 this is the error :-

 Invalid query: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '2004-06-23
 11:09:57', date_modified = '-00-00 00:00:00', date_closed =' at line 6

You'll need to escape the string containing the query before you can insert 
it.

 Maybe there's something I'm doing incorrectly, but I cannot get the

 they both give the wrong time. I even emailed the server admin to make
 sure that the server clock was set correctly, and he said that it was.
 I don't know... Here's my PHP:

 $problemDateTime = date(Y-m-d g:i:s A);
 which returns: 2004-06-13 11:24:21 PM

 To the untrained eye ;), that might appear correct. But that was
 actually submitted at 11:24 AM, not PM. So, that's my code. Any
 suggestions??

Try gmdate() and see whether that gives the expected result.

Use './configure --help | less' to see what you should really  e using.

 What's interesting is I update another machine with PHP 4.3.5 with GD /

It's only interesting if both machines have the exact same configuration. 
Otherwise find out what the difference is to figure out why one is working

OK, do what you need to do using a form. Set the form to use the GET method. 
Now when you submit your form your URL will show something like ...

You're not performing any checks on the input you're getting from your form. 
The most simple check for whether the form was submitted is to use:

  if (!empty($_POST)) { // form was submitted }
or
  if (!empty($_GET))  { // form was submitted }

In addition you should always perform sanity checks on values of the 
individual form elements. Search the archives/web for 'sql injection' for 
more info.

 I can't use md5 because i want to retrieve it and send emails to my users

If they forget their password shoot them. Or depending on how secure your 
application needs to be:

 - generate a new password, send it to the user and ask them to login using 
new password then change it

 - send them an email containing a token (you need to generate a token and 
insert into database), give them a page where they can enter that token and 
allow them to change password.

Refer to the archives for details and maybe other methods for dealing with 
lost passwords.

 md5 is only a one way encryption,

It is not an encryption, it's a one-way hash.

 thus i have to resort to using
 encode('$password', '$salt') where $salt is a value that i have assigned..

 because I know the value of $salt, I would be able to decode the password
 easily by looking at my database and running decode.

If your database and webserver are both located on the same server then 
encoding (or encrypting) anything is largely a waste of effort.

If a hostile user ever gets access to your database they would (most likely) 
will have access to your decryption key as well - in this case your salt. 
Encryption is only useful where the data and the means of decrypting it are 
stored in separate locations and compromise of one does not neccessarily lead 
to the compromise of the other.

 with blob, i can't see the encoded password easily and thus there is
 'maximum security'. haha.. but i'm still open to any form of suggestions!

So pretending that you cannot 'see' the password increases the security!?! 
Like the myth about ostriches burying their heads in the sand to 'hide' from 
their enemies?

If you don't want to accidently see people's passwords why not just rot13 it 
(apparently some companies seems to think that is a secure enough form of 
encryption).

As you're asking on the PHP-DB list I would assume that your dates are stored

You cannot just output image data in the middle of an HTML page. All images in 
an HTML page are separate files and are each requested separately by your 
browser. Thus in your page where you want your image to appear you need your 
img tag looking something like:

  img src=/path/to/your/image_generation_script.php?optional_parameter_a=1

image_generation_script.php will obviously be the script that creates the

Right so echo($sql) to find your error.

Use the concatenation operator, which is a period (.), a + is the mathematical

Also, always use mysql_error().

 Do you find it cleaner? 

Consistent - items in arrays are always referenced by $array['item'].
Clean - no jumping in and out of double-quotes

 I've often used Richard's method myself, for the

The braces syntax highlights fine on Quanta.

If you're using MySQL have a look at the column types SET and ENUM. However in

Has anyone every performed such a feat as to check for matching fields

getting ridiculous.
   

Are the columns actually declared UNIQUE in your database? That's the first
step. Then you can just do the update, and if it fails with a specific
error, you know you've hit a duplicate.
The long way to do it is to just SELECT the data first, then update if there
are no matches
(assuming MySQL, here, but the concept is the same)

$query = SELECT mac, ip FROM table WHERE mac = '{$_POST['mac']}' OR ip =
'{$_POST['ip']}';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
   if($_POST['mac'] == $row['mac'])
   { echo {$row['mac']} is already being used. ; }
   elseif($_POST['ip'] == $row['ip'])
   { echo {$row['ip'] is already being used. ; }
}
else
{
   $query = UPDATE table SET mac = '{$_POST['mac']}', ip =
'{$_POST['ip']}' WHERE hostname = '{$_POST['hostname']}';
   $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error));
   echo Record updated!;

If you want an example of the first (and better) method, let me know.

 Surely there are some differences in SQL conformance and syntax extensions,

Whilst there isn't a builtin database abstraction layer in PHP itself there

Either install both from source or both from RPMs. The file locations and

I recommend that you install mysql from the official rpms and apache/php from

But why are you storing the tablenames in a central table? Maybe I'm too 
stupid but I can't see any advantage in doing so. And in doing so you're 
creating that little problem for yourself.

You have to ask them to upload it to the server:

[PHP-DB] MySQL join with variable table?

2003-11-17 Thread Jason Godesky
In a MySQL database, I have several tables, including one central table 
that essentially keeps track of the records in the other tables.

TABLE1
+---+---+---+
| id| str   | val1  |
+---+---+---+
|   123456789   |   TABLE2|   987654321   |
+---+---+---+
TABLE2
+---+---+
| id| val2  |
+---+---+
|   123456789   | j00 r0xx0r  |
+---+---+
Currently, I'm selecting all the records for a given entry with two SELECT 
statements, one to the central table which gives me the name of the second 
table.  My question is, is there any way to do this in a single query with 
a join?  I suspect not, but I wanted to see if anybody on this list had 
any ideas before I give up on the possibility entirely.

 the reason i don't want to read from the server is because i don't want to
 use up too much space and processing time on the server.. the file has
 50,000 records of information..

 is there another way other than uploading on the server side??

Two options:

1) You can recompile PHP with the startrek module and use startrek_transport() 
to instantly transfer anything (data, even physical objects) from anywhere to 
anywhere else.

2) You can use telepathic means to read the data stored on the client, then 
type it into a file and save onto the server.

But technically speaking, both of the above are still variations of 
'uploading' the file onto the server. So another option is:

3) Install a webserver on the client and serve the files from there instead.

What exactly do you mean by puts all data in the EMail field? Does 
print_r($data) look OK? And you do realise that in your SQL statement you're 
inserting the same value for both EMail and name?

  What's $delim?

 Sorry, delim is from the form you use to select the CSV file, as you can
 select the char as the seperator (I have set the default to a COMMA
 though).

By that you do mean:

  $delim = ',';

and not

  $delim = COMMA;

?

Why not just do the comparison directly within the query?

And if you want to get the above working, have you tried debugging it?

You don't. Your application has to remember the filled in values and when 
presenting page1.php again it pre-populates the form with the 'remembered' 
values. The easiest way to remember the values is to use sessions.

Or alternatively you can one of the dozens of form validation classes that are 
available (www.phpclasses.org et al) to do the donkey work for you.

 I have a form that has a field in which the user is supposed to enter an

 ereg(^#)  does not work.  I am getting the error Warning: Wrong
 parameter count for ereg()

Jeez, at least make a token effort. See the manual entry for ereg()? It 
expects at least 2 parameters. Surely you can count past one? And surely the 
error message is explicit enough?

 Can someone give me a working ereg for this??  :)

No. But here's a snippet using preg_match():

  $input_string = #ircchannel;
  if (preg_match(/^#[a-zA-Z]+/, $input_string) {
echo Looks like an irc channel; }
  else {
echo Go check your input;
  }

What the above checks for is:

1) A line that begins with a hash (#)
2) Followed by one or more letters (non case-sensitive)
3) And nothing else

I don't know what letters/symbols/characters constitute a valid IRC channel so 
you may have to season the above to taste.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: textarea with multiple rows and mysql insert

2003-10-13 Thread Jason End
Here's an example.
In the first textbox of the form I write in the
following link:
http:///x/servlet/xAuthGW/wt.enterprise.URLProcessor/URLTemplateAction?u8oid=OR%3Awt.folder.SubFolder%3A492999action=ObjProps

And in the second box:
These are comments that I am writing in the textarea
that is available for these.

The resulting insert statement is:
INSERT into aplicaciones set id = NULL, Nombre =
AUTOCAD, Version = 2000, Modulo = , Fabricante =
AUTODESK, mansycontratos =
http:///x/servlet/xAuthGW/;,
comentarios = These are comments that I am writing in
the textar, cat_id = 1

   Jason,
   
   Are you using the get or post form method?? If
 the
   method isn't
   specified, browser will default to Get. The get
   method is will truncate
   the data from the browser, whereas the Post
 method
   will allow alot more.
   
   Consider posting back the html for the form. 
   
   The other possiblity is that you have carriage
   returns comming back from
   the form that you need to parse out.

If you mean when you do an HTTP upload, then no, you cannot get the path info. 
All you get is the file name. This is for security reasons.

The only standard way in which a website, ie (B), can get a file from a web

 (B) has a ftpserver included.
 If the way over ftp is the wrong way, you can also tell me how to do

(B) which is running the script is in effect the ftp client, it needs to be

1) You've got your source-file and destination-file mixed up.
2) You've already chdir into 'html' so destination-file so be just '$bild' and 
not '$dstdir./.$bild'. Unless your directory structure really is 
'html/html/'

if the statement if (isset($id)) doesn't probably it because 
register_globals has been turned off maybe?

How about if (isset($_GET[id])) ?
And if you want to keep the flexibility of getting the variable from 
anywhere, you can always use if ((isset($_GET[id]))||(isset($id)))--that 
would cover query strings, and the case of any possible includes.

 I figured it out! The register_globals is turned

 That's a wrong one. To solve this, I do the
 following (a naive one):
 $tid=$_GET[id];
 $SQLstr=SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$tid;

 And it's OK.

You can do something like:

  $SQLstr=SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id={$_GET['id']};

But for security you should always check the integrity of any input that you 
receive from the user.

For example, in this case you should verify that $_GET['id'] is indeed an 
integer and nothing else.

No.

 I don't know this because it is a comma delimited file, not a space
 delimited. The function description says:

 The length parameter must be greater than the longest line to be found in
 the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). 

So set it to [max line length]+10.

 I removed this block where I do an fgets() and then I get all rows
 displayed. Also, I was mistaken about total rows. There are 123 and I only
 display 62, which is half, so I'm thinking something is being incremented
 twice instead of once. 

Exactly, that block of code below is reading in another line. What is it's 
purpose anyway? What are you trying to achieve?

 What should I set the length at?:

 $buffer = fgets($handle,300);
  $buffer = str_replace(\,,$buffer);

I doubt whether they have anything to do with it (although it's nice to blame

I think some move is being made to make the commands consistent across the

match those of the mysql functions.

 A page to choose the databases

 I pass the database name, table name, and the records to change to the

[PHP-DB] how many rows updated

2003-09-11 Thread Jason S Motes
When updating or deleting a table is there anyway to find out how many 
rows where affected using php??

I am using Postgresql 7.2 and php 4.2

using pgsql from the the command line I enter this query
 update teststock set item_num ='something' where item_num ='something';
and it returns
 UPDATE someamount
in php if i use
  $result = pg_exec($conn, $query);
it just returns whether or not the query failed.
I tried this, but it fails because no object was returned from pg_exec()
$data = pg_fetch_object ($result, 0);
foreach ($data as $varName=$value) {
  print $varName nbsp; $value br;
}

 Basically, I want to know if it is possible to make PHP aware of

It depends on how you've installed PHP. If it was installed from a distro's 
RPM then maybe there's no need to recompile -- ask on your relevant distro's 
mailing list.

If using Windows then check out:

 http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?page=ibp_beginners_php

(which you could have found by googling for  firebird php)

 If it is not possible, I'd like to know what option to pass PHP at
 configure time when the Firebird installation is on a remote machine. Ie,
 the machine where PHP is running *does not* have Firebird installed.

As Firebird is based on Interbase, I believe you can use PHP's Interbase 
interface: manual  InterBase functions, for installation instructions.

Re: [PHP-DB] Database Design Issue

2003-08-14 Thread Jason Lange




Yes, songs do span shows. However, the list of songs for each weeks
show starts out as a *.asc (same a *.txt) space-separated file. This
gets uploaded via a PHP file that formats each row and inserts it into
the database. That's why even though I know there will be duplication
it appears (to me at least) I'll just have to live with it. I have no
guarentee that the songs will appear in the *exact same way* every time
either (you really don't want to know why -- I'm getting a migrain just
thinking about it). I've attached an example of the incoming files I
have to deal with for your reference.

Also, I'm just designing the website I will have no part in the
everyday maintenance of the website -- except when the maintainer gets
stuck. :)

Here's my question. I'm creating a website for a weekly radio show. One
of the items I would like to store in the database is the list of songs
played in each show (there's normally between 20-25 songs per show), and
the songs will be displayed by show. Should I put all of the songs in a
single table with a field denoting what show they're from, or should I
create a separate table for each weeks show and just request that entire
table? I'm looking at this from both a long-term performance and

The first question is if songs can span multiple shows? If so, you need 3
tables. One to hold the songs, each song getting a unique id. One table to
hold the shows, each show getting a unique id, and finally a third table
that relates the two. You'd list the song_id and the show_id that it's used
in. Add in a row for each song used in each show.

If a song is not shared across shows, then you could go with two tables. A
show table where each show gets a unique id and a song table with a column
that has a show_id in it relating it to what show it's used in.

You'd be better off with the first method, though, because sooner or later
down the line there's going to be a song shared, I imagine. :)

I think a better question to be asking is *how* they did this. Knowing that 
would stand you in good stead to prevent it from happenning in the future.

Depending on the ability of the 'hacker' the logs may be a source of info.

 I guess my priority os to recover
 the lost data... is this possible...?

See what you can salvage from the directory where MySQL keeps the databases. 
If there's nothing there then your only salvation are in the backups.

 I'm working off a RAQ4, hosted by NetBenefit...

 Any advise, ideas are gonna be apperciated at this point.
 I've got backups of alot of the databases, but several were created in the
 past few weeks, and I didn't back them up yet...
 I know I know... stupid man I am, but I'll slap myself later, for now... a
 solution is required

1) The RAQs and its siblings seems to be notoriously insecure. You really need 
to keep up with any new security updates.

2) A default installation of MySQL is also insecure in that you do not need a 
password to use the root account.

As with all break-ins or suspected break-ins, to be on the safe side you 
should recover any data that you can (making sure that they haven't been 
tainted) then format the hard-disk (or better still, put in a new hard-disk, 
keeping the old one for analysis) and re-install.
