So unless the Jet Engine is lying or is buggy then you have an incorrectly 
formed query.

 can anyone help me?

Nobody can help you unless you post your query.

Re: [PHP-DB] Storing images in MySQL table

2003-02-19 Thread Corne' Cornelius
Milan,

The only disadvantage i've had of storing images in DB instead of 
Filesystem, is that when you use a PHP script to output the image to a 
client browser, MSIE doesn't always accept a suggested filename so it 
might try and save it as your-script.php?img=2.

Other then that, keeping images in DB is a lot easier since you don't 
have to keep your DB in sync with Filesystems ie. Deleted records in DB, 
but images still exist.

day($dbdate);
month($dbdate);
year($dbdate);

Am I missing something ? Is there anyway to accomplish the above ? or I
will have to store these three values separatly in the database rather than
as a date.

 


yes, you are missing it.  

you need to do the opposite.  first read this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

and everything will become clear...

btw, if the current date is jan 1, 2000, then

$day =  date (d);
$month =  date (m);
$year = date (y);

echo $day;  //  would return 01
echo $month;  //  would return 01
echo 4year;  //would return 00

[PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array and extract() with LEFT SELECT

2003-02-19 Thread Baumgartner Jeffrey
I'm having a problem when I use mysql_fetch_array and extract() following a
left select query. As an example...

$query = SELECT id,LEFT(fluff,80) FROM sometable;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('message');

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result){
extract($row);
echo P . $id . :  . $fluff . /P;
}

would echo the $id, but there would be nothing for $fluff. However, if I
select only 'fluff' from the MySQL table, I get the full text for $fluff. I
am reluctant to SELECT the entire fluff text from the table and shorten it
in PHP  as that seems inefficient to me - (but correct me if I am wrong).

I expect the solution must be dead easy, but I can't find it or figure it
out.

Many thanks,

Jeffrey

RE: [PHP-DB] multiple checkbox selection for search form

2003-02-19 Thread John W. Holmes
 I need some assistance here...
 I am toying with a search form that will allow the user to select 3
 options from a set of checkboxes to search by (eg.)
 
 [[ Select any 3 type ]]
 
 [ ] option1   [ ] option2   [ ] option3
 [ ] option4   [ ] option5   [ ] option6
 [ ] option7   [ ] option8   [ ] option9
 
 what I would like to do is to allow then to select only 3 options
 then search the database for the 3 options selected.

Name all of your checkboxes the same, with an [] on it. 

input type=checkbox name=option[] value=option1 Option1
input type=checkbox name=option[] value=option2 Option2
etc...

Then, you'll have a $_POST['option'] array (or $_GET) when your form is
submitted. 

if(isset($_POST['option'])  count($_POST['option']) = 3)
{ //perform your search }
else
{ echo You must select between 1 and 3 options.; }

For some reason I suspect that it is equally hard to provide a decent ODBC

 wrong).
 
 I expect the solution must be dead easy, but I can't find it or
 figure it
 out.
 
 Many thanks,

Hi there everyone,

I have the following 2 dates (FOr example):

19-02-2003 
21-02-2003

How can I easily find out how many nights there are between the 2 dates?  For example, 
the above would be 2 nights as the 21st would be the checkout date.

I have the use the format about as that is how the info is given to me for me to parse 
via PHP.

Thanks

 I guess this will work:
 
 $start = 19-02-2003;
 $end = 21-02-2003;
 
 // Split the strings into day, month, year
 list($sd, $sm, $sy) = split(-, $start);
 list($ed, $em, $ey) = split(-, $end);
 
 // Create unix time stamps for the start and end date
 $start_sec = mktime(0, 0, 0, $sm, $sd, $sy);
 $end_sec = mktime(0, 0, 0, $em, $ed, $ey);
 
 // Calculate number of days
 $num_days = ($end_sec - $start_sec) / 86400; // 86400 secs / day

Do NOT store images in a DB, the overhead kills performance.  If it's a tiny app
with very little traffic, the fine.  Otherwise, store images in the filesystem.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Final Date Question :-)

2003-02-19 Thread Chris Payne
Hi there :-)

Basically what I mean is I have an orderform for rooms.  THey can select the
date they arrive and the date they leave, but if they leave on a different
month when the price is higher, the last day or however many will be a
higher price, what I need is to not only calculate the flat price, but also
take into account if their stay goes over a period of time when rooms are
more than they are at other times of the year.
So, they could book monday - friday, monday thru wednesday could be $50, but
it needs to check and see if any of the dates - in this example - fall on a
date that the prices are higher, so in this example thursday and friday
would be $80 a night whereas monday thru wednesday would be $50.  It's hard
to explain :-)

OK. I guess you have to check all the dates, then. You could do it by
starting with the first day, get the timestamp for that day
(mktime(0,0,0,m,d,y)), and then you can add 86400 (secs per day) to
this and check each day consecutively using e.g. the getdate()
function. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php)

Something like (not tested):

// ...
$current_timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$start_m,$start_d,$start_y);
// ...
for($i=0;$i$num_days_of_stay;$i++){
  $this_date = getdate($current_timestamp);
  // $this_date now contains all the info you need
  // Now, check for month, day of week etc. and update as needed
  // ...
  $current_timestamp += 86400;
}

[PHP-DB] Re: question in ADODB

2003-02-19 Thread Philippe Saladin
 I found the following code on the internet. I'd like to know that what I
 need to do, if I want to use the actually Access file with out the DSN,
how
 to use the Microsoft Jet?
 thx

 -- code 
  include(adodb.inc.php);
  $db = NewADOConnection('mysql');

Look at the adodb manual : http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_manual
$db = NewADOConnection('access');
(Microsoft Access/Jet. You need to create an ODBC DSN)
or
$db = NewADOConnection('ado_access');
(Microsoft Access/Jet using ADO. Allows DSN-less connections. For best
performance, use an OLEDB provider.)

Philippe
