[PHP-DB] Not updating certain fields in same row
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to update a record for a login system while leaving
certain fields untouched if they arn't changed, and am running into
issues.
Basically what I want to do, is say I have these fields:
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field4
I update Field1 and Field3 but not Field2 and Field4. What I want to
do is change the values in Field1 and Field3 without touching the
values in Field2 and Field4.
I have tried this code:
$tab = \t;
if (!isset($_POST['txtLoginName']) || empty($_POST['txtLoginName'])) {
$loginName = mysqli_real_escape_string($chpwpostlink,
$_POST['txtLoginName']);
}
else
{
$loginName = $tab;
}
which works the fields that I've changed, but if I don't submit a
value in the form it sets the field to be blank in MySQL. Which is
what I am trying to avoid. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP-DB] Not updating certain fields in same row
I usually pre-populate the form with the values that are already in the
record:
(... using PEAR's MDB2 package -- http://pear.php.net/packages/MDB2 )
$query = SELECT * FROM member WHERE username = ' . $_POST['username'] .
';
$result = $db-query($query);
$member = $result-fetchRow(MDB2_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
foreach ($member as $key = $value) {
$$key = $value;
}
form name=member_edit action=?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ? method=POST
input type=hidden name=_submit value=1 /
input type=text name=fname value=?= $fname ? /
input type=text name=lname value=?= $lname ? /
input type=text name=email value=?= $email ? /
/form
then when they submit, the record is just repopulated with whatever is in
the form when they submit. ie -- only fields they changed get changed in
the db.
if($_POST['_submit']) {
$update = UPDATE member SET .. blah, blah...
}
that way, none of the fields are blank unless they were in the db blank to
begin with. and you can add client or server-side validation to prevent
that.

Hi Matt,
That's what I'm doing for most of the fields, but how would you handle
a password that has been MD5'ed and includes some variables to make it
harder to crack? :)
ie: $PW = md5($salt$password);
I can't undo the MD5 and I don't really want to... Just want to be
able to change it rather then view what it is.

RE: [PHP-DB] Not updating certain fields in same row
You can't use the function empty() because as soon as the form is submitted,
the value of an empty field in the form, is a blank in the variable in your
script, so basically your password field is NOT empty, it has a value, a
blank.
So you need to test your password field to NOT to be empty, also use a
second password field, a confirmation field, so:
$querystring=your SQL statement here;
If (passwd1 is not blank) and (passwd1==passwd2) then
$querystring.=passwd='passwd1'
If not
You keep intact your first SQL statement without touching the passwd
field
My two niquel cents!

Re: [PHP-DB] Not updating certain fields in same row
I encrypt my pw's the same way but I usually don't include the password on
an edit my info page. I create a separate change password screen where
I force them to type in their old password and then type a new one twice. if
the encrypted, salted old password attempt does not match what is in the db,
the form doesn't validate and the password is not changed.
the lost password page is a different beast altogether
but again, the password field is omitted from the edit form AND the update
statement so it is never touched in this process.
that goes for any other field you don't want the user to be able to edit too
-- just don't put it in the form or the update and they can't mess with it.
I usually have an is_admin (yes/no) field and don't want the user to
change that of course.

I might be way off here. Php.net tells me that:

string **mysql_real_escape_string** ( string $unescaped_string [,

I can't imagine that $_POST['txtLoginName'] is a resource identifier
(which is the actual connection to your database).
Also, this condition:
[quote]
if (!isset($_POST['txtLoginName']) || empty($_POST['txtLoginName']))
[/quote]
is true if and only if no form element by the name txtLoginName existed
on the previous page - and on top of that, empty() does the same as
isset() and apart from that also checks whether, if the variable has
been set, it has a value (0, , NULL or FALSE) that evaluates to FALSE.
I don't understand why you'd want to fill the username with a tab
either: \t.
Maybe you can post your full code?

changed, don't touch it in the database. The main issue I had was with
the password field for updating a password since Im not going to read
a MD5 hash back to the user to be edited.
Maybe you can post your full code?

the actual query I'm using is this:

I'm
looking for is if loginPassword hasn't changed... don't clear the
contents of it. if it has changed, then update loginPassword
Okay, since you won't only want to rely on isset() here (in case
someone accidentally hits a key into the field), try this:
// NOTE: This assumes prior sanity checks and cleansing
// of variables, and is written like so to avoid breaking
// of the query due to mail client-enforced line breaks.
$chpwsql = UPDATE current SET ;
$chpwsql .= customerName='.$customername.',;
$chpwsql .= loginName='.$loginName.',;
if(preg_match('/^[a-z0-9]{5,16}$/i',$PW)) {
// If it's between 5-16 case-insensitive alphanumeric
// characters, it's all good. If you want to allow symbols,
// simply modify the regexp accordingly.
$chpwsql .= loginPassword='.$PW.',;
}
$chpwsql .= email='.$email.',;
$chpwsql .= adminLevel='.$adminLevel',;
$chpwsql .= WHERE Record='.$Record1.';
$chpwsql .= LIMIT 1;

Re: [PHP-DB] Not updating certain fields in same row
Jason Pruim wrote:
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to update a record for a login system while leaving
certain fields untouched if they arn't changed, and am running into issues.
Basically what I want to do, is say I have these fields:
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field4
I update Field1 and Field3 but not Field2 and Field4. What I want to do
is change the values in Field1 and Field3 without touching the values in
Field2 and Field4.
I have tried this code:
$tab = \t;
if (!isset($_POST['txtLoginName']) || empty($_POST['txtLoginName'])) {
$loginName = mysqli_real_escape_string($chpwpostlink,
$_POST['txtLoginName']);
}
else
{
$loginName = $tab;
}
which works the fields that I've changed, but if I don't submit a value
in the form it sets the field to be blank in MySQL. Which is what I am
trying to avoid. Any ideas?
$fields = array('Field1', 'Field2', 'Field3', 'Field4');
$update_fields = array();
foreach ($fields as $form_field_name) {
if (!isset($_POST[$form_field_name]) || empty($_POST[$form_field_name])
|| $_POST[$form_field_name] == '') {
// ignore the blank/empty fields
continue;
}
$update_fields[] = $form_field_name . =' .
mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST[$form_field_name]) . ';
}
if (!empty($update_fields)) {
$query = 'update table set ';
$query .= implode(',', $update_fields);
$query .= ' WHERE recordid='x';
}
If you're just ignoring password fields, you have a confirm password box
too don't you?
You can also use that:
$password_one = $_POST['password'];
$password_confirm = $_POST['password_confirm'];
if ($password_one == '' || $password_confirm == '') {
// skip adding the pw field to the update query
}

[PHP-DB] numeric string to single digit array
Can anyone tell me how how to convert a string of integers into an array of single digit integers. i.e. 1223123 into ['1','2,','2','3','1,'2','3'] ? When I retreive a column of single digit integers I end up with a long string of numbers. I think PHP is seeing this as one whole number and therefore is not splitting or exploding it. I hope I am wrong in my thinking and there is a simple solution, though I am not seeing it. Can anyone help me?

[PHP-DB] Re: **{SPAM}** [PHP-DB] numeric string to single digit array
Richard, Someone might have a quicker/better way, but what about: ?php $numbers = '1223123'; $numberarray = str_split($numbers,1); print_r($numberarray); ?

$string = '12345';
$array = array();
for ($i = 0; $i strlen($string); $i++) {
$array[] = $string[$i];
}
I'm sure there's probably a better way but this is simple and easy to read.

From a database or something? What does your code look like?

Re: [PHP-DB] Table optimization ideas needed
Yes, Index can help a lot. But actually there has been five indices. The table takes 1.4G space while the indices take 2.3G.

That's the table which has more than 20 million records.
And what query are you running?
What does:
explain your_query_here;
show?
I can see indexes on at least owner_id, visitor_id, last_time and
status, but at least one of those is across multiple columns ('MUL').
Can you show us the index definitions:
show indexes from table_name;
or
show create table table_name;
and just include the indexes at the bottom.
