RE: [PHP-DB] checkboxes and loops
I am relatively new with PHP, but have done this many times with ASP.
First, I would not assign the counter value to the checkbox as you are now.
Use the ID (identity) value from the database for the applicant record
instead. Since ONLY the checkboxes that are checked will be submitted, you
can just loop through the submitted checkbox values and perform a 'delete',
or 'whatever' on each submitted record. Or, use: ...WHERE IN (id1, id2,
..., idN) in your DELETE statement.

Subject: [PHP-DB] checkboxes and loops
OK lets see if I can figure out how to ask this:
I am setting up a system for my company to filter through employee
applications. Most of the applications do not fit the criteria and I
want to allow my bosses a checkbox to the right of them which
they can
check or uncheck to remove an applicant.
So I run a loop that generates a bunch of check boxes with the name
box1, box2, box3... by running a loop that runs this and increments
counter every time:
{
input type = checkbox name = box?echo $counter;? value
= delete
$counter++;
}
But when I try to create my query that updates the table I have a
problem generating these variable again by referring to them
indirectly:
*Bad solution 1 (to much work)***
if ($box1 == 'delete') do whatever
if ($box2 == 'delete') do whatever
if ($box3 == 'delete') do whatever
if ($box4 == 'delete') do whatever
if ($box5 == 'delete') do whatever
if ($box6 == 'delete') do whatever
***
*Bad solution 2 (doesn't work)***
$counter = 1;
while (whatever)
{
if ($box . $counter == 'delete') do whatever
$counter++;
}
***
How do I get around this problem?
Hopefully someone understands what I am trying to say.

I think this is in the php documentation but here is an answer from: http://forums.devshed.com/archive/5/2002/11/2/47028 = MSSQL connection using PHP (ERROR) micros_bytes This is happening because you do not have the required MS-SQL client libraries. In addition to having the PHP extension DLL, you have to have the Microsoft DLLs for accessing SQL Server. I don't recall the exact files but you can get them by installing the SQL Server Client Tools from the SQL Server install CD.

RE: [PHP-DB] Unable to connect to MSSQL with PHP through a firewall
I came across this problem when I separated my web applications and database (sql 2000) onto separate servers. The problem is that Windows does not (cannot) pass user authentication information to SQL server ... if they are different machines. I used Mixed authentication and added user accounts/groups to sql server to authenticate at the database. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't support this when IIS and SQL servers reside on separate machines. My understanding is that it will work in native AD environment using Kerberos delegation, but I have no way to test/validate that. Change your connection to use SQL authentication and you will be able to connect to SQL just fine. Your connectionstring should look something like this: PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB.1; Persist Security Info=False; Data Source=ip or servername; Initial Catalog=database; UID=sql_login; PWD=password Give the sql login the necessary rights to do what the application needs to do. hth, Duane www.ciber.com -Original Message- From: Ricky Boone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 7:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Unable to connect to MSSQL with PHP through a firewall I've got an odd little problem that I just can't figure out. First, let me briefly describe my setup: * Behind a firewall is a Windows 2003 Server running SQL Server 2000 with mixed mode authentication * On that same internal network is a Linux web server with Apache 2, PHP 4.3.4, FreeTDS, etc. * The firewall is setup to only allow the external web servers access to specific NAT forwarded ports (1433 TCP, 1434 UDP, 445 TCP) * At a colocation ISP is another web server running Windows 2000 Server with Apache 2, PHP 4.3.3, etc. I've written a script that connects to the SQL server for simple authentication and tracking. This script was developed on the internal Linux box. Everything works fine on this server: connecting, authenticating, queries, etc.. Running the same script on the external Windows box isn't working as well, though. Apache and PHP run just fine on this box with other scripts, but connecting to the SQL server through the firewall with the same script and settings, except for the IP address of the server (since we are connecting to the firewall's NAT'd ports), but I consistantly receive the following error: Login failed for user 'JoeShmoe'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I'm thinking either there is a problem with the SQL server's settings (somewhere, I don't know), or PHP on the external webserver, but I'm not sure what to do. I've looked all over the configurations for both servers and they look fine, checked several sites and lists for advice and couldn't find anything that would work.

RE: [PHP-DB] Saving state
From: Shiloh Madsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry about the cross posting, as im not exactly sure what would be the best method to handle this, but im trying to set up a web application with a tabbed interface. Each tab will have a form to enter data, and the requisite save and continue button. Heres where things get hard though. I want to be able to allow users to click on a previous tab to refrence, change, update, etc the information on those tabs. How do i save the state of these tabs so that they can be reaccessed? Just so you have a little more information, im trying to make a kinda simple call logging system with a customer tab which would hold customer info and a calls tab which would store call info and allow you to switch between call records. all of this data would be stored in a database, but i dont want to actually have to send a new query to the database just because the user clicked on a previous tab...if this would be possible. Also, if anyone has an idea as to how i can implement this a bit more intelligently, im open to suggestions, but the tabbed interface seemed to be the most user friendly. And yes, the web interface is important, which is why im not trying to do it in c++ or something like that. Shiloh I have done this using multiple hidden div tables /div. Works well for large forms when you want to show only a small piece of it at a time. Each tab exposes the current div table and hides the remaining tables. No need to save state because all data is on one form. It is just hidden from view until you get to the final tab and submit. If you are using any drop-downs select tags, you will need to set their visibility to 'none' along with that table because of their inherent visibilty over all other html. I have also seen this done using successive forms, posting one form to the next and creating hidden fields to save the data from one form to the next. This might be hard to handle though if you want to move forward and backward at will. Duane -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Luke, Good point, this list is set up different in that Reply ONLY replies to the individual poster, not the list. Have to use reply to all. I have added the list address to this post. To all concerned, this thread contains some off list conversation that may be of interest, particularly to the original poster. Luke, I agree, both methods will probably work well, as you said, 'depending on the situation'. To expand on the issue of retrieving previously posted data into a multi-tabbed form. In this case, I would normally show the user a list of previous posts or perform a search. Selecting a previous post would load the form with the historical data to allow reviewing one tab at a time. Just like loading any normal edit/view form, but with the tabs breaking up the form into individual parts of the same record.

Are you using the querystring to pass the name=value pairs for each form? If so, you could run into a querystring length problem if the form is large. Let me know if I got this part right. The method that uses the tabbed form never posts the data until you are completely done filling all tabs. These are not different pages, I am using DHTML to hide each successive tab. Simply hiding that tab form data and exposing the next. Completing the part of the form on each tab, then click submit only when completed on all tabs.

RE: [PHP-DB] Form Actions in PHP
Don't know if this got answered yet. I usually do this by checking the
variable before submitting the form and then adjusting the form action. It
turns out to be a JavaScript problem.
if(variable==a){
document.form.action=location_one.cgi;
}else if(var==b){
document.form.action=location_two.cgi;
}else{
document.form.action=location_default.cgi;
}
If you need to, or prefer to, check it on the server-side, then you can a
create a form with hidden fields in the first post to hold all the post
data, and then check the variable, then perform a second post using the
onload method to post to the correct program as required.
