[PHP-DB] Unsubscribe me please
Hi, I tried unsubscribing from the list, but I was unsuccessful, I believe because when I subscribed I cleverly added +php to the end of my email address (for Gmail filtering). Could I be removed please? Thanks. -- Graham Holtslander Computer Systems Technologist www.graham.holtslander.com mene...@gmail.com
Re: [PHP-DB] Another PDO ?
I think it's so that you could write functions as generically as possible. So you don't have to pass in the number of columns or hard code in values for number of columns, you can dynamically check the column count for each result set that gets passed in. That's my guess.

Re: [PHP-DB] convert special characters.
Not sure if this will work any better, but have you tried using
htmlspecialchars instead of htmlentities?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php
You should also use mysql*i*_real_escape_string instead of the older (and
deprecated) mysql_real_escape_string. When you use the mysqli you'll need
to pass in a link to your database as the first parameter, with the string
to be escaped as the second. This will also require you to use mysqli
objects I'm pretty sure (which are better to be using in the first place).
See more about it here:
http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php
Better than nothing? Sorry!

Help!
How do I get special characters to convert correctly when inserting and
reading from my database.
For example.
é = eacute;
ë = euml;
I keep getting
ë and é
using htmlentities, htmlspecialchars, etc...
Any pointers? Please!
Going bald over here.
here is my funcitons
function stringToMysqlFormat($original_**input) {
//for inserting the data with special characters INTO mysql
$html_encoded = htmlentities(mysql_real_**

return $html_encoded;

No one?
Not even a link I can go look this up myself with?
I have successfuly converted before, but this time the company
is in the netherlands and their special characters are doing this.
Also, I have the database set to UTF-8, but when I check the charset:
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($con);
it returns latin1?
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Not looking for someone to do it for me.
Just some help figuring out which way to look.
Why is htmlentities() converting wrong?
Hope someone out there can help.
TIA,

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Stuck trying to upload and grab file name
Does the problem have anything to do with this:
[tmp_name]= string(14) /tmp/phpcLtE6W
So this:
$file = $_FILES[file][tmp_name];
Would make $file == /tmp/phpcLtE6W
I'm not sure if that's what you want. Seems more likely that you'd want it
to be:
$file = $_FILES[file][name];
Useful?

Thank you very much my friend.
The significant difference between your code and mine is that my file
contents are going into a MySQL database and it is this db function that is
crapping out. The SQL (with variables replaced with static values) runs
clean - http://pastie.org/4302489
But as soon as you throw in a variable/dynamic value, it just becomes a
mess.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: Stuck trying to upload and grab file name
At the risk of being unable to understand all the posts that are here
already, here is some std. code that I use when I'm uploading a file.
First - i capture the input field in a local var and all of its components
in other local vars to make my coding easier later on.
$inputfield = $_POST['infile'];// infile is the html name of the
type='file' field
$destfolder = (where I want the end result stored) $outfile = (the filename
of the end result) $result =
HandleUploadedFile($inputfield,$destfolder,$outfile);
(handle $result after return)
***
The function I use:
function HandleUploadedFile($inputfield,$destfolder,$outfile)
{// parm 1 is the name of the type=file field in the html; 2 3 are
path and output filename you want to store it in
global $msg,$ftype,$ferror,$fname,$fsize,$ftmpname;
$ftype = $_FILES[$inputfield][type];
$ferror = $_FILES[$inputfield][error];
$fname = $_FILES[$inputfield][name];
$fsize = $_FILES[$inputfield][size];
$ftmpname = $_FILES[$inputfield][tmp_name];
// code up acceptabe filetypes here
if ( $ftype == text/plain)
{
if ($ferror 0)
{
$msg .= ' Upload error - return code was '.$ferror;
return False;
}
else
{
if (file_exists($destfolder . $fname))
{
$msg .= Duplicate filename - upload not done,
continuing.;
return True;
}
else
{
$msg .= File has been uploaded to: . $destfolder
.$outfile;
move_uploaded_file($ftmpname,$destfolder . $outfile);
return True;
}
}
}
else
{
$msg .= Invalid file type for menu input upload;
$msg .= Type is .$ftype;
return False;
}
}
You of course want to name your end result like the original filename, so
you will have to make a change to that parameter, but this will work for
you.

If by the line you mean: [tmp_name]= string(14) /tmp/phpcLtE6W That is from the bottom of this Pastie link: http://pastie.org/4317155 On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 10:29 AM, Jim Giner jim.gi...@albanyhandball.comwrote: On 7/24/2012 12:05 PM, Graham H. wrote: Does the problem have anything to do with this: [tmp_name]= string(14) /tmp/phpcLtE6W So this: $file = $_FILES[file][tmp_name]; Would make $file == /tmp/phpcLtE6W I'm not sure if that's what you want.

Okay. That line is also in the Pastie code :) Though it isn't in the OP. Hence my (and your) confusion now. Line 20 from here: http://pastie.org/4317155 also line 24.
