Re: [PHP-DB] Passwords
I have created a user login/registration page. As of now I am using a MySQL database to store the info of the user. To validate the user I also have the password stored in the same DB. I was wondering if there is a way that I can store the password in the DB so that it is encrypted or something. Just so it is not in plain text. Of course. Check out any of MySQL's encryption functions. Make sure that you use the same function and parameters for both the registration and the login or else the login will never work.

Re: [PHP-DB] Connecting to two MySQL databases
I had this problem a while ago, when you try to create the second connection to the database with the same login credentials, i.e username and password. If mysql / php detect there is a connection already established with those details it will return that specfic resouce and not create an new connection. The only way around this is to create a new username + password for this database and use those details to generate the second connection. Actually, the mysql_connect() function takes an optional fourth argument indicating whether or not a new connection should be made. If omitted, then PHP will do exactly what you are describing. If set, then PHP will create a new connection, even if the same username/ password/host combination is being used.

Re: [PHP-DB] Connecting to two MySQL databases
I am working on an application that requires me to connect to two
MySQL databases both hosted on the same server.
I have an existing set of class files I created to handle the db
connection to the main database. To connect to the second database,
I duplicated my db class files and renamed them, and also renamed
the functions etc. but what is happening, is that the calls made to
the second database connection seem to get made against the first
database. So that I get errors like: dbname.tablename was not found
(or something like that).
What is the best practice for this? I need to have two open db
connections for just two little things in my application.
In my opinion, rather than making two different classes that do the
same thing, I would make one class and then create two instances of
that class in your script. For this to work, you'll need to make the
db host, username, password, and database name be values that are
passed to the constructor when the object is created. Assuming you
have that, then your code would be something like...
$dbc1 = new dbconn('localhost', 'test', 'test', 'mydb');
$dbc2 = new dbconn('localhost', 'test', 'test', 'otherdb');
Then invocations of $dbc1-retrieveData() would to go the one
database whereas $dbc2-retrieveData() would go to the other. I could
be missing something, of course, but that's my first thought.
Also, just to be safe, you could use the new link argument in
mysql_connect() (the 4th argument) to insure a new, separate connection.
Hope that helps,
Larry

Is there any values to this function? I'm looking over some code where this is a done a bunch of time and I don't see any value to it. Maybe I'm naive about the internals but... I'm not certain as to what exactly you are asking, but prior to PHP 4.1, I believe (possibly 4.2), session_register() is how one added elements to the session.

Re: [PHP-DB] Batch queries in the same mysql_query()
I'm trying to execute multiple queries using mysql_query() function and I'm getting an error to check SQL syntax. My PHP code looks like: You cannot execute multiple queries at once using mysql_query(). If you are using PHP 5.x and MySQL 4.1.x, there are new functions, one of which does allow for multiple queries to be executed in one function call. Maybe the problem resides on the character ;, but this queries run without problems when typed on mysql command-line tool. So, if it works on mysql command line, why it doesn't work using mysql_query() ? Because the mysql client and PHP's mysql_query() functions are two different things that behave somewhat differently.

Re: [PHP-DB] mac and mysql
Mac users, please forgive such a Windows-centric question, but I need your help. And you can educate me in the process. I am helping a student of mine set up a development environment with php, mysql, and a webserver, and she uses a Mac. Are there any installation issues unique to mac that I should warn her about? It makes a HUGE difference whether we're talking about OS 9 or OS X (10). I don't know if MySQL even runs on OS 9 and PHP does, but by purchasing the $500 WebTen. They both run on Mac OS X easily and installers are freely available (www.mysql.com, www.entropy.ch, www.serverlogistics.com). Can you recommend a simple web server - she is brand new to server-side work and I am trying to make this as painless as possible. Usually I recommend that students use Xitami, but I don't believe it comes in a Mac flavor. Does the Mac OS come with a server, such as IIS on Windows? Does Apache work well with Mac? Is there anything simpler? Mac OS X has Apache built in. The PHP installer available at www.entropy.ch works with that installation. Again, for OS 9, WebTen is the only solution I know of that can handle PHP. And here's a question I've never thought about. If she installs MySQL on a Mac, and she wants to admin the server through a command line --- does Mac have a command line tool to work with? Typically, when you think command line you think of the old dos prompt. What does the Mac have that will give us command line access?
