[PHP-DB] Fatal Error - Undefined function mysqli_connect
Hi,
My server was upgraded to PHP 5.3.8 and MySQL 5.1.58 today and, since, I am
getting a 500 error on any script requiring a DB connection.
I've tried using the Procedural style example provided at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php (as shown below), but get
the following line in my error logs:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in
DOC_ROOT/test2.php on line 2
- Sample code
?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');
if (!$link) {
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo 'Success... ' . mysqli_get_host_info($link) . \n;
mysqli_close($link);
?
If I run phpinfo(), I see the following:
Configure Command: ..'-without-mysql'..
Additional .ini files parsed: .. /etc/php.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php.d/mysqli.ini.. /etc/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini
Is there something wrong with the installation of PHP/MySQL?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Ben Miller

[PHP-DB] Are join queries in phpMyAdmin a security hazard?
Hello, My web host does not have join queries in phpMyAdmin enabled. My web host is inexpensive, but their commitment to costumer service is inconsistent. They often dismiss bug reports as feature requests. When pressed to enable join queries in phpMyAdmin several years ago, my web host stated that join queries in phpMyAdmin were a security hazard. Do you know if such a security hazard exists? Regards, Ben -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] newbie: how to return one iteration *per unique date (DAY!)* in a timestamp column?
except that I just added the ORDER BY clause onto each SELECT segment, and now I get this error: query failed: Incorrect usage of UNION and ORDER BY How can I order the results while still doing the UNION ALLs? You should only need one ORDER BY clause at the end of the whole query: (SELECT...) UNION ALL (SELECT...) UNION ALL (SELECT...) ORDER BY... I'm not sure if this syntax is portable to other SQL-based DBMSes, though. I'm certain that one system we use at work doesn't support it, but it's kind of a dinosaur so I don't like to draw too many conclusions from what it doesn't support.

Re: [PHP-DB] newbie: how to return one iteration *per unique date(DAY!)* in a timestamp column?
Just one other tiny point of style here: having given the expression date(solarAWDateTime) the alias uniqueDate, you should probably use that alias to refer to the same thing elsewhere in your query, such as in the GROUP BY column. So: [8] That's a mysqlism :( It's not portable to other db's (apparently it's not part of the sql-spec). I think I've even seen MySQL reject it in some cases.

Re: [PHP-DB] newbie: how to return one iteration *per unique date (DAY!)* in a timestamp column?
Can someone point me to understand why? I thought that: SELECT COUNT(*) AS landing_count, date(solarLandingDateTime) AS solarLandingDate, 't7solar_landingALIAS' AS t7solar_landing FROM t7solar_landing GROUP BY DATE(solarLandingDateTime) would, among other thing, assign the number of records counted in that first table to the alias 'landing_count'. No? Yes, but when you UNION that query with others it gets a bit more complicated. The UNION keyword adds more rows to the result-set, not more columns. So, when you join queries with a UNION, corresponding columns in each of those queries should all have the same aliases. So you probably don't want to say: SELECT nameABC AS `name1` FROM table1 UNION ALL SELECT nameDEF AS `name2` FROM table2 Here you're asking the DBMS to give you a result-set with just one column, in which the column is called `name1` some of the time, and `name2` the rest of the time. Doesn't make much sense, and MySQL will silently ignore one or the other of these aliases. Instead, say: SELECT nameABC AS `name` FROM table1 UNION ALL SELECT nameDEF AS `name` FROM table2 This will produce a result-set with just one column, called `name`. The number of rows in the result-set will equal the number of rows produced by the first SELECT, plus the number of rows produced by the second SELECT. Does that help make sense of why you need to add a second column to each query, with the name of the table? Like so: SELECT nameABC AS `name`, 'table1' AS `table_name` FROM table1 UNION ALL SELECT nameDEF AS `name`, 'table2' AS `table_name` FROM table2 This query will produce a result-set with two columns. The first column will be called `name` and the second will be called `table_name`; for example, supposing that table1 contains only boys' names and table2 contains only girls' names, you might get a result-set that includes these rows: name| table_name Robert | table1 James | table1 Lucy| table2 Teresa | table2 Then for each row, you would need to examine the value of the `table_name` column in PHP, to figure out which table the name is from. It looks like your current code is operating as though each row contains results from all three of your tables, which it doesn't. Each row only contains a result from one table. BTW, mysql_fetch_assoc() returns an array, not an object, so you'd need to use this syntax: $row['column'] As opposed to: $row-column If you prefer the latter syntax, you can use mysql_fetch_object().

...which will echo: trtd#records in 't7solar_landing' matching the given (iterating) date (in the 'solarLandingDateTime' column)/tdtd#records in 'aw_7solar_confirm' matching the given (iterating) date (in the 'solarAwConfDateTime' column)/tdtd#records in 'aw_7solar_aw' matching the given (iterating) date (in the 'solarAWDateTime' column)/td/tr... If you just need to count the records with a particular date you should be able to use this construction: SELECT COUNT(*) AS `record_count`, DATE(date_column) AS `date_field` FROM table GROUP BY `date_field` You could probably write a generalized PHP function (called 'build_query()' or something) that would construct this query given a table name and a date-column name, and call it once for each table/column pair. Then you could stitch the three query strings together, in PHP, into one large query using SQL's UNION ALL, which concatenates the results of multiple queries into one large result-set: (query 1) UNION ALL (query 2) UNION ALL (query 3) And then pass that one large query to the database. So I need to read/learn more MySQL. Can you guys point me to where in the mysql docs I should be burying myself? In my experience the MySQL manual isn't a great resource for learning SQL, at the level you're looking for. It's a fine reference if you already have a solid understanding of the basics. But to get that understanding, you might try the O'Reilly book called Learning SQL: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596520830/?CMP=AFC-ak_bookATT=Learning+SQL%2c+Second+Edition%2c Someone else here might know of some good online resources. I've not seen any, but then I haven't spent a whole lot of time looking. The parts of Learning SQL that I've seen are excellent.

[PHP-DB] Single Quotes in Form Inputs
Hi,
I have a form in which my sales reps can add new clients into the database,
but I'm running into a problem if the client's name includes a single quote,
such as O'Henry, when it comes time to input the form data into the database
table. I'm guessing I need to use ereg_replace, or something similar, to
change the single quote, but I still can't seem to get the syntax right.
Any help would be appreciated. For what it's worth, here is a shortened
version of what I have:
$ firstName = $_POST[form_firstName];
$ lastname = $_POST[form_lastName];
$query = mysql_query(INSERT INTO customers (`cust_first`,`cust_last`)
VALUES ('$firstName','$lastName'));

[PHP-DB] Date Translation in MySQL
I'm looking for a quick and simple way to query a MySQL database by date, or more specifically, by day of the week. My dates are stored in the DB in -MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. Question, is there a built-in for PHP or MySQL that will take this column and return only Saturdays, for example, without having to use PHP to find each of the last X number of Saturdays and then for each Saturday, query the database? In case it matters, I am running on PHP v 4.4.7 and MySQL version 4.1.22. Thanks in advance. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Beginners Problem
Hello,
I am having another problem with PHP, and I have tried rectifying the
problem with each try failing. The problem I have is, whenever I refresh the
page or visit the URL to where the login form is (which is index.php), it
automatically refreshes to the members page, even if I did not click the
'Submit' button (with or without the correct login details, for that matter,
even if I did click the 'Submit' button). I hope someone will be able to
help me in some way or another to rectify the issue; I have tried seeing all
possibilities of the problem. Once more, I am relatively knew to PHP, so I
appreciate help towards the right direction.
Cheers,
Ben Stones.
(PS: The PHP code is below)
$con = mysql_connect(localhost, ben_test, removed) or
die(mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db(ben_test) or die(mysql_error());
$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];
$select_sql = sprintf(SELECT `username` FROM `users` WHERE `username` =
'$user' AND `password` = '$pass', mysql_real_escape_string($user),
mysql_real_escape_string($pass));
$select_sql_two = mysql_query($select_sql);
if($select_sql_two) {
echo 'Redirecting you to members page...';
echo '[meta http-equiv=refresh content=5;url=members.php /]';
}
else {
echo 'Error';
}
I've changed the HTML code, by the way, so it doesn't render the HTML code
in some mail boxes.
[PHP-DB] Another new PHP programmer question...
Hello,
Thank you for your help previously everyone, I was able to fix that problem.
The thing now, is that I want to add smileys to the messages; i.e. :) would
equal to a smiley image when posting a message.
$con = mysql_connect(localhost,removed,removed) or die(con);
$db = mysql_select_db(ben_test) or die(db);
$post = $_POST['comment'];
if(empty($post)){
echo font color='red'bPost rejected, field left emptybr
//b/font;
}
else if(is_numeric($post)){
echo font color='red'bPost rejected, numeric data submittedbr
//b/font;
}
else if(preg_match(/www/, $post)) {
echo font color='red'bPost rejected. Advertising is prohibited!br
//b/font;
}
else {
mysql_query(INSERT INTO `comments`(`messages`) VALUES ('$post')) or
die(mysql_error());
}
$mysql_query_one = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM `comments`);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_query_one)) {
echo $rows['messages'] . hr;
I have grasped quite a lot so far, and added many complementry features,
however this is only my first script - so hence it is pretty much basic as
it is!
Thanks once again, hoping someone can assist me further.
[PHP-DB] PHP Beginners Help
Hello, my name is Ben Stones. I am quite a beginner to PHP, and as a new
years resolution I am going to learn PHP (finally!)
Cut to the chase I have created a basic looping script that would display

$con = mysql_connect(localhost,ben_test,--removed-) or
die(con);
$db = mysql_select_db(ben_test) or die(db);
mysql_query(CREATE TABLE `comments` (messages varchar(255)));
$comments = $_POST['comment'];
$sql1 = mysql_query(INSERT INTO `comments` (`messages`) VALUES
($comments));
$mysql_query_one = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM `comments`);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_query_one)) {
echo $rows['messages'] . [br /];
}
Everything went swell for the first half, and after I truncated the test
messages (or everything in the column, if you like), I tried doing one more
test run and upon clicking 'Submit', nothing would display except the
messages I added via phpMyAdmin.
Hope someone could help me.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP Beginners Help
Thanks all for your replies. Much appreciated. I have edited the code and
took points into account:
$con = mysql_connect(localhost,ben_test,removed) or die(con);
$db = mysql_select_db(ben_test) or die(db);
$sql1 = mysql_query(INSERT INTO `comments` (`messages`) VALUES
($comments)) or die(insert);
$mysql_query_one = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM `comments`);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_query_one)) {
echo $rows['messages'] . [br /];
Okay, the browser outputted insert so it has to be something to do with
the insert sql syntax I have added. Not sure if its over-riding the same
content added as before or something.
Any help once again is appreciated.
Thank you,
Ben Stones.

[PHP-DB] Broken pipe after long db process
Hi all, I wrote a php script which is running very long queries (hours) on a postgresql database. I seem to have a problem to run the code when there are single queries which take long times (like 5 hours for an update query), from the log of the database I received the following code: 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 0: duration: 18730038.678 ms statement: UPDATE product_temp SET nleft=(SELECT 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: exec_simple_query, postgres.c:1035 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 08006: could not send data to client: Broken pipe 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: internal_flush, pqcomm.c:1050 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 08P01: unexpected EOF on client connection 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: SocketBackend, postgres.c:287 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 0: disconnection: session time: 6:04:58.52 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: log_disconnections, postgres.c:3403 Now after the 5 hours update it need to echo into a log file a line which say that it ended the current command (just for me to know the times), my assumption is that PHP read the code into memory at start and opened the connection to the file, after a time which he waited to any given life sign he gave up and closed the connection to the file, and when the code came back to the file it encountered no connection to the file (broken pipe). Or a newer assumption... though I did set max_execution_time to 0 (endlessly) it does close itself up after waiting to much time for the database response, and when the database do respond the php client is closed already and I receive the broken pipe error. Am I correct at my assumption? if so how can I set the PHP to wait how much I tell him? Ofcourse if im wrong I would like to know the reason also :) Thanks in advance, Ben-Nes Yonatan

Also, from http://us4.php.net/header:
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is

It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(),

[PHP-DB] PHP Oracle Authentication using UNIX user account
Hi, My DBA's preferred authentication method is to set up a UNIX user account (i.e. userA) and let them login without using plaintext password authentication, ie. The user has to be logged in, they can then run (for example) sqlplus / and that will log them into the correct database. This is to prevent having to specify a username / password in a PHP script (or a config file that gets loaded). If the username / password is visible in the script, then someone can login and start making manual edits to the data using sql commands. To implement this, I have ensured my apache instance is running as 'userA' and I have tried all sorts of combinations of things username = password = , username = / password = , username=/ password =/ etc.. to get this working (It works fine from the command line) but the OCILogon function requires a username and a password, so is not happy. One solution to this is that the DBA opens up the DB to plaintext authentication, I store the username / password in a config file with read only permissions (only for the owner, userA), and then only someone who knows userA's password can login and view this config file. But that does not fit in with the way my DBA wants me to authenticate. Has anyone got a solution for this? Regards
RE: [PHP-DB] PHP Oracle Authentication using UNIX user account
Hi Roy, - Yes the web server is on a different machine - I think remote OS auth is allowed as when I login to the DB from another host using / it works fine. (obviously logged in as userA still) My DBA suggested I might have to use SSH in some way but I have not found any docs in setting up the authentication in this way... I would not want to prompt the user for a username/password each time the DB needs updating either.. It seems making the config file read only (by userA, the apache runtime user) or encrypting the DB password within the config file is the best option so far. But as the problem has already been solved by Oracle and UNIX I was hoping the solution would be at the O/S level (or at most exporting a few ORA vars so the apache runtime picks it up), rather than at the application software level. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 October 2004 15:48 To: Ben Gill Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP Oracle Authentication using UNIX user account A couple notes / assumptions .. (1) The web server is on a different machine then database (2) The DB is not allowing remote OS authentication and only local OS authentication If these are not true then some of my comments will be invalid (1) The above config will not work as the web-to-db conn is not authenticated locally (2) If remote OS auth is allow that is more of a security risk .. (can be mitigated) (3) If the php files are secured on the server that mitigates risk (4) Network traffic can be encrypted to prevent passwords being sent in plain text But if network is compromised all non-secure traffic is compromised (ftp/telnet/etc) My solution (1) No remote OS Auth (2) Trust network (3) I am only person that has access to web server (Web/DB/OS admin) (4) Use a 'generic' account for general web access that only has the following privs - CREATE SESSION - SELECT on tables needed (via ROLE or direct as required) (5) If a user needs to modify data allow a method for them to be prompted for username/password for database connection == If the web server db server are the same box then local OS auth would be fine.

[PHP-DB] letting a table name be a constant
Hello,
Regarding this code:
[PHP code]
// This works
$name=name;
$table=mytable;
$mysql_connect(localhost,,) or die(Error: .mysql_error());
$mysql_select_db(mydb) or die(Error: .mysql_error());
$mysql_query(INSERT INTO $table (`id`,`name`) VALUES ('','$name'));
[/PHP code]
I want to define() TABLE as a constant instead of using the variable
$table
[PHP code]
// This runs without an error but does *not* insert a new row
$name=name;
define(TABLE, mytable);
$mysql_connect(localhost,,) or die(Error: .mysql_error());
$mysql_select_db(mydb) or die(Error: .mysql_error());
$mysql_query(INSERT INTO TABLE (`id`,`name`) VALUES ('','$name'));
[/PHP code]
Changing the query line to
$mysql_query(INSERT INTO `TABLE` (`id`,`name`) VALUES ('','$name'));
or
$mysql_query(INSERT INTO 'TABLE' (`id`,`name`) VALUES ('','$name'));
has no effect.
I also tried to
define(TABLE, `mytable`);
which, too, didn't work.
Would appreciate any advice,
Ben

Thanks, John and Justin. Wasn't thinking about that.
The other error you have, and I don't know how you think this code
runs, are the dollar signs before mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db()
and mysql_query() are not needed.
You're right. It doesn't run. I retyped instead of copy-and-paste'd;
that's a typo.

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

You cannot write anything out before the session_start() call.
The error tells you that you have written something at:

Check for any echo, print or html output before session_start()

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL or Postgres
Where MySQL loses points in the daemon robustness department, it makes up for it by apparently never corrupting its data files. The last thing you want is your precious data files fouled randomly, and MySQL does well here. In over a year of running MySQL, I haven't ever seen a single case of database or index corruption. In the same timeframe, I have done 2 or 3 recoveries of a couple different Postgres databases. (irregardless, backups are always your best friend, as shown by the database fiasco here on PHPBuilder) This clinched it. Although I was keen to use postages due to its better functionality, the issue with it corrupting data files means I will be going for MySQL.

[PHP-DB] RE: Stumped again...
Your code:
while($name = mysql_fetch_row($groups_tmp)) {
$grp_list .= option$name[0]/option\n;
}
should be changed to:
while($name = mysql_fetch_row($groups_tmp)) {
$grp_list .= option value=.$name[0].$name[0]/option\n;
}
The value property of the option tag is actually what gets submitted to the next page.
The text that immediately follows option value=x is what is displayed to the user.
So, for this (HTML) code:
SELECT NAME=Test
OPTION VALUE=1Thing One
OPTION VALUE=2Thing Two
/SELECT
The user would see a list with:
Thing One
Thing Two
The next page would get either 1 or 2 as the value for Test.

OK... I have once again thought of something cool to do, and can't
quite figure out how to make it happen. I am developing a user account
request system for work. Things are coming along nicely. The user logs
into the system, kind of, selects the systems that he wants to have
accounts
added on, and then the next page is where the problems begin. Once the
user
selects the systems, the next page lists the systems selected along with a
dropdown for Default Shell and another dropdown for Primary Group and
a
small text box for Other Group. The dropdowns are populating fine, and
everything is displaying on the screen as expected. The problem I am
having
is that the selections don't seem to work. I have this page feed a final
page that also displays the selections as a result test. I am seeing the
system names, but no shell or group information.
Here are some pertinent portions of the code with comments:
Above code snipped
$shell_list = getEnumOptions('accounts','shell');
$shell_tmp = select size=\1\ name=\shell\\n;
$shell_tmp .= optionDefault Shell/option\n;
foreach ($shell_list as $item) {
$shell_tmp .= option$item/option\n;
}
$shell_tmp .= /select\n;
mysql_select_db($database, $Prod);
$query_groups = SELECT name FROM grps;
$groups_tmp = mysql_query($query_groups, $Prod) or die(mysql_error());
$grp_list = select size=\1\ name=\grp\\n;
$grp_list .= optionPrimary Group/option\n;
$grp_list .= option---/option\n;
while($name = mysql_fetch_row($groups_tmp)) {
$grp_list .= option$name[0]/option\n;
}
$grp_list .= /select\n;
Code snipped
This section of code creates the Default Shell dropdown list and
the Primary Group dropdown list. One of these lists is derived from the
ENUM values of the field, the other is derived from the values of a
seperate
table.
Code snipped
form name=form1 method=post action=account_final.php
?php
while (isset($_POST['system'][$a])) {
echo td width=\20%\div
align=\center\.$_POST['system'][$a]./div/td;
echo td width=\20%\div
align=\center\.$shell_tmp./div/td;
echo td width=\20%\div
align=\center\.$grp_list./div/td;
echo td width=\20%\div align=\center\input type=\text\
name=\other\ value=\\ size=\15\/div/td/tr;
$tmp = $sbcuid.-.$_POST['system'][$a];
$a++;
array_push( $accnts, $tmp );
array_push( $shells, $shell );
array_push( $grps, $grp );
array_push( $others, $other );
}
?
Code snipped
This section of code actually displays one line for each system
previously selected with additional input items for Default Shell,
Primary Group, and Other Group. This code also creates arrays of the
systems, shells, groups, and others which are passed onto the next page.
This system array is used to display the results as well as populate the
database, and the system array data is the only data actually being
displayed. I do not think that the data for the other arrays is actually
getting populated.
Code snipped
?php
session_register(accnts, shells, grps, others);
?
div align=center
input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit
/div
/form
Code snipped
This section of code simply registers the arrays for use on the next
page.
Thanks in advance for any help. Please let me know if you need any
other information to help figure out what is wrong with this.

To: 'Fred Wright'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Undefined index and variables
Fred,
I don't have much time today, but here is my initial
assessment of what might be going wrong with your page:
You display add.php which draws a form for data.
You submit that form to add.php (itself).
The form redraws inside the page.
You get errors when add.php looks for data in the
$HTTP_POST_VARS array because the page is fresh and that
array is empty.
Problem is that there is no code to handle the data that was
entered in the first place. Once you hit submit, the add.php
page is (re)drawn in its original state - with no values in
the fields. Therefore, when the $_POST['varname'] statement
looks in $HTTP_POST_VARS, there's nothing to display so you
get the Undefined Index errors. It's almost like refreshing the page.
My advice would be to separate the code for the data entry
and data handling parts of your project into independent
scripts. Use add.php to collect the data then send the data
to a php script called handleAdd.php that gets the name/value
pairs and submits them to the database. After submitting the
data to the database in handleAdd.php, forward the user back
to another page (add.php again, if you want) where they can
get some kind of confirmation the data was entered.
A further recommendation would be to provide the list with
the code you gave to me so maybe somebody else with a little
more free time might be able to assist you further. Sorry I
couldn't provide any more help.
Rich

So loop through and check the last char. Am I missing something that
makes this harder than the obvious:
foreach($arr as $key=$val) {
$end = $val[strlen($val)-1];
switch($end) {
case '1': $arr[$key] = substr($val,0,-1); break;
case '2':
case '3': $arr[$key] = substr($val,0,-1) . ((int)$end + 4); break;

Not sure if you always want to add 4 to the last char when it ends in 2 or
3, but that was the only info you gave.

[PHP-DB] login won't work for Internet Explorer
Hi there, I am experiencing a peculiar problem. I have recently moved a PHP / MySQL driven website I have been developing from my linux box on to a live host. Everything seemed to go smoothly apart from one peculiar problem. When I access the site using Internet Explorer (so far I have tried 5.0 and 5.5), I am unable to log into the members' section of the site. Instead I receive the following error: Warning: Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 2 in [pathdir]/member_login_check.php on line 12 Warning: Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 2 in [pathdir]/member_login_check.php on line 13 Warning: Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 2 in [pathdir]/member_login_check.php on line 14 The peculiarity is that when I log in using Mozilla, I have no problem. Why should the choice of browser have any effect on a set of processes which are all server-side? Or am I completely wrong about that? All suggestions and help appreciated.

[PHP-DB] Re: fulltext not for me/alternatives
Is there a way to get mysql to change the default from 3 to 2 letter words (or less) that are ignored in fulltext indexes? I'm running version 4 alpha. I checked the TODO and it's not listed. Is it possible to make this a config.h option? As I said I am on a shared host and don't have the option to recompile MySQL. The answer is yes, it is in an .h file (or something like that). A minimum of 4 letters for a word to be included in a fulltext index seems a bit restrictive. My point exactly ;) But this is what it is (4 letters). Penelizes us non hardcore commercial users who can't afford our own box.

[PHP-DB] DB Compaction Algorithm
Hello all... I'm going to propose an algorithm to compact a MySQL database containing information that I'll talk about shortly. I'm curious what you all think about it. Nevermind the various reasons why I should/should not do this, as I have weighed them in my head and decided that it's something I want to do. So, anyway, on with the show. --- My database is used by a radio station to keep track of their music assets and playlists. It contains the following tables: -albums -- Contains album data and references to other tables -artists -- Contains name and ID -genres -- Contains name and ID -labels -- Contains name and ID -media -- Contains name and ID -names -- Contains only one row... info about the radio station. -playlist -- contains a timestamp and references to users and tracks -tracks -- contains track info and references to albums and artists -users -- contains user information The names table is there so that I can easily pull the data from somewhere, but just as easily alter it from the interface... I didn't want to deal with using a file, though it wouldn't be hard... I may change that later. Anyway, because of repeated add's, delete's, etc on the name/ID tables, they are becoming fragmented. I have set the datatypes on the ID fields large enough to handle anything that they throw at it for now, but over the course of 5 years, they may begin to reach their capacity, and I will no longer be around to support it (it's a college radio station). Therefore, I have decided that I need an algorithm to compact the auto_increment fields. Here's what I'm thinking. On a table-by-table basis, create a temporary table that contains the old ID and the new ID. Then, once that table is populated, convert references in other tables from the old to new. Like this (in PHP pseudocode) result = SELECT * FROM labels; delete from labels; create temporary table labeltemp( oldid, newid ); loop through result insert into labeltemp (oldid) value (result[id]) update sometable set id=newid where id=oldid; So, that was brief and messy... but I think it will work. I'm hesitant to try it, because I can't create a new database, and I don't want to try it on live data. So, can anyone see a problem with this, aside from the old why do you want to do that? crap?

[PHP-DB] cleaning up auto_increment fields
Hello all! Is it worth my time (both real and processor) to make my application find gaps in the auto_increment sequence (in MySQL) and fill them when I add new data? I'm concerned about overloading the capacities of my datatypes (although they are very liberal). I think it wouldn't be that difficult... but would probably slow the application down... I fear that, because of the relationships I have, if I ever decide to compact the database later, it will be an extremely trying task.

RE: [PHP-DB] Control Structure Error
It works for me... except that you need a semi-colon after 'return
$returned_string' and it sticks the word OR at the end of the whole
string, which you may not want.
Does that help, or did I miss the point?

Subject: [PHP-DB] Control Structure Error
Here is the code that I am trying to use:
//code start
function search_terms($title) {
$array = explode ( , $title);
for($i=0,$n=count($array); $i$n; $i++) {
$returned_string = $returned_string . $array[$i] . OR ;
}
return $returned_string
}
//code end
I want it to turn the string of words stored in $title into an array
($array), then use the for structure to insert the string OR in
between
each word, and then finally return the string ($returned_string) for DB
purposes.

RE: [PHP-DB] Resolution detect and redirect
Would be a feat indeed if you could get PHP to do this! It does need Javascript to do (although having returned the result, you could then carry this forward by setting a variable server side (in php!) that identified the user and continued to display appropriate page versions). If you were feeling really clever, you could even go the whole hog and store these as variables using the session functions of PHP4 (would then mean that the variable as well as any others you choose to set for the user don't have to be laboriously carried over each time). Just a thought. Seriously though, definitely worth trying http://www.irt.org I would be very supprised if there wasn't an FAQ specifically about this (its actually very easy to do in Javascript).

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP security
Absolutely correct!
Having said all of this, it is still a bad idea (certainly on UNIX systems,
I can't speak for Micro$oft) to keep passwords embedded in scripts in this
way, particularly if you are running PHP as a CGI process, it is a better
idea to have the appropriate passwords stored as variables inside a separate
script that is then called via and 'include' statement (which should then be
read-only to 'root' if memory server me right -its been a long time since I
ran PHP this way!).

As far as I know, you can not download PHP programs without access to
download them. Meaning you need an account on the webserver, so they would
need your account user and pass before they could steal your mysql user and
pass. I don't know how frontpage works, but it would probably have to call
on the server to parse the php script before downloading it. There is no way
to download a PHP script as a "nobody" user without it being parsed by PHP
first.

I am writing aome PHP scripts to connect to a MySQL database. In order
to connect, I have found the following documented code:
$dbLink = mysql_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password")
Here, the password is plain text. This does not seem very secure to
me. What is to prevent someone using a program like Frontpage to
download my web and discover my password?
