What is the quickest way to manipulate an image?
With ImageMagick from PHP:

Re: [PHP-DB] flash/php problem
Actually, I don't see why either method would work: The SWF is in a static HTML page. It requests an mp3, and loads it without having to refresh. So it needs an mp3 returned, not another SWF. Updating the DB from the SWF call sounds cool, but serverside wise requires the .htaccess updated to instruct .swf requests from that dir to be read as PHP. The PHP script would need to update the DB then open the mp3 and write the correct headers before returning it. What's the AMFPHP deal? Flash Remoting. Action Message Format. Like SOAP but better :D Tony -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] flash/php problem
This question isn't really a PHP-DB thang is it? Anyway, it sounds like you have a lot of swfs on the page. One for each song, is that right? In that case your best bet would be something like what you already have: embed src='play.swf?ID=74...' i.e. push the variable into flash from the page that contains it. If you only have a small amount of info the swf needs you can just keep on with the theme ID=74URL=yourmama.comTITLE=YoMama etc. If you want to pull a lot more information from the DB after the page has loaded then you should take a look at PHPObject or AMFPHP. Hint, AMFPHP is a lot more robust and faster. And don't forget that you need to write the vars to a Param tag too.

Re: [PHP-DB] flash/php problem
how can i update my DB through Flash, using PHP.
The easy way...
Flash:
var info:String = YoMama;
var id:Number = 12;
getURL(http://myserver.com/my_db_update_page.php;, _self, GET);
PHP [my_db_update_page.php]:
?php
include_once('db_connection_script.php');
if ($_GET['info'] $_GET['id']){
$id = addslashes($_GET['id']);
$info = addslashes($_GET['info']);
$sql = update table_name set info='$info' where id='$id';
mysql_query($sql);
}
?
This won't tell you if there has been an error during the update. If you need
confirmation use AMFPHP.

Re: [PHP-DB] flash/php problem
On second thoughts you probably better off with load variables.
Flash:
var info:String = YoMama;
var id:Number = 12;
loadVariables(http://myserver.com/my_db_update_page.php?id=+id+info=+info+;,
this);
PHP [my_db_update_page.php]:
?php
include_once('db_connection_script.php');
if ($_GET['info'] $_GET['id']){
$id = addslashes($_GET['id']);
$info = addslashes($_GET['info']);
$sql = update table_name set info='$info' where id='$id';
mysql_query($sql);
if (!mysql_errno()) {
print 'result=good';
exit;
}
}
print 'result=bad';
?
The function for checking the result is in the flash manual:
Actionscript Language Reference loadVariables()

Sorry I didn't read this thread thoroughly enough. This looks like a good
solution to me.
You just need to have the swf make the request and return the mp3 to
the swf not
a reference to another swf.
query(update hitcounter set plays = plays+1 where file = {$_GET['file']});
if (!error) header(Location: {$_GET['file']}.mp3);

[PHP-DB] Sybase CALL statement problems
When retrieving ODBC results from Sybase SQL Anywhere 6 and 9 from a CALLed procedure, the output to the browser is being arbitrarily truncated. ?php $DataSourceUserID = user; $DataSourcePassword = pass; $DataSourceName = source; $ODBCConnect = odbc_connect($DataSourceName,$DataSourceUserID,$DataSourcePassword); $CallSQL = CALL mladselmeans( '', 0, , 0, , 0, , 'mladsite', 1 ); $CallTest = odbc_exec( $ODBCConnect, $CallSQL ); odbc_result_all($CallTest); ? The resulting output does contain proper data, but as I said, it simply gets chopped off at a seemingly random point (I have had it chop anywhere from 1500-25000 characters off). The amount of truncation seems to vary depending on the results of the CALL, and when the results are the same, the truncation is the same. Perhaps the strangest thing is that I know for a fact that all of the data is being returned by Sybase... If I use output buffering and send the contents of the buffer to a file before the end of the script, all of the data makes it into the file, but still not to the browser. Trying to free the odbc resource or close the connection results in no output at all. ANY thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] Sybase CALL statement problems
I have checked my logfiles, and everything seems to be running smoothly and error free. The truncation occurs wether I use the odbc_result_all function or something like: WHILE( odbc_fetch_row( $CallTest ) ): FOR( $ii = 1; $ii = odbc_num_fields( $CallTest ); ++$ii ): PRINT (odbc_field_name( $CallTest, $ii ) . = . odbc_result( $CallTest, odbc_field_name( $CallTest, $ii ) ) . br); ENDFOR; PRINT (brbr); ENDWHILE; So it is not a problem with odbc_result_all. I have compared the source of the resulting page with the output buffering generated file and it is definitely truncating, no -- or span display=none or anything similar... In one case, the browser page source was 12,196 characters in length compared to 37,127 characters in the output buffer file. As you said, there are some 'hackish' things that I have tried such as tacking on several thousand characters of whitespace to the end of the output, which still truncates, but ends up truncating in the middle of the whitespace... I refuse to resort to something like this. The parameters for mladselmeans? nothing too fancy, just passing it a bunch of minimum and maximum values for various lookups and calculations that the CALLed statement does...

It certainly sounds like something is being buffered. There are reports that this function doesn't return the total number of rows correctly, but nothing more on that as to whether that indicates a problem or not. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-result-all.php Also - you may want to view the source, or open that output buffering generated file in a web browser - and see if the same problem persists. It could just be bad data inside the database that's causing for e.g. !-- or span display=none or who knows what - to make it *appear* that the content is truncated. Obviously - you could try something hackish where you output buffer to a file, then emit the file to the browser - but if its all getting into the file I'd say the problem lies elsewhere, and that *shouldn't* work anyway, or if it does it's just a buffering problem in the first place. definitely check all logs. twice.

I was also thinking that I might be able to get some info from the resourse identifier that is returned to PHP, but I don't know how to read it from an insert, odbc_result doesn't work. Anyone have any clue how I can do this? I'm kinda new to this, so please help me out. I'm running IIS/Win2k, PHP 4.2.1 using ODBC through Connex DataFlex driver 8.7. Thanks in advance for your help. - Anthony -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Updating a CLOB-- OCI_INVALID_HANDLE
Hello, Has anyone come across difficulty updating a CLOB in Oracle? I have been able to follow the documentation to insert a new clob by first inserting an EMPTY_CLOB() into the row, and then calling the save method of the OCINewDescriptor/CLOB locator: $conn = OCILogon(username, password, connect_string); $clob_loc = OCINewDescriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB); $sql = INSERT INTO emp (empno, name, life_story) VALUES (emp_seq.NEXTVAL, :name, EMPTY(CLOB)) RETURNING life_story INTO :clob_loc; $stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql); OCIBindByName($stmt, :name, $name, -1); OCIBindByName($stmt, :life_story, $clob_loc, -1, OCI_B_CLOB); OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); $clob_loc-save($new_life_story); However, attempts to SELECT life_story INTO :clob_loc FROM emp WHERE empno = 123 FOR UPDATE have failed. Similarly, UPDATE emp SET name = 'NEW_NAME' WHERE empno = 123 RETURNING life_story INTO :clob_loc have also failed. The error message is the same: Warning: OCILobWrite: OCI_INVALID_HANDLE in /home/acarlos/update.php on line 16. However, if I update the row and set the CLOB column to anything new (including EMPTY_CLOB()), no error occurs. When it fails, I've checked the class of the OCINewDescriptor and it is indeed an object with 6 class methods (as it should be). Has anyone run into this? Is this a bug in PHP's implementation of OCI? Also, is there a limit to the amount of data that can be stored in the CLOB using this method? My uploads have been truncated to a little less than 32K. And I thought using a CLOB was supposed to give me access to 4GB... Thanks for any insight!

[PHP-DB] Re: Question about ODBC databases
As far as I know, you can not connect to an ODBC source remotly. If I could do this (make a NT server running ODBC look like a SQL server), it would make the app I'm working on much easier to develop. I have found a program called ODBCSocketServer, that will send and recieve ODBC requests via an XML stream. This works ok, but is limited and difucult to work with. At the current time it it incapable of sending over a secure port also.

Re: [PHP-DB] creating an Oracle variable...
Bona:
You're using OCIParse incorrectly. It's used to parse SQL commands. The var
statement that you quoted is a SQL*Plus command. That is, you're defining a
variable in SQL*Plus. That's why you're getting an Invalid SQL Command
error.
Use the OCIBindByName to bind a PHP variable (you're using test) to an
Oracle placeholder, which is denoted by a preceding colon.
e.g.,
$sql = INSERT INTO emp (ename) VALUES (:ename_placeholder);;
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, $sql);
OCIBindByName($stmt,:ename_placeholder,$empno,32);
$empno = Bona;
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);

RE: [PHP-DB] oracle (oci8) intro
That's interesting. I haven't had to do too many queries with lots of computed columns. I'll defer to you and double check my queries. On the other hand, I have not run into any problems with truncated column data. With regards to the server side cursors, why not send an anonymous PL/SQL block? I don't suppose that it has to be a stored procedure... Perhaps you're talking about the ability to output the result set from a PL/SQL block to PHP. That's a curious puzzle. I haven't given it much thought, mainly because I'm not too good at writing dynamic SQL in PL/SQL (which is even less arbitrary, I believe, than the code I wrote below), but what would happen if you built a PL/SQL table or array and bound that to a PHP variable?

I'm quite a seasoned developer, but have only experience with MySQL so far. It's my understanding that Oracle lacks the MySQL's LIMIT feature. Looking at the OCI section of the PHP manual, it also looks like there's no OCIDataSeek() or some equivalent. Since the app I need to build will be a standard report builder with paging, I need this functionality. What is the common way to achieve this? Always fetch all rows, cycling through the resultset, discarding the records that preceed the one I want to start displaying with, and quit when I reach the one where the page should end? Is there a PHP + OCI tutorial somewhere? I need an intro to Oracle, and I need it now. :( Thies has an Oracle/PHP tutorial online at http://conf.php.net/ which may be of some assitance. The LIMIT problem is a real bitch is Oracle. There are a few ways to get around it, the most obvious people use being ROWNUM. However, ROWNUM does not listen to sorting which makes life amusing. One option is to try a query like the following: SELECT * FROM (SELECT field1, field2 FROM table WHERE id10 ORDER BY field1 DESC) WHERE ROWNUM11 which gives you 10 rows, but still leaves the question of paging behind unless you use between values. I can't say I've tried paging record sets though.

RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle CLOBs and carriage returns
Tom:
I suspect that your problem is with the HTML, not the CLOB itself. Have you
tried echoing $lob_data in between PRE tags or using the nl2br function in
PHP? It converts nl's to BR tags.
Hope it helps,

Subject: [PHP-DB] Oracle CLOBs and carriage returns
Hi folks.
I have an interesting problem with regards to data I am retrieving from
a CLOB stored in my database.
The data consists of several paragraphs of information with multiple
carriage returns and other formatting mechanisms.
Now when I attempt to retrieve the data and display it on the web page,
it comes out as one giant line and all carriage returns and tabbing
seems to have been obliterated.
Here is the code I am using:
$sql_comments = OCIParse($connection,SELECT COMMENTS FROM INCIDENT
WHERE INCIDENT='$incident');
OCIExecute($sql_comments);
while ( OCIFetchInto($sql_comments, $row, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
$lob_data = $row[COMMENTS]-load();
echo $lob_data;
}
I know the information is stored correctly since a SQL query from the
command line works properly and all formatting is displayed.
Any thoughts?
Tom

Re: [PHP-DB] long or LOBs in oracle ???
Andy: Go with the CLOB. As you stated, you can have more than one CLOB defined in a table. Also, you can pull out data randomly instead of sequentially. Plus, the data can reside inline (for less than 4KB) or out of line for bigger values. The key to making it work is using the DBMS_LOB package. See the Oracle documentation on this to get an idea, then ask a more specific question. If you're a member of technet, you'll be able to read this: http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/appdev. 817/a76936/toc.htm If not, join up ASAP! (It's free).

Hi everybody, I have a little question. What is the best datatype to put large character data into (more than 5.000-20.000 letters). Maybe a CLOB or a long ? I am quiet new to oracle so I don't know so much about the LOBs and how Oracle handles it. On thing is, that I have to use more than one large field in one table, this means that I cannot use the long type, because only one is allowed, right. OK Then I think there is only a LOB Type (maybe the CLOB is the best for my stuff). I tried it, but I cannot put the data in the normal way into the field, like I am used to with MYSQL longtext type. How can I put LOB data into the DB via PHP or is there an other method to put large character data into the DB, can anybody help me thanx in advance, Andy -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB
Yes, it can be installed via command line. There is mention of it in the installation guide. I've never been able to make it work, however, and I don't believe that Oracle is supporting it as much as its GUI Universal Installer. On the other hand, I have used the Universal Installer over an ssh connection that forwards X-Windows packets. Therefore, I was able to use it remotely via an X-Windows terminal on my PC.

RE: [PHP-DB] error ORA-12699
Sang,
Your tnsnames file appears to be misconfigured. It should look like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)))
The first line, ORCL =, lets you know what to use as your connect string.
In this case, you're calling your connect string ORCL. When you try to
login, you should use username/password@ORCL.
In PHP, you set the third argument to OCILogon to ORCL.
Here's what happens. When Oracle sees a connect string during a login
attempt, it checks the tnsnames.ora file to resolve it into a protocol,
address, and sid. In other words, ORCL is shorthand notation for all of the
TCP/IP info and then some.
I hope this makes sense,
Anthony

Sang,
Since you're trying to connect from another computer to the Oracle server,
you probably need to specify a connect string in the OCILogon command.
OCILogon('system', 'manager', $connect_string);
What's the value for $connect_string? It depends on how you've set-up your
Oracle networking. If you can access your DB from that client machine with
SQL*Plus, then you must be loging in via the following format:
sqlplus system/manager@connect_string
Use the value of connect_string for $connect_string. It should be
defined
in your tnsnames.ora file on your client, and have a corresponding entry
in
your listern.ora file on your server.
I suspect that your client machine is trying to access an Oracle database
on
itself, because no connect string was specified.
Lemme know if this helps,
Anthony
