[PHP-DB] Session with php and mysql problem!
Hello all...
i have the following script which checks a username and pass from a db and
if it is correct it starts a session..
The problem is that when i go to next page the session is gone.!!
What must i do to start the session and keep it permanent until the uses
logs off???
$handle=mysql_connect("localhost","root","s");
$db = mysql_select_db("cosmonaut",$handle);
$auth=mysql_query("select * from users where user_name='$username' and
user_pass='$password'",$handle);
$match=mysql_num_rows($auth);
if ($match 0)
{
session_start();
$userid = session_id();
echo $userid;
include("index.php");
}
else
{
echo "wrong pass";
}

[PHP-DB] Re: Session with php and mysql problem!
I'm still at the start of trying to get to grips with PHP so these
comments should be treated with a healthy scepticism.
Most of the examples I have seen and used involving sessions will start
the session at the start of the script. If you want to continue checking
on a particular user's name you can then pass a variable using
session_register in order to track the user's name during the session.
In your example this might involve placing the start_session at the
start of the script and then carrying out a separate check to see if the
user is a valid user. You can then control the program flow on
subsequent sessions by again checking if the user is valid and
presenting appropriate messages to them if they are not.
Hope this helps,
Michael Egan

[PHP-DB] Re: Application dev w/ PHP MySql
i was really gonna try and answer this for you then it struck me that you've got quite a way to go in terms of your position relating to database design and so on. so... i'd sugest you read up a bit on the logic of the way you are trying to implement your database and theink about the logical flow of information from your tech guys. for example, you've got cust_key, cust_fname, cust_lname in the same row of the db where cust_key, presumabely, uniquely identifies each customer. this would be stored elsewhere in the database and will be replicated for no reason. i'd think seriously about the job the db is performing and then design it from the bottom up instead of hacking out a simple db that will cause you problems in the future. don't mean to sound like an ass but if you put the work in at first then you'll reap the rewards later. or something :-) Steve Robert Barish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 01073014001600.22120@mail">news:01073014001600.22120@mail... Hello I am having to learn php and mysql, at the sametime and with a time constraint. So I am hoping I can have a lending hand from all the coding gurus out there. Let my give you a little back ground. I the owner of an ISP tech support outsourcing company and am trying to develop a call note system where the techs input to mysql notes on the call the teched and then have our clients (isps) use and authenicated site to do a search view the browser on a particuliar user's call note history. At the present time I am working on the Insertion part of the php script. I have created a data base in mysql and have been able to populate the data base.When the tech hits the submit button and the data is inserted into the customer table, with cust_key, tech_key, cust_fname, cust_lname, cust_username, cust_timestamp columns and into table issues with issue_key, issue_type, issue_entry, issue_date columns. I have this part working great. There is one more table in need to populate when the tech submits a call note and this is labled cust_issue_association. The cust_issue_association table has the following columns cust_key and issue_key. This table is being use to tie in the tables for a search. My problem is I have no idea on how to populate this table. When a call note is submitted into the customer table the cust_key is auto_incremented and in the issues table the issue_key is auto incremented. So the million dollar question that is driving me crazy with is how do I get these two keys to be inserted into cust_issue_association table when the call note is submitted. I have attached what I have done so far (please excuse the readabiltiy and basicness of the code this is my first time doing this) I hope I have described this clearly enough. Of course, I will give created in the code and on the appropriate html page, where create is do for the people who help me. Thank you ahead of time for all your inputs.

[PHP-DB] Re: Warning Page Expired
Edit your php.ini file and find the line that starts with session.cache_limiter. Replace it so that the line says: session.cache_limiter = ; Fix for Caching Problems If you leave the value blank (the ; Fix for part is just a comment), the browsers will handle their own caching and will eliminate this error. Occasionally you will get a page that is cached and you will need to refresh in order to see the updated contents, but for the most part, it works. Another solution is simply to use GET methods in your forms instead of POST. The whole page expired error is supposed to be a safety feature to keep people from seeing private, posted information. The GET method puts all the information in the query string, so there's nothing to hide, so caching doesn't become a problem. - Jonathan Olinux O [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

[PHP-DB] Random question selection in PHP w/ MySQL backend.
I'm having a bit of trouble creating a random question selector. I'm using PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 3.23.36 on Windows 98 SE. I've tried several different solutions, but none work at all. What i need to do is select 10 questions from a database (db: vpt, table: questions), and make sure that the same question doesn't appear twice. The questions need to appear in a random order each time the script is loaded. It sounds simple enough, but i just can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions??

Re: [PHP-DB] Random question selection in PHP w/ MySQL backend.
Adam, I'm what I would call a novice to PHP and databases in general, however if I had to do what you're doing, I might do the following... Add a field to the table that contains your questions called displayed and have it be an enum of Yes/No True/False, etc... In your script, you'd then query for all the questions that haven't already been displayed. Then get a random one of those (plenty of randomizing functions in PHP I believe). Display it, mark it as displayed in the db... Next time, it won't even get returned in the query. I don't know if you have to do this on a per-user basis or what. If so, you will probably have to create a session table and keep track of the questions each user has viewed... Hope this gets you started... Cheers!

Voila - they get ten questions at random, in random order;
when they submit the form, you get the question id back as
the array key and the answer as the value.
Hope that helps ;-)
