[PHP-DB] creating a processing page
Hi all,
How do you make a 'processing page' like the one's on some php forum search
pages? Would it be something like as follows:
htmlheadProcessingtitle/title
script language=javascript
!--//
function gotopage( page ) {
window.location( page );
}
//--
/script
/headbody
Processing, please wait...
?php
$deatails = do_whatever_takes_time();
$page_that_can_retreive_stored_details = somehow_store( $details );
echo 'script language=javascript!--// gotopage(
$page_that_can_retreive_stored_details ); //--/script/body/html';
?
Or is there some other much simpler way to acheive this???
Cheers Ry

[PHP-DB] displaying duplicate records...
I have a database which allows people to upload info and foto's. There's a unique ID field, but some people tend to upload their info more than once (its a contest site). What I'm able to do is to see how may duplicates there are using the following statement: $query=SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt, voornaam,achternaam,leeftijd,ID,email FROM modellen GROUP BY email HAVING cnt 1; But this only gives me numbers. Does anyone know how to display every record that has multiple duplicate ? Or is there an elegant way to stop people from entering their info more than once? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Re: displaying duplicate records...
Hi, there's an elegant way to stop people from uploading the infos more than one time. And it's easy to do. You just have to figure out which fields are not allowed to have the same values and put those fields into an unique key. ALTER TABLE projekt ADD UNIQUE(voornaam, achternaam, email) would just allow one entry with the same names and email. The query you're searching may be like this: $query=SELECT COUNT(email) as cnt, voornaam,achternaam,leeftijd,ID,email FROM modellen GROUP BY email HAVING cnt 1; HTH, Bastian Marco Alting schrieb: I have a database which allows people to upload info and foto's.

Re: [PHP-DB] displaying duplicate records...
I do not understand your first question. Your query in effect shows duplicates. To prevent future duplicates, you can do it in two ways: 1. with MySQL: create a unique index on what should be unique, most likely the email (it looks like your business logic implies one entry per email) in fact you would not have this problem if you had defined email as PRIMARY KEY But you will have to remove the duplicates first - an unpleasant job. AFAIK, there is no easy way to do it with MySQL (or SQL in general). You have to do it procedurally by calling the entire table row by row. 2.

Marco Alting schrieb: Ok I see, and how would you catch the error people get, when they send it again ? Well, there will be no error-message... if you use mysql (do you?) ;-) If you want a message you will have to select all rows from your table where the values the user wants to insert are already inserted. If you find some - error, if not - put them in. Ignatius is right: I forgot to mention that there mustn't be any duplicates in the fields you want to add to the unique key.

Re: [PHP-DB] displaying duplicate records...
Well, seeing n rows or only one does not make you any happier, because you
can not issue a DELETE statement that will delete only (n-1) entries.
If your table is small enough, you may try to delete duplicates manually
with a graphical interface such as Access or DBTools. But test first, as it
may very well delete all n rows (in fact it SHOULD if it implements SQL
properly...)
Your PHP script should test first whether the proposed entry exists, with a
query like:
SELECT *
FROM my_table
WHERE unique_field = '{$_POST['unique_field']}'
(As a rule, you must validate thoroughly ALL entries before inserting into
your DB.)
you can test over if ( mysql_num_rows( $result) ) if there is already an
entry. In such case, redirect to your script with an appropriate error
message.
If you are reluctant to validate data, you can send the INSERT query and
interpret an error as an attempt to create a duplicate (provided you had
first created the appropriate UNIQUE index). Very dirty and not recommended.

[PHP-DB] query
Hi to all, I'm working in a system where users can post projects. Other users will verify those projects. What I'm trying to do is once a user verify a project he/she cannot view it anymore, but I want to keep it available for the other users that haven't verified it. I have two tables project and user_verified. On project table I keep all the projects that users post. On user_verified I keep users who already verified for a project. These are the fields for user_vefified table project_id, username, verified Everytime a user verifies a project I insert a new record to the user_verified table. This the query, but it doesn't work. It selects the same record from the two tables. e.g. if the records exist twice on the user_verified table and one on the project table, it will display three records when I run the the following query: $sql = SELECT project.project_id, project.project_name, project.project_desc FROM project, user_verified WHERE project.username user_verified.username AND project.username '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND project.category='$category'); any help is greatly apprecciate it Thanks in advance Nato -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] Index on email or ID?
the id is definitely better. although creating an index on the email and potentially the password would help. I had a table that was indexed off of a random unique string and when i got to about 5+ rows updates were taking about 4 seconds. you can authenticate with the email and password, but then i would run all updates based on the ID, and if you need to be sure of authentication, store them in session variables and use them when you need them. if you want to keep it the way you have it, i'd just add indexes on those fields. i'm sure there are better ways but, . hth jeff Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] om cc: Subject: [PHP-DB] Index on email or ID? 12/04/2002 09:23 AM Hi, My website requires subscribed users to login with their email and password, the email is guaranteed to be unique, so this is one key, the other is the AUTO_INCREMENT ID assigned at registration time. In the cookie that I drop at logon time is the email/password combination (security isn't really a major issue)so I can then use the email as the unique key into the user table. Of course, I could also drop the AUTO_INCREMENT ID at logon time aswell, so instead of having: WHERE email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' AND password = 'userpass' I would use: WHERE id = 19 AND email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' AND password = 'userpass' Question is, is the index performance on a INT column much greater than that of a VARCHAR column? My guess would be yes. Also, if your thinking about saying well if ya got the ID, why bother with email and password, well I don't want to make it THAT easy to logon as another user.

RE: [PHP-DB] query
Ideally, you would have 3 tables like so... Projects(with one record per project) - projectID |ProjectName| etc... 1 my project 2 another project Users(with one record per user) --- userID| userName| etc... 123 Joe Blow 124 Mary Jane ProjectsVerified projectID| userID 1 123 1 124 2 124 In this example, Joe has verified my project only. Mary Jane has verified my project and another project. Whether you use my database or yours, you will need to use SQL's JOIN syntax to properly extract the information you are looking for. Read up on SQL and JOIN types, (LEFT, INNER, OUTER etc.). They are tricky at first but well worth it once you figure out what is going on. Or just repost, and someone will help you out with it.

Re: [PHP-DB] Index on email or ID?
Always, always, always use a value that has no other significance other than being a unique ID. Email addresses change and so do passwords, so those are poor choices for linking data. They are fine and good choices for login, but that's about the only thing they should be used for. I've seen systems where the social security number was used as the unique ID. Sure it won't change, but it's also private information. Then there is the problem of human error on data entry.

[PHP-DB] Special URL Verification String...
I am trying to implement an approval system that sends an e-mail to
a user for approval linking them back to a special URL that matches database
entries for a verification string. The verification string sent via the
e-mail does not match that in the database and I am looking for help in
figuring out why. Here is what generates the verification string:
$verify_string = $sbcuid;
for ($i = 0 ; $i 14; $i++) {
$verify_string .= chr(mt_rand(32,126));
}
Here is what this results in inside the database table:
sn4265e~zD|W(XTMxO+
Here is what is sent in the e-mail:
sn4265e%7EzD%7CW%28XTMxO%22%2B
I know that I am doing something wrong here, but what. Thanks in
advance.

RE: [PHP-DB] Special URL Verification String...
The %7 and similar are used in URL encoding to represent illegal characters
such as spaces and others - these are translated when the user clicks to
open the URL, giving the string you get back. I think

Subject: [PHP-DB] Special URL Verification String...
I am trying to implement an approval system that sends an e-mail to
a user for approval linking them back to a special URL that matches database
entries for a verification string. The verification string sent via the
e-mail does not match that in the database and I am looking for help in
figuring out why. Here is what generates the verification string:
$verify_string = $sbcuid;
for ($i = 0 ; $i 14; $i++) {
$verify_string .= chr(mt_rand(32,126));
}
Here is what this results in inside the database table:
sn4265e~zD|W(XTMxO+
Here is what is sent in the e-mail:
sn4265e%7EzD%7CW%28XTMxO%22%2B
I know that I am doing something wrong here, but what. Thanks in

I would use

Re: [PHP-DB] Index on email or ID?
Always, always, always use a value that has no other significance other than being a unique ID. Email addresses change and so do passwords, so those are poor choices for linking data. They are fine and good choices for login, but that's about the only thing they should be used for. I understand what your saying, but if I just use the ID, then it makes it extremely easy to login as another user, simply change the ID in your cookie. Atleast if I have email/password aswell it takes someone with access to the network and a sniffer to get the values. If a user changes his email and/or password, then the cookie gets updated, simple. I can't see that its that much of an issue. If we were talking about a credit card number or something else critical then I'd agree.

echo the actual sql statement from runtime and post it. Natividad Castro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi to all, I'm working in a system where users can post projects. Other users will verify those projects. What I'm trying to do is once a user verify a project he/she cannot view it anymore, but I want to keep it available for the other users that haven't verified it. I have two tables project and user_verified. On project table I keep all the projects that users post. On user_verified I keep users who already verified for a project. These are the fields for user_vefified table project_id, username, verified Everytime a user verifies a project I insert a new record to the user_verified table. This the query, but it doesn't work. It selects the same record from the two tables. e.g. if the records exist twice on the user_verified table and one on the project table, it will display three records when I run the the following query: $sql = SELECT project.project_id, project.project_name, project.project_desc FROM project, user_verified WHERE project.username user_verified.username AND project.username '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND project.category='$category'); any help is greatly apprecciate it Thanks in advance Nato -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] calling function on submit instead of going to a new script
Hi,
I'm using some form fields on a page to pick up existing data from a MySQL
database, make any changes, and update the database when i hit submit.
I've picked up the data ok, now i want to process the update...
How do i call a function(?) on the same page rather than use another page
through action=somescript.php?
what i'd like to do (in seudo-code) is:
form action=myfunction()
...
input type=submit
/form
myfunction(){
process update send user back to homepage
}
cheers,

RE: [PHP-DB] calling function on submit instead of going to a new script
long story short - you can't
you can only call a function in javascript or some other client-side
scripting language like that, and you would use the onSubmit= attribute of
the form tag.
by the sounds of what you want to do - i would say you would do something
like;
1. load values from db and display in a form (with a submit button, and
perhaps a hidden field of some sort)
2. make your changes on the form and submit it
3. the form posts BACK TO THE SAME PAGE
4. on that page, you check for either the hidden variable (more reliable),
or the variable for the submit button (which gets created when the user
clicks it)
5. do whatever you want with the changes made (UPDATE?), then display the
form again, now with the new values in it.

Re: [PHP-DB] I got this idea...
Well, we can only offer very general guidelines at this stage. What you can do is write a script that: - call all the URLs showing paintball prices (btw what is a paintball?) - extract the product name and price. this will require a specific REGEX for each URL called, and regular testing vs change of page design. the only difficult part is just this: writing and testing custom REGEXes. In fact, why not actually create a DB and run the script every night (or more often) as a scheduled task to update the DB?

Re: [PHP-DB] calling function on submit instead of going to a new script
Simply append a parameter to the URL:
action=same_page.php?selector=1
your script will take various actions based on a switch:
switch $_POST['selector'] {
case 1 : etc.
