RE: [PHP-DB] Date Format
Hi CK, I always fetch the Date like SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Timestamp) AS Timestamp so you can manipulate it with all the PHP Date- and Timefunctions like date(). So you can display the date the way you asked with: $Timestamp = ; // fetch the Timestamp the way you like =8) echo date( d-m-Y, $Timestamp ); Thats it. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] Persistent connection: Yes or Not?
This is only a guess but for Windows 2000, is there a file in your oracle directory called init.ora? The x's would be the instance name. You might have a maximum number of users defined in that file which is limiting your persistent connections. Check license max users (license_max_users) and license max sessions (license_max_sessions). You can also set license session warning (license_sessions_warning) which will give you a warning message when the number of connections is reached before a failure message is generated. If you dont' have this file, then check your oracle.reg file. In actuality, Oracle should not crash when it hits the max users. It should only return an error message. You might want to open up a problem report with Oracle or search their site for possible fixes. I haven't dealt with Windows 2000. My experience is with Solaris so I'm not sure if the setup is the same. I assume it is.

Can anyone tell me the best way to structure this? Should I always be using either post or get only, what's the best way to pass variables in this manner to ensure ease of maintenance and not letting it get messy (for example, should I be using an array of variables)? Is there an easier way? If anyone of you has come across this before, could you please point a newbie in the right direction? Thanks.

[PHP-DB] RE: Best foot forward?
Hi,
I created a searchable members directory that probably dealt with some of
the issues you're dealing with ... though from your email I can't really
tell what exactly your application is for.
I'm not sure how professional or maintainable mine is, but here are some
basics of how I laid it out...
a) html form using post that is used to get the user's search parameters.
The user hits the submit button to submit their search parameters. The html
form uses post to call itself (ie the PHP page the form is on).
You could use GET, but all the values entered by the user would display as
part of the URL. The main issue might be that there is a limit to how long
your URL could be. If the user adds too many search parameters the URL might
become to long and you'd have a problem.
b) First the php script checks to see if search parameters have been
submitted. If yes, then an SQL statement is used to search a MySQL database.
For example, if the user wants to find all members with the last name lee,
then the SQL statement looks for all members with the last name lee and
returns them sorted by one of the columns (in my case the column containing
the full name last, first)
c) I create a two dimensional array of members that contains just their
member number. I want to display the members returned in pages of 10
entries, so the first dimension of the array contains the page number, and
the second dimension contains the item number on that page...here's the
code, I hope it makes sense...
// create array of members numbers returned by search
// note: first dimension is page number
// second dimension is page entry (up to 10 items per page)
$pageNum = 1;
$itemNum = 1;
$totalNum = 0;
while ($fieldsdirectory = mysql_fetch_array($resultdirectory))
{
$directoryresults[$pageNum][$itemNum] =
$fieldsdirectory[dir_addresses_memberid];
$itemNum++;
$totalNum++;
if (($itemNum-1) == 10)
{
$pageNum++;
$itemNum = 1;
}
}
// if the number of items is divisible by 10 we will have an extra
page
if (($totalNum % 10) == 0)
{
$pageNum--;
}
If you are displaying items one at a time, just create a one-dimensional
array -- much easier than the mess above!
d) When I display the results, I display the search form so the user can put
in another search, and below it the results. For mine, I don't use
first/last/prev/next, I just display links to the various pages in the
result set and add the variables needed to display those pages to the URL in
the html link (which calls itself).
In your case, you would probably have a variable that keeps track of the
current entry. Knowing the current entry, you would be easily be able to get
the previous item and the next item (since it is an array). The first item
would be at index=0, and for the last item you could keep track of the total
number of items (or use a function to get the total number of items the
array).
If you think it might be useful, I can send you more of the code. I don't
however separate the PHP from the HTML which makes it a bit confusing and
I'm not sure how close this is to what you're looking for. This is pretty
much a one-person shop and keeping all the code together is probably less
confusing!
Rita.

be using either post or get only, what's the best way to
pass variables in this manner to ensure ease of maintenance
and not letting it get messy (for example, should I be using
an array of variables)? Is there an easier way?
If anyone of you has come across this before, could you
please point a newbie in the right direction? Thanks.
Best Regards,

Re: [PHP-DB] Unexplained MySQL Error..
Hi Chris, I think you are onto something here.. However, this has produced another problem. Boget, Chris wrote: UPDATE WLPbib, WLPpublisher,WLPprofile,WLPbib2profile I think you can only update one table at a time... I could be wrong, though... I seperated this out into 3 update commands. However, the WHERE statement is hanging now: Database error: Invalid SQL: UPDATE WLPpublisher SET WLPpublisher.publisherID = '' WHERE WLPbib.bibID = '32' AND WLPbib.publisherID = WLPpublisher.publisherID MySQL Error: 1109 (Unknown table 'WLPbib' in where clause) Please contact the webmaster and report the exact error message. Session halted. I can understand that MySQL is getting a bit upset because I am referring to fields like WLPbib.bibID when the table hasn't been specifically referenced in the query. So how how do I work bibID (which isn't defined in WLPpublisher) into the following query: $q = UPDATE WLPpublisher SET WLPpublisher.publisherID = '$ary[publisherID]' WHERE WLPbib.bibID = '$ary[bibID]' AND WLPbib.publisherID = WLPpublisher.publisherID; I'm going to run into a similar problem in the next query: $q = UPDATE WLPprofile SET WLPprofile.firstName = '$ary[firstName]', WLPprofile.middleName = '$ary[middleName]', WLPprofile.lastName = '$ary[lastName]' WHERE bibID = '$ary[bibID]' AND WLPbib2profile.bibID = WLPbib.bibID AND WLPbib2profile.profileID = WLPbib.profileID; so any sugestions to get over this next hurdle would be great.

Re: [PHP-DB] Help!!! Can anybody help me with my script?
Tony pressed the little lettered thingies in this order...
I am trying to figure out how to read data base(Mysql) with rows of item
number (item) and quantity, so that when item number was given, it searched
for the quantity of the item number. If the quantity number is 0 or less,
it will show Out of Stock, else will show In Stock on my web page. Here
is part of language that I wrote and didn't work. Please help me what to
do,
There are two common methods. One uses PHP and the other uses
MySQL. The one that is most efficient depends largely on the design
and size of the table and the desired output. See below...
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM inventory,$link);
Here are the two queries that will work. The first with PHP:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM inventory WHERE item =
'$itemx',$link);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($num 1) {
echo Out of stock;
} else {
echo In stock;
}
This would be very inneficient because it requires MySQL to do a full
retrieval from the table. The only reason you would want to do it this way
is if you wanted to relace the In stock above with actual results from
the query.
If you just wanted to say In stock it would be more efficient to use
MySQL's built-in COUNT(*) function:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inventory WHERE
item = '$itemx',$link);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$num = $row[0];
}
if ($num 1) {
echo Out of stock;
} else {
echo In stock;
}
Note that if you use mysql_num_rows() on the second query, you will
always get a result of one (1) because the number of rows that MySQL
returns with this query will always be one (it returns how many records
matched your query as its one row return), assuming that there are no
errors. In either case, you can echo $num to display the number of
records returned.
Good luck...

Session halted. I can understand that MySQL is getting a bit upset because I am referring to fields like WLPbib.bibID when the table hasn't been specifically referenced in the query. If you do not list a table in the UPDATE parameter, you cannot reference that table from anywhere else within your query. The same is true of SELECT statements - you cannot reference a table that is not listed in the FROM clause. The same is true of UPDATE and many other commands. There's a table selection parameter for most SQL queries (at least those that actually query), and you cannot point to tables later in your query that are not listed. In other words, you cannot tell it to update table1 where table2 = ... If you haven't told it to do an action (update in this case) on table2, it's going to wonder what the heck those tables have to do with each other and exit with an error. This is an oversimplification of what really happens, but this message is way too short to go into that in any detail. You should either pour through the documentation section at mysql.com or get the book MySQL by Paul DuBois. The docs may be difficult to get through for newbies, but they are precise and contain a lot of info. The book on the otherhand starts at the beginning and holds your hand into the more difficult aspects. The book even goes into details about how MySQL works that makes it so that you can't do what you are attempting above. Christopher Ostmo a.k.a.

But can you UPDATE or INSERT into multiple tables using the same query? You can SELECT multiple fields FROM multiple tables, but I ran into an error when I tried to use UPDATE with this same logic.

I've found a number of MySQL Tutorials online that have been useful. However I keep running into these gaps in my understanding. I will look for Paul's book. Likely tomorrow. Thanks for the led.

Re: [PHP-DB] Help!!! Can anybody help me with my script?
Thanks for your quick respond and your help.
This is great.
I have one more favor to ask you. As you know I am a beginner of PHP
Mysql, do I put that language on all my product pages? It seems to be too
much work.
Is there way that I can save main language that you wrote in to one file as
stock.php3, and point a link from product html page with known item number
for itemx?
And, print the result back to product html page with Out of Stock or In
Stock.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks again for your help.

Take a look at function()
http://php.he.net/manual/en/functions.php
and require:
http://php.he.net/manual/en/function.require.php
Define the code in the file you are requiring:
function inStock($itemx) {
...do query here...
...echo result here...
}
And in your regular pages:
require(file_with_functions.php);
inStock($itemx);
That's about it.
Good luck...
