Re: [PHP-DB] Why the sudden dis-interest?
What's with all the people suddenly wanting to unsubscribe? Did they suddenly become experts - no longer needing the community for support? Or did they suddenly discover they had actually enlisted for the influx of emails they were getting and wanted to stop them? Sure seems odd I'll bet they lost interest at some point, but never bothered figuring out how to unsubscribe, and then saw one man (OP of that thread) have the nerve to ask publicly, please unsubscribe me, and they thought, ah, perfect opportunity to jump on that bandwagon, and so save save from having to be the lone odd public case, AND not have to figure how to do it myself.

Re: [PHP-DB] Why $row is EMPTY

$genre = $row[name];
You may also consider revising the query to only grab the columns you need,
using an alias for at least genre.name.
$query = 'SELECT gig.gigName AS gig, venue.venueName AS venue, genre.name AS

Why do you have backtick-quotes around variant? Know that backticks are used
to call system commands. You also use these backticks in the ORDER BY lines.
My guess is the backticks are causing your problems.
Because they have to be there for MySQL to understand the query ? I
sometimes have field names where part of the name is the same as a command,
so without the ticks MySQL can't understand the queries. They're actually
in the documentation for MySQL, so I don't get why it would cause problems.
I always use them, and when I don't, I have problems. And the ORDER clause
DOESN'T WORK without them... ever, when I try to do without them and have
more than order clause.
$query .= AND make.makeID='.$_GET['make'].';
...
$query .= AND make.makeID0;
If make.makeID is a number field, why is the value in quotes for the cases
where $_GET['make'] is set? Same with socket.socketID a few lines down.
Because it doesn't matter, function-wise, if they're there or not for
numbers. And it's easier and faster to just put them in for everything,
than remembering to exclude them for numeric fields, and include them for
non-numeric. Yeah, it takes MySQL a little longer to have to convert from
text to number and such, but it's a microscopic amount of time.
Unrelated but very important, putting form variables (either GET or POST)
directly into a query is dangerous. If I create a copy of your form and fill
$_GET['search'] with eg: a%';DELETE * FROM model;SELECT * FROM model WHERE
something LIKE '%a
Your query will be like this: SELECT .. FROM WHERE AND
model.modelName LIKE '%a%';DELETE * FROM model;SELECT * FROM model WHERE
something LIKE '%a OR VARIANT
You can't trust incoming variables.
Yeah, I know ... this code was from before I learned how to check and
escape form fields though, just didn't put the error checking/correction
into the code yet ... haven't worked on this thing for like a year cuz I
got sick of it after putting the several hundred rows manually into the
database. I wrote this script originally before I knew anything about using
relational tables in SQL, I simply just changed the query code to use the
relations instead, and that's when it died.
That said, the query worked when being put directly into a MySQL prompt,
albeit extremely slow and far beyond what's normal. But I gave up trying to
fix it as I couldn't find the problem, so I dumped the entire query part of
the code, and started over with new code, from another script that uses the
same tables, but have never caused me any problems ... and it works now.
And almost 10 times faster than before. It can pull the entire 882 rows,
and generate the entire page, in 12 seconds. And all I did was use a
different query as basis, write completely new query generating code from
scratch, and add some functionality to the form ...
I haven't added the LIKE part to the new code, but I've changed the field
select boxes to multi-select instead of single-select, and the order
picking now lets you choose 3 orders, instead of just 1, so the code's a
bit different now. I know it looks like it does some double-checking of the
same thing, but it's to be damn sure it doesn't run the code parts unless
it has to. And the code works, and much, much faster than the old one. In
fact it takes it longer to ship the data over my network than it takes the
server to run the script. I don't get why it's so much faster now, as
there's very little difference in the query, but it does, and it's all I
really wanted. It still needs some fine-tuning to handle the addslashes and
such, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Why does this code/query hang time out ?
Hi gang
My CPU database (http://metalbunny.net/computers/cpudb.php) - still a work
in progress - used to be in 1 table, but for several reasons I've decided
it's better to split the data into multiple related tables. Obviously this
means I have to rewrite the query tool for it, and that's where my problem
lies. I've included the code I'm working with below, it's a little
different than the one for the above URL, as it uses my new faster
templates and relies more on the database than the old code did.
All the DB connect stuff is in the template, and I use MySQL. The new
version isn't available online, it's only on my local development server.
I'm pretty sure it's simply a coding problem, but for the life of me I
can't find anything that looks wrong ... but then I've been staring at it
for hours...
My problem came after I tried making it possible to pick 'all' as a search
option in make model, and now, nomatter whether it's set to all or not,
and nomatter what's in the search field, the code stalls and hangs ... and
in the last tries, Firefox ended up closing down ...
I tried putting athlon in the search box, and just leave everything on
default, and the generated query looks like this:
SELECT
make.makeID,makeName,model.modelID,modelName,fsb2,socket.socketID,socketName
,cpuID,variant,clock,multi,fsb,l1,l2,l3,vcore,vcache
FROM cpu_maker AS make,cpu_model AS model,cpu_socket AS socket,cpu_cpus AS
cpu WHERE make.makeID=model.makeID AND socket.socketID=model.socketID AND
cpu.modelID=model.modelID AND model.modelName LIKE '%athlon%' OR `variant`
LIKE '%athlon%' AND make.makeID0 AND socket.socketID0
Leaving the search box empty produces no result - it's an unintended
leftover from the old code that I haven't found a good way to get around
yet.
The code I'm working on looks like this (beware, it's rather long):
?php
// load dependencies
require('../include/sql.php');
// set data for template
$section = 'tools';
$style2 = 'cputables.css';
$title = 'CPU Database';
$menu = true;
// begin to build query string
$query = 'none';
$basequery = 'SELECT
make.makeID,makeName,model.modelID,modelName,fsb2,socket.socketID,socketName
,cpuID,variant,clock,multi,fsb,l1,l2,l3,vcore,vcache
FROM cpu_maker AS make,cpu_model AS model,cpu_socket AS
socket,cpu_cpus AS cpu
WHERE make.makeID=model.makeID AND
socket.socketID=model.socketID AND cpu.modelID=model.modelID';
// part 1, search parameters
if (! empty($_GET['search'])) {
$query = $basequery;
$setorder = true;
$query .= AND model.modelName LIKE '%.$_GET['search'].%';
$query .= OR `variant` LIKE '%.$_GET['search'].%';
if ($_GET['make'] != 'all') {
$query .= AND make.makeID='.$_GET['make'].';
} else {
$query .= AND make.makeID0;
}
if ($_GET['socket'] != 'all') {
$query .= AND socket.socketID='.$_GET['socket'].';
} else {
$query .= AND socket.socketID0;
}
$linkquery =
substr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],0,strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],
'order'));
}
// part 2, sort order

Does a table named round1 exist in your database? If so and you are using mysql 4.0.4 you will need to mention all tables referenced in the WHERE clause in the UPDATE clause. e.g. UPDATE tipping, round1 SET tipping.score = 3 WHERE round1.game1 = 'H' AND tipping.username = 'jerry' (assuming the score column you want to update is in the tipping table...) You almost certainly want to join the two tables as well but without knowing your database it is impossible for me to say how. If you are using an older mysql version what you want to do is probably impossible in one statement.

RE: [PHP-DB] Why does this conditional run, even if not true?
Bastien,
Thanks for your reply (and on the weekend, no less!).
I went back and looked and the function does return only YES or NO so that wasn't
the problem. What I found to be the problem was that my while loop inside the IF
clause was running no matter what. So what I did was put the while loop in it's own
function and voila! no more problems. PHP is funny. It seems to trip on it's own
shoestrings sometimes. (either that or I didn't RTFM) :)
Cheers,

$c is a field in an array I have loaded in from a text file. For some

RE: [PHP-DB] Why does this conditional run, even if not true?
hard to say without the code for the function...what is returned by the

returning YES? Maybe post the code for the function

Subject: [PHP-DB] Why does this conditional run, even if not true?
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 18:33:02 -0700 (PDT)
$c is a field in an array I have loaded in from a text file. For some
reason, none of the conditionals branch off and I end up printing out error
messages for every row in the text file. My brackets are balanced, I just
didn't include the bottom part:
If ($c==9)
{
If($fieldarray[3]==P)
{
$reject=validate($fieldarray[0],$c,$connectionSDWIS,
$fieldarray[$c],$c);
This If statement runs even if $reject = YES. Can't figure out why:
if ($reject==NO)
{
//
//loop through the rows in the this text file checking for Original
ID of Repeat
//
$handle2 = fopen ($uploadfileandpath,r);
while ($field2array = fgetcsv ($handle2, $userfile_size, ,))
{
If($field2array[2]!=$fieldarray[$c])
{
echo brField 2 of array 2 text row:
.$field2array[2].br;
echo brField 9 of array 1 text row:
.$fieldarray[$c].br;
$acceptOrReject = R;
$displayrows.=font color=redbSee below: Original Sample
ID for Repeat does not exist : .$fieldarray[$c]./b/fontbr;
}
} //end of while loop
fclose($handle2);
}//end of If($reject ==No)

Re: [PHP-DB] WHY need to query 2x to get results
Because you have already fetched one row before outputting the record
count. Therefore the row pointer is at the second record before you 'print
out'.
Try putting
mysql_data_seek($result,0);
in place of your second
$result = mysql_query($sql);
This should return the pointer to the first retreived record.
Hope that helps

RE: [PHP-DB] why script only updating one table? SOLVED
Hi Guys,
No need to think about this.
I solved the problem by putting both scripts under one check
If ($patternThreads || $patternFabrics)

Hi All,
I have a form that passes to select box array to my script. Select boxes
are named:
patternThreads[] and patternFabrics[]
My Script:
//Check to see if Threads were selected for this pattern
if ($patternThreads)
{
if (is_array($patternThreads))
{
$str_threads =
implode(,,$patternThreads);
}
else
{
$str_threads = $patternThreads;
}
$threadsArray = explode(,,$str_threads);
for ($i=0;$isizeof($threadsArray);$i++) {
//Grab a listing of all threads
currently in the DB
//associated with the pattern
$allthreadsQuery = db_query(SELECT id FROM kcs_patternthreads WHERE
pattern_index='$id' AND thread_index=.escapeValue($threadsArray[$i]));
//Does a record already exist?
if (db_numrows($allthreadsQuery) 1)
{
//No? Insert a new
record for each new keyword selected
db_query(INSERT INTO kcs_patternthreads
(id,pattern_index,thread_index,avail) VALUES
('','$id',.escapeValue($threadsArray[$i]).,'0'));
}
}
//Check to see if a thread was unchecked.
//If so, delete entry from DB
$db_threads1 = db_query(SELECT * FROM kcs_patternthreads WHERE
pattern_index='$id');
while($db_threads2 = db_fetch($db_threads1))
$db_threads[] = $db_threads2[thread_index];
foreach($db_threads AS $thread) {
if(!in_array($thread, $threadsArray))
db_query(DELETE FROM kcs_patternthreads WHERE pattern_index='$id' AND
thread_index='$thread');
}
}
//Check to see if fabrics were selected for this pattern
if ($patternFabrics)
{
if (is_array($patternFabrics))
{
$str_fabrics =
implode(,,$patternFabrics);
}
else
{
$str_fabrics = $patternFabrics;
}
$fabricsArray = explode(,,$str_fabrics);
for ($i=0;$isizeof($fabricsArray);$i++) {
//Grab a listing of all fabrics
currently in the DB
//associated with the pattern
$allfabricsQuery = db_query(SELECT id FROM kcs_patternfabrics WHERE
pattern_index='$id' AND fabric_index=.escapeValue($fabricsArray[$i]));
//Does a record already exist?
if (db_numrows($allfabricsQuery) 1)
{
//No? Insert a new

db_query(INSERT INTO kcs_patternfabrics

}
}
//Check to see if a fabric was unchecked.
//If so, delete entry from DB
$db_fabrics1 = db_query(SELECT * FROM kcs_patternfabrics WHERE
pattern_index='$id');
while($db_fabrics2 = db_fetch($db_fabrics1))
$db_fabrics[] = $db_fabrics2[fabric_index];
foreach($db_fabrics AS $fabric) {
if(!in_array($fabric, $fabricsArray))
db_query(DELETE FROM kcs_patternfabrics WHERE pattern_index='$id' AND
fabric_index='$fabric');
}
}
The scrip is supposed to see if either select box contains data and then
process the data.
Does anyone understand why it would be updating only one table at a time
and not both at the same time? It should be updating both at the same
time!
NOTE: if I remove the processing code for either select box it works
without problem. They just don't seem to work together.
Thanks!

RE: [PHP-DB] WHY need to query 2x to get results
It worked like a charm. (initially I was trying to use reset() guess it was
the wrong call)
One other thing, The 1st call was supposed to get the Column Headers and the
second to get the results. I thought they are independent of each other??
Guess not?

RE: [PHP-DB] why won't session_start() work?
Ryan,
you need to make all of those calls *before* ANY output has been sent by
your script, otherwise you can't send a header any more. so the TOP of a
script might look like
?php
session_start();
$signor = $monsieur + $madame;
session_register(signor);
// the rest of your code goes here
?
html
?php
// more PHP
?
if you get what I mean. you can actually do a lot of coding before you start
the session if you want, provided you haven't done any echo() print() or
anything that sends information as output.

I made this change:

$sql = select news_id, bulletin_subject from dbulletins;
elseif (isset($submit)):
$sql = delete from dbulletins where news_id = '$newsid';
endif;
but still get the same error. Shouldn't this fix the problem so now it

RE: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
Hmm it's not PHP functionality that makes html ugly as shown at validator.w3.org. It's the person's html/php coding ability to avoid coding mistakes. Basically, PHP gives functionality. A part of that functionality is for the php programmer to make correct HTML as output so the browser will render a page as output correctly. If the php programmer is a real bonehead and he/she can't instruct php to return good HTML that doesn't make a HTML validator from coughing up errors, it's not PHP's fault, it's the coders. I've been programming PHP for quite a while now and I can't think of a single regular thing in PHP that'd cause any browser (Netscape or IE) to hang. Any time that I've had problems, it's because I didn't know the limits of what I was coding to try and do something that is outside the possibilities.

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
Oh PHP itself isn't to blame at all, and I never intended to infer that. If you point the W3C validator at www.foxjet.com you will get a clean rating and that page is generated via PHP. Someone mentioned that they got errors in Netscape and I was just pointing out that for some reason the people who built www.php.net didn't make the page W3C compliant.

It's the person's html/php coding ability to avoid coding mistakes. Basically, PHP gives functionality. A part of that functionality is for the php programmer to make correct HTML as output so the browser will render a page as output correctly. If the php programmer is a real bonehead and he/she can't instruct php to return good HTML that doesn't make a HTML validator from coughing up errors, it's not PHP's fault, it's the coders.

RE: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
Personally I prefer Sybase on Linux, version 11_0_3 is free for production use and easy to install. Sybase 11_0_3 is still a very powerful DBMS although a bit dated by now, Sybase just released version 12.5. Why everyone is using MySQL I don't know, could it be that mod_php is compiled with MySQL support? MySQL is free and there is a lot of support from the community since so many are using it. How would one go about making a mod_php with Sybase support also?

The main reasons are possibly later on its drawbacks - basically, its main attraction is the ease of use, as it's so simple! MySQL and PHP fit together so well and for people just learning scripting with databases, there's not much that's as easy to pick up quickly and produce basic database driven websites with. Obviously due to this, it's actually got no massive depth in terms of stored procedures (you can't), and won't be as effective or useful for running massive, complex sites that attract millions of visitors (something like SQL server would probably be better) but for most websites, it's free, it's easy, and it does the job! -Original Message- From: søren eriksen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 November 2001 20:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP Hi everybody I'm writing a synopsis about PHP and mySQL.

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
Sure, the big guys run ASP, but its common knowledge to stay aay from that =) Actually, the reaosn I brought it up is cuz I'm sure they have some pretty big databases, for whatever they use it for, and wellanything that's gonna support a huge DB without crashing is a plus in my book =)I tried to host some php sites on my Win2k computer, and it worked out well..until people actually started visiting the site =) Thus, great for testing, bad for hosting. =) I do use it though to build databases. I have a number of different types of search engine spiders that index sites, and I find it easier to do it here than on my php web host. =) I just realized, I could talk about PHP and MySQL all day...or until my fingers fall off... so I'll end this here =) Lars B.

Stored procedures is missing in mySQL correct but is scheduled with the exiting launch of the mySQL 4 family. mySQL has it's drawbacks, but main force is it's performance, for certain tasks also with quite large datasets (few million rows) I had mySQL outperform major players as Microsoft SQL Server 7 and Oracle8i. I sadly never had my hands on PostgreSQL yet. Again, it all comes down to make the optimal site for the job, not the hardest technological. To revert a saying, why jump the fence where it is the highest ? (thereby not saying we gotta jump where it is lowest, but where it is appropriate to the task).

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
I just remembered, the only bad thing I can think of about MySQL... their website locks up Netscape =) I recently installed MySQL4 dev on one of the Win2k computers and it seems to work well...I havent stress-tested it much, or do anything complex with it (I'm still a beginner anyways), but I invite anyone else to try =) 65.7.204.217 - root/no password - the computer nor MySQL gets used for anything else, so go nuts with it! I'm kinda curious anyways to see what people do to/with it. oh yeah, phpmyadmin is on there at http://65.7.204.217:81/sql/ =) Lars B.

I sadly never had my hands on PostgreSQL yet. Again, it all comes down to make the optimal site for the job, not the hardest technological. To revert a saying, why jump the fence where it is the highest ? (thereby not saying we gotta jump where it is lowest, but where it is appropriate to the task). So, with experience and knowledge from major sites running daily thousands of sessions and millions of pageviews I know mySQL is capable of the trick, and with the mySQL 4 coming out, I for one is awaiting it with anticipation.

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
I use PHP/MySQL for a few reasons.
1) Ease of Use - I am a Computer Science student and a Web Programmer. As
such have been exposed to a wide variety of programming languages and
environments. PHP/MySQL is one of the easiest to work with and learn, and
is THE easiest to do Web related things with (and yes, I have used and am
including ASP in that statement).
2) Availability - By this I mean not only that both PHP and MySQL are free
(which is a big factor for us starving student types), but that they setup
very easily on a variety of platforms. This means I can test scripts on a
copy of the MySQL DB from my Linux Server on my windows box before uploading
them.
3) Support - Both PHP and MySQL have very good Manuals which are very easily
accessable (both online and downloadable). In addition, I have received
extremely valuable help from the PHP mailling lists on both PHP and MySQL
questions. In most cases I have gotten faster and better responses than I
get from professors at school (who I am asking things concerning their
class...not PHP =P ) who I am paying to teach me. That alone is quite a
strong arguement.
4) Good Balance between Flexibility and Readability - In PERL they have a
saying There's More Than One Way To Do It. I think this is a good
philosophy, but PERL takes this to more of an extreme than I like (this is
not to say that this extreme is not right for some people). When I read
through a 50 line program in a language that I am fairly skilled at I
shouldn't have to refer to the manual more than say a dozen times...right?
In Perl I often find myself having to refer to manuals a dozen times for two
or three lines! For example:
perl -we '$_ = q ?4a75737420616e6f74686572205065726c204861636b65720as?;??;
for (??;(??)x??;??)
{??;s;(..)s?;qq ?print chr 0x$1 and \161 ss?;excess;??}'
Any idea what that one does? Without running it? Paste it into a
terminal... it should run as is (does on my Linux box with PERL 5 anyway).
On the other hand, having to write in languages where you have strict types
(You want to treat a variable as an int and then as a string?!?!?!?) and
very structured design is just as distasteful to me. PHP strikes a very
good balance between the two even when working with MySQL (I won't paste any
of the kludge needed to interface with CGI and DB in other languages... but
if you have some free time look some of these programs up).

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
I wrote this a few month ago for the db comparaison. It's simple and you can
easily add to it:
http://zc8.com/zc8/ZC8news/shownews.php?articleid=571
As for PHP my reasons are:
* No need to typecast which makes it easier to code.
* You can have multi-dimensional multi-cast arrays which in many case can do
instead of objects.
* It's nothing to learn if you already know a modular language (pascal, c,
java...).
* It types easily within your html code and it is extremelly readable
(although you can put some effort into making it hard to read).
* No need to compile.
* It's open source
* You can compile it with Apache and with your specs.
* Many interesting module available (like Ming)
* It's very portable.
* It's widely present on web server.
* It has easy communications with databases, ftp, remote ip files, mail...
* It has great support and online reference.
* It is very well maintained.
* Lot's of sample code on the web to look at.
And I probably forget a lot

Re: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP
I mostly agree, although I prefer PostgreSQL for the transactions, better row locking, and server side cursors. It also does better with lotsa users (if the data isn't just used for the web, this is important). I have used many languages for this stuff, and the one with the best balance of functionality, extensibility, and ease of use is PHP (I have used CF, ASP, Miva/HTMLScript, PERL, C, COBOL, Shell also) BTW, COBOL on the web is weird. ASP is the worst of them all.
