Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL novice: database not updating ... LONG
Three things I see:
1. You seem to be assigning hard-coded values to u_mange_users, and "0" ,
as it is last, will always win. I think, I alsway have to mess with them a
bit. That's why checking your SQL is important.
2. You are embedding a semi-colon in SQL statements. That's not necessary.
3. Have you echoed the SQL statement to see if it is what you expect? Add
"echo $query;" to print the query out to your browser. If you can, check it
at the MySQL command line.
Hope this helps - Miles

looks like this:

RE: [PHP-DB] md5
I know there is an issue about encrypting an already encrypted
string, or encrypting something twice. I believe it is against the law in
the US for some algorithms (like MD5). They [they] have to be able to crack
your stuff.
Maybe someone can confirm?
How does this relate to your problem? Well maybe md5 thinks your
string has already been encrypted.

[PHP-DB] Solid Database Installation
There have been a number of mails about the SQLParamData error when starting Apache after installing the solid database installation. Here is a list of the actions we had to take to get solid working correctly with PHP 4.04pl1 I hope it saves some time since it cost us a lot ! Solid version is the current linux version 3.5 with glibc2 In the include directlry of solid sqlunix.h change #include wcstr.h to #include stdlib.h Seems like the call to wcstr.h is an old call. The compilation will then work. In the solid lib directory make symlinks like this: ln s socl2x35.a libsocl2x35.a ln s socl2x35.so libsocl2x35.so The standard installation doesnt include these. Not 100% sure they are really needed but we got linker errors. Finally put the path to those libs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or edit /etc/ld.so.conf (dont forget to run ldconfig after). Now the PHP problem. After solving these problems you get the SQLParamData error when loading apache. Seems like there is a script error in ./configure There is a test in this file for the existence of the solid files after which there are several echo statements if there is a problem (you can pretty much search for these in the file). On the last echo statement the "else" clause is on the same line and is ignored. Unfortunately the else clause contains the linker statements and is ignored. Hence the error. Putting the else on a new line fixes the problem. You can see if you have this problem when you run configure. You may get the message "Finding Solid Library ..." but no error and nothing after the dots. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] Selecting number of news items on frontpage
Hey, If you're using Mysql to store the items, you could use the Limit statement to limit the number of items displayed. If you're using the file system it'd probably be a little more difficult, but not impossible. For example, if the news items were stored in a text file with one entry per line, you could just use file() to convert the file to an array and then loop 7 times--grabbing the first 7 elements (or news items) of the array.

Re: [PHP-DB] Selecting number of news items on frontpage
Matthew, Do you want to be told how, or want to read an interesting article on just this, including PHP script to build your archives. It's one of the early PHP tutorials -- try a search on "php movie database". I adapted code from that for my own archive, although I run a shell script, logged in as root, to actually make the directory and copy the files. That has mostly to do with security, although it could probably be overcome by having the archive directory owned by whatever name the webserver runs as. Miles PS Ah, just found it: http://www.webreview.com/pub/2000/02/11/php/index.html That will take you to their archive. Good luck!! PPS The shell script just prompts for a directory name and creates the directory, then copies all files from the web site root into the newly created directory. A second script publishes the new files. Have fun!!! At 04:13 PM 2/28/01 +, Matthew Cothier wrote: I have a homepage which has a news headline system.

Re: [PHP-DB] Selecting number of news items on frontpage
Matthew, My MySQL syntax is a little rusty. But if you define tables as type "MYISAM" and implement a primary key like this "nArticleKey integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key" you will have a steadily incrementing count on your articles, as you add them, with no intervention. You could then issue as select statement like " select * from articles limit 7 order by nArticleKey descending" (maybe it should be "top" instead of "limit", check your MySLQ syntax) and feed those to the front page. Store your lowest of the retrieved article numbers, in $lownum, then for the archive, "select * from articles where nArticleKey $lownum descending". Wrangling the results out to the page, etc. I leave to you. Maybe you've done all of this already and I'm just wasting keystrokes? Let me know how it goes, I will go have a look at the page.

It's one of the early PHP tutorials -- try a search on "php movie database". I adapted code from that for my own archive, although I run a shell script, logged in as root, to actually make the directory and copy the files. That has mostly to do with security, although it could probably be overcome by having the archive directory owned by whatever name the webserver runs as. Miles PS Ah, just found it: http://www.webreview.com/pub/2000/02/11/php/index.html That will take you to their archive. Good luck!! PPS The shell script just prompts for a directory name and creates the directory, then copies all files from the web site root into the newly created directory. A second script publishes the new files. Have fun!!! Basically I am using PHP and MySql, is there no way of just grabbing the last 7 articles entered into the database and displaying them and then linking to a page with the rest of them (ie. All the others minus the last 7 - the ones on the front page)? What loop code would I need for this, its a friends site that I have just started : www.sunsetbeachuk.com Thats the url if it helps to take a look, as you will see the front page just grows and grows as more news is added _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP-DB] Tricky database query involving two tables
I have a tricky database query I can't figure out how to write. I have a PHP app using MySQL that does a query like this: (main query) select * from A left join B on something where B.thing = "1" This gets me everything in A where its corresponding element in B has a certain attribute. What I want is to be able to now do this: select * from A where A not in the result set of the main query I can't just do: select * from A left join B on something where B.thing != "1" or B.thing is NULL because things in A might occur more than once in B, (or not at all in B, but that's covered by the NULL part), and so this query would return things in A that I already got in the main query. Is there a way to do this in MySQL? Or do I have to just query everything, and then have the skipping logic be in PHP? I'd love to encapsulate this in a query. Would it involve subqueries (something I know that MySQL doesn't directly support)? Let me know if I need to be more clear or specific in my question.

Would it involve subqueries (something I know that MySQL doesn't directly support)? The part that seems to be missing here is that you are note limiting the relationships between table A and table B, you are just slapping them together. There should probably be a field that you use to lock rows together between the tables: select a.foo,b.bar from A left outer join B ON a.foo=b.foo where b.bar=1 If you have known relationship between the tables shared between the queries then selecting "b.bar!=1" should actually work. Hard to get real specific though without seeing a "real" query and table schema. Cheers - Island Net AMT Solutions Group Inc.
