I am putting together an application where we are almost exclusively
using stored procedures in MySQL because most of the heavy lifting (as
it should be) is done in the database.
I have exactly one situation where I need to execute a stored procedure
and while returning the results if I run a across a particular value in
those results I need to execute another SP to handle. Because I have
forgotten which combination or store_result, use_result, fetch_row (not
to mention that fetch row doesn't have the column names in the array,
just the index) to use I am banging my head against the wall while
getting the dastardly 2014 Commands out of sync; error. Can someone
provide some insight please?
Assume that $mysqli is the connection -
$sql = CALL sp_ONE( . $product . , . $level . );
if(!$result = $mysqli-multi_query($sql)) {
echo Error: ( . $mysqli-errno . ) . $mysqli-error . on
Query . $sql;
} else {
do {
if($side = $mysqli-store_result()) {
/* output the list */
echo 'ul';
while($row = $side-fetch_row()) {
/* careful, column names aren't carried over */
echo 'li data-page=' . $row[2] . '' . $row[1] .
'/li';
/* do we need to do a another stored procedure? */
if(isset($row[3])) {
/* get the info */
$sql = CALL sp_TWO( . $product . , . $row[0] . );
if(!$subResult = $mysqli-multi_query($sql)) {
echo Error: ( . $mysqli-errno . ) .
$mysqli-error . on Query . $sql;
}
/* output the extra info */
echo 'ul';
while($sub = mysqli_fetch_array($subResult)) {

Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a solution to identify a php process that is spawned
with pnctl_fork. I've tried to set a custom gid but this isn't viable
because I have to run the parent proc with administrative permissions. I
need to do this native without any pecl extensions.
Is there a way to do this ?

pcntl_fork will return the pid of the fork, what is wrong with using that

Storing the PID of a process you need to monitor is the established method, and
is certainly the most reliable. Why can't you use the PID as the pattern to
look for? If there's a reason then please explain it as that will help us
assist you. If there's no reason then I don't understand why you're trying to
over-complicate it.
If you're just wanting to monitor it from the process that forked it then you
don't need to store the PID anywhere other than a variable, and you don't need
to wait for it.
If you absolutely must do this then the only way is via an extension such as

[PHP] Re: A relative date puzzle
On 4/1/2013 2:05 PM, Jim Giner wrote: I'm looking for some ideas on how to handle the following get a datetime value that is relative to a specific future date when presented with a partial day time value. Specifically, I have an appl that requires some lengthy input involving days and times. I have streamlined the d/e effort so that it can be done entirely using the number keypad (if available), or else just with numeric entries. Works great, very quick (JS) and accurate. Basically the users type some numbers and end up with something like: Sat 08:00am or Fri 07:00pm etc. Does anyone have an idea on how I can convert this value to a true datetime value for my database updates, where the above value is relative to a specific date in the future? IE, the d/e takes place a few days before a certain upcoming date and I want my entry of Sat to translate to the Saturday following that certain date. This could take place one to two weeks prior to the start date, so just adding next to the value above won't work. I really need to incorporate a specific date in the solution. Thoughts anyone? For those interested - the proposed answer is indeed the answer. To convert a relative time string such as Sat 01:00pm to an absolute date relative to a given date this does the trick: $dt = strtotime(sat 01:00pm,strtotime(2012-11-16) which would return 11/17/12 01:00 pm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Set process custom identifier

[PHP] webform spam prevention
Can someone recommend a best practice for blocking spam on web forms (aside from captcha) ? I've been for the most part utilizing a honeypot method and then individually blocking IPs and am looking for a more efficient method that won't require daily maintenance. I've come across this module: http://spam-ip.com/phpnuke-spam-module.php Has anyone used this method or have any other better suggestions? Thanks in advance!

FW: [PHP] webform spam prevention
Unfortunately, my research shows a lot of users have issues with captcha's, specifically recaptcha can be very difficult to read in most instances, and am looking for an alternative method. I do like the slider method on theymakeapps.com, I may take a look at that, thanks.

Re: [PHP] Is there a PHP based authentication library?
Hi Andy, To be honest, that's also not what i'm looking for, but might be a good starting point to extend on. Depends on how you made it :) I cant promise that i'ill be working on it. I might be for some future project in my company but it might very well not happen as well.
