if (!$this->link) {
printf("Could not connect to sql server");
}
mysql_select_db($sqldatabase);
}//end of function connect
}//end of class

$class = new Connect;

RE: [PHP-DB] External file integryti check
can't you just make the name of the file include a unique identifier of some sort, or store each user's files in a different directory or something, to make sure that they can't overwrite each other's (or their own) files?

[PHP-DB] INSERTing INTO Multiple Tables with MySQL & PHP
Hi there, I've been hunting thru the net trying to find some info on inserting data to multiple tables. I have two tables (LookupTable and MainTable): LookupTable( FirstID SecondID ) MainTable( ID Name Address etc etc ) Once I insert data into the MainTable I want to also insert the ID from the MainTable to the LookupTable as the FirstID. Then I want to check for the highest ID number in the SecondID field that is associated with the First ID then add one to the highest value and insert that to the SecondID. FirstID SecondID 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 In the above table I would want to insert 1 to the FirstID then find the highest number in the SecondID associated with the FirstID "1" then add one to it so that my next row in the table would be: FirstID SecondID 1 5 How would I go about doing this? I've been looking thru Kevin Yank's book "Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL", its pretty good on the whole but updating two tables simultaneously seems to be lacking detail. I hope I've made this clear enough, I may have repeated myself there but I was wanted to make sure that what I've written is cleary understood. Thank you in advance for any help - I'm lost!

Re: [PHP-DB] Indepth Tutorial... need help.
I'd endorse "SQL for Smarties", plus just about anything else JC has written on SQL. Another good book is "The Practical SQL Handbook" by Bowman, Emerson & Darnovsky, ISBN 0-202-44787-8 For a tutorial have a look at Julie Meloni's at http://www.thickbook.com. They are "single issue" tutorial, aredevloped progressively and quite clear. A new user must read the section of the manual which deals with variables. The way PHP creates variables automatically can be a bit confusing to the newcomer.

Re: [PHP-DB] Indepth Tutorial... need help.
Most of this stuff is actually just SQL and has little to do with PHP. So look for an SQL tutorial. From the PHP side all you need to know is mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db(), mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_row().'' All queries are sent to the database via mysql_query(). It doesn't matter to PHP if you are adding, deleting, modifying, searching, sorting, filtering, or whatever. You just put the SQL code in the mysql_query() call. -Rasmus On Tue, 3 Sep 2002, Matt Zur wrote: > Can someone point me in the direction of an online tutorial for php > mysql that covers the following: > > - Teaches me how to use php to access mysql > - Creating a db that is structured to be efficient > - How to add, modify, and delete records in a database > - How to search for records > - How to filter records > - How to sort records, by a certain field, alphabetical, descending etc. > - Indexes - how to create them, how to keep the updated with changes in > the db a beginners look to in-depth approach. > > Yes I've visited PHP.net, and mysql.com.

[PHP-DB] External file integryti check
Hi, id'like to know the opinion about to ensure external file integrity. Scenario: A web application that uses binary files( images, PDF's ). On the database ( postgresql 7.2.2 ) i store the filename of the files. The files ( images only ) are taken from an internal machine when needed( via ftp ) or automatically at idle periods.If the image comes throuth ftp( requested by a user ), the image is downloaded to a temporary directory, a record is inserted into the database and the file get's moved to the final directory if it passed some tests.If no image is requested by a user, a script will download( rcp ) at night the files and then put those in the final directory.When a user request's a PDF, i create the PDF in realtime, using info. stored in the DB plus the image( store on filesystem ). My concern here is the folowing: let's imagine that an image file is overwriten with a new image( by mistake ). This is possible because users use some kind of ID to name the file. If this appens, the info stored in DB is out of sync in relation to the file stored in filesystem. To correct this issues i have three possibilities: 1 - Store the PDF's in the filesystem, and store the file date, time andCRC32 of the entire file in the database. This solution has a consequence... i will need lots of space in the server( each file is aprox. 2MB ). At night a script will validate the sync between the info stored in DB and the info on filesystem. 2 - Create the PDF when requested. When the PDF generated for the first time, i will store: image creation date, time, crc32 and some more dates, times and CRC32's of other information into the DB. At night a script will validate the sync between the info stored in DB and the info on filesystem. 3 - Run a script that is change file permissions( file is created with user owner of webserver) for those new records inserted to root. A script will be run, because i cant change ownership of a file on the fly with PHP( PHP security ). Those are my solution's, if any one has any comments or suggestion's please share it with us.Thank's Miguel Carvalho -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If two clients execute this call at the same time with the same connection, I would possiblely get the wrong ID, wouldn't I? Is there a way to do this in one step? By the way, I can't use a string with more than one query in the mssql_query() function. I get error like: Attempt to initiate a new SQL Server operation with results pending on the next query() call.
