It might be a feature of PHP's connection caching.   Why don't
you log a bug in the PHP bug DB so the problem can be tracked?
Do you really need to keep reconnecting?

Re: [PHP-DB] Lock Record on Postgresql

2004-08-13 Thread Miles Thompson
Norma,
Generally speaking issuing locks on records across the internet is not a 
good idea. Too many things can happen that could result in the record 
never  being unlocked.

Recognize the HTTP is stateless, that's one of its limitations, and work 
around that.

Thanks for answer Miles, I'm aware of what you wrote but have a little hope
to find some way, and Robby what I'm trying to do is avoid the user for
update or delete a record that other user has been already selected, so I
cant tell something like: This record is locked by another user, try
later, currently I'm doing this by code but like to do by Postgres
directly.

Hi Norma,

you can achieve this in a much more comfortable and elegant way:

Create an integer column named oca (stands for Optimistic Concurrency
Control Attribute). When you load the data to show them in the editing form
store the value in a hidden field or in the session (if you are using
sessions). Then when you update the data use the following statement:

UPDATE table SET column = '$value' ..., oca = oca + 1 WHERE user_id =
$user_id AND oca = $value_from_hidden_field

After performing the query check the affected rows. If there is one affected
row the update was succesful. If there are no affected rows it means that
someone else updated this row in the meantime (thereby incrementing oca) and
you can show a message like:

Since the start of your editing process someone else updated this record
set. Please cancel and edit the record again.

This way you will never lock out a record set forever like Miles wrote and
the user will at least be able to open the record set and see all data -
even if sometimes (should be very seldom) he has to cancel and start again.

I hope you get my point - it's a bit difficult to explain.

Best regards, Torsten Roehr

I actually assumed that. This *can* be done in a query, but it
requires sub-queriesunions. Something like this:

SELECT * FROM computer WHERE cat = 'A' ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1
UNION
SELECT * FROM computer WHERE cat = 'B' ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 5

[PHP-DB] retry, this time with code [was: [PHP-DB] [newbie] Form to email *and* insert row to MySQL]

2004-08-13 Thread Ben Galin
My last email shows on the archive but it also bounced back to me so I 
am reposting it.  Sorry of this is a double-post.

Also, I am adding this time the source code down below which I should 
have probably done last time around.

Any help is much appreciated, Ben.
repost
Hello guys,
I have an HTML form with the action attribute set to the famous
FormMail.pl and it works beautifully.  However, I also want to insert
the data into a MySQL database.
Initially, I thought that I would let FormMail validate the data, send
the email, and then redirect to a PHP script that would use the $_POST
array to INSERT it into my db [see source below].  Of course, it didn't 
work.  AFAICT, both
the FormMail script and the PHP script need to be called from the form's
action attribute.

1 - Is there a way to call them both?
 From lurking around and reading tutorials, I understand that it is
possible to send emails with PHP and that I don't need to use FormMail
at all.  However, I have been told that FormMail is a relatively safe
script that won't let hackers exploit either the server or myself.  I
am not quite sure what such exploits might be, but I trust that the
hackers are...
2 - If I am to drop FormMail, what PHP script should I use to protect
my, and the server's, security?
Which brings us to the next point: the PHP script that I currently use
is very straightforward ([see below]) and the subuser has
only INSERT privileges.
3 - Am I putting anything (db, server) in a danger with this script?
Cheers,
  Ben
