Re: [PHP-DB] mysql went away

[Jeffrey Moss]

I would start by seeing if the files are there after you create/load the
table. It should by default create a file for each table you create. Sounds
to me like a problem reading the disk.

If you don't find any answers on your own, post your system specs to the
MySQL lists. You could also try verbose debugging options, I've never used
any debugging, but here's how to do it in mysqladmin.

--debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often is 'd:t:o,file_name'.
The default is 'd:t:o,/tmp/mysqladmin.trace'.

  i have installed rpms php-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm
   php-mysql-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm


   After i create a database called mydb and serveral tables in mysql,
   I tried to run following testdb.php script


   --
   
   
   \n", mysql_result($result,0,"first"));
   printf("Last Name: %s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"last"));
   printf("Address: %s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"address"));
   printf("Position: %s\n", mysql_result($result,0,"position"));

RE: [PHP-DB] Linux/PHP/Access Database - oh boy :(

[Alex Gemmell]

Well, I have reached a solution that works brilliantly - unfortunately it
doesn't involve connecting to the MS Access db file.  Instead I have beaten
the server administrator with a stick (harassing by phone works!) until he
installed MySQL for me.  Now I can work with PHP&MySQL in harmony!

Thanks to all who offered help.  Especially the last few ideas about using
PHP to parse .csv files.  That would have definitely been the only solution
given my situation.

Until the next impossible situation...

|
|Hello all,
|
|I am fairly new to Linux/PHP so please bear with me.  I have an awfully
|awkward problem to solve - a stop gap solution for the next 6 months until
|we have out in-house servers set up and running.  I also have a very short
|timeframe to sort this out.  I am using PHP on a remotely hosted Linux web
|server to build my website, however I have been given a MS Access database
|to use!  Despite my best efforts (and two days Google trawling) I haven't
|found a suitable solution so I am turning to your collective knowledge...
|
|First things first - I do not run the server and cannot install any new
|tools on to it (I cannot access the folders above my web root).  There are
|lots of suggestions on the net about installing MDBTools and UnixODBC RPM
|(http://bryanmills.net:8086/archives/99.html) - but that involves the
|admin who won't do it!  I can, of course, put scripts that may help in the
|actual web folder and reference them if anyone has any ideas...
|
|I know I must use a DSN-less connection.  I first tried connecting directly
|to the mdb file using:
|   $conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die ("Cannot create ADODB
|Connection object.");
|
|   //$connstr =
|"PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DBQ=/prices/mydb.mdb;"."DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver
|(*.mdb)};"
|   //$connstr = "Provider=Microsoft,.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=".
|realpath("prices/mydb.mdb") ." ;";
|   // I've never got the above two connection strings to work but I
|include them for completeness and in case any realises they might help me!
|   $connstr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=".
|realpath("prices/mydb.mdb") ." ;";
|
|   $conn->open($connstr);
|
|This worked on my localhost running IIS 5 (unsurprisingly) but fell over
|immediately on the Linux box.  I am told this is because COM support in PHP
|before version 4.3.x is buggy (he PHP version installed on the server is
|4.1.2).  Is this true?  Will upgrading to version 4.3.x solve all my
|problems?
|
|Also, I heard that converting the .mdb file to a .dbf file might help - but
|how do I connect to that with PHP?  The PHP manual says this about dbase
|functions:
|"These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format (dbf)
|databases. There is no support for indexes or memo fields."
|That's no good because I have long text fields in the Access database that
|are of type "memo"!
|The Manual also says "we recommend that you do not use dBase files as your
|production database" - eek!  It's only a small database (one table with
|about 50 records, each with no more than 20 fields) so hopefully it will
|suffice.
|
|Am I right in thinking I have very few options?   I don't want to move over
|to ASP (would that even help?) because it means learning VBScript and I
|don't have a lot of time.  Also, I can't use another database (e.g. MySQL)
|cos the server admin is NOT helping me and won't install anything new.
|
|I know 99% of you will want to tell me to just back out of this horrible
|tangle and take a different route, but is there one person out there who
|can help me get through this nightmare?
|
|Thank you!

I'm glad you found a solution to your problem-- how big a stick did it 
require?

I actually learned a LOT just reading that thread (although I'm an 
Access guru who came to PHP/MySQL by way of conversion to zealotry, I've 
never used PHP against an Access back-end).  Many thanks to those who 
contributed!

In the meantime, a warning against CSV files:  I've found it best, when 
transferring files this way, to use a delimiter other than the comma. 
I'll usually use a character that's not even on the keyboard, if 
possible.  The other option is to make absolutely sure that all quotes 
in text fields (if any) are escaped/encoded.  Either way works, you just 
have to be careful...

I need to create a  and the possible options are from my mysql
database ( so far so good, I was able to find code to do that).
Now I need to use the user selected option to drive the options of me  
next

pass
that around? I have used "onchange" attribute of the  to  
capture the
selected line but now how can I pass that to other php scripts?  ( I  
need to
get the name of the country so that I can show a list of possible
state/province. I setting the value of the "newcountry" input to the
selected "country" but when I do echo $newcountry in quicksearch.php,  
its
blank!!)

$_REQUEST['country'];
$countrySQL = !isset($_REQUEST['country'])? "*": $_REQUEST['country'];

echo "$country";

$query = "SELECT country FROM ". TABLECOUNTRY . " ORDER BY country  
ASC";

// pconnect, select and query

if ($link_identifier = mysql_pconnect(DBSERVERHOST, DBUSERNAME,  
DBPASSWORD))
{

 if ( mysql_select_db(DBNAME, $link_identifier)) {

   // run the query

$queryResultHandle = mysql_query($query, $link_identifier) or  
die(
mysql_error() );

$ctrRows = mysql_num_rows($queryResultHandle); // row counter

   // if data exists then $rows will be 1 or greater

   if( $ctrRows == 0 ) {

 echo"No data  
found";

   }else{

 // build the select list

 while($row = mysql_fetch_object($queryResultHandle))  
{ //
