[PHP] Mysql php Load Data Infiles
While I think this is primarily a mysql syntax problem I have asked on the mysql forum but not got a reply. I am trying using php to set up a system for loading a new data base using the Load Data Infile statement. I could not get it to work properly with php so I thought I would try some command line test. Does anyone know the loaction of a suitable php script that would handle a list of files and tables for loading into a database (preferably doing an initial dummy run using temporary tables with an error report). If not when I get this wretched syntax issue solved I guess I might have one available fairly soon. Here are my notes: This exercise was a test in preparation for a plan to use Load Data Infile for initallising a new database comprising over 80 tables. The database currently has no data. The first field is auto-increment. What am I doing wrong here? If I cannot do it using Load Data Infile what alternatives would you suggest? ___ Here is mysql command line dialogue on a win XP development machine: Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

[PHP] MySql connection error on win XP for script that works on Freebsd 5.3
I have just installed MySql on Win XP and am attempting to run a php script to create some databases. The script works fine on FreeBSD 5.3 running mysql-client-5.0.11 and mysql-server-5.0.11. MySQL has been installed on windows XP using a download of mysql-5.0.13-rc-win32.zip. Test.php reports php version 4.3.1.0 and is installed with ZendStudio which I am currently testing on win XP as I cannot yet get any version of Zend later than 3.x to run on FreeBSD. The username for mysql is 10 chars with a password of 8 chars and is able to login successfully from the command line. However when attempting to login via the script I get the following error: Error while connecting to MySQL: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client. I have searched the mysql website and located an article which shows reference to this error indicating that the client may need to be upgraded but as I am using the mysql-5.0.13-rc-win32.zip package I am cautious about assuming that that is the actual cause. I am curious whether it is something to do with the php version. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I wonder if someone has a list of the files that should be deleted bearing in mind I have just removed an installation of php 4.3.10 and php 5.0.5.

After weeks of searching and trying to install Payflow Pro on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3, I finally was able to make it work. Naturally I was very
hesitant to recompile my php configuration, but with a little help from
redhat, and about 3 hours, it was installed. I'll try to outline the steps as
best I can.
I'm running RedHat EL 3.0, php-4.3.2, apache 2.0.46.
Anyone running EL 3 is a member of the redhat network, so use up2date to
download the latest php source rpm.
up2date --get-source php (this will download the source rpm
into /var/spool/up2date)
rpm -i /var/spool/up2date/php-4.3.2 (or whatever version of php it gives you,
installing this source rpm will not affect your current php configuration)
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp php.spec (unpack the sources and apply patches)
I had a couple of dependency requirements (imap-devel, unixODBC-devel; yours
may vary; up2date 'whatever you need'; if you had to install dependant rpms,
run rpmbuild -bp php.spec again)
vi php.spec (edit the spec file and include the --with-pfpro)
on line 285 or 286, you'll see where the ./configure command is generated.
Adjust any defaults as necessary, I didn't need to, and add
--with-pfpro=[DIR]. Make sure to place this outside the if's, I placed mine
before ifarch(%ix86).
If you followed the instructions above, and unpacked pfpro into /usr/local,
you would add
--with-pfpro=--with-pfpro=/usr/local/verisign/payflowpro/sunsparc, where my
version was linuxrh9. I'm running modssl, my config was
--with-pfpro=shared,/usr/local.
Make sure that you have followed php.net's instructions and copied pfpro.h and
libpfpro.so to the appropriate directories.
Now that we've added our config line, build the rpm. You will get a compile
error if you have the incorrect version of the SDK. RedHat EL users should
have downloaded the SDK for RedHat 9.x.
rpmbuild -bb php.spec (this will take awhile)
**According to documentation on redhat, new versions of rpm added a feature
which causes a build termination if it finds files not intended to be
included in the package. Obviously, since we added pfpro, it wasn't intended
to be there. To get around this do the follow:
Edit your php.spec file (same one from earlier), and include
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0
I added this as the second line under the comments, mine looks like this:
%{!?oracle:%define oracle 0}
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0
This will allow the build to continue with these unpackaged files.
5 minutes later, if no errors were returned, it should that it build a whole
bunch of rpms, all related to php. Now lets install them.
Redhat recommeded uninstalling existing rpms and installing these new ones, as
opposed to using rpm -Uvh. So, uninstall the cooresponding php rpms. If it
complains about dependancies, use --nodeps. Now, install rpm -i your new
ones. You can install them all on the same line if you'd like.
rpm -i php-4.x.x. php-imap-4.x. php-mysql-4.x.x
Done! Now to quote Sean from below:
5) Copy /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-X.X.X/build-apache/modules/pfpro.so
to /usr/lib/php4.
6) Add extension=pfpro.so to /etc/php.d/pfpro.ini using the other .ini files
as templates.
Restart apache, and you should now be able to invoke the Payflow Pro
functions!

[PHP] PHP on FreeBSD - Compiler Bugs and Option selection
Hi ale I just wanted to check you had received OK the two compiler errors that I reported for /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions. The first error was apparently caused by make expecting libmagic in an incorrect path for FreeBSD 5.3. Once a copy was placed in the correct path compilation resumed. The second error seems also to be caused by an inability to find requisite files for wddx. ext/xml/expat_compat.h ext/xml/php As a result of compiling php5 I began to wonder whether it would be helpful to users if : drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 2 07:06 php5-cli drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 9 18:00 php5-extensions drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 28 10:06 php_doc were more integrated as choices within make for php5. I would personally find it helpful if all the build options for php could be in an editable file for sysadmins to define a repeatable unattended build from all available build options. A closer integration of the subsidiary php5 ports into the php5 make would facilitate this process. I do not not how welcome these proposals might be or how easy it would be to make the changes but would be interested to know what others think. Norberto Meijome [EMAIL PROTECTED] made a very interesting suggestion that he uses on his servers to achieve the above goal. He uses /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for that purpose but my preference would be to have a method that is particular to php and does not lead to an overloading of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. I have copied Norbeto's example below: ** Quote*** -if you want to avoid having to choose by hand what you really -want( or have it preconfigured so all you have to do is press OK, then -use something like /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf which will be read by -portinstall (sysutils/port-maintenance-tools/) -my relevant sections for my servers are: - - 'php4-*' =- [ - 'WITH_APACHE2=true', - 'WITHOUT_DEBUG=true', - 'WITH_BCMATH=true', - 'WITH_BZ2=true', - 'WITHOUT_CALENDAR=true', - 'WITH_CRACK=true', - 'WITH_CTYPE=true', - 'WITHOUT_CURL=true', - 'WITH_DBA=true', - 'WITHOUT_DBASE=true', - 'WITHOUT_DBX=true', - 'WITHOUT_DIO=true', - 'WITHOUT_DOMXML=true', - 'WITHOUT_EXIF=true', - 'WITHOUT_FILEINFO=true', - 'WITHOUT_FILEPRO=true', - 'WITHOUT_FRIBIDI=true', - 'WITH_FTP=true', - 'WITH_GD=true', - 'WITHOUT_GETTEXT=true', - 'WITHOUT_GMP=true', - 'WITHOUT_ICONV=true', - 'WITHOUT_IMAGICK=true', - 'WITHOUT_IMAP=true', - 'WITHOUT_INTERBASE=true', - 'WITHOUT_LDAP=true', - 'WITH_MBSTRING=true', - 'WITHOUT_MCAL=true', - 'WITH_MCRYPT=true', - 'WITHOUT_MCVE=true', - 'WITH_MHASH=true', - 'WITHOUT_MING=true', - 'WITHOUT_MNOGOSEARCH=true', - 'WITHOUT_MSSQL=true', - 'WITH_MYSQL=true', - 'WITHOUT_NCURSES=true', - 'WITHOUT_ODBC=true', - 'WITHOUT_OPENSSL=true', - 'WITHOUT_ORACLE=true', - 'WITH_OVERLOAD=true', - 'WITHOUT_PANDA=true', - 'WITHOUT_PCNTL=true', - 'WITH_PCRE=true', - 'WITHOUT_PDF=true', - 'WITHOUT_PGSQL=true', - 'WITH_POSIX=true', - 'WITHOUT_PSPELL=true', - 'WITHOUT_READLINE=true', - 'WITHOUT_RECODE=true', - 'WITH_SESSION=true', - 'WITH_SHMOP=true', - 'WITHOUT_SNMP=true', - 'WITHOUT_SOCKETS=true', - 'WITHOUT_SYBASE_CT=true', - 'WITH_SYSVMSG=true', - 'WITH_SYSVSEM=true', - 'WITH_SYSVSHM=true', - 'WITH_TOKENIZER=true', - 'WITHOUT_WDDX=true', - 'WITH_XML=true', - 'WITHOUT_XMLRPC=true', - 'WITH_XSLT=true', - 'WITHOUT_YAZ=true', - 'WITHOUT_YP=true', - 'WITH_ZIP=true', - 'WITH_ZLIB=true', - ], - 'php4-dba-*' =- [ - 'WITH_CDB=true', - 'WITH_DB4=true', - 'WITH_GDBM=true', - 'WITH_INIFILE=true', - 'WITH_FLATFILE=true', - ], - 'php4-gd-*' =- [ - 'WITH_T1LIB=true', - 'WITH_TRUETYPE=true', - 'WITHOUT_JIS=true', - 'WITH_LZW=true', - ], - 'php4-mbstring-*' =- [ - 'WITH_REGEX=true', - ], *End Quote*** I also wonder why the Makefile, by default, uses the --disable-all option in the Makefile with no option to remove it.

I am more of a system administrator than a programmer although I do have considerable experience of some programming languages. Questions: 1. As I am new to php I would appreciated if someone could help me locate a tutorial which not only describes what is in the configuration files (which the distributed configuration files do quite well) but also, some explanations that might be understood by a php neophyte, plus guidance and detailed examples on one might choose on option over another in different circumstances.

Sure -- I did look at those - my feeling is that they are high on providing the facts but low on providing meaning, context and interpretation. Mathematically it is easy to understand x+y=z but if you do not know or cannot know the value attributable to x or y or z the formula is *** useless. In my view one needs to distinquish between documentation (which records what something does in technical terms) and the qualities of a manual which explains which might refer to the documentation as it seeks to explain how and why one should choose to apply the options defined in the documentation. The php.net references the general documentation stanfard is superb but I found it to be somewhat lacking in its ability to meet the expectations of a manual. However, unless I missed a salient link, I did not find the brief section on installation and configuration very useful. Incidentally the book by Luke Welling Laura Thomson, PHP and MySQL web Development seemed to promisong in fulfilling the manual role for programming PHP. I was however disappointed because but the general standard throughout the book does not seem to have been carried through to the Appendix on installation and configuration.
