[PHP-DB] php|cruise - do unto others...
Anyone who's been on these lists for a few days is already familiar with CPT John W. Holmes. He's probably helped each and every one of us more times than we can count, all without asking for a thing. I think it's time we help him with something. php|cruise is coming this March. As of now, John isn't going and I think that's a huge loss. He should probably be one of those presenting, but at the very least, I'd like him in our midst. He certainly deserves it. I'm asking all of you to join me in Operation Send Captain on the Cruise. All it takes is a few minutes to PayPal a contribution to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Donations of any size are welcome, and every little bit helps. If enough of us chip in, John and his wife can get away for a bit, significantly reducing the chance that she'll cut off his PHP Mailing List privileges. ;) For those who are wondering, this was my idea, not John's. I did ask for his clearance and assured him that I'll take responsibility for any backlash. If you don't like this idea, tell me, not him. Thanks a lot. :) Edward Dudlik Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. wishy washy | www.amazon.com/o/registry/EGDXEBBWTYUU -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks for the kinds words. I'm glad this has been well received (so far). To make a donation, simply login to PayPal and click the Send Money tab at the top of your screen. Once there, put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the Recipient's Email field and fill out the remaining fields to your liking. :) Edward Dudlik Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. wishy washy | www.amazon.com/o/registry/EGDXEBBWTYUU - Original Message - From: Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Becoming Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP-DB [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php-general [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 20 October, 2003 15:09 Subject: RE: [PHP] php|cruise - do unto others...

Re: [PHP-DB] speeing up query and display...
You've got three queries, two of which are in while loops. If you're calling up
3000 records, you may have as many as 3000 DB queries, possibly more. That's
why things take forever.
Restructure your code, placing the queries outside the loops. Then use
mysql_fetch_array() and loop through the result sets. While you're at it, stop
closing out of PHP to write one character. Simply enclose your echo/print text
with single quotes so that PHP knows not to evaluate it.
To start you off, I've done most of the later work. I've also taken the liberty
of neatly formatting your code so that it's easier to follow. Good luck with
the rest.
?php
$manufQuery = db_query(SELECT manufacturer FROM kcs_threads);
while ($manufResults = db_fetch($manufQuery))
echo 'option value='.$manufResults[manufacturer].'/option';
$threadQuery = db_query(SELECT id,colour,colourID FROM kcs_threads LIMIT 10);
while ($threadResults = db_fetch($threadQuery)) {
$threadselectQuery = db_query(SELECT * FROM kcs_patternthreads WHERE
pattern_index='$id');
while ($threadselectResult = db_fetch($threadselectQuery)) {
echo 'option value='.$threadResults[id].'';
if ($threadselectResult[thread_index] == $threadResults[id])
echo 'checked'.$threadResults[colour].'/option';
}
}

Subject: [PHP-DB] speeing up query and display...
Hi Guys,
I have the following query which unfortunately has to grab all records
in a table (well over 3000) to display in a multiple select box.
Code:
?php
$manufQuery = db_query(SELECT manufacturer FROM
kcs_threads);
while ($manufResults = db_fetch($manufQuery)) {
?
option value=?php echo $manufResults[manufacturer];
?/option
?php
$threadQuery = db_query(SELECT id,colour,colourID FROM kcs_threads
LIMIT 10);
while ($threadResults = db_fetch($threadQuery)) {
$threadselectQuery = db_query(SELECT * FROM
kcs_patternthreads WHERE pattern_index='$id');
while ($threadselectResult =
db_fetch($threadselectQuery)) {
?
option value=?php echo $threadResults[id]; ? ?php
if ($threadselectResult[thread_index] == $threadResults[id]) echo
checked; ??php echo $threadResults[colour]; ?/option
?php
}
}
}
?
Can ANYONE see a way to speed up the query and displaying of the
results? Take a while on High Speed and WY to long on Dialup.
Thanks a lot

[PHP-DB] osCommerce - which merchant service/payment gateway?
I'm in the midst of a project for which I am using the osCommerce shopping cart and I'm currently trying to find a merchant service and payment gateway that will integrate smoothly with it. I'm currently leaning towards payQuake (http://www.payquake.com) as their fee structure is quite reasonable, but I'd like to know what others have used. I'm sorry for going slightly off-topic, but I'm sure many of you have experience with this issue.

Re: [PHP-DB] should each php-script clean up it's mysql connections
Therefore I wonder: Is it a good behavior to end connections or let every php-script clean up after it self in some way? Actually, it's much better practice to use the correct variable names. :P Cleaning up won't help you if the script is incorrect, so the benefit of unsetting variables is limited, at least with regards to error control. There may be memory and/or storage benefits, but I am not aware of any that are significant. Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com Did I help you?

Re: [PHP-DB] converting function to class and function (object)
You shouldn't have a semicolon at the end of your class declaration/closing
bracket. Also, I'm not sure if it would cause a problem, but try using standard
file extensions instead of things like .cls. Lastly, just for sake of
readability, you might want to simplify your naming scheme; this was a chore to
read.

Re: [PHP-DB] Rand() Emulation
Ultimately, my goal is to emulate mysql's - SELECT * FROM TABLE ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT (X) for other databases that do not support RAND(). Which are those? To me the idea above would work, but it hinges on if that rand column, doesn't have gaps. Use your table's primary key, assuming there is one. This saves creating what is otherwise unncessary data, but you'll still face gaps if records are deleted. Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com Did I help you?

Ultimately, my goal is to emulate mysql's - SELECT * FROM TABLE ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT (X) for other databases that do not support RAND(). So using variations of php's rand(), wouldn't make sense, as it only picks one value out of a range of values, that are numerical in nature. But here is an idea, that Im thinking about, but haven't gotten to the code as yet. 1. In the tables that I want random values from, create a rand column, that contains incremental numerical values for each row. 2. select the the maximum number from the rand column. 3. Assume that there are no gaps between 0 and this max number. 4. Create an array of numbers with values between 0 and max number. 5. Use array_rand() to randomly choose (x) values from the array created in step 4. (I may choose maybe a 1 or 2 values more than whats required, just in case of gaps between 0 and max number in step 3). 6. Use these randomly choosen values to select from the database as random rows. So hopefully its a bit clearer what Im striving for. To me the idea above would work, but it hinges on if that rand column, doesn't have gaps. If you see room for improvement, or have another idea, or if Im talking gibberish then by all means. Thanks.

To test the query I've pasted the printed query string into phpMyAdmin and it works first time every time. So if there's nothing wrong with the query string or the database, what else could be causing this error? -- Jamie Saunders Media Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could always use the % operand
snip

if(($faculty_found % $cols_wanted) == 0) {
// Then do a TR
echo 'tr';
} else {
// Then it's the first column, and don't end the row

This also simplifies it so that you can decide to use three, four or five
columns, just by changing the $cols_wanted variable

When I went looking for a script that would give me a
two-column layout that
would list my faculty members in two roughly equal columns,
alphabetized
down the first column and then the second, I did not find
such a script.
[There was indeed a two-column script, but it fed the data
row-by-row.]
I wrote this one and am glad to share it. The math statements
could surely
be condensed, but I was using them to confirm the results. This script
either creates two equal columns if the total number of items
is even, or it
makes the first column the longer if the total number of items is odd.

[PHP-DB] MySQL Transaction
A question was raised on the MySQL list about implementing transactions with PHP. I had planned on them for an upcoming project but I'd yet to figure out how I'd coordinate things. The original author's solution (slightly altered) was to make an array with all the queries and loop through them, setting a boolean flag and exiting the loop if a query fails. Testing for the value of the flag would execute a commit or rollback according to its value. I think this is a decent solution, but I'm wondering what some of you are using. A search of the Classes Repository yielded only one class, the comments for which are written in Spanish. I've included a link below for those who are interested. http://promoxy.mirrors.phpclasses.org/browse.html/file/3077.html Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] setting session variables via a form
maybe try the invers (anyways you havn't defined an action-attribute -
maybe this is a problem?):
Not declaring an action attribute automatically makes the form submit to itself.
When a URL query string is involved, this works much better than
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], which reduces the URL to its basic format.
'input name=view_details type=hidden value=yes'.
'input type=submit value=View Descriptions'.
That helped, to a degree. The submit button was key to getting the form to
register (hiding the button) but it's still not registering the session
variable.

Re: [PHP-DB] setting session variables via a form
It's always something obvious. I was not checking the session variable's value
at the correct point in the script, hence the display was not being altered by
its results. I've managed to get my code to display properly now, but I can't
retain state between queries.
My reason for using session variables was to ensure that a user's viewing
selection (with or without details) was retained. However, when I reload the
page with a new URL query string (for a different catalogue section), the view
settings revert to no details. This also occurs when reloading the page with
the same query string. Again, I'm sure it's something obvious but I just can't
seem to figure it out. What stupid mistake am I making this time? Thanks
again.

100%. I went so far as to move session_start() before every other element on
the page, even removing it from my include file and directly inserting it into
the actual page.
Furthermore, your register_globals setting will have some impact on your
syntax.
Mike answered that part quite nicely. I just realized that I had
register_globals = On, but that is now changed and I still have the same result.

Edward,
Are you certain that you have issued the session_start() call at the
beginning of the page? According to the session stuff on PHP.NET, you need
to make sure you have session_start() at the top of the page before you do
anything else with the session. For example, I have on one of my simpler
pages:
session_start();
session_register(isRegistering);
$_SESSION[isRegistering] = true;
header(Location: http://mywebsite.php;); /* Redirect browser */
Furthermore, your register_globals setting will have some impact on your
syntax.
See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
Hope that helped.

printing its value (and by things not working!). Thanks a

Re: [PHP-DB] addslashes, stripslashes, htmlspecialchars
The functions you're wondering about are designed for dealing with inserting user input into a database. If you have a form in which someone can enter text, you need to process the input with addslashes() in case the user input contains quotes. htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() have similar uses. If your webpage broke because a hyperlink in the database included quotes, you need to either manually add slashes to the text in the database or re-write your form processing script to include addslashes() and insert the data again.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Login session - browser/computer? problem
My boss can't seem to login at all through his laptop to my website.
The login process is as follows: from the index.php the person login goes to
handler/login.php which checks with the databae, if the user is authorized then
put a session variable called loginid and redirect the website to a page
in.php with a welcome display.
The in.php checks whether the session loginid is empty or exists to identify
whether the user has logged in.
It works fine in all the desktops in my office but one of my bosses tried to
access it with his laptop and it keeps saying wrong password.
Our IE version and OS is the same. (XP and IE 7.10)
Code for login
$sql = SELECT * from Login where loginname='$loginname' and
loginpass=ENCODE('$password','');
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION[loginid] = $loginname;
header(blabla);
}
?
My boss's problem is when he logged in the page got to in.php but in.php says he
is not logged in yet. Which means he is authorized, but the session data could
not be retrieved by in.php in his computer.
I checked and the cache timeout is 180 (default) cache limiter is empty and
domain is empty

hi,
since i got my mp3 code somewhat working (was my fault, sorry guys), i
encountered another problem that i simply cant solve on my own.
im scanning mp3 files in a directory to put the data into a mysql
database.
everything works fine except that those files that have inverted commas
(maybe also other special characters?) as part of the filename are being
ignored by the script. i tried to use addslashes() but that didn't help
either. i included a test (echo $dir.$file) to see what exactly would be
inside the variables. but it looked ok.
could anybody give me a hint? i just dont get it.
here is my code. i included mphp3.php from http://res.crea-bmb.de/mphp3/
to scan for mp3 tags:
?
include(mphp3.php);
mysql_connect(192.168.100.12,user,password) or die (Keine
Verbindung moeglich);
mysql_select_db(mp3) or die (Die Datenbank existiert nicht);
scan_dir(mp3/);
echo Fertig;
function scan_dir($dir)
{
$handle = @opendir($dir);

Rather than play the trial and error game, I'm soliciting your opinions in the hope that I might save some time for myself and for others who face this decision in the future. If it's not too much to ask, please include subjective information about why you like the class, it's pros and cons, and if there's anything you would change.

Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Count database-values
Edward,
Have you considered trying mysql_result()?
It appears that your query is going to always return a single piece of data:
Total. So you essentially have an array with only a single element. If you
did this:
$total = mysql_result($result,0);
You'll get the value of the item at index 0 (the first position in an array)
of the $result array stored in the $total variable.
Details are here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-result.php
The page also makes reference to other high-performance options, but since
you're only grabbing a single item and if you use the index number instead
of the column name as the documentation recommends, the performance should
be just fine.
Hope this helps.
Rich

Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying groups from SELECT
Thanks, Grhan, but I think I needed to explain things better. As is generally
a good idea, the categories are referenced in the product table by ID, not name.
Additionally, this is something along the lines of what I already had. I was
trying to use only one query and make PHP do the remaining work.
Here's the code I'm currently using, which I should have posted in the first
place.
?
$query = SELECT * FROM categories;
$result = mysql_query( $query );
$rows = mysql_num_rows( $result );
print ul\n;
while ( $cats = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
print li .$cats[cat_name] ./li;
$queryB = SELECT prod_name FROM products
WHERE prod_cat= .$cats[cat_id];
$resultB = mysql_query( $queryB );
print ul;
while ( $items = mysql_fetch_array( $resultB ) )
{
print li .$items[prod_name] ./li;
}
print /ul;
}
print /ul;
?
The more I think about it, the more it seems like I'll just have to use two
queries. I just didn't want to do so bcs the second query will run at least
four times and it seemed inefficient.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP/Mysql Script help.
I debugged the code and there were a slew of errors. I've fixed all but one,
which I can't correct bcs I don't know the intention. Most of the errors came
from improper syntax, a problem which could have been avoided by using
consistent code formatting. I chose to do that for you as well and have
included the code below.
As for the error I could not correct, it involves the final elseif() statement.
The way your code was written, you had two 'else' statements, which is an
obvious violation. I corrected that by changing the first (before the select
statement) to an elseif(), but I do not know the condition. Once you enter it,
the code should work smoothly.

Re: [PHP-DB] forms with php/mysql
If you aren't a coder, you probably cannot do what you ask; there aren't any pre-built simple systems that do exactly what you ask. Yes and no. I agree that someone without coding experience (or a desire to learn) cannot tackle this problem, but what Philippe has requested is a simple user authentication system with sessions, of which there are many. Still, customization to fit his system will require an understanding of the code, which will likely prove problematic. To the poster, check out the PHP Classes Repository for a number of authentication classes. Don't expect them to work if you don't understand the code, though.

Re: [PHP-DB] problem
It appears to me that you have REGISTER GLOBALS set to OFF. If that's the case,
you need to pre-pend each of your variables with $HTTP_POST_VARS or $_POST. If
you're not concerned about the security issues raised by leaving globals on,
simply change that one item in your php.ini file.

Re: [PHP-DB] Reserve Username while Confirming Signup
You don't need PostgreSQL for transactions. InnoDB tables in MySQL will work just fine. I do agree that this begs for a transaction setup. The transactions will confirm the transfer of everything from the temp to regular table. Then use a timestamp in conjunction with a sweeper script to remove all entries in the temp table more than 7 days old. I think that's a fair time for someone to confirm their information and it allows easily a scheduled operation.

The confirmation page stores the username and password in the Session variable and the submit page stores it into the database by getting it from the session. The rest of the information (eg. address) is resubmited via hidden input type. The question is : I want to reserve the username for the person(say A) while he/she is in the confirmation page and perhaps going back to edit some stuff. What is the best way to do that? I tried putting it in my database in a Logintemp table. With the same fields as the Login table. When the user submits, the Logintemp contents is moved to the Login table. The problem is what if while A is staring at the screen the computer hangs. How do I know if he/she closes the page altogether. I need to delete the contents of Logintemp since it was not moved to Login. Is there any other better way to do this? Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Re: [PHP-DB] Dealing with ENUM fields
This is for another menu project that I'm working on. The restaurant has a
large list of daily specials, all of which fit into one of four categories
(lunch, dinner, pizza, dessert). Because the data will never mix (no need for
joins or unions), I wanted to keep the specials categories separate from the
regular menu item categories. Because there are only four specials categories
and they are static, I thought ENUM would work best. Your opinions?

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*
Hey all -
I'm curious if anybody has ever setup the logic to put php functions
into a database here is my thinkin on it, hopefully I can get some
suggestions on the benefits, downsides, etc.
(in mysql)
CREATE TABLE `functions` (`functionId` INT (5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT
NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`functionData` TEXT NOT
NULL,
`functionDesc` TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY(`functionId`), UNIQUE(`functionId`));
INSERT INTO functions(functionData, functionDesc)
VALUES('function echoNumber($number)
{ echo $number; }',
'This function echos out a given $number');
(in php)
$sql = SELECT functionData
FROM functions;
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while($functionData = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
eval $functionData[functionData];
};
This in theory **should initiate the given functions listed in the
functions table, has anybody used anything like this? I have a two sites
that I NEED to use the same functions and this is the first thing that
comes to mind, plus it would allow for gui editing of or creating
functions via a secured webpage.
Thanks on advance!

My other option, as I saw it, was to loop through the items,
appending value
data to the query text with each iteration. If that seems
cryptic, here's a
basic idea of what I mean.
?
$query = INSERT INTO specials VALUES (
foreach ( $specials as $item ) {
$query = substr_replace( $query, $item., , strlen( $query ) );
}
$query = substr_replace( $query, ), strlen( $query )-2 );
?
If $specials was an array with the values spec1, spec2, and
spec3, the final
value of $query would be:
INSERT INTO specials VALUES (spec1, spec2, spec3)
I'm actually slightly dubious that this query *does* do what you want, but if
you've double-checked it and it does, then this is a somewhat more compact way
of producing it:
$query = INSERT INTO specials VALUES ( . implode(',', $specials) . ')'
Cheers!

Re: [PHP-DB] hotornot functionality
I agree with both Peter and Mengü, in a manner of speaking. Assuming you want
visitors to return, I think it's best to use sessions and cookies so that
they're not served the same image twice. Passing that information between pages
is easy with Peter's method. Mengü's technique (albeit slightly altered) would
work well at storing that information for future use.
Storing this information is *very* important. If users keep seeing the same
images, they won't return.

endpage();
}
assuming beginpage is responsible for displaying the last image you voted
on.

I am toying with the idea of implementing functionality similar to the
hotornot.com site -- for a different purpose, mind you, but the same kind of
user experience. Here's what it does:
1. A picture is served up.
2. User clicks on a radio button scale from 1 to 10 to rate the picture.
3. The page refreshes. The rating is re-computed with the user's rating for
the original picture. The original picture becomes that last rated pic, and a
new one is served up.
4. The user can cycle through as many pictures this way as they want.
I have MySQL and PHP to work with.
What I am trying to do is figure out the best approach to implementing it.
Specifically, when the user clicks on the radio button, that triggers the form
submit via JavaScript. The form submit updates the database with the rating and
then fetches the next row.
The problem that occurred to me as I was putting together a prototype is:
I don't want the user to get the entire result set of all the images in the
database at once. I really want them to get just the two images (the one they
just rated and the one they are about to rate). Is there a way to remember the
last row they selected and then use that number to fetch the next one on the
subsequent request? I can keep recycling hidden form fields with a number, which
should work ok, but the problems come up when they reach the last row.
Anyway, just looking to see if you folks have some ideas. I would prefer to
roll my own rather than use one of the available hotornot-style PHP scripts to
do this.

[PHP-DB] Multiple inserts revisited
The subject would lead you to believe that this is a check the archives post.
Worry not, I already did. Besides, this is more informative than anything.
I'm working on a catalogue (menu, really) admin page from which a client will
set their daily specials. My design calls for the user to select the day's
special items (already in the DB) with checkboxes. Submitting the form will set
the selected items as the day's specials by inserting the item_id and date into
another table. (This is done so that previous specials may be recalled later.
I don't see a need for it but the client requested the feature).
Regardless whether the items are inserted or simply updated, I was stuck on how
best to perform the operation. My initial thought was to create an array of the
selected items and loop through it to insert or update the various items.
However, I don't like running nearly a dozen queries to perform the operation,
something this would entail.
My other option, as I saw it, was to loop through the items, appending value
data to the query text with each iteration. If that seems cryptic, here's a
basic idea of what I mean.
?
$query = INSERT INTO specials VALUES (
foreach ( $specials as $item ) {
$query = substr_replace( $query, $item., , strlen( $query ) );
}
$query = substr_replace( $query, ), strlen( $query )-2 );
?
If $specials was an array with the values spec1, spec2, and spec3, the final
value of $query would be:
INSERT INTO specials VALUES (spec1, spec2, spec3)
This provides precisely what I need and reduces things to one query. Let it be
noted that the actual script would be a bit more complex (associative arrays)
but the general structure is there.
I know that there have been a few multiple insert questions posted to the list
lately so perhaps this will prove helpful to those who asked. If not, than
perhaps some of you can point out flaws in my design, should there be any.
Thanks for your time.
