Re: Assist needed for crash when printing on Linux
Richard, this may be teaching my grandmother but when confronted with this sort of thing I usually try another linux, preferably fairly minimal. So for instance, plain Debian, maybe with another desktop than gnome, xfce for instance or openbox. Then if that crashes, maybe a slackware based distribution. In the interests of saving time in this case, I might go straight to a plain vanilla slackware installation and try with that. That is the most untweaked linux there is. If it crashes a vanilla slackware installation, its just about certain to be livecode itself. If not, its almost certainly down to some feature of either ubuntu, this particular release, or maybe this particular installation. Maybe compare CUPS versions if you find one that does not crash?

Re: Write file to /external_sdcard/documents
I haven't tried mergAndroid yet, but I do have "prefer external storage"
checked. When I looked for my file that was written to
specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/data.txt", I couldn't find it.
References in the email archives mention use of rooted devices to access
/data, but that's not an option.

Do you mean write external storage?

SpecialFolderPath("Documents") is private data storage. There's also an
undocumented SpecialFolderPath("External Documents") on android which is also
private but in external storage. mergAndroid gets the paths to the public
folders on the external storage that user's can copy files into.

Gotta love those undocumented features. Thank you very much for that tip!
I'm trying mergAndroid out now.

Using Post tData?
Hi All…
I would like to be able to pull data into a livecode project from an on-rev
mysql database. It currently works in a browser as a simple web app and is
built all on in php.
I thought I may be able to just use the post command, however when I try to
post some data to a php url that executes a query on the database and then
echoes back the results all I get in an "answer it" is the first header line,
"Assigned Resources," and no array results. Here is the abbreviated php code:
mysql_connect;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT urladdress, urltitle FROM urllist WHERE docid =
'$doccode'");
echo "
Assigned Resources
";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "";
echo "<. $row['urladdress'] . ";
echo "";
}
echo "";
This works fine in the browser, but I was hoping to use all these php database
connections in the web app within a stack and an iOS app. Any recommendations,
or should I abandon ship, and go in a different direction to access the mysql
data from within a lc stack?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Using Post tData?
John,
I use post and php for remote MySQL database interaction. To use the LC MySQL
commands directly, you have to open permissions to the database to the world
(assuming your app accesses it). This makes an extremely insecure system. You
can open an ssh tunnel using shell commands, but I find the php solution more
to my liking.
Good luck,
Bill
