Re: [PHP-DB] Upload multiple files?
Very simple...
Call you files being uplaoded file1, file2, fileX in the HTML form..
[html]
form method=post action=uploadprocess.php enctype=multipart/form-data
input type=file name=file1 size=20
input type=file name=file2 size=20
input type=file name=file3 size=20
input type=submit name=submit value=submit
/form
[/html]
Then process with code like this:
[code]
$STARTFILE = 1;
$ONFILE = file . $STARTFILE;
while (isset($HTTP_POST_FILES[$ONFILE])) {
// Try!
$SrcPathFile = $HTTP_POST_FILES[$ONFILE][tmp_name];
$SrcFileType = $HTTP_POST_FILES[$ONFILE][type];
$DstFileName = $HTTP_POST_FILES[$ONFILE][name];
// File Processing
if (file_exists($SrcPathFile)) {
// handle it
}
$STARTFILE ++;
$ONFILE = file . $STARTFILE;
}
[/code]
You may want to update the $HTTP_POST_FILES - $_FILES depending on PHP
version, etc...

Hi there everyone,
I have created a newsletter system where you can do lots of nice things, one of the
things is to be able to upload your images for the newsletter via the interface,
unfortunately you have to do them 1 at a time. Is it possible to be able to select
multiple images in 1 go?
The image info is stored in a DB and the images themselves are on the server, this
way I can do lots of nice things to manage the images that have been uploaded
without having to access the filesystem too much (I love PHP and MySQL, makes it so
easy).
Thanks everyone.

Re: [PHP-DB] Browser timing out.
Look at using server side compression, mod_Gzip or similar, PHP4.something also has compression handler built in..

Re: [PHP-DB] storing images in a table or in a directory
I store alot in databases.. when you deal with filesystem there can be issues with multiple webservers (need replication using something like rsync, etc).. I've used the db/filesystem link method before aswell but typically go with database nowdays.. You do have to query each time to get images out, be sure to look at sending correct cache headers to ensure clients don't keep coming back, or implement a caching system so that the webserver doesn't have to go back to the database for a query each time an image is requested..

Re: [PHP-DB] sending data through FTP in PHP
FTP is used to tranfer files, typically not an array of data.. Depending what you mean.. From the sounds of things you need a protocol gateway instead of using FTP.. Unless you are loading that array of data into a file on the remote server at which point something will slurp it up and wait for the next cycle.. There are lots of built in FTP functions in PHP that are easy to use.. make sure you compiled PHP with --enable-ftp ..

Re: [PHP-DB] speeing up query and display...
A bit offtopic .. But 3000 X any kind of size = a good amount of rendered
html data to be transmitted.. I'd make sure your using some kind of
compression module on the server like mod_gzip ... that would cut down on
download time dramatically (Especially for low bandwidth users)
3000 rows isn't much and the actual query/build time is probably nothing
compared to the transmission time..

$old_manufacturer = $row['manufacturer'];

RE: [PHP-DB] mssql_bind problem....
I found this old piece of code.. not sure if it will still work:
function calcExc($baseid, $targetid, $amount){
$sql = sp_curr_convert $amount, $baseid, $targetid;
$res = sybase_query($sql);
$obj = sybase_fetch_object($res);
return $obj-AMOUNT;
}
I don't remember what the code was inside the stored procedure.. but I'm
assuming it must have defined AMOUNT .. calced and returned it..
You might also try using mssql_fetch_array .. and see what's returned in
0,1 positions in it..

Opens a text file with all the SQL commands you want to issue, and starts firing them off at the server 1 by 1... Once you create the database, you need to make sure: - might have to grant rights to it - change it to the current database for that connection, or disconnect and reconnect to desired database.
