RE: [PHP-DB] Implementing search in a database driven website
I found this PDF 'quick reference' quite useful as I am just starting to
learn how to use regular expressions.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Implementing search in a database driven website
Thanks, Robby. This worked. However I wasn't able to get any
documentation on the siU parameters used in the command as in
$string= preg_replace('style[^]*.*/style'siU,'',$string);
Any pointers.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL backup software
You were on the right track with mysqldump. Windows doesn't have a direct cron equivalent - but it does have the ability to schedule tasks. Write a short batch file or equivalent (you should be able to whip one together in no time with a little googling) and schedule it to run. I doubt you'll find a tool that does exactly what you want that's any more advanced or configurable - there's just no need. That said - who knows, people make all kinds of software to fill what others perceive as unneeded.

It appears as if the php_mysql.dll module has problems loading the libmysql.dll file. Setting the PHP dir to the system path var did NOT work for me. However, these options did: a) copy the bundled libmysql.dll to the windows system32 folder. b) OR, copy the bundled libmysql.dll to apache's BIN folder. c) OR, copy the bundled libmysql.dll to apache's root folder.

[PHP-DB] More help with restore server
I just seem to be full of it, questions these days. Here is another situation I find myself in. I did a rm -rf /var/* Yeah, yeah I know. So getting beyond the oops factor, I have been recreating the server. I installed a new harddrive as /dev/hdd0. I installed the old harddrive as hdd1. I did a new installation of 7.3 on hdd0 and copied the old /home and /etc to hdd0. I will be upgrading to newer versions of rh and then probably migrating to fc2 or white box linux. For now, I wanted to recover my machine to it's previous state. It is our DNS, email and web server. I have the email server back, the dns back, am working on the web site. I was just finishing up and restoring a php/mysql calendar and I got an error call to undefined function: mysql_connect() I googled and it seemed to suggest I needed some updates or php or mysql packages installed. I then d/l'ed from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/i386/ (which i assume are the last updates for 7.3) to hdd1 and I just tried to rpm -U mysql* and php* I get dependency errors like php = 4.1.2-7.3.6 is needed bye php-imap-4.1.2-7.3.6 so i rpm -U php-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm and I get package php-devel-4.1.2-7.3.6 is already installed so I rpm -q php and i get php-4.1.2-7 Something seems obviously wrong.

RE: [PHP-DB] More help with restore server
Without thorough investigation, I can't be sure - but it looks like you have a packaged development version (e.g. cvs or for compiling libraries against) of php installed, and it's conflicting with allowing a non-development version. You would probably be best served by actually looking at the available packages and installing the ones you want, instead of attempting to install php*.

[PHP-DB] Re: MySQL backup software
There must be a dozen solutions here; mysqldump and cron come to mind but you haven't been very specific with your needs. Is your database server Windows or Unix? Can you write a simple script (or modify an example) to fit your needs? What are you going to back up to? Another server? Tape? A different disk on your server? The same disk? (bad idea on so many levels). Why are you backing up? Disaster recovery? History? Data integrity? How big is the DB(s)? How often to you intend to back up? Or if you did crash and burn and had to go back to a back up how much data (how long) could you tolerate loosing? It's a kind of interesting discussion and the only wrong answers are not to back up and perhaps to back up to the same disk if you want to be able to recover. But if you answer these questions we'll give you some options.

[PHP-DB] Finding the highest number in a column?
Hi there everyone, I am working with a very complex system where not all numbers are assigned 1, 2, 3 etc so there could be a row with the number 1 and then the next row could be 40 and so on Is there a way with PHP and MySQL to find out what the highest number is in a particular column easily when the numbers are auto-incremented so arent necessarily one after the other? I would really appreciate any help on this as its really bugging me. Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
