Subject: [PHP-DB] Tree structure - how to show only current branch ??
Ok, Tom Reed got my thinker running big time ... and I've been trying to
build an expandable and modifiable tree structure where it only displays
the branch leading to the current folder... Showing the entire tree is
easy, but how do I change the code to only display the branch we need???
... I've never coded visual trees before, so this is new for me ...
Found several samples with google where the code relies on the structure
being fixed in the DB. What I want to create is the possibility to mode
folders around within the tree ... literally moving branches from one
place
to another, while retaining their content.
DB structure is simply this (I want to get rid of the level field if
it's
at all possible to count the levels with recursive functions, but for
now
it stays).
folderID int(10) UNSIGNED auto-increment
parentID int(10) UNSIGNED
level tinyint(3) UNSIGNED
name varchar(255)
(I'm fully aware that int may be overkill, but this is for testing
purposes...)
test data:

Current code looks like this, the 2 subfunctions prints the branches,
the
main function below prints the root structure...:
function count_children($parentID) {
// count number of children in folder
$count = mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(*) AS num_children FROM folders
WHERE
`parentID`='$parentID');
$numrows = mysql_fetch_array($count);
return $numrows['num_children'];
}
function print_children($parentID) {
// print the branch of sub-folders
$children = mysql_query(SELECT folderID,level,name FROM folders
WHERE
`parentID`='$parentID');
while($child = mysql_fetch_array($children)) {
$folderID = $child['folderID'];
$name = $child['name'];
$level = $child['level'];
for ($i = 0; $i $level; $i++) {
echo('middot');
}
echo(middot; a
href=\test1.php?folderID=$folderID\$name/abr\n);
// let's find children... recursive call !!
if (count_children($folderID) 0) {
print_children($folderID);
}
}
}
// get root parents -- main tree function
$parents = mysql_query(SELECT folderID,name FROM folders WHERE
`parentID`='0');
while($folder = mysql_fetch_array($parents)) {
$folderID = $folder['folderID'];
$name = $folder['name'];
echo(middot; a
href=\test1.php?folderID=$folderID\$name/abr\n);
// let's find children...
if (count_children($folderID) 0) {
print_children($folderID);
}
}
The output of all this looks like this:

RE: [PHP-DB] Automatically Refreshing png-Image'd Web Page
I might be reading this wrong, but I do not think you should put your meta refresh request in the png creation script. It should be in the html body script. Index.php Meta-refresh to call itself in 30 secs Call to img src=php_radio_image_creation_script.php php_radio_image_creation_script.php header(Content-type: image/png) Echo image content Hopefully this sudo code is enough to get what I am trying to say.

Numerous radioactivity sensors throughout the building send their readings to a MySQL dB, and the web page queries the dB, and depending on the readings, the areas specific to the sensors will appear green for normal, yellow for high but acceptable, and red for critical. All this works OK. The Problem: Neither the HTML nor JavaScript code I usually use for automatically refreshing a page has any effect if the header(Content-type: image/png) necessary for displaying the png image is included. If I comment out the header() line, the page refreshes, but the image data comes through as hieroglyphics. Obviously, I need to refresh the page to get the latest data, and to create and display the corresponding image.

RE: [PHP-DB] ?DHTML Layers with PHP?
This JS script is awesome. I work with Oracle Portal and a guy modified
it to read portal hierarchies so I know it can read dynamic data with
modification.
http://www.destroydrop.com/javascripts/tree/
I believe you just have to be able to create the parent child
relationships and display them in a js include like this:
script type=text/javascript src=dynamic_page.php
/script
With dynamic_page.php containing links like:
!--
d = new dTree('d');
d.add(44273,-1,'Corporate Documents');
d.add(44273,1,'Corporate
Documents','http://www.someserver.com/portal/page?_pageid=73,44273','Fol

document.write(d);

I am not sure of a ready made php script that can do what you want, but
I know it can be done.

AND a(n) OR ... OR z(1) AND ... AND z(p) Each AND group contains 1 or more rules. Therefore, to model input rules: - store atomic rules in a table - store AND rule groups in a table (1-n relation to the atomic table) - store full rules in a table (1-n relation to the AND table) Now you can model output rules likewise, and finally create a table of associations between input and output rules Problem is: once you've flattened your rules to the canonical form, they can become illegible.

Some Foundry routers do this already and if I cannot do it server side I am going to consider that option. I am just wondering if any one knows of anything. Thanks, Paul Here is an example of what I want to setup. === All domains will have the same IP address. I want all traffic that comes in over port 80 on that IP address to be handled by my routing server. The server will send windows traffic to the windows machine and Linux traffic to one of the Linux machines based on availability and load. I want the routing server to determine what traffic goes where based on the host name (www.domain1.com or www.domain2.com). Below is a quick sketch. www.domain1.com - Linux Server (12) Domain1 will go to Linux Server1 and Linux Server2 in my backend network. It will be the load balanced server. www.domain2.com - Windows Server1 Domain2 will go to my Windows Server. The host name will tell the routing server to send the request to the Windows server. The Windows server will determine which virtual site to serve based on the proxied host name (Domain2) and then return the correct info. www.domain3.com - Windows Server1 Domain3 will also go to my Windows Server. The host name will tell the routing server to send the request to the Windows server.

files. You just have to specify the default $_server and file upload
params. The other option is change the php.ini file for that dir or
globally.

Subject: [PHP-DB] php-db globals turned off
How do most of you handle variables in next page after passing.
For instance. What I have right now (very ugly) is:
$email = $_POST['emal'];
$first = $_POST['first'];
$lastl = $_POST['last'];
Then I work with $email, $first etc...
I will have to do this for many, many variables which doesnt seem very
efficient.
I tried:
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value)
$key = $value;
but that didnt work...but I can print them out.
but even if this did work - this wouldnt handle the 2 sets of arrays I
have.
Does anybody have any snippets for this ... ???
Thanks

RE: [PHP-DB] php-db globals turned off
As mentioned in my first email, PHP and myself think turning the global var reg off is a good thing, especially for inexperienced coders and var definition. $email = $_POST['email'] makes a difference is you are dealing with an application that was built during the 90% of PHP's lifetime where reg global vars was turned on and you want to use that application with your server where with 4.3.2 - it is turned off. Basically $_POST['email'] is already referred to as $email in thousands of lines of code and instead of trying to convert them (legacy application), you just use the extract function. Hope that is a bit clearer. - Paul -Original Message- From: John W.

RE: [PHP-DB] Images stored in a db - how to get them?
While I totally agree with Ryan, there are instances where I have found
that people do not follow best practices, namely Oracle (Oracle File
Storage) and many MySQL/PHP programs out there (OPT and Help Center
Live). So here is some code addressing both.
You would probably need an interpreter file. Something like image.php
and call images like image.php?ID=house.
Then in your code, you grab the blob or file info and print it out after
you set the headers like this:
=
THE DB OPTION (local file system storage):
=
?php
$sql = select image_blob_column, mime_type
from images
where image_ext_id = '$ID';
$results = sql_query($sql, $db_id);
if ($row_file = sql_fetch_array($results)){
// Set the headers
Header(Content-Type: .$row_file[mime_type]); // Gif or Jpeg
Header(Content-Disposition: inline); // Tells the browser to
display it
// in the
browser if it is opened up by itself
Header(Content-Length:
.count($row_file[image_blob_column]));
echo $row_file[image_blob_column];
}
?
=
THE FILE OPTION (local file system storage):
=
?php
$sql = select file_path, mime_type
from images
where image_ext_id = '$ID';
$results = sql_query($sql, $db_id);
if ($row_file = sql_fetch_array($results)){
// Set the headers
Header(Content-Type: .$row_file[mime_type]); // Gif or Jpeg
Header(Content-Disposition: inline); // Tells the browser to
display it
// in the
browser if it is opened up by itself
Header(Content-Length: .filesize($row_file[file_path]));
$fp=fopen($row_file[file_path], rb);
fpassthru($fp);
}
?
The GD library is for creating new images using specified parameters or
editing an image.

about once a quarter this question comes up and the answer is always
the same. Don't store them in the database, just store filenames and
store the files in the filesystem. That way you just generate a link and
treat it like any other image. Then when you query the database you
would create img tags with src property set to the image. You probably
don't want to store FULL path info, just enough to find the image.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Images stored in a db - how to get them?
Hello All,
I am interested in storing images in a table. My question is - What is
the proper way of retrieving the images and displaying them on a web
page?
Will I need to go through the GD library and create an image from the
information stored in the table?
While PHP is not new to me, images in db's is. Specifically, when info
is returned, it's usually in the form of:
$var=$row['FieldName'];
What would I then do with the 'BLOB' information? Is that where the GD
image tools come in play?
Any URL's or small hints to point in the right direction would be
very much appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Oh ya, one more thing, I am going to integrate SQL Relay with the PHP abstraction layer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlalphp to give the functions a more PHP feel to them.

PEAR is great from what I hear. The issue you are going to run into with DB independence is not the function calls which could be handled with something as simple as sqlalphp.

[PHP-DB] Architecture Question - Opinion
All, I am considering moving to a true 3-tier structure where the web server does not have direct access to the database server - many times a government requirement. I want to keep the PHP front end and use an application server (middle tier) to handle all the DB calls and sessions. I could use Java or something for the middle layer, but I do not really want to. I would like to implement a PHP application server sitting on top of SQL Relay for pooling and DB abstraction to reduce the need to have more expertise necessary for implementation. Interoperability is important, but not 100% necessary. With all that being said, what do you think is the best method of communication between PHP and the application server. Just to throw it out there, I have thought about SOAP and XML-RPC. I like SOAP better because it can decrease payload a great deal by not having to use the whole struct method and it is more complex. But the XML-RPC functions are written in C and the SOAP are in PHP. PHP 5 has better object orientation and new XML libs so the SOAP functions should run much faster, but still not native. What are your thoughts? - Paul
RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Architecture Question - Opinion
That is the major issue at hand, the slow Live DB calls. Is there any way around it while maintaining the constraints listed below using another method of standard communication. Is the slow going to be unacceptable? I used SOAP to call an off site document server and that was slow. I do not think that is a good comparison because my two servers would be on the same gigabit network. I am mostly worried about the web server, app server and DB server all being on different machines and the SOAP layer adding an unacceptable amount of lag in the already heavy backend. callSOAP client call---SOAP server translation-DB call--Data call-SOAP client acceptance---SOAP server transmission-DB response-Base - Paul = I believe people are working on a SOAP extension to PHP in C, but I could be mistaken. I like SOAP myself, it means easy interoperability with any language with a SOAP implementation. The downside is slow processing. Live DB calls on the webserver will be fairly slow. -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -Original Message- From: Justin Patrin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 12:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: Architecture Question - Opinion Paul Miller wrote: All, I am considering moving to a true 3-tier structure where the web server does not have direct access to the database server - many times a government requirement.
