Re: Re[2]: [PHP-DB] Table locking
Hi... I want to say some words about the Table Locking problem. I had a problem something like this one, I find solution for this by locking only the item that will updated. I added two areas one that has a value 0 or 1 giving it is currently used by someone, and second time it is started to use, default 0. When someone trying to update the item, first area has the value 1 and the second has the current time. After update completes, ifrst has the value 0, and second also 0. So if someone tries to update the area first system will chack and if someone is updating the item it will not give permission for this. Also it will chack the time if update is out of time (ex:more than 15 minutes) it will reset the time section and will give permission to update this item. This will provide people to see all other table elements ather then the updated. It worked for me... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think one row will satisfy, namele a timestamp last_update. If you generate a form for the user to update the values of the current record, just add the timestamp as a hidden value. If the user submits the updated values compare the submitted last_update with the value in the database. If they are equal, perform the update (and change the value for last_update). If they are not equal, somebody else has changed the values in the meantime and the update should not be executed. If you are looking for other synchronization techniques you should have a look at the algorithms by Dekker and Peterson etc...

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Hold System
In the example of Bob, Mary and Barbara that I gave in my last post.
If Bob cancels his hold and I reset date_held for mary to the current
date, so that she has adiquite time to place her student. If I do
that this will put Barbara into the #1 position because she has now
put a hold before Mary.
With this beig the case, would the best solution be to recursively go
through the others holding the student(Mary and Barbara), and set
Mary's date_held to now, and Barabara's date_held to a minute after (a
time which has most likely has not occurred yet) Mary's.
I'd simply go by your date_created (and I'm assuming that's a timestamp
of some kind with minute or second granularity). Leave that to the time
the record was created. Then, by definition, the #1 position is
always:
SELECT * FROM hold_tracker
WHERE STUDENT_ID = {whatever} AND valid = 1
ORDER BY date_created ASC
LIMIT 0,1
No need to update anybody's record except Bob's (when it is expired or
cancelled), and Mary's (to indicate when her time window opens).
Barbara's record shouldn't need any sort of touching whatsoever. No
touchy!
Unless you meant date_created to be the date they created the firm
booking,
not the date they placed the request for a hold. In which case you
might
substitute 'id', since it will number everything sequentially by order
of receipt anyhow.

[PHP-DB] Re: Restrict account access to single user
In other words, how do we prevent two users from using the same password to access the same account at the same time? There are a few strategies I'd consider... each has plusses and minuses. 1) Lock to one IP. Keep a table with the most recent IP address, and the most recent access time. Any requests coming in within (x) minutes of the last request, but with a new IP address are blocked. Downside, people with rotating IP addresses (doesn't AOL do this?) will be virtually unable to use the system. Also, people who switch connections in less time than (x) minutes will have to wait for their login to expire before re-connecting, unless they explicitly log out. 2) Lock to a GUID in a session variable. Keep some sort of GUID in a session variable open with the logged in user's session. Tag that user's account with the GUID (or even, I suppose, with the session identifier?) and the last access time. If a new request comes in with a different session identifier, within a (x) minutes of the last request, block it. Downside, people who switch connections (or who close and reopen their browsers) in less time than (x) minutes will have to wait for their login to expire before re-connecting, unless they explicitly log out. 3) Prevent flip-flops. Choose either of the above two methods, and if the user's data changes, track that in a table which tracks the 3 (or 5, or whatever) most recent distinct connections. If a PREVIOUS connection attempts to interact within a certain time window, lock out one or both for a certain period. Advantage - allows a user to recover from an inadvertent disconnection gracefully. Disadvantage - malicious users who manage to somehow steal the connection information could deny service and can inject transactions until the existing connection attempts a new action. I'd probably go with 3, but it is more work. Very curious to hear what others are thinking, though. -P -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP-DB] LAST_INSERT_ID?????
Scott,
I typically use PHP's mysql_insert_id() function on a result. For example,
the following snippet from a function I use:
snip
$result = mysql_query($sql) or
die(mysql_error());
if(!$result){
$evNew = -1;//set evID to an impossible value in case the
query fails
}else{
$evNew = mysql_insert_id();//if the query succeeds, return
the id of the new event
}
return $evNew;
/snip
Works like a charm.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Restrict account access to single user
They are all good suggestions, Tim's is probably the most sophisticated, but it's inevitable that usernames and passwords will escape. On top of this I'd add a weekly count of user logins, so that the users in effect buy a given amount of accesses each week. If you're really serious, you will have to be somewhat brutal with your users - change the password, make it a difficult to remember combination, and do it often enough that they know you mean business. We've been fighting with this for four years, and there's no perfect solution.
