[PHP-DB] newbie question
hi,
i am relatively new to php and new to this email list.
i have what i think are fairly simple questions about using mysql and
php. i have done some research and can't seem to find the answer i
need.
# 1. i want to set the date format to display dates in a format other
than the standard mysql -mm-dd format. i have tried using the mysql
DATE_FORMAT but i can's seem to get it to work...
ideally i'd like to display dates as 2 digit date followed by three
letter month abbreviation and leave the year off completely...
example: 13 feb
# 2. i want to hide entries that are newer than the current date AND
hide entries older than 365 days.
i apologize if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. if
someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
here is the url and code (minus the login info)
http://www.broadcastatic.com
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "[loginnamehere]", "[passwdhere]");
mysql_select_db("[databasenamehere]",$db);
// display individual record
if ($date) {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM [tablenamehere] WHERE date=
'$date' ",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
// do not use now printf("\n", $myrow["date"]);
printf("hosted by %s\n", $myrow["dj"]);
printf("broadcast on %s\n", $myrow["date"]);
printf("%s\n", $myrow["location"]);
printf("--> %s\n", $myrow["entry"]);
printf("mp3 link\n",
$myrow["date"]);
include("archive/index/$date.php");
} else {
// display list of shows by date
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM [tablenamehere] WHERE 1 ORDER
BY 'date' DESC",$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// display list if there are records to display
do {
printf("%s
%s%s\n",
$PHP_SELF, $myrow["date"], $myrow["date"],
$myrow["date"], $myrow["dj"], $myrow["entry"]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
// no records to display
echo "Sorry, no records were found!";
}
}
?>
THANKS!

If you are running it out of a DB, limiting the results to result 1-10 or 91-100 is pretty fast; caching results seems like more of a headache to me, and depending on how loaded your DB is, not worth the effort. If the query takes 3-5 seconds, then either your DB is configured wrong (no indexes), or your SQL is not written well, or you should consider some sort of DB query caching.

One way that I have found - but never used is... http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/ It can cache result sets in a file for later use. You can then use It does a whole bunch of other stuff too.

RE: [PHP-DB] Paging large recordsets
If you are not opearating in a stateless environment, then you could use a cursor. The web is a stateless environment, and therefore the record set needs to be cached either to disk or memeory. The other alternative is to rerun the query for each page request. Using disk space to store query results for the purpose of paging over the web is commonly done by search engines, and even some database engines use disk space for cursor implementation.

IMO It is bad to store lots of data in session variables.
The $_REQUEST var for the post/get should be enough.
URL: search.php?page=10
code:
$conf['maxresultsperpage'] = 10;
$ref = mysql_query("select count(*) as c from table where subject like '%foo%'");
list($cnt) = mysql_fetch_array($ref); // will assoc work here? dunno, didn't test
echo "Displaying ".($conf['maxresultsperpage']*$_REQUEST['page'])-9." through
".($conf['maxresultsperpage']*$_REQUEST['page']).".";
$ref = mysql_query("select subject, data from table where subject like '%foo%'
limit ".$conf['maxresultsperpage'].",
".($conf['maxresultsperpage']*$_REQUEST['page'])-10);
// loop through array returned from mysql
echo "Next";
I think. It might need some tweaking, but you get the idea (I hope).
No need to store variables here.

I could just be really off here and not understanding what I have read. I know PHP stores the sessions as text files.

You could create an array containing only the unique identifiers of all the records, and then store it into a session variable.

First, do a query to find out how many rows. select count(*) from table where (your where clauses for the query); That's your # of records. Then do: select count(*) from table where (your clauses) limit ($pagenum*$itemlimit)-$itemlimit), $itemlimit; so if your $itemlimit = 10 items per page, and you are on page 3, it would be ... limit 20, 10 page #1, limit 0,10 etc > Also, how to deal with printing?

Hi Alain It is very safe. The ODBTP service has been running on a production machine that is also running SQL Server 2000. It has been running without failure since 12/15/2003, and has served over 1.5 million connections. A single ODBTP server is being used to connect to several MSSQL 6.5, MSSQL 7.0, MSSQL 2000, FoxPro and Access databases. Your admin can go to http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en and http://www.ushmm.org/namesearch/ to view example sites that are using ODBTP.

I think you just have to 'alias' the result count, so that ORDER BY knows what to use to do the ordering - it needs a column name, but an alias is equivalent to a column name.

mb_http_output("EUC-JP");
mb_http_input("EUC-JP");
mb_language("Japanese");
My question: How can I show correctly the Japanese characters from a SQL
Server DataBase?
Thanks very much!

Re: [PHP-DB] Optimize Table
For the overhead i can't tell you anything, probably you will have something in the mysql manual. About the locking i supose that your users will be able to select from the table, but wont be able to do updates, etc.. while the optimization ocurrs. The database will probably put those instruction on hold till the optimization ends, só you probably wont even have to care with that. But the optimization is an expensive operation (consume many resources), so the best it to do it in a time when the operations on the database are minimal or none. PhpmyAdmin or any other php script can be scheduled, they only execute when a client request the page. But you can schedule a job in you operative system to do that cron / at for *nix/linux, windows also have schedule managers. Hope it helps.

I am using phpMyAdmin-2.5.4 to maintain my database and the program showed me that my overhead for some tables is over 5000. Can i know when would be good for me to optimise my tables? For example, once I have an overhead of 1000, I should optimise my tables? Another of my concern is that, when I optimise tables, I read that my tables will be locked. Does it mean that my customers cannot do a select statement on the table? In this case, can I schedule phpMyAdmin to optimise the table at a certain time, say 3am when there is very little traffic??

[PHP-DB] MySQL query question
i want to search the table called comments, and i want to count the number of times artid appears. then i want to group them all together, but then i want to order them by most appearances to fewest. so if artid 1 appeared 40 times and it was the most, i want that to be retrieved first. if artid 3 appeared 38 times and it was second most, i want that retrieved second... etc and so on. this code ive given is wrong, but i know that it has to be something like this or that im close. if any of you could help me id really appreciate it. if theres a shortcut with this code that would be great, otherwise i have to run my php around in a ton of different mysql queries trying to find out which has the most and have it ordered from highest to lowest. thank you for your help. ive tried mysql.com too and i cant find a thing there. plus the mailing lists for mysql, no one ever responds! thank you php list, you are my only hope. ;P -james $mostcomquery = "SELECT artid, COUNT(*) FROM comments GROUP BY artid ORDER BY (COUNT(*)) DESC LIMIT 5";
