[PHP-DB] Insert problem
G'day all,
I have a problem with an insert which is proving infuriating. When I run
the following code everything seems to work (no errors) except the database
remains empty. When I echo $query and run it from a command line it inserts
fine. I don't get any connection errors - in fact when I echo the
connection variables, it reflects a valid db connection.
Finally, if I change if (! $result = 1) to if (! $result = 0) it fires which
tends to indicate the query was successful.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
cheers

It seems that my text file was a UNICODE text file I have no idea how that happened as this was exported from Excel. So, anyway, now I know to check the file format before I spend over 100 hours trying to figure out why I could not INSERT to a database. Thanks to all who offered help, thoughts and comments.

Re: [PHP-DB] ODBC Database
Unless I am mistaken, but isn't there an ODBC driver available for MySQL called MyODBC? -- bob On Sun, 10 Aug 2003, Gerard Samuel wrote: Larry E.Ullman wrote: Im looking at venturing into working with PHP's ODBC extention.

MySQL is kind of free, installs on W2K and is easy to use but it doesn't require PHP's ODBC extension since PHP already has a good MySQL extension. If you really want to use ODBC and you have MS Office, you could try Access. What Im doing is seeing if my code will run on different databases. Of which it currently runs on mySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL. As soon as I can get PHP5 installed Ill be checking out SQLLite. But in the meantime, Im looking for a database that would interface with ODBC. I just downloaded IBM's DB2 Personal Edition, to see what I can do there, but, Im just looking for advice etc from others who went down this road.

[PHP-DB] mysql problem importing data
Hi there, I have a data file with data seperated by semicolons. It is about 8MB big. Now I just want to import it into mysql. I tryed several things. First I took phpmyadmin, which resulted in a white page without error msg. Then I tryed it by hand with load data. This did not work as well. No I installed myodbc and tryed to export it from MS Access.

Here is my code for one user if they are logged in if anyone can help me
or lead me in the right direction I would appreicate it very much my brain

$userTickets = 0;
$query = SELECT events.e_id, events.t_id, events.e_status, .
events.e_assignedto, ticket.t_id FROM events,ticket .
WHERE events.t_id = ticket.t_id ORDER BY .
events.t_id, events.e_id;;
$result = query( $query );
$row = mysql_fetch_row( $result );
$prev_e_id = $row[0];
$prev_t_id = $row[1];
$prev_e_status = $row[2];
$prev_e_assignedto = $row[3];
$done = 0;

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP MSSQL
This is true if Shaun was using MySQL, but he is using MSSQL. MSSQL allowas you to declare char and varchar fields with lengths up to 8000 characters. Unfortunately the extension bundled with PHP cannot read beyond the first 255 characters. This is primarily due to the fact that the extension was built using DB-LIB, which does not adequately support all of the new data types introduced in MSSQL 7.0 and 2000. -- bob On Mon, 11 Aug 2003, Matthew McNicol wrote: Shaun, the MySQL manual suggests that you have hit your limit using the VARCHAR field type (255 characters). To store 6,000 characters have you not considered using the TEXT field type? 6.2.3.1 The CHAR and VARCHAR Types The CHAR and VARCHAR types are similar, but differ in the way they are stored and retrieved. The length of a CHAR column is fixed to the length that you declare when you create the table. The length can be any value between 1 and 255. (As of MySQL Version 3.23, the length of CHAR may be 0 to 255.) When CHAR values are stored, they are right-padded with spaces to the specified length. When CHAR values are retrieved, trailing spaces are removed. Values in VARCHAR columns are variable-length strings. You can declare a VARCHAR column to be any length between 1 and 255, just as for CHAR columns. However, in contrast to CHAR, VARCHAR values are stored using only as many characters as are needed, plus one byte to record the length. Values are not padded; instead, trailing spaces are removed when values are stored. (This space removal differs from the SQL-99 specification.) No case conversion takes place during storage or retrieval. If you assign a value to a CHAR or VARCHAR column that exceeds the column's maximum length, the value is truncated to fit. - Original Message - From: Shaun Bentley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 11:23 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP MSSQL Hi I am currently trying to use PHP and MSSQL together but I am having a few problems.

RE: [PHP-DB] Don't know why query works this way
Quoting Aaron Wolski [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Here's some functions I use in my development which save on connect and
query calls for me.
//General Purpose Utilities.
//db_connect connects to the database server and selects the proper
database.
//Arguments: None
//Returns: Nothing
function db_connect() {
mysql_pconnect(localhost,username,password);
mysql_select_db(Database);
}
//db_query queries the database server and returns the results.
//Arguments: SQL query string
//Returns: Query results
function db_query($query) {
return mysql_query($query);
}
//db_fetch returns the next set of results from a db_query.
//Arguments: db_query results variable
//Returns: Next set of query results as an array or 0 if no further
results are present
function db_fetch($results) {
return mysql_fetch_array($results);
}
//db_numrows returns the number of rows selected from a query.
//Arguments: query result
//Returns: number of rows in the query result
function db_numrows($result) {
return mysql_num_rows($result);
}
//Always connect to the database!
db_connect();
Keep these in an include file. The db_connect(); goes at the bottom and
keep the connection open during the routines.
To call db_query you would use it like:
$someQuery = db_query(SELECT * from someTable );
to get the results out of the query you would call db_fetch and use it
like:
$someResult = db_fetch($someQuery);
If you needed to return an array you would use it with a while or for
statement like:
While ($someResult = db_fetch($someQuery)) {
}
If you needed to get the number of rows from the query you'd use like:
numRows = db_numrows($someQuery);
or
if (db_numrows($someQuery) ...)
These are just some thing I use to make my life easier.
Hope it helps
Not to be rude... but what does that have to do with his question?
