A number of the settings in php.ini can be set/altered from  within your 
script. Check out ini_set() and friends.

[PHP-DB] Optimizing mail()

2002-01-14 Thread olinux

Just came across this post and wondered if anyone has
done this - if so can you share some code?

The idea is to order emails by the mailservers

Would you just order the emails by domain name? [that
would group all aol.com, msn.com, yahoo.com emails]

Thanks,

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with mail function

2002-01-14 Thread olinux

Is there a solution to this if you do not have edit
access to the php.ini file? [ie. a shared server]

I found this function that seems to be a solution.
What would the proper use be?
ignore_user_abort(TRUE); ???

[PHP-DB] Help! SQL 2000 and cursors

2002-01-14 Thread Patrick Brown

I've been running a PHP4 script on a Linux server every day for quite a
while now. All of a sudden, it stops working. The error message is:

[ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The cursor was not declared.

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Nothing has changed as far as I
know. Nobody else has access.

Here is the SQL statement that generates the error:

$sql = "SELECT acctid, invoicedate, paiddate, annualdate, reminder, memtype
FROM tblAccounting WHERE InvoiceDate = '" . $filterdate . "') AND (reminder
< 3) AND (PaidDate IS NULL OR PaidDate <= '" . $filteryear . "') ORDER BY
acctid";

The server is a Redhat Linux server with PHP compiled standalone. It gets to
the SQL Server via the Easysoft OOB software.

Thanks,
Pat

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with mail function

Hi, Faye.  There's a parm in the configuration file (php.ini) cleverly
called "max_execution_time".  Its default setting is 30.  There's also a
"set_time_limit()" function that allows massaging this variable.

Does this help?

Hello,

I'm running a select-query and getting this warning:

Warning: Unable to jump to row 100 on MySQL result index 2

I know the reason for the warning, but what exactly does this number two mean?

The query is in een for-loop and the resultnumber rises by 2.

People, people!

I wish we could all just get along. ;^)

I did have a problem understanding the exact question. My response was a little 
off-target owing to ambiguity.
Also, I did read (or participate in) the other threads mentioned by Mr. Neil, (aka "Mr

If you get a lot of responses you might consider writing up 
something nice which someone might put in a FAQ (although it 
may be dated).

Would, by chance, you want telnet access to your server? I could 
not imagine any other way. You can write cron jobs to restart your 
database if it goes down, etc. I began using a company called 
iserver.com way back in 1995 and I've been using them ever since, 
even after they were bought by Verio.  The only way you can get 
more control is by having a dedicated box.  Pricing starts at 
US$55.00 a month and up but you might try one of their resellers. I 
worked for Summit Communications 
(http://www.summitdesign.net/) and they give me a discount from 
the retail price. Details on what you get are here:

http://www.viaverio.com/products/vps.cfm

I've heard there is a linux package which provides the same sort of 
"sandbox" environment but I don't know anyone selling it. I've seen 
hordes of hosting where they expect me to talk to my database 
from a script ... never, I like to pipe commands and just work in the 
client from time to time.

I was going to respond to you but I didn't have a good answer.  :)

I don't know of any built in PHP functions that do what you are looking to
do.  There are some special fgets-type functions for use with CSV, but
nothing that treats it as SQL.

You might want to try the PEAR repository to see if they have anything, but
I'm not hopeful.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Perl DBI::CSV module
allows you to use a CSV file as a simple SQL database.  Very nice if you
don't have a real database to work with (which in this case, Mr. Barton
doesn't).

I was at a workshop by Randal Schwartz where he showed a bit of how to use
it.  Very cool...

If you can't get the clients to go for the extra cost, I'd recommend going
with Perl.  Choose the best tool for the job at hand, TMTOWTDI.

In another thread there's a comment about "newbie bashing", the author now gets to see 
that there are always two
sides to a story!

Christopher: I notice that you have found it necessary to explain your rationale for 
"They do not want to pay
the extra amount of money for a MySQL database". The fact that you felt it necessary 
to expand on your earlier
statement illustrates an ambiguity/short-coming in the original. You were responsible 
for that. How did Daniel
qualify for the blame?

I also notice that you have not had the courtesy to comment on my own response to your 
first post, and the other
confusing statement/ambiguity "A lot of my work is on unix system that people want to 
work with Access." The
implication behind your post was that you only received responses concerned with the 
cost of MySQL. This is not
true. You do however say "None the answers had anything to do with the question I 
asked" which indicates you
either didn't read what I said, or failed to understand it.

It is not fun to spend time attempting to help someone, and then find that not only 
were your comments a waste

I made this change:

if (!isset($submit)): 
$sql = "select news_id, bulletin_subject from dbulletins";
elseif (isset($submit)):
$sql = "delete from dbulletins where news_id = '$newsid'";
endif; 

but still get the same error. Shouldn't this fix the problem so now it 
will
return the database list because the submit button is not pushed (on 
returning
to the page)?

In my previous email, I mentioned that http://www.nomonthlyfees.com provided
500 megs of disk space per account.  I host several a domains by redirecting
domains (5) to sub-directories within that 500.  I don't have a 500-meg

Re: [PHP-DB] ADDING DATES

2002-01-14 Thread Daniel Barton

People, people:
In general, I do agree, that when a post starts with " ... but i am getting lazy"
I find it a little lazy. Well, it even claims to be lazy.
However, there have been a bunch of instances of newbie-attacks on this list
lately, and if that's the type of environment this is going to end up creating, I
might as well unsubscribe right now. I generally try to ignore messages that make me
"get a bit peeved," not lash out at the people who write them. There have been a few
instances where I posted a meaningful question, and no one took the time to answer.
Perhaps because we're too busy responding (negatively or positively) to simpler
questions, or maybe because Mercury was in retrograde. Made me figure it out myself
(which is an excellent thing.)
But yes, not only RTFM, download a copy of it. Wallpaper your house with it. Burn
it on CD and distribute it to your friends. Sell it on the street for $1 (or euro).
Make a php site mirror in your closet. Read the last 5 messages on the list that have
"date" in the title. Type "php adding dates" into google. Sell guns to third-world
countries to finance your php-support-question habit, and pay Zend and MySQL AB to
answer your questions. Read Julie Meloni articles when you're on the can. Sit on the
beach and ponder more efficient ways to addslashes() and stripslashes() using
functions. There's tons of resources out there.

my two cents.

First, if "$submit" is not set, then the "delete" statement will be
executed.  This will not return an array upon which mysql_fetch_array() will

RE: [PHP-DB] any good web hosting with php and mysql support?

2002-01-14 Thread Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS)

I use FGDesigner.com.  They have proven to be quite reliable and have a wide
range of plans available based on what you would need.  You can check out
the website.  My husband and I have been hosting our site through them for a
couple of years and never had any problems.  I also know that they have PHP
support because I was asking about it recently.  I am pretty sure that they
have MySQL support too - I can't be positive because I don't use MySQL.

Good luck finding someone!

[PHP-DB] RE: LIMIT and get_num_rows

2002-01-14 Thread pwestergaard

I just realized, I think that indices may not avail you when you're doing a search 
based on double-sided wildcards.  

I'm afraid you may be forcing a full table-scan by performing that kind of search.

So run a few benchmark tests.  Maybe populate a test database with a large volume 
(like 100,000 rows or more) so you'll notice performance differences, and then run a 
few tests. 

Cheers,
-Peter

  Hi All,
 I am currently looking for a reliable web host to host my personal website.
I know there are millions of web hosting companies that have PHP and MYSQL
support but I just can't trust any of the fully-assured and confident
webhosting ads anymore. I would like to get a service from a company for
which someone can vouch.
  I did started hosting my web site at a webhoster that promised 99.99%
uptime and my site is hardly ever up and running. They don't answer my
emails either.
 IS there anyone who have web sites hosted at webhosting service for a
reasonably long time without any problems? IF yes, can you please contact me
and tell me about it? This might be kind of off-topic for both lists, and i
apologize to both lists, so you might want to reply to my email rather than
sending it to list(s).
  Thank you very much.

[PHP-DB] Problem with mail function

Hi there...

I have a problem mailing out approx. 180 emails (no attachments) using the
mail() php function.  I loop through the email table once, sending the email
to everyone in the list.

The problem is that my page seems to time out when I send the emails, and it
refreshes itself.  So if I don't manually stop the browser after say, 10
seconds, the recipients in the email table get the email more than one time.

Maybe I shouldn't be trying to send that many emails at a time. I am on
apache using mysql and php...

[PHP-DB] WebMail

Hi, I'm looking for a good web based email client (preferably easy to setup and done 
in PHP of course). We have a sendmail server that works great. I'm not sure how the 
webmail systems work though. Can I use a different Apache server or do I have to setup 
the PHP webmail on the actual mail server?

I guess I have 2 questions, what's a good webmail program, and 2nd what's the basic 
setup of this all?

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

2002-01-14 Thread George Pitcher

Sam,

Thanks, I got the mysql_insert_id() tip a few seconds earlier.

However, my alternative method (which I will now drop in the interests of
efficiency) is perfectly safe.

It is impossible for the same user to go and create another record in that
verys small interim period between the two queries. That was why the WHERE
user='$user' was there.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

2002-01-14 Thread Sam Masiello


That actually isn't a safe way to do it.  Consider the following scenario:

Insert A occurs generating row Y in your table.
Insert B occurs generating row Z in your table.
select occurs (after insert A) to grab last ID inserted...your result is the
ID from row Z.
select occurs (after insert B), and your result again is the result ID from
row Z.

So, in both cases you will get the ID from insert B, instead of your
intended result (first select gives the ID from row Y and the second from
row Z).

You didn't mention which database engine that you are using, so I will
assume you are using MySQL.  There is a function called mysql_insert_id()
that will give you the answer that you are looking for.  You can find more
information about it here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php

RE: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

straight after you do the insert command, use the call:
$ID = mysql_insert_id();

The $ID is now the primary key for the record you just inserted.

I am sorry, I was not clear in my original request.

The id is auto-incremented. I want to grab the id so that I can use it as
part of a redirect


 $q2="select Course_ID from course where HEI_ID = '$inst' order by Course_ID
desc limit 0,1";
 $result2=mysql_query($q2) or die("q2 failed");
 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result2))
 {
 $recid=$row['Course_ID'];
 }
 $redirect=('Location: http://localhost/Mysite/itemlist.php?recid=' .
$recid);
 header($redirect);

As I said, it works but maybe there's a better way.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

2002-01-14 Thread George Pitcher

I am sorry, I was not clear in my original request.

The id is auto-incremented. I want to grab the id so that I can use it as
part of a redirect


 $q2="select Course_ID from course where HEI_ID = '$inst' order by Course_ID
desc limit 0,1";
 $result2=mysql_query($q2) or die("q2 failed");
 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result2))
 {
 $recid=$row['Course_ID'];
 }
 $redirect=('Location: http://localhost/Mysite/itemlist.php?recid=' .
$recid);
 header($redirect);

As I said, it works but maybe there's a better way.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

2002-01-14 Thread Ireneusz Piasecki

Hi.
What about Auto_increemnt field ??
Your's id can be auto_increment field. for example:
create table dupencja (id int(7) auto_increment not null, primary key(id));

so when you insert records:
insert into dupencja values('') - > id will be 1
insert into dupencja values('') - > id will be 2

this is auto_increment, so your trick isn't need.

More in manula of mysql.

[PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record

2002-01-14 Thread George Pitcher

Hi,

Is there a way to grab the ID (from ID field) while INSERTing a new record?

I am currently doing a separate INSERT then a SELECT query to find the most
recently added record by that user:

select ID from table where user = '$user' order by ID DESC limit 0,1

This does the trick but it may not be the most efficient way.

George

I absolutely think it will not.

After all, the table record count should be able to reference the index, 
(you are running this query against an indexed 'Keywords' column yes?), 
while assembling the table of returned data will take quite a bit more 
memory, which is what you're really trying to cut down, I think.

[PHP-DB] What is REG_BADRPT, and why do I get it?

2002-01-14 Thread Markus Lervik


Hello!

I have quite a weird problem. When I use ereg or ereg_replace
I get a REG_BADRPT warning, like so : 

Warning: REG_BADRPT in /var/www/html/mag/search.php on line 35
Warning: REG_BADRPT in /var/www/html/mag/search.php on line 36

The offending lines are

if(ereg("*",$search_name)) { ereg_replace("*","%",$search_name); }
if(ereg("?",$search_name)) { ereg_replace("?","_",$search_name); }

but just two lines above them I have

if(ereg("*",$search_id)) { ereg_replace("*","%",$search_id); }
if(ereg("?",$search_id)) { ereg_replace("?","_",$search_id); }

and two similar lines of code below them, yet PHP doesn't complain 
about them. Anyone have any ideas as to what's causing the warning?


Cheers,
Markus

I haven't run this on Unix myself, but I think this answer might be 
useful.  Someone please correct me if I'm out to lunch.

Check which user account is actually running the PHP process (or the Apache 
process if it's not the CGI).  Then ensure that it (the PHP user) has the 
rights to create files in the specified directory.

Be careful here though, because you will be giving malicious visitors more 
tools to work with.

Can you post some of the code from your index.php?
Have you installed it all correctly, ie placed index.php in your document

[PHP-DB] MySQL/Gemini now free - any feedback??

2002-01-14 Thread Geoff Caplan

Hi

Just noticed that NuSphere are now including the Gemini table type in their
free binary download. It seems that everything is there, apart from the
online backup, which is only available in the commercial version.

I need transactions, and took a look at InnoDB. But it seems to have some
pretty serious drawbacks, such as fixed table sizes, not being able to
provide cardinality info to count(*), a manual that assumes you have a PHD
in database application programming etc.

The Gemini table is based on an enterprise proven Progress embedded database
engine, and would seem the way to go. Has anyone got practical experience of
deploying it on Linux? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] Combining INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO

2002-01-14 Thread Miles Thompson


Markus,

Off hand, I don't know. Just try it -- you're not really going to break 
anything and may come up with something we can all use.

About 12 years ago I was working for a sewer and water contractor, which 
built a number of "interesting" projects. Before starting with them I 
assumed they just knew how to build them. I was wrong. If they only built 
what they knew their business would have shrivelled and died.

They grew by building what many other contractors considered undoable, and 
got premium prices. When I struck out on my own that was the lesson I took 
with me. And it's a tough one, because I generally like to know how things 
will turn out before I finish. Several years ago I was 30% of the way into 
a project in VB when it became very clear that for what I wanted to do VB 
just didn't have the capabilities. So it was back to FoxPro for Windows and 
successful completion. Fortunately the client was understanding.

So, it's a good question. But sometimes we just have to try these things. 
If Rasmus et. al. hadn't we wouldn't have PHP today.

Cheers, and please let us know how it works out - Miles

One potential problem (or feature, depending on which way you look at it!)  
is that refreshing/reloading a page will jump to the next or previous page 
depending on which action was last performed.

The way around this is to pass a position variable indicating which page of 
results to view, rather than an 'action' variable.

Matt,

Here's how I did the "20 results per page". Messy, I know, but
it was the only way I figured out how to do it.

$query="SELECT * FROM table";

$result=mysql_query($query,$database);
$nr=mysql_num_rows($result);
/* Here you can slap in a check for how many results
you want, ie:
 */
if($nr>200) {
die("Bitch,whine and moan!");
}
$nr_pages=(ceil($nr/20));

Or, you could, in the first SELECT statement put in a
LIMIT 200, I suppose that would work, too.
I'd have to dig into this myself too, as my database will
have a tad over 100 000 records when it's done.


Then I have two buttons, prev & next that's got a little
javascript slapped on them;



etc.

Then, in nav.php:

if($go=="next") {
if($page < $nr_pages && $page >= 0) {
 $page++;
 $with= (($page) * 20).",";
 $what = (($page-1) * 20).",";
 $query=ereg_replace($what,$with,$query);
}
}

if($go=="prev") {
if($page>=1 && $page <= $nr_pages) {
$page--;
$with = (($page) * 20).",";
$what  = (($page+1) * 20).",";
$query=ereg_replace($what,$with,$query);
}
}

$result=mysql_query($query,$database)
print_table(); //processes the query


If you got any questions regarding my code,
please do drop me a mail.


Cheers,
Markus

Possibly, I don't know. BUT if query returns 8000 records as opposed to 20, 
then it definitely uses up a bit more memory. This may be an issue if you 
have loads of such queries happening simultaneously.

but presumably if i'm doing a SELECT count(*) FROM Designs WHERE Keywords
LIKE "%sport%"
followed by a SELECT * FROM Designs WHERE Keywords LIKE "%sport%" LIMIT 0,20
 
it's still using nearly as much processing time as just returning all the
designs and just using a get_num_rows and then only using the first 20?

First do a SELECT count(*) from tablename; 
This will get the number of entries... 

The rest should be simple...

[PHP-DB] Combining INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO

2002-01-14 Thread Markus Lervik

Hello!

It's me again, with the magazine database : )

Is there any way to combine INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO so
one could insert a new row with a few values inserted by hand and others
from another table? something like

INSERT INTO mag_table (mag_id,issn,year,info,volume,numbers,remarks) 
VALUES  ( (SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE mag_names.name="Asdf"),
"1234-5678","2001","foobar","1-4","1-52","foobar");

I'm trying to construct myself a nice clever INSERT statement to my
web-frontend. Haven't got it to work, though. Is this even possible?
The other option would be to use three(?) mysql_query calls from my PHP-code,
but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

Cheers,
Markus

[PHP-DB] LIMIT and get_num_rows

2002-01-14 Thread matt stewart

hi guys, just looking for verification on this, as i don't think there's any
way to do it

Basically, i want to return the results for a search, but only return the
first 20 results from the start number given
LIMIT $start, 20
BUT... i'd like to have a page 1-whatever so if there are 65 results in
total, then the first 20 will be shown, but there will be options to move to
pages 2,3 or 4.
Obviously, if i use LIMIT, then it won't know that there are 65 in total, so
how would i get around this? do i just have to do the full query, and then
only use the first 20 results in the results set?
just becomes a bit of a problem if there are, say, 8000 results returned!
would it just be best to return the first 200 using LIMIT, and do my pages
for those, with a note that there are more than 200 results, and to refine
the search criteria?

  Matt

=When you next change jobs will you be keen to accept a company car that has one wheel 
permanently removed, has
no doors, and is pulling a U-Haul filled with lead bars and raw sewage, topped off 
with a flag saying "We are
the greatest!" ?

=Is the outlined task a primary focus of PHP? PHP is renowned for its web orientation 
(output is HTML), and
support of databases to build/run dynamic web sites. Ironically 'dumbing it down' to 
"simpler stuff[sic]", like
removing the fourth wheel from a car, is likely to give you a very stunted/skewed view 
of the package.

=Yes PHP has a library of flat file routines, if you insist on using them. MySQL has 
the capability to LOAD .csv
DATA if that is the specified transfer medium, and would offer full RDBMS speed and 
dynamism.

=Where do the lead bars etc fit in? You mention Unix systems and the Access package, 
plus CSV file exports. In
such an incompatible environment you are hobbling the development project before you 
start. Again with the
result that any system produced will not be representative of what PHP can do.

=PHP users talk of "LAMPS" and the PHP Triad (the former is well explained by O'Reilly 
(the publishers) and
Google will supplement my faded memory for a source on the latter). LAMPS is Linux, 
Apache (web server), MySQL
(RDBMS), and PHP. The PHP 'Triad' is the last of those three conveniently packaged 
together for
download/installation. So from this you can take it that PHP was designed to/will work 
well in any combination
of these.

=In your example, I fail to perceive success in a Unix-Access combination, but presume 
you know more than I. The
PHP-MySQL combination is proven, and operates at a far more 'industrial scale' than 
Access (more comparable to
MS SQL-Server). In a standard commercial environment I cannot think of a particular 
service that MySQL under PHP
control cannot provide, that Access can - but many pragmatic reasons not to use Access.

=You mention "extra money". This may or may not be the case. If it were a comparison 
between buying Access or
buying MySQL then it would be wrong, but if they have already paid for Access then you 
may be correct. By and
large, MySQL is 'free' but MySQL AB will charge for a support contract - but you must 
check your application
against the license terms! You also ask about 'sources'. The best place to start, both 
to review the licensing
and to find links to online sources is the MySQL AB web site.

=Get rid of the "we are the greatest" flag, and choose the right tool for the job - or 
leave the challenge of
starting on a PHP/MySQL career until it/they are the 'right' tool/best mix for the 
client-constraints of your
application!

Re: [PHP-DB] convert yyyy/mm/dd to mm/dd/yyyy, how?

2002-01-14 Thread George Pitcher

Sander,

I'm also in Europe but here in the UK we prefer dd/mm/ and I've cobbled
together a couple of functions to handle this for me.

function dbdate($input)
{
 $today = explode("-",$input);
 $month = $today[1];
 $day = $today[2];
 $year = $today[0];
 $p_date = $day . "/" . $month . "/" . $year ;
 return $p_date;
}
function revdate($input)
{
 $today = explode("/",$input);
 $day = $today[0];
 $month = $today[1];
 $year = $today[2];
 $revdate = $year . "-" . str_pad($month, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT) . "-" .
str_pad($day, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
 return $revdate;
}
I've stored these in a file which I include and any call to the db to
display dates uses the dbdate() function and if I want to insert or update a
date then I use the revdate() function.

There are probably better ways to do this.

Hope this helps.

George in Edinburgh
