[PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] reading a URL...

2001-03-27 Thread Renze Munnik

Here's the mail I sent yesterday right after your question. I sent
it to the general PHP list (you posted it there). But obviously your
never read that list. Don't post any questions there then. There are
people putting time in answering your questions, so you have to make
sure they don't do this for nothing. Post your questions only to
lists you actualy read!!!

Anyway, I had already answered your question, so here's that answer.
This is the quickest, easiest and most common way of using the
variables you get by GET or POST:


Just use $id in your code. That should do the job.
Variables that are passed using GET or POST you can just use in your
code. Ofcourse you have to add the $-sign. So if you use the URI:

http://www.arandomsite.com/news_story.php?id=123

You can just use:

"SELECT xxx FROM yyy WHERE id=$id"

 Is it Possible, in PHP to read a URL?
 
 What I am trying to do is this...
 I have many news stories in a database, and a single static news page, that

 I have looked about on-line, and seen a common URL,...
 
 http://www.arandomsite.com/news_story.php?id=123
 
 I have adopted this method, and it only displays the top most story in my

 Can I get the ID number from the URL?, and then pass that to the SQL statement?
 
 I cannot find a tutorial or similar on-line anywhere.
 
 Hope you can help,

 P.S, after getting this all set up, my boss asked me to turn everything into

 SO, I am off to buy a "JSP in 20 seconds" Type books, any ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] Indexing help

2001-03-27 Thread Steve Brett

replies below:


""M. Verheijen"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Dear reader,
A newbie mysql/php-question here! I've filled a mysql-database with about
1600 records. All these records contain items which
are on sale on a website. Every row contains an integer defining the
category to which a item belongs.

At the left of the website there are buttons linked to a php-page which does
a selection like this:
select * from PRODUCTS where SUBCODE = \"$SUBCODE\"

As you might have guessed, every button is a link in the form of:
a href="products.php?SUBCODE=8"img src="../button2.gif" border="0"/a

This all works well, but now my questions!
Is it wise to make an index for the integer column? I assume it is because
it's the row almost all queries are using in there where-statements. What
kind of speed increase can I expect, will it increase the speed of query's
if the workload goes to 2000 queries a hour? What's the best way to make
this index, how does it works.


i always work on the theory that i index columns that i use in the select
section of a query, or a where.
keys will be indexed automatically (AFAIU).
the speed increase will be dramatic. i used postgres and didn't index a
field (accidently) and then ran queries.then indexed it and the speed
increase is huge.
as for making indexes it depends what tools you use. most tools such as
mysql-admin etcc will let you create indexes by a pointy clicky interface.
true purists might insist on:

CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX index_name ON table [USING acc_name]

from the sql command line.



I've read about the use of indexes in the mysql-manual and phpbuilder.net,
but both are kind of short and don't tell what
you're doing exactly. Anybody of you have some pointers to good webresources
about indexing.


i don't think you need to get into what particular type of index it is
(hash, etc) but they are generally a good thing.


Yes, I know a long list of questions ;) I hope that some of you can give me
a clue or two.


log lists of questions are a good thing and should be warmly welcomed by
everyone.



With best regards,
Maarten Verheijen

[PHP-DB] get_browser()

2001-03-27 Thread Simon R Jones

hi all
how does everyone feel about the get_browser function?? Is the general
impression it's overkill, and also flawed since it depends on the
browser.ini file being up to date, or it is widely used?

I'm about to need to use browser detection  I'm wondering if a simple
get_env("HTTP_USER_AGENT") will be far simpler

[PHP-DB] Re: How to print last row in an array using WHILE?

2001-03-27 Thread Jon Valvatne

What you are missing is the first row, not the last row.

To explain:

mysql_fetch_row() operates with an internal pointer which moves one step
down the result set with each call to the function. The first time it is
called, it returns the first row, and moves its pointer to the second row.
The second time it is called, it returns the second row, and moves its
pointer to the third row. And so on. When it gets to the end, it returns
false.

Your while() structure is exactly what's needed to iterate through the
result set. But because you call mysql_fetch_row() once before starting
the while loop, the first row disappears. When the while loop starts, the
internal pointer points to the second row.

So just remove the first mysql_fetch_row() call, and it should work fine.

Your problem is probably on a line above this one.  Because this line
should be valid.  I do stuff like  this all the time and it works
without any problems so far.

?php
// First of all, I use a variable to hold my sql statement:

This allows you to see the sql that is actually being executed, and you
also get to see the actual mysql error.

I think you should store all files in a table with an extra table with the
filetypes (like you suggest in the end of your mail)!! In my opinion this is
a well designed database modell, 'cause you have only one table (instead of
10 or twelve depending on the count of your datatypes), but you are able to
select over the filetyp criteria!!

 Subject: [PHP-DB] Editing DB entries via form
 
 
 What I have is an extremely scaled down version of a news DB.
 
 What I am not experienced in doing is the following:
 
 I want to have a page, say 'myEditNews.php'--and it will list 
 the news items in the database with a checkbox and an edit button.
 The check box will be used for marking news items to delete.  
 The edit button is obvious :).
 
 HOW:
 
 Say a person checks the 1, 5, and 9 check boxes and hits 
 delete.  How do I know in the myEditNews.php file that those 
 particular boxes were checked??  When I figure this out, I 
 will use a loop to delete the news items one at a time from 
 the database (unless there is a better way).
 
 My understanding of check boxes is that they are not sent 
 from the form unless they are checked.
 
 Here's what I have so far:
 
 1) Use hidden fields as flags.  All hidden fields have same 
 name so that when they are submitted to PHP they go into an 
 ordered array.
 2) The corresponding checkbox fields will be checked.  The 
 value of the checkbox will have the news item DB primary key 
 ID to delete on.
 
 
 for(i=0; odbc_fetch_row(...) != false; i++)
 {
 echo "input type='hidden' name='newsItem' 
 value='0'input type=checkbox name='newsItem".i."' 
 onClick='javascript:if(document.myForm.newsItem[".i."].value 
 == 0)  { document.myForm.newsItem[".i."].value = 1 } else { 
 document.myForm.newsItem[".i."].value = 1; }'";
 }
 
 Am I making this hard on myself?  I have seen it done, but 
 now that I want to find an example these sites escape my notice.
 Any help is appreciated,

[PHP-DB] How do you define table row indexes?

2001-03-27 Thread Anyangwe, Tanwani

The following code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM motor_vehicle",$db);
$strSep = 'nbsp;|nbsp;';
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $myrow['id'].$strSep;
}

Gives me the following error:

Warning: Undefined index: id in C:\PHP\Test_Scripts\testdb2.php on line 16

Re: [PHP-DB] Hold that insert!

2001-03-27 Thread Darryl Friesen

 I have the insertRecord function which is supposed to be called only
 when you hit submit. For some reason I'm blanking out on how to do
 this. The function and function call ARE on the same page. I think I
 just need some logic to indicate "stop" and "go".

Every form has a submit button right?  Submit buttons are form elements
(whose value is submitted when the button is clicked), just like any other
form field.  So I have something like this:

   INPUT NAME="submit" TYPE="submit" Value=" Click Here! "

In my PHP code, I check the value of $submit; if it's empty, I know the form
data hasn't been submitted yet (if it had, $submit would have the value "
Click Here! "), so in that case I display the form.  If it does not have an
empty value, the user has clicked the submit button, so I can go ahead
processing the form data.  Like this:

if ( empty($submit) )
{
### Display the form
}
else
{
### Do some checks to make the the data is OK

### Do the Insert, or whatever else is to be done
}

Re: [PHP-DB] Indexing help

2001-03-27 Thread Joe Brown

Columns used in the WHERE clause is the good identifier for which columns to
index.  You don't want to index every column you select.

Typically adding indexes decreases insert performance.  The more indexes the
slower inserts operate, because the indexes also must be updated.

Adding an index to a column which is used in a where clause can dramatically
increase table row selection.  The database server does not have to scan the
full table, instead it can use the index to lookup which rows to return.

On small static tables the performance gain can be nominal.  Larger tables
where there are a lot of rows to check for a match, will see the largest
performance gain.

Think of a dictionary.  You already know the index: words are alphabetically
sorted.  Just think if it wasn't, you'd have to look at every word to see if
you've got a match.  Without indexes, that's what the computer has to do.
The computer (dbms) picks which index to use based on whats column in the
where clause.

Order By clauses can also benifit from an index.

 ""M. Verheijen"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Dear reader,
 A newbie mysql/php-question here! I've filled a mysql-database with about
 1600 records. All these records contain items which
 are on sale on a website. Every row contains an integer defining the
 category to which a item belongs.

 At the left of the website there are buttons linked to a php-page which
does
 a selection like this:
 select * from PRODUCTS where SUBCODE = \"$SUBCODE\"

 As you might have guessed, every button is a link in the form of:
 a href="products.php?SUBCODE=8"img src="../button2.gif" border="0"/a

 This all works well, but now my questions!
 Is it wise to make an index for the integer column? I assume it is because
 it's the row almost all queries are using in there where-statements. What
 kind of speed increase can I expect, will it increase the speed of query's
 if the workload goes to 2000 queries a hour? What's the best way to make
 this index, how does it works.

 
 i always work on the theory that i index columns that i use in the select
 section of a query, or a where.
 keys will be indexed automatically (AFAIU).
 the speed increase will be dramatic. i used postgres and didn't index a
 field (accidently) and then ran queries.then indexed it and the speed
 increase is huge.
 as for making indexes it depends what tools you use. most tools such as
 mysql-admin etcc will let you create indexes by a pointy clicky interface.
 true purists might insist on:

 CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX index_name ON table [USING acc_name]

 from the sql command line.

 

 I've read about the use of indexes in the mysql-manual and phpbuilder.net,
 but both are kind of short and don't tell what
 you're doing exactly. Anybody of you have some pointers to good
webresources
 about indexing.

 
 i don't think you need to get into what particular type of index it is
 (hash, etc) but they are generally a good thing.
 

 Yes, I know a long list of questions ;) I hope that some of you can give
me
 a clue or two.

 
 log lists of questions are a good thing and should be warmly welcomed by
 everyone.
 


 With best regards,
 Maarten Verheijen

RE: [PHP-DB] Hold that insert!

2001-03-27 Thread Boget, Chris

 Click Here! "), so in that case I display the form.  If it does not have
an
 empty value, the user has clicked the submit button, so I can go ahead
 processing the form data.  Like this:
 if ( empty($submit) )
 {
 ### Display the form
 }
 else
 {
 ### Do some checks to make the the data is OK
 
 ### Do the Insert, or whatever else is to be done
 }

I do something similar.  However, my layout is like this:

--

  if( isset( $submit )) {
errorChecking();

if( $noErrors ) {
  doDBInsert();
  header( "location: blah" );
  exit();

} // end if( $noErrors )
showErrors();

  } // end if( isset( $submit ))

  displayForm();

--

This accomplishes a few things:

* The code is easier to follow
* If there is an error in the form, the errors display and the
form re-displays.  There is only one section of code that deals
with the form, not two as there would be in an IF/ELSE situation.

But then, this is just me. :)

Re: [PHP-DB] get_browser()

 how does everyone feel about the get_browser function?? Is the general

Re: [PHP-DB] Hold that insert!

2001-03-27 Thread Terry Romine

I like your simplicity and straightforwardness.

My code tends toward:

switch($submit) {
case: "Accept":
.. insert record
break;
case: "Delete":
.. delete record
break;
case "Cancel":
.. cancel record changes and return to previous condition
break;
}

if($submit) {
show form
} else {
show list
}

where list is a display of the records in the database (browse) and the form is a one 
record dataentry/modification/delete form.

1) It's not considered a good habit to use "select *" in scripts.  When you 
later modify the table defs, your scripts will be blown.  Even if you never 
add/drop/change a column, it's still messy since whenever you're working on 
the code you have to remember--accurately--all of the columns and exactly 
(case_sensitive_ what they are named.  Yuck.  Much cleaner to include the 
column names in your query now.  "Select id from motor_vehicle"--then you 
know for sure you're working with a column of that name.

2) mysql_fetch_array doesn't fetch NULLs.  If the value of column 'id' in a 
given row is NULL, then $myrow['id'] will be undefined for that row. See 
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php.

RE: [PHP-DB] Hold that insert!

2001-03-27 Thread Boget, Chris

 I like your simplicity and straightforwardness.

Thanks. ;p
 
 My code tends toward:
 switch($submit) {
   case: "Accept":
   .. insert record
   break;
   case: "Delete":
   .. delete record
   break;
   case "Cancel":
   .. cancel record changes and return to previous 
 condition
   break;
 }

If there is the possiblity of processing different functions, I do
this:

--

  if( isset( $submit )) {
errorChecking();

if( $noErrors ) {
  switch( $function ) {
case "insert":
  doDBInsert();
  $resultPage = "here";
  break;

case "modify":
  doDBModify();
  $resultPage = "there";
  break;

case "delete":
  doDBDelete();
  $resultPage = "over";
  break;

  }
  header( "location: $resultPage" );
  exit();

} // end if( $noErrors )
showErrors();

  } // end if( isset( $submit ))

  displayForm();

--

Just as before, but doing different things depending on 
function.  That way, the code is still only run when the 
form submits.  And still, if there are any errors, the same
code is run to (re)display the form.  And since all the POST
vars are passed through, the form elements poplulate them
selves with the data that the user previously entered so
the user loses nothing.

I rarely display results on the same page.  This allows 
me to keep it a little more modular and if I ever need to 
modify one, I don't have to worry about touching the 
other.

Just out of principle, I like to keep as few ELSEs on a
page as possible.  Generally, if you look at the code,
you can streamline things alot just by getting rid of 
some of the ELSE statements.

  #  you want to change
$$var = "blank.jpg";  #  The $$ syntax is used to references the

 Hi--

 I don't know if this is something PHP can solve, or if my database engine
 (Postgresql 7.03) needs to do something.

 Every time a user adds a new request, a new ID is generated, but
SOMETIMES,
 when the same user adds several requests, one after another, the browser
 does NOT refresh and it displays the previous ID.

 For example:  User A submits a new request (#1001), then adds another one
 (#1002), it should display #1002, but instead it displays #1001.  Any
ideas?

[PHP-DB] simple sql question

2001-03-27 Thread Paulson, Joseph V. \Jay\

Hello-
I'm running MySQL and php and when I run the query below I don't get any
return rows.  As you can see I search for events that are happening between
a certain date.  The "startDate" field is type DATE in MySQL and the date in
the database that should be returned in "2001-03-27" but I'm not getting any
results.

select * from events where startDate='2001-03-01' and
startDate'2001-01-04'

Any help on what I could be doing wrong would be great!

Thanks,

Re: [PHP-DB] simple sql question

2001-03-27 Thread Doug Semig

There is no date that was before Jan 4th and on or after March 1st
simultaneously--not even March 27th.  

Today might be a special day to individuals for varying reasons (birthdays,
anniversaries, new jobs, promotions, whatever) but it's not THAT special
that it simultaneously exists in two mutually exclusive sets of dates.

ETIME

How about "...WHERE startDate = '2001-03-01' AND startDate  '2001-04-01'"
to pull out all of the March events?

[PHP-DB] checkbox data

2001-03-27 Thread olinux

I have a number of apartment features that are entered via checkboxes.  In my revision 
script, I am not sure of the best way to revise these. 

With the system I am using now I set the field to "1" if the box is checked on the 
initial form, otherwise, it becomes zero indicating, "NO" [ "1" is "YES" ]. 

so how do I "check" the boxes when i pull the initially entered information? [ so that 
the user may, check or uncheck them and resubmit. I could go thru a massive series of 
IF statements i suppose, but I know there must be a simpler way.

Does anyone else work with ceckbox data in their DB?

thanks much,
olinux





[PHP-DB] fetch array problems.

2001-03-27 Thread John Starkey

Hello all.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

$sql = "SELECT * FROM user_prefs WHERE u_id='$UserID'";
$result = mysql_db_query($sql);
$color = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo '
table bgcolor="'.$color[color_1].'" class="nav" .. ';

I can't get $color[color_1] to return a value. It's in the db and
color_1 is a valid table containing a hex value. This is my first
attempt at using assoc. arrays.

Thanks,

John
