When Apache starts up it does so as root and thus has the necessary privileges to read those files.

The original question was concerning that if someone somehow had access to the file which stored the connections details then they would be able to use it to connect to the mysql server.

I think you're misunderstanding what those comments are saying. If you don't specify a port in mysql_connect() then PHP will try to use what is defined by mysql.default_port in php.ini.

I don't use any autoresponders on my mail client so I can't give any advice there (but I'm sure google can). I only use autoresponders on my mailserver. These look at the headers of the incoming mail to determine whether an autoresponse is appropriate. The autoresponders will also limit the number of autoresponses so that if eg your friend sends you 100 mails, they will not be told 100 times that you're having a whale of a time in Hawaii, it will only frustrate them and foment envy :). So if your autoresponder doesn't have at least those 2 features, complain loudly, or find a better one (or a better mail client). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In that case I strongly suggest that you at least vaguely familiarise yourself with using the basic PHP-native mysql_*() functions first. Go through the examples in the manual, learn how to: - connect to the server - select a database - perform some simple queries - retrieve the results of the queries - handle errors Whilst doing that you will have also confirmed whether your connection parameters (username/password/hostname/dbname) are correct. > I get activity on the mysql monitor when I run it, What is this monitor?

The code looks OK. Most likely that $additionalsql DOES NOT contain what you

I'm pretty sure a simple if-clause somewhere would prevent the extraneous AND
from appearing in $additionalsql.

Although not strictly necessary it is however strongly recommended that you do remove RH's PHP, and if you're feeling brave I suggest removing Apache too and install both from source, just follow the instructions in manual.

Yes. Some of the security problems with Outlook stems from MS's strict non-compliance with the standards.

You only need it to separate multiple headers, and even then you should not use two sets of them, ie: correct: \r\n incorrect: \r\n\r\n -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- /* The solution to a problem changes the nature of the problem. -- Peer */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Perhaps if you understood what that oneliner was doing then you would
appreciate it that a similar statement in any language would look, similar.

How do you mean? It's PHP's job to parse.
> What's the purpose for all this quoting?
OK for the SQL statement you need to construct a string that looks something
like:
INSERT INTO course VALUES ('valueoftermcode', ...)
The significant part is that you have single-quotes inside that string. so to
make things easier for yourself you use double-quotes as your string
delimiter:
"INSERT INTO course VALUES ('valueoftermcode', ...)"
Now you could have used single-quotes as your string delimiter but then you
would have had to escape the single-quotes that appear inside your string so
it would look something like this mess:
'INSERT INTO course VALUES (\'valueoftermcode\', ...)'
> And is there a _nicer_ way of doing this?
Yes, don't do oneliners. Rewrite like so:
$sql_termcode = sqlite_escape_string($termcode);
$sql_semester = sqlite_escape_string($semester);
...
$sql = "INSERT INTO course VALUES ('$sql_termcode', '$sql_semester', ...)";
sqlite_query( $handle, $sql) or die("Error bravo in query [$sql]: " .
sqlite_error_string(sqlite_last_error($handle)));

By 'data' I assume you mean data from the database and by 'table data' I
assume you mean the HTML markup to output a table?
$text = '';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_resultc)) {
$text .= 'some html markup' . $row['id'] . 'more html';
}
Now stick $text somewhere in the body of your mail.

Use the string functions to manipulate it into the required format, explode()
is one approach. If you're desperate search the archives, hundreds of
variations of code to do this have been posted in the past. But it might be
quicker to write your own than to hit upon the appropriate keywords to search
for.

If this is where you got the above from, then maybe you would like to point out to them that it is incorrect (not that it matters to people using PHP5 -- but people using PHP4 might wonder why they don't have mysql support when it is "supposed to be enabled by default").

OK, so your intended use is to "see the selected record(s?)" (based on the
checkboxes selected). Now your problem is not with the "see selected record"
bit (I'm pretty sure you've got that sussed out), it is with "how do I handle
checkboxes". See below.
> Probably, but then again all questions posted here
> could be derived from the manual.
I would guess that 80% of the questions on the list could be answered with
_direct_ reference to the manual(s). By direct reference I mean either
searching the manual for the 1 or 2 _obvious_ keywords or looking in the
_obvious_ section of the manual. For example, some people have asked "how do
I escape strings before inserting them into a mysql database", well one of
the obvious place would be to look at the mysql section of the php manual,
and if the asker had done that they would have seen that there are functions
called mysql_real_escape_string() and mysql_escape_string(). That's why
people should RTFM first, before even thinking of posting to the list!
Anyway ...
> So I set the value of the check box to:
> name="checkbox" value=" $rsRes->Fields('Rese'); ?>">
... there's your problem, all your checkboxes have the same name. PHP is not
smart enough to automatically put them into an array, so if you check more
than one checkbox PHP will either keep the first checkbox or the last
checkbox (I don't know the exact behaviour (and don't care) but you can
easily do some tests to find out should you wish).

Indeed, that is what the manual hints at, and what the articles will tell you
to do.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "intended use checkboxes". Let's try to break it down: Purpose: check boxes are used to select one or more values/options/choices How to implement using PHP: you need to know how to output the correct HTML so that it will be easy to process - this is covered in the manual; you need to know how to process the submitted form and read the values from the checkboxes - again this stuff is in the manual; What to do depending on the values of checkboxes: this is probably what you meant by "deletes" and "insertions". Well, as along as you know *how* to read the values from checkboxes then *what* you do with them is a completely separate issue. Just because one article uses checkboxes to "delete stuff" it doesn't mean you can't use the overall principle and change the code to "delete stuff" into "display stuff". -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- /* Don't get stuck in a closet -- wear yourself out. */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

make use of the extra arguments to exec() (see manual) so that you can see
what's being output.

Try using double quotes.
Also just like performing SQL queries, it's a very good idea to build up the
command you want executed, store it in a string ($cmd), then echo it to see
whether it looks good, then exec($cmd).

If you're using a newer version of PHP you can use fgetcsv() instead. Even
better, if you're able to, use MySQL's LOAD DATA.

As you're not using $line_no the following is better:
foreach ($csvfile as $datastring) {

Again, use mysql_error().

I don't see how you get the above output when $sql is defined like so:

The trouble is that it's a never ending task. Almost every question concerning
sql queries and accepting info from POST, GET etc have security implications
if data is not sanitised. Where do you begin? Where do you end?

The backticks (`) are only needed if:
(a) your column names uses (MySQL) reserved words (eg names of the builtin
functions etc)
(b) you have spaces in your column names
Both (a) and (b) are rather bad and shouldn't really be used. Just use
'friendly' column names and backticks will not be necessary.

It is not a matter of preference, = and LIKE have different purposes. Refer to
manual and/or some SQL tutorial for details.

What you're doing is extremely inefficient. You could do in a single query
what you're currently doing in 5 queries. Use a query like:
SELECT col1, col2, col3, coln, FROM table WHERE colx = 'something'
Then use mysql_fetch_row() or siblings to get the column contents.

Well you wrote the code so that it will go to the error page.

Re: [PHP-DB] Concurrent rutines
You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to
it while you changed the subject.
That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information
to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings.
With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with.
Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this,
click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter
the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your
address book for convenience.
