[PHP-DB] connecting to a remote db?
Hi there everyone, I have a secure server and another separate servr, both use PHP and MySQL however, I need to connect to a db off of the secure server, how can I do this? I normally use localhost if its on the same machine, but how can I connect the DB to a DB on my other machine as I cannot use this particular DB on my secure server?

RE: [PHP-DB] Executing Queries from a File Using PHP
all you have to do is put one query per line in the file, it may be hard to
read, but who cares.
and then it is as simple as.
$contents = file(sql.txt); //file function reads file into array
while (list ($qry)) = each($contents)) {
mysql_query($qry);
}
Just a thought

RE: [PHP-DB] Executing Queries from a File Using PHP
although this goes without saying but in my petty need for completion, i
feel i must writethere is obviously SO much more that can be done where
i put the mysql_query($qry), whether it be updating, inserting, selecting
etc... but that can be a starting point.
i feel better, thank you for your indulgence. :)

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Error Loading File -- Sort of Fixed
Ok, if anyone else is having the same trouble with PHP 4.2.1, David Robley's suggestion (Thank you David!) works. I am not to proud to have missed the obvious :) If you are having trouble loading files (LOAD INFILE...) with PHP into MySQL, just do a chmod($file, 0777), and it works. Not sure why this version of PHP doesn't give full permissions in the /tmp directory, but. Thanks all. David Robley wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Whoops :), Yes, this is using phpMyAdmin, trying to use the Insert data from a textfile into table function, which uploads a file and the attempts to LOAD DATA INFILE. Like I said below, it worked on PHP 4.1.2, then when upgraded to PHP 4.2.1, it gave the error : The file '/tmp/phpr4WYQY' must be in the database directory or be readable by all I ran through the phpMyAdmin scripts and watched it up until it tried to load the file, and it wouldn't read it. The /tmp directory is drwxrwxrwx and the files in it are -rw--, but I don't know how to get those changed in PHP. Anyway, on a different server, I could have sworn I got the same problem but the uploaded files in the /tmp directory were -rwxrwxrwx. Any ideas? Thanks David Robley wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... I am getting this error with a new install of PHP4.2.1 and Zend Optimizer 1.3.1: The file '/tmp/phpr4WYQY' must be in the database directory or be readable by all I just updated PHP and the Zend Optimizer, and it had worked previously with PHP4.1.2, Any ideas?? Because you are asking on the db list, I'll guess that you are trying to use LOAD DATA INFILE? The file you are trying to load needs to be world readable if it isn't in the database directory. If this isn't the problem, can you be a bit more specific about the circumstances in which this error appears? chmod() ??
[PHP-DB] MySQL timestamp field in different time zone
How do I get a MySQL timestamp field to update itself when the server is in a different time zone, i.e., I want it to have the date for my time zone. The field updates itself automatically, of course, without being referenced in the SQL query. I'd like to avoid having to change every query to include tweaking the field for the different time zone. kind regards, bill hollett -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL timestamp field in different time zone
I had a similar issue where I wanted timestamps to be relative to the user. I didn't find any better way then to create some profile data that contained their timezone and allow them to save that data. Then anytime I displayed a timestamp I added the timezone shift to the stamp. It would be nice if the browser sent timezone information in the header, but as far as I know it does not.

No, it is similar to your situation. Server is in another time zone from the user. I want the timestamp to be relative to the user, not the server.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL timestamp field in different time zone
Well then, the client needs to do the work since the client is the only side that knows the users timezone. Assuming you have a browser for a client I think you're stuck with the solution I had which was require the user to store (in the db, or in a cookie) their timezone and do the calculation either on the sql or upon displaying but it has to happen on the client.

[PHP-DB] Book about Metabase
Hello, Just thought you would like to know that a new book named PHP and XML was released with a whole chapter dedicated to Metabase. Despite the book is about XML, the Metabase chapter talks about its use of XML to describe schemas to be installed automatically by Metabase and also the database independent access to databases using Metabase API. A review of the book will be published in the next weeks here not by me (I don't want you to think it would be biased) but by Alex Black of BinaryCloud fame. http://www.phpclasses.org/products.html/id/0735712271.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Displaying results from JOIN
Hello,
With some help from the mysql list, I've been able to get this query working
from the command line
SELECT *
FROM outings as o INNER JOIN pics AS p1 ON o.pic1_id=p1.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p2 ON o.pic2_id=p2.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p3 ON o.pic3_id=p3.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p4 ON o.pic4_id=p4.pic_id;
But when I plug it in to my script
?php
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM outings as o INNER JOIN pics AS p1
ON o.pic1_id=p1.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p2 ON o.pic2_id=p2.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p3 ON o.pic3_id=p3.pic_id
INNER JOIN pics AS p4 ON o.pic4_id=p4.pic_id,$db) or die(mysql_error());
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
do {
print tdimg src=$myrow[path]/td;
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}
?
It will display only one of the paths not all four. I think I have to
somehow alias in the SELECT part of the query, but I haven't been able to
figure out how.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Mike

Re: [PHP-DB] how is it possible to read data from an excel workbook ?
Hi, The majority of the problems arise when you try to do something that's not idiomatic to the language or endemic to the environment. MS Excel PHP do not co-exist, and you will have a lot of headaches whenever you try using some M$ product with a non-M$ technology. However that being said...here is where I see some hope: a) Use COM and access MS Excel. Ofcourse your PHP code will not be portable and you will have to learn to use COM. b) I'm not sure if Excel is accessible as an ODBC database. IIRC, VB used to allow me to use MS Excel as a file database. c) Have the excel file converted to CSV file by some programmatic meansVB... office macro whatever and then import the CSV via PHP into Access.
