[PHP-DB] Mysql MaxDB Support?

2004-03-11 Thread Carolyn Longfoot
Does PHP natively support MaxDB? I have not seen any mention of it in the
manual anywhere. If not and anybody uses ODBC could you kindly post the
configuration?

Cheers!

2004-03-11 Thread Ricardo Lopes
MaxDB is based on sapdb, try searching for that you probably get better
results because sapdb is older that maxdb. In the near future maxdb will
support the mysql protocol, so i guess you could then use the mysql
functions with maxdb.

Hi Everyone. I have MySQL databases on various servers, I'd like to know 
how people automate backups.

I imagine there would be lots of scripts and products that do this, I've 
tried a few, but I guess I'll have to write something myself to do it. 
I'd be very interested in learning from others who can share 
experiences/methods. Something simple is all I need :)

I would ideally like to backup to a separate Linux server. All the 
servers are in different remote locations and bandwidth isn't an issue.

Please feel free to send me your ideas or scripts off list :)

Thankyou!

[PHP-DB] Pulldown value not passed to next page

2004-03-11 Thread Karen Resplendo
What is wrong with this picture? I build a pulldown for selecting page size(number of 
rows in one page). If page is new, it gives the default (selected) of 15. For some 
reason, when Previous/Next are clicked, the value passed is still 15 even though the 
pulldown says something else (5 or 15 or whatever). Down below my pulldown code is the 
code to call the Next/Previous pages (just the important part)
 
**
Pulldown built here
**
   //use rcan select page size from a pulldown
 $myArray = array('5','10','15','20','25','30','35', '40');
$numElements = count($myArray);
 If(!$pagesize)
  {
   $pagesize=15;
  }
echo SELECT SIZE=1 NAME='pagesize';
/*loop through filling  pulldown*/
  for($i=0;$i=$numElements;$i++){

[PHP-DB] Impact of MySQL Queries

2004-03-11 Thread Marcjon Louwersheimer
I have IIS 4.x and MySQL running on the same machine. So do queries use
up bandwidth? Does it matter if I have 20 queries per page? Will that
slow it down if many people started using my site? Currently only I, and
some friends for testing, use it.

Hi Karen,

Depending upon the method used for your form, you should be able to find the value in either $_GET['pagesize'] or $_POST['pagesize'].

RE: [PHP-DB] Pulldown value not passed to next page

2004-03-11 Thread Hutchins, Richard
Karen,

I'm assuming that when you say:
 For some reason, 
 when Previous/Next are clicked, the value passed is still 15 
 even though the pulldown says something else (5 or 15 or 
 whatever)

you're drawing that conclusion because 15 images (or whatever) are displayed
on the resulting page regardless of what you select in the pulldown. Does
the actual URL say 15 or does it say something else (e.g. 20)?

If the URL shows that pagesize=15, but the resulting page displays 20
images, it's possible the problem is that you're not checking the actual
value passed in the URL.

Your current code:
 If(!$pagesize)
  {
   $pagesize=15;
  }

Should read:
If(!$_GET[pagesize]){
$pagesize=15;
}
Else{
$pagesize = $_GET[pagesize];
}

This is assuming that you have register globals turned off (I think that's
right). Because, otherwise, each time the page loads with your current code,
$pagesize would never be set and would always default to 15.

Hope this helps. 

Rich

Re: [PHP-DB] Impact of MySQL Queries

2004-03-11 Thread Miles Thompson
Think of bandwidth as the volume of data returned by the web server to the 
browser, not machine cycles.
MySQL will use machine cycles, but there's more to it than that. For 
fastest response the fields you are running the query against should be 
indexed.

What pushes you to 20 queries per page? That seems a little excessive, as 
each of those is a hit to the database. Are the fields indexed? Are they 
cascading queries, the second depending on results returned by the first, 
the third upon the second, and so forth?

Could you handle your returned result set by getting more data and grouping it?

More information is needed to answer your question properly.

Re: [PHP-DB] Impact of MySQL Queries

2004-03-11 Thread Cal Evans
If both services are running on the same machine then no, the number of 
queries per page will not affect bandwidth. It will however, affect you 
processor usage. Without having seen your code, I can only make 
generalizations. 20 queries is a bit excessive but it's still manageable 
if the server is not being hit too heavy. To answer your question 
directly, yes, it will start to slow down as you have more people using 
the system.

I would suggest you consider the following.

1: Use ADODB as your abstraction layer.  It has built in query caching 
and could dramatically improve page speed as well as lower processor usage.

2: Take a hard look at your code and make sure you actually need 20 
queries on a page. Would a single query be possible and then spin 
through the result set?

3: Consider moving to a Linux box. (Sorry, had to be said) Without the 
overhead of a GUI, your processor will be more available for mysql and 
your web server.

4: Make sure you have the proper indexes set. If you do need 20 queries, 
20 fast queries are better than 20 slow queries.  :)

HTH.

[PHP-DB] Sort Order Description

2004-03-11 Thread kc68
How can I have the explanation above a php table on a sort come out as 
something different than the sort coding?  For example, the sort line 
below results in the following text above the sorted table: Data Set 
Sorted by (ssa1202.total/vapall.vapall)*100 in Descending Order.  I'd 
prefer simply Data Set Sorted by Percent in Descending Order.  I tried 
naming the sort field as Percent but that didn't change anything.

echo tddiv align='center'font size='3'bPercenta

My problem is, the PHP docs and API mention that ODBC is built into PHP 4.x

   ODBC function reference is present at

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Sort Order Description

2004-03-11 Thread kc68
I'm not clear on your question.  The code I quoted, set forth below, has 
the text that ends up above the table.  The following introduces the 
series of column headings with sort statements (of which the initial code 
is one):

# write out title
if ($sort_order == asc) {$sort_title = Ascending;} else {$sort_title = 
Descending;}
echo pbData Set Sorted By $sort_field in $sort_title 
Order/b/p\n;

# write out table heading
echo table width='75%' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' 
align='center' bgcolor='#99'\n;
echo tr\n;

The following is at the beginning of the script:

# get sort order (if any) passed to script
$sort_field = $_REQUEST['sort_field'];
if (! $sort_field) {$sort_field = (ssa1202.total/vapall.vapall)*100;}
$sort_order = $_REQUEST['sort_order'];
if (! $sort_order) {$sort_order = desc;}
Thanks.
