[PHP-DB] MSSQL: Spaces in database name
How can I get mssql_select_db to accept a database name with spaces in it? For example, this: ... stuff $dbname = Test Database; ... more stuff mssql_select_db($dbname); doesn't work. But if I change to a database with no space in the name (like Test_Database) it works fine. Other apps (Access, SQL Admin, etc.) have no problems with a database with a space in the name. - Robert -- 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] Error checking and escaping before running a query (MySQL)
Hi all I have a searchbox that throws a wobbly when certain characters are entered into it - basically the user is supposed to enter a space-delimited list of words to search for, and then I create an array from it and turn it into an OR etc query. What I initially did was replace all commas with spaces, but I've realised that double-quotes mess it up too. The command I used for the spaces is $searchbox = ereg_replace( , , , $searchbox); I tried $searchbox = ereg_replace( \ , , $searchbox); but the page shows an error of Warning: REG_EPAREN: in d:\apache\htdocs\dev\code\can_search_quick.php on line 22 there's a parse error if I don't escape the , so what can I do? I know how to do it in VB! I searched PHP.net, but could only find an old bug report that advised escaping special characters! Help! Thanks in advance Dave
RE: [PHP-DB] Error checking and escaping before running a query (MySQL)
Dave, sounds like you are on the right track, but rather than use the comparatively bulky regular expression engine, why not just the light-weight string function str_replace( ,, , $searchbox ); (see String Functions in the manual) and you should be able to do str_replace( \, , $searchbox ); without violating any holy regex laws :) // -Original Message- // From: Dave Watkinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Wednesday, 8 August 2001 3:18 PM // To: PHP-DB List (E-mail) // Subject: [PHP-DB] Error checking and escaping before running a query // (MySQL) // // // Hi all // // I have a searchbox that throws a wobbly when certain characters are // entered into it - basically the user is supposed to enter a // space-delimited list of words to search for, and then I // create an array // from it and turn it into an OR etc query. // // What I initially did was replace all commas with spaces, but I've // realised that double-quotes mess it up too. // // The command I used for the spaces is // // $searchbox = ereg_replace( , , , $searchbox); // // I tried // // $searchbox = ereg_replace( \ , , $searchbox); // // but the page shows an error of // // Warning: REG_EPAREN: in // d:\apache\htdocs\dev\code\can_search_quick.php on line 22 // // there's a parse error if I don't escape the , so what can I // do?

[PHP-DB] record deletion using checkbox array values
Morning people,
I have a form with checkbox values, if checked an array of id's are passed
to a deletion script.
I can get the array and implode to a string.
Can anyone tell me how to delete all the messages in the DB that have the
checked value.
Presently the script is deleting only the last id value that has been
checked.
---snip-
First the form:
input type=\checkbox\ name=\delete_list[]\ value=\$id\
submit etc
Then the deletion script:
?php
$delete=implode(,, $delete_list);
if(!($result = mysql_db_query($DB, DELETE FROM SENT_ITEMS WHERE ID
= '$delete')))
{
DisplayErrMsg(sprintf(internal error %d:%s\n,
mysql_errno(), mysql_error()));
mysql_close($link);
exit();
}
?
Been messing about with this one for a while now and I am getting a bit
flustered!
Thx in advance,
Karl

Hi Karl,
$delete = ' . implode( ', ', $delete_list );
$delete = substr( $delete, 0, ( strlen( $delete ) - 3 ) );
then use: DELETE FROM sent_items WHERE id IN ($delete)
Not tested, but should work.

[PHP-DB] LDAP and special chars
Hello, I am working with PHP 4.0.6 and OpenLDAP 2.0.11. I encounter problems when modifying some entries with attributes containing special chars (such as å, ø...). The error returned by the LDAP server is invalid syntax. I have read some documentation about this. OpenLDAP can accept base64-encoded values, provided we use the tools that come with the application (ldapadd, ldapmodify, etc.). Then the attributes in the entry would be separated from their values by a double column instead of the single colums used normally. i.e, the entry would be dn:uid=whatever,o=whatever normalAttribute: normalvalue specialAttribute:: SVN== (this one is B64 encoded) But how to do this from PHP functions? I tried to base64_encode the values, it naturally didn't do the trick (those values were considered as normal, and thus were not decoded). Any idea?

[PHP-DB] AW: How to tell if a mysql table is locked
smime.p7m
[PHP-DB] DB Compaction Algorithm
Hello all... I'm going to propose an algorithm to compact a MySQL database containing information that I'll talk about shortly. I'm curious what you all think about it. Nevermind the various reasons why I should/should not do this, as I have weighed them in my head and decided that it's something I want to do. So, anyway, on with the show. --- My database is used by a radio station to keep track of their music assets and playlists. It contains the following tables: -albums -- Contains album data and references to other tables -artists -- Contains name and ID -genres -- Contains name and ID -labels -- Contains name and ID -media -- Contains name and ID -names -- Contains only one row... info about the radio station. -playlist -- contains a timestamp and references to users and tracks -tracks -- contains track info and references to albums and artists -users -- contains user information The names table is there so that I can easily pull the data from somewhere, but just as easily alter it from the interface... I didn't want to deal with using a file, though it wouldn't be hard... I may change that later. Anyway, because of repeated add's, delete's, etc on the name/ID tables, they are becoming fragmented. I have set the datatypes on the ID fields large enough to handle anything that they throw at it for now, but over the course of 5 years, they may begin to reach their capacity, and I will no longer be around to support it (it's a college radio station). Therefore, I have decided that I need an algorithm to compact the auto_increment fields. Here's what I'm thinking. On a table-by-table basis, create a temporary table that contains the old ID and the new ID. Then, once that table is populated, convert references in other tables from the old to new. Like this (in PHP pseudocode) result = SELECT * FROM labels; delete from labels; create temporary table labeltemp( oldid, newid ); loop through result insert into labeltemp (oldid) value (result[id]) update sometable set id=newid where id=oldid; So, that was brief and messy... but I think it will work. I'm hesitant to try it, because I can't create a new database, and I don't want to try it on live data. So, can anyone see a problem with this, aside from the old why do you want to do that? crap?

[PHP-DB] ranking database searches
This may be more trouble than I'm interested in, but I'm working on search functionality for a number of our MySQL database projects. I'm looking for ways (or just ideas about ways) to set up a ranking system such that I could have exact matches at the top of the list, then multiple partial matches listed below that, and single partial matches below that, etc. I'm proceeding currently with multiple queries and associative arrays, but I'm wondering if I'm going down the wrong path. It seems like it's going to add a ton of processing overhead. Any thoughts?

Re: [PHP-DB] ranking database searches
2 ideas: 1) Define the loosest item that returns results (likely regex) then search with slightly tighter criteria within the results. Good for situations where even partial matches are a small percentage of the total data 2) Check every record, and give it a score based on proximity to the search criteria, then sort. Good for returning the top N results with the possible results being a large portion of the total. Of course you could combine the two and get a subset, then score it and sort Just ideas __ Your mouse has moved.

[PHP-DB] Inseting info into MySQL and retrieving all in one SQL command
Hi guys, I am adding some information to my MySQL database. It is user's information. So it has things like email address, password, username, all that sort of stuff.

not so much in one step, but once you have inserted it you can call the function mysql_insert_id(); and it will return the auto_increment value of the last insert operation. see the manual for more.

This is standard Microsoft (and maybe ODBC?) syntax. Using square brackets will work on most things including table names and field names with spaces in them. This will work fine SELECT [table space].[field space] FROM [table space] It doesn't mean that you should go around putting spaces in your database objects.

sounds like you are running php as a cgi on IIS, suggestions; 1. run php as a module on apache :) (yes it works on win2k) 2. your code is incorrect, try doing some debugging throught your code (ie. echo $variables or something to make sure things are right) HTH // -Original Message- // From: Travis Cannell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Thursday, 9 August 2001 11:34 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] semi newbie Q // // // Thanks for the advice.

RE: [PHP-DB] MSSQL: Spaces in database name
Understood. Notice that almost all of the MS databases and tables (predefined and samples) have *no* space in them. I'd long ago forgotten the ODBC/SQL syntax (last time I used it was in 95), thanks for the reminder. - Robert (who likes to use human readable names wherever possible) -Original Message- From: Graeme Merrall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 8:19 PM To: Robert D. Young Cc: 'Beau Lebens'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] MSSQL: Spaces in database name Quoting Robert D. Young [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That did it! Using: ... stuff $dbname = [Test Database]; ... more stuff mssql_select_db($dbname); worked perfectly. Again, Thanks! This is standard Microsoft (and maybe ODBC?) syntax. Using square brackets will work on most things including table names and field names with spaces in them. This will work fine SELECT [table space].[field space] FROM [table space] It doesn't mean that you should go around putting spaces in your database objects. That's never a good idea :) Cheers, Graeme -- 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]
