Re: [PHP-DB] Use of 'as' name in where sub-clause
Very simply, because a clause WHERE sales * cost 100 would look up to sales and cost in the expression as SELECT fields.

You are very confused. Read the manual page on header(). You can't have any output before you try to redirect with a header(). If you're trying to implement some sort of brute force protection by using sleep(), you're using it in the wrong method, anyhow. Your login processing script should sleep for a second or two whether the login is correct or not and it should be the first thing that it does (i.e. before any output or redirection). If you only sleep() on failures and redirect on good logins, brute force methods can pick up on that and adjust their methods to get around the wait time. -- ---John Holmes...

project i'm working with, his host died or something.
but, the phpMyadmin (on that host) can NOT do a backup of 200mb table
without running out of memory or something weird.
so what is the best way to text dump the table?
i thought i would (pseudo-code):
open DB
do while not EOF
grab 1000 rows from DB
write to a file on host www path
filename = filename000 + 1
until EOF
user would then FTP down the files to his machine.
but i figured i could use the HEADER to send it to the user.
i grabbed this from the HEADER help section:
?php
$output_file = 'something.txt';
$content_len = 666;
@ob_end_clean();
@ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
header('Content-Type: application/octetstream; name=' . $output_file .
'');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . $output_file . '');
header(Content-length: $content_len);
?
is that the best way to send the txt file to the user?
thanks...

Re: [PHP-DB] converting scripts for register_globals=Off
If your form is well designed, there should NOT be another POST variable
named ID or id used for a different purpose.
Your form data validation routine will examine the 2-uple ( action, id), not
id alone. therefore no problem.
In many cases I find it convenient to design a page so that it can be called
indifferently by POST or GET.

I suggest you make sure you use $_GET['your_variable'] when ever you're

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL - counting number of instances of a word in a field
It is easy to get around this limitation: for each column containing indexable content, create a shadow column containing content prepared for FULLTEXT indexing. I usually do the following: - for each word: - replace all non whitespace, non-blank characters by _ - right pad to 4 with _ for example B.M.W. become B_M_W_, tax will become tax_ now you prepare similarly the string to MATCH actually doing so is good personal hygiene regardless of the value of ft_max_len set by the host. it is mandatory when you deal with languages which do not separate words by whitespaces (in my case Japanese) HTH Ignatius _ - Original Message - From: Gavin Amm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ignatius Reilly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 10:03 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL - counting number of instances of a word in a field Yes, They do.

The same can be achieved by using the excellent PEAR HTML_TreeMenu class.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Tree structure - how to show only current branch ??
Ok, Tom Reed got my thinker running big time ... and I've been trying to
build an expandable and modifiable tree structure where it only displays
the branch leading to the current folder... Showing the entire tree is
easy, but how do I change the code to only display the branch we need???
... I've never coded visual trees before, so this is new for me ...
Found several samples with google where the code relies on the structure
being fixed in the DB. What I want to create is the possibility to mode
folders around within the tree ... literally moving branches from one
place
to another, while retaining their content.
DB structure is simply this (I want to get rid of the level field if
it's
at all possible to count the levels with recursive functions, but for
now
it stays).
folderID int(10) UNSIGNED auto-increment
parentID int(10) UNSIGNED
level tinyint(3) UNSIGNED
name varchar(255)
(I'm fully aware that int may be overkill, but this is for testing
purposes...)
test data:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/sql.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1server=1db=tree

11 10 4 sub-sub 1
12 10 4 sub-sub 2

Current code looks like this, the 2 subfunctions prints the branches,
the
main function below prints the root structure...:
function count_children($parentID) {
// count number of children in folder
$count = mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(*) AS num_children FROM folders
WHERE
`parentID`='$parentID');
$numrows = mysql_fetch_array($count);
return $numrows['num_children'];
}
function print_children($parentID) {
// print the branch of sub-folders
$children = mysql_query(SELECT folderID,level,name FROM folders
WHERE
`parentID`='$parentID');
while($child = mysql_fetch_array($children)) {
$folderID = $child['folderID'];
$name = $child['name'];
$level = $child['level'];
for ($i = 0; $i $level; $i++) {
echo('middot');
}
echo(middot; a
href=\test1.php?folderID=$folderID\$name/abr\n);
// let's find children... recursive call !!
if (count_children($folderID) 0) {
print_children($folderID);
}
}
}
// get root parents -- main tree function
$parents = mysql_query(SELECT folderID,name FROM folders WHERE
`parentID`='0');
while($folder = mysql_fetch_array($parents)) {
$folderID = $folder['folderID'];
$name = $folder['name'];
echo(middot; a
href=\test1.php?folderID=$folderID\$name/abr\n);
// let's find children...
if (count_children($folderID) 0) {
print_children($folderID);
}
}
The output of all this looks like this:
. http://localhost/tests/tree%20structure/test1.php?folderID=1parent 1
.. http://localhost/tests/tree%20structure/test1.php?folderID=6child
of 1 ...

That may depend of what database server you are using, for mysql you can
use:

Re: [PHP-DB] Rules in a database
If you string-concatenate atomic rules in a field, IMHO you will never
manage to extract any information.
Parsing these strings will be a nightmare.
With the fully normalized model I have in mind, your SQL should be a breeze.
This is quite logical after all: your flattened rules are polynoms of
degree 1 in an arbitrary number of variables; each monome of which is
homéomorphic (?) to a subset of the rule set. This structure matches well
the representation of records in a SQL table as set elements:
- it is easy to check that a given monome exists,
- then it is easy to check that the required monomes have been associated as
a complex rule.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Rules in a database
Thanks for that. I understand you'd have one table with simple phrases
like a=b being atomic rule 1,
c=d being atomic rule 2...e=f being atomic rule 4, say; the second table
with 1,2 as an AND group
rule 1, being the 2 alternative - OR - conditions, one of which must
exist; and the third table with
1-4, stating that AND group rule 1 would lead to result 4. In total, if
1 or 2 is true then e=f.
I think, however, that I might find it easier to combine:
- store AND rule groups in a table (1-n relation to the atomic
table)
- store full rules in a table (1-n relation to the AND table)
into one table column and use string functions to extract the rule. The
first table remains the same,
being a list of a=b rules. The second table might have a record in the
IF field +(12 OR 3) AND (13 OR
4) and 4 in the THEN field..
Looking beyond to the sort of queries I might want to run. If I knew a
condition was true, say
condition 12, I would want to know what possible rules might be relevant
(I think of a rule as an
IF:THEN set). Or if I knew two conditions were true, say 12 and 13, I
would want to know what rules
applied when those two conditions were true. The queries would be: SELECT
full_rule FROM
full_rules_table WHERE INSTR('/12/',IF) - I don't know if that INSTR works
as shown. That would tell
me if the rule might apply. To know whether the rule would actually
apply - is fully qualified - I
need to know if condition 13 - or alternative 4) is also true. I envisage
parsing the expression +(12
OR 3) AND (13 OR 4) into array elements (12 OR 3) and (13 OR 4) and then
going through each and
comparing to the conditions I know exist, then reporting various facets of
the rule, including
alternatives or additional conditions required.
The report would contain information like:
These conditions are true to start with.
The following results follow (since all conditions needed are true)
- the same result would occur in alternative conditions:
..instead of condition 12 condition 3 applied etc
The following results could occur if additional conditions were true:...
- result 1 ...the following extra conditions are requiredetc.
Do you think this is feasible?

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Rules in a database
A bit of algebra first:
any expression formed of atomic expressions, AND, OR and parentheses can
be
reduced to a canonical form, by using the De Morgan laws:
a AND ( b OR c ) is equiv. to a AND b OR a AND c
So a rule can eventually be reduced to AND groups, joined by OR:
a(1) AND... AND a(n) OR ... OR z(1) AND ... AND z(p)
Each AND group contains 1 or more rules.
Therefore, to model input rules:
- store atomic rules in a table
- store AND rule groups in a table (1-n relation to the atomic
table)
- store full rules in a table (1-n relation to the AND table)
Now you can model output rules likewise, and finally create a table of
associations between input and output rules
Problem is: once you've flattened your rules to the canonical form, they
can
become illegible. So perhaps a hierarchical data model (XML) would be
more
appropriate, for your rules would remain human-legible (and thererfore
human-maintainable)

Hmmm... What of maintenance? One day your pointed-headed boss asks you to add a civility field (Mr|Mrs|Colonel|...), a birthdate, etc. How do you do that with a 1-table design? You will have to create 1-NF temporary tables in the process... How do you search for an author?

Re: [PHP-DB] multi-language site
The same can be achieved in a much simpler way with Gettext! With gettext, you send a file to your translator, and receive the same file completed. Period. Instead of logging to a DB, the translator simply creates string translations with a user-friendly editor, such as the excellent POEdit (http://poedit.sourceforge.net) for Windows. Takes a dummy 2 minutes to understand how it works. I guarantee that with this method you will translate 500 strings in less than a day. In contrast, updating DB records one by one is much longer: requires a broadband connection, no cut-and-paste available (believe me, there is a lot of such!) Also, later updating your DB concurrently will be a nightmare. With Gettext, you simply regenerate the master file (eg English) from the application and send the language files to the translator(s). The few strings that are not yet translated will appear nicely in their editor.

Hi. Richard, you seem to be confusing gettext with something else. Gettext is NOT an automated translation service. What you do is mark strings to translate in the original application, then have them translated by a human. When confronted with a marked string to echo, the application will look up in the translated file for the corresponding translation.

There is a difference between translation and localization. The free Babelfish service is a good example of translation. You'll get a word-for-word translation of whatever you want to type in the English box. However, what shows up in the translation box is not always what you meant in English. Have you ever bought a Japanese product whose instructions read: Use caution when opening my box. I wormhole swimming pool orange piranha yesterday, sir. Your best bet may be to write all of the English text, have it translated and put into XML files as Ignatius suggested, then use PHP to set/retrieve cookie settings to display the proper language. I can personally vouch for the difference between text that has been machine-translated only and text that has been machine translated and reviewed/corrected by a human. Machine translation cannot match a human's ability to compensate and account for context and usage. There are quite a few localzation companies (SH3, VistaTec, SDL International) who specialize in translating content for web sites even in XML format. Send them an English XML document, they'll send you a Spanish one back without messing with your tags - only the content gets translated. Of course, it DOES all come down to dollars and cents and how important the translation really is; only you can decide that.

Hi there,
I did a test on my local machine, set the upload limit for PHP to 50Megs
for
forms (WAAA more than I need, but then atleast I know that isn't the
problem).
Then, I select the file through my web form, put in the delimiter which
works great on small files. Then, I try the larger file - exactly the
same
format (As I just cut a portion of the file and pasted into another file
about with just about 50 entries to test which worked) and then click
send,
but when I try to echo the result to debug, the array is totally empty,
and
even tells me it is empty, but only when the file is above a certain size
(Not worked out what size that is yet though).
The file itself is around 5.4 megs, and I know it's not a server timeout
issue as i've increased everything I could find in my local Apache config,
from a timeout of 300 to 3000 (Again, just to eliminate all possible
courses
that I can think of). The only thing I can think of is that there is some
illegal char somewhere in the file, but I have no idea what that could be.
I'm using the straight line up as the delimiter to avoid any , issues etc
. as I know that | isn't used in the file at all.
It's just getting to me, there has to be a reason why :-( I'm using the
following code (Minus the bit that enters the DB into the database, as
that
works fine with small files so would with large too):
if ($option == importcsv) {
if ($userfile == ){
$failed = 'yes';
} else {
$row = 1;
$handle = fopen ($userfile,r);
while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 10, |)) {
$num = count ($data);
$row++;
echo $data[0];;
};
fclose ($handle);
}};

I've never seen where the file size causes a problem that wasn't one of
the file size settings either in the upload form or php.ini. I'd focus
on figuring out why it's failing on the large files before trying to
split it. No errors at all? Just a blank screen? Are you uploading the
file through a browser?

Re: [PHP-DB] Select Value with 's

as opposed to a string.
Eg you could in theory have columns called select or Mes Documents, and
do:
SELECT * FROM `select` AS S, `Mes Documents`AS MD ...
of course it is wholly unadvisable to do so.
Best to steer clear of reserved words and use well-formed names, with a

Betreff: [PHP-DB] Select Value with 's
This is a basic question but I am all messed up and need to be
straightened
out..
Have a select field called customer that works great except when there
is a
' in the customer name.
Have tried addslash and stripslashes but I think I might be using them
wrong.
If I addslash to the select value, the value received but the result
page is
truncated up to the point of
the ' .
Can someone refresh me on the correct use of add and strip slashes...
please??
Thanks
Aleks

Re: [PHP-DB] Multiple forms and multiple submissions
One solution is to use a javascript to set your hidden field to
already_submitted (or such) at the end of the last form page. Therefore
upon refresh, the user will come to the already submitted page. Add one
already submitted switch case.
BTW your construct
switch ( ) {
} else
is quite non-standard.
use 'default:' instead.
Also if you go into these kind of forms, you will find it an immensely
profitable investment to learn the PEAR Quickform and Quickform
Controller. They do all the dirty work for you. You can design a tabbed
form such as yours in a breeze.

only submitting variables from the LAST form to the LAST table (memmisc).
The other tables from the previous forms are empty. Then, if the user tries

Any ideas on how I can fix this??

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL Regular expression
Problem is, REGEX will only test for a match, not returning anything other
than 0|1
You can instead:
1. Use a UDF doing just that (counting occurences in a string):
http://www.tsc.ro/free/
(haven't tried it myself, because no Windows dll available)
2. Replace successively all figures by '' and count length:
SELECT
CHARACTER_LENGTH(
REPLACE(
REPLACE(
mycol,
'1', ''
) ,
'2', ''
)
)
... and recurse - ugly, but works
3. Try successive REGEX matching the number of ',' with an integer
4. Best, of course, normalize your DB. But this may not be an option...

The problem however is that the week number is variable.
Is there a way to count the number of non-consecutive occurances of a

Subject: [PHP-DB] update db with variables
Hi,
I'm writing an application that will display the contents of a db in the
browser, including the db-assigned id number. The user can then enter
the id number in a form and the browser will display the record
corresponding to that id number, with the data in editable text fields.
The user edits the text fields and submits to an 'update' script using
POST, and the update script puts the new values back into the database.
In the update script, I'm trying to access the field names and values
in the $_POST array, and update the db using a loop:
while ($data = each($_POST)) {
$name = $data[ 'key' ];
$value = $data[ 'value' ];
echo $name, $value;
$result =
mysql_query(UPDATE tablename SET $name = $value WHERE ID=$id) or die
(unable to update record);
}
The echo statement shows me that the script dies on the first time
through the loop.
The application must be on line this week. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Many thanks,
Robbie

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL: How to properly extract fields from retrieved
single record ???
Hi gang
Still working on this DB for my gameclan not that it's essential what
it's for... and be warned: Never worked with any form of DB in PHP before
I
began this project, so I'm a total n00b at these MySQL commands (and the
manual for MySQL is by far nowhere near as good as the PHP one).
Anyways, I'm retrieving a single record from the DB table, and then,
because of the way the data needs to be displayed and manipulated, need to
extract every single field from that record as a seperate value.
I tried this:
$num2edit = $_POST['edit'];
$link = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password)
or die('Could not connect : '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database) or die('Could not select database');
$query = SELECT
countryNum,country,nw,gov,strat,spy,troops,jets,turrets,tanks,ally,owner
FROM a2a WHERE countryNum=$num2edit;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$countryNum = mysql_result($result,1,'countryNum');
$country = mysql_result($result,1,'country');
$nw = mysql_result($result,1,'nw');
$gov = mysql_result($result,1,'gov');
$strat = mysql_result($result,1,'strat');
$spy = mysql_result($result,1,'spy');
$troops = mysql_result($result,1,'troops');
$jets = mysql_result($result,1,'jets');
$turrets = mysql_result($result,1,'turrets');
$tanks = mysql_result($result,1,'tanks');
$ally = mysql_result($result,1,'ally');
$owner = mysql_result($result,1,'owner');
/* Free resultset */
mysql_free_result($result);
/* Closing connection */
mysql_close($link);
But all it gives me are errors like this:
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result

Obviously, the first mysql_result line is line 350 in the full code. I've
also tried changing the row number to 0, but results in the same errors.
I can't find any decent reference on the web that shows how to do this -
field extraction - when there's only the single record. So I've been
mixing
code from various places. And I don't even know if it retrieves the right
record, or any record at all (how do I test that?).
Any help is highly appreciated :)

The thing that IS ilogical is the way MySQL plays the game. What would you think if all of a sudden the date command in linux did something like that (try to add some strange date when the given date isn't a valid date)? Now lets suppose this is a good idea, and one would have to program to get the data integrity (data integrity isn't only when the database server fails). Then why do I have to put different data types? Let's use text everywhere! Or if I do use different data types, what if I have a bug? I could have people loading erronous data in the database and not getting an error, and after loading lots of information I find the bug, but see that all the data is bogus (like the numeric example I gave earlier). To state it more clearly, I havn't seen Oracle, Informix or PostgreSQL do things like this, which reminds me of what someone told me once: MySQL is just a FS with an lousy SQL language (and pretty incomplete).
