 Like I said earlier, I can update them from PHP, just can't read them back.

Try accessing them in lowercase ie. employeenumber
There's a note on the ldap man page, it's not very clear but it helped me get

  Hello All,
 
  Im having a 'problem' that I dont know how to resolve. The problem is:
 
  I have a table that I want to get the last number to increment. To do

  | 6  |
  | 7  |
  | 8  |
  | 9  |
  ++
  11 rows in set (0.01 sec)
 
 
  When I try to sort, it doesnt return to me in the order that I need (1
2 3
  4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11). Is there a way to do this or Ill have to include 01
02
  03 04 05 to all my recoreds ?

[PHP-DB] Re: Output of curl to an array.

2002-03-21 Thread Adam Royle

Hi Keith,

I read your post and decided to write a function for you. Basically what 
it does is does, is take in a string, and optional newline and value 
separators, and outputs an associative array.

It actually works, and has a few comments... so yeah, enjoy.. and thanks 
for the challenge : )

Adam


You can use it like so...

PHP Script (of course, you must either have the function on the same 
page or include() it like so):

?php include('extractPairs.php');

header(Content-Type: text/plain);

$strText = Name1=Value1 \n Name2 = Value 2\nName 3 =Value 3;

$arrPairs = extractPairs($strText);

print_r($arrPairs);

?

Output:


Array
(
 [Name1] = Value1
 [Name2] = Value 2
 [Name 3] = Value 3
)

//= extractPairs.php
?php

function 
extractPairs($strText,$strValueSeparator==,$strNewlineSeparator=\n){

// kill the bad stuff... prevent a meaningless array
if (!is_string($strText)){ return array(=); }

// gets rid of newlines/spaces etc so we don't get a crap array
$strText = trim($strText);

// separate each line in an element in an array
$arrLines = explode($strNewlineSeparator,$strText);

// loop through $arrLines, separating the names/values and placing 
them in $arrOutput
for ($i=0;$icount($arrLines);$i++){
$pos = strpos($arrLines[$i],$strValueSeparator);

// get the text before and after the found position
// and get rid of the whitespace b4 and after
$arrOutput[trim(substr($arrLines[$i],0,$pos))] = 
trim(substr($arrLines[$i],$pos+1));
}

return $arrOutput;
}

?

 Ok, lets say I have some code here:

 $result = array();

 $ch = curl_init (https://www.myverificationplace.com/verify.asp;);

 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); // Set the timeout, in seconds.
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 $result = curl_exec ($ch);

 curl_close ($ch);

 Now that we see that, how can I make it so that the output from curl, 
 which
 is in the variable $result, will be an array, for each line of output?

 Some of the line of output looks like this:

 ssl_result_message=APPROVED
 ssl_txn_id=----
 ssl_approval_code=00

 I need each of the lines to be turned into a variable. Any ideas as to 
 how I
 might go about this?

 Thanks,

 Keith Posehn

Nevermind.. I found the problem.  My production server is running mysql
3.22.29, and I needed to use a SET SQL_BIG_TABLES=1 in many places to prevent a
full table condition.  The new server is running 3.23, and once I removed the
SQL_BIG_TABLES=1 from the script (and allowed mysql to use memory instead),
everything worked as expected.  It was a PHP problem afterall - the developer!

I wonder if someone could quickly look at the attached php page, and look at the 
navigation i use and see why it is looping within the html. Basicall I need the 
records to look but not the next and previous section for the navigation. 

If someone could let me know where I am going wrong, as its urgent. It is the html 
formatting that I think I cannot quite get to grips with.

 Hello - I'm posted this to the mysql list but got no response.  While it
sounds
 like a mysql problem, I'm convinced that it is a PHP problem (see bottom
of
 note.)

   I've recently installed mySQL on a RH7.2 box without any problems - it
runs
 great.  I've been testing some long running queries (full table scans,
etc)
 under different scenarios, and get wildy differing results.   Between each
test
 case, I was flushing all tables and re-starting the mysql deamon.  When I
run
 one of my longest queries in the mysql command line client, it runs in
about 77
 seconds.

 When I run the identical query via a simple PHP script running on the box,
the
 same query takes about 930 seconds to complete.  For the life of me, I can
not
 figure out why the identical query would run differently from the command
line
 than from PHP.  I've repeated this test about 10 times just to be sure -
and it

 is entirely repeatable: command line - about a minute - PHP - about 16
times
 longer.  Any ideas or suggestions?

  I'm running RH 7.2 (2.4.9-21) on a Dell Poweredge 2550, 1GB memory, RAID,
with
 mysql version 3.23.41 (the standard install unchanged from the RH media).
Here
 is the query...pretty simple:

 insert into summary_table
select frb, denom, series,
count(*) as cnt,
sum(bills) as bills,
sum(bills_hit) as bills_hit,
sum(total_hits) as total_hits
from detail_table

 If it a memory/cpu resource problem, how do I set RH to give PHP and
Apache the
 same priority as the mysql deamon?

 I've also written a small Perl script to execute the same queries, and
that
 runs in 70 seconds (same as mysql client), so there must be some
 memory/processor limitation placed on PHP that prevents it from running as
 quickly as these other methods.  Any ideas/suggestions?

 Many thanks in advance..

  -Hank

[PHP-DB] Resizing images stored in a mysql db

2002-03-21 Thread Jose Miguel Selman

I made a script for retrieving the data of some jpeg images stored in a
mysql database.I can get the image and print it on the screen... I have to
resize some of them according to their size in order to create thumbnails on
the fly. The GetImageSize function receives the image's path or url. As I
don't want to have temporary files I created a script that reads the image
from an url, (using that url to get the image out of the database). It
worked great in my development computer at home, running Red Hat 7.2 and
PHP4.0.x. The problem came when I uploaded the application to the final web
server, where it can not open the files from an url (don't know why). I
checked the urls I'm retrieving and they are all right, in fact they show
the images...

My problem is how to resize a jpeg image that's stored in the database.

This is the whole process:
getImage.php?id=x retrieves image x from the database. - and
ImageResize gives a timeout when doing $size =
getImageSize('http://myserver.com/getImage.php?id=x')

Any ideas???

[PHP-DB] Temporary MySQL Tables

2002-03-21 Thread Georgie Casey

Hi,

On my site now, there's a lengthy register process where the user has to
fill in 5 forms, one after the another. I get the PHP script to echo the
values from the previous into the next form by using
?php echo input type=\hidden\ name=\name\ value=\ . $name . \;
?
for example. Then I keep carrying the information over to each extra form
until the user reaches the last page and I insert all the info into a table
called tempmembers with an extra timestamp field which I use to verify
email addresses. The user gets an email saying click here to verify your
membership with the username and timestamp in the URL. The users clicks it,
and I run a SQL command that copies the row from tempmembers into the
members table.

This process worked well for a while until I discovered if users enter a
single or double quote into any of the fields, it fecks everything up. So I
added an addslashes command but it's all getting a bit hairy so I was
looking for some advice on MySQL temporary tables for either using after
every form or at the end of all the forms.

Or does anyone have any other method I could use??? Thanks for any help
you might have.
