[PHP-DB] Patch to access oracle in Red Hat....
Hi people... I use PHP 4 with Red Hat 7 and a Oracle DB, but I can´t find the extensions to access the oracle db In php.net I found the DLL for Win NT/2000 but I didn't find the files for Linux. Paulo Cesar

Hi,
It's me bothering you great helpers again! Wondering if you can help me?
I know I am missing something stupid cause I am taking this pretty much
straight out
of the PHP 4 Bible.
Here is my table dump:
CREATE TABLE users (
uid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
password varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
class tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
realname varchar(40) default NULL,
email varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
sex enum('Male','Female') default NULL,
session varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
dateregistered datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
dateactivated datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
lastvisit datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
logins int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
points int(11) NOT NULL default '1000',
PRIMARY KEY (uid),
UNIQUE KEY name (name,email)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
Here is the php code:
?
// include the database configuration
includeconfig.php;
// connect to database
mysql_connect($db[host],$db[user],$db[password]);
mysql_select_db($db[database]) or die (sorry I couldn't connect to the
database.);
// if no connect then exit
// exit;
// if connect successful

All I want is to get the username into the database.

there are misprints in the book

[PHP-DB] File Uploading... Two problems...
I have been successfully able to upload the files to the server and its path
stored in the database..
Now I have two small issues...
1. How would I automate the file naming otherwise errors will fly (can't
copy file... blah blah)
2. The second part is the most annoying. It seems that I cannot get the
script to put the files into a directory I specify only where the script
resides. I thought it was a permission issue, but the folder has been chmod
to 777 and it still won't do it...
Directory structure
home
web
recruiter --- folder where the scripts reside
resumes -- the destination where I want the uploaded files to
reside
here is the code...
?
// if $img_name isn't empty, try to copy the file
if ($img1_name != ) {
// copy the file to a directory or
//die and print an error message
// NOTE! if you're on a Windows machine,
// use Windows pathnames, like so:
// copy($img1, C:\\some\\directory\\path\\$img1_name);
copy($img1,

or die(Couldn't copy the file!);

You could replace the file name with a randomly generated number. There are
a number of ways to generate random numbers in PHP. Try this for starters:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php
2. The second part is the most annoying. It seems that I cannot get the
script to put the files into a directory I specify only where the script

You need the path from root to the directory. Now you have:
home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name
You need a forward slash before home:
/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name
Instead of using chmod 777 (ick!) you should change the ownership of the
file to be owned by the web server user which is usually nobody you can do
this with the chown command from the command line.

RE: [PHP-DB] Database Connection
Jerry, Installing DB2 Client will allow you to use the ODBC functions in PHP, but be aware that you are not actually using any ODBC Drivers in this instance. PHP allows hiding of certain database specific functions under a Unified ODBC that uses the ODBC functions without using true ODBC database communication. That being said, you don't need to link --with-iODBC unless you are using ODBC Drivers, so it's not an issue here. If Apache doesn't start, I'd check it's logs, but you might be encountering a situation where the DB2 libraries were in the path at compile time and are not at Apache start time. Try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location of your DB2 Client. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] Username
Jennifer, You have a clear idea of what you want done by the script - as guided by the book. However, do you have a clear idea of what the script is actually seeing - and therefore why it is doing what it's doing? When debugging, add a heap of ECHO statements to test pertinent values, eg before a branch/decision make sure you KNOW what the value IS (cf what it 'should be'). When you do this, it is most likely that the error/omission will become clear. =dn I am not getting an error message. The te.php is connecting to the data base. Just not doing what I want it to.

FW: [PHP-DB] Username
Hi Jennifer
The table defines the uid field as not null.
CREATE TABLE users (
uid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
password varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
..
However you are trying to insert null into uid field
$query = INSERT INTO users (uid, name) VALUES(NULL, $name);
$result = mysql_query($query);
Since a primary key has to be not null try inserting an empty string instead
of NULL.
HTH
TJ.

Re: [PHP-DB] Username
If you read to part 2 of the tutorial it has quite a bit on inserting data. The reason there are tutorials and books are to teach the *concepts* behind what they are showing you. This is probably what is tripping you up; you create the table with uid as an integer, auto increment, not null field, then your insert statement tries to insert NULL into that field. You need to change this: $query = INSERT INTO users (uid, name) VALUES(NULL, $name); To this: $query = INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ($name); Robert On 2/5/02 10:46 AM, Jennifer Downey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not getting an error message.

RE: [PHP-DB] File Uploading... Two problems...
I believe when PHP saves a file, it is already owned by the web server user.
In my case, nouser. I could not get this behaviour to change.
Normally you should not need to CHMOD or CHOWN anything you upload unless
you need them to be modified by ftp users as well.
Just make sure the folder is writeable by the web server user. (Preferably
not by anybody else... 777 is all bad :)
If you do end up CHMODing:
On SCO, the CHMOD command did not behave like I expected it to... adding the
umask made it all good... ie,
$rand_name=generate_filename(,jpg)
//Save The Uploaded File To Disk
@copy($image,
/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$rand_name) or
die(Couldn't Save File $image to $rand_name);
(Note beginning slash... Robert helped you there :)
//Give It Perms
umask(0);
chmod(/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$temp_name,0
600);
(on my SCO box, 600 is the default perms anyway )
Here is my little funtion I use to generate file names: (It is not mine..
but I cant remember who gave it to me :)
function generate_filename ($len = 8,$ext)
{
$nps = ;
mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
while (strlen($nps)$len)
{
$c = chr(mt_rand (0,255));
if (eregi(^[a-z0-9]$, $c)) $nps = $nps.$c;
}
$nps.=.$ext;
return ($nps);
}
Of course, depending on what you are doing, completely random names may be
useless... I save them as temporary files to resize them and save them in a
DB with the regular name with special chars stripped out.

Yeah,
My chown reference was to chowning the folder that the files are uploaded
to, not the indv. files.

You could replace the file name with a randomly generated number. There
are
a number of ways to generate random numbers in PHP. Try this for starters:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php
2. The second part is the most annoying. It seems that I cannot get
the
script to put the files into a directory I specify only where the script
resides. I thought it was a permission issue, but the folder has been
chmod
to 777 and it still won't do it...
You need the path from root to the directory. Now you have:
home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name
You need a forward slash before home:
/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$img1_name
Instead of using chmod 777 (ick!) you should change the ownership of the
file to be owned by the web server user which is usually nobody you can
do
this with the chown command from the command line.

RE: [PHP-DB] Database Connection
You need to specify some env variables before you connect: heres what I do. # putenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib); putenv(DB2INSTANCE=db2inst1); # HTH Mark -Original Message- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 9:43 AM To: Jerry; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Database Connection Jerry, I believe it's the sqllib dir, but you can try the other or experiment with just /home/db2inst1/sqllib If created by the DB2 client installer, try applying the environment variables script: . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access Data Integration Technology Providers -Original Message- From: Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Database Connection Thanks Andrew for your answer.

Jerry, Installing DB2 Client will allow you to use the ODBC functions in PHP, but be aware that you are not actually using any ODBC Drivers in this instance. PHP allows hiding of certain database specific functions under a Unified ODBC that uses the ODBC functions without using true ODBC database communication. That being said, you don't need to link --with-iODBC unless you are using ODBC Drivers, so it's not an issue here. If Apache doesn't start, I'd check it's logs, but you might be encountering a situation where the DB2 libraries were in the path at compile time and are not at Apache start time. Try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location of your DB2 Client.

[PHP-DB] PHP Site Statistics
Just installed Les Visiteurs for php site statistic gathering...looks fine. Anyone have a favorite site statistic script/program in PHP? I'm experimenting with different ones to see what I like. The only disadvantage I can see with Les Visiteurs is having to put a couple of lines of code in every page you want tracked. Fine for a new site, but not so nifty for sites that already exist. -Mike -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] query error...
Try putting single quotes around your variables in your update statement instead of the escaped double quotes, they are easier to read. Also, were you wanting to update all entries in that table to the same, c_name, s_addy, city, state, zip and phone? If not, you will need to add 'where id=$id' (or something along those lines) to your update statement. Otherwise, the way you have it now, it will update every row in your database to the same values for the listed fields. jas [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Ok what is wrong with this sql statement? $sql = UPDATE $table_name SET c_name=$c_name,s_addy=$s_addy,city=$city,state=statezip=zi p,phone=$phone; The error I recieve is as follows Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /path/to/wwwdemo_change.php3 on line 22 Parse error: parse error in /path/to/wwwdemo_change.php3 on line 22 I have looked on MySQL.com at the update function and it states I can use the SET under UPDATE for multiple fields separated by a , and it is not working...

[PHP-DB] Re: Sessions
Hi there, make sure you aren't outputting anything to the browser prior to sending headers ie the echos on top of page 3. When you register a session variable you should assign it a value ie: session_register(mysessionvar); $mysessionvar = $whateveryouwish; Also make sure session_start(); is at the top of every page with no space before. These should help you out a little. Joe :) Álvaro muñoz sánchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, all First of all, I apologize if this is a dump question but I can't find the answer. I'm trying to use sessions to keep the information about user and password in a database driven web application. I am trying with a simple web page but I can't make it work correctly. Help me, please. Environment: Red Hat Linux 7.2, Apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.0.6 Web pages: Page 1: web page with a form asking for a user name and password. Page 2: php page to validate the user name and pass and register them as session variables. Page 3: php page to show the user name and pass introduced. Code: Page 2: ? session_start(); ? ? $sessionid = session_id(); ? ? session_register ( $usr, $password, $sessionid); ? Page 3 ? session_start(); ? ? echo $GLOBALS[usr]; ? ? echo $GLOBALS[password]; ? Results: Page 2: Opening the session Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/sigma/agenda/index.php:13) in /var/www/html/sigma/agenda/index.php on line 27 Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /var/www/html/sigma/agenda/index.php:13) in /var/www/html/sigma/agenda/index.php on line 27 Page 3: the same warnings and the value of the session variables is lost. Here are my settings for sessions in the php.ini, It could be a configuration mistake. session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /tmp session.use_cookies = 1 session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.referer_check = session.entropy_length = 0 session.entropy_file = session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 180 session.use_trans_sid = 1 I know that questions related to sessions had been treated in the list before but I can't find the answer to this, so I think this must be a very stupid question, sorry.

Re: [PHP-DB] query error...
Ok jas Ok what is wrong with this sql statement? $sql = UPDATE $table_name SET c_name=\$c_name\,s_addy=\$s_addy\,city=\$city\,state=\state\zip=\zi p\,phone=\$phone\; insufficient checking: comma missing between state and zip incorrectly escaped before phone ... I have looked on MySQL.com at the update function and it states I can use the SET under UPDATE for multiple fields separated by a , and it is not working... Any insight would be great. Insight: use ECHO to output $sql to the screen. If the results are less than satisfactory, copy-paste the sql code into native MySQL or a management package, the errmsgs are usually more informative/directive.

Re: [PHP-DB] query error...
Did you type this out or cut/paste? There was a comma missing between state\zip . Should work when you add the comma. Add a WHERE condition for the update, otherwise every row will be set to these values. Common practice is to use single quotes around the char variables, saves a lot of escaping, keeps things more readable. In connection with this, echoing $sql would probably have revealed the missing comma, and don't feel badly, we've all done it. Hope this sees you right - Miles At 02:43 AM 1/31/2002 -0700, jas wrote: Ok what is wrong with this sql statement? $sql = UPDATE $table_name SET c_name=\$c_name\,s_addy=\$s_addy\,city=\$city\,state=\state\zip=\zi p\,phone=\$phone\; The error I recieve is as follows Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /path/to/wwwdemo_change.php3 on line 22 Parse error: parse error in /path/to/wwwdemo_change.php3 on line 22 I have looked on MySQL.com at the update function and it states I can use the SET under UPDATE for multiple fields separated by a , and it is not working...
