[PHP-DB] Php mariadb unique field selection for index of query result.
Hi, Quick question. I may be missing something but for years I've been processing the output of a query into a new array using the unique(normally primary key) field in the table as the index so I can pull data matches simply further into the script without another loop through all the returned data. Is there an option I'm missing to assign a field as the output array index from a PHP based query? Thanks, -- Richard Scotford

[PHP-DB] Simple MySQL sample code runs out of memory
Running PHP 5.3.5 on FreeBSD 8.2 connecting to a MySQL 5.1.55
server.
Why does this code (below) run out of memory? It queries
test_table for all rows, all fields and sorts them by the numeric
'contract' field. It then iterates through the rows, and tallies
the number of rows per contract. That's not the end goal of the
processing, but the processing does not require storing multiple
rows in memory (except in the MySQL result buffer). One row at a
time in memory is all I need.
The schema is not huge:
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| Field| Type| Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| contract | int(11) | YES | | NULL| |
| A| int(8) unsigned | NO | | 0 | |
| B| datetime| YES | | NULL| |
| C| int(8) unsigned | YES | | 0 | |
| D| char(8) | YES | | NULL| |
| E| char(8) | YES | | | |
| F| int(4) | YES | | 0 | |
| G| int(1) | YES | | 0 | |
| H| char(8) | YES | | 00:00 | |
| I| varchar(100)| YES | | XXX | |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
?php
require_once( '../include/mysql_funcs.php' );
$db_host = $test_db_host;
$db_user = $test_db_user;
$db_name = $test_db_name;
$db_pwd = $test_db_pwd;
if (!($db_conn = mysql_connect( $db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd )))
die( Can't connect to MySQL server\n );
if (!mysql_select_db( $db_name, $db_conn ))
die( Can't connect to database $db_name\n );
$qry = select * from test_table order by contract;
if ($result = mysql_query( $qry, $db_conn )) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
while ($row) {
$c = $row[ 'contract' ];
$n = 0;
while ($row ($c == $row[ 'contract' ])) {
$n++;
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
}
echo sprintf( |%13d |%7d |\n, $c, $n );
} // while
} else {
die( mysql_error() . \n );
}
?
The output ends with:
...
|39582 |518 |
|39583 |384 |
|39584 |429 |
|39585 |433 |
|39586 |359 |
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 20 bytes) in xx2.php on line 26
Line 26 seems to be the innermost mysql_fetch_array call.
The sum of the right-hand column for all the output produced
prior to running out of memory is 274547. There are 295287 total
rows in the table.
What can I change to prevent this code from running out of memory
even with an arbitrarily large number of rows returned from the
'select' query?
Thank you for your time!

Absolutely, there's a way to do this in SQL; select contract, sum(1) from test_table group by contract But as I said, simply counting is not the intent of the actual processing that will be done. I need to find a method that can iterate through a large number of records and process each record (in whatever way I choose to define) without running out of RAM. I only need to access one record at a time, so I thought this would be pretty trivial, and was surprised to find that the routine ran out of memory. This simple counting exercise is merely a test of the loop algorithm so that I can do a 'cmp' or 'diff' comparison of the output of the PHP versus the output of the SQL to verify that in fact the PHP algorithm is indeed finding and processing each record (and thus arriving at the same per-contract counts that the SQL statement does).

Still, an inner and outer loop don't really seem necessary here, as
you're spinning through one set of data, there doesn't seem a need to

like:
$last_contract = '';
while ($row = $msql_fetch_assoc($results) {
if ($last_contract == $row['contract]) {
// do what ever you'd do with the same contract
} else {
$last_contract = $row['contract'];
// do what ever you'd do with the new contract
}
}
assuming you are ordering by contract as in the example select.
Thanks for that suggestion, also.
Something more fundamental is going on.
Here is simpler code which still reproduces the problem.
?php

$test_db_host = localhost;
$test_db_user = msm;
$test_db_pwd = EetGiOj6;

if (!mysql_select_db( $db_name, $db_conn ))
die( Can't connect to database $db_name\n );
$qry = select * from test_spot_table order by contract;
if ($result = mysql_query( $qry, $db_conn )) {
$n = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
$n++;
} // while
echo $n\n;
} else {
die( mysql_error() . \n );
}
?
I get:

Wow, working code! Thanks. I did try it:

require_once( '../include/mysql_funcs.php' );

$test_db_user = msm;
$test_db_pwd = EetGiOj6;

If phpmyadmin could not open. : page times out then click on the wamp icon again, move to Apache, then Service, and then click on Test port 80, then you should get something like -- Your port 80 is actually used by : Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.2.8 Press Enter to exit... -- if you get an error on port 80 that it is in use, check that IIS is not running on your pc and if you use skype check that you selected in the options so that skype doesnt make use of port 80 If you downloaded a new WAMP version, i would suggest that you make one minor change in the php.ini file.

Re: [PHP-DB] First and Last ID of a table
Sounds about right... you can also do something like this (syntax should be right): SELECT MIN(id) as minid, MAX(id) as maxid FROM mytable $array['minid'] and $array['maxid'] Basically it's going to be whatever the heading of that column is. Using as gives it an alias for less ugly headings. If you did SELECT COUNT(Qty) FROM SomeTable Then you might get: $array['Count of Qty'] or something goofy like that. I forget the exact circumstances but there's times you get goofy stuff like that. If you run the SQL through some DB client (like mysql's command line stuff or I use WinSQL Lite in Windows to connect to our MySQL database across the network) you can usually see what the heading name is going to end up being, if you don't explicitly set it with an AS clause. AS also works on table names: SELECT l.LeadID, ld.FirstName FROM Leads as l, LeadData as ld WHERE l.LeadID = ld.LeadID (actually a lot of the time you can leave out the as and just do Leads l) Fun times.. -TG = = = Original message = = = [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SELECT MIN(id), MAX(id) FROM mytable As an aside, is you are using associative arrays, be sure to use the following keys: $array['MIN(id)'] and $array['MAX(id)'] Just something I figured out recently :) Matt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ___ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.

Matt Here is my code: ?php $todays_year = date(Y); $todays_month = date(m); $todays_day = date(d); $tstamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $todays_month, $todays_day, $todays_year); $event_time = mysql_query(SELECT cal_id FROM egw_cal_dates where cal_start $tstamp, $db); $events = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM egw_cal WHERE cal_category='501' and cal_id='$event_time'\n, $db); if ($event = mysql_fetch_array($events)) echo center\n; echo HR\n; do echo BFont Size='10'$event[cal_title]nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;$event[cal_location]/B/Font\n; echo BR\n; echo $event[cal_description]; echo BR\n; echo HR\n; while ($event = mysql_fetch_array($events)); else echo No Public Events Are Currently Scheduled...; ? ___ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.

t2.CONTACT_NAME, t2.CONTACT_VALUE FROM Table1 as t1, Table2 as t2 WHERE t1.ID =

Hello,
I need to query two different tables and create one BIG array.
I can query both tables, but can't find a way to combine the results in one
array.
The problem comes in with the second table. It has a weird layout.
The second table only has four fields. They are: contact_id, contact_owner,
contact_name, and contact_value
a.. The 'contact_id' needs to be linked to 'id' field from the first table.
b.. The contact_name is a field I need to use to reference what i'm looking
for.
example... contact_name HAS values of RANO, PrevSys,
Supplier, Dynamic
each of them has the same contact_id different
contact_names with different contact_values
To query the second table I do something like this:
SELECT contact_value FROM egw_addressbook_extra WHERE contact_name='Supplier'
and contact_id=' XXX'
The xxx is the ID from the first table.

Table 1:
IDNAMEBUSINESS
ADDRESSCITY PHONE
1 John SmithSmith's Phone Co. 100 Main

2 Joe Brown Brown's Shoe Store105
Grant St.This City 555-0001
Table 2:

2 RANO
100105

2 Supplier
Orgill

2 Dynamic
192.168.100.0

I want to query both tables and create a array. The extra fields from table
two need to have their own field in the array.
I need to call those extra fields in the array by the contact_name field...
example $myrow[supplier] $myrow[PrepSys] $myrow[name]
I have tried alot of stuff to get this done, but i think i was very off task.
Some help/guide is needed I'm new
Thanks...
Matt

Re: [PHP-DB] 2 queries -- 1 array
Ok, in your original message you said something about using the name as
dominant key (or whatever you want to call it). All the SQL does is gather all
the data together in an associated fashion. You can use the array you build to
organize the data. I'm still not 100% sure what you're doing, so I can't say
this is the best way, but let's look at the exampe I gave and change it to
hopefully suit your last description:
$name = $row['NAME'];
$business = $row['BUSINESS'];
$address = $row['ADDRESS'];
$city = $row['CITY'];
$phone = $row['PHONE'];
$contactname = $row['CONTACT_NAME'];
$contactvalue = $row['CONTACT_VALUE'];
// $bigarray[$name][$contactname] = $contactvalue;
$bigarray[$contactname][$name] = $contactvalue;
foreach ($bigarray['Supplier'] as $name = $value) {
echo Supplier: $name has CONTACT_VALUE = $valuebr\n;
}
There may be an elegant way to do what you want in SQL too, I'm just not fully
groking the situation I think.
-TG
$name = $row['NAME'];
$business = $row['BUSINESS'];
$address = $row['ADDRESS'];
$city = $row['CITY'];
$phone = $row['PHONE'];
$contactname = $row['CONTACT_NAME'];
$contactvalue = $row['CONTACT_VALUE'];
$bigarray[$name][$contactname] = $contactvalue;
= = = Original message = = =
yeah..that is what i'm trying to do, but
I need to query WHERE contact_name='Supplier' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='RANO' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='Dynamic' and bring back the value
for contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='PrevSys' and bring back the value
for contact_value
Which are all different rows in the second table
with the same ID field
thats how they are linked to the first table
thanks...

[PHP-DB] Displaying next ten items
I am wondering what the mySQL commands are to display the next 10 records / previous 10 records. I am wondering how you pass a variable through a PHP script so the script knows which next or previous 10 entries to display. (Especially since this is all variable driven) Would you do something like ?next=21 and ?previous=1 as part of the URL link to know where your query should begin? I do know the LIMIT = mySQL command to limit 10 items to be displayed. How do you tell when there aren't 10 more entries left to display? IE If there are 46 records in a table and you are displaying 40 to 46 you don't want to offer a link to display records 50 to 59. Ron
[PHP-DB] 10 rows
I would normally just pass the offset through the get var. I understand what you are saying in concept ... but what would a sample command be like? a href=http://www.host.com/script.php?next=21;Next Link/a a href=http://www.host.com/script.php?previous=1;Previous Link/a Ron

Re: [PHP-DB] Order By [blank]
You shouldn't have to do that. the IFNULL() handles all that. If the item is null, it returns an emptry string ''. If it's blank/empty, it returns an empty string. This is just used for the comparison = ''. This determines if it's empty or null and if so, returns 'ZZ', if not, it returns the unaltered value. And again, this returned value is only used for the sorting. The values you get from select * will be unaltered. Is this more efficient than doing two SELECTs and a UNION? I have no idea. But I like to keep things as clean as possible and in my reading and experience, letting the server handle an IFNULL() function should be quicker than doing four value checks (is null, is not null, = '' and != ''), collecting the values of two SELECTS then checking to see if it's able to UNION them together. Also, less code/typing typically means less chance of typos. BTW: In my example, realistically you could probably shorten the morphed value to ZZ or ZZZ unless you think you'll values in your database that will start with and get bumped lower on the sorting. -TG = = = Original message = = = In case the blank is a null or is really a blank: select * from blank where tchar_10 is not null and tchar_10 != '' union all select * from blank where tchar_10 is null or tchar_10 = '' - Dave On 12/21/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a little weird looking, but should do the job.

Re: [PHP-DB] MSSQL Server
I had some issues a couple years ago connecting to the MS SQL Server where I

worked for me was using the ADODB database abstraction layer. Helped me
connect to MS SQL , Oracle and some other random data sources I had to from
time to time.

Sorry I don't have time to look for good examples, but maybe the documentation

I cannot connect to my MSSQL server.
I use the following connection string:
php:

$connection = mssql_connect http://php.net/mssql_connect('server','user',
'password') or die ('server connection failed');
$database = mssql_select_db http://php.net/mssql_select_db(database_name

The MSSQL server is setup to use Windows and Server Authentication. I have a
*local* dummy account setup for testing and when using this account I can
connect with no problems, but when I try and use my domain/network account I
cannot connect at all. (my network account has full access to the server,
database and tables) I can even login to the SQL Management Studio using
Windows Authentication and my network account, but still cannot connect
using PHP.
Any ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] search result error message
Sorry, don't have time to test and noodle through why yours may or may not be
working, but I see some differences in how you're doing it and how we tend to
do it here.
After doing the connection and database selection, this is how we handle stuff
(simplified):
$query = select * from sometable;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$count = mysql_affected_rows();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// do some stuff
$address = $row['address']; // example of how to get/use data returned
}
Nothing inside the while construct should execute if you get zero results.
You really don't need to use the mysql_affected_rows() either unless you want
to test for zero results and display an error message, like I believe you
wanted to do.

Hi,
The below mentioned code works fine. Connects to the database, fetches the
result, and displays neatly in a table. If there is no data then it jumps to
the if condition and displays the error message. BUT if the 'if' condition
is running and no data is present the Table headings and the bottm of empty
table is still displayed above the error message. Can you please check and
share with me as in where exactly the logic is wrong.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Page refresh and database updation
You can redirect the page to the result page after the data is saved, using header(Location: successpage.php). I've used this on several sites. It's a little extra work but does prevent the reposting of data. Another option is to use AJAX to send the data to the webserver and then have the javascript open the result page after the update is complete. I do this on several of my webpages and it works great.

[PHP-DB] ViewSonic VX724
I realized this is off topic; I am not sure where I would look online. Today I purchased a VX724 LCD monitor for my computer. I am running Fedora Core (Linux). I am not sure where I would find a driver for my monitor. ViewSonic's tech support told me they don't support the monitor directly and I would need to build my own driver.

[PHP-DB] Displaying a PDF file
I am creating a submit button on the fly. The purpose of this is to
open up a new browser window and then display the contents of a PDF
file.
The code for this button reads:
input type='button' value='Psalm 91'
onclick=window.open('index.php?request=view_prayer_ministry_documentdocument_reference=1','prayer_ministry_document_viewer','width=800,height=600,toolbars=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
The window name is prayer_ministry_document_viewer
I am trying to access document_reference 1 which is in a mySQL table.
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( Unable to select database);
$query=SELECT * FROM prayer_ministry_documents WHERE reference =
'$document_reference';
$document_result=mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
$document_file_name = mysql_result($document_result,0,document_file_name);
#now here I start to get the contents of the PDF file to display
$lineArray = file($document_file_name);
// make an empty variable first
$document_contents_to_display = ;
// concat all array element
foreach($lineArray as $eachLine) {
$eachLine = wordwrap($eachLine);
$document_contents_to_display .= $eachLine;
}
#when I try to display it the PDF it displays it as text with the various ASCII
characters ---
#what I am doing wrong / what is the correct way to do this

Re: [PHP-DB] running program after insert w/MySQL 4.1
cron or Windows Task Manager would work if you want to check the status of the data periodically, but I believe you can also use Access to hit a web address (it doesn't have to display anything) so you could, at time of insert, have Access activate a PHP script on your web server that does the database check.

RE: [PHP-DB] LIMIT
Here are some thoughts on the couple of methods shown: 1. SELECT count(*) as MyCount FROM aTable # Fast query done on server size SELECT * FROM aTable LIMIT 5 # Fast limited data return query done server side 2. SELECT * FROM aTable # Potentially slow query, lots of data stored in PHP mysql_num_rows() # Quick PHP-side function to tell how many results returned 3. SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM $table LIMIT 5 # Fast server side query that does the same as SELECT count(*) and SELECT LIMIT 5 at the same time SELECT FOUND_ROWS() # Fast server side query Seems like #1 and #3 are your best options. Both are pretty easy on your system. #3 is definitely pretty slick, thanks to whoever originally posted that. But I'm wondering if it'll be fully compatible in the future. #1 is pretty SQL 101 type stuff, so it should remain functional and be usable on other database platforms as well. That's the one I'd go for, just for the sake of keeping things simple if nothing else. Seems like a waste to do two database queries, but as long as you're not closing and re-opening the connection in between, it should cause very minimal impact on your system. Sometimes two queries are better than one. -TG = = = Original message = = = I see they call mysql_query twice which doesn't look like I'm gaining anything over running the 2 queries: SELECT count(*) as MyCount FROM aTable SELECT * FROM aTable LIMIT 5 But I suppose I need to time it for my app. http://us3.php.net/mysql_num_rows mancini at nextcode dot org 14-Nov-2005 02:24 here is a really fast mysql_num_rows alternative that makes use of the SELECT FOUND_ROWS() MySQL function , it only reads a single row and it is really helpfull if you are counting multiple tables with thousands of rows ?php function get_rows ($table) $temp = mysql_query(SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM $table LIMIT 1); $result = mysql_query(SELECT FOUND_ROWS()); $total = mysql_fetch_row($result); return $total[0]; ? +++ alex dot feinberg 4t gm41l 28-Apr-2005 04:56 Re dzver at abv dot bg's note...

Re: [PHP-DB] Select distinct field won't return distinct value
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you have something like this:
123 Joe
124 Joe
125 Sue
126 John
127 Joe
128 Frank
129 Sue
And you want to output something like:
Joe 123, 124, 127
Sue 125, 129
John 126
Frank 128
But what you're getting is:
Joe 123
Joe 124
..etc
You have two ways you can solve this:
1. Do two SQL queries:
SELECT DISTINCT cus_name FROM customers
while ($result) { // forgive the pseudo-code
SELECT cus_id FROM customers WHERE cus_name = $result['cus_name']
while ($result2) {
echo $output;
}
}
Or..
2. Collect data into an array and process 'distinctness' on output
SELECT cus_name, cus_id FROM customers
while ($result) {
$cus_arr[$cus_name][] = $cus_id;
}
foreach ($cus_arr as $cus_name = $cus_idarr) {
echo $cus_name as ids: . implode(, , $cusidarr) . br\n;
}
There may be some tricky ways in SQL to get the data the way you want it, but
ultimately it's not worth the bending over backwards for (do I remember right
that you can do it with crosstab queries? don't even know if MySQL will do
those properly). Easier just to do it with one of the methods above.
Good luck!

purchased items. so what I want is to select distinct customer name so that
I can print customer name and customer id once.

select distinct cus_name, cus_id from customers order by cus_name asc

Well, the unique ID would probably be the *best* way to go, but you could
also get the record with the below solution, of course this requires every
combination of first and last name is unique...
if you do:
$id = Smith,Adam
Then:
list($fname, $lname) = explode(,,$id);
select * from table where first_name = '$fname' and last_name='$lname'
would do the trick...
Of course this has many what-ifs asociated with it...all of which would
be taken care of with an auto-incrementing/primary key ID field for wach
record ;-)

$suggested_category_3
I have come up with this simple code to store the suggestion in a table:
if ( $suggested_category_1 ) {
#the user could leave the suggestion blank because what is already
provided is sufficient
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( Unable to select database);
$query = INSERT INTO table_name VALUES ( '$variable' ,
'$reference_number', '$suggested_category_1');
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
}
Is there any way to create a loop to check all three instead of me
repeating this code twice more changing $suggested_category_1 to _2 and
_3 ?

Re: [PHP-DB] Processing a web form / loop etc.
Hi Stutt
Thanks.
I hadn't included much of the code for easy reading.
I just had to use the $_POST[$val] to get the actual values.
Thanks for your help.
Ron
for ($num = 1; $num = 3; $num++)
{
$varname = 'suggested_category_'.$num;
$val = $$varname;
// Stick your code here replacing references to the
$suggested_category_1 var with $val
}
Incidentally, I do hope that code was simplified for brevity. There
should be extensive use of mysql_real_escape_string in there.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL/PHP Left Join Question
One thing I've done in situations like this is just load your returned DB data
into an array. Something like this would do:
$dvdarr[$result['call_number']]['Title'] = $result['title'];
$dvdarr[$result['call_number']]['Publisher'] = $result['publisher'];
$dvdarr[$result['call_number']]['Comments'][] = $result['comment'];
Put that in a loop of your results. Notice the [] on the comments. That'll
collect all your comments under the umbrella of 'Comments'.
Then when you go to do your output, you'd do something like this:
forach ($dvdarr as $callnumber = $dvddata) {
$title = $dvddata['Title'];
$publisher = $dvddata['Publisher'];
$comments = $dvddata['Comments'];
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
// do whatever
}
}
There are other ways to handle this.. this might be one of the easier ones (if
I'm understanding your problem correctly).

= = = Original message = = =
Hello, all. I don't know if this is a php-mysql question or just a
mysql, but here goes:
I have a list of DVDs that my library loans out, and I'd like to allow
people to add comments to each item. Since this list gets regenerated
periodically (it's extracted from another system, the library
catalog), there isn't a consistent ID in the dvd tables, so I'm using
the call number (which will look like DVD 2324) as the key. Anyhow, I
join the tables like this to get all the DVDs and all the comments
associated with the DVDs:
SELECT distinct dvds.title, dvds.publisher, dvds.publication_date,
dvds.call_number,
comment.id, comment.parent_id, comment.comment, comment.name
FROM dvds
LEFT JOIN comment
ON dvds.call_number=comment.parent_id
WHERE dvds.title LIKE 'A%'
ORDER BY dvds.title
With this, I'll get results like
DVD 101A.I. This movie rocked
DVD 101A.I. This Movie stunk
DVD 102Adaptation . . .
DVD 103After Hours . . .
When I loop in PHP through the records, of course, I want just the one
DVD with however many comments associated with it. Is it possible to
do this (i.e., screen out DVD dupes) in MySQL, or do I have to do it
in PHP?
If this is a dumb question, my humblest apologies, and I'd be
interested if there was a better way to handle this . . . .

Re: [PHP-DB] Adding url to google
Sounds like you're asking how to programmatically add your web site to Google's search. I didn't dig very deep, but it doesn't look like Googles API provides for the ability to submit (only search) and by Google's addurl page (http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl) it appears that they don't want you to be able to automate the adding of URLs or else they wouldn't be using CAPTCHA methods to prevent bots from spamming them.

Re: [PHP-DB] Too stupid to UPDATE...
Don't have time to totally disect it, but you might change the if($num_rows) to if($num_rows 0) just to make sure. Also, try echoing out your SQL statement to check and make sure things like $table got a real value or other silly things. Lastly, I usually use single quotes for SQL statements.. in this case, it would simplify your PHP SQL statement by removing the necessity to escape all the double quotes \ If you echo the SQL and it looks ok, try running it manually through mysql's command line or via a program like WinSQL Lite on Windows to try to isolate if it's the query or your PHP.

[PHP-DB] Web forms
I am creating some web based functions for the staff and volunteers to
use. Access to these functions is designated by those who need it.
I have two tables.
One table describes the component --- It has a component reference
number column.
The second table indicates who has access to what --- containing the
component reference number from the component table (described above)
and also the member reference number.
Essentially if you are logged in your reference number is in a session
variable and using PHP mySQL the script is checking to see which
components to allow you access to in your menu and only displaying those
menu options.
So far I have been updating this table using phpmyadmin. I have begun
writing a script to do this in a more smooth fashion.
The script I am writing produces a form in a table.
Column 1 shows the component name. Column 2 is a check box for the user
to check in if the person whose permissions are being modified should
have access to this component. I have named the check box the component
reference number --- 1 for example. There are about 16 components are
growing.
I am not sure how to check if $1 = on indicating the check box was
checked in. I know you would use an IF ( ) { } statement --- but I want
to automate this so when new components are added in I want have to
modify the script which actually updates who has access to what
component.
What I have done so far is selected all the components and started a
WHILE loop --- $i will go from 0 to 15 so I am able to look at each
check box to see if it was selected or not and then I am going to use
the INSERT INTO or DELETE commands to update the table, etc.
How can I find out if $1 and $2 and $3 and ... $15 are on?

Re: [PHP-DB] Excel to CSV
The other response is half correct.. I havn't seen anything to read data from Excel with PHP (although it's technically possible, just kind of complicated) so the easiest solution is to use Excel and just have it load the file and save it in CSV format. The part that's not entirely correct is the PHP can't talk to Excel part. It's cumbersome, but PHP can use a COM connection to control Excel (or Word or MapPoint or Access or Outlook..etc). This means you'd have to have Excel loaded on the server that was running PHP, which may not be an option. For an example of PHP + COM with Excel, check out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php Look down the page for the entry posted by flintjt at hotmail dot com If COM doesn't work for you and you don't mind getting your hands dirty, I believe you can get the Excel file format spec.. maybe through the OpenOffice sources.. and figure out how to read XLS files that way.

Re: [PHP-DB] Installing PEAR
I remember the quick install/test I did using PEAR and I kind of had a similar experience, but I figured out what the issue was for me. PEAR installed perfectly but doing the pear install thing where it pulls the package down and puts it where it needs to put it, I was doing what you were doing pear packagename and it wasn't working. What fixed it for me was adding the version number to the end of the name. Looks like PEAR DB is at 1.7.6, so try something like: pear install db1.7.6 But it also sounds like maybe you're not getting the pear install to work properly too. So maybe you need to fix something else before you get to this point. Just wanted to mention it to prevent a potential extra frustration for you.

Re: [PHP-DB] Duplicate rows
Depends on how you determine if something's a duplicate or not. For example, if it's just one column that can be used, you can do something like this: select ItemName, count(ItemName) from ItemListTable group by ItemName having count(ItemName) 1 That'll show you if ItemName is repeated. Then you can go back through and just search for ItemName and remove the ones you don't want. You can do pretty much the same thing as above but CONCATenating multple columns if that's what you need to do to determine uniqueness. I know you're dealing with 15k rows still, so you probably want something a little more automated. Without more info though, it's hard to say exactly what can be done. Hope that helps a little bit. -TG = = = Original message = = = My dear beloved friends, I have a catalog of products that a product provider gave, sadly for me, in this CSV file there are many duplicated rows.

[PHP-DB] SELECT
Yesterday I asked how to get the date time 90 minutes ago and I received several responses. Thanks. I don't think this select statement is working correctly. (Correctly being what I am intending it to do) I took a look at the table this morning. One record remains that was created 2006-01-19 at 23:55:37. These are the values of date_created and time_created. The current values are approximately 2006-01-20 and 05:50:00 This is the select statement I am writing about: SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `date_created` = '$date_90_minutes_ago' AND `time_created` = '$time_90_minutes_ago' Intellectually I know the problem: 05:50:00 is much earlier than 23:55:37 ... thus my AND is not allowing both conditions to exist together. Is there a way that I may modify this SELECT statement so the present conditions continue to exist and add a second part to the SELECT statement that if the time is 01:30:00 or higher that records from the previous day are selected? This continues to allow the 90 minute time frame for users logged into my web site ... I am not sure how you would add an OR function to the above without messing up what presently works :) (I am writing a SESSION function for my web site using mySQL and a cron.

Bastien's example is probably the quickest and easiest.

[PHP-DB] Storing money values in MySQL
Again.. your forgiveness. This is a MySQL question. If the MySQL mailing lists would include a [MySQL Help] tag in their subject lines, I'd use them. What I receive from them is difficult to distinguish from spam half the time so I gave up. We had a problem a few months ago and now I can't find my notes relating to it. The problem we had involved storing money data as either float or decimal and having the 'cents' round improperly. And it wasn't just a matter of 10.05 becoming 10.06, it was something along the lines of 10.05 becoming 10.12. This was when just a straight UPDATE was performed. I remember doing it manually, not even through PHP, using absolutely no math functions, just a totally straight: UPDATE SomeTable SET AmtOwed = 10.74 Someone made a recommendation of never use SOMETYPE for money.. you should use SOMEOTHERTYPE instead. I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to find my notes, recreate the bug in our database, search online for the discussion I had then or other information about this. So far I'm coming up empty. We're retooling some of our database and trying to make it more efficient and accurate and this is on the list of things to doublecheck. If anyone has any comments, criticisms, information, etc... I'd love to hear them. We're running MySQL 4.1.11-standard. Thanks! -TG ___ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.

Re: [PHP-DB] Refreshing text question!
Two ways I can think of to update part of a page without doing a full refresh: 1. Use an IFRAME so you're technically updating a page, but it's the page within the frame (not my favorite but works ok) 2. Or you can use asynchronous javascript (AJAX) to update just that one section of the page without doing a refresh. Here's Rasmus' great primer on AJAX, should be easy enough to follow: http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java One note I'd like to make that doesn't seem to be mentioned in a lot of AJAX tutorials. If the page your AJAX is calling doesn't have the standard do not cache tags, you sometimes won't get the results you want.. especially with Internet Explorer (in my experience).

I'm trying to sort by a date and time field(s) (two separate fields). It's a dumb system but until we do the next revision, it's going to stay the way it is (boss' orders) so bear with me. Example: ApptDate~ApptTime 2005-11-02~01:00 PM 2005-10-27~07:00 PM 2005-06-25~10:30 AM -00-00~N/A -00-00~N/A -00-00~N/A -00-00~06:30 PM See? Dumb.. hah..

If I try it with a 06:00:00 PM time, it makes it 6am. Using STR_TO_DATE() does exactly the same thing. You'd think STR_TO_DATE() would behave more like PHP's strtotime() but apparently not. I can code a big complicated conditional SQL statement, but I'm hoping there's a way to convert at least the valid date/time pairs into a happily ORDER BY'd column. I can handle the -00-00 and N/A entries with exceptions if I need to. And I would really like to do this without pre-loading the data into PHP and sorting it with PHP's sort functions.

Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:33:01 +
Hi there,
On one of my forms, there is a section where users can put images etc..and
then it is displayed on my php pages. My question is how do I make it so
that the html formatting is automatically done. For example when someone is
typing something, and wants to start a new paragraph although they press
return when typing when the data is displayed from the MySQL database on a
website it's just continuous text. For it to start a new paragraph they
have
to put p in when they are typing in this box. They do not know all the
html formatting codes, and so I need someway of making so that it is easy
for them to have formatted text without doing all the html.
Also things like changing colours, bold, italic and things would be good.
Something like on forums, where when you enter a new post you have all the
formatting options.
Hope this makes sense,
Regards,
Alex.

Re: [PHP-DB] Minor Change
This isn't really a MySQL error (sorta), it's a PHP error. You probably forgot
to update a variable name when you updated everything else.
Here's an example sequence for querying using PHP/MySQL:
$TestQY = SELECT * from SomeTable;
$TestRS = mysql_query($TestQY) or die(Error executing query);
while ($TestRW = mysql_fetch_assoc($TestRS)) {
$somearr[] = $TestRW; // do something with data
}
Since you're getting a Not a valid MySQL result resouce error with the
mysql_fetch_assoc() function, I'd search for all your mysql_fetch_assoc()
statements and double check their $TestRS. That error is saying that your
$TestRS isn't a valid MySQL result set. That could mean that $TestRS isn't
defined (maybe you're still using $TestOldRS and forgot to change a variable
name) or possibly that $TestQY is empty or bad somehow so mysql_query() isn't
generating a proper MySQL result set (try echoing out your $TestQY to see what
it is.. then try executing it manually on the MySQL server and see if you get
an error).
You can try the or die() syntax I use above to see if mysql_query() is
bombing out so you'll get notice before it even gets to the mysql_fetch_assoc().
Lastly.. someone recommended echoing out mysql_error(). Your response makes it
sound like you think that this fixes your problem. It's not going to fix
anything, just possibly give you some information about what failed. If you
get a MySQL error message from mysql_error(), please post it. It might help us
determine what the problem is.
It may not contain anything (under certain failing circumstances) so I'd step
through the things I've listed above. They may shed some light on where the
error is and then we can figure out how to fix it. Probably a typo in a
query, variable name or table name I'm guessing.
Let us know if you find anything else out.

the query to include 109fh7 (a table which doesn't exist) and got the same
result as with 109fh6. Changing to 109fh5 does pull up that table. The
line to which the error message refers is while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc
($data_set)) That is what always come up when there is an error in the
query.

You're getting an error, after the query, put:
echo mysql_error();

I made tiny changes to my php file and sql table and the table won't
come
up. I updated the table name (and php file name) from 109fh5 to 109fh6.
In the table, I changed 6 cells, leaving a couple blank. Then I changed
only the digit 5 to make it a 6 (109fh6) in the following:
$get_data_query = select rep, party, state, cd, minority, afr_am,
asian,
am_indian, hispanic, med_hsehold_income, poverty from 109fh6 order by
$sort_field $sort_order;
Now I get Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a
valid
MySQL result resource in etc.
I've done this many times without a problem (this is the 6th time in
this
sequence). What could be wrong after such a minor change?

Re: [PHP-DB] Need a Help!
Couple of things you can do:
1. Drop the song ID and only get the artist information SELECT
distinct(Artist) from songtable. It doesn't look like your SELECT statement
needs a song, but you include the song ID as $id anyway. Any reason for that or
can you drop it so you only get artist?
2. Pre-parse the results of your current query so you only get one artist
and/or compile a list of song ID's while you're at it. Instead of doing your
option in the database query result WHILE statement, do it outside:
while (results) {
$artistinfo[$artist][] = $id;
}
Then:
echo select name='blah';
foreach ($artistinfo as $artist = $songsarr) {
echo optgroup label='$artist';
foreach ($songsarr as $songid) {
echo option value='$id'$id or whatever/option;
}
echo /optgroup;
}
echo /select;
3. Use a different DB structure. I prefer this structure myself:
Table ARTISTS:
ArtistID
ArtistName
OtherArtistInfo
Table SONGS:
SongID
ArtistID
OtherSongInfo
Or, instead of having ArtistID, if more than one artist may be linked to a
song, you can do:
Table xrefArtistsSongs:
ArtistID
SongID
Not sure why you'd want to do that for a song unless you're counting covers of
songs and want all artists who've covered it to point to the same SongID data.
This way you can:
SELECT * from ARTISTS
for your ARTISTS select box
Then once an artist is selected, do a:
SELECT * from SONGS where ARTISTID = $artistid
Just some ideas.
Forgive the pseudo-code and mixed capitalizations.. I think you get the idea
I'm trying to convey.

I have table and insert data using song_id, that means one artist can have
many song_ids. my question is how can I query distinct artist with his/her
song_id while I will not get duplicate data like duplicate artist?
my code is like this
$content .=form id=\form1\ method=\post\ action=\\
select name=\Quick\ onchange=\MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)\
option value=\#\Select Artist/option;
$result= $db-sql_query(SELECT distinct(artist), id FROM
.$prefix._lyrics order by artist asc);
if ($db-sql_numrows($result))
while($row = $db-sql_fetchrow($result))
extract($row);
$content .=option value='modules.php
?name=$module_nameamp;file=artistamp;c_id=$id'$artist/option;
$content .=/select
/form;
that code is fine except it gives me duplicate artist, so I want get rid off
that duplicate. any help

[PHP-DB] Garbage collection (my session files)
I have specified a directory for the session files to be stored in. But by doing so the garbage collection function isn't automatically deleting them. Is there a way I can do so --- Either with a cron or something like this? Ron -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] SELECT
I am trying to put together a SELECT syntax. I am querying a response database and I only want to obtain each user's name once even if they have given more than 1 response. $query=SELECT * FROM conversation_table WHERE conversation_reference = $conversation_currently_displayed; $response_created_by = mysql_result($result,$i,response_created_by); My ideal is that if users 1, 2, 4 5 are in dialogue with each other the above SELECT $query will only give the results of their identity once with the mysql_request() function Thanks for your help.

[PHP-DB] Ending session
How do you actually end $_session variables so the session actually ends? I found the session_write_close() command. I am not sure if this is the correct command or not. One prime example I am using is a $_session variable to track which user account is active. I want to have a log off button which closes the session off.
