Hi users, how can I send a connection database variable, from one PHP page to other PHP page, and maintance the database connection open during both pages?

[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Sending variables between PHP pages
Yes, thanks a lot, but i need to mantain the connection open for manage a transaction, an everytime that I open a new database connection, the system begins a new transaction and I lose the last one. Do you understand, me? Do you know the way for do that? I think it is imposimble in web applications at all, because there is no persistent connection between db server and web server + PHP service. You can try for example mysql_pconnect() function (or it's analog for your db engine) but still I don't think it is possible ;((( Only applications can make this for you NOT PHP and Web ;((( -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

how can I send a connection database variable, from one PHP page to other PHP page, and maintance the database connection open during both pages? I don't think one can do that. There is NO need for that. You can write header.php file and include it in the beginning of each PHP page where you need db connection and footer.php which you can include at the bottom of each page with X_close() function in it. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP-DB] phpmyadmin
That I can't help you with, as I've never worked with phpmyadmin, always manipulated the database at the MySQL console. By default MySQL stores the database in it's ../var directory, like so: /path/to/mysql/var /mysql - the database which contains info about the other databases /resume /some_other_db /still_another_db and so forth. The fly in this ointment is that the databases can be stored on other drives or directories and symlinked from the default location. Are you thinking that the phpmyadmin is used to build your scripts? If so, you have he wrong impression, as it is a database administration tool. If you need guidance on where to start developing your application, Julie Meloni has some very useful tutorials ar http://www.thickbook.com; there are also tutorials at WeberDev, PHPMonkey, DevShed and so forth.

The first has to be how much do you know about relational databases? The basic theory on normalization, simple queries, etc., covers about 6~10 pages. There are some very good tutorials on the 'Net; search on something like SQL tutorial Here are a couple: http://www.cs.unibo.it/~ciaccia/COURSES/RESOURCES/SQLTutorial/sqlcont.htm This deals with MySQL, and gets you to third normal form quite painlessly: http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/index.html The next question is What information do you want from the database? Write out all the possible questions you will ask of your data. This will tell you what you need to include. When you have this answered, along with some basic table design information, you're in a good position to answer your question. Unfortunately there is no canned answer. Here are a few tips though: For dates, MySQL has a very useful date format. Use it. Most numbers don't have to be stored as a numeric data type, they are more usefully stored as character data. Examples would be phone numbers, street numbers. Numbers which represent quantities, and on which you will do work, multiplying, adding ,dividing, etc., should be stored with a numeric data type. Examples would be price, quantity, number_of_members. MySQL provides an easily used auto-increment field which you can use for a unique primary key on each table. Use it. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I hope it is helpful. The important steps are to determine the possible combinations of data you want to retrieve, and to set up your tables so that you do not needlessly duplicate data, what is otherwise known as third normal form. Will it be somewhat hard work? Yes, but you only have to do it once. I'd also recommend that once you have your perfect design, sit down with some people who are somewhat familiar with your problem and have them ask questions about what is stored and how it will be retrieved.

Yes, but then we come across the other problem, namely, if you click a submit button that has a ACTION=?php echo $PHP_SELF?, technically the script ends when it reloads the page, and therefore also forgets $host, $username and $password, so I'd probably still have to somehow register the variables, ie. using session_register, no? -- Markus Lervik Linux-administrator with a kungfoo grip Vaasa City Library - Regional Library [EMAIL PROTECTED] +358-6-325 3589 / +358-40-832 6709 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi there,
I am uploading jpegs in my app. How can I control the compression setting

# old size
$srcX = imagesx($inputImg);
$srcY = imagesy($inputImg);
if ($same == true){ // Image must have the given size. Empty parts are
filled black.
# new size
$ratio = ($srcY / $dstY);
$dstX = ($srcX / $ratio);
$outputImg = ImageCreateTrueColor($maxX, $dstY);
imagefill($outputImg, 0, 0, ImageColorAllocate($outputImg, 0, 0,0));
imagecopyresampled($outputImg, $inputImg, (($maxX - $dstX) / 2),0,0,0,
$dstX, $dstY, $srcX, $srcY);
}
else{ // Image has a y ratio size. Results in not all images same y size.
# new size
$ratio = ($srcX / $maxX);
$dstY = ($srcY / $ratio);
$outputImg = ImageCreateTrueColor($maxX, $dstY);

[PHP-DB] Redirecting to a new page
Can't find the right instructions on php.net, basically, i want a page where
someone logs in, and then according to the database entry for them, either
they are an admin user or a normal user, and it should then send them to a
page depending on which they are.
I've accessed the db ok, and checked which they are, then i've used
if ($myrow[Admin] == Y){
print Location:admin.php;
}else{
print Location:user.php;
)
this doesn't sem to work - just gives a blank screen with the standard html
headers and footers, rather than the desired location page.

Matt,
Instead of print you want to issue a header(). Check the manual for
various caveats.

Hi Matt,
http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.header.php
Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including
the scheme, hostname and absolute path.
Thus, print Location:http:/www.host.com/admin.php; should work.

If the two databases are on the same server, you can use joins to select data from multiple databases. For instance: Database 1, Table A: | id | name| | 1 | George | | 2 | Mark| | 3 | Harry | Database 2, Table A: | id | name| | 1 | Bill| | 2 | Henry | | 3 | Ford| You can: SELECT a.name as db1Name, b.name as db2Name FROM Database1.TableA a LEFT JOIN Database2.TableA b ON a.id=b.id; Now you'll get: --- | db1Name | db2Name | --- | George | Bill | | Mark | Henry| | Harry| Ford | --- Hope this helps. - Jonathan -Original Message- From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 5:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] How to querry two db in a single statement?

How about:

This assumes the following layout:
db1.countries
| country_id | country |

| 68 | Uganda |
| 69 | Canada |
db2.users
---
| user_id | username | country_id |

| 2 | harry| 67 |
| 3 | bob | 68 |
| 4 | bill | 69 |
| 5 | joe | 68 |
| 6 | martha | 68 |
---
This should result in
---
| country |
---
| USA |
| Uganda |
| Canada |
---
You should be able to add an ORDER BY c.country to that SELECT query if
you want to sort the results alphabetically.

The layout of the db is verry complex. Too long to show all the tables. But
in short form there is one table in db1 called country and another in db2
called user. The user has the country as a field.
I am trying to find out the countries the users come from. Building a select
field containing only the countries where user come from.

Are select_db and db_connect functions that you wrote or someone else wrote?
They are not generic PHP4.x functions...
In any case, it would help to see your database layouts...

Hello Jonathan,
my problem is how to connect to 2 db in the same time. They are on the same
server.
Here is the code I wrote so far:
###
# connect to db1
$link = db_connect(); //connect to db
select_db($link,$DB); // select db
###
###
# Get countries who are currently used by registered members:
// $geo_T1 is in $DB2
// $T5 is in $DB
$stmt=
SELECT DISTINCT C.* /*Distinct means no
equal results*/
from $geo_T1 C, $T5 U
where C.country_id = U.country
order by country_name
;
$result = execute_stmt($stmt, $link);
Re: Fwd: Re: [PHP-DB] How to querry two db in a single statement?
Hi all: AFAIK, it is possible in a bunch of database software to query multiple DBs through joining. I have a Foxpro background (so most of what I say is therefore, b.s.) but you can define your query tables using this notation: database.table Which allows you to query multiple DBs. You should be able to do this (using joins) in MySQL. However, I don't know how off the top of my head. That might be more of a MySQL-list-geek type of question.

[PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
I finally came up with a reliable solution that I can use when I'm dealing
with form inputs that can contain quote marks (single or double quotes). To
store quote marks, you can str_replace them with their HTML code
equivalents. For single quote marks, this is #039;, and for double quote
marks it's #034;
So before I insert any input into my database, I run my below function on
all the data:
// Replace quotes with their #039; and #034; equivalents
function PrepareQuotes($Var)
{
$Var = str_replace(',#039;,$Var);
$Var = str_replace('',#034;,$Var);
return $Var;
}
Hope this helps someone else.

Re: [PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
Those are two different things. You never mentioned your HTML problem, that's
why nobody adressed it.
So, the proper way to do it is:
1. Insert into the database using addslashes();
2. Use stripslashes() after retrieving the data if you need to;
3. Use htmlspecialchars() for displaying the data in HTML or htmlentities() if
you still have problems.

Jonathan Hilgeman wrote:
I've tried those methods, but they cause problems when the values are loaded
back into INPUTs for editing. For instance, even if the database-stored
value is Mark\'s Pet Named \Flea Muffin\, try loading that value into an
INPUT so it looks like:
INPUT NAME='FullPetName' VALUE='Mark\'s Pet Named \Flea Muffin\'
Or try double-quotes:
INPUT NAME=FullPetName VALUE=Mark\'s Pet Named \Flea Muffin\
You'll see what I mean.
By using the HTML equivalents, the value can be loaded back into an input
box flawlessly for easy updating, and it will display correctly when being
pulled from the database for other usage.

Another option is to use PHP's addslashes() and stripslashes() functions.
These will add/remove slashes in front of quotes to make them database

Can't find the right instructions on php.net, basically, i want a page

someone logs in, and then according to the database entry for them, either
they are an admin user or a normal user, and it should then send them to a

I've accessed the db ok, and checked which they are, then i've used
if ($myrow[Admin] == Y){
print Location:admin.php;
}else{
print Location:user.php;

this doesn't sem to work - just gives a blank screen with the standard

RE: [PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
How is it the \proper\ way to do it and why does it have to remain the \proper\ way of doing it? Simply because it retains the same character in the database? What good is that if the data will simply be extracted and unslashed at a later point anyway? How the data is kept internally should not be an issue if it is only stored to be later extracted and parsed anyway. That's a partial reason we use timestamps instead of storing the full date everywhere. It's called proper representation. And I think in cases where HTML forms are used in conjunction with databases, the HTML equivalents are a heck of a lot more proper than slashes, not to mention more efficient. The only downside I see is that instead of taking up 2 characters, it takes up 6, but since many fields we all use won't ever contain quotes, I see it as a more than reasonable trade-off. I personally consider it a bad habit to use slashes unless you're dealing with regexes.

Re: [PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
It seems obvious to me that you can do whatever you please - I was just suggesting what seems to me as the proper way to do it. Why I say it's the proper way to do the job is because you never know about future development and storing the data in ASCII seems to me as the most convenient approach to avoid possible problems later on. But then again, this is my own opinion - you are free to implement whatever solution you find most suitable.

RE: [PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
I realize that part - my whole point was that it didn't really matter how it was stored as long as it gets extracted/parsed correctly. With that in mind, instead of using 3 functions to store, extract, and parse the data, I can use one function to prepare the data to be stored in a format that can be extracted directly into an form-friendly format. Not to mention that HTML entities are still ASCII characters, and I do not foresee any problems with using the HTML entities in place of quote marks. To me, it makes the most sense. Quote marks are generally special characters used everywhere, and storing them as quote marks instead of the entities seems to be asking for trouble, in my opinion. I've stored values using slashes for the past few years, and that method has given so many problems...

Re: [PHP-DB] match
Why would this be a problem (i.e. the fact that a user may insert pre in a
form field)?
If you're worried about security (i.e. users adding JavaScript code) you can
always htmlspecialchars() the string...

Re: [PHP-DB] match
If you're trying to prevent HTML tags from being submitted then try
htmlentities($your_variable). That'll convert for example pre to
lt;pregt.

Re: [PHP-DB] Fixed Quote Marks in Inputs
Bogdan Stancescu wrote: Ok, finally found a valid argument! :-) What if the user enters I'm aware that 23!? Bogdan Tested it - it works. However, you'll have big problems if you'll ever need to echo the data. Consider this example: Enter description: input box The user enters Edited by Bogdan's wife [EMAIL PROTECTED]. You now want to store this. You'll first use your algorithm to convert the ' into #039;. You store the result in the database. Now you want to display this data. You retrieve Edited by Bogdan#039;s wife [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the database. What next? You can't simply echo this because that would apparently omit [EMAIL PROTECTED]. You can't htmlspecialchars() either because that would result in Edited by Bogdanamp;#039;s wife lt;[EMAIL PROTECTED]gt; which is not right. So there, that's why you should store the text as everybody else does. :-) Bogdan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
