[PHP-DB] REQ code help for case statement
Hi all, Trying to move code into MySQL rather than php, but can't find any examples of what I want to do. I have a number of fields and want to be able to check a number of fields (most containing workflow dates or text) and return a 'message' for web display. The message will take the form of 'Status of record' followed by a date taken from the appropriate field (not always the same one). The example in the manual doesn't refer to field data at all but to numbers. How do I write the code to do this? I need to do this on two web pages, one for a single record and one which shows a list of records (each will display the 'message'. MTIA George, Edinburgh --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[PHP-DB] Replacing * with %
Hello all! I can't for the love of god get neither ereg_replace nor str_replace to work. I wan't to replace * with % so I can use SELECT ... WHERE whatever LIKE string% in MySQL. I've tried ereg_replace(*,%,$search_name). Didn't work. I tried escaping the asterisk. I tried double-escaping the asterisk. I tried str_replace(*,%,$search_name), and that didn't work either. I tried just about everything I could think of, escaping, double- escaping and triple-escaping ad nauseum, but it just wont work. Oh, yes, I also tried $search_name=ereg_replace(blablabla); What a surprise. It didn't work. Yes, I've RTFM, RTMFM, read from my PHP Blackbook to phpbuilder.net and just about everything in between. Pretty soon I'll start bashing away on that Solaris 8 box over there.

[PHP-DB] MySQL/PHP and the case of Good Lord, that's a lot ofstatements
Hi All, Normally I try not to take work home with me, mainly because I'm good enough at breaking my own code. In this case, however, I think it might be a good idea if I knew the answer to the question I was asked. Basically, there's a PHP script. This script is a rather kludgy way of keeping a bunch of data in a flat file generated on a certain server reasonably up to date with the data in a MySQL database on the frontend webserver. The script's responsibility is to go through this file line by line (some 8000 of them), parse the data on each line, perform a simple transform or two on that data, create a query to REPLACE that data into the database (the flat file and the backend server are authoritative over the MySQL server), execute the statement and then move on to the next line. The problem is, somewhere in the middle of this script (more like closer to the beginning) the script just *dies*. I say that because there's no error message, no warnings, no footer content that's included after the processing is done, nothing. It just dies in the middle of the while loop that reads the file and executes the statements. Some rather exhaustive checking by both myself and the actual owner of the script indicate that there are no glaring errors in the PHP or the SQL the PHP generates, and the lack of an error message of any kind indicates the same thing. That said, here's where I'm sitting currently: I think it's a matter of some limitation in the system. Almost certainly not one that's hardcoded in there by anyone, but perhaps along the line of some sort of system-dependent limit that needs to be increased. I think it'll probably be hard to give a definitive answer right out off the bat (and that's not what I'm looking for), but I'd like some ideas as to possible places I could start looking. Here are the details I _do_ have: OS: BSD/OS MySQL: 3.22 (Upgrading isn't much of an option, or I would have) PHP: 4.0 (Might be 4.0.1. Same situation as above, but perhaps a CGI version can be built if this is the limitation) The data file is right around 8600 lines, and all told the script is executing just over 1 statement per line. Any light someone could shed on the situation would be much appreciated.

on 1/15/02 7:38 AM, Adam Royle at [EMAIL PROTECTED] appended the
following bits to my mbox:
I have been trying for months now (on and off) to get mail() working in
OS X. I
- I am using PHP v4.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.1 (pre-compiled with cool options
from entropy.ch)
- I installed Communigate Pro (a mail server -- and this works when I
use it in Mail.app)
1) This post should've gone to PHP-General since it isn't related to
databases.
SMTP = ifunk.dyndns.org
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) These values are only valid for Windows php installs, not for Unix (i.e.,
Mac OS X.
- I don't want to use sendmail, I want to use the mail server I have
already installed.
FWIW, OS X comes with sendmail installed, you just need to enable it in the
/etc/hostconfig file.
Perhaps Communigate Pro has a sendmail type wrapper that you can point the
php sendmail value to. I've heard that qmail has such a script. Check with
CG Pro support for more info.
Another option would be to use Manuel Lemos' excellent SMTP class for
sending you email directly through an smtp server.
http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/
Of course, then you wouldn't actually be using the mail() function.
HTH.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: MySQL/PHP and the case of Good Lord, that's a lot of statements
Uoh, It's a big one... Some thougths I had while reading your e-mail: - There is an option in php.ini where you can disable error messages (someone wrote to the list, it might be in the archive). And I found in my php.ini now the error_reporting option, maybe you could set it to E_ALL to see if it show any error. - I had the same problem writing squid log to mysql. It always died when find a line with http://www...com/file.cgi?option=+'bust'+ because it breaks the SQL. Probably this is not problem because you are echoing the SQL but it's worth to look at the last statement. - Another thing that don't see to be the problem is the memory limit because my squid log is very bigger than that and my memory_limit is the default 8M. (I'm running this script in the shell, not in the browser). - Does it die always in the same statement? I think that if it's a system limitation and you have any other thing running in you machine it won't die always the same way. If it does, I think it's a script or SQL problem. Just some ideas to help... good luck, Bruno Pereti. - Original Message - From: Tobyn Baugher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 12:22 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: MySQL/PHP and the case of Good Lord, that's a lot of statements On 1/15/2002 9:17 AM -0500 Hugh Bothwell wrote: How long does this take to run?

Re: [PHP-DB] Moving from MySQL to MSSQL Server 2000
Sorry for the late reply to this, but if you were to move to MS SQL I'd highly recommend using FreeTDS (www.freetds.org) to access the database from PHP. Due to the lack of an MS SQL client library in Mac OS X I have to use FreeTDS to contact another MS SQL server ( I use MySQL myself ). Setup was very easy, you just build FreeTDS and then configure PHP using --with-sybase-ct=/path/to/freetds. Then you can use the mssql_* group of functions to access the database.

Hi, You can indeed use ODBC, and that will get around some issues that FreeTDS has with SQLServer 2000. Some ODBC drivers are slow, but you will find OpenLink's drivers to be exceptionally fast. To use ODBC, you will need to link PHP against iODBC as per the howto at www.iodbc.org The drivers are available as a free download (2-connection license) from www.openlinksw.com Hope this helps!

RE: [PHP-DB] passing variable through an html email
Hi
Could it be that your message block starts with ' (single quote) so the
variables are not evaluated. Variables are only evaluated when using
(double quotes) which does not mix well with HTML.
try using $message='text and HTMLtag name=zapit'.$variable.' more text
and HTML';

1) Please don't cross post to two lists.
2) No. MySQL uses separate threads for each connection. They don't

RE: [PHP-DB] FreeBSD 4.2 and ODBC
Paul, You can simply download the binary at www.iodbc.org and configure --with-iodbc as per the HOWTO. If you tried this and then got undefined function then this means you didn't use the correct php binary or somesuch. Ensure that ODBC support is compiled in by examining the output of a phpinfo(); You will still need an ODBC driver, as iODBC is simple the Driver Manager (enabling use of a driver). To enable BSD to access an Excel spreadsheet will require the following configuration. BSD Client PHP --with-iodbc (using iODBC SDK, use non-threaded option if you get pthread errors) Client-side ODBC - OpenLink MT Client DSN (in odbc.ini) configured with: Host = windows box below ServerType = odbc Database = server-side DSN below (foo) Environment variables in your PHP script: putenv(ODBCINI=path/to/odbc.ini); putenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path/to/odbcsdk/lib); (ODBCINSTINI is optional) Windows Server --- Server-side ODBC: OpenLink MT ODBC Agent (choose Access in the selection dropdowns) foo - DSN configured with the Microsoft driver for Excel that can open the spreadsheet All components are available as free downloads from OpenLink's website.

Re: [PHP-DB] FreeBSD 4.2 and ODBC
Thanks Andrew, I will attempt this in the morning. Is it okay with you if I email you on the iODBC stuff?

[PHP-DB] Automatic Listboxes

The first pulldown is country, then the second should popuplate from whichever country is selected and so on. My question is this: How can I populate a pulldown box in a form from a DB automatically? In other words, what I need is once they have selected the first listbox, instead of having to click GO to populate the second one it does it automatically after selecting the entry in the first box and so on. Can anyone help? Thank you all so much :-) Regards Chris Payne www.planetoxygene.com

Re: [PHP-DB] Automatic Listboxes
You'll have to submit the data. Just that instead of pushing go, you can get JavaScript to do that. For instance, form name=myForm1 action=? echo $PHP_SELF? select name=country onChange=document.myForm1.submit() option value=Albania option value=Andorra /select /form form name=myForm2 action=? echo $PHP_SELF? select name=country onChange=document.myForm2.submit() option value=Albania option value=Andorra /select /form form name=FinalForm action=final_URL select name=country option value=Albania option value=Andorra /select input type=submit /form You'll then have to check whether you have any field empty and, if so, echo the same form again, with the empty element populated. The final form actually contains the button which gets to the final page. Alternatively you could use a single form, but then you'll have both pieces of code (echoing the form and echoing the final page) in the same PHP - easily solvable with include() for clean coding.

[PHP-DB] sorting on the first 8 digits....
Ok, I did something stupid and now I am paying the price... In an internal database that tracks the time and date something happens on our site, I mistakenly forgot to use leading zeros in the 24 hour column(s). So, anything that happens between 1-9 am are all short by one digit. Now, I need to create a report that shows these transactions in the order that they happened. The answer to this problem should be as simple as adding a zero to the end of all records that are short one digit. But, for reasons that I won't explain here, that isn't possible. So, my question is this, is there a way to do a database call that would select all the records but allow me to order them based on the first 8 digits only? If you would like an example, I need the following two numbers to come up in the order listed. 20011012182929 200411322 Thanks for your time. John __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

RE: [PHP-DB] Automatic Listboxes
Javascript is your way to do this, but there are obviously a few ways you
can do that aswell. You don't want to have to submit a form and reload
images/pages etc, so javascript is the only way to go (or dhtml or other
stuff)
One way to do this is either with layers (hide/unhide depending on what
need) and all the information is already printed to the page, but shows only
the needed information.
Another way is to create javascript arrays and let javascript do the
selections and stuff... I've seen a few tutorials around that do that...
Here are some links that might help you:
This is for dreamweaver and ASP but same principal (and explains how it
works aswell)
http://www.macromedia.com/support/ultradev/ts/documents/client_dynamic_listb
ox.htm
This is something similar, and also cool...
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/auto-drop-down.html
This is a basically what you want... but you might have to modify it a
little bit...
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/category-selection.html
So you get PHP to fill the javascript array by something like this, knowing
that I am no genius in javascript (as long as you have values in $array):
head
script langauage=Javascript
!--
function start(){
var something = new Array();
?php
for ($i=0;$icount($array);$i++){
echo javascript array stuff -- $array[$i];
}
?
// now the other javascript code (additional lists etc)
}
and then thats it! (well, sorta, but you get the jist)

To find out if $new_pic pointed to a valid image you would probably need
to do a select count(*) from ab to get the total number of records. If
$new_pic is less than the count, then show the link.

[PHP-DB] Session and authentication questions in frames
I have a successful website with authenticatin and logons. There are sections that I allow anyone to get to, but the others have to be authenticated. This site is not using frames at all. its a page by page, with the unit that does the authentication and sessions being included in each page. I've taken these same units to another site. I altered the pieces neccesary to hit the new sites database and users. This site is using frames. the outer frames are not using the authentication or sessions. However, internal pages do. As I enter a section that needs a logon, it prompts me. Then it goes to the correct page. But the next page it goes too, it wants to get a logon again. These pages are in a row, and they all use the same sessions stuff that the other site uses. I know that they all have to include the same units, so once it needs to logon, it'll prompt that, but it should pass this session info from here to there, and not have to logon again. Its driving me nuts. The only thing I can think of thats different is the frames. I even took the same code from the other site ( the one that does work without frames), and plugged it in. So the session logon was for the other site and other db. It'd prompt me each time too. I am not sure what to do now... help please. -- 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]
