[PHP-DB] [Newbie Q] csv file upload via php to mysql tutorial request
Hello listers I am a complete newbie at this and I have searched for anything that could help me understand this, but I've had no luck. My reason for emailing is this - I want to know how to upload a csv file via php to a mysql database. I have found a few examples but they are all much to advanced for my needs. I just want the bear basics so I can understand it. I can see that phpMyAdmin does this, which is great but I need it for joe public to be able to use. so I don't want them using phpMyAdmin.

RE: [PHP-DB] Archiving A Database
Thanks Peter! It turns out the people I work for don't care at all about this data, they were only using it to push clients to buy bigger packages and for bragging rights, so grand totals/totals per client/per period are all they need, the extra data I was logging *just in case* is totally useless to them, so they pushed for the quickest solution. I ended up implementing a scheme to just sort of condense the data by a common factor (the client's username), and record totals (see my post: [PHP-DB] Query Help for more info). I'm using cron jobs to run SQL on the database periodically to move the data around, and I used table locking in an attempt to keep the data sound. I'm still weary of the huge number (ok, its only like 5, but still) of queries and loops I'm using to gather the data for display, but it seems to be working ok (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated). I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for more serious archiving of data in the future.

Do you need live access to it? If you just need to archive it, read the man page for mysqldump. You can dump specific rows to a file, rename that file dump.2002.05.24, compress it with gzip, and voila, you have all of your data readily available, easily reinserted into your existing live DB. After the dump is complete, just delete those rows out of the DB. Now you have to be sure that the file contains 100% of the data and is accurate. You'll have to figure out how to do that yourself! One way I did it with WWW log files was to make a tmp copy, run a program on it, see if the output had the same number of lines in it, and if it did, delete the tmp copy and replace the original copy with the new copy (IP-DNS translation). In this case you could write a script that parses the newly created dump file in the standard format and, heck, using perl or PHP parse the thing for ),( and see how many you get. If the mysql select gets X rows, and the ),( or ); occurs X-1 times, then you know you got all the rows. (OK, it will be more complex than this, but you get the idea.) One record per file could get ugly real quick, both on the filesystem side and the maintenance side. Doing it by day will allow you to repopulate an entire day back into the DB as needed for billing questions or what not. MySQL will keep the unique ID (assuming it is a number auto_incremented) unique and only use ever higher IDs, not use old ones that no longer exist in the DB at the moment. Once you are done with that Day (or days) of data, you just delete it from the DB, knowing you have a copy of that day on file. I would also advise you to have 2-4 copies of all your backups on both physically different computers as well as physically different locations. I kept a copy of my live DB, backed up every 6 hours, at the data center on other computer, on my computer file server at home, and another one 7 states over. Sure, it's a bit of a pain in the ass, but if the data center goes up in smoke and my file server is hacked on the same day, I still have a copy 7 states over. I just used scp (secure-shell copy) and/or rsync + ssh to keep copies current and up to date on remote machines.

From that point the user is authenticated by verifying the cookie, which expires when the user's browser closes) The data is critical (used for billing and such), but the log viewing script I've written runs slower and slower with each passing day, and at one point the entire table was corrupted due to neglect on our system admin's part (I warned them about the default setting of mysql_max_connections being too low for a site that relied on the DB so heavily and had so much traffic.). The script is a simple front end to several MySQL queries, that retrieve totals for the past hour, day, week, month and grand totals for all clients or a given client. The rest of the site has been unaffected by the log issues. My current approach is to log the data as XML, one record per file, and create a log file that is an index of refrences to each record. I then empty previous data n the database. This works, but is very hard/slow to retrieve specific groups of information, and dumping the database takes a long time as well, which adds the difficulty of ensuring no records are lost.

RE: [PHP-DB] sort by date
It's also a matter of time, I think a lot of people try to be the first to answer something, or are answering from work on a busy day... they just don't have time to write explanations, or to RTFM themselves to verify (I'm guilty of this one), but they want to help. This is especially frustrating when sometimes people are asking for things that aren't obvious, and it takes 2 or 3 posts of them saying no that won't work because... before what they're *really* trying to do comes out. You write a long, descriptive post and they really are just trying to do something that won't work the way they want it to. :) I try to be polite, and apologize when I've been proven wrong. I think people get too easily frustrated answering the same question over and over, especially when it's something they've known for a long time. I learned almost everything I know (especially in regards to php) from experience and lots of reading, as I'm sure most of us on this list have, and it's just natural to quote a manual page or point someone there to give them a chance to learn on their own. An then sometimes a question is so obvious and has been asked so many times (by people in the list, by most people as they're learning) that the answer is very simple, and automatic. It's easier to say try [this code] than to risk insulting someone by saying hey you should know better that's all wrong, look here and here and here and find the answer. Like I said, I try to be polite, and I'm very patient with people, but honestly, if they're writing a php script and using a database to back it, they're not newbies, or at the very least, they *should* be able to read a manual. -- Josh -Original Message- From: Lisi [mailto:lists;shemeshdirectory.co.il] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 2:23 AM To: Snijders, Mark; 'Marco Tabini'; Terry Romine Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] sort by date There is a difference between a general, how do I do this question and a specific here's my code, I can't find the bug question.

[PHP-DB] [Newbie] Can't get MySQL working with PHP 4 under Apache 2
Hello, I've got PHP 4 working under Apache 2 on Linux Redhat 8 using the packages that came with the Redhat 8 installation. I can't get PHP to work with MySQL however. myphpadmin says that it cannot load the MySQL extension. When I check my PHP settings with phpinfo I see that it was compiled with the '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' option. I've tried uncommenting the extension=mysql.so line in php.ini but that doesn't work. Any ideas. I'm quite new to this game (although an IT professional in other areas) so it's quite possible I'm missing something trivial.

[PHP-DB] first Array value duplicating..
Hi All,
In a form I have checkboxes associated with order records. The
checkboxes are for deleting order records (should a client choose to do
so).
It looks like this:
form name=form action=process_bank.php method=POST
input type=hidden name=order_index[0] value=1
td class=cartlink align=centerinput type=checkbox
name=delete[0] value=1/td
input type=hidden name=order_index[1] value=3
td class=cartlink align=centerinput type=checkbox
name=delete[1] value=1/td
input type=hidden name=order_index[2] value=8
td class=cartlink align=centerinput type=checkbox
name=delete[2] value=1/td
input type=hidden name=order_index[3] value=12
td class=cartlink align=centerinput type=checkbox
name=delete[3] value=1/td
/form
Now.. when the process button is pressed the information is carried off
to the process_bank.php script.
Lets assume for this example.. I selected the checkbox delete[0] (which
equals value 1) and delete[3] (which equals value 12).
In the script I have this code:
for ($i=0;$isizeof($order_index);$i++) {
$orderQuery = db_query(SELECT id FROM TestOrderTable WHERE
id=.$order_index[$i]);
$orderResult = db_fetch($orderQuery);
if ($delete[$i] == 1) {
$ids .= $orderResult[id];
echo $ids;
}
}
The echo'd value that I get is 1,1,12 when it should be 1,12.
When only ONE checkbox is selected I just get the one value displayed
(i.e. if I selected the first checkbox the echo'd value would be 1).
Does anyone know why the first value is being duplicated on a multiple
select but not on a single select?
Sorry if this sounds confusing :(

I would suggest doing a var_dump of $order_index and see what is in
there.
Plus, you should take out the values in the form arrays...
Just do:

Re: [PHP-DB] first Array value duplicating..
An Real World example of how I do a similar thing might help:
My list with checkboxes (since this is dynamic, I don't know what
numbers are assigned) $itemID is the id of the record from the mysql
table, so the check box name is 'chk_12' for id=12. $checkAll is a flag
if the user selected the Check All button, echos(selected) to check
all the checkboxes.
tdinput type='checkbox' name='chk_$itemID' value='$itemID'
$checkAll/td
The in my process code I switch the submit button and test for delete.
$maxID is the max(id) from the list of items. I walk through the
possible list of items and see if any were checked and if so append
them to my list of deletes. Note that I use where id in () to gather
all the items at once.
case Delete Selected Records:
for($x=0;$x=$maxID;$x++){
$varname=chk_$x;
$value=$$varname;
if($value) {
$events[] = $value;
}
}
if($events) $events_IDs = implode(',', $events);
$sql= delete from $tableName where id in ('$events_IDs');
mysql_query($sql) or die($sql . mysql_error());
$message_str=Record(s) deleted;
break;

Re: [PHP-DB] Structure Question...
You would want 2 3. You should create 3 tables, one for products, one for categories and one to relate the two. You should only store ID numbers that relate to products and categories.

I set it up where each product belongs to a category. However, now we want to take it further where different products can now belong to more than 1 category. How would you create this? 1. Would you duplicate the records for items that belong to more than 1 category and change the categories in those duplicated records? 2. Would you enter multiple categories into 1 column? 3. Would you create a different database that tracks categories and creat a many to many relationship?

[PHP-DB] Argh!!!! Help with something o-f-f-t-o-p-i-c
Sorry for the OT post y'all.. but I can't find this answer - well not
without major major code information that I can't figure out!
Basic?
I have a series of checkbox arrays like:
input type=checkbox name=delete[] value=$row[id]
These are for different records in my DB.
Now... I want to check (javascript - this is the off topic part :P) if
one of them checkboxes HAS been selected and if so display a confirm
message.
This is what I have:
function checkform(f) {
var el, e = 0, firstBox, msg = 'You are about to delete something';
while (el = f.elements[e++])
if (el.type == 'checkbox' el.checked) {
return confirm(msg);
return false;
}
return true;
}
Now... this DOES work but with one problem.. I have another checkbox
within the form that does something different but the confirm() will
display if EITHER checkboxes are selected and it SHOULD ONLY be on the
delete[] checkbox.
I know.. waaay off topic but I don't know how to reference the names
that are arrays in javascript :(
Sorry again all.

Re: [PHP-DB] [Newbie Q] csv file upload via php to mysql tutorialrequest
1. learn how to do a file upload in PHP:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
2. Process the CSV file line by line in a loop. Not posting your CSV file
format, I can only guess that it will be in proper form. If so:
for loop {
$csvline = 'column1,column2,column3';
$r = mysql_query(insert into table values ($csvline));
}
This assumes the data in your CSV file is the same as your DB structure.
If not, do this:
$r = mysql_query(insert into table (column1,column2,column3) values ($csvline));
