Hi All
I don't think that's going to work. You need to have some mechanism
that can properly escape data values in case they contain stuff like
apostrophes.
Hi Paul
I am going to use perl to parse the log and then send it to the database as
another recommeded ( and probably better for my case ). However since I
need users to be able to query against the database for specific logs I
like to see use PHP for the web part. Therefore I am actually going
through your book, MySQL second edition, Chap 8 , PHP API. Now in here
you have the urls http://www.snake.net/ushl/index.php and
http://www.snake.net/gp/index.php (on page 488). But I can't access
those links. I get The requested URL /ushl/index.php was not found on
this server message. I can go to the main website though
www.snake.net is a real site, but for purposes of the book, it's intended
that you install the ushl and gp scripts on your own site and substitute
the appropriate URLs for those in the book. For example, if your site
is www.example.com and you install the scripts in directories named
asif/ushl and asif/gp, you would access them as:
http://www.example.com/asif/ushl/index.php
http://www.example.com/asif/gp/index.php
By the way, you may want to visit http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-cookbook
and grab a copy of the recipes distribution. In its apache/httpdlog
directory, you'll find a Perl script for reading Apache log entries and
inserting them into a MySQL table. That's not quite the same as what
you're doing, but the same principles of reading log entries, splitting
them up into column values, and making sure the values are escaped properly
still apply. So the httpdlog.pl script in that directory may be instructive.
