[PHP-DB] Re: File Upload ---Thanks!
Yep. Been using Mac OS X (10.1 - 10.2.3) with mySQL no problems. I built it from source first time, but now I just use Mac OS X packages from Mark Liyanage. You can find them here. Also he has a good pre-compiled PHP4 you can download and use. http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/ Adam Thanks folks - persistence pays off and so does group discussions . I had chmodded the uploads directory to 777 but it was within the public_html directory with different file permissions so I guess public_html permissions were taking presidence. After reading all of your suggestions... a little light turned on and I moved the uploads directory outside of the public-html directory and Volia! Uploading file... File uploaded successfully Preview of uploaded file contents: THIS IS A TEST. Thanks Again. Anyone using a Macintosh with MySql? That is my next goal. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] mysql time format
on 1/6/03 8:24 PM, David Chamberlin at [EMAIL PROTECTED] appended the
following bits to my mbox:
Is there any way to set the time format so that any time values in my
SELECT call are in a speicified format (e.g., HH:MM instead of HH:MM:SS).
Basically I've got a table of a variety of different types, some of
which are times. I want to issue a select that retrieves all of the
data for a row, and have any time values be returned in HH:MM (for example).
I can (very painfully) go through all the results, figure out which ones
are time values, and then do SELECT TIME_FORMAT() on each one of those,
but that seems like a horrendous solution to a simple problem.
As John said, there's not a way (I know of) to just tell MySQL to display
times in a different format without the TIME_FORMAT calls.
Why not add the TIME_FORMAT calls to the original query rather than
performing all the extra queries? Is your first select something like the
following?
SELECT * FROM table
Even if you don't want to specify all the columns, you could add the
additional ones like this:
SELECT *,TIME_FORMAT(time_column_1,'%whatever') AS time_column_1 FROM table
If you are using a mysql_fetch_assoc function, giving the alias the same
name as the original column makes only the alias show up in your array.
If you don't know what all the time columns are, you could do a SHOW
COLUMNS FROM table query first, then use PHP to parse the results to tell
you which fields are time types, then use that result to build a query like
that above. (You could also use one of the php mysql_field_* functions.)
HTH.

You can do it very nicely with MySQL:
$query = SELECT WEEKDAY( '{$mydate}' ) ;
Provided your date is correctly formatted ( -mm-dd )

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Passing variables through a page
If you use sessions, you can pass the variables without having to
wory about interim pages. Another option (I don't know if it will
actually work) is to put the variables in the the URL of the location
redirect. Something like:
$loc=http://www.yourdomain.com/nextpage?var1=$var1var2=$var2;;
header(location: $loc);

I don't think there are many other possiblities, at least if you

Instead of the redirect, you could perhaps use require() to include
one
of the two possible pages, and thus avoid one server-client
roundtrip.
At the moment I have created a page between dept_select.php and
the other
pages and added the following code to it:
?php
if ($department==5-14 Curriculum)
{
header(Location:5-14_select_area.php);
}
elseif ($level==5-14 Curriculum)
{
header(Location:5-14_select_area.php);

else
{
header(Location:add_new_resources.php);

The Location header requires an absolute URI, e.g.
http://your_host/path/your_file.php.
I'm not sure whether this is a database question ;-)

[PHP-DB] Looking for Beta testers
Hi, I have been developing a Java Swing UI for MySQL and I am to a point where I need to have some PHP developers try it out. This is NOT an interface that manages your databases, tables and columns. What it does is allows you to connect to a database on your MySQL server, select a table and get a list of its column names. You then select an HTML form element from a pull down menu, such as, a text field or radio button, and drag and drop the column name into your text editor. It concatenates the column name, the html and the PHP for you. I am especially interested in having the PHP code that the application writes evaluated. I want it to be generic enough to accommodate a lot of different coding styles but not so simple that it does not save the developer any time writing repetitive code, which is the point. It should run on any Java virtual machine supporting JDBC-1.2 or JDBC-2.0 (JDK-1.2 or higher) and connect to any MySQL server supporting version 9 or 10 of the MySQL protocol. I have tested it on MacOSX and Windows 2000. I would like to know how it behaves on Linux or other systems running the latest JVM. If you would like to test a demo feel free to contact me off list.

[PHP-DB] Sore head...
My head is sore from banging my head on my desk, so I will now ask
the gurus...
I am trying to get a canned Calendar application working, and I am
running into problems. The application is phpCommunityCalendar by
AppIdeas.com. The calendar is currently semi-functional, but for some
reason the approval system is not working for me. I am trying to
troubleshoot why this is the case and this is where I am running into
problems. The following is a bit of code that I do not understand and was
hoping that someone could clear up for me.
** Not sure exactly what this code does, especially the %% portion**
if (!$glbl_LocationID) {
$glbl_LocationID = 0;
$LocQuery = LocationID LIKE '%%';
} else {
$LocQuery = LocationID = '$glbl_LocationID';
}
** SNIP This section queries the database for events that have been
submitted but NOT approved, this is the Active = '0'**
$result = mysql($DBName,SELECT CalendarDetailsID FROM phpCalendar_Daily
WHERE Active = '0') or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$ID[$i] = $row[0];
$i++;
}
** SNIP Based on looking at the DB, this section associates the matched
item descriptions for display**
for ($j = 0; $ID[$j]; $j++) {
$query .= OR CalendarDetailsID = '$ID[$j]';
}
$query = ereg_replace(^ OR ,,$query);
if (!$query) {
echo centerbThere are no results to display/b/center;
commonFooter();
exit;

display (Active = 0), nothing actually appears**
$result = mysql($DBName,SELECT *

WHERE .$LocQuery. AND (.$query.)
ORDER BY Title) or die(mysql_error());
OK. I have tested the basics of the SQL in both the second section
and the last section. If I manually query the database as in the second
section, and then use that output in the query of the last section I am
returned a record as expected. This is the reason why I am lost as to why
this is not working here.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [PHP-DB] Sore head...
Heh. I used this app in one of my sites, (www.9250x.com) it has some
nice features, but whoever programmed it didn't intend for anyone else
to make changes, that's for sure.
The '%%' in the first snippet is some SQL code, '%' is a wildcard in
SQL, so the gist of that section is If $global_locationID is false,
then make it = 0, and allow the database to return values with ANY
locationID, otherwise just return those records that match the
global_locationID
The second snippet just builds an array out of the unapproved records.
Like you said.
You're right on with the third as well. I would suggest finding the
place where the query is actually submitted, and add an echo $sql; type
statement so you can see the actual query that is being sent to the
database, that may clear things up a little.

I agree with Dave. I wrote an application to allow a client to upload/manage images and categorise them into diff. parts of their website. Images were stored as normal image files after upload and a pointer made to them from the appropriate database record (which had additional image info e.g. description) Since I now have to move this website to a new server - transferring all these files was a bit annoying.

As I said, wordwrap() is broken in some PHP versions and that is why I use my class function WrapText() instead of wordwrap(). Of course I use my class for more than just wrapping text as it is mostly meant to compose and send properly formatted e-mail messages, some in HTML with alternative text parts, embedded images in HTML, attachments, etc.. If you do not need all that, you may just take out the WrapText function and use it separately as it does not need the rest of the class functions.

What I use is a function that is part of a message composing and sending class that basically does the same as wordwrap except that it works well in all PHP versions without any security problems.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Breaking up new lines for e-mail
on 1/7/03 7:41 PM, Gavin Amm at [EMAIL PROTECTED] appended the following bits to my mbox: For example, they might type in the following (between the dashed lines): -- Hi, Please send me some info. Thanks, Gav -- When I receive the mail, however, it looks like this: -- Hi, Please send me some info. Thanks, Gav -- This is fine for such a short message, but lengthy messages would be horrid to read if all the line breaks were taken out... This probably should be on PHP-General, since it isn't related to databases. That said and not having seen the code, I'm wondering if the user may be submitting the form from a Macintosh computer which uses carriage returns as end of line characters. If that were the case, they might not show up in a windows email client as line breaks. You might want to convert all line breaks to Windows style CRLF, that is \r\n. It may be that CRLF is required by one of the email RFCs. Something like: $text = str_replace(\r\n,\n,$text); // windows to unix $text = str_replace(\r,\n,$text); // mac to unix $text = str_replace(\n,\r\n,$text); // all to windows HTH.

RE: [PHP-DB] Breaking up new lines for e-mail
Would someone mind pointing me to a function, or some code, or give me a seudo-code start for the following: I'm using the mail() function. If someone submits the form with text in the multi-line textarea, any carrige returns (ie, by pressing ENTER) are taken out the body is sent as a single line. I'm sending the e-mail in plain text. Maybe try a different WRAP attribute for your textarea. Options are VIRTUAL, PHYSICAL, and NONE/OFF (can't remember which). You probably want PHYSICAL, which will insert newlines when the text wraps in the box. What are you using to view these emails? ---John W. Holmes...

Well, the first thing is that you're selecting 'time' from your table when the column is named 'timestamp'... Second, you need to use a mysql_fetch_row/array/object/assoc function to retrieve the row from the result set returned by mysql_query. ---John W. Holmes...

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Passing variables through a page
Sessions are better. If you want to use the header to pass the
variable:
header(Location:5-14_select_area.php?department=$department); (use an
ampersand for adding additional variables as mentioned by Mark.
You should call a clean function from an include file (add the document
root directory in the php.ini file so you can place the file in a
different directory and PHP always knows where to find it when you
include it without having to reference the entire document root - very
handy) to prevent someone from altering your intended input (this is why
sessions are better).
?php
//include.inc
function clean($input, $maxlength)
{
$input = substr($input, 0, $maxlength);
$input = EscapeShellCmd($input);
return ($input);
}
?
Then for the 5-14_select_area.php file:
?php
//5-14_select_area.php
include_once 'include.inc';
if(!empty($department))
{
$department = clean($department, 15);
}
if(!empty($level))
{
$level = clean($level, 15);
}
your queries follow
..
?
Hope that is what you were looking for.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Passing variables through a page
If you use sessions, you can pass the variables without having to
wory about interim pages. Another option (I don't know if it will
actually work) is to put the variables in the the URL of the location
redirect. Something like:
$loc=http://www.yourdomain.com/nextpage?var1=$var1var2=$var2;;
header(location: $loc);

I have a page (dept_select) with two drop down lists populated

need to go to another page (add_new_resources.php) but I need to
pass the

I don't think there are many other possiblities, at least if you
don't
want to use JavaScript (and I hope you don't).
Instead of the redirect, you could perhaps use require() to include
one
of the two possible pages, and thus avoid one server-client
roundtrip.
At the moment I have created a page between dept_select.php and
the other
pages and added the following code to it:
?php
if ($department==5-14 Curriculum)
{
header(Location:5-14_select_area.php);
}
elseif ($level==5-14 Curriculum)
{
header(Location:5-14_select_area.php);
}
else
{
header(Location:add_new_resources.php);
}
?
The Location header requires an absolute URI, e.g.
http://your_host/path/your_file.php.
I'm not sure whether this is a database question ;-)

RE: [PHP-DB] displaying a MySQL date in a different format
[snip] In a receipt to the customer you might want to show them their date of order and other information using: $query=SELECT DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y'), it.cost FROM order o, item it WHERE cust_id = $custId; To display this: $date=$row[DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y')]; echo $date; As an alternative, you can use a query such as this: $query = SELECT DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y') as alias, ... and then print the value with $date = $row['alias']; echo $date; instead of using row[DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y')]; It makes things easier to read in your code, too... ---John W.

Re: [PHP-DB] blob
I want to be able to load PDFs into mysql DB, but I'm not very familiar with the blob data type? Can someone point me on the right direction how to do this? Use fopen() in binary mode and fread() to read the file into a string, then insert it into the database as you would any other variable in any other column. Make sure you have a large enough BLOB to support your file sizes. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
