Re: [PHP-DB] convert yyyy/mm/dd to mm/dd/yyyy, how?
Sander,
I'm also in Europe but here in the UK we prefer dd/mm/ and I've cobbled
together a couple of functions to handle this for me.
function dbdate($input)
{
$today = explode(-,$input);
$month = $today[1];
$day = $today[2];
$year = $today[0];
$p_date = $day . / . $month . / . $year ;
return $p_date;
}
function revdate($input)
{
$today = explode(/,$input);
$day = $today[0];
$month = $today[1];
$year = $today[2];
$revdate = $year . - . str_pad($month, 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT) . - .
str_pad($day, 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
return $revdate;
}
I've stored these in a file which I include and any call to the db to
display dates uses the dbdate() function and if I want to insert or update a
date then I use the revdate() function.
There are probably better ways to do this.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [PHP-DB] convert /mm/dd to mm/dd/, how?
Hello everybody,
convert /mm/dd to mm/dd/, how?
MYSQL does everything in /mm/dd.
I live in the Netherlands and we are use to the format dd/mm/.
What's the best way to display it as mm/dd/ in a table on a query?
My first idea whas to split the date up in vars in php and then print
the vars in the way I like it
Is this a bad idea? Or are there better sollutions?
Thanx in advance for answering!

Re: [PHP-DB] The New Guy
Christopher, I do a lot of work with Perl and have decided to see what this PHP is all about. The best way for me to do that, is to just do a project. Here is what I am looking to do. I would like to use PHP and the SQL language on a CSV or Flat File Database. A lot of my work is on unix system that people want to work with Access. They do not want to pay the extra amount of money fora MySQL database. The answer to this issue is access with exports to CSV files for some of the simplier stuff like shopping carts and members and stuff like that. Here's the thing, can PHP interact with a flat file databse like perl and the DBD::CSV? If so can someone point me in the right idrection to get started. I have a server for development and it now has 4.0 PHP. =When you next change jobs will you be keen to accept a company car that has one wheel permanently removed, has no doors, and is pulling a U-Haul filled with lead bars and raw sewage, topped off with a flag saying We are the greatest! ? =Is the outlined task a primary focus of PHP? PHP is renowned for its web orientation (output is HTML), and support of databases to build/run dynamic web sites. Ironically 'dumbing it down' to simpler stuff[sic], like removing the fourth wheel from a car, is likely to give you a very stunted/skewed view of the package. =Yes PHP has a library of flat file routines, if you insist on using them. MySQL has the capability to LOAD .csv DATA if that is the specified transfer medium, and would offer full RDBMS speed and dynamism. =Where do the lead bars etc fit in? You mention Unix systems and the Access package, plus CSV file exports. In such an incompatible environment you are hobbling the development project before you start. Again with the result that any system produced will not be representative of what PHP can do. =PHP users talk of LAMPS and the PHP Triad (the former is well explained by O'Reilly (the publishers) and Google will supplement my faded memory for a source on the latter). LAMPS is Linux, Apache (web server), MySQL (RDBMS), and PHP. The PHP 'Triad' is the last of those three conveniently packaged together for download/installation. So from this you can take it that PHP was designed to/will work well in any combination of these. =In your example, I fail to perceive success in a Unix-Access combination, but presume you know more than I. The PHP-MySQL combination is proven, and operates at a far more 'industrial scale' than Access (more comparable to MS SQL-Server). In a standard commercial environment I cannot think of a particular service that MySQL under PHP control cannot provide, that Access can - but many pragmatic reasons not to use Access. =You mention extra money. This may or may not be the case. If it were a comparison between buying Access or buying MySQL then it would be wrong, but if they have already paid for Access then you may be correct. By and large, MySQL is 'free' but MySQL AB will charge for a support contract - but you must check your application against the license terms! You also ask about 'sources'. The best place to start, both to review the licensing and to find links to online sources is the MySQL AB web site. =Get rid of the we are the greatest flag, and choose the right tool for the job - or leave the challenge of starting on a PHP/MySQL career until it/they are the 'right' tool/best mix for the client-constraints of your application! =dn -- 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] Combining INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO
Hello! It's me again, with the magazine database : ) Is there any way to combine INSERT...SELECT and INSERT INTO so one could insert a new row with a few values inserted by hand and others from another table? something like INSERT INTO mag_table (mag_id,issn,year,info,volume,numbers,remarks) VALUES ( (SELECT id FROM mag_names WHERE mag_names.name=Asdf), 1234-5678,2001,foobar,1-4,1-52,foobar); I'm trying to construct myself a nice clever INSERT statement to my web-frontend. Haven't got it to work, though. Is this even possible? The other option would be to use three(?) mysql_query calls from my PHP-code, but I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

Matt,
Here's how I did the 20 results per page. Messy, I know, but
it was the only way I figured out how to do it.
$query=SELECT * FROM table;
$result=mysql_query($query,$database);
$nr=mysql_num_rows($result);
/* Here you can slap in a check for how many results
you want, ie:
*/
if($nr200) {
die(Bitch,whine and moan!);
}
$nr_pages=(ceil($nr/20));
Or, you could, in the first SELECT statement put in a
LIMIT 200, I suppose that would work, too.
I'd have to dig into this myself too, as my database will
have a tad over 100 000 records when it's done.
Then I have two buttons, prev next that's got a little
javascript slapped on them;
INPUT TYPE=button VALUE=previous page
onclick=parent.location='nav.php?nav=truego=prev';
One potential problem (or feature, depending on which way you look at it!)
is that refreshing/reloading a page will jump to the next or previous page
depending on which action was last performed.
The way around this is to pass a position variable indicating which page of
results to view, rather than an 'action' variable.

[PHP-DB] MySQL/Gemini now free - any feedback??
Hi Just noticed that NuSphere are now including the Gemini table type in their free binary download. It seems that everything is there, apart from the online backup, which is only available in the commercial version. I need transactions, and took a look at InnoDB. But it seems to have some pretty serious drawbacks, such as fixed table sizes, not being able to provide cardinality info to count(*), a manual that assumes you have a PHD in database application programming etc. The Gemini table is based on an enterprise proven Progress embedded database engine, and would seem the way to go. Has anyone got practical experience of deploying it on Linux? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I haven't run this on Unix myself, but I think this answer might be useful. Someone please correct me if I'm out to lunch. Check which user account is actually running the PHP process (or the Apache process if it's not the CGI). Then ensure that it (the PHP user) has the rights to create files in the specified directory.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record
Hi.
What about Auto_increemnt field ??
Your's id can be auto_increment field. for example:
create table dupencja (id int(7) auto_increment not null, primary key(id));
so when you insert records:
insert into dupencja values('') - id will be 1
insert into dupencja values('') - id will be 2
this is auto_increment, so your trick isn't need.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record
I am sorry, I was not clear in my original request.
The id is auto-incremented. I want to grab the id so that I can use it as
part of a redirect
$q2=select Course_ID from course where HEI_ID = '$inst' order by Course_ID
desc limit 0,1;
$result2=mysql_query($q2) or die(q2 failed);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result2))
{
$recid=$row['Course_ID'];
}
$redirect=('Location: http://localhost/Mysite/itemlist.php?recid=' .
$recid);
header($redirect);
As I said, it works but maybe there's a better way.

What about Auto_increemnt field ??
Your's id can be auto_increment field. for example:
create table dupencja (id int(7) auto_increment not null, primary
key(id));
so when you insert records:
insert into dupencja values('') - id will be 1
insert into dupencja values('') - id will be 2
this is auto_increment, so your trick isn't need.
More in manula of mysql.

Subject: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record
Hi,
Is there a way to grab the ID (from ID field) while INSERTing a new
record?
I am currently doing a separate INSERT then a SELECT query to find the
most
recently added record by that user:
select ID from table where user = '$user' order by ID DESC limit 0,1
This does the trick but it may not be the most efficient way.

straight after you do the insert command, use the call:
$ID = mysql_insert_id();
The $ID is now the primary key for the record you just inserted.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record
That actually isn't a safe way to do it. Consider the following scenario: Insert A occurs generating row Y in your table. Insert B occurs generating row Z in your table. select occurs (after insert A) to grab last ID inserted...your result is the ID from row Z. select occurs (after insert B), and your result again is the result ID from row Z. So, in both cases you will get the ID from insert B, instead of your intended result (first select gives the ID from row Y and the second from row Z). You didn't mention which database engine that you are using, so I will assume you are using MySQL. There is a function called mysql_insert_id() that will give you the answer that you are looking for.

Re: [PHP-DB] grabbing id from new record
Sam, Thanks, I got the mysql_insert_id() tip a few seconds earlier. However, my alternative method (which I will now drop in the interests of efficiency) is perfectly safe. It is impossible for the same user to go and create another record in that verys small interim period between the two queries. That was why the WHERE user='$user' was there.

I just realized, I think that indices may not avail you when you're doing a search based on double-sided wildcards. I'm afraid you may be forcing a full table-scan by performing that kind of search. So run a few benchmark tests. Maybe populate a test database with a large volume (like 100,000 rows or more) so you'll notice performance differences, and then run a few tests.

Sell guns to third-world countries to finance your php-support-question habit, and pay Zend and MySQL AB to answer your questions. Read Julie Meloni articles when you're on the can.

I made this change:

$sql = select news_id, bulletin_subject from dbulletins;
elseif (isset($submit)):
$sql = delete from dbulletins where news_id = '$newsid';
endif;

[PHP-DB] any good web hosting with php and mysql support?
Hi All, I am currently looking for a reliable web host to host my personal website. I know there are millions of web hosting companies that have PHP and MYSQL support but I just can't trust any of the fully-assured and confident webhosting ads anymore. I would like to get a service from a company for which someone can vouch. I did started hosting my web site at a webhoster that promised 99.99% uptime and my site is hardly ever up and running. They don't answer my emails either. IS there anyone who have web sites hosted at webhosting service for a reasonably long time without any problems? IF yes, can you please contact me and tell me about it? This might be kind of off-topic for both lists, and i apologize to both lists, so you might want to reply to my email rather than sending it to list(s). Thank you very much.

I use FGDesigner.com. They have proven to be quite reliable and have a wide range of plans available based on what you would need. You can check out the website. My husband and I have been hosting our site through them for a couple of years and never had any problems. I also know that they have PHP support because I was asking about it recently. I am pretty sure that they have MySQL support too - I can't be positive because I don't use MySQL.

[PHP-DB] what is the result index? (Mysql)
Hello, I'm running a select-query and getting this warning: -- Warning: Unable to jump to row 100 on MySQL result index 2 -- I know the reason for the warning, but what exactly does this number two mean? The query is in een for-loop and the resultnumber rises by 2.

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with mail function
Hi, Faye. There's a parm in the configuration file (php.ini) cleverly called max_execution_time. Its default setting is 30. There's also a set_time_limit() function that allows massaging this variable. Does this help?

[PHP-DB] Help! SQL 2000 and cursors
I've been running a PHP4 script on a Linux server every day for quite a while now. All of a sudden, it stops working. The error message is: [ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The cursor was not declared. What does this mean and how can I fix it? Nothing has changed as far as I know. Nobody else has access. Here is the SQL statement that generates the error: $sql = SELECT acctid, invoicedate, paiddate, annualdate, reminder, memtype FROM tblAccounting WHERE InvoiceDate = ' . $filterdate . ') AND (reminder 3) AND (PaidDate IS NULL OR PaidDate = ' . $filteryear . ') ORDER BY acctid; The server is a Redhat Linux server with PHP compiled standalone. It gets to the SQL Server via the Easysoft OOB software.

I just tried installing MDAC 2.7 on my SQL Server, based on another user's recommendation. That didn't resolve the problem. Any other ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with mail function
Is there a solution to this if you do not have edit access to the php.ini file? [ie. a shared server] I found this function that seems to be a solution. What would the proper use be? ignore_user_abort(TRUE); ??? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ignore-user-abort.php http://www.phpbuilder.com/tips/item.php?id=125 olinux --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Faye.

[PHP-DB] Optimizing mail()
Just came across this post and wondered if anyone has done this - if so can you share some code? The idea is to order emails by the mailservers Would you just order the emails by domain name?
