RE: [PHP-DB] Duplicate rows
Thanks to every one that gave their inputs in order to solve my problem. It was solved with a simple SQL statement using a sub-query like: insert into products (id, code, desc, everused) select distinct '', code,desc, everused from catalog Now my products table has only 8500 records!! -Original Message- From: Ade Olonoh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Miércoles, 01 de Marzo de 2006 12:19 p.m. To: Miguel Guirao Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Duplicate rows Assuming you're using MySQL, instead of using INSERT INTO, you can use REPLACE INTO instead. If you have unique keys on that table, the new record will overwrite existing records with the same unique keys instead of creating a new one. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html --Ade. Miguel Guirao wrote: My dear beloved friends, I have a catalog of products that a product provider gave, sadly for me, in this CSV file there are many duplicated rows. I edited the file in my Linux system with the uniq -u command, and it worked somewhat fine, it eliminated some duplicated rows, originally the file had 24K rows, and now it has been reduced to 15k rows. Anyhow, there are still duplicated rows, and since this is a catalog, it should not have duplicated rows!!! Now the catalog has been has been loaded into the DB. How can I continue eliminating duplicated rows? As far as I remember the is a sentence in SQL to only show ONE row of duplicated rows, maybe if I do a select using this sentence and then put this new recordset in another table, it will work!!

[PHP-DB] Installing PEAR
I know this may be a bit off-topic, but I would like to use the PEAR library to implement some of my database functions. Unfortunately, the PEAR documentation is woefully incomplete and as a result i've been unable to install it properly. Here's the procedure i went through: PHP Version: 5.1.2 Apache Version: 2.0.55 MySQL Version: 5.0.18 Windows XP Pro 1. launch the go-pear batch file 2. select system-wide installation 3. use default install directories: (Seems fine to me since PHP is installed into C:\PHP) Installation Base ($prefix) C:\PHP Binaries DirectoryC:\PHP PHP code Directory ($php_dir) C:\PHP\pear Documentation Directory C:\PHP\pear\docs Data Directory C:\PHP\pear\data Tests DirectoryC:\PHP\pear\tests Name of Configuration FileC:\WINDOWS\pear.ini Path to CLI php.exe C:\PHP\. 4. The batch file tells me pear is installed 5. I add the environment variable via the PEAR_ENV.reg file 6. add the line require db.php and load to this message: Warning: require(DB.php) [function.require http://localhost/function.require ]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wwwroot\phpinfo.php on line 2 Fatal error: require() [function.require http://localhost/function.require ]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;C:\PHP\pear') in C:\wwwroot\phpinfo.php on line 2 7. Figure DB might not be installed by default, so follow the website's instructions by attempting to call it from the command line: pear install db = not recognized as internal or external command, bla bla bla c:\php\pear install db = see above c:\php\pear\pear install db = see above 8. get annoyed, go back to phpinfo file, remove erroneous line and look for references to PEAR, come up with the following (only) line: include_path .;C:\PHP\pear .; C:\PHP\pear 9. Go crazy, hit cute, fuzzy animals. I apolagize for the length of my e-mail, but I know that being thorough helps most of the time. Does anyone have any advice or ideas?
Re: [PHP-DB] Installing PEAR
I remember the quick install/test I did using PEAR and I kind of had a similar experience, but I figured out what the issue was for me. PEAR installed perfectly but doing the pear install thing where it pulls the package down and puts it where it needs to put it, I was doing what you were doing pear packagename and it wasn't working. What fixed it for me was adding the version number to the end of the name. Looks like PEAR DB is at 1.7.6, so try something like: pear install db1.7.6 But it also sounds like maybe you're not getting the pear install to work properly too. So maybe you need to fix something else before you get to this point. Just wanted to mention it to prevent a potential extra frustration for you. Back to work for me.. working late on a Friday sucks.. so forgive me if I'm not entirely helpful.. just wanted to pass that nugget along in case it was useful. -TG = = = Original message = = = I know this may be a bit off-topic, but I would like to use the PEAR library to implement some of my database functions.

[PHP-DB] Adding time in php
Hi All I have two tables with columns of times that it took to perform tasks eg: 8:40 6:50 8:30 10:55 - 34:55 total time taken to complete the tasks in hours and minutes I am able to add the times with sql however I need to add the totals to cone up with a grand total and because of the makeup of the tables I cant use sql. I am there for going to have to use php code and this is where the problem comes in because in sql there is SEC_TO_TIME and TIME_TO_SEC functions that allow easy addition of the times but I cant find an equivalent in php. Does any one know of a way that I can add to times together in php. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
