[PHP-DB] Problem with dsn
I have installed on my computer :
Apache 1.3
Php 4.1.2
Postgresql
the rpm of odbc and the unixODBC.
I tried to connect to my database after done all configurations; I used
the function odbc_pconnect('name_of_my_database','','') and the system
gives me this error
Warning: SQL error: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not
found, and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in
/var/www/html/check_avviso2.php on line 5
Does any body knows as set the DSN and the driver?
Thanks a lot!

[PHP-DB] Need help getting record number off insert
I'm doing an insert and need to get the record number that is generated when the record in created. I'm accessing the database through ODBC. It's a DataFlex database and the driver i'm using is by Connex. I know that you can somehow insert a SQL statment inside an other statement. I was thinking if I could quesry the record inside the insert, then I could get the record number. I'm not sure how to do this though. I was also thinking that I might be able to get some info from the resourse identifier that is returned to PHP, but I don't know how to read it from an insert, odbc_result doesn't work. Anyone have any clue how I can do this? I'm kinda new to this, so please help me out. I'm running IIS/Win2k, PHP 4.2.1 using ODBC through Connex DataFlex driver 8.7. Thanks in advance for your help. - Anthony -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] php newbie
Hello all,
I am very new to php, in fact, this is my first attempt at a script. I have
just been following a tutorial online. Currently, I have a page where the
user types in a username and password, I then pass those parameters to this
page. This page connects to a main db, looks up their username and password
and then attempts to switch them to their own db but that doesn't seem to
work. When the page loads, I get errors because of my last select. It
tells me that the database users does not have a table grades which is true
but I wanted it to change to the grades db. How can I fix this?
Also-is there a way in php to display the results of a query into an
editable grid?
Thanks,
Eddie

Re: [PHP-DB] Need help getting record number off insert
Check the DataFlex docs and see if it has a function that returns this information, or if the ODBC driver has such a function. Record numbers are dangerously useless in most database operations - they get re-used and changed when records are deleted or repair/compress functions are executed. I hope you aren't planning to use this as foreign key, i.e. for referencing information in this table from another table.

RE: [PHP-DB] Problem with dsn
Gian,
You need to setup a DSN, not just pass the name of the database.
There are some examples in the iODBC HOWTO that may help:
http://www.iodbc.org/odbc-phpHOWTO.html
Pay attention to the section on putenv() and configure your DSN in the
odbc.ini file.

[PHP-DB] MySQL timestamp field update problem
Hi all, I have a table in MySQL with the following field: 'time_date' timestamp(14) NOT NULL When a record is inserted into the table, NULL is inserted into the time_date field giving me a normal timestamp with the time of the INSERT. That much is fine. However, it is necessary for me to update some of the records in my table. But whenever I send an UPDATE, the timestamp changes. I would like for the timestamp value to remain unchanged. Is there a way to do this without reading the old value of the timestamp and reinserting with my UPDATE query? Thanks. -Rob -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] PreCaching Db into Variables Slows it down?!??
Not yet a big specialist of PHP, but a rule that apply to nearly all server side scripting languages, use global variables as less as you can. They simplify your programer's life, but on a server that is serving a lot of concurent sessions, it eats all the performances and ressources. It does not explain your time problem, but it is my 2 cents before you place to much stuff in global variables. Thanks and regards, Patrick - Original Message - From: M1tch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 8:36 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] PreCaching Db into Variables Slows it down?!?? Grrr! Just spent ages (well, 2hours) on a precaching system for my PHP code that didn't work out! Hang on, I'll backtrack a bit... My website is using a php engine that picks at snippets of html from the database, and builds them up to form the page. A typical page may use 5 of these html snippets, each at maybe 5kb in size. I was sat thinking, looking at the debug-timer, and saw that the templates were one of the more time consuming aspects. So I said, I know, I'll save the db a bit, and at the start of the script, read all the templates that I'll need into a global variable, and call them from that. Simple, 5 db calls put into 1, and templates taken out of memory. So why, oh why, has the time taken actually increased??? Does anyone have sufficient working knowledge of PHP to give me a hint at why this has happened? Also, am I right in thinking that as the website hits increase, the db will be put under increasing pressure, so it serves off better being called only once instead of 5 times (Even though more data is taken out of it??). It's late, my eyes are blurring, and I'm annoyed. Very annoyed!
