[PHP-DB] AUTO_INCREMENT problemos
Hi Wondering if anybody can help with this: My table has an INT column named 'member_id' which is set to AUTO_INCREMENT. It works very well but I have inserted and deleted some test rows during the development stage and now my incremented numbers have jumped ahead. The deleted rows (their member_id values) have not been forgotten it seems and the DB is using them still to evaluate the next number. Any ideas?

[PHP-DB] form variables not beeing passed to next page

[PHP-DB] Erratic isset()
Hi
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
The DB update only happens when I change the if(isset($submit)) to read
if(!isset($submit)).
Yes, I am using PHP 4.0.6 but have also tried with PHP 4.2.2, same problem.
Code snippet:
//HTML
";
mysql_select_db("sff") or die("Could not select database");
$doit1 = "INSERT INTO members
VALUES(NULL,'$first_name','$last_name','$addr1',
'$addr2','$postnummer','$postort','$land','$tel','$mob','$email','$memb_date
','$comments')";
mysql_query($doit1); //put the data in members table
printf ("Database updated. Enter a new member?");
/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($link);
endif;
?>
//print HTML form etc...

[PHP-DB] Problem with writing to database. Possibly a CLOB error...
Hi,
I get the following error when I try and write to the database on only

it because I'm using a loop to enter the data? Can anyone help please?

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Array help needed :-(
You may want to revisit your db design, but if it is like that for reason
then it is simple enough to associate these items with each other in an
array.
Just put together a query then get the row and split it by the commas then
put it into an array as follows.
$ar = Array('small' => '1.99', 'medium' => '2.99', 'large' => '3,99');
Then you can access these values by the following.
$smvalue = $ar['small']
This example is a simple array, if you had a lot of products you could use a
multi dimensional array like this.
$ar = Array( 'hotdogs' => Array('small' => '1.99', 'medium' => '2.99',
'large' => '3,99'),
'burgers' => Array('small' => '2.99', 'medium' => '4.99',
'large' => '6,99'))
Then access them like this
$smallburger = $ar['burger']['small']
Hope this helps.

I think you may have a problem with your database design? Can you explain
a little more exactly what it is you are trying to do and perhaps someone
can advise on how your data might best be structured.

RE: [PHP-DB] Dynamic data from user file
Sean, Not sure if this helps, but when I developed an in house app for my company I have to migrate from very messy access db to mysql and I still have to import once a week from the old db as other people still use it. I just setup an array with oldtable and newtable then oldfield, newfield etc. then parse through that array with a loop that inserts the new value line for line and it works fine for me. There is possibly a better way of going about it, but this works for me.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Javascript
My question might have anything to do with PHP but I have the following
scenario:
Say I have four fields
field1 :
field2 :
field3 :
field4 :
And a total sum field, which is a total sum of the value of the
expression, totalsum = field1 + field2 + field3 + field4
Total sum : XXX
You would need to use Javascript to extract the value of field1, field2,
field3, field4, initiated by the Javascript onChange event.
The HTML codes should look like this:
So the add function snippet that I have:
function add()
{
var thisform=document.forms[0];
var field1=thisform.field1.value;
var field2=thisform.field2.value;
var field3=thisform.field3.value;
var field4=thisform.field4.value;
var totalqty=field1+field2+field3+field4;
thisform.totalsum.value=totalqty;
}
But all I got is a NaN which means Not A Number. I understand that you
solve this by using the parseInt Javascript function.
But still all i get is a NaN value.
Would appreciate if someone could help me out on this.

RE: [PHP-DB] Javascript
The reason for this is these fields are regarded as text and unless you
specify number(variable) it may treat it as text.. When
Field1='0'
Field2='1'
Field3='2'
Field1+Field2+Field3 = '012'
If you use
Field1=Number('0')
Field2=Number('1')
Field3=Number('2')
Field1+field2+field3 = 3

Re: [PHP-DB] Dates - adding to unix 86400 seconds not equal nextday
Isn't this due to how your operating system handles the switch from daylight saving time to GMT (or local equivilent)? Or is this handled by PHP? That could account for different experiences. Of course if your locale doesn't switch from DST on this date you won't see the issue either... Using gmdate doesn't cause this anomaly. Apologies if this is what you're discussing and the issue is when the DST switch takes place... cheers Simon -- ~~~~ Simon Rees | -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] Reverse (or backward?) Infinity Loop
Hi Bruno It looks like you're trying to do a hierarchical query. What database are you using? If you're using Oracle you're in luck, see the docs for the START WITH and CONNECT BY clauses of SELECT. I don't think many other databases can do this so you would need to write code in your client language to interpret the catParentId to catId relationship.

Re: [PHP-DB] Executing SQL query with ODBC
Hi
Most databases don't return the number of rows in the results of a select
statement to odbc_num_rows. See:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-num-rows.php
Usually the way to determine the number of rows a select returns is to
either fetch them all and count them or do an additional aggregate query.
It depends on your requirements.
I presume that this behaviour is because in most cases the database engine
does not make the number of rows in a result set available to the driver.
The only way the php interface could calculate the number of rows would be
to fetch them all which may be inefficient - say if you were only
interested in the first row out of a possible 100. [anybody else care to
comment?]
Note, after an insert, update and delete statements odbc_num_rows does
return the number of rows affected.

(security wise) A refinement of this technique is available on Unix boxes to which you have root access. Create a simple program that can read data about passwords etc. from a file. Create a file that can be read by the program you've written with the 'secrets' you want to keep secure in it. Make this file owned and readable only by root. Set the program owned by root, executable by everyone and suid. This will allow any user that can execute programs on the machine to obtain the password. Attackers who have just 'escaped' the web server root, say by taking advantage of a coding flaw, will not be able to read the password file. You can use groups to give finer grained access by making the program executable by a specific group only. However if an attacker has managed to obtain an account on your box they could probably just use a rootkit. In practice I use a simple c program (for speed) to read the password file and a system call in my php script to call the c program. A PHP program could be used for reading the password file but will need to be executed by a shebang rather than as a parameter to php. I can post further details if anyone is interested. cheers Simon -- ~~ Simon Rees | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel ~~ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Presumably the file which contains the virtual host directive is readable by the process the webserver is running as - if not how does this work? Therefore the technique you describe is no more secure than that described earlier of putting the passwords in a file outside the webserver root. The technique I described keeps you passwords secret even if an attacker has read access to files they shouldn't.

Unfortunately I've misplaced the program I'd used in the past to do this. It
was written by a colleague at a workplace we've now both left. As an
exercise I've tried to re-implement it myself. The source code is inline at
the end of this message. Note I'm still learning C so it may be worth
getting someone more experienced to check it over before setting it suid
and using it in a secure environment! - it does appear to work however. It
may be worth considering one of the many C libs already written for
accessing config information as well...

I don't know that this would be much help - if someone can read the file the
passwords are in it is likely they can read and copy the executable that
reads that file. Running the executable themselves they will be able to
figure out the obfuscation used... Still any obstacle is an obstacle!

I liked Jason's suggestion of setting the password in an apache config file
that was only readable by root which has the same benefits as my suggestion
but much simpler. I didn't realise you could do that.
AFAICT the feature to set a default password, user etc doesn't seem to be
available for Oracle connections. Although I'm going to investigate that
further as I'm working with oracle at the moment.

[PHP-DB] Tricky one - include($identifer);
Hey guys - I've been mulling this one over for a few days now - and still haven't come up with anything intelligent to sort it... I'm building a site where you can edit the content on the fly - basically allowing you to write code and add pages without touching a telnet or ftp session etc etc etc... So I end up with chunks of text stored in my database - which I then pull out and (currently) do the following with: echo $content; This works real nice when the text is plain HTML - makes setting up a site nice-n-easy.. however, I want certain people to be able to put php code in their snippets using as you would when editing a normal php file. This is where my $echo falls over - none of the php code is executed (as you would expect). What I really want to be able to do is: include($content); I haven't been able to find any ways to do this though - eval() looks for just php code and include() and require() look for filenames. I really don't want to store my snippets as files - but I guess I may have to if I can't find a way to pull em out of a database and include() em.

Never a performance issue appeared so i was glad. Within these 40 servers i have several forums and contentmanagementsystems and some stats-systems. lets take as an example: www.usrangers.net/stats/hlstats.php (hlstats 1.01) alliance.usrangers.net (phpnuke5) alliance.usrangers.net/forum (vBulletin2) these three should be a good example to the php prob i have. One day i had to install an addon to hlstats (the first link). but hlstats needs at least 4.0.4 (php) so i had to update from 4.0.1 to a more recent version. i choosed 4.0.5 because it was the most recent rpm i could find. so i did install 4.0.5 and my problems began. from now on i get a lot of times 2014:command out of sync when php did try to connect to the mysqldatabase. also i did realise that the did remove the command connection_timeout() (btw: bad attitude! never remove commands replace them by dummies! you never know how many system you will affect when you remove a command!), but that was fixed pretty fast. first i thought only hlstats is affected by this "bug" but then i realised that the other sites were too. hlstats is only more often the "caseofemergency" because it does use more often the database (it uses pretty complex and large queries). but phpnuke and vbulleting had problems as well!

Here's the problem.
Your euro-update.program is already executed through the inverted
commas.
And then the exec-function tries to execute the return value from
your program. And so you get the exec-warning, cause it doesn't know
what to execute.

Then you perhaps don't have the right to execute it.
Note that the apache-user must have the execution right on that file.

hi there, I have PHP installed as an Apache module and I can't have it as CGI.. now I'm looking into ways to run PHP scripts off the cron, and I saw that PHPAds does a fetch command to parse the script on a regular basis. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has had to do this, and what is the best method? Otherwise I'll have to fall back on Perl to do my cron stuff ;-) have fun simon --- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 30 Hopkins Close | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1FD | www.studio24.net -- 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]

I'd love it if the default php build still built > the CGI when building the apache plugin. thanks for the reply Dave, my point is that I do not have access to certain root stuff on Apache (it's a virtual server) so I am forced to only use PHP as a module, which to be honest I prefer to do since as far as I'm aware that makes it faster and it's only for some cron job stuff where the CGI option becomes more useful (to me at least). So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of using fetch to parse PHP scripts off the cron. An example (from PHPAds) is below.. 59 23 * * * fetch -o - http://www.profi.it/phpAds/mail.php3>>/var/log/messages I'm wondering if there are any pros/cons to this approach, and whether there are any better ways of running PHP off the cron bar resorting to CGI. best wishes, simon --- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 30 Hopkins Close | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1FD | www.studio24.net -- 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]

[PHP-DB] get_browser()
hi all
how does everyone feel about the get_browser function?? Is the general
impression it's overkill, and also flawed since it depends on the
browser.ini file being up to date, or it is widely used?
I'm about to need to use browser detection & I'm wondering if a simple
get_env("HTTP_USER_AGENT") will be far simpler
thanx in advance..
si

RE: [PHP-DB] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

[PHP-DB] RE: nobody header
> the script below gives me a from header = "Nobody"; and the > $from which is supposed to be the header has been included in the > body of the email. How can i make the $from to be placed in the header? hi Jennifer, you have to specify the From email address in the following way: $from = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; the last parameter passed to PHP is not by default the from address, but any additional paremeters, so you've gotta tell PHP it's the from address (in the way above). Look here for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php the "nobody" user will be the webserver, and since your original script did not specify a sender then this is what the server usually defaults to. best wishes, Simon --- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 PO Box 88 | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1XH | www.studio24.net -- 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]

Help, anyone! the connection variable is not global, so the function your MySQL statement is in cannot access it. to access a variable outside of a function write global $connection; or something similar (whatever the name of your MySQL connection handle) as the first line of your function :-) simon --- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 PO Box 88 | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1XH | www.studio24.net -- 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]
[PHP-DB] security in PHP under Apache
hi there
does anyone know how to make PHP run as a different user than the default
one ("nobody" i believe). I have many users with websites and would like
them to be able to run PHP under their usernames so as to ensure security.
Though I'm not sure this is possible unless I install PHP as a CGI binary
and use something like suExec (I currently have it as an Apache module, and
would like to leave it that way).
best wishes,
simon
