Re: [PHP] Problem with inserting values into database through php
The best way IMHO, to debug problems like this is to echo out your
insert query to the screen and not actually run the query, or run it and
make sure you use:
$sql = INSERT INTO employees (first,last,address,position) VALUES
('$first','$last','$address','$position');
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die(Invalid query: $sql);
(This is always good practice anyways, especially if the page depends
upon that query's execution)
Anyhow, echo out the query: $sql to the screen and then run it against
your actual MySQL database and see how it responds? Chances are there
is some error there, and you'll get more meaningful feedback from the
database backend.

Hi,
I´m having a weird problem with getting my forms work within

and I can make SQL queries through php, but I´m unable to insert
any data into it through forms.
This is an example file that I´m using

I have set the database in working order according to the manual, but after
I enter some writing into the
text fields and press submit: It refreshes the page and doesn't add any
information into the db.
I recon that the problem might be within the $php_self command, for I got
all the previous php/mySQL tutorials
working, but when this command appeared...problems started...or more
accurate word would be: nothing
happened.
I have phpMyAdmin 2.3.0 running on my apache server and it can send/receive
data from the db normally, so the problem shouldn't
be in the db server or in the php, so it´s in me or in the code :) I have
read through all the FAQ:s and manuals that I have found and I still
can´t understand what is the problem in this one!

Re: [PHP] MySQL and Array's REALLY simple question but I'm notGETTING it .. Ugh..
Well, when you run the command:
$sql2_results = mysql_fetch_array($top_level);
The first time, it automatically increments the result...
so you fetch the data bu do nothing with it...
so when you get to your loop, you are already at the second entry in
your database..
So, remove the first instance of that and see how it works..

Re: [PHP] MySQL and Array's REALLY simple question but I'm not GETTING it .. Ugh..
It doesn't matter what variables you assign to fetch the data, one of
the effects of mysql_fetch_array() is to increment the database result
variable. It does this without you even knowing it. check out the
mysql_data_seek() function to see how you can make the adjustments
yourself. i.e. mysql_data_seek($result, 0) would set you back at the
beginning, record one.

then in the form so:

?php
$query = select * from categories;
$result = run_query($query);
while($row = fetch_array($result)
{
echo option value=$row[0]$row[1]/option;

free_result($result)

This would send to the form action page the numerical representation of

Re: [PHP] Troubles Inserting into MYSQL
Shoudn't it be:
if ($update_type == update_Williams) {
mysql_query(INSERT INTO events_Williams ('user', 'detaildesc', 'index',
'reference', 'date_added') VALUES
('$cookiewho','$add_Williams','','$row_num','$last_update'), $sql4)
or print mysql_error();
}
You need the '(' and ')' in your query to group VALUES
(And what's with all the escaping with '\'? They don't appear to be
needed and make it look very cluttered, i.e. not very readable.

Since it is the same every time it is like doing string compares on the same encrypted value so it authenticates, of course this is also the vulnerability of md5.

I *think* the mysql config file is named: my.cnf
so run a slocate or find on your system to see where it is and look at
the line:
socket =
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
You can also go into your php.ini file and check out the line:
mysql.default_socket =
and perhaps setting that to where it is located in your /tmp directory
will do the trick...

As a quick follow up...
the command:
$ php -i | grep mysql
will spit out info on how php thinks mysql is set up currently...
one of the items is:
MYSQL_SOCKET = ...
So just make sure that is in tune with where the socket really is running

Greetins all,
In my form I have an area where the user enters in the payment amount:
input type=Text value= size=20 maxlength=16 name=payment_amount
This is all fine and dandy and works as generically as it can. BUT, the
problem is that I need to make sure the user didn't fat finger any of the
numbers. For instance, in my generic text field the user types 600 in the
payment amount and clicks submit.
This works and the user is charged $600. But, come to find out the user
meant to enter 6.00 not 600. Can I add a check using PHP to force the user
to put in the dollar AND cents? This way if a number such as 600 is entered
and the user hits save, the check will notice there isn't a .00 on the end
and prompt the user for more information.
Could I incorporate something like:
if ($payment_amount != number_format($payment_amount, 2)) {
error here
}
Or, do you think I would be better off using two text areas? One for the
dollar value and one for the cents?
Or, do you think I would be better off trying to find some kind of
javascript function that would check the value upon submit?
Any help is appreciated.
Dan
If you want it squarely on the client side, then use javascript. There
are easy functions to split a text string (like php's explode).
Then you can split on the '.' and then do some logical stuff like the
cents is between 00 and 99, and anything else you think necessary.
If there are no cents, then you can issue a confirmation box. So, my
vote is to handle it within javascript, as it should not be too difficult.

Really depends on how you display the calendar... if you go day by day building the table cells, then it should be easy enough because you should already have the date you are working with... so a query like select count(*) from events where date='date' and if count is 0 then display it differently.

[PHP] Capturing System output
Hello All..
Had this problem in the past, and always programmed around it, but
wondering if there is an easier way.
Good Example:
Creating a setup for connecting to a mysql database. Want to do
something simple to make sure they have entered a valid
username/password for the database.
So, the idea is something like:
$rc = exec(mysql -u $user -p{$pass}, $output);
The problem is one error, the stderr does not go to the output array,
but rather to the screen.
Previously I would redirect the stderr to a file, and then evaluate the
contents of the file, but is there an easier way to get this into the
PHP variable with no risk of having the output make it through to the
screen?
Thanks

Of course this is an overly simplistic example but you get the idea.
Are there pros and cons to both sides or should I just avoid the latter

Pros: potentially more readable code.
Cons: Wasted energy typing unnecessary lines of code.
Really I would say it comes down to coder preference.
(and why would you avoid the latter all together? Testing a boolean may
be cleaner, but setting the boolean still relies on the value of $value,
so if that value was fubar then the boolean would be too.)

Re: [PHP] +AFs-OT+AF0- Working with version control
Chris W. Parker wrote: Hello, This is off topic but I wanted to get the list member's opinions on the subject as it will probably benefit someone else. Currently I don't use version control at all. What I do instead is have one directory that contains my development website and one directory that contains the live website which I do not directly modify. When I need to fix something or add a new feature I edit the development site and copy the files that I've changed. Sometimes I will start on a new feature before I am able to finish a previous one. This is a major problem when the features overlap and I have to edit the same file for both features. Even if I finish one of the features I cannot publish the files because the other feature is not ready yet. What I'm looking to the list for is how I can overcome this through version control. What I'm thinking I'd do is create a base level (say v1.0) that I then create a branch for every new feature and then merge those things together. The issue I see in this case is the merging. Is this a sound strategy or should I just realize that I can't publish until all current features enhancements are completed? Thanks, Chris. What you are currently doing would be similar if you were using source control, only you would have the ability to revert to previous functions, and have better logging for changes to your files So, I would advocate using some source control, like subversion to make life a little more orderly. As for your problem... of course it is always *ideal* to complete one branch/feature before you start a new branch/feature, but often times we do not live in *ideal* worlds, so merging becomes a necessary evil. source control / configuration management will not really solve this problem, but it will provide better tools to attack the problem. So, I would sit down and google for the Subversion Red Book and read through some of that to get your started. As I said before you will find some of the method similar to what you are currently doing, it will just document your journey a little better. -B -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

thank you for any input into the subject that you may have.
Pick up a general book on OOA/D development. IMHO, the advantage of OO
is to modularize your code with encapsulation(buzz word). Basically
meaning that as long as your interface to an object does not change, it
does not matter to the *outside world* what you do behind the scenes.
This is especially beneficial for abstracting layers (as someone else
pointed out with the DB abstraction), as well as working within teams of
developers.
Done right it enhances all the *ilities* of software development, done
wrong it is a horrific mess of spaghetti!
Another advantage could be design *might* be easier because UML exists
as a nicely featured modeling language which maps very nicely to classes
in OO.
When all is said and done it is another tool in software development.
It has its purposes and when wielded by persons who know how best to use
it, it is quite a good method. But be your own judge, and read some
about it!
Another *real world* example might be taking the DB abstraction a little
further.
Represent all your tables as classes. This gives you the ability to
properly scrub, validate data before assigning it, allows you to
automatically persist the data (if you choose) when the class goes out
of scope, gives easy access of data to people who need not concern
themselves with the DB schema, etc..
Really a nice tool for this case, especially when you inherit a schema
which is less the obvious ;-)

Perhaps something like this: (not sure how this would play with the

If you can guarantee that a record (order_id) will appear in both
tables, a simple join will work...
but if a record in table A exists but not in table B, a join will not
return that record, which is why there is a left outer join.
select o.order_id, o.order_date, o.order_status, uf.file_name
from orders o left outer join uploaded_files uf on uf.order_id = o.order_id
order by o.order_id desc
Not sure if mysql supports this..??
select * from (select o.order_id, o.order_date, o.order_status, uf.file_name

If you are trying to automate backups of you database, set up a

have a shell script that dumps my databases, zips them and then
sends them
via FTP to a remote server. This is automatically run every 12 hours by
cron.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crontab for more info.

hi Edward,
yes I know of CRONtabs but wont this still leave us with the user
permission of running mysqldump? because essentially it will still be a
PHP file to run the shell command to create the dump file?
thanks
No, cron will typically run as root. You don't need to involve PHP.
It looks to me as if you are trying to use web scripting (PHP) to do the
sysadmin on your server, for which other methods are more suitable.
Edward
#1. You can run mysqldump with the same flags a the mysql command
line... i.e. -u=user --password=password
#2. Crons run as the user that owns the crontab, not always root.
#3. Edward is right, PHP is a wonderful tool, not sure the tool was
meant to do the types of things you are trying to do...unless you could
fill us in with more details of what the purpose is, then we might be
able to give more insight into how.

Just happens that MD5 is one that's been focused on and more complicated systems would require exponentially more variables in what you'd have to enter. For instance, you could do this with PGP, but I'm guessing you'd have to have at least two pass phrases and how many things go into generating the public and private keys, plus the message/file that was encrypted.

[PHP] Oracle Execute Function
Hello All,
I have this Oracle function, and within my code I call it like this:
$sql = BEGIN :result := my_funtion_name('$parm1', $parm2, null, null,
null); END;;
$stmt = $db-parse($sql);
$rc = null;
ocibindbyname($stmt, :result, $rc);
$db-execute($stmt, $sql);
The problem is that the execute function spits back an error/warning
message, but the Oracle function properly executes and the data is in
the Database.
The execute function looks like this:
(This function enters the conditional where ii executes the die() function)
public function execute($stmt, $query = ) {
if( $this-trans)
$result = @ociexecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
else
$result = @ociexecute($stmt);
if (!$result ) {
$error = ocierror($this-link);
$this-report('Invalid Statement: ' . $stmt
.'('.$query.')'. ' '
. htmlentities($error['message']));
die('Invalid Statement: ' . $stmt
.'('.$query.')'. ' ' . htmlentities($error['message']));
}
return $result;
}
I use this wrapper class for many things, and the execute function for
many things, without any problems.
Now, this is an initial run at calling Oracle functions within PHP.
Any words of wisdom as to what could be causing this problem, or any
other insight?
TIA

Re: [PHP] Displaying Results on different rows in tables
Dan Shirah wrote:
Hello all,
I am trying to pull data and then loop through the multiple results
display
in seperate rows.
My database contains several tables which are all tied together by the
credit_card_id. After running the query, it ties the unique record
together
by matching the credit_card_id in both tables. How would I go about
displaying the results of this query in a table with a single row for
each
unique record?
Each row of the result will have 5 columns: Request ID, Date/Time
Entered,
Status, Payment Type, Last Processed By.
If I assign the results of the query to variables (Such as $id =
$row['credit_card_id'];) how would I display that data?
Would it be something like this:
foreach($row as $data)
{
echo table
tr
tda href=$item-link$id/a/td
/tr;
echo tr
td$dateTime/td
/tr
/table;
echo tr td$Status/td
/tr
/table;
}
Below is the code I have so far.
?php
$database = database;
$host = host;
$user = username;
$pass = password;
// Connect to the datbase
$connection = mssql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ('server
connection failed');
$database = mssql_select_db($database, $connection) or die ('DB
selection failed');
// Query the table and load all of the records into an array.
$sql = SELECT
child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id,
credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id,
date_request_received
FROM child_support_payment_request,
credit_card_payment_request
WHERE child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id =
credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id;
First of all, if you are joining on the credit_card_id, you only need to
select one of them. So your query would be:
select child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id,
table_name.date_request_received
from child_support_payment_request, credit_card_payment_request
where child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id =
credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id
$result = mssql_query($sql) or die(mssql_error());
while ($row=mssql_fetch_array($result));
echo table;
while ($row = mssql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['credit_card_id'];
$dateTime = $row['date_request_received'];
echo trtd$id/tdtd$dateTime/td/tr;
}
echo /table;
$id = $row['credit_card_id'];
$dateTime = $row['date_request_received'];

Re: [PHP] Magic quotes good or Bad?
IMHO, it really depends on a couple of things... 1). how you use it and 2). How much control you want... If you have a single point of entry for database actions, like a class that mimics the database structure and handles updates, inserts, deletes, then it makes sense to turn them off to give you the control, as with the single point of entry you can easily add/strip slashes. But if your design allows for many points of entry it becomes problematic to make sure you are adding/stripping slashes in all the appropriate areas. So, I would say that magic_quotes is a tool, it has some limitations, but can also be helpful. So it really depends on the wielder of the tool if it should be used or not. -Brad Angelo Zanetti wrote: Hi guys. I've just read an article that gives a good explanation about escaping single quote characters with slashes, the author then says that magic_quotes_gpc can do this for you if enabled on your server, he then he also mentions how if your magic_quotes_gpc are not turned on/enabled that you could use addslashes() with the same result and when retrieving info from the database that we need to use stripslashes(). All seems hunky dory but then he concludes that magic_quotes_gpc that they are evil as we have less control over the information we receive. Which does make sense. So should i avoid magic_quotes_gpc all together? my local development server has them enabled and when testing the input of a textfield that does a select query I input 'hello' (including single quotes) and it works really well with the single quotes escaped. But my live server has them disabled and therefore the single quotes break the SQL statement. So on my live server should I enable magic_quotes_gpc or should I use addslashes() and stripslashes()?

Re: [PHP] Completing forms offline with PHP/MySQL
If your users are using Windows, then something like http://www.hypervisual.com/winbinder/ might be good on the user side, as you can bundle the PHP binary and everything else needed into one executable (with some work of course) And then they can create a file formatted to your specifications to upload sometime later. Or you can use some other UI like QT to create the XML document on the client side which would be cross-platform. The only way to re-use what you have in an offline web environment would be like Jay said to install the required software on the client's / user's computers, and is that really something that is maintainable? The key question: is the additional work required really beneficial?

However, I've been asked to look in the possibility of the teams completing the form offline, and uploading when they have access to a connection. It looks like I might be able offer something like Microsoft InfoPath forms (better recommendations?) to generate an XML file, and then use a PHP file to upload the file into the database. Additionally, I could also do with this process uploading a number of other files (e.g. images, text files) to the server.

I searched offline forms on Google and came up with several third party solutions, YMMV. The second part: making the network aware that a machine has connected to it and performing the proper steps or make the machine aware that it has connected to the network and have it initiate the process.

Re: [PHP] Handling Large Select Boxes
Thanks for the responses to this... The AJAX thing would probably not work as this is a critical piece to the UI, so even though the form would load faster, the users would still really need to wait for the select options to come through before they could actually do any *work* on the page. The problems are horrific data, in that it has not been cleaned and validated, and there are not linkages, or layers to the data either, so there is literally no way to sub-select, which of course is poor planning by people before me. So, before I can fix the real problem, my stop gap solution was to load the list exactly once, as well as loading the contents into JS, therefore the users can search through to narrow down the list, and then using JS they can select an option and place in the the form element they are dealing with. Load time are much better, but still not great. I guess this is what happens when people get a ton of data before they properly planned to get that much data -Brad Brad Ciszewski wrote: Perhaps try implementing some AJAX on the page.

You're right...
This is the wonders of OOP. Some people see this as nice because only
your class has direct access to set your variables...so inside your
'set' function you can do validation, formatting, etc... to make sure
you are setting the variable to a proper value
Some people like the control, others think it is too much work with
little gain, this is largely a political issue though, so we won't get
into it too much.
Basically if you want to use classes you have to play by the rules of
OOP. To set and get a member variable within a class you need to define
a function to do so.

And that is what I said in the (toilet)paper, that there will be (emphasis on the eventuality, not on the present actuality) a time that PHP will become the old stuff because it did not evolve with the philosophies. It's true that a language that doesn't evolve with the market will die, but still you can expect us to follow any new trend because they believe it's the way to salvation. Try to think first if the new philosophies can be properly applied to this market, if they can bring a proper solution to our problems (if not they will become a new problem and we don't want that). Anyway, programming languages have proved to live longer that one could ever expect. Before attending to PHP's funeral, I'm pretty sure we'll be burying another die harder language, like the C language, in a very emotional ceremony (I can almost see it, someone will cry loudly: I'll miss using your precompiler macros!). These philosophies are new and I can understand thinking that it's hype, but it's important to recognize it as legitimate. Agile Development (and the broader term Web 2.0) is, right now, the bleeding edge of development, and I and many others see it as the future of development philosophies. Don't say it's good, prove it! All I can see in Web 2.0 is those guys are making more money than us, let's copy them! Those guys are exploring uncharted area in web development and they're more worried in making their software work rather than worrying if the philosophy is appropiate or not. Still, marketing rules say no mather how unappropiate your company's philosophy is, it's the best. Of course they will say Web 2.0 is the best, is what they're doing and they don't want anyone to think they aren't giving the clients the best there is. And now we have to deal with even crazier request from our clients, like making an AJAX application in a week that supports all imaginable browsers in the market. They really believe that AJAX is a fucking walk in the park! AJAX is a fricking cocktail of death! Bring out the spaghetti code and let us feast on an eternal reengeneering cycle! I'm not saying that Rasmus can't see, but that he will easily choose to stay with how he sees the forest – understandable as I choose to stay with what I see, but I think he has a lot invested in his view and may not open up as easily. Stop blaming the poor guy! He only made a tool he needed and was kind enough to share it with the world. If you want to blame someone for what direction PHP has taken, blame us! That's the whole point of PHP being open source, isn't it? All the current problems in PHP are directly or indirectly caused by whining developers and their extravagant requests. Magic quotes are bad? Well, teach those bastards to properly quote their sql's strings! You think that currently PHP is being lead to unavoidable doom? By all means, be my guest and make PHP++, for all I care. The code it's there. To Stut: Honestly, I'd love to see basic variables be objects, as models of real world data with properties for the data such as a $number-length or $word-as_array() giving you letters. Have you stop to think what the efficiency cost would be to make everything an object? We're already suffering much to avoid the waiting 2.5 second it's way too much cutline (they say we can't do real time applications) and you want to keep adding functionality that will deteriorate this? I love the way basic types are handled by PHP, I specially love PHP arrays, if you touch them, I fucking kill you! I know that PHP is a functional language, and secondly, an OO language, but I think that you can blend these things better and have the OO brought to the forefront a bit more. Yes, I'm a fan of OO, but I know that many people aren't and don't use PHP's OO (and don't when it's appropriate). But I know you can integrate OO without having to force the functional programmers to give up their way. Have you been attending to your CS lessons? PHP is an *IMPERATIVE* language, and secondly, that the language provides OOP features doesn't make it an OO language. Maybe you have chosen your language wrongly, you should try JSP or any other Java based web server technology. PS: I think you have the terms wrong. What you're calling functional programming may be what is usually known as procedural programming. This is just ONE thing that could make PHP better and allow for more

Re: [PHP] Avoiding user refresh of pages with forms
Is there a way to key off of the data inserted? Like some unique value or set of values that you can do a quick lookup before you insert/update/delete again... Or you could venture into an AJAX style of submission keyed off of a button click then a refresh to a 'report' page, in which case no POST variables are actually passed to the report page, so refreshing it will just present the same data... -Brad Jeff wrote: Is there a way to prevent a re-posting of the form data when a user pushes the refresh button on the browser? I have a page that has a form to enter credit's or debit's to a user account. The top of the page displays the users account history and at the bottom is a form to add an adjustment. I just had a situation where a user came in complaining that the database is out of control every time I REFRESH the page the credit I put in gets added again and again!! He also claimed he was getting no warning message about that which was of course false, he just didn't read it. In any event, I need to make this more user proof.

Re: [PHP] Echo a value from an arrays position
Will this also work with an associative array? If this is what he is

I put this together though and it works, not sure if it is the *best*
way though...
?php
$colors =
array('white'='#ff','black'='#00','blue'='#ff');
$count = 0;
foreach( $colors as $k = $v) {
$count++;
if( $count == 2 )
echo \$colors[$k] = $v.\n;
}

Like position 2 in the array and not the key name.

I hate to say this, but you really need to RTFM http://www.php.net/array
To get a value from position 2 in an array you use $arrayName[1] (all
array elements start numbering at 0, unless you do something to the
array to change it).

Re: [PHP] Handling Large Check Box Data
Well, listing all the values in a comma separated list in the DB would be fairly simple to parse, check out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php As far as what is better depends on many things... 1). Maintaining the code, might be better to have each check box have its own field, will certainly cut down on development/debugging. 2). Performance...don't know if it is faster for PHP to parse through a comma separated list or parse through a larger DB record set. I guess if this is really important to you, you might want to attempt both ways to see on performance. -Brad Rahul S. Johari wrote: Ave, I¹m a little confused as to what¹s the best way to handle this. I have a form which, apart from lots of other fields, has a set of 25 30 Check Boxes, each of which asks the user for some kind of information which the user can check or leave unchecked. The information each Check Box collects will also appear in the ³Listing² for users to view once the user has completed submitted the form. Furthermore, there is an Advanced Search also available to users which will also provide the same 25 - 30 check boxes which define the search criteria. I¹m not sure what¹s the best, most efficient way to do this. The tedious way to do this is to make 30 fields in the mySQL database, and if the check box is checked, the data goes into the corresponding field... And similarly listing the data from the field if field is non-empty And similarly including each field in the Search options. I want suggestions for a better/faster way to do this. I did think about creating a single field and storing the data from each Œchecked¹ check box as comma separated values in the single field.

Re: [PHP] storing single and double quote in MySQL
Looks good to me, just make sure you use: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php if you have to dump that information back to the users. (you might want to check out: addslashes() to add the slashes before your DB insert, just to keep those things under your command) -Brad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi to all! After the form is submitted, some fields are filled with single and/or double quote info (like: 1'2x2'4, or sky's blue, or cool stuff). I validate what I got using mysql_real_escape_string() and then store the result in MySQL. And, it will be stored as:1\'2\x2\'4\, and sky\'s blue, and \cool\ stuff. Is this correct way or correct way will be to convert quotes in html entities? If yes, means have to use htmlentities($Size, ENT_QUOTES)?

after these very helpfull comments, I rad (again) Shiflett's (and few

to show them on screen.
Later found it's not good and start using mysql_real_escae_string() to
add
to DB and stripslashe() to show on screen.
If you have to stripslashes() when you pull data out of the db, you're
doing something wrong (like running with magic_quotes* on, therefore
double escaping your data).
But, also, I thought, mysql_real_escape_string() is filter for
everything, e.g. lets have three links (add, delete, edit) as
mysql_real_escape_string() *only* escapes the data which needs to be
escaped for your particular db version.
a href=index.php?action=addrec_id=$rec_idAdd new/a
a href=index.php?action=editrec_id=$rec_idEdit/a
a href=index.php?action=deleterec_id=$rec_idDelete/a
and was doing this way:
#index.php
?php
if($_GET['action'])
{
$action = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['action']);
$rec_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['rec_id']);
switch($action)
{
case 'add':
// add new record
break;
case 'edit':
// edit record
break;
case 'delete':
// delete record
break;
}
}
?
it means that $action I will never store in DB, neither show on screen.
I
then wrong to
$action = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['action']);
or I should
$action = htmlentities($_GET['action']);
or
$action = $_GET['action'];
is just fine?
If you're not going to display it or insert it...if all you're doing is
checking the value of it, then you don't need to modify it.
