[PHP-DB] RE: New with MySQL 3.23: Commands out of sync error
I just started running MySQL 3.23.37 with php-4.0.5. Anyway, I am randomly getting this same problem. Probably 90% of the time I don't encounter a problem, but the other 10% I get the Commands out of sync error. I never got it before upgrading MySQL. Any suggestions out there? Maybe in the meantime I should revert to an older version of MySQL. Perhaps I should use mysql_free_result() in between any calls, but that seems to be excessive. I'll give it a try in the meantime, but would love to hear any advice or comments.

[PHP-DB] The Dreaded Oracle 8 TNS:ORA-12154 Connection Error
I am running PHP 4.0.4pl1 in CGI mode on Windows NT4 SP6, using Apache or IIS Web Server's. I am concentrating on Apache for this problem as it is identical irrespective of the Web Server. I'm using one of the simplest possible connection mechanisms ... if ($conn=Ora_Logon("user@mydatabase","pass")) { echo "SUCCESS ! Connected to database\n"; Ora_Logoff($conn); } else { echo "Failed :-( Could not connect to database\n"; } This works fine if PHP is run as an apache module but fails with the message "Warning: Oracle: Connection Failed: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\ora.php on line 10" When Apache is re-configured to run PHP as CGI (other html on the same page suce as phpinfo() shows up just fine). At first I thought the Apache user may have been affecting privileges but the Apache "User" option doesn't work under Windows & I even tried running Apache as a service using the Administrator account - no change. Have tried environment paths to ORACLE_HOME, TNS_PATH etc. etc. etc. all to no avail. We use sqlnet.ora with an oracle name server. I have to use CGI as PHP4 isn't to production level for use as a Filter with IIS & corporate policy dictates that I must prove PHP against ASP on the existing IIS server before I can even attempt using Apache. I would greatly appreciate any construction :-) advise anyone can offer.

There is such a function as "mysql" whose arguments are mysql("database","query",[resource id]) very useful as it avoids having to call mysql_connect_db() As for printing the query, I had done that, and everything was fine. I have however, found the problem! (sorry about the waste of bandwidth, but maybe someone will avoid making the same mistake). The problem was not related to variable scope, but rather because the variable "1234" had some HTML formatting added to it somewhere in the script. The problem, evidently, is that echoing the variable didn't show the html formatting (it was something like "" in an obvious way! I wish there were a php debugger.

RE: [PHP-DB] Connection to AS/400.
Thanks Stefan :) Nicolas, ODBC does indeed exist for Linux - to use it with PHP you need to build PHP with an ODBC Driver Manager, such as iODBC. A HOWTO for this is available at the www.iodbc.org site. You still need a driver for PHP to use with the Driver Manager, however, and there is not currently an ODBC driver that will talk to AS/400 directly. As a work around, you can use OpenLink's Multi-Tier ODBC driver on the Linux box to talk to DB2 Connect, e.g. install Multi-Tier drivers with client and server component both on the Linux box, install DB2 Connect on the same Linux box and configure a service to the AS/400, and then configure your ODBC DSN to with the existing DB2 Connect service name in the Database name field. Our Multi-Tier drivers are available for free download at http://www.openlinksw.com. They do not expire and come with a free 2 user connection. Also, free support is available at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm if you run into problems. Hope this helps!

[PHP-DB] php 4 + Oracle 8 + FreeBSD w/ Linux Emulation
We're looking into getting PHP under FreeBSD (4.3) to talk to a remote Oracle server that runs on NT. In the past we have used OpenLink, but we'd rather not touch anything on the NT side.

[PHP-DB] Download files extracted from db using Internet Exploded
Hi, When using Internet Exploded to download files from a website which extracts an file from a mysql db I encounter a weird problem. How I do this is simple, I use an href link that looks something like this, downloadcontent.php?PHPSESSID=33f8022176ba48bb8f4421d59d1792a6&attachment_ai d=3 The following php code should extract a particular attachment from the db, in this case, attachment_aid 3 and let the user either open or save it. Problem is, SCENARIO 1: User click on link User click on save RESULT: Internet Explorer tries to save the page which contained the html href link SCENARIO 2: User click on open (A new save/open dialog appears) User clicks on save RESULT: Internet explorer saves the file with it's correct filename SCENARIO 3: User clicks on open (A new save/open dialog appears) User clicks on open RESULT: File is correctly opened Now, it seems like Internet Explorer really wants me to click open once before actually choosing either to open or save it.. Does anyone know how to solve this problem, I don't want the users to have to figure out this "workaround" by themselves... // Mattias -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP-DB] dynamic form inputs and updating

UPDATES the FILENAME column I am trying to insert the filename of the pictures that correspond to each TITLE. I think that i need to use some sort of loop and also somehow tie the ID to each input so that the UPDATE executes correctly. thanks much, olinux Here's some of my code.
