[PHP-DB] RE: Informix user wierdness
This is more an Informix question rather than a PHP question but
I hope someone can help
I've installed the Linux-SE version and CSDK of Informix from
informix.com and installation has gone fine including createing
the demo DB. I can also start 'dbaccess' and browse/query the
tables so the envvars seem fine.
However, when I endeavour to use the PHP functions, I get an
error in ifx_connect()
I constantly get the error:
E [SQLSTATE=IX 000 SQLCODE=-952]
User ()'s password is not correct for the database server.
Note how the username field is empty. What's the procedure for
'logging in' to the DB? I created the demo DB as a normal user
and I've read that the user auth stuff is done through the
operating system.
Using 'dbaccess' to try and connect to the DB as the same user
rather then starting dbaccess in the DB dir causes the same error
to occur so it's obviously something in the setup.
My sqlhosts line is 'demo_se seipcpipdev sqlexec'
and the ifx_connect line is 'ifx_connect("stores7@demo_se",
"testuser", "mypasswd")'
Answered my own question after taking some time out ;). Here's what I found
for the sake of the archives.
Turns out Informix has some sort of PAM/shadow password problem which means
it won't talk nicely because it tries to auth the user, but because of the
bug it can't get the user and therein lies the problem.
Luckily I'm on a dev box so I was able to run 'pwunconv' to return my passwd
file to a non shadow state which in a production system is 'not a good
thing'(tm)
A search in comp.databases.informix on google/deja on shadow and PAM etc
will reveal the problem. Apparently there are workarounds for this but I
haven't found the, yet. I suspect they will require surgery to something
important :)
Cheers,
Graeme

Re: [PHP-DB] metabase support
Hello Dean, On 01-Apr-01 06:38:32, you wrote: I just want to make sure that I'm understanding what metabase supports. It does not support: - references - primary keys Does anyone find that this prevents you from using metabase? Or do you find that you have to hack your way around these deficiencies? You can live perfectly well without both. In practice primary keys are not much more than declaring a unique index on the key fields. References or foreign keys have a role of assuring database integrity. This means that if you update your database tables and not assure that specified references exist consistently, the DBMS will fail on those updates. It's not like it will avoid your application bugs, but at least if your application has a bug that would break the database integrity, well placed references/foreign keys will prevent that to happen. Your application will just stop working until you fix the bugs. I use MySQL most of the time, so I've learned to design without explicit references, but I'd like to have the opportunity to at least specify references in the schema definition (which MySQL allows but doesn't do anything with). It seems that with a DBMS-independent abstraction layer like metabase something like this should be supported. Support for primary/foreign keys is in my to do list. It just did not become a priority because there are other things more important to add like BLOBs. Metabase is about to go Open Source. I am just waiting to finish a great design tool before I announce when Metabase will be open for other developers to contribute with work that I can't do right away. Anyway, that should not stop you from using Metabase as it is. Metabase is the only PHP database abstraction package that does schema management. You can live without schema management, but it provides great schema maintenance aid. When support for primary/foreign keys is added explicitly you will be able to upgrade your schemas without worry. So, you can use Metabase with schema management as it is now. Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.

"Limit" is how it's commonly done (though what's "best" really depends on
what you're doing). In mysql, it would be something like:
mysql_query("select foo from bar limit 5,10",$connect) //show ten records

Whether you link to an external stylesheet, embed a style block or
declare the styles in-line is a matter for author management of the
CSS property declarations. The use of includes or scripting the
actual link, block or inline styling in the document does not matter a
wit.
Importantly, if the styling is included, the interpretation is still
done by the client browser. Whether includes or in-document coding
are used, the restrictions and bugs and failure to parse, where
invalid markup or styling is involved, still apply.
What I do notice, however, with some Nav4x browsers, that escaping the
quotes on class names in printf() causes these browsers to sometimes
escape the whole class declaration.
eg.
printf('tr
td class=\'id\' align=\'right\'%s/td
td class=\'lname\'%s/td
td class=\'fname\'%s/td
td class=\'logon\'%s/td
td class=\'logoff\'%s/td
/tr
', $myrow['id'], $myrow['lname'], $myrow['fname'],$myrow['logon'],
$myrow['logoff']);
The solution for some documents is to write as such
td class=id align=right%s/td
How this will affect xml documents I am not sure
Also with tables, if the data is being extracted from a database, as
above, and the data in a particular field row is null, the td cell
styling background will collapse with Nav4x browsers. This might be
solved by a conditional statement inserting some content where the
database row/field content is null, or constructing the database table
with pseudo content, such as nbsp; as the default for fields likely
to have null content.
Sorry, but my experience is that oranges are oranges and apples and
apples are apples. Nice thought! but I do not think you can get out
of browser non-compliance by using PHP.

Re: [PHP-DB] retrieving images
Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve and output all the binary images in my images table.
This is what I have,
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images",$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// display list if there are records to display
do {
$filetype = ($myrow["filetype"]);
header("Content-type: $filetype");
echo $myrow["binary_junk"]."br\n";
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
// no records to display
echo "Sorry, no records were found!";
When I run this, it only returns the first image in the table. Have really
know idea where to go from here. Is one image all that can be done?
Ok.. some information for you, as you seem to mis-understand some things
here...
A web-browser can handle certain pices of information being thrown down it's
gullett.. The Content-type: is what determines this.
If you start by throwing it an image/gif, then it will expenct a gif to come
down. If you start throwing "BR"'s down, it will not only corrupt the
image, but not do anything remotely related to HTML.
Basically what you need to do is to set up a second PHP routine which grabs
the binary data from the dataqbase and displays it, using IMG tags.
The first routine just sets up the IMG tags pointing to the second..
I've got an example of the code required to do something like this if you
want to take a look.. (http://elfgrove.virtual.net.au/~bekar/test.phps)
hope this helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP on WIN32 with DB2 CLI
Actually, CLI is almost function-for-function the same as ODBC. The PHP implementation of ODBC is quite a simplified version, but it covers most of the basic function. Chris, what is it that you are trying to do, specifically? Dan Phil Jackson wrote: Chris - I think to use DB2's CLI interface, you need a compiled langauge, like some flavor of C++ or VB.

I've not seen the limit function, but it sounds quite uselfull. Whatever method,
you could
pass the first or last keys related to the current page and an indication as to
whether you

one file,
self-referential-like, as the "arrows" would somehow comprise a form.
