Hello Everyone,
Hope your 2013 is treating you well.
Quick question and apologies if it is a stupid question.
Is this a viable syntax?
$sql = SELECT orderid
FROM ORDERS_TABLE
WHERE orderstatus = 'Cancelled' OR (orderstatus = ('New' OR
'Denied' OR 'Expired' OR 'Failed' OR 'Pending' OR 'Refunded' OR
'Reversed' OR 'Under Review' OR 'Voided') AND orderdate
'.mysqli_real_escape_string($yesterday).');
Namely the orderstatus = (a whole bunch of options).
In my database `orderstatus` field is an enum() list btw.
Or is there a better way to check multiple options against an enum
inside your select statement?
Reason I am doing this is to avoid having to do...
$sql = SELECT orderid
FROM ORDERS_TABLE
WHERE orderstatus = 'Cancelled' OR (orderstatus = 'New' AND
orderdate '.mysqli_real_escape_string($yesterday).') OR
(orderstatus = 'Denied' AND orderdate
'.mysqli_real_escape_string($yesterday).') OR (orderstatus =
'Expired' AND orderdate
'.mysqli_real_escape_string($yesterday).') ... etc;
TIA,

The best way to check if your SQL query is valid is to feed it to mysql
which will return an error if the syntax is incorrect :-) So TIAS! Although
it looks wrong to me.
But you might try the IN operator - something like
OR (orderstatus IN ('New', 'Denied', 'Expired', 'Failed', 'Pending',
'Refunded', 'Reversed', 'Under Review', 'Voided') AND orderdate
'.mysqli_real_escape_string($yesterday).')
Personally I would have used a lookup table for the order status.

INSERT INTO SERVER (IPAddress, Token) VALUES

$intoken = uniqid();
$db-query(update SERVER set Token = '$intoken');
$res = $db-query(select * from SERVER);

After the script exits successfully I inspect the value in the Token

the proper value.
Interestingly, if I error out the script with a syntax error or some such

Any idea what is happening here and I need to do here. Seems like there is
some sort of flush that needs to happen which happens only if the script

Note the lack of single quotes on the third value; mysql will treat those as

If you absolutely have to store the leading zeros you'll need to store them
in a char type and quote them when INSERTing or UPDATEing

[PHP-DB] Re: MySQL Wildcard

Hello All,
What I want to do is get all the fields from a table without

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL

TIA,
Well, I'd hazard a guess that OPT_GRPS_TABLE may not be what you think it
is; in any case, the first step in debugging would be to echo your query $q
and see what it really contains. And does the class that handles your db
query have an error reporting function? If so, try using it.
Note that to retrieve all records, you could skip the WHERE, or use WHERE 1

Where does $band_id come from? If from a form, and you have register_globals

depending on the METHOD of the form (POST or GET) to retrieve the value of
$band_id
Echoing $query will give you some useful information.

0a is new line character code. Check your script you must be somewhere
displaying it.
For a wild guess - is ?php the first line in your script? If there is an
empty line above it, that could cause the extra EOL character.

Re: [PHP-DB] slow loading page
Micah Stevens wrote: Not enough information there to make any sort of diagnosis, but here are some things to try to narrow down the problem: 1) ssh into the server, and run 'top' to watch the process list. Then while watching that, hit reload in the browser to see if the HTTP process pegs out while you're waiting for the page. If it does, for some reason apache/php is struggling. Otherwise it's likely something else. 2) run 'ngrep' on port 80 of the incoming network interface (eth0, or whatever it's hooked to), and reload the page again. Are you immediatly seeing the request come though or does it take a while? This type of thing could be caused not by the webserver, but instead by a badly configured router, or something in the network. If it takes a while to come through, you need to look at your network configuration. 3) Is this a DNS issue? If you're accessing via a domain name, and not a direct IP type URL, a shoddy DNS connection could make things really take a long time. 3a) If so, is hostname lookup turned on for apache logging? This may result in yet another query to the DNS. I'm not sure however whether that lookup might delay delivery of the document, or whether the document is served independently og logging actions; I would guess the latter.

[PHP-DB] Re: first record not displayed
Paul Bern wrote:
Hi,
I have the feeling I'm missing something very obvious here, but it's
driving me nuts! Using this select statement:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM latlong ,$link);
$nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
and either of these to display the results:
for ($j=0; $rec=mysql_fetch_array($result); $j++){
print j=$j id={$rec[id]} seq={$rec[seq]}\n;
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo id={$row[id]} seq={$row[seq]} \n;
}
The very first record gets dropped/not displayed. The number of records
returned ($nrows) matches what I get from MySQL and the first record gets
displayed (using PHPMyAdmin). Even if I change the select to pull only
certain records, the very first one does not get displayed.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
Thanks!

That sounds like you may somewhere have a mysql_fetch_array() from which
you are not using the result; thsat ill fetch the first record, and if you
then start using the data from a while($row = mysql_fetch_array it will
start with the second record.
Something looks odd about your for loop, but my brain is a bit tired at the
moment and I can't pinpoint it :-)

Re: [PHP-DB] auto_increment and INSERT INTO
On Sun, 22 Jan 2006 15:08, Ron Piggott (PHP) wrote:
I have various tables where a column is set to auto_increment in my
table structure. I have been using the following INSERT query format:
INSERT INTO table VALUES ('$auto_increment_variable','$variable_1',

$auto_increment_variable I have immediately queried the table for
$variable_1 and $variable_2 and used
$reference = mysql_result($result,$i,reference);

Is there a way I may find out what value was assigned to the
$auto_increment_variable when the INSERT INTO query is issued?
Yes. Again, it's in the PHP docs if you look in http://www.php.net/mysql
for Get the ID generated from the previous INSERT operation
Really, you should try the docs first instead of falling back on the soft
option of asking the list.
Also, just as a side note, you don't need to provide a value for the
auto-increment field; that's why it is called auto as it does the
incrementing automatically. If your response to that is I need the
values in a specific order then you have the wrong idea of what the
auto-increment field is for.

(Correctly being what I am intending it to do) I took a look at the table this morning. One record remains that was created 2006-01-19 at 23:55:37. These are the values of date_created and time_created. The current values are approximately 2006-01-20 and 05:50:00 This is the select statement I am writing about: SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `date_created` = '$date_90_minutes_ago' AND `time_created` = '$time_90_minutes_ago' Intellectually I know the problem: 05:50:00 is much earlier than 23:55:37 ... thus my AND is not allowing both conditions to exist together. Is there a way that I may modify this SELECT statement so the present conditions continue to exist and add a second part to the SELECT statement that if the time is 01:30:00 or higher that records from the previous day are selected? This continues to allow the 90 minute time frame for users logged into my web site ... I am not sure how you would add an OR function to the above without messing up what presently works :) (I am writing a SESSION function for my web site using mySQL and a cron. The select statement I quoted above is part of the cron.) Ron It would seem you have different columns for date and time?

Alternatively, if you are using MySQL, you can use DATE_FORMAT to achieve
the same result.

Try checking the number of rows returned to see if the is in fact a matching

[PHP-DB] Re: How do I reverse-finding root entry in tree-structure ?

Hi gang
This is possibly insanely simple, but I've been coding on it for the past
11 hours, so my head's gone a little fuzzy.
been through the MySQL manual, but it's not really agreeing with me on
finding anything useful...
I've got a table of categories, organised in a tree structure:
table wp_categories
catID int(10) UNSIGNED
parentID int(10) UNSIGNED
rootID int(10) UNSIGNED
level tinyint(3) UNSIGNED
cat_title varchar(255)
cat_desc text
catID being the primary key, parentID the parent's ID, and rootID the ID
of the root category of the branch this category belongs to. Level is
simply a number as to how deep in the tree the given category is. I only
use it to make it simpler to build the graphics.
Here comes the problem: I need to be able to build visually the branch
from root to a given folder, using only the given folder's ID as starting
point. That is, traversing backwards up the branch from any given folder,
and reattaching the branch till the root is reached.
Building the entire tree from root down is easy enough, but for some
reason I've got a brainfart as to how I can go backwards.
That said, I know I could probably do this using recursive SQL statements,
but I'd rather use as little talking with the DB as possible. The goal is
to do this one task with as few SQL calls as entirely possible, preferably
1, 2 at most... since I found building arrays and traversing them is much
faster than SQL calls...
the root ID is 0, so any category in root, will have parentID of 0, and
rootID of 0.
I figure using the rootID to just pull the relevant branch might be part
of it, but my problem comes with reattaching the branch correctly, and
finding the root folder and stick the branch to it ... and doing all of
this in reverse since that's what I need for the visual part...
Using MySQL btw ...

The problem that I am having is with the update Mysql feature
What I need to happen is the first line of the CSV is the headings (db
field names)
So that when I do the update it only updates the fields that were
chosen
on the pick_csv page.
Now I will have no way of knowing before hand what fields will be
chosen
so I will have to create the update Mysql query on the fly,
I hope this is clear enough
any help will be great
I haven't looked at your page; but the general idea would be to test what
options are selected and dynamically build your query accordingly. Eg,
assuming your info is coming from POST:
$query = SELECT id;
if(isset($_POST['name'])) { $query .= , name; }
// more of the same for each field
$query .= FROM table WHERE where ORDER BY whatever;
Or something like that. Then you output in csv format with echo or print or
sprintf or whatever

[PHP-DB] Re: passing parameter to function
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Hi, Say I have a script that knows the value of a variable $codename. The script contains a function that needs to know the value of $codename. What is the syntax for passing the parameter to the function? Example: the script knows that $codename = blah. The function has to pass 'blah' on to another script as a hidden value in a form using the POST method. The other script is not receiving the value of $codename. Thanks for any help.

[PHP-DB] Re: Starters question: mysql PHP.INI
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Dear all, I'm trying to get the horde applications working. The horde people have redirected my question to this list. Here it comes: How should I change the PHP.INI file in order to work with mysql session data, instead of files? Have a look at http://www.php.net/session_set_save_handler for more information I ask this, because googling did not reveal any parameters to put in the ini file. I also tried to change the path from /var/www/tmp to /var/www/html/tmp, but files keep on being written to /var/www/tmp. How can this be? You realise that you need to restart Apache to have the changes in php.in read? Thanks, Jeroen -- Quod subigo farinam A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[PHP-DB] Re: resultset problem
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... HI all, I am querying a db and getting the resultset, then to get out each individual field of the resultset (which is a single unique line all the time) as mysql_result($result2, 0, p_company). the problem is that if the actual field has a space in it say Sun microsystems, I only get sun and it doesnt give me anything after the first space. I have looked at the manual but as far as im concerned its really vague in its description of alot of the mysql functions. any idea what could be causing this?? thanx Angelo How do you _know_ you are only getting back up to the first space? Depending on how you are trying to display the results, your html may be incorrect, giving the false impression that you have missing information. If, for example, you are displaying in a text field like this: INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE=php echo $value then you need to quote the value to avoid the problem you describe. If this is not the case, perhaps a snippet of code that illustrates the problem might help us to help you. -- Quod subigo farinam A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[PHP-DB] Re: php/mysql weblog - addnews function problems
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... hey, I've been working on a PHP/MYSQL weblog and I've got most of it working apart from the adding new news function and a login section. I've set the form up but it is coming up with a few errors and the actual submitting of data doesn't work as of yet. The code is too long to include in this post and its hard to explain exactly where it is going wrong because I'm fairly new to PHP and MYSQL - this is my first stab at them both. Just wandering if anyone could take a couple of minutes to look at my php code and tell me what is wrong with it? (it's probably something blindingly obvious;)) thanks very much slippy Perhaps if you were to post the errors returned and the few lines of code leading up to the line where the error occurs... -- Quod subigo farinam A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Hi guys, So that I don't drive members of the mailing list insane: In Outlook XP (2002), I want to enable the Out of office feature; what I don't want to do is have it reply to every message posted to the PHP mailing list.

Thanks, Gav Can't tell you how to do a rule in Outhouse as I don't use it, but the rule would be to check the To: field to see if it contains the mailing list address - [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this list Cheers -- Quod subigo farinam A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[PHP-DB] Re: Display Mysql Result in drop down list
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
Hi all,
Right now I'm trying to retrieve one of the column tutor_name and display al
the tutor's name in a drop down list. The problem now is, the drop down list
only manage to display 1 record from that row instead of all tutor's name
under tutor_name column...wonder where the problem lies??
Hope to get some help soon.
Below is a snip of the code:
Drop me a msg if anyone needs the entire code.
SELECT NAME=tutor_name class=textarea
?
$sql = mysql_query(SELECT DISTINCT tutor_name FROM tutor );
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
replace the above with
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
If will be true, but will only produce one result. You want to iterate
through all results, which is why you use while. It will return as many
results as are available.
{
print OPTION VALUE=\$tutor_name\ SELECTED .$row
[tutor_name]. /option;
}
$result = $db-query($sql);
?
/select
Thanks in advance =)
Irin.
