmarked a couple of other tut's)... One of the advantages of using a DB to store the HTML Sites was the opportunity to give the user an automated Zip file of their site if they wanted to download it and create their own site (domain) with it at any time... can this be done with Smarty? Like I said - I've used Smarty before - but only through a program called Jamroom - and it's basically using their Variables for their program - and it was limited. So, my main concern is - if the User wanted to download their site and have their own copy to upload to another domain - would it be possible to do this? Sorry, my mind is tired along with my eyes... I guess I'm still not 100% sure how Smarty works! Thanks, Clint On 9/12/05, clint lenard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Douglass, thanks for the tips!

Re: HTML in MySQL?
Wow, thanks for all of the Information guys! I've learned alot and now I've
actually been doing more brain storming... I've been reading all of these
emails over and over - and they're helping me understand more!
What I'm trying to do is save User Sites in MySQL and use PHP to pull them
out through the Database using a Virtual Directory (if that's what it could
be called?) like: http://mysite,com/bob-in-germany or just
http://mysite,com/bobingermany/
There may be a ton of these sites as time moves on and I'm just trying to
make sure I learn as much as I can before I get a major problem on my
hands... I know it may be resource intensive - but it just seems to be
easier to delete unused sites through a DB rather than a File System I may
not have full control over?
Anyways, Thanks again guys! This is helping alot! anymore feedback would be
great!
- Clint
P.S. - Sorry Jasper for sending it to you and not the list... I'm new to
GMail :(

Please don't top-post. That is the perfect argument for not applying
nl2br() before saving the information in the database. It should be done
*when outputting* instead.
?php
$in = mysql_real_escape_string(This is br the \n input);
mysql_query(INSERT INTO my_table (my_field) VALUES ('$in'));
$array =mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query(SELECT my_field FROM my_table));
print(nl2br($array['my_field']));
?
works exactly as intended.
Oh, and I should mention you probably want to htmlspecialchars() that
data too, if you actually want to see the br and if you want to
protect from XSS attacks etc.

HTML in MySQL?

Re: HTML in MySQL?
Thanks Jasper for the info! This may sound stupid - but I just want to be sure... do I need to strip the slashes and special characters out and add them when they're called... or..? I'm just trying to get a clear picture of exactly what needs to be done with this particular job... thanks!

Of course -- HTML is just a string like any other. Just use a TEXT field of the appropriate size for the size of your HTML pages, and then store the HTML as a string in that field. Then retrieve it and output the string with PHP. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene Freelance web developer http://jasper.bryant-greene.name/ If you find my advice useful, please consider donating to a poor student!

Re: HTML in MySQL?
David and Jasper - thank you both! I will play around with this more now that you have explained my biggest questions!

If you're using PHP, you need to run mysql_real_escape_string() on any string data that is going into MySQL. This will handle escaping and special characters for you, and there is no need to unescape it when retrieving it from the DB.
