[PHP-DB] One quick favor!!!!!!

2001-06-20 Thread Scott Fletcher

When I get the data from the database and put it into the a href=/a
code and use it in the post form, form ... . /fom.  And so on.
When I click the hyperlink to go to the next page, I saw the ugly code in
the URL address section of the web browser's window.  It said,
http://*/test_final/cart/cart_index.php?menu=categorycategory=fruit%20
%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%PHPSESSID=0E731DE82293C1E5FE524448731F7006.

How do I got rid of hte 20% data since I only have the word,fruit
from the database table.  I suspect that it have to do with the HTML form
post and get method.  How do I get rid of it???

Thanks!
 Scott

[PHP-DB] Search in a MySQL TEXT field

2001-06-20 Thread Antonio Mármol Albert

Hello,

What is the better method for doing searchs in a TEXT field ?

I have news in a web, but I think that use  field LIKE '%foo%'  can
overload my server if the traffic grows up.

Have you any reference about this? (urls, scripts, methods, documents...)

Thanks

I'm a newbie and have only worked with php to send email from webform input.
I now want to add a new feature to my website: Email article to a friend
and I don't know where to start. 

I want to add this feature to webpages that are dynamically created from a
mysql database.  How do I pull this same info. and send it in an email?

I'm desperately looking for help at the absolute basic level. I'm not even
clear on how I would grab the current url from which I want to email.

Please respond to my email directly as I'm on the digest version. I'll print

[PHP-DB] db abstraction: sql design

2001-06-20 Thread Michael P. Mehl

Hi!

I'm new to this mailing list. So if this post is off-topic, please tell
me and I will try to post it in other lists.

I'm currently developing an intranet solutions targeted to run with
several different SQL database system such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server and so on. For the database abstraction I use the
abstraction layer provided by the PEAR class collection. And for the
design of the tables I use a software called DeZign for database (very
good, by the way; more information at http://www.datanamic.com/). With
this software it's possible to develop tables and to export a SQL script
for creating those tables on several different database server,
especially those mentioned above.

The problem I have is how to develop SQL querys (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE)
that are compatible with all the SQL database I wrote about before. Does
anyone know whether a software like DeZign is also available for the
development of SQL querys? Or is there any _good_ resource on the
internet comparing the syntax of _all_ the SQL implementations of
databases? I didn't find any such information at all.

Thanks a lot in advance!

  Michael

You may want to try Metabase instead of PEAR because it helps you to write
database independent code that works seeminglessly with many different
databases so you don't have to rewrite your queries for each database you
want to support.

Metabase is also able to abstract the creation of databases and their
tables, fields, indexes and sequences.  You only need to describe your
database in a specific XML format.

Metabase manager is able to interpret your schema descriptions and install
it in your database of choice.  If later you decide to change your schema,
Metabase manager is also able to apply the changes without disturbing the
data inserted after you installed the database for the first time or
updated the schema for the last time.

Metabase is freely available and you can download it from here:

http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20

Watch also for ready to use components based on Metabase:

[PHP-DB] mssql_fetch_array problem

2001-06-20 Thread Jennifer Arcino Demeterio

Thanks for all your answers, but, they still seem not to work.  In my query,
the value of countryname is retrieved as expected but the value of countryid
is not.  There seems to be no value retrieved for countryid.  I am using
PHP4 on IIS4 on an NT machine with SQL Server 7 as the database.
countryname is of type varchar while countryid is type int, indentity,
auto_increment.  I tried listing them by printing the resultset but
countryid still does not have any value.  This could be a quirk that some of
you experienced and I sure would like to hear how you overcame this.

Thanks.

I am posting again the code snippet below:

?
$country_sql = select countryname, countryid from TBL_COUNTRY;
if ($country_query = mssql_query($country_sql)) {
   while ($myrow = mssql_fetch_array($country_query)) {
 $countryid = $myrow[countryid];
 $countryname = $myrow[countryname];
 print countryid is  . $countryid .  ,countryname is  .

Re: [PHP-DB] mssql_fetch_array problem

2001-06-20 Thread Russ Michell

Ok lets start from the beginning, apologies if this these have been 
mentioned previousely I haven't seent the rest of the thread:

* Make sure 'countryid' is spelled the same in your script as it is in 
  your DB table (I've done this and spent hours banging my head against 
  a brick wall) 
* Ensure they both have the same case.
* Ensure 'countryid' actually contains a value in the DB by looking 
  it up via the command line or your GUI.

These may sound trivial but think about it, why should some values 
return when another does not? What are the differences between the 
datatypes that are and are not returned? Compare them and try altering 
the differences you find to see what happens.

Good luck!
Russ

[PHP-DB] Query through two tables

2001-06-20 Thread Michael P. Mehl

Hi!

I've got two tables:

CREATE TABLE users (
   user_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   contact_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
   user_login varchar(100) NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (user_id),
   UNIQUE UC_user_id (user_id)
);

CREATE TABLE contacts (
   contact_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   contact_type varchar(100) NOT NULL,
   contact_value mediumtext,
   PRIMARY KEY (contact_id, contact_type),
   KEY idx_contacts (contact_id, contact_type)
);

In the table users the field user_id is a unique key for every user,
user_login contains an identification string to login into an system.
contact_id is the id of the entries in the table contacts which
contain more information about the user.

The special thing about this is that there are more than one entries in
the table contacts for each user. For example to store the prename of
a user, the following entry exists:

INSERT INTO contacts VALUES ( '1', 'person/prename', 'Michael
P.');

At the SAME time there's a second entry in the table contacts for the
user's surname:

INSERT INTO contacts VALUES ( '1', 'person/surname', 'Mehl');

The problem: How is it possible -- for example using temporary tables --
to do a query whose result is a table with the fields user_login and
two other fields user_prename and user_surname containing the
corresponding values from the table contacts.

Best regards and thanks in advance...
  Michael

[PHP-DB] A L'AIDE !!!!

2001-06-20 Thread HOUSSAYE

Bonjour, je suis un tout nouveau programmeur PHP.
Mais aujourd'hui je bloque sur ce problème :


print(option value=\Choisissez\Choisissez/option);

while ($ligne = mysql_fetch_array($resultat))
  {
 echo option name=\ville\ value=\;
 echo $ligne[ville];
 echo \;
 echo $ligne[ville];
 echo /option\n;
  }

Le paramètre qui est envoyé à la page des résultats doit être le nom de la
ville que l'on a préalablement choisi dans le menu déroulant.
Or, je ne peut mettre en même temps $ligne[ville] pour la valeur du menu
déroulant et $ligne[ville] pour l'affichage dans le menu déroulant.

Quelqu'un peut-il me donner un coup de pouce ?

Re: [PHP-DB] Any word in how to connect to PPROGRESS db usingPHP.

2001-06-20 Thread Angie Tollerson

Hi there,
We are currently getting PHP to talk to Progress. How you do it is thru ODBC.  You 
have to get a ODBC driver for Progress which you can get straight from Progress 
(Merant driver) for $100 or you can get one from www.openlinksw.com for $500 with 
multitier capabilities.  I will warn you, the current ODBC drivers out there for 
Progress are buggy.  For some reason, when you add new records in the db it will not 
trigger.  So you can't do autoincrement with the Progress DB.  You would have to turn 
off triggers and code in your PHP to find the last number used in the table (if you 
wanted an autoincrementing id number which you almost always do).  There is also an 
option of writing a java that does keeps track of the trigger for you  but we don't do 
java just yet and it sounds complicated.  Let me know if you pursue that what your 
code is.  
 Just keep these things in mind when you are designing your db.  There's also the 
problem with getting the last used record in the db and just adding one.  What if a 
person with id of 50 does a bunch of stuff, you have them saved in other table as 50 
doing this and that.  Then person 50 wants to be deleted.  So you delete them and then 
when you add a new person since 49 is the last used number person 51 gets added as 50. 
 NOw when person 51 needs things recorded in the other tables his data gets mixed up 
with the old person 50.  Have I confused you yet? I confused me!  The best solution is 
to keep a table called id where you keep track of every id number ever used and 
don't delete from it just becvause the number may get deleted in another table.  Hope 
I haven't totally turned you around! :)

Re: [PHP-DB] mssql_fetch_array problem

2001-06-20 Thread Angie Tollerson

Jennifer,
Try this code..I am using the same stuff as you with the exception of mysql instead of 
sql..but it may still work:
?
$country_sql = select countryname co_name_val, countryid co_id_val from 
TBL_COUNTRY;
if ($country_query = mssql_query($country_sql)) {
   while ($myrow = mssql_fetch_array($country_query)) {
 $countryid = $myrow[co_id_val];
 $countryname = $myrow[co_name_val];
 print countryid is  . $countryid .  ,countryname is  .
$countryname . br;
 }
}
?
It's kind of a save as type of statment but it works for me! I've had no problems 
with that sql statement.
Angie

 Jennifer Arcino Demeterio [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/20/01 12:17AM 
Thanks for all your answers, but, they still seem not to work.  In my query,
the value of countryname is retrieved as expected but the value of countryid
is not.  There seems to be no value retrieved for countryid.  I am using
PHP4 on IIS4 on an NT machine with SQL Server 7 as the database.
countryname is of type varchar while countryid is type int, indentity,
auto_increment.  I tried listing them by printing the resultset but
countryid still does not have any value.  This could be a quirk that some of
you experienced and I sure would like to hear how you overcame this.

Thanks.

I am posting again the code snippet below:

?
$country_sql = select countryname, countryid from TBL_COUNTRY;
if ($country_query = mssql_query($country_sql)) {
   while ($myrow = mssql_fetch_array($country_query)) {
 $countryid = $myrow[countryid];
 $countryname = $myrow[countryname];
 print countryid is  . $countryid .  ,countryname is  .
$countryname . br;
 }
}
?

[PHP-DB] PHP insert into Access autonumber, get inserted value back?

2001-06-20 Thread Ken

I have an Access database that PHP will be accessing.  (I'm assuming I have to do this 
via ODBC and the Unified ODBC functions in PHP, but correct me if I'm wrong.)

The PHP script will be inserting new records into the Access database.

The primary key in many of the tables in the Access database is an autonumber field. 
 Thus, the key value will be unknown until after I make the insert call.

My question: Either before or after the insert, is there any way for me to find out 
what the key value is?  I know if I were using MySQL, I could call the 
mysql_insert_id() function to get this information.

This is critical to me, because my project entails maintaining a new database 
(actually, a MySQL database) that contains the same information as an existing Access 
database.  Changes will be made to the new database, which then need to be propagated 
to the Access database.  In order for these databases to remain synchronized, I need 
the primary keys to be the same in both databases, clearly.

Thanks for any suggestions!

- Ken

Use server side cursors.

You may want to try Metabase which is a PHP database abstraction package
that supports many databases including MS-SQL and among many other things
lets you pick the range of rows of a SELECT query results that are
retrieved, pretty much like MySQL LIMIT clause but in away that works will
all supported databases including MS-SQL.

Metabase is freely available here:

You may also like to try this class that outputs query results in HTML

[PHP-DB] Informix Question how to put data from query into variables

2001-06-20 Thread wflow

Hi All,

What I want to do is create another query from some of the data from another
one. The question is how do I take the data I get back from my first query
and put that into variables so I can build my second query. The example I
have in mind is:

I a do a select tracknum,orderdate,ordertotal,status,shipdate from orders
where tracknum = '$trknum' and I want the data returned into vars: like
orderdate = $orderdate so I can create a new query like: select * from
shipping where orderdate = '$orderdate'.

HTML

!-- doit.php --BODY

H1Please enter your Tracking Number: /H1


FORM action=http://sqa/doit.php;

INPUT NAME=trknum BR

INPUT type = submit value = Execute

/FORM

/BODY



?php

define(DBG,1);

$connection = ifx_connect(fra3x@ol_unit,foo,bar)

or die(Couldn't create connection.);

$sql = select tracknum,orderdate,ordertotal,status,shipdate from orders
where tracknum = '$trknum';

$sql_result = ifx_query($sql,$connection);

@ifx_htmltbl_result($sql_result,border=1);

ifx_free_result($sql_result);

ifx_close($connection);

ifx_close();}

[PHP-DB] Too many Connections error

2001-06-20 Thread Micah Stevens

Hi,

I'm using PHP to connect to a MySQL server, and occasionally I get the 
following error:

Warning: Too many connections in 
/usr/sites/www/gamewardens_forum/forumadmin.php on line 243
Unable to connect to Database Server


I'm using a persistant connection with the function mysql_pconnect, But the

be created. So multiple calls shouldn't be a problem, right?

Any thoughts on this?

THANKS!

RE: [PHP-DB] how to email article to a friend

2001-06-20 Thread Brian Paulson

I would suggest that you send the link to the page that you want them to
visit rather then the entire article. 

The reason being is that you put a lot of work in to getting people to
your site to just give them the content, and if you have banners as a
revenue source and you send the entire article you will lose those
pageviews and click through rates. 

Just a thought, let me know if you want to do it this way and I will
share with you what we have done.

Re: [PHP-DB] MSSQL limit capability

MSSQL does not have complete the same functions. You can use SELECT TOP 10.

You could also define mssql.batchsize in php.ini. This way php only reads the 
specified number of rows. You can the use mssql_fetch_batch() to read batches of data 
on the same query.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP insert into Access autonumber, get inserted value back?

2001-06-20 Thread DanielW

Access should also accept standard SQL commands. If not, you can juggle
the data by shooting it from Access to a temp table in MySQL and reading the
autonumbered values.

If Access will accept your SQL commands (I don't use Access but maybe
someone else here can offer better information), then simply issue the
appropriate SQL command depending on what you need to do with the new set of
values at that point.

Also, I believe you can control the value in an autonumbered field in Access
so long as there are no duplicates. If this is the case, use the ODBC to
select the value in the last row (i.e.. WHERE COUNT = LAST) and add 1 when
inserting.
