[PHP-DB] Downloading Database?!?!
Hello all, I am developing an Intranet page for my workplace, ATM i use phpmyadmin to do rutine backups ect, this is cool but i am going on long service leave for 14 weeks and during that time a new guy will attempt to continue to maintain the site and perform regular backups... I tried to show him how to use phpmyadmin but has proved too dificult for him to understand, how can i make a quick script to implement into a page that prompts you to download the entire sctipt in .txt form?? just like php myadmin, and starting tips and hints would be great.

Re: [PHP-DB] Downloading Database?!?!
Have you considered using the console-tool, mysqldump? You could write a quick script ... say mysqldump -u adminuser -p adminpass --all-databases backup.sql tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz backup.sql mv backup.sql /somepath/backup.sql if you're on Winders, a batch file: mysqldump -u adminuser -p adminpass --all-databases backup.sql move backup.sql z:\somepath\backup.sql If you write a batch script, or shell script, all the new guy would have to do is run it. Create a cron job (on linux) or scheduled task (on windows) and the new guy just has to figure out the coffee machine :) Food for thought, ~Steve Brenton Dobell wrote: Hello all, I am developing an Intranet page for my workplace, ATM i use phpmyadmin to do rutine backups ect, this is cool but i am going on long service leave for 14 weeks and during that time a new guy will attempt to continue to maintain the site and perform regular backups...

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP5.0, MySQL4.1, Apache2 on WinXP
PHP 5.0 doesn't come with mysql support... You have to get the libraries yourself... I think u can get them from mysql.com php_mysql is in the extensions directory of the latest downloads, just uncomment it in the php.ini file. Might have to pay? I haven't totally figure out the implications of the no mysql in PHP 5.0 yet, but I know its not there. No charge for it in PHP, it's the changes to the mysql licence that cause the problem. Mysql is not necessarily free for commercial use, and THAT aspect is now being pressed by mysql. Try Firebird - works great with PHP, and many of the add on database packages, and is totally free. www.firebirdsql.org -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] write to word..
Hi
I did it like this
?php
//create file here
//then output it
header (Content-type: application/msword);
header (Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=letter.doc);
include('letter.htm');
print('done it')
?
I wrote the letter to file and then included it, but you can probably just
print HTML as you would normally. Word will open HTML files and maintain the
format.

Subject: [PHP-DB] write to word..
hi,
I'm just wondering if it is possible to write to a word document or any
other file type that would allow for easy editing(besides txt) with out
having to copy and past everything in? I'm looking to have a template
perhaps in word and have the code insert variables from the database.
If it is possible, could some one point me in the right direction. Like
where to look in the manual.
Thanks,
Chris

RE: [PHP-DB] write to word..
Better still,
Take a look at RTF as a file format. Its readable in Word, looks like a Word
doc and can be saved with a '.doc' extension and you can store placeholders
that php can use to 'mail-merge' with.
Works for me.
Cheers
George

[PHP-DB] Re: Pros/Cons Database vs Excel
You can achieve much more with a Database backend, if your boss likes spreadsheets (XLS) then you can always export from any database backend (which ever one you want). He can still keep hyperlinks etc for web access etc if he would display the database results onto webpages/excel/text/etc!. Perhaps your Boss's company is small and he just wants to keep things simple to him and shy away from having to hire somebody that knows how things work when you have databases involved. I agree you have 1000% more possibilities with a database backend! Excel if you look at it is also a 'database' with the capacity to enable users to make it look as a report! (all in one!) its not a great database solution but it works for the small companies. Good luck convincing him! Cheers! Ow Mun Heng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I'm having a problem convincing my boss of the benefits of using a database vs just using excel as a way of tracking events. The boss' stance is that excel is more 'simple' columns can be expanded as and when it's wanted. You can put links into excel that points to files residing in the system (within the web server's reach), can be mailed out to distribution lists (some ppl are lazy to need to open up a browser, log on etc.. to view the data). It can be stored on the web server for retrieval later etc.. For a database, actually a database can do all of the above but to me, it's makes more sense as it can store all the above and provide additional functionality (as long as The code is written to make it more functional). Can anyone help me out and give me a few pointers on why using a database makes more sense then excel. What's needed: 1. Method for tracking sequence of events (sort of like experiment results) 2. Links embedded inside to relevent files (results of experiment) 3. Can be mailed around 4. additional fields can be added whenever wanted something like that..

Re: [PHP-DB] Downloading Database?!?!
You can create a batch file like this or if you want it to be in a web interface much like phpmyadmin, but with your backup scheme you can use the load data outfile command. This page from the mysql manual describes both the infile and outfile methods: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA.html. This will tell you how to use the syntax for the text files. It will let you do it with tabs, commas, etc. Then you can use php to create the interface for your new guy and make it as simple or complex as you like, but you don't even have to use the filesystem functions to do it this way. Which does make it a little simpler so that you can plan for 14 weeks of whatever you're doing.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: ./configure stupidity
You may want to consider that RedHat 7.3 is quite out dated. If you just did your install recently I would firct recommend upgrading to RedHat 9. You might also want to consider debian instead. I'm a redhat fan but when it comes to keep packages up to date and providing advanced functionality in packages debian sure seems to beat the pants off of RedHat. But, sorry, that doesn't help your immediate problem. - Jeff On Thu, 2003-07-24 at 11:33, Nabil wrote: please please would you help me to get mysql - gd - iodbc (odbc) - mssql - apache I need to upgrade because i need the new one with iodbc support not unixODBC. and i need it with ofcourse ( mysql - gd - iodbc (odbc) - mssql - apache ) I have read so many articles all over the web, and i reffered to php.net ...
