Re: [PHP-DB] Informix Question how to put data from query into variables
wflow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, What I want to do is create another query from some of the data from another one. The question is how do I take the data I get back from my first query and put that into variables so I can build my second query. The example I have in mind is: I a do a select tracknum,orderdate,ordertotal,status,shipdate from orders where tracknum = '$trknum' and I want the data returned into vars: like orderdate = $orderdate so I can create a new query like: select * from shipping where orderdate = '$orderdate'. @ifx_htmltbl_result($sql_result,border=1); You might want to consider reading the php manual, especially the part on functions and even more the one on informix functions. There you'll find a function called ifx_fetch_row.

[PHP-DB] Informix blobs problem -609 / core dump
Hi. When trying to insert anything into a BLOB column in informix I get a -609 error back (invalid use of TEXT/BYTE host variable), no matter what parameters used when ifx_create_blob'ing. Inserting into TEXT columns does work OK. When trying to read anything from a TEXT or BLOB column, php dies. child pid 4286 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Setup SuSE 7.0 Linux 2.2.19-i686 (PIII) Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.21.UC3 apache 1.3.17 php-4.0.4pl1 or Sun Solaris 7 U60 Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.20.UC2 php-4.0.4pl1 apache 1.3.11 Attached you'll find a) the db definition b) a small script for inserting data and c) a small script to read the data. As the informix code didn't change in 4.0.5 (no diff on source in extensions/informix) I haven't tried upgrading. Help appreciated. TIA, Chris. -- create database test_shen in public; database test_shen; create table test ( id serial, b1 blob, t1 text, primary key (id) ); select * from test; grant connect to 'infdb1'; grant all on test to 'infdb1'; -- 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]
