I don't use BLOB fields. You try it and let me know ;-)


  3) Install phpMyAdmin on both machines.

 How do i replicate 2 mysql db:s with phpmyadmin?

Have you actually installed it yet? It's pretty straightforward and 
self-explanatory.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: security/setup question: php3 script contains db password, but scriptmust be readable by nobody: any solution?

2002-04-11 Thread Peter Lovatt

The only answer I know is in the php config, which you may not have acces
to. php can be configured to run as the owner of the script that calls it.
This means only your scripts can read your files. This is not the default
option, and most ISPs just run the default, so your password is available to
anybody skilled enough to find it.

should help

 you could always use a sepeate file and and then use include

 it...

  Hello,
 
  I use apache with php3 and mysql to get some data out of the mysql
 database
  like probably lotsa people do. The php3 file contains the password,
 because
  it must be able to connect to the database with a valid password. This
 file
  also needs to be readable because nobody (the user of the apache
 webserver)
  must be able to read the file. At least i think this is the
 reason because
  without a chmod o+r it doesn't work. There are ca. 200 users on this
  machine.. so i would like to avoid the possibility that other users get
 this
  password. Are there any solutions? I already checked the faq and i
 couldn't
  find it.
 
  Thanx in advance,
  Dries Verachtert

 my problems is that in one if statemant I find a piece of text and need

 Is there a way to set variables from within functions/if statements so

 Do a COUNT * on each table and total the results? Although the results
 may actually not mean much depending on your DB structure. Or do you
 really mean count records in a _table_?

Ok so this really doesnt have anything to do with MySQL but I thought this
might be a good placeto ask.
Ok heres the problem. I am constructing a Message Board with MySQL and php
(was usingASP) and I dont want the user to reload/repost data. For example,
say the
user goes to post amessage, after they hit the post button it takes them to
a temp page
saying that there post wassuccesful with a link to go view the post. The
problem arises if some one
decides to hit thereload button. Because of the way I have the posting page
setup it will
reload the page and postthe message again! doh!
Anyways, has anyone come up against a similar problem and found a
way around it?

Thanks in advance.

[PHP-DB] Best way to not display frozen users?

2002-04-11 Thread Leif K-Brooks

I run a gaming website.  Sometimes, I have to freeze users for one thing or
another.  But, since there are lots of tables involving users that get
displayed to other users, they still get seen.  One solution to this seems
to be to have an array of frozen users in the header, which I check when
displaying user-related things.  Is this the best solution, and if it is,
what is the best way to do it?  Thanks!

[PHP-DB] how to bring down the mysqlserver without getting an inconsistant db?

Hi there,

I am wondering what would be the best way to update a db. I would like to
bring down the server, but I am afraid to get
an inconsistant state of data. What if someone is just registering on
another db? Is there a way to flush and lock the whole db not just some
tables?

Thanx,

PS: what would be the best way to exchange data on a running server? For
example... a db containing geodata should be updated, but the user db should
be running ok

Re: [PHP-DB] how to bring down the mysqlserver without getting an inconsistant db?

2002-04-11 Thread Andrey Hristov

Have in mind this :
LOCK TABLES locks tables for the current thread. UNLOCK TABLES releases any locks held 
by the current thread. All tables that are
locked by the current thread are automatically unlocked when the thread issues another 
LOCK TABLES, or when the connection to the
server is closed.

[PHP-DB] Upload Multiple Images

2002-04-11 Thread Brandon Paul

Hi all...kinda new to PHP and MySQL...anyhow, I have created the following
table:

CREATE TABLE images (
  id smallint(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  image_title varchar(75) default NULL,
  image_src varchar(150) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

I have also created a form that allows me to upload one image at a time, but
I would like to be able to upload SEVERAL images at once.  Directory for
images is:

./_images/(filenames)

There are also some subdirectories.  What can I do to make it so that I can
upload all of the images in a directory (or at least more than one) without
having to type each one in and submit it?

Your help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

RE: [PHP-DB] Upload Multiple Images

2002-04-11 Thread Beau Lebens

brandon,
you can only ever upload 1 file per file input box, but you can have more
than one of these input fields per form. you might have something like

input type=file name=file1
input type=file name=file2
input type=file name=file3

that way when you are processing (assuming PHP4+) you can use something like

$HTTP_POST_FILES[file2][name]

blah blah

hope that helps.

you will have to check, but i think the MAX_FILESIZE and post_max_filesize
or (whatever they are) variables apply to the *whole* form, so if your
MAX_FILESIZE var is set to 2meg, and you have 3 files uploading, then their
total must not exceed 3meg (i think)

HTH

[PHP-DB] Numeric value are coming in as halfs

2002-04-11 Thread eat pasta type fasta

I'm using PHP to read data from a file and dump it into an array,
then I'mfeeding that array into mySQL
transfer happens fine except that some the numeric values are halfed

currenly I'm simply tweaking the output by going:

(int) $player_data[16] = $player_data[16] * 2 / 10;

the /10 is needed because it also adds a zero to the end (f*cking guy)

this is the script:

for ($i = 1; $i  34; $i++){
$order = fgets($fp, 100);
$order_exploded = explode(=, $order);
fwrite($this_fp, $order_exploded[1]);
echo($order_exploded[1] . br);
trim($order_exploded[1]);
$player_data[$i] = $order_exploded[1];

the fwrite() part is just a remainder of old testing (acts as write 
confirm)
the data comes in 'field=value' format hence explode and sh*t

THanks in advance.
