Question is how to properly form a LEFT JOIN using
UPDATE... I tried:
UPDATE product_price LEFT JOIN temp

WHERE temp.product_id IS NOT NULL
I just read http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/P/UPDATE.html once more,
but can not find anything about mysql supporting JOIN in UPDATE
statements.
I believe Lutz is right. You are using PHP, right? Any MySQL?
Some RDBMS systems provide ways of linking database table records to each
other via foreign keys and others allow you to create triggers that are
performed by the database server when certain actions happen.
MySQL does not. They believe the application programmer should take care of
those application pieces.
So, if you're using MySQL, do the select statement first with the join, then
loop through the results and perform the update.

Re: [PHP-DB] Storing Credit Card info
Hi olinux, If I understand what you are saying...I would use mcrypt and encrypt the stored info, keeping the KEY and IV in a separate location for when you need it. Chances that anybody will break the triple des encryption without the KEY and IV are slim to none. That way, you don't have to freak out about moving the information around, that is, until it has been decrypted. In order to convert the KEY and IV into a normal string, you need to use some base64 conversion function, I don't remember where I got that or if it was built into PHP when I did it, but I was able to get it to work pretty quickly. PHPs hooks into the mcrypt libraries are the best. So easy to use(and high quality) compared to anything else I've seen.

Re: [PHP-DB] Storing Credit Card info - Encryption Functions
Hi olinux,
This is what I ended up doing. This will work if you have a PHP that was
compiled with mcrypt as it is, just pass the info to your encrypt and
decrypt functions. The key I used is 123 but you can use something
different. The Initialization Vector is hard coded, but there is a function
that will generate a new one for you. Look at the mcrypt_encrypt and
mcrypt_decrypt functions at php.net for details. I lifted the hex2bin() from
the user comments If I remember correctly.
Have Fun...

Perhaps Communigate Pro has a sendmail type wrapper that you can point the
php sendmail value to. I've heard that qmail has such a script. Check with
CG Pro support for more info.
Another option would be to use Manuel Lemos' excellent SMTP class for
sending you email directly through an smtp server.

I don't know of any built in PHP functions that do what you are looking to

nothing that treats it as SQL.
You might want to try the PEAR repository to see if they have anything, but

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Perl DBI::CSV module
allows you to use a CSV file as a simple SQL database. Very nice if you
don't have a real database to work with (which in this case, Mr. Barton
doesn't).
I was at a workshop by Randal Schwartz where he showed a bit of how to use
it. Very cool...

Take out the while statement--
i.e. simply use:

the way you have things constructed now, the while statement
evaluates true on the first iteration and $row equals the result row
from the query. Because the while returned true, it is evaluated a

Why would that matter? He still sets the column variables on the first

I've created a query which returns 1 record. This is confirmed when testing

Now PHP sees that there is 1 record in the result, but is completely

The css responsible for that page does not change the color of the text so

[PHP-DB] Intro to PEAR:DB
Now for the $15,000 question: does anyone else agree with this ? If PEAR::DB is not abstracting the database what is the purpose of such a library ? I would suggest that Alexander's list of reasons for using PEAR:DB should be written up in some introductory section to the manual for PEAR DB along with some comment about the difference between a Unified DB and a Database Abstraction Layer (based on some of Manual's remarks on the difference and pointing to Metabase as an alternative for the latter). a) unifed API You havn't to think about the name of the command to send a query, connecting... I agree. I think it is a Unified API where a Unified API is defined as a common interface to connect to a db, execute queries, fetch the result and report errors. b) it offers helpful functionality I.e. don't care about quoting and escaping in SQL-Statments, the query command does it for you. PEAR:DB contains different possibilties to access the result set... (Yes you can write such functions too, but why recreate the wheel?) I agree. Where helpful functionality is defined as: 1. Deals with quoting and escaping of SQL-Statements 2. Provides different access methods for result sets 3. Provides an array of error trapping and error reporting features for debugging 4. Provides higher level constructs for connecting to a db, issuing queries, and accessing result sets 5. Provides a studly caps API for connecting to a db, issuing queries, and accessing result sets 6. Add your own to this list c) _helps_ to keep portability You have 'only' to change the SQL-statments, not the functions. I agree again. IMO, comments like these would be helpful in the intro to PEAR: DB. T Cox raises the point that we might be defining PEAR:DB into a corner where all it really consists of are features that are useful to developers. While I agree with that sentiment I also think it would be helpful if the there were some explicit remarks about what PEAR:DB currently offers to the web developer community. Saying that it consists of features that are useful to developers doesn't convey much to someone who is wondering whether to use it or not - it is not an actionable comment. At some point a long detailed article also needs to be written about what portable database programming really consists off. It would also be good to have a FAQ that deals with some of the work arounds that you need to use to deal with portability issues. For example, what if you rely on the autoincrementing feature in MySQL but Postgresql doesn't support it? What work around causes the least amount of reprogramming of db code when you switch from using MySQL to PostgreSQL for example.

[PHP-DB] MS Access Error
Hello,
I'm just beginning experimenting with MS Access and PHP. I found all the
tutorials online that explain how to create a DSN for my existing Access
database, and went through the procedure fine. The DSN I chose is
prototype and the database does not have a username or password. I then
created a very simple script:
HTML
HEAD
TITLEAccess connection/TITLE
BODY
?php
#Open a connection to an access database
$connection = odbc_connect(prototype,,);
if ($connection){
echo Connection establishedbr\n;
} else {
echo Connection NOT establishedbr\n;
}
?
When running this file, I get the following output:
Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft
Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened
exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data., SQL
state S1000 in SQLConnect in D:\www\Lalli\php\access.php on line 7
Connection NOT established
The server is running MS WinNT 4.0 SP6, with PHP 4.0. Can anyone help me
out?
Thank you,
Paul Lalli

[PHP-DB] PHP4 Compile using Informix Client SDK
Hi, I have SuSe Linux v7.2 with working versions of Apache and MySQL. The problem now is that I need to access an Informix Online v7.3 database running on a separate AIX server. This server has I-Net serving ODBC calls from Windows PC's. I've downloaded the Linux version of the Informix Client SDK and installed it. What happens next? From looking at the documentation (which isn't too clear), it looks as though I need to compile the ODBC libraries directly into PHP. How do I do that? Which libraries should I use? Could I use iODBC to act as a front end? I used this on a different site where I had Openlink ODBC installed. Could I use Openlink ODBC clients to go across I-Net? If anyone could help, I'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question...
In order to have your value preset in the drop down list you need
indicate that with
option value=\blahblah\ selectedblahblah
What I've been using for this is a hash like this:
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$selected = array();
$selected[$row[store]] = selected;
$store=$row[store];
$jobdesc=$row[jobdesc];
echo FORM METHOD=post ACTION=update.php;
echo PStore:;
echo Select NAME=NameOfVariableToBePosted
echo option VALUE=\Signal Hill\ . $selected[Signal
Hill] . Signal Hill;
echo option VALUE=\Reseda\ . $selected[Reseda] .
Reseda;
...etc, etc., etc.
something along those lines, anyway. So, if $row[store] == Signal
Hill, then $selected[Signal Hill] will be set to selected, while
$selected[Reseda] and all the others will be blank.
This is a very keen thing about php.

How and where did you intsall interbase - it's been a while so I forget.
I think the rpm version installs itself in /opt/interbase (you can check
with rpm -ql interbase). If that is the case then you need to configure
with
./configure --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs --with-interbase=/opt/interbase

Re: [PHP-DB] How can you hide database login passwd in yourscript?
That does not stop another php user fopen'ing your config file. This is a point that needs to be stressed. The other posts about keeping db connection info outside of the web tree and naming the files .php are good ones, but even with them, there can be major security problems on a shared virtual host, which many / most hosting providers provide. For example, a malicious user gets an account on a shared host with PHP (probably Perl, too) installed. They then do an fopen on the /etc/passwd file to see which users are on the machine and where their directories are. If shadow passwords aren't used, they also get the encrypted password. With that knowledge they can use the standard PHP directory commands like dir to get a listing of all the files in a user's home directory and then they can fopen whichever one they'd like. In these setups, the same user (nobody, www, etc.) has read access to all of these files. If it didn't, you script wouldn't work. Once a user finds a password for a mysql database, they can just: DROP database_name or DELETE FROM table_name Possible solutions: 1) Run your own server (not possible in many cases) 2) Run php in safe mode (something a hosting provider must do, will break some/many apps) 3) Make sure that your mysql users have only the necessary permissions, i.e., don't give the user insert/update/delete privs if they only need to SELECT. 4) Don't store sensitive data in databases on shared servers. 5) Backup everything from databases regularly and hope you never really need to use them. Hope that helps.

Hi, Does anybody have an idea on how I could install the oracle client/libraries required to build PHP with OCI support without using the OUI. The server is headless, and behind a firewalls, so X-Server is not an option, it also has no local CD-Rom, just to add to the problem. Platform := Solaris 8. I will attempt installing the client onto a similar machine, and extracting the components required to make a working client ?? but there must be a better way.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Modules and multiple database

While you CAN do it, it has a tendency to reuse the last connection even in lieu of a specific database. Right now we're using mysql_db_query() to get around it, but with that becoming deprecated, we need to find anothe solution. Before each query (from a different database), you can call the function; mysql_select_db($database_name, $connection_id) You can also specify the connection id for your queries: mysql_query($query, $connection_id) Just make sure that you select the db before each query otherwise a query will use the last selected database.

Re: [PHP-DB] Submit forms

It writes a SELECT query using WHERE (Field LIKE '%thingy%') where thingy is the word entered in the form. It works fine if the submit button is pressed, but if you press return after typing the word, instead, it fails and writes nothing for the query, so it ends up like WHERE () Browsers differ on how they interpret the hitting of the return key and which fields get submitted. I'd guess you have an input type='submit' name='submit' value='yes' type field and you are checking isset($submit). Some browsers (Netscape on the Mac, for example) won't submit the name-value pair associated with the button. One solution is to do this instead: input type=hidden name=submit value=yes input type=submit value=Search! No matter how the form is submitted, the submit variable will be set to yes.

Are you calling mysql_fetch_array before this in your code, perhaps to see
if there is a result? If so, that's the problem. Each call to
mysql_fetch_array (mysql_fetch_row) increments the array pointer.
If that isn't your problem, please post more of the code so that we can make
a better diagnosis.

[PHP-DB] mysql_[p]connect() and mysql_error()/mysql_errno()
I see in the PHP 4.0.6 release notes that mysql_error() and mysql_errno()
have been fixed so that you can get error information from them when
a connect call fails. (Previously they worked only after successfully
establishing a connection, so that you had to use $php_errormsg with
track_errors turned on to get connection error information.)
I want to write connection code that takes advantage of this, so that
it uses the MySQL error functions if they're the fixed versions, and
falls back to $php_errormsg otherwise. Does the following look reasonable?
if (!($conn_id = @mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password)))
{
# If mysql_errno()/mysql_error() work for failed connections, use
# them (invoke with no arguments). Otherwise, use $php_errormsg.
if (mysql_errno ())
{
die (sprintf (Cannot connect to database server: %s (%d)\n,
htmlspecialchars (mysql_error ()),
mysql_errno ()));
}
else
{
die (Cannot connect to database server:
. htmlspecialchars ($php_errormsg) . \n);
}
}
I'm assuming that the proper way to invoke mysql_error()/mysql_errno()
after a failed connection is with *no* argument, because when a failure
occurs $conn_id won't have any reasonable value and shouldn't be passed
to those functions.

[PHP-DB] PhpMyAdmin phpPgAdmin Security Issues
I don't know how many of you on this list are also on Bugtraq, but there were some *very* interesting posts there this morning by Shaun Clowes. You can see them at: http://www.securereality.com.au/archives.html The relevant links to look at are A Study in Scarlet: http://www.securereality.com.au/studyinscarlet.txt And: (SRPRE1) phpMyAdmin 2.1.0 and phpPgAdmin 2.2.1 http://www.securereality.com.au/srpre1.html I imagine that many on this list do use phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin so this post is very important. Basically, depending on configuration, any user on the web can use phpMyAdmin to view sensitive files (/etc/passwd), etc. There is a patch available. The Study in Scarlet goes into details about other common PHP security breaches, and a little about how to avoid them. The problems aren't *so* bad if you're running your own server and access is only given to a few trusted developers. You could probably retrain everyone to use $HTTP_GET_VARS, etc. However, there could be a multitude of problems on hosts with multiple virtual users. For example, the above exploit could be used to get a list of the users and home directories in /etc/passwd and then a malicious user could view directory listings and file contents from another user's directory. That could lead to database passwords escaping and other local users modifying your data. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to seeing Rasmus, Andi, Zeev, Stig etc. respond to this.

[PHP-DB] PEAR DB, prepare(), and placeholders
Question 1:
When using PEAR DB, are you supposed to be able to use a prepared statement
multiple times? I would suppose yes, but when I execute the code below,
the second use of the prepared statement results in an error:
$stmt = $conn-prepare (INSERT INTO abc (i, c) VALUES (?, ?));
if (DB::isError ($stmt))
die (prepare() failed: . $stmt-getMessage () . \n);
$result = $conn-execute ($stmt, array (4, d));
if (DB::isError ($result))
die (execute() failed: . $result-getMessage () . \n);
$result = $conn-execute ($stmt, array (5, e));
if (DB::isError ($result))
die (execute() 2 failed: . $result-getMessage () . \n);
The error message from the script is:
execute() 2 failed: DB Error: syntax error
I'm using MySQL. The queries that show up in the MySQL log file are:
23304 Query INSERT INTO abc (i, c) VALUES ('4', 'd')
23304 Query Object
Looks to me like $stmt is being munged?
Question 2:
How to you bind a NULL value to a placeholder? In DBI, you use undef
to stick a NULL into a query; in PEAR DB, I tried both null and an unset
variable, with the result that an empty string was placed into the query
string in both cases.

At 9:05 AM +0100 6/22/01, Russ Michell wrote: Is this a new use of the function mysql_num_rows? No!. It's not a change in syntax, but it is a change in PHP's behavior. In PHP 4, mysql_num_rows() and mysql_num_fields() will issue error messages if the argument is not a result set. In PHP 3 they didn't seem to do this. This may account for the new error messages after updating PHP. You can use the @ to 'suppress error messages' that may reveal delicate information to users such as paths to directories on your server. It can be preppended to almost any php function likely to result in an error, if used incorrectly.

Basically you need to use the modulus operator.
Here's a rough example (untested):
?php
// set number of rows
$n = 4;
// initialize cell count
$c = 0;
// start table code (omitted)
echo 'tr';
// perform your query (omitted)
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query,$conn)) {
// make a new row if we reached the end of one
// but don't do it for the first row.
if ($c % $n == 0 $c = $n) {
echo '/trtr';
}
echo 'td';
// spit out all your mysql fields (omitted)
echo '/td';
// increment your cellcounter;
$c++;
}
// make sure you don't have a malformed table
while ($c % $n != 0) {
echo 'tdnbsp;/td';
$c++;
}
echo '/tr';
// end table code (omitted)
?
Hope that helps.

Please Note: I don't use Informix, but the following is an educated guess.
Even though it isn't an enumerated array, you should be able to get the
value using the name of the key. For example, to set your new query, you
would have something like:
/* DB Connect stuff precedes this as in example on:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.ifx-fetch-row.php */
while ifx_fetch_row($rid) {
$my_new_query =
'SELECT * FROM shipping WHERE orderdate = ' . $row['orderdate'] . '';
/* Now, take that query and do something with it. Call ifx_query or
something.*/
}
You could also just go through all the results in a similar fashion and set:
$orderdate = $row['orderdate'];
$ordertotal = $row['ordertotal'];
Hope that helps.

I'm kind of new to php so there may be an obvious answer but I can't

Look at the PHP FAQ, it's a great place to start:
http://php.net/FAQ.php
In pure HTML there is of course no problem, the image is still used as a
submit button but... the submit type is being passed on to a php script
( ...if ($submit) {...) that makes a qeary to a mysql database. When I
change the type=submit to type=image the script doesn't pick up the
submit value anymore, so nothing happens.

7.13. I'm trying to use an input type=image tag, but the $foo.x and
$foo.y variables aren't available. Where are they?
When submitting a form, it is possible to use an image instead of the
standard submit button with a tag like:
input type=image SRC=image.gif NAME=foo
When the user clicks somewhere on the image, the accompanying form will be
transmitted to the server with two additional variables: foo.x and foo.y.
Because $foo.x and $foo.y are invalid variable names in PHP, they are
automagically converted to $foo_x and $foo_y. That is, the periods are
replaced with underscores.

So basically, instead of checking for $submit, do something like:
... if (isset($submit_x)) { ...

Maybe it's because the if statement doesn't have an ending }. Of course, it
could have been snipped for brevity. I assume that somewhere in the code
you have the connection made and the database selected.
Can you try this?
?php
if (mysql_num_rows($result) 0) {
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
printf("%s\nbr", $myrow['headline']);
printf("%s\n", $myrow['body']);
}
} else {
echo 'No results found!';
}
?
The above is untested but I think it will work. :)
Hope that helps,

SELECT substring_index( body, ". ", 2) FROM news;
This works great from the mysql client but when I try it using php with
this:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT substring_index(body, "." ,2) FROM news"
The way you have this written, PHP is using the . for concatenation. To fix
the problem you need to alternate or escape the quotes, i.e. :
$result = mysql_query("SELECT substring_index(body, \".\" ,2) FROM news"
or
$result = mysql_query('SELECT substring_index(body, "." ,2) FROM news'
or
$result = mysql_query("SELECT substring_index(body, '.' ,2) FROM news"

[PHP-DB] ocibindbyname: ORA-01008: not all variables bound
Hello, The goal here is to insert a single row, then get a numerical value "id" (generated by the insert trigger) to use in another insert statement. I get, "ORA-01008: not all variables bound" when running this script: ? $query = "insert into table (col1, col2) values ($val1,$val2) returning id into :id"; $parsed = OCIParse($connection,$query); OCIBindByName($parsed,":id",$id,-1); // execute first insert $cursor = OCIExecute($parsed); // construct and execute 2nd insert $query2="insert into table2(id,etc) values (:id, $etc)"; $parsed2 = OCIParse($connection,$query2); $cursor2 = OCIExecute($parsed2); ? It seems so simple. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [PHP-DB] Connecting to Oracle
Joe,
I have had some tough problems changing SIDs in oracle via PHP. If your
tnsnames.ora file correctly defines the SID, you may not need to declare it
again via PHP.
if you run phpinfo(), see if these values are already defined, and then try
to connect with default values...

I'm not looking forward to this... Due to circumstances beyond my
control,
I will be forced into a similar configuration soon.
Try putenv("ORACLE_SID=WKDS.world");
If your sqlnet.ora does does not specify .world as the default domain,
then
that may be the problem.
Was your TNSNAMES.ORA file ftp'd from somewhere to where it is now?
If so, did you use the ascii or text mode option?

Hello,
I have problems connecting with PHP to Oracle.
- Operating system is Windows 95
- Apache version is 1.3.14
- The PHP version is 4.04pl1 (NuSphere 1.13.6)
- The line "extension=php_oracle.dll" is active in php.ini
- De Oracle Database version is 7.3.4.0.0
- De SQL*NET client version is 2.3.4.0.0
- Using the SQL PLUS 3.3.4.0.0 client on this machine works fine:
- The ociw32.dll file is in the path of the webserver
The test program is:
?php
putenv('ORACLE_HOME=c:\orawin95');
putenv("ORACLE_SID=WKDS");
$conn = ora_logon("hgj@wkds", "hgj");
?
The result is:
Warning: Unable to connect to ORACLE (ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve
service name) in /www/data/ontwikkel/test/php/test3.php on line 4
I have lookup the ORA-12154 error and it talks about the tnsnames.ora
file, this file is located in c:\orawin95\network\admin\ and I have set
ORACLE_HOME to c:\orawin95, so it must find that file, the part
of the database in tnsnames.ora is below.

Re: [PHP-DB] php client -- informix-se
Hello Luigi, I'm afraid before you're able to use the informix database it will have to be upgraded to at least version 7.x. We have SCO Openserver 5.0.4 running the Informix SE 7.2 with PHP4 and Apache and all works well. We too have an NT server but would not even entertain the idea of running the web server from there.

Re: [PHP-DB] ENUM type
At 9:49 PM +0700 1/15/01, Cahyo S. Aji wrote: I don't know what is the benefit if we use ENUM type. can everybody explain it? Examples: It looks like a character column, but it's represented as an integer, so operations on it can be quite fast. The numeric representation also takes less space, in most cases. By using it, you make the legal values for a column explicit in the column definition. You can look up the legal values for the column from within programs. For example, you can parse SHOW COLUMNS LIKE 'col_name' output to get the legal enumeration values, then use them to construct a set of radio buttons or a popup menu in a web form. That way your form always presents exactly the legal options for the column. You can also use the column definition when validating submitted forms to make sure the value submitted is legal. -- Paul DuBois, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
