[PHP-DB] date problem in MySQL DB
Hi guys This might be slightly off topic but hopefully someone can help. I have a field that is a varchar and I stored dates in it. But now I want to change the type of the column to date, but I have a problem that the formats differ: my format: mm/dd/ mySQL format: -mm-dd So can I either: a. change the format of the date format or b. do i have to write a function that changes my format to the mySQL before changing the column type??

You need to do option (b). Since this is a PHP list, I'd recommend strtotime() and date() to do the formatting. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Angelo
Yes you will have to reformat and he is something that may help you.
Hope it does
function dateCheckMysql ($date) {
list($dateDay, $dateMonth, $dateYear) = explode(/, $date);
if ((is_numeric($dateDay)) (is_numeric($dateMonth))
(is_numeric($dateYear))) {
if (!checkdate($dateMonth, $dateDay, $dateYear)) {
return false;
} else {
return($dateYear./.$dateMonth./.$dateDay);
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
function dateCheckForm($date) {
list($dateYear, $dateMonth, $dateDay) = explode(-, $date);
if ((is_numeric($dateDay)) (is_numeric($dateMonth))
(is_numeric($dateYear))) {
return($dateDay./.$dateMonth./.$dateYear);
} else {
return false;
}
}
Many Thanks

Dear Cal Evans, Assuming you mean from PHP, you can't directly do that. PHP is server side, Printing is client side. If you are working in a Printing is possible on server side PHP has some print functions but that works on Windows only that also on serverside not the client side In javascript you may do something like a href=# OnClick='window.print()'Click to print /a Regards, Vishal Kashyap -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Wow, that's lots of code. I'd recommend something simpler. Like:
$mysqlDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($myDate));
$myDate = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($mysqlDate));
No checking involved, just one line of code.

[PHP-DB] PHP Java problem
Hi,
I've started putting together a site that uses PHP to access some custom
Java classes. While I'm not clear on what exactly the java classes are
doing, the programmer has given me an overview of the variables that I
should pass to them. However, I keep getting this error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
The java programmer has no knowledge of PHP and so is unable to help locate
the source of the problem (tbh I'm don't have experience in large php
projects myself). The code I'm writing is in the following format:
$newobject = new Java('com.company.Class', $names, (String) $ssn, (int)
$time);
In the above example, $names is an object, $ssn a string and $time an
integer. The object $names is created in a similar way above this example.
Someone mentioned that I should be passing objects as arrays, but I'm not
clear on how this is done.
I've tested a very basic class to be sure it works, and had success, however
when I try to pass objects into classes, and multiple variables, it doesnt
work. I hope someone can shed some light on where I might be going wrong.
Many thanks,
Don

[PHP-DB] Database abstraction
Hi, I've read several posts touching this subject, but I didn't find one that asks a simple question I've been wondering about since I first used PHP and that is also one of the two really really bad things about PHP (the other being lack of OO): Why isn't there a DB abstraction layer right in PHP, so people writing some web app for redistribution don't have to care about the different DBs themselves? Why is there no modularization in this area, such that it'd be the _normal_ way not to write things like $dbh = ibase_pconnect( ... ), but $dbh = sql_connect( Firebird, ... ) and that would internally check if a Firebird/InterBase driver is available and if so, use it. Surely there are some differences in SQL conformance and syntax extensions, but even that could be handled by such a layer to some extent.

Please do not write a new post by replying to an old post and changing
its subject and content. It screws up threading in the better e-mail
clients (mutt, Thunderird, etc.) as it keeps the thread's headers.
It looks like your client doesn't have . in their include_path in the
php.ini. They could change their php.ino to have . in it and fix
things quick and simple.
Or, you can use ini_set() to set the value yourself. You'd probably want
to do something like this in your files:
ini_set('include_path', '.:'.ini_get('include_path'));

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP Java problem
Hi
php has very loose typing. This means that you can use a string as a number
and visa versa. You could for example do (substr(1 day,0,1) + 5) and get
the answer 1+5=6
php actually converts on the fly to do the above. The downside is that you
cannot always be sure what type a variable is. Form variable are always
strings, even if they are numbers.
I am not a java engineer either but argument type mismatch might be that
you are passing a string when it expects a number or visa versa.
Try using settype() to force the type
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php
and see if this fixes it.
Just a guess though, hope it helps
Peter

I don't know anything about Java in PHP myself, but here's a function
that will convert an object to an associative array for you.
function objToAssoc($obj) {
if(is_object($obj)) {
$arr = get_object_vars($obj);
} else {
$arr = $obj;
}
if(is_array($arr)) {
foreach($arr as $key = $val) {
$arr[$key] = objToAssoc($val);
}
}
return $arr;
}
