[PHP-DB] Re: Poisoned Persistent OCI8 Connections
Hi, I don't have a direct solution to the problem, but I would use Oracle's Multi-Threaded Server and switch to using normal non-persistent PHP connections. Eg. rely on Oracle to do the connection pooling instead of PHP. My benchmarks suggest that this is quite an efficient method of connecting for short queries. Regards, John Hz11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I have PHP 4.0.6 compiled as an Apache 1.3.20 module with OCI8 and MySQL on RedHat 6.2. I use persistent connections with OCI8 to avoid the costly connection construction for Oracle for each request. However, I notice that these persistent connections get poisoned under certain circumstances. What I mean by this is this: Since each persistent connection stays with it's corresponding Apache process, if the database happens to be down when a request comes in, the persistent connection that is used throws an ORA-03113. However, even when the database comes back, the persistent connection still thinks the database is down somehow, and will continue to throw the ORA-03113 error. As a result, if a request happens to hit the poisoned Apache process, it appears the database is down. If a request hits another Apache process, all is OK. So far, the only way I've seen to deal this is to restart Apache, and have the persistent connections build up again. Obviously, this is not a good thing, and if the database should go down again, the persistent connections get poisoned again, and the cycle begins. How can this be dealt with? Any help would be great, as customers don't like having to refresh the page to avoid error messages. If any more info or clarification is needed please contact me.

[PHP-DB] LEFT JOIN in UPDATE
hi...trying to circumvent the limitation of the DELETE statement only being able to use its own table...idea is to mark the records to be deleted via an UPDATE statement which allegedly accepts LEFT JOIN and then performing the DELETE statement. Question is how to properly form a LEFT JOIN using UPDATE... I tried: UPDATE product_price LEFT JOIN temp SET product_price.product_price_vdate = 1 (del flag) ON product_price.product_id = temp.product_id WHERE temp.product_id IS NOT NULL as well as some other combos...to no avail!

[PHP-DB] Is ODBC now the Native interface for MS-SQL7/2000 ?
After looking at the newsgroup microsoft.public.sqlserver.odbc I came across the follwing piece of information - anyone know if it is true? It would certainly explain a few things (why we can only get 255 chars out of varchars etc). Should I move my code over to ODBC? I have tried but the ODBC driver appears to lack any decent output (-1) for the odbc_num_rows function - which breaks my existing code (it performs checks on the amount of rows). Anyone have any information about this? Should I talk to the developer(s) of the MSSQL extension do you think? IF it is true then the php docs should at least illustrate this point as a warning. [start of ms post] They don't provide one because db-lib is a dead interface and hasn't been upgraded in 5+ years now. fyi - ODBC and OLE-DB *ARE* native interfaces to SQL Server - it is these you should be using. [person who asked the question wrote] Why has Microsoft not provided a new ntwdblib.dll file for SQL Server 2000? Clients, such as Crystal, rely on this being valid for the current database. Crystal provides p2ssql.dll that communicates with ntwdblib.dll. Since ntwdblib.dll was last updated with SQL Server 6.5, the p2ssql.dll driver fails for clients. For example, column names 30 chars in length don't work in Crystal if you use the p2ssql.dll driver (that communicates with the very outdated ntwdblib.dll library). There are several other issues with this as well. As a result, clients such as Crystal must use a more generic ODBC driver (p2sodbc.dll). That works fine, but why doesn't MS provide a current NATIVE driver to work with SQL Server 2000? Where can I get a NEW ntwdblib.dll to install?

I believe Lutz is right. You are using PHP, right? Any MySQL?
Some RDBMS systems provide ways of linking database table records to each
other via foreign keys and others allow you to create triggers that are
performed by the database server when certain actions happen.
MySQL does not. They believe the application programmer should take care of
those application pieces.
So, if you're using MySQL, do the select statement first with the join, then
loop through the results and perform the update.

[PHP-DB] How to Insert Database Information into an E-mail
I am working on a rideboard and I am trying to figure out how to take information from a mysql database and place it in the e-mail I am trying to send out. Basically I want the e-mail to look similar to this: Name: John Doe Phone: 555- State: New York and so on. Anyway the mail function in my php script looks as follows: mail($emailwanted,$SubjectWanted,$BodyWanted,From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]); The $emailwanted is the address to where I am sending the e-mail. The $SubjectWanted is the subject of the e-mail. The $BodyWanted is the body and this is where I want to insert the information from the database in the format described above. I know how to get information from the database and print it out though I want $BodyWanted contain the information as above. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Re: [PHP-DB] Is ODBC now the Native interface for MS-SQL7/2000 ?
Technically, it is not the dblib interface that limits you to 255 character varchars. TDS (tabular datastream, the on the wire protocol) version 4.2 (the version used upto SQL Server 6.5) is limited to a single byte size field and thus 255 characters (0 represents NULL). The problem is that MS seems not to support dblib at any other protocol revision that would support it (7.0, 8.0). So, yes, ODBC or OLE-DB would be the only support way of accessing large varchars. Part of the problem resides in the fact that TDS 7 and above ships data in unicode (UCS-2) and converting to single byte representation for dblib is a pain. The one workaround I know of is to issue your query like SELECT convert(text, mycol) FROM mytable that forces the large varchar to a text datatype and allows you to pull it from TDS 4.2. Under Unix you may use FreeTDS where we allow you to use dblib with TDS 7. But that's a story for another day. ;-) Brian On Sun, 3 Feb 2002, Oliver Cronk wrote: After looking at the newsgroup microsoft.public.sqlserver.odbc I came across the follwing piece of information - anyone know if it is true?

RE: [PHP-DB] FIle Uploading to database
Hello!!! You can do something like this $pat = array(#, @, *, , %, @,$,',`); $w= '_'; $pic_name2 = str_replace ($pat, $w, stripslashes($pic_name)); $query = INSERT INTO Travel_Design (Tavel_Design, Design_Name, Season, Date, name, filesize, filetype ) VALUES ( '$Tavel_Design', '$Design_Name', '$Season', '$Date', '$pic_name2', '$pic_size', '$pic_type'); exec(cp '$pic' '/images/$pic_name2'); The First part is for taking out certain characters. The Second is for inserting the data...Including the File parameters. The Third part is the command to cp the TMP file where it needs to be...with the file name of $pic_name2... All you're storing is the Pictures Name, Size, and Type And you would do something like this for the img tag... ... echo (td bgcolor=white valign=middle colspan=2p align=centerimg src='images/$data-name' width=180 height=249/p/td/tr\n); ... $data-name is the mysql field for the Picture Name.. I use mysql_fetch_object for retrieving my data...I'm sure it would work for mysql_fetch_array and mysql_fetch_row.
