Re: [PHP-DB] getting one line of info at a time
Doug -- ...and then Hull, Douglas D said... % % 1. I have a regular html textarea field for a person to enter in words with a carriage return after each word.

You'll get it all because the user will type in as many entries as he will and then hit the submit button and it all comes to you. Or were you thinking of some javascript on your page to do things one word at a time? [One word about that: YUCK! :-] If your page looks like Type your words: Now type some words here: and you feed a b c and a b c to the fields then your script will have something like Array ( [ta] => a b c [i] => a b c ) for its input.

% Hi David
% How about:

Well, I *thought* it was perfect. Unfortunately, it ain't in practice.
Running
$r = mysql_query("select ID from customer where EMail = '$email'",$dbro) ;
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r) ;
$id = $row[0] ;
works, but
$id = mysql_result(mysql_query("select ID from customer where EMail =
'$email'",$dbro),0) ;
or even
$r = mysql_query("select ID from customer where EMail = '$email'",$dbro) ;
$id = mysql_result($r,0) ;
fails with
Warning: mysql_result(): Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 4...
Now this makes some sense; the manual says that
mysql_result ( resource result , int row )
will jump to row $row in the output but says nothing about returning me a
given fields.
Any other thoughts?

$r = mysql_query($q,$dbro) ;

this one row (not looping), could I just
$i = mysql_fetch_array($r)[0] ;
somehow?

Re: [PHP-DB] compare php and perl
Mignon -- The short answer is that the two are fairly equivalent and if you're asking the question then you're not going to run up against the nitty gritty differences for a while. In general, I bet you get more "PHP is better" answers on this list ;-) Both can talk directly to databases, both are quick, and both are easy to use (and once you know one picking up the other is pretty easy because they are quite similar). Both are popular and many things are written for both because porting is pretty easy. That said, I would be inclined to point a new user who is only writing web pages and web scripts toward PHP because - you can, indeed, easily scatter your php all over your web site (even if some might not think that that's terribly pure :-) while doing so with perl takes a little more manual configuration - perl is incredibly powerful (not to say that php isn't, but...) and picking up php may be likened to learning to fly in a Cessna instead of a multi-engined jet even though I am a fan and user of both and often use perl because an existing script will translate so easily to a web page. For an advanced programmer I'd say to pick up bother because of the awesome depth of functionality available through CPAN, a collection of modules and tools for perl that already do, and generally quite well, anything most people are likely to want to do :-) HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.

Re: [PHP-DB] Using two colomns of mysql data as key/value pairs in arrays

You won't get that directly; you'll have to build your final array
from the results.
You can read your info out of the DB as an indexed or associative array
(via mysql_fetch_array) or just as values (mysql_fetch_row), but you'll
only get one result at a time. You need to loop through the results with
something like
$result = mysql_query("select id,name from a_table") ;
$everyone = () ;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{ $everyone[$row['id']] = $row['name'] ; }
or so to fill up $everyone so that you can then look up by $everyone[$id].
Note that I don't recommend this as the best approach, and I don't think
that anyone else does, either. Usually you want to avoid sucking an
entire database into your script's memory; the database (and its coders)
almost always handles data better than we mere mortals. A much better
approach is to make your select call per specific ID and get out only the
name(s) that you need, and then go back later and make a different call.
The only time I can see sense in scanning the whole table is when you
want to dump the entire list of people or some such, and then rather than
doing it in two steps of loading your $everyone and then spitting out I'd
probably do something like
$sql = "select id,name from a_table order by department" ;
$result = mysql_query($sql) ;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{ print "ID: {$row['id']}\tName: {$row['name']}\n" ; }
to just run through the data. I'm sure others here know of even better
ways to print a roster :-)

Really? How? I must be quite confused.
Given a DB table that looks about like

06fred
then code like
$result = mysql_query("select id,name from table") ;

mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC) for those who like mysql_fetch_array but for
some reason care about the memory used by a single record
{
...
}
will yield $row like
array
(
'id' => 01,
'name' => 'david'
)
or so every time. How on earth is that going to get Devon his desired
array
(
'01' => 'david' ,
'02' => 'anna' ,

If you don't get all of the rows, then see if you really read the whole file and either stopped early or skipped over some, and check those rows for problems.

Re: [PHP-DB] Downloading PHP source from a PHP filename, possible?

% Hi,
Hi!

% If a file is called blah.php and is only tailored to
% PHP code is it possible to make it downloadable either
% as a file-download or appear as plain text in a
% browser window?
You could probably manage anything, though it might be a little tricky;
if you really insisted on having just the one file, I'd actually have a
wrapper script which is allowed to display the php source of another
file. Hmmm... As I think about it, there's probably no reason that
special script couldn't display itself, which means there's no reason
your original file couldn't display itself either; you'd no doubt have a
"display" function just for that. Gonna have to think about that one.
Anyway, what I usually do if I have a need to display the source of
running code is just make a symlink as either blah.txt or blah.phps
(depending on whether I want it to be readable on the surfer's windows
box after downloading or want colorization by apache) so that I save
space and have only one thing to maintain. I could use a hard link but
then it's easy to forget that it's a link :-)
But I'm going to have to go and think about including and recursion for a
bit, starting with how to do it for some specific other file. It could
be as easy as
print file("blah.php") ;
or such...

Re: [PHP-DB] Reading emails with PHP
2 where EMAIL = ?" ;# user status query my $b = "insert into eteam.MAIL_BOUNCE values (?,?,?,?,?)" ; # bounce mail log query my $ur = $eteam->prepare($u) ;# prepare query (user) my $br = $eteam->prepare($b) ;# prepare query (bounce) ## }}} where the '?' is a placeholder for the values you'll provide at execution time. This, IMHO, is a pretty slick feature; it essentially turns your query string + resource connection into a function that accepts your varying input and then executes the call. So there you have it... This perl script is only 58 lines long and handles just about every sort of bounce known to man and then goes and updates two DB tables with the info it pulls out. It's called from the apparent sender's .qmail (like .forward) file, which also dumps a copy of the message onto a mail spool for us to review if we ever need to.

endmail uses. Think of forwarding your snail mail, but of course enormously more capable (like just about anything compared to snail mail :-) The easiest way to play with this stuff and more is to just set up a *NIX box at home and start playing with it. The second easiest way is to read lots of man pages, but that's a very good approach because you'll find out ALL about each piece.

You might check PHPClasses to see if anyone has done this; I wouldn't be
surprised. In general, though, you declare the file type and then run
through a loop. From some code I have:
header ("Content-Type: application/csv;") ; # this is a CSV
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=authorized-visitors.$d.csv") ;
# file name
...
[suck in file and dump into $a array]
foreach ( array_keys($a) as $ak ) # walk thru the array
{ print "\"$a[$ak]\"," ; }# print the field (yes, even
if blank)
print "\n" ;# end the row
$total[$d]++ ; # keep count
} # if($age||$ftime) // }}}
} # if(is_file)

I agree that implode is a better way to go. I had to have my fields
export in a particular order when they were stored differently, so I
loop through my format array to get the order of the keys to pull from
the data array.
