Re: [PHP] Tutorial needed

Re: [PHP] what is the best way to handle connectivity
Jeff, ODBC should work just fine - you can just link --with-iodbc as per the HOWTOs on www.iodbc.org. If you use a native driver than the Informix client needs to be installed on the same box.

Re: [PHP] Count number of rows in table.
or, you should be able to simply do this, without the cost of fetching the results: $result = mysql_query(SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo $num_rows Rows\n; $sql = select count(*) from table_name WHERE .; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $rowCount=$row[0]; or $sql = select count(*) from table_name WHERE .; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error); $rowCount=mysql_result($result); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Dynamically Downloading Data
Randy, Try using a View, or a Temp Table in your database. This keeps the data available in a specified form.

Re: [PHP] Count number of rows in table.
okay, so then a select * and then a num_rows ...

Re: [PHP] Connection to Access 2000 mdb file on another computer.
Jason,
One option you have is to install OpenLink's Multi-Tier driver, ODBC
Agent, which will allow you to piggyback on DSNs on other machines,
e.g:
webserver with PHP, client side MT driver
DSN (let's call it local_dsn) with ODBC as ServerType, and IDS as Name
db server with MS Access, server side MT driver
DSN called IDS using MS driver for Access.
so:
PHP--local_dsn in client side MT-server side MT
driver---ODBC Agent---IDS DSN.mdb file.
Selecting the appropriate platforms and database at the OpenLink
Software Availability link will lead you to the appropriate components.
Let me know if you need additional clarification, although this example
is pretty well laid out in the OpenLink MT docs.
Cheers,
Andrew

I have no passwords on this file and its not being used exclusively by
anyone.
Here is my PHP code:
?php $connect = odbc_connect(IDS,,);
The IDS is of course a valid system DSN. I have used this DSN by
Crystal
Reports with no problems. And i am not using the file when i do my PHP
tests.
There is no username or password in the DSN as i assume i do not need
one. I
can only assume i have to pass some sort of authorization string with
the
ODBC connect or i just cant do it this way. I've heard many things about
using IIS for the server but I am using Apache on Win2k and don't wish
to
change. If it matters the file i need to access is on a Win NT 4 server
but
its just a shared folder with the correct permissions.
