[PHP-DB] php problem

whatever it is that he is trying to do - I doubt he wants to put 'OR's
in the character string, besides which AFAIK you can't do something like:
SELECT description from cpProducts where category=39 OR 47 OR 48 OR 172;
(possibly the SQL above will actually return all rows because any number
greater than zero will evaluate to true - e.g. ($x = true || 1) is
always true regardless of the value of $x, I am assuming the same
general logic goes for SQL or'ing)
it should be:
SELECT description from cpProducts where category=39 OR 47 OR 48 OR 172;
Jason, read on for more (possible) help (well I gave it a shot but I
don't think it will be any help, sorry):

I'll assume that your table has a field named 'category' - otherwise the
statement should throw you a big error :-) BUT is it a character data
field (i.e. does it contain text)? AND do you actually have rows where
the value of the category field is '39 47 48 172' - in order to get rows
returned when running your example query the value needs to match this
string EXACTLY.
Given the fact that using mysql control center give you the desired
result the above probably was a waste of time typing. Given that fact
the only thing I can think of is that you have a extra space floating
about (but I can't see it in the code your provided)
does the output of mysql_error() provide any feedback?
(what an odd problem!)
When I run the same query in MYSQL Control center or Query Browser, no
problem. I use this function template for my SELECT statements.
Please let me know if there is something missing from the code.

Re: [PHP-DB] str_replace question
whats likely happening is the sql is being built on the fly. and he's malformed it somewhere... A neat little trick would be to create the initial part of the statement with a predefined where clause based on some record state. For instance, we use a record_deleted field, since we don't delete data.

[PHP-DB] Update / Delete / Insert quandry
I am working on update areas for my end users. This is where they can go in and update and / or edit information in their profile. The problem I'm having a hard time getting my hands around are those areas where they can have multiple entries. One of the tables allows for a user to enter up to 5 choices. The table would look like this: RecordID TypeID 101 3 101 5 101 9 .etc. So I can do a straight update - where if they wanted to update the example above and change the 3 to a 12 that works fine. What if they wanted to leave TypeID: 3 but delete 5 and 9. Or another scenario, if they wanted to leave the existing ones but add a fourth record. Is there a way I can handle all this in one fell swoop? I thought of deleting all current records first and letting user make all new choices. Not sure if this would work well if many users though. Any suggestions ? Thank you, Stuart -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

be wrong?

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query to mysql database returns emtpy data, butQuery Browser shows records
No the category field is varchar(250) and uses spaces to parse each element
within the field.
The database is an osCommerce hybrid - not my own. The values within the
category field go from one number to an X set of numbers, separated by spaces.
This is making development rather difficult and painful.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Trying to connext to MySQL with PEAR
Hi all I am new to PHP and am trying to connect to mysql for the first
time.
I get activity on the mysql monitor when I run it, but get the following
error.
DB Error: connect failed
The lines of code are:
require_once( DB.php );
$dsn = mysql://.DB_USER.:.DB_PASS.@.DB_SERVER./.DB_NAME;
echo $dsn;
$isPersistant = TRUE;
$db = DB::connect($dsn, $isPersistant);
if ( DB::isError( $db ) ) {
die ($db-getMessage());
}
The constants are properly defined and passing through to this page
(checked
with echo), the database is created, the user has an account, and the
account has rights to do all funcitons on the db. Any thoughts on what
might
be wrong?
Thanks
Jason

Re: [PHP-DB] Trying to connext to MySQL with PEAR
In my (very) limited experience with PEAR::DB, I've found that
getMessage() doesn't give very verbose error messages :).
So if I'm really having a problem, I do all 4 of these:
echo 'Standard Message: ' . $db-getMessage() . br\n;
echo 'Standard Code: ' . $db-getCode() . br\n;
echo 'DBMS/User Message: ' . $db-getUserInfo() . br\n;
echo 'DBMS/Debug Message: ' . $db-getDebugInfo() . br\n;
At least for me, this gives me a lot more useful information (DB
1.6.8, but PHP 5.0.3). Hope this helps.

On Wed, 5 Jan 2005 11:58:59 -, Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Happy new year folks! The titlemight make this seem like an easy to answer question However here's the complicated bit (well for me anyway). In my text file that is written to by the users in a chatroom it looks like this: nickname||color||what the user is saying||user how can i make it so that if they have a private message when they press update it pulls the message from the text file and displays it in the frame but also deletes the text? You should be using a database for this, it makes things so much easier. That being said, here's one way to go about the text file version: Open the file, read through it line by line. As you read it, push the lines into an array. If you find a private message for the user, store that in a variable, and do not push it into the array. Finish reading the file. If there's a private message, you've got it in a variable, and you can overwrite the private message file with the array you've stored, which is all of the current private messages minus the one you're about to display. Please note, this does not scale at all, especially in the fast-paced world of chat rooms. You will likely end up with file locking problems if you proceed with the flat-file method. Also, how can i make it so that if in a drop down menu they select the word everybody it goes to a file called messages.txt and if they select user or user2 or user3 from the list it writes to private.txt is this at all possible? user and user2 etc arent hardcoded it's pulling the names from a list of online users. Are you talking about appending messages to a text file? In that case, you can have the dropdown submit with the message, and in the PHP code have a case for 'everybody' where it writes to messages.txt, and if it's not 'everybody', write it to private.txt with the username that was selected from the dropdown as part of the row.

If I add or die (...) after the function call, it does not show. I'm kinda lost on what it could be at this point.

Perry, Matthew (Fire Marshal's Office) wrote:
I am using PHP 4.3.1 and running Apache Server and MySQL.
The following question is probably only related to PHP.
Here is the problem:
I am passing the following string from one form to another:
../create.php?dest=Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID=$ID
Here is the actual code:
form
action=../create.php?dest=Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID
=?echo $ID;? method=post enctype=multipart/form-data
name=form1EMPLOYEE
When I view the source it comes out as expected:
form
action=../create.php?dest=Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID
=82
method=post enctype=multipart/form-data name=formEMPLOYEE
But after it goes to the next page it turns into this:
../create.php?dest=Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=update
Everything up to and after the '' disappears!!
that because PHP sees your URL as having two GET vars:
dest=Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=update
ID=82
the ampersand is the default name/value pair seperator.
try using urlencode() [and urldecode() when you actually want to
redirect to that 'dest' url] on the redirect string when passing it
along in the URL (or form field)
e.g.
$action =
'../create.php?dest='.urlencode(Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID=$ID);
and if that doesn't work try replacing the '' char with something else e.g.
$action =
'../create.php?dest='.str_replace('','$$',Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID=$ID);
and then before your redirect to that url reverse the replacement e.g.:
header('location: ' .
str_replace('$$','',Employee/menu_handleemployee.php?action=updateID=$ID));
exit;
BTW: 2 dollar signs may not be the best choice of chars to use.
another way of tackling the issue is by looking at the contents of
$_SERVER (a auto superglobal var, just like $_GET, $_POST etc) - try:
print_r($_SERVER);
you'll be surprised what kinds of useful items are contained in that array.
while you're at it try:
print_r($_GET);
looking at the output of that will probably help you understand where
the 'ID' bit of the redirect url went.
RANT
print_r() is your friend USE IT!!! OFTEN!!!
sing this as a reminder When in doubt print it out
[ (tm) Wong Coding Industries ;-) ]
/RANT
The goal of this code is to send the redirect address to the form that
modifies my data.
I want variable dest to be used to dynamically redirect the page.
I have tried the following to fix the problem without avail:
1) I tried saving the variable in other ways such as text fields in the form
itself.
2) I tried addslashes() (which works well with similar problems related to
', etc.).
3) I tried adding \ before
4) I danced around my computer and threatened to pull the plug.
you forgot to wave the dead chicken around your head!
None of these worked!
What is it about '' that throws everything off with PHP variables? It
doesn't seem to be a problem with HTML.
its the default request name/value pair seperator.
This is exceedingly difficult to research online because '' is excluded
from most search engines automatically.
it's called an ampersand. which might help further searching.

Re: [PHP-DB] Stopping display of DB errors

When I run a query using Interbase and if an error occurs, the error

OK Todd, listen the fuck up :-)
you are missing one of the greatest things about the interbase
extension, parameterized queries, try doing it like this:
$fulldate = date(m/d/Y H:i:s,time() + $offset);
$stmnt = 'INSERT INTO SESSION (SES_ID, SES_EXPIRE) VALUES(?,?)'
$sthdl = @ibase_query($stmnt,$dbh, array($sessionid,$fulldate));
do it like that and you have just made SQL injection hacks an
impossiblity :-), and stray quotes in text strings being entered into
the DB will never again break your queries.
suck on that MySQL.
$sthdl = ibase_query($stmnt,$dbh); -- displays error regardless
$sthdl = @ibase_query($stmnt,$dbh); -- shouldnt displays error
if ($sthdl) ibase_commit();
else print(Error: . ibase_errmsg() . br);
return $sthdl;
};
BTW: the interbase extension was rewritten for PHP5, I don't know
whether this was backported to PHP4 - the guy that did it is a friend of
mine though so I'll ask about that - anyway the reason that I mention
this is is that I don't have your problem and I use PHP5 for my
firebird/php (the interbase extension is also used for firebird)
having said that I have a custom DB class for interbase/firebird which
uses the following construction:
$res = call_user_func_array('ibase_query', array_values($args));
this is to do with parameterized queries (the number of args is
obviously variable).
for anyone who reads this far know this:
Todd is a superior human being cos he uses a superior DB ;-)
MySQL is a single-celled organism next to the space-faring superbeing
that is firebird (ok interbase too, but that aint open source)
(flame on baby!)

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query to mysql database returns emtpy data, but Query Browser shows records
Sorry I was in a hurry for lunch.. I meant category='39 ' OR category

But if it is a character string '39 47 48 172' that is required then
double check the number of spaces that are required against those that

I'll assume that your table has a field named 'category' - otherwise
the statement should throw you a big error :-) BUT is it a character
data field (i.e. does it contain text)? AND do you actually have rows
where the value of the category field is '39 47 48 172' - in order to
get rows returned when running your example query the value needs to
match this string EXACTLY.
Given the fact that using mysql control center give you the desired
result the above probably was a waste of time typing. Given that fact
the only thing I can think of is that you have a extra space floating
about (but I can't see it in the code your provided)
does the output of mysql_error() provide any feedback?
(what an odd problem!)
When I run the same query in MYSQL Control center or Query Browser,
no problem. I use this function template for my SELECT statements.
Please let me know if there is something missing from the code.
Thanks.

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP query to mysql database returns emtpy data, but Query Browser shows records
Graeme - you were moving in the right direction. Since the data in the field
is varchar(250), the only thing that changes is the fact that the last
number is 3 digits. Other page queries were also affected with 4 x 2 digit
numbers in the category field (eg. '37 48 49 52').
By adding '%' between each number and using 'LIKE' as opposed to '=', the
queries through PHP return the correct value.
I think is very strange as 3x numbers work fine when using spaces (' ')
between each criteria (as in '37 48 53').
The change would look something like:
SELECT description from cpProducts where category like '39%47%48%172'
There is something between each element, but PHP can not seem to handle the
third empty space.
Thanks to all for your help and ideas!
