Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions help needed !!!

2006-02-17 Thread Micah Stevens

Well, not much to go on, but I'd check variable scope, and register-globals. 
The latter being more likely as I can't see how the scope would change if 
you're just copying things over.

2) Page confirms data by SELECTing the data from the MySQL table and

3) If the user makes changes, it is UPDATEd in the MySQL table.

I hope this is clear.

Tristan,

yes, You are alternating between curly braces {} and parenethes ()
(spelling??). Also you forgot to the closing double quotes when
completeing the mysql_query statement.

You could also put the insert statement into a vairable and echo that to
the screen. That way if you can't see the error, paste the query text
into the mysql command line client.

See my alterations to you code below..

Eeek, didn't notice your brackets.  They're a bit messed up as well.  

mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (salutation, name, city) 
VALUES (\"".$_SESSION['salutation']."\", \"".$_SESSION['name']."\",

This MIGHT work :-)

In addition to what John suggested, I see you have switched from parens to
curly braces when you close your list of columns and list of values. AFAIK,
you need to use parens to contain those lists.

register_globals was turned off for security reasons. You are compromising

You create a temporary table just like you would any other...

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE table_name (id int, name varchar(20), ...
Or
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE table_name SELECT ... FROM other_table

After it's created, within the same script _only_ you can do regular
INSERTS, UPDATES, SELECTS, whatever...

If it's created from within your script, then you won't be able to see
if from the command line as the temporary table is specific to the
connection. The script and the command line are two different
connections and can't see each others temporary tables...

Well, the error message really says it all, it's just worded a bit opaquely!  
Basically, setting a cookie uses an HTTP header, and all HTTP headers have to be sent 
before your actual page content -- and the error message is saying that you can't send 
an HTTP header at line 10 of your script, because you started outputting your page

Same thing, but for a cache limiter header.

You need to re-order your script so that the header requests come before the start of 
real output.

Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions Vs DB Access

2002-11-25 Thread Andrey Hristov
 Quick hack for those who think that the MM handler is not stable
is to use the standard handler and the directory where the session files
will be to be mounted as tmpfs (even /tmp). This will give almost of the
MM's speed
without worrying whether MM is stable or not.

Well it depends. On Solaris /tmp/ is tmpfs which is memory

Don't forget that you can use the DB to store PHP Sessions as well, which
is faster than storing the sessions in /tmp on the file system.  If you
have well written SQL, you can have 5-30 queries per page, most of which
should return the data in under 1/100 of a second.

I was running a site doing 150 queries per second, serving 1M page views a
day.  That's about 13M DB queries per day at a rate of about 11-12 page
views per second.  All on a dual 800mhz and 1gb of memory on FreeBSD,
Apache, PHP and MySQL.

It can be done!

Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions Vs DB Access

2002-11-24 Thread Dave Smith
Chris,

I'm assuming you're running this thing on *nix.

Session variables are stored on the file system. PHP writes them out to 
/tmp, where it subsequently reads them upon request. The question is: 
How good at caching is your DB? If it can cache common select queries, 
then you are probably better using the DB (since file system caching is 
usually not that great). If your DB is busy with other things while the 
file system is relatively idle, maybe it'd be better to store them in 
sessions.

The only real way to know is to benchmark both methods. You could come 
up with some real quick code that implements both methods. Then, run 
ApacheBench (ab) or JMeter to test the performance. Be sure that you run 
the benchmark utility in such a way to use the session vars (ie, 
simulate a user login). During the tests, watch things like load average 
(top) and I/O activity (iostat).

Let us know which method works best for you. Scalability issues are so cool.

Hi there everyone,

I have a system I am programming, and each page needs to get various config

What I was wondering is, after the user has logged in successfully it
currently stores their email, name, address and a few other bits of data in
a session, would it also be a good idea to store other information in a
session at the very start when they login to ease DB access?  Are there
problems with having lots of data in a session?  Well when I say lots of
data, I mean things like font size, color, table images, background colors,
some normal text etc  nothing like an essay or anything, just about
30-50 different variables.

Just want to make sure it won't slow my system down by doing this, or would
it speed it up because of less DB access?

Thanks for your help

Re: [PHP-DB] SESSIONS

2002-11-01 Thread Peter Beckman
Do this instead:

$user = mysql_fetch_object($sql_result);

$_SESSION['user'] = $user;

Then, you can use stuff like:

print "{$_SESSION[user]->name}";
// or if register_globals is on
print "$user->name"; // which is nice because you don't have to {} the var or 
".$var[name]."

Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions and their function

2002-09-12 Thread nikos

You sould register sessions first, and if have been registered, are passing
with session_start() in each page at the top, before the  tag..

If you want to pass variables from a page to another, put them in the url:
test.php?var=3&name=george (e.g.)

Be sure that the page you refer is dynamic (.php)

My only thought is, where are you trying to start your session in
the frames?  Are you trying to start the session in the "hidden"
frame or in one of the visible frames?  If the attempt is in a
visible frame then there has already been headers sent to start the
"hidden" frame.

I also suppose that something is printed before Header() function. 
Suppose, that you have code:



I such a case NO BLANK characters are allowed after closing "?>"  in included "xxx" 
file. Newline is enough to produce an error, you have received.

RE: [PHP-DB] Sessions and Frames

2001-10-18 Thread Nally, Tyler G.

The manual says...

   Remember that the header() function must be called before any actual
output
   is sent, either by normal HTML tags blank lines in a file, or from PHP.
It is a
   very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions,
or another
   file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that will output
before
   header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML
file.

So, an example of what it's complaining about below leads me to
believe that you've already written some ouput to the browser which
effectively ends any possibility to do any HTTP HEADERS.

My guess is that something like this is happening


title of page


More HTML stuff here



... Whereas the following would be what  is acceptable ...




title of page

More HTML stuff here

Hi,
Every different page in a framset is loaded separatly so the only thing you
should be aware of is not to output anything before the session stuff.
Also you can use the output control functions lie ob_start - check the PHP

Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions ???

2001-05-02 Thread Joe Brown

For this operation there is dire need for session management.

And remember the default variable order EGPCS may cause you trouble if
you're sending a put variable across with the same name as a session
variable.  Session vars take presidence in the global scope.

http://localhost/forums/view.php?topicID=3

The session var $topicID will override this put variable.

$topicID=session var value //your 3 may not be here.
$HTTP_GET_VARS["topicID"]=3 //you can still find your 3 here.

Session variables are good for maintaining information from one page to the
next, avoiding the need for the client to keep sending the same information
over and over again.

In either event, I recommend useing a different session variable name than
the put variable's name, unless you use $HTTP_GET_VARS/$HTTP_SESSION_VARS
accordingly.

Dave,
What you need to do is make sure that the variable: $topidID is being set to a value 
first (before you register it you must get it from the table.  Once it is set you need 
to register it as you did BUT WITHOUT the $. So it will say:



Make sure that session_start is ALWAYS before any headers in your html page, BUT 
register does NOT have to be.  It can be declared anywhere in the page as long as you 
have set the value in it already.  Also, on every page that will ever access topidID

already been registered. HINT: if you want to change the value of topidID just set

Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions w/ Communicator 4.7 Problem

2001-04-19 Thread Johannes Janson

Hi,

> $test = "The session data was transferred.";
> echo "Click this link: test2.php";

change this to test2.php";

you need to specify a variable name first behind the ?. It worked
for me on NS 4.75

Re: [PHP-DB] sessions and page has expired warning

2001-04-16 Thread Aleksey Yarilovets

Hi!
I had exactly the same problem and i found the script that does the job.
At the begining of your script write this:

if ( $rd == 1 )
{
   $tmp_str_store = "var_list_str";

   session_register ( "$tmp_str_store" );
   $$tmp_str_store = "";

   foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $k => $v)


   if ( is_array ($$k) )
  foreach ( $$k as $ar_k=>$ar_v)
 $$tmp_str_store .= $k."[$ar_k]=".urlencode($ar_v)."&";
   else
  $$tmp_str_store .= $k . "=" . urlencode($v) . "&";
   }
   header ("Location: this_script_path?rd=2" );
   exit;
}
else
   if ( $rd == 2 )
  if ( isset($var_list_str) )
 parse_str($var_list_str);

in the HTML body write 

and vualya you will not get message like you describe NEVER!!!

By, Aleksey.

I am using sessions to store variables until all forms have been filled out.
at this point they are put into the db.
I would like to know how i can eliminate the problem that occurs when the
user presses the back button.  I receive a "warning, page has expired...
press refresh" I know that pressing refresh works fine, but some people do
not understand and get confused. How can i fix this?

thanks much

Re: [PHP-DB] sessions and page has expired warning

2001-04-12 Thread Phil Jackson

Here, I think you may be over - using session variables a bit...have not used them in 
php, as I have version 3, which doesn't support them.  However, by day I am an ASP 
developer, and article after article I read warns about session variables!  They are 
great, but can hog
memory, especially if you have many users concurrently, so I would use them sparingly, 
just when you have to.

The "back" button problem - here is where a session variable might be usefull, if you 
want to force a particular order of website traversal and not allow them to go back - 
when leaving, say page 1 - set a session variable $visitedPageOne = true
On the top of that page, first thing - check for the value of $visitedPageOne, if 
true, redirect to the next page, ect.

Could you briefly outline how you store variables using sessions until the forms are 
completed? Or point to a tutorial? thanx.
