[PHP-DB] variation on(Speed Up Code?)
Hi all, One of the pages in my site takes up to 10 seconds to display (depending on number of records (30 records takes 10 secs). The cause of the problem is the amount of information I am displaying for each record. I do multiple queries for each record to find out different things such as its position in the workflow, its price, etc. None of these are stored in the db, but are calculated on the fly depending on the data held. Apart from storing the result in the db can anyone point me in the direction of some efficient handling routines? Code is available if anyone wants bloat-mail!

Re: [PHP-DB] variation on(Speed Up Code?)
Do some profiling. Use PEAR's Timer class or just add here and there some echo microtime(). Find where is spent most of the time. If it is in the queries than look at your db and find out whether you missed to add some index. If indexes are ok, try to make joined queries (for mysql - LEFT JOIN (RIGHT JOIN) is probably the best choice escpecially if you have very big tables).

[PHP-DB] Re: If else Question
Maybe I am missing something but it seems you are doing things in a
potentially unreliable way.
Firstly... your sql statement in create.php
$query_update = INSERT INTO pets (uid) SELECT uid FROM users WHERE
uid={$session[uid]};
could simply be
mysql_query(INSERT INTO pets SET uid = . $session[uid]);
if you are using php4 session variables, why don't you use $uid as the
session,
so you would only need -- mysql_query(INSERT INTO pets SET uid =
$ID);
Moving on...
I don't know why you would create an empty record, and insert data later
if it is allowed.
Do this:
Show Form -- Submit Form -- Check Data Integrity -- Check If Allowed
to Insert Record -- Insert Record
If anything stuffs up then you don't do the bit following.
So it doesn't check data integrity if you haven't submitted the form
(obvious) and it doesn't insert the record until it checks the data
integrity and if they are allowed to insert the record.

[PHP-DB] ANN :: QuB :: DHTML/PHP Visual Query Builder Released
InterAKT released the 1.0 version of QuB, the visual query builder for Ultradev (with PHAkt or ImpAKT). QuB is also available as a PHP/DHTML standalone version. QuB is an DHTML Query Builder designed to improve the way web developers create and use queries when creating dynamic PHP websites. This goal is reached by including some important features: - centralizing the SQL queries in a single repository - providing a graphical interface for editing queries - allowing instant result of the query in an intuitive manner QuB functionalities are very similar with Microsoft Access Query Builder ones, because we have created QuB to allow Access developers to easily upgrade from Access to a real database server as MySQL or PostgreSQL are. In the same time, QuB requires no advanced SQL knowledge, allowing even non-expert programmers to create complex queries. QuB is also tightly integrated with Ultradev, with an extension that allows Ultradev developers to use QuB recordsets in their PHP pages. The QuB Recordset is a new Recordset type designed to fully use the QuB potential from Ultradev, allowing Visual Recordset Editing. QuB has support for MySQL, Access and PostgreSQL databases. For more details on QuB, visit: http://www.interakt.ro/products/QuB/ QuB documentation can be found at: http://www.interakt.ro/products/documentation.php?prodId=11 A Flash demo of QuB can be viewed at http://www.interakt.ro/products/Demos/QUB.php The InterAKT Team -- --- Alexandru COSTIN Product Manager http://www.interakt.ro/ +401 411 2610 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] ODBC -- Setting ApplicationID
I think that work-around may work for me. Since I can declare a different environment variable for the PHP script, with a new alias, that should work fine. Thanks for the suggestion. - Bruce Andrew Hill wrote: Bruce, It looks like you were on the right track initially, the problem is that PHP has a major bug - odbc_setoption is coded specific to ODBC statement handle (connection id), which means that trying to use odbc_setoption the way you want attempts to set a SQLSetConnectOption AFTER the connection is open - which is bogus and will give you ODBC function sequence errors. On the other hand, the error message you were getting is a bit misleading; we are fixing that now. So... you can unfortunately not do this via Application ID, but since you are using the OpenLink Rules Book, you can still affect Session-based connection management with any of the other connection criteria: Here is one way to do it: -- Setup your session attributes by configuring the Session Rules Book Aliases section of the Multi-Tier OpenLink Admin Assistant. (http://servername:8000). You can configure session rules for any combination of Domain, Database, User, Operating System, Client Machine, Client Application, etc., and can control any connection options at the server side based on the session. Using Database as an example, add a Database Alias with a new database name and configure a session mapping rule to point to the original database name, but change the connection attributes from Read / Write to Read Only in the options for the connection session. On the PHP side, simply choose between two DSN's in the odbc.ini - one is the normal DSN, with default settings, and one will have an alternate database name, name_readonly or somesuch, that will cause the oplrqb to instantiate the appropriate connection attributes. If you run into problems, you should probably open a support case at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm, as this is getting somewhat off-topic for PHP. Hope this helps! Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access Data Integration Technology Providers I was thinking of using the usernames, but as people come and go, that might mean messing around with the oplrqb.ini file too much. I'd really like to do this based on application. What variable do I pass with the PHP script? ( I'm not sure what you mean ). Can I use a variable in PHP that passes the application name to the server? Thanks, Bruce Andrew Hill wrote: Hi Bruce, The setoption error is being thrown because you cannot use SQLSetConnectOption that way. Passing arbitrary info to be used by your application isn't really what this is for, but instead can be used to modify parameters in the ODBC API. This means you can modify things like SQL_ACCESS_MODE, SQL_AUTOCOMMIT, SQL_ODBC_CURSORS, etc., (check the 2.x spec - there are several metadata items that you can control with this API call.) I'd recommend you just pass a variable to your PHP script, and perhaps change the username to a read-only/read-write user with a case statement or somesuch, based on the application. Again, I'd strongly recommend you upgrade the OpenLink UDA version as well; 1.5 is something like 5 years old or more.

[PHP-DB] how to get consistent UTC from gmmktime (w/o dst-offset) ????
hi.
i'm storing events in a mysql-db, using epoch timestamps to pinpoint the
exact date/time for an event.
so far, I have been using localtime, being aware that there are
inconsistencies
in the number of epoch-seconds, when DST flips on and off. nevertheless, that
works fine as long as you stick to mktime() and date() for all the date-math
as in mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+$offset,$year)
but as soon as you leave php and have to do some calculation in javascript,
you will encounter functions that behave differently on the pc and mac
platforms. so you have to revert back to the 'add 86400-seconds' to calculate
the next day.
so I thought it would be nice to have all the timestamps as linear,
non-dst-epoch-seconds (UTC) and I went into the gmmktime() and gmdate()
functions, assuming they would do the math in a linear second-based timespace
(in GMT, without DST). That seems to be the case for the output of 'gmdate',
that remains correct, if you count up seconds across the DST boundary (see
second example).
but it seems that there is no way to calculate the gmt-epoch for a given
date using gmmktime without having to add/subtract the TZ manually. gmmktime
will always take your local DST-settings into calculation and upon conversion
back with gmdate, you will be off by the number of hours of your timezone.
I thought gmmktime() would handle this as if the computer would be in
Greenwich
(TZ=0), which would then leave us with the two functions encoding/decoding
consistently.
anyone having solved this properly?
-
print count days:br\n;
for($day=0; $day7; $day++){
$timgmt = gmmktime(0,0,0,3,28+$day,2002);

Re: [PHP-DB] how to get consistent UTC from gmmktime (w/o dst-offset) ????
BTW for all who are following this, Patrick has cleverly illustrated
that most of the northern hemisphere locations where summer time is
observed will 'spring forward' this weekend. Most of the southern
hemisphere locations that were in summer time did their 'fall back' last
weekend!
NB the two uses of the word most!
Hi Patrick,
References from the manual:
-
gmmktime -- Get UNIX timestamp for a GMT date
-
gmdate -- Format a GMT/CUT date/time
Identical to the date() function except that the time returned is
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Finland (GMT +0200),
the first line below prints Jan 01 1998 00:00:00, while the second
prints Dec 31 1997 22:00:00.
echo date (M d Y H:i:s, mktime (0,0,0,1,1,1998));
echo gmdate (M d Y H:i:s, mktime (0,0,0,1,1,1998));

The definition of the Unix Epoch is itself in GMT (and adjusted from
there to local time using the +/-TZ difference): the current time
measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970
00:00:00 GMT).
When playing around with UNIX epoch seconds it is important to keep them
time-zone separated. So try working your test backwards and putting in a
data/time and then asking for the GMT and the local timestamp values.
They will also be separated by the one hour/two hours.
Question answered, or in my haste to get to my dinner...?
Regards,
=dn
i'm storing events in a mysql-db, using epoch timestamps to pinpoint
the
exact date/time for an event.
so far, I have been using localtime, being aware that there are
inconsistencies
in the number of epoch-seconds, when DST flips on and off.
nevertheless, that
works fine as long as you stick to mktime() and date() for all the
date-math
as in mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+$offset,$year)
but as soon as you leave php and have to do some calculation in
javascript,
you will encounter functions that behave differently on the pc and mac
platforms. so you have to revert back to the 'add 86400-seconds' to
calculate
the next day.
so I thought it would be nice to have all the timestamps as linear,
non-dst-epoch-seconds (UTC) and I went into the gmmktime() and
gmdate()
functions, assuming they would do the math in a linear second-based
timespace
(in GMT, without DST). That seems to be the case for the output of
'gmdate',
that remains correct, if you count up seconds across the DST boundary
(see
second example).
but it seems that there is no way to calculate the gmt-epoch for a
given
date using gmmktime without having to add/subtract the TZ manually.
gmmktime
will always take your local DST-settings into calculation and upon
conversion
back with gmdate, you will be off by the number of hours of your
timezone.
I thought gmmktime() would handle this as if the computer would be in
Greenwich
(TZ=0), which would then leave us with the two functions
encoding/decoding
consistently.
anyone having solved this properly?

[PHP-DB] Re: Contact Database php_mysql
Normalization depends on how the data will be used. For instance in the contacts database you want to enter a name only once. What you have looks fine but it makes an assumption: Each address has only one contact and each contact only one address. I'm not sure why you want City, State and Zip in other tables. Granted, there are programmitic advantages to doing this, like being able to present a list of cities/states for an entered zip code. If your users will just read or data entry is not important then normalizing those values can be a pain and I think it's overkill. Note: If you want to limit the users to entering valid state codes (a list which hasn't changed in 15 years), just code that into Code Charges validation routine or use a list box with a hard coded list.

Re: [PHP-DB] Contact Database php_mysql
Not so sure you need to go to that much detail in the linking of your tables. It's a good idea for the states, but the zip is usually just an integer anyway, so you can just store that with the record. Next, do you really need Full_Name??? You can extract that from the other two fields. As for city, that's going to be a HUGE table. The only advantage to making another table out of such is if you had more data per record and you need to search really fast. Just store that in with the Contact info the single table. The way I'd do it would be like this: [Contacts] ID int primary key auto_increment not null fname varchar(25) not null lname varchar(35) not null mname varchar(25) suffix varchar(5) addr1 varchar(35) addr2 varchar(35) city varchar(35) not null state int not null zip int not null [State] ID int primary key auto_increment not null state varchar(25) The field sizes are arbitrary, so think about what you're gonna need and size appropriately.
