[PHP-DB] An interesting Apache Log to MySql ?
Hi All I have been trying to find a way to write Apache Log data to a MySql db via a pipe log directive. So far I have this: LogFormat %v:*:%B:*:%u:*:%f:*:%h:*:%a:*:%s:*:%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z}t:*:%{Content-type:}o:*:%U:*:%{Referer}i:*:%{User-Agent}i:*:% {cookie}n mysqllog As my Logformat directive. It is delimited by :*:. Now the log part I am having problems with. CustomLog |/usr/local/bin/php phplog.php mysqllog I was thinking that I should write in the phplog.php all the connection stuff and load Logformat data in to it but I dont know where or how to get the data. I dont want to write the log file then read it in as that defeats the object I am looking to do. I dont want to use mod_sql thing as I am not allowed to compile new modules. So I think I am asking what do I put into this: $loaddata = mysql_query(insert into table ...) To load the data from LogFormat. If you can advise or help with this I will be most thank full.

[PHP-DB] Form Error Checking ?
Hi All I am very fed up and confused to why some simple form error checking is not working. All I want to do is check if a field has something in it the its ok else show error. I have a fields in my form that is for people to upload an image. I have tried this. If(!$_POST[img]){ Do something } Or this If(!$_FILE[img]){ Do something } Or this If(empty($_POST[img])){ Do something } Or this If(empty($_FILE[img])){ Do something } Or this If(!isset($_POST[img])){ Do something } Or this If(!isset($_FILE[img])){ Do something } And many other permiatations of these functions but to no avail. All I get is my error msg whether or not the field has anyhting in it or nothing but never the desired affect. Its got to be something to do with global vars on switch as if I swith it off and go back to just calling the var it works a treat. This needless to say is giving me a headache as it is vital that I check the form before posting. So any help or guidence will be very much appreciated.

Hi Frank, Thank you for the help and example you included in your reply. With the help gained by all that answered I concocted this work around which works perfectly. I have included the code to help anyone else who needs this kind of result. It has two table references the first gets admin data and the seconds uses the admin data to reference the 2nd table for all instances. -- My Code Snippet - $whichadminsql = select id, user from $tbn; $whichadminres = mysql_query($whichadminsql); while($adname = mysql_fetch_array($whichadminres)){ $adid = $adname[id]; $adnm = $adname[user]; $query = select count(admin_id) as Admin1 from $tbn3 where admin_id=$adid ; $result = mysql_query($query); $object = mysql_fetch_object($result); $Admin[$i] = $object - Admin1; $adminstatsshow .= $adnm has $Admin[$i] posts.br; } // Variables used are specific to my tables and needs and will need changing to your suit your needs. -- End My Code Snippet - Once again Thank you Frank Flynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi Dave, The easiest, most direct, ANSI - SQL way to do what you ask is: SELECT count(*) as num_posts, Admin_id FROM your_table_Name WHERE optional but you could narrow the results here GROUP BY Admin_id ORDER BY Admin_id This will give you: num_posts Admin_id - 3 1 4 2 5 3 And naturally you can do whatever you like with these values in your PHP code. The only potential got ya is if you had an Admin_id 4 who had no records you would not get 0, 4 you would not get a row for 4 at all. There is a way around. Ask me if you need it. Also GROUP BY has it's own kind of WHERE clause called HAVING. The WHERTE clause operates on the raw data (like any other query) but HAVING works on the aggregate functions (like count, min, max, ave) so in this example we could add this line right after the GROUP BY: HAVING count(*) 4 This would make the query only return the 5, 3 row.

But how do you check the reply to the address stored and then activate the account. It's a for online support manager im writing hence the importance of a verified email address. 2) Suggest a Username? I have seen some places that when you put in an onscreen name and click send it checks against the list of usernames already stored and if it matches it comes back an error saying that username already exists but how about this one, which is the name you chose plus a incremental number. So visitor puts in say Fred but Fred exists and so does Fred up to Fred19. How do I check this and offer Fred20 as a suggestion. I hope someone can help with this. As always I thank you in advance of any help, code samples or pointers. Dave Carrera Php Developer http://davecarrera.freelancers.net http://www.davecarrera.com

[PHP-DB] I cant get the logic for this...
Hi all, I want to display return results from my query (which works fine) In I tidy way on screen. So my result returns say seven results, I have a table, and I want to show 3 results per row of the table... I.e.: Table TR TD = result1 /TD TD result2 /TD TD = result3 /TD /TD /TR TR TD = result4 /TD TD result5 /TD TD = result6 /TD /TD /TR TR TD = result7 /TD TD resultempty /TD TD = resultempty /TD /TD /TR /table The last two td in row 3 are empty because result found 7 results. This cant be fixed so echo statements wont work as the result could Be 3 or 10 or 56 or whatever. As Always your help and or guidance in this matter is appreciated.

[PHP-DB] RE: I cant get the logic for this...
Firstly thanks to everyone who have supplied various way to implement the issue I was having. Unfortunately I cant seem to get any one of them to function correctly I have included my code to see if someone can help adjusting it. I think I am going wrong in where I am putting the count var. You may notice I am using the var $v1list. this is so I can display the output in suitable place on screen. The code I have included makes my 7 selected items go straight across the page(obviously) hence the need to Block it of with some kind of count function. Thank you for any help or advice Dave C CODE HERE-- if(ISSET($category)){ $viewsql = select * from $tbn2 where catid = \$category\ ; $viewres = @mysql_query($viewsql, $con) or die (Cant get details. Please report this to the website administrator); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($viewres); while( $v1rows = mysql_fetch_array($viewres) ){ $name2 = $v1rows[name]; $id2 = $v1rows[catid]; $simg = $v1rows[smallimg]; $v1list .=td$name2/bra href =\./viewdetails.php?pcategory=$id2pname=$name2\img src=$simg border=0/a/td; } } Dave Carrera Php / MySql Development Web Design Site Marketing http://www.davecarrera.com -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
