[PHP] PHP AJAX Framework - Suggestions Please
Hi, Anyone can suggest me which PHP AJAX framework you are using, for what reason(s), what are pros and cons of your particular choice. I found many, and now facing difficult choice. BTW, how do you pass session id between calls to PHP from JavaScript (cookies or explicit foo.php?PHPSESSSIONID=blahblahblah)? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). Andrei PS. Posted this question before, but got only one suggestion so far from Greg Beaver (PEAR_HTMP_AJAX). Would be very pleased to get an insight for more alternatives, like AJASON, for example. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I suppose that this config file should be included in all PHP file via
include command.
is it true ?

Re: [PHP] MySQL close connection, what's the purpose?
chris said: Time. Opening a db connection is time consuming. There are many levels involved (making the connection, authentication, etc).. Even worse if the connection is over tcp/ip because that overhead comes in on top as well. I replied: Have you timed it? Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Okay, I performed a test that made 100 queries, and found that it took about four times as long to open a dB connection each time and get the data as it did to open it once. In other words, if your script pulls data from a dB 100 times, then making a connection to the dB once, pulling the data, and then closing the dB is four times as fast as opening the dB, pulling the data, and closing the dB in sequence one hundred times. Now, that sounds like you should open your dB at the start of your script and just leave it open until the your script quits (as the original poster suggested), but there's a few thing to consider here. 1. The total time difference shown in the above test is a little over a tenth of a second. 2. By keeping the dB open, you're actually tying up the resources of the server more than necessary. After all, your script will always run longer than the query, right? 3. Most scripts (I'm guess here) don't access the dB 100 times or more -- so doing is less, means less of a difference. 4. And lastly, by closing the dB in your script when you're done with it, allows the server to use it's resources to clean-up quicker and have more time to be responsive to other queries. So, not that you implied otherwise, I still don't see any convincing argument as to why one should open a dB at the start of a script and not close it as the original poster asked. Furthermore, not that I'm anyone special, but if I was overlooking someone's code who did that, I wouldn't think favorably of the technique -- it would appear as sloppy programming to me. tedd -- http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Looping information into a table
i am creating a forum and i am having trouble getting the database information in to an html table i believe it has somthing to do with the placement of the while loops because they repeat the segment of code over untill the statment returns false, thus adding extra html.. you guys are the experts so if you could help i would appreaciate it. i will give you the code and an example of how its shows up and then how i need it to show up and if you could point me in the right direction it would be awsome...

I am setting $file = /var/www/include/upload/test.txt and this is what seems to be causing the problem. I can find very little information on this topic on google so I need your help. Do I need to copy the file to the same directory that the script is in or is there something else I am missing? If I just set $file = test.txt how would the server know where to find the file? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] connection error on file upload
Greetings. I'm having a problem with my upload handler. If I send small files (under 1M or so), it works fine. if I send larger files, I get the following error in Firefox: The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. When using Internet Explorer, the error is simply The Page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings Do I have a problem with my php.ini settings? I've tried a few adjustments but can't find the magic solution. I've just rebuilt the box from scratch, and I must be overlooking something -- nothing I've tried so far works. Any ideas?

[PHP] Here is a silly question
Hi, This is come thing that I have struggled with now and again. I usaually us php code to make it work, but was wondering how others deal with this I use includes in most of the web applications that I work on to include the header, footer, menu etc. The problem that I always run into as a project gets bigger is my links to pages. If all the files are in the root directory theres no problem. If I have some files in a folder and call my menu for example ? include(../menu.php); ? I have to call if from the parent directory. But then of course all the links are wrong. Root becomes the calling directory. I usually use a php variable to place the ../ if its needed. How does everyone else deal with this type of problem. I have a times places an extra copy of the footer, menu, header etc in each directory but it is a pain to change links when you have multiple locations to do it in. Thanks for any suggestions. I would be nice to have a simple way to have my include files in a common place that works and keeps the links right.

Re: [PHP] Here is a silly question
I tend to stick /nav/header.php in for my includes, since I control the server. As long as the site translates root to the main directory of your website and not somewhere else, you can always have your links be /menu.php as server-speak / means rootme. I also use / in my href links in my menus and such so that no matter where the script is called from, it always works.

Within your menu.php file, you could make all the links absolute: a href=/root/to/a/location.phpPlace A/a a href=/root/to/somewhere.phpPlace B/a instead of relative: a href=location.phpPlace A/a a href=somewhere.phpPlace B/a That means you can use only 1 menu.php file and all the links will work from wherever. Of course, this does not fix this issue: ? include (../../menu.php); ? or ? include (menu.php); ? or ? include (../somewhere/menu.php); ? for each of your files that includes the menu. Maybe another clever person has an idea. ~Philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Here is a silly question
I'm not exactly sure... but I think that include() may not work this way: ? include (/menu.php); ? I don't think it knows to go to the root and then look for menu.php. That's why you have to tell it exactly where the menu.php is found - 1 level back: ? include (../menu.php); ? Maybe it should be labeled as a bug? Hehehe! ;) ~Philip On Apr 3, 2006, at 11:18 AM, Mace Eliason wrote: Okay I gave it a try and this is one thing I ran into. in my menu file I changed all the links to a href=/ index.phpHome/a then in a file in another directory I added this ? include(/ menu.php); ?

[PHP] Form to form variables
I wonder if I may trouble you'all for some advice.
I'm having a problem bringing along text variables with more than one
word in them from form to form.
The project is an on-line baseball score pitching log submission
form that I'm trying to make a little more automated.
The first form asks the user what league team they represent. For
example:
Your Team:
select name=yourteam
option value=- Select a team -
option value=+ Juniors +
option value=LCCMBLCCMB
option value=FannonFannon
option value=Avalon BayAvalon Bay
option value=BeiroBeiro
option value=Pioneer RoofingPioneer Roofing
option value=FannonFannon
This gets picked up on the next form and is used to feed a SELECT
statment that gets records associated with the particular league team.
This works just fine to capture the posted values and give them a name:
$team = $_POST['yourteam'];
$league = $_POST['yourleague'];
Further down on this page, I pass these variables off to the next form:
while ($thearray = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
printf(FORM ACTION = scoreForm_last.php METHOD = POST
input type = hidden name = IDFIELD value = $thearray[id]
input type = hidden name = yourleague value = $league
input type = hidden name = yourteam value = $team
I pick them up on the next page like this:
$ID = $_POST['IDFIELD'];
$yourleague = $_POST['yourleague'];
$yourteam = $_POST['yourteam'];
This passes the record ID, the league and team along just fine to the
next form, BUT only the first word of each team comes through!
Avalon Bay becomes Avalon, etc.
Is there any obvious reason for this to be happening that you can see?
Or am I approaching this all wrong?
I'm using a similar approach to an umpire scheduling database and it
works just fine.
Thanks for any hints!

You aren't encapsulating your data with quotes, so it is thinking the next word is another variable. input type = hidden name = IDFIELD value = $thearray[id] input type = hidden name = yourleague value = $league input type = hidden name = yourteam value = $team should become input type=\hidden\ name=\IDFIELD\ value=\$thearray[id]\ input type=\hidden\ name=\yourleague\ value=\$league\ input type=\hidden\ name=\yourteam\ value=\$team\ HTH, Wolf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The open once and keep open showed no improvement. Thanks -- does the persistent connection thing hold the server up until released? How does that work? What persistent connection REALLY means is: Ask MySQL to keep the connection laying around handy for re-use. So it's not really persistent from PHP's point-of-view -- It's more like re-usable from PHP's point-of-view. The actual persistence happens on the MySQL side of things, mostly. Note, however, that for security reasons, the re-use can only be done if the SAME MySQL user is asking for a connection. You wouldn't want to risk the data left over from a 'power' user to leak out to a 'normal' user, if you have multiple MySQL users with multiple levels of access, and the connection to be re-used was previously a 'power' user one, but now a 'normal' user is asking to use it. There are more constraints on this re-use which I forget... What they boil down to, though, is that EACH Apache child process will end up having a connection allocated to itself, for each username that you use in your application. In /etc/httpd.conf (or wherever your httpd.conf file is) you have something like MaxServers to define the maximum number of Apache children that can exist. So you need to edit /etc/my.cnf (or wherever yours is installed, or your MySQL expects it to be installed, based on compile-time settings) and make sure you have that number of connections PLUS A FEW EXTRA ONES. The few extra ones are needed in case of a server melt-down, so that even if every Apache child is running, sucking down a MySQL connection, you can STILL connect from the shell as 'root' and do something useful, like shutdown MySQL safely. If your MySQL # of connections are ALL taken up by Apache children thrashing away, then you CANNOT connect using mysql_admin to shut down MySQL and you're in big trouble. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: PHP AJAX Framework - Suggestions Please
Hello, on 04/03/2006 06:25 PM Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) said the following: Many thanks for everyone who have replied. Its seems Manuel's suggestion regarding iFrame sounds really good. BTW, I am using Savant as template engine, and integrate it with Manuel Forms Generation and Validation would be a good idea (there is a Smarty plugin for this class, but I am using Savant). I think it would not be hard to implement a plug-in for Savant, if there is enough interest for do it. I developed the Smarty plug-in but I do not use it myself because I do not use Smarty. It is very popular though. Basically, I have a problem porting my own FileMaker database with many multi-page forms (plus large tables and big drop-down lists, displaying thousands of items). Things made quickly with native GUI tools often very difficult to port to Web-based GUI. If you have select inputs with long lists of options picked from a database, you can always split the list according to database query condition criteria and use multiple linked selects with another plug-in of the same forms class that can switch the options of a select input when the value of another linked input changes. It can pick the new options list from a database (anyone you use) without reloading the page.

[PHP] Multidimentional array problems
Hi,
I am trying to read form a database and place everything in a
multi-dimentional array
This is what I am doing and the output (for testing) seems correct
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$banner= array($arrayIndex = $row);
echo $banner[$arrayIndex][image]. br;
echo $banner[$arrayIndex][url]. br;
echo $banner[$arrayIndex][display_type]. br;
$arrayIndex++;
}
When I try and use
$value=0;
while($value $number_of_banners_db )
{
echo $banner[$value][url]. br;
echo $banner[$value][image]. br;
echo $banner[$value][display_type]. br;
}
I only get the last set of values that where entered into the array. I
want to be able to pull all the values out
$banner[0]['url']
$banner[1]['url']
$banner[2]['url'] etc.
I don't use arrays much and I have been going thru my books but I still
can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks

You are creating a new $banner each time it loops.
It should be like this:
$banner = array();
$arrayIndex = 0;

{
$banner[$arrayIndex] = $row;

life is a game... so have fun.
Are you talking about the level of mysql access or the level of access
to a site? They are 2 completely separate things.
A site can use 1 or multiple mysql users depending upon the level of
privileges you want to give them. You could always link the level of
site access to the mysql user in your authentification area...
off the top of my head
(guest = 1, user = 5, super = 9)
switch ($_SESSION['level']
{
case 1:
$db_user = 'site_guest';
break;
case 5:
$db_user = 'site_user';
break;
case 9:
$db_user = 'site_super';
break;
default:
$db_user = 'site_guest';
}
In a config file you would have the various usernames and their matching
passwords... and yes I would require it on all pages.
And on the page itself display various parts (or not) based on their
$_SESSION['level'] of access...
if($_SESSION['level']1
{
// display something a user or super would only see
}
In the DB you have a site_user who has GRANTS on SELECT, site_user who
has GRANTS on SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, EXECUTE for specific
tables (maybe content tables) and stored procedures on them, and
site_super that has the full DB access for the tables associated with
the site.
