Re: [PHP] storing an array in mysql - what's the best data type?
Kevin,
I have an array that I want to store in a field of a mysql db. I've got
it set as type text currently, but when I retrieve it, I can't get the
arrary to parse.
If I look at the listings in the mysql cli, it just says Array for
that field.
Here's my retrieval code:
$storyid = $_REQUEST['storyid'];
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, user, pass) or die (Could Not
connect to db.);
mysql_select_db(storiestest, $db) or die(Could not select
database.);
$query = SELECT * FROM ADGstories WHERE (storyid='$storyid');
$results = mysql_query($query, $db);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($results);
for ($i=0; $i $num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($results);
while ($element = each($row))
{
echo $element[key];
echo : ;
echo $element[value];
echo br\n;
$varname = $element[key];
$$varname = $element[value];
}
echo h2$headline/h2\n
p class='byline'$byline/p\n;
// just as a test, not looping through the array. Loop code not
included.
echo p class='bodycopy'$bodycopy[0]/p\n;
}
Even with the version at the end there, I get A echoed to the screen.
If I try a print_r($bodycopy), it says Array.
Where did I screw up?
You can store arrays as strings with..
$str = serialize($ary);
.. and turn a serialized string back into an array with..
$ary = unserialize($str);
The string can be stored in either a TEXT or TINYTEXT field. Is this
what
you wanted to know?
Yes. That worked.
I had trouble following your code after the for loop.
$headline, $byline and $bodycopy are variable names stored in the
database?
Yes. Sorry about that. I should have explained what those variables were.
In any case, your solution worked for me.
thanks!

That should be:

Actually from your results below it seems like you've enabled
register_globals
and it's not necessary to explicit (re)assign $color.
Right. I'm used to working on a machine that doesn't have
register_globals enabled, so it's just habit. Unfortunately, that
particular hosting provider enables them.
First question: is there something I can do at this point to cut the
empty entries
foreach ($color as $key = $val) {
if ($val) {
$tmp[] = $val;
}
}
$color = $tmp;
That will remove empty values from $color.
Ahh. That's exactly what I needed!

[PHP] long PHP array and HTML forms question
I'm trying to store an array in a mysql db. I'm creating the array
variable through an html form and passing it to the page where I store
it in the db. I want to create the array with a form, store it in the
db, then display it in another form with a select statement. However,
I'm getting extra array elements, including another array in the final
element. I can't figure out how to deal with this extraneous data.
Page 1:
The insertion form looks like this:
form method=post action=arraytest.php
COLORS:br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=text name=color[] size=30 /br /
input type=submit value=do it! /
/form
That's five input fields.
Page 2:
I want the user to be able to use none, some, or all of the fields, so I
don't know how many elements will be in the array.
$color[] = $_POST[color];
I'm testing the incoming array with:
while ($element = each($color))
{
echo $element[key];
echo : ;
echo $element[value];
echo br\n;
}
And I get results like this printed to the browser (I always get seven
entries, including the last array entry):
0: green
1: black
2: blue
3:
4:
5:
6: Array
First question: is there something I can do at this point to cut the
empty entries (and that extra seventh array entry) out of the array so
that it's clean going into the db?
So, I insert that array into the db like so:
// db connectivity stuff
INSERT INTO items (color) VALUES ( '$color');
// there are other variables, but I'm trying to keep this as clean as
possible.
Then, I have this on the page that pulls the data from the db:
...
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($results);
for ($i=0; $i $num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($results);
$color[] = $row[color];
echo form method='post' action='someotherpage.php';
echo select name='color';
$colorcount = count($color);
echo !-- colorcount: $colorcount --;
for($x = 0; $x $colorcount - 1; $x++)
{
echo option
value='$color[$x]'$color[$x]/option\n;
}
echo /select/form;
}
However, I'm putting that bad array in the database, and I still get
extra option entries, because I have no idea how many extras to remove.
So, I feel like I should be doing something BEFORE I do the db insert.
Other than that, the db insert and select work just fine (say, if I set
the values of that array manually in the php code).
Any suggestions would be very helpful!
Thanks,
Steven

[PHP] Getting substring of text for first paragraph
I want to do the following: Big chunk of text is stored in variable $a. Paragraph breaks are signalled by two line breaks. I want to just extract the first paragraph (i.e., all the text up to the first set of two line breaks) from $a. How would I do this? I tried exploding $a into an array, then doing a while loop inside a for loop, but it was taking WAY too long to execute (it was timing out). Is there an easy way to do this that I'm just overlooking? Thanks, Steven -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] new $_SESSION variables vs. session_register/unregister
The manual says: If you are using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS/$_SESSION, do not use session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(). If that's the case, how do I unregister $_SESSION variables? Do I just use unset() or is there another way? I'm pretty new to PHP and I'm just getting started using sessions. The book I'm using to learn sessions isn't new enough to include how to deal with the new $_SESSION global variables array, and the manual's dire warning isn't explained thoroughly enough for me.

Re: [PHP] new $_SESSION variables vs. session_register/unregister
Uh... doh! I was reading this: Note: If $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS for PHP 4.0.6 or less) is used, use unset() to unregister a session variable. incorrectly. In my haste, I was basically not parsing the parentheses. I see now that I just treat the $_SESSION variables like any other variable and use unset() and isset() (in place of session_is_registered(). I apologize for the noise.

[PHP] escaping ?
I'm trying to do some string replaces on XML files to import them into a
prprietary db that doesn't understand XML.
I need to strip the XML tags out of the file.
However, when I use this line:
$contents = str_replace('?xml version=1.0?', '', $contents);
The ? in the string ends my php block.
I know there's an easy answer to this, and I'm probably just suffering
from Friday afternoon burnout, but can someone let me know how to escape
those so that I can search for them in the string?
thanks,

[PHP] GetImageSize and iptcparse problems
I've read the manual, and I'm still stuck, partially due to the manual
itself. This is the first time I've dealt with this particular issue
(parsing IPTC info from JPEGs).
The example provided in the manual entry on GetImageSize:
?php
$size = GetImageSize (testimg.jpg,$info);
if (isset ($info[APP13])) {
$iptc = iptcparse ($info[APP13]);
var_dump ($iptc);
}
?
Gives me the following error on php 4.0.6:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument
passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the
declaration of getimagesize(). If you would like to enable call-time
pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in
your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer.
I don't understand what I need to pass to getImageSize in order to
extract the IPTC info.
Can someone point me in the right direction with this?
Thanks,
Steven
