Re: [PHP-DB] results on multiple pages
Are there any people who know the way to display results on multiple pages
if using Oracle database (preferrably using PHP Oracle finctions and not
Oracle8 functions)?
Best Regards,
Maxim Bubnov

Why don't you let mysql sort and limit the records for you? That's easy
enough. Just keep track of where you are in the database and select only
the records that you need.

Subject: [PHP-DB] results on multiple pages
I am retrieve records from my MySQL table and I want to display the
results
12 per page along with allow for a sort. I was just send a query to the
table with a limit each time, but it didn't sort all the records, so I
need
to load all the results into a table to sort then display. Here is what I
have for code
?php
Mysql_connect(localhost,user,pass);
mysql_select_db(countryloft);
if (!$nextpg) {
$i = 0;
} else {
$i = $i + 12;
}
$prodTbl = mysql_query(select * FROM countryloft WHERE category LIKE
'%folk%' ORDER BY displayorder);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($prodTbl);
$itemsPerPage = 12;
echo table;
$mycolumn = 1;
$maxcolumn = 3;
file://loop table until end of results
for ($i=$i; $i $itemsPerPage; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($prodTbl);

[PHP-DB] Limitations on sending text to a database via text area forms
I am attempting to build a Web site that will allow users to create simple text documents that will be stored in a database. I had been assuming I could use a textarea form and have PHP pass it to a mySQL database. However, when I attempted to send a 393 word (2,216 characters) text block, the browser (I.E. 6) refused to move. I got no error or other indication of trouble. When I cut the text down under 275 words (1,531 characters), the form was allowed to be submitted, stored and retrievable Is this the limit on passing textarea form fields? And more to point of this mailing list, what alternatives might I use to circumvent this limit? I need to keep the creation of these documents as simple as possible. Anything more than copying and pasting is going to cause trouble more me. John Hughes -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] creating a userdatabase with groups in PHP/MySQL
Hello, I have to make a loginprocedure for our intranet at my work. I have to create a userdatabase with users and usergroups ( like Windows NT/2000 User Manager and Novell). Before I start with this job I wonder if maybe somebody created already something like this in PHP/MySQL and I can just use it. (This user database is not the security from MySQL! but just a seperated userbase wich will look to a authorisationtable to determine WHO can enter WHAT part of the Intranet.)

could you perhaps save the contents directly into a file, then read the file into the database?

[PHP-DB] dates in MYSQL
This may be a stupid question but I am a complete newbie. I am trying to automatically drop events from a noticeboard when the date has passed.

[PHP-DB] Images and MySQL - please help
Hi, I am trying to do this: - I have an image stored in database 'A' - a php script should load this image, and stamp it with a watermark - then the php script should save the new image (with the watermark) in database 'B' ... How can I do this? I guess somehow I have to buffer the output, manipulate the buffer by adding the watermark, and then insert the image into the database. Is this possible? Any ideas? Thanks!

[PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Re: Cross DB application
Manuel, Prepared queries in practice are the same as what John Lim calls in this document http://php.weblogs.com/portable_sql as binding, except that he doesn't seem to be aware that it is the same thing, so he says that only some database can use it! :-) Metabase handles prepared queries with ALL supported databases. Some databases such as MS Access/MySQL do not support binding. So even if you support MySQL, you only get emulated binding in MySQL, and not the performance increase you might have expected. I hope that is clearer. Last but not least, PHP ADODB is an attempt of John Lim to develop something of his own copying ideas and names from everywhere and cash on it by selling PHPLens. He copied Microsoft ADODB to appeal better to Windows users. But since ADODB was not meant specifically for portable Web development, he still needed to copy features of Metabase like auto-incremented integer sequence values and limiting the range of rows returned in select queries result sets. Some of these things that were copied had their names changes to not look so obvious but they are still copies of Metabase features because only Metabase provided them before. Manuel, you have a habit of saying nasty things, and you set a bad example by doing so, because you are a good programmer who should be a leader in the community. I wish i were smart enough to have copied from you, but unfortunately I am too old and stupid. Most of the techniques you mention i learnt before i even knew PHP, let alone before had the pleasure of knowing you :-) Instead I learnt from people who have built some of the finest database technology around- the MySQL people who developed the limiting range of rows with SELECT LIMIT (that is why the function is called SelectLimit in honor of them), and auto-incrementing stuff from the Sybase/MS SQL Server designers. I cannot resist mentioning a forgotten database abstraction system which I learnt a lot from, developed by Apple, called DAL. A fantastic product that is sadly gone, but not forgotten. I have no problems saying that I developed ADOdb because I needed a database class library to implement phpLens. The reason is simple, there is no other database class library for php that had sufficient functionality to meet the sophisticated data requirements that I had. Frankly I would have used Metabase or PEAR DB or something similar if it was mature enough. As to the deficiencies of Metabase and PEAR DB, i don't think a mud-slinging match is appropriate, but I believe in my work, and think it stands very well compared to other libraries. Yours sincerely, John ps: ADOdb is released under a BSD-style license, there are no restrictions to its use. http://php.weblogs.com/ADOdb -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Manuel, Manuel Lemos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Most of the popular database abstraction packages support prepared queries, except for your PHP ADODb. So, think about this before you keep throwing sand to the eyes of the users that do not know better, may be you understand the point of catching up on what everybody else is doing for a long time. If you read the ADOdb source, you would know it is untrue. We support prepared queries, and emulate them if the database does not support it. The reason for this is that you had the dumb idea to spam all the lists you could remember with the forged claim that ADODB was faster than every other database abstraction because your convinient benchmarks showed that. Tomas Cox rewrote PEAR DB after the benchmarks were published to speed it up. We even worked together to improve bits of PEAR DB. You just moan about how unfair the benchmarks are. Since your database abstraction could not beat others on real abstraction features you used that to drag users to your package to push them the commercial tool that you sell and requires ADODB to run. Visit http://php.weblogs.com/adodb-cool-applications for a long list of applications using adodb with multiple databases. None of the apps except the first link use our commercial product, phpLens. I think that pretty much refutes your statement. That was the lowest Microsoft-like marketing trick - trap them into your Windows clone database abstraction OS to sell them your tool for which you have no competitor because nobody else is doing anything like that for your own abstraction later. I interviewed to work at microsoft in 1989, but as a techie, i would have made microsoft bankrupt if they had let me run their marketing for them :-) Of course you may claim ADODB is faster than any other abstraction package, but that's because it does not abstract data type conversion to make user applications portable. Actually it does, but only for dates, because I find that most other types can be easily handled because PHP is a very good language. Char and varchar and numbers map easily to string and float/integer, and so forth. I have told you this before. It is the same as stating that driving a motocycle naked and without helmet you will drive faster than clothed with the helmet on. It is not the same thing, but unfortunately for the victim users that have fallen for your argument they did not notice that your abstraction can only be faster by doing less, meaning providing less portability support. Of course. Unneeded portability that is not used by most users is of no interest to me. You disagree. That is fine. The code is there for people to read. Let them judge for themselves. John, as a marketeer you still have a lot to learn before you realize that you can't fool everybody! Next you will release ADODB XP the one that makes hidden connections to your site to track what the users are doing! hehehe :-) Don't worry, nobody will sue you for the abusing the monopoly of applications for your PHP ADO DB! :-) Manuel Lemos Manuel, you might not believe me, but what you are saying will make people shy away from working with you in the future.

Re: [PHP-DB] Dates in MYSQL
Alex,
enterdate text NOT NULL
eventdate text NOT NULL
First, I think I would change the above to a date or datetime or one of the
other date time fields used by mysql instead of text fields.
Second I don't think you really need to use TO DAYS and now. This is what I
do.
use php date function to get the current date,
$todaysdate = date(Ymd);
then do the query,
$query = SELECT id, eventheading, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M %Y) as
evdt FROM notices WHERE eventdate = $todaysdate ORDER BY
eventdate;

notices WHERE TO_DAYS(eventdate) = TO_DAYS(now()) order by
eventdate';
...
When I echo ($eventdate) I get nothing. Not even an error.
The problem is that
$eventdate = $row[eventdate];
(which doesn't need the around the whole of the RHS (some would put
them around eventdate), BTW)
doesn't tie up with:
DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M %Y)
Recommend you change them to:
DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M %Y) AS evdt
and
$eventdate = $row[evdt];
See how the SQL and PHP tie together?
Now you need to reconsider the other $row[] assignments.

[PHP-DB] odbc versions
Hi. I'm looking at compiling one of the odbc function sets into php on my Mac OSX machine (I eventually want to be able to talk to MAS90 on a Windows machine -- if that's feasible). I'm finding the ODBC situation a bit confusing though. Should I use iodbc or unixodbc? Any suggestions? And will a database driver for one work with the other or are they incompatible? Thanks. -Steve -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and OCI NLS behaviour
Or if that is not available for you to edit you could always try just executing a statement to alter the session once a database connection is established. This method is a little slower. How slower? Very very slower? Can you give me an aproximation in seconds? As you will have to execute the alter session statements every time you make the connection. Ok. The SQL is something like: alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE = 'AMERICAN' NLS_TERRITORY = 'AMERICA' Can i specify the characterset on the alter session? Sorry for the question...but the Oracle docs that i have read, just say what is the sintaxe.

Alex,
enterdate text NOT NULL
eventdate text NOT NULL
First, I think I would change the above to a date or datetime or one of
the
other date time fields used by mysql instead of text fields.
Second I don't think you really need to use TO DAYS and now. This is what
I
do.
use php date function to get the current date,
$todaysdate = date(Ymd);
then do the query,
$query = SELECT id, eventheading, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M %Y) as
evdt FROM notices WHERE eventdate = $todaysdate ORDER BY
eventdate;

Tried the following as suggested - Still no dates showing
$query = ' SELECT id, eventheading, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M
%Y)as
evdt FROM notices WHERE TO_DAYS(eventdate) = TO_DAYS(now()) order by
eventdate';
$result=mysql_db_query($dbname, $query, $link);
if (!$result) { echo( mysql_error()); }
else
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
$entername = $row[entername];
$eventdate = $row[evdt];
$eventheading = $row[eventheading];
$id = $row[id];
Database table notices as follows
id int NULL autoincrement
entername text NOT NULL
enterdate text NOT NULL
eventdate text NOT NULL
eventheading text NOT NULL
eventbody text NOT NULL

Hi Alex,
Got my select statement to work as follows:
$query = ' SELECT * FROM notices WHERE TO_DAYS(eventdate) =
TO_DAYS(now())
order by eventdate';
=well done!
However the TO-DAYS calls do seem a bit OTT.
Please post the schema for tbl:notices - specifically the datatype for
eventdate.
Now trying to get the date more user friendly and tried:
$query = ' SELECT id, eventheading, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate, %D %M
%Y)FROM
notices WHERE TO_DAYS(eventdate) = TO_DAYS(now()) order by
eventdate';
...
When I echo ($eventdate) I get nothing. Not even an error.

$eventdate = $row[eventdate];
(which doesn't need the around the whole of the RHS (some would put
them around eventdate), BTW)

[PHP-DB] drop list inserts
I have the following to pages( just testing them at the moment ):
? mysql_connect(host,,);
mysql_select_db(music);
echo form name='add_album' method='post' action='test-album-add.php';
$getlist = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM music_artist ORDER BY
artist_name ASC);
echo Artist Name : select name=\artist_name\\n;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getlist)) {
echo 'option value='.$row[id].''.$row[artist_name]./option\n;
}
echo /select\n;
echo brAlbum Name : input type='text' name='album' value='$album';
echo input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit';
echo /form;
?
and
?
include(../mainfile.php);
include(../header.php);
OpenTable();
mysql_connect( host, , );
mysql_select_db( xoops );
$query_id = mysql_query(INSERT INTO music_album VALUES
(NULL, '$music_artist.id' ,'$album' ,NULL ,NULL));
echo $artist_name and $album has been added to the
database.;
CloseTable();
include(../footer.php);
?
What I am trying to do is insert the id of the artist they selected in
the first page into a second table. At the moment all I get is 0
inserted instead of the artist id from page 1.
Could someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP-DB] drop list inserts
Hi Barry,
First of all,
$query_id = mysql_query(INSERT INTO...); is wrong. That line will just
assign the resultset of the whatever mysql_query() function returns to the
variable $query_id .. Get rid of $query_id and just have mysql_query(INSERt
INTO ); See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php for
this..
Second of all, in your INSERT INTO query you are trying to insert the value
of a variable called $music_artist.id which doesn't exist anywhere. I think
you meant to insert $artist_name instead???

RE: [PHP-DB] drop list inserts
The $music_artist.id is the id from the first page. ( database = music ,
table = music_artist id ). This is what I need, a drop down list of the
artists in table 'music_artist'( I've got this), I want the id of the
artist they selected in the drop list to be inserted into the
table 'music_album' as $artist_id.
