[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Problems w/ goto
[snip] Thank you with your excellent help in the past. Here is another puzzler I am trying to write a program that can have two(2) independent forms in one PHP file. When I run the code below [from PHP - A Beginner's Guide], to which I have added a second form, it freezes. Without the goto statements, it runs. When it does run, it displays both forms on one Web screen. What I desire is for the first form to be displayed, the data entered and then the second form displayed. In an actual, not test program like this one, the data in the second form would be dependent on the first form. What did I do wrong? [/snip] You used GOTO. In this case I would recommend using something like jQuery to 'hide' one form until the other form is complete. PHP has sent the output to the browser already, both forms are there and display when you remove the GOTO. GOTO should never be used like this. GOTO should never be used. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Sum function for multiple recordsets?
I'm getting a health insurance quote engine going... http://www.insuranceshoppers.net/getquotes/short-term-health.php ... it sends me an email with the info, and enters the info into a leads table in mysql. Then I want to have it show the rates (on a new page using $_GET) from a table I have setup with the rates of multiple companies. Since the rates are based on age and gender and it could be 1 or 2 people plus the possibility of adding children (the total rate is just the sum of each persons individual rate), I've been working on making a recordset for the primary applicant, the spouse, and children and telling it to add them together. (that seems like the easiest way, but I'm a newbie) My question: is there a php function or a way I can create the 3 recordsets in Dreamweaver and tell it to just add them up and display the results in a repeat region?

[PHP-DB] Update keeps failing with php/sqlite
Hi all,
I made a toy database. Two tables are students (a collection of student
info) and message (private messages I want individual students to read).
The message table is indexed by a student's social security number.
student
last, first, ssn, address, city, state, zip, email
message
msg1, ssn
I'm trying to update msg1, unsuccessfully. Everything *seems* to go
perfectly. The $_POST variables exist and hold what I think they should
hold, the SQL looks OK. I checked the sqlite website, and UPDATE is
indeed supported. I've been scratching my head a lot over this one:
The given code is (note My_Header() and My_Footer() just interject a little
HTML, like html and the like):
// We picked the class and student. Now display the current message.
//
if ( isset($_REQUEST['action']) $_REQUEST['action'] == 'editmsg' )
{
$handle = sqlite_open($_SESSION['dbfile'])
or die(Could not open database.);
$query = SELECT msg1 FROM message .
WHERE ssn = ' . sqlite_escape_string($_POST['ssn']) . ';
$result = sqlite_query( $handle, $query );
if ( sqlite_num_rows($result) 0 )
$msg = sqlite_fetch_single($result);
else
$msg = '';
My_Header(Messages);
?
form method=post action=? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
??action=submitedit
textarea name=msg cols=40 rows=8
? echo +$msg+ ?/textarea
pinput type=hidden name=ssn value=? echo $_POST['ssn']
?/p
pinput type=submit value=Edit/p
/form
?
My_Footer();
exit(0);
}
// If we're here, it's because we want to update the message in the
// database. This performs the SQL using UPDATE.
//
if ( isset($_REQUEST['action']) $_REQUEST['action'] == 'submitedit' )
{
$handle = sqlite_open($_SESSION['dbfile'])
or die('Error in query: ' .
sqlite_error_string(sqlite_last_error($handle)));
$query = UPDATE message .
SET msg1 = ' . sqlite_escape_string($_POST['msg']) . ' .
WHERE ssn = ' . sqlite_escape_string($_POST['ssn']) . ';
sqlite_query($handle, $query)
or die('Error in query: ' .
sqlite_error_string(sqlite_last_error($handle)));
Header(Location: . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ?action=chose);
exit(0);
}
?
Anything wrong with this code? I've tried to write as defensively as I can.
Thanks!

On Mon 27 Dec 04, 8:48 PM, S Kumar [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
Hello Pete:
However, in the case of checkboxes, I do not know how
to make variables out of them depensing on what user
selects. Say whatever user cheks in the checkbox,
that variable has to be searched in TABLE-C and
various other columns in that table. I am totally
clueless how I can capture what user checks as a
variable and incorporate into the SQL statement.
Hi Kumar,
I've never played with databases before 3 or 4 days ago, and maybe played
around with HTML forms a couple of times in my life. I'm still learning the
basics of SQL, so if you don't know something about SQL, I almost certainly
don't know it!
However, if all you need to know is how to access checkboxes in PHP... that
I've played around with. I wrote a sample program, check.php.
Sorry for the painfully obvious comments, but I wrote them for me just as
much as for you. :) I tried to write it as defensively as I know how, but
like I said, I'm just learning this stuff myself. Hope it's OK! :)
You should be able to generalize this to more than one set of checkboxes,
but if not, let me know and I'll whip up another sample program. Basically,
all the magic is in the name= parameter in the input tag. Use the same
name for things that related options. Use different names for different
groups of checkboxes (but put them all within the same form tag.
Note: I just realized that I used a for loop. I recall reading somewhere
that foreach is more efficient than for, so that may be one way to improve
this. Anyhow, here it is.
HTH,
Pete

[PHP-DB] Undefined indicies
Slightly off topic, I apologise.
Total newbie. In many php DB tutorials I've seen, it's recommended to set
register_globals off, and error reporting to E_ALL.
When I looked at my system, register_globals was enabled and error reporting
was set to E_FATAL. I changed them to the suggested values (off and E_ALL),
and all hell broke loose. Clearly, I must not be very good at PHP yet. ;)
First question:
register_globals is a matter of security, so that's definitely valuable to
turn off. Is setting error reporting really useful if my aim is to become a
better PHP programmer?
I'm thinking along the lines of lint/splint, where this line of code in C:
printf(hello world\n);
generates a useless warning because I'm not using printf()'s return value.
I'm wondering whether it's useful for a scripting language, like PHP, to
warn me when I use code like:
if ( $_REQUEST['action'] == 'foo' )
do_something;
when I don't access the URL with a ?action=foobar type request.
Should I change error reporting back to E_FATAL or is being this
compulsive about warnings good for me (and my security)?
Second question:
If being compulsive is good for me, what's the best way of handling
something like above? From browsing php.net, I've thought of a few ways,
like a controlled suspension of compulsion:
if ( @ $_REQUEST['action'] == 'foo' )
do_something;
or, lord forbid:
if ( isset($_REQUEST['action']) $_REQUEST['action'] == 'foo' )
do_something;
and also variations on a theme:
if ( array_key_exists('action', $_REQUEST )
$action = $_REQUEST['action'];
if ( isset($action) )
do_something;
Personal preference must play into this, but I'm wondering what more
experienced PHP programmers do. My code is riddled with this kind of thing.
Thanks (and sorry for the long winded / slightly off-topic post!)
Pete

[PHP-DB] php4 + sqlite - quoting stuff
Hi all, I'm a kinda-sorta newbie to php -- I basically just futz around with it because it's pretty cool. However, I'm brand spanking new to databases. Never did anything with them. I taught myself a little SQL because it looked fun to learn, but I just thumbed through some books. I never really used a database in earnest. Too difficult to set up, and my dual Celeron 333 is underpowered as it is without having an extra daemon running. Yesterday, I taught myself sqlite + perl, and that was a LOT of fun. But then I remembered I hate using perl for CGI, so today I started messing around with sqlite for php4. There's something I'm not groking about php's syntax. When I look at how you're supposed to quote stuff in sqlite for php4: sqlite_query( $handle, INSERT INTO course VALUES ( ' . sqlite_escape_string($termcode). ', ' . sqlite_escape_string($semester). ', ' . sqlite_escape_string($course) . ', ' . sqlite_escape_string($course_desc) . ', ' . sqlite_escape_string($college) . ', ' . sqlite_escape_string($reference) . ' ) ) or die(Error bravo in query: . sqlite_error_string(sqlite_last_error($handle))); it makes me want to cry. Php should be prettier than Perl, not uglier. We have single quotes, double quotes and a string quote function. How am I supposed to parse this? What's the purpose for all this quoting? And is there a _nicer_ way of doing this? Thanks!

[PHP-DB] RE: PHP meetup [CROSS-POST] Meet other PHP Developers in Your Area
[snip] No, it's not a dating service :) Want to meet other PHP developers in your area? Check out: http://php.meetup.com/ Pretty nifty idea... especially given the lack of user groups in the U.S. I thought for others who had not seen this I would post this. There is probably already a user group in your area if you live near a major city. According to the PHPusergroups.org web site [http://www.phpusergroups.org/groups.phtml?menu=groups] there 189 PHP user groups in 52 countries. [/snip] I have seen some users groups mentioned, which is outstanding. PHP Meetup is gaining lots of ground with 105 members at last check. Top 5 cities are... Manhattan (below 42nd St) (5 members) London, England (4 members) Ann Arbor, MI (3 members) Melbourne (3 members) Washington DC (3 members) [actually tied with Philadelphia, PA and Orange County, CA] And I finally saw another San Antonio member. Just want to keep this fresh in everyone's mind. If you know of other developer lists where php is discussed please forward this along. Thanks!

[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] dumping only selected records into another table
[snip] I have some data in one table which I have to move to another. No I thought of a mysqldump with a where clause.

[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Ho to write output of sql query to txt file?
[snip] I am trying to get only records out of a table mathing a query. This should be piped into a textfile. My problem is that I have to transmit this records to a new machine. So the output should be a kind of sql commands which I could run with phpadmin or similar to import them to the other db on the other machine. Is this possible? [/snip] from: http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/E/SELECT.html The SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE 'file_name' form of SELECT writes the selected rows to a file. The file is created on the server host and cannot already exist (among other things, this prevents database tables and files such as `/etc/passwd' from being destroyed). You must have the file privilege on the server host to use this form of SELECT. SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE is mainly intended to let you very quickly dump a table on the server machine. If you want to create the resulting file on some other host than the server host you can't use SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE. In this case you should instead use some client program like mysqldump --tab or mysql -e SELECT ... outfile to generate the file. SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE is the complement of LOAD DATA INFILE; the syntax for the export_options part of the statement consists of the same FIELDS and LINES clauses that are used with the LOAD DATA INFILE statement. See section 6.4.9 LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax. In the resulting text file, only the following characters are escaped by the ESCAPED BY character: The ESCAPED BY character The first character in FIELDS TERMINATED BY The first character in LINES TERMINATED BY Additionally, ASCII 0 is converted to ESCAPED BY followed by 0 (ASCII 48). The reason for the above is that you must escape any FIELDS TERMINATED BY, ESCAPED BY, or LINES TERMINATED BY characters to reliably be able to read the file back. ASCII 0 is escaped to make it easier to view with some pagers. As the resulting file doesn't have to conform to the SQL syntax, nothing else need be escaped. Here follows an example of getting a file in the format used by many old programs. SELECT a,b,a+b INTO OUTFILE /tmp/result.text FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '' LINES TERMINATED BY \n FROM test_table; HTH!

[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Ho to write output of sql query to txt file?
[snip] I did read on mysql.com and your article. Than I tryed to transfer the datasets. Export worked ok. The textfile contains the records. Import message: Query OK, 35 rows affected (0.04 sec) Records: 35 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 630 The warning already tells it. the datasets are totally empty. Only default of the columns is set.

[PHP-DB] what version of Oracle does php_oci8.dll support?
Good morning all. I'm a relative newbie to PHP, not to mention Oracle, and I need some help trying to get the two to talk together. My first question is in the subject: what version of Oracle does the php_oci8.dll library support? 8.0.x? 8.1.x? 8i? The reason that I'm asking is because I setup a new installation of PHP (v. 4.1.2) to use Apache (v. 1.3.20) and talk to Oracle (v. 8.0.6). (Just for completeness, my OS is win2000, sp 2.) If I use the php_oracle.dll, everything works fine. However, the moment that I include the extension=php_oci8.dll directive in the php.ini file, I get the following error when I start my Apache service: The procedure entry point OCILobClose could not be located in the dynamic link library OCI.dll Does this mean I can't use the php_oci8.dll functionality?

[PHP-DB] Newbie Question
Ok, I am still fairly new at PHP and MySQL also, so please bear with me. TASK: I have a client that wants to have job openings listed on their site and they want to be able to add, edit and delete the postings themselves. I would do this in flat-file format but there is the risk of that file size getting too large and slowing down the server. SOLUTION: I have created a MySQL database that will hold all the postings in a table called 'jobs' and have created a PHP form that will post this jobs into the db. PROBLEM: When I go to the PHP form and enter all of the pertinent job information, there is one specific field that will have to have carriage returns/line breaks in it between paragraphs. Everything is working except for this. Is there a way whenever the user presses ENTER, that either PHP/MySQL will convert this into a BR tag only when being displayed in a browser and not in the db?? Can anyone out there please help me with this? I am available off-list as well if it will be easier to pass code back and forth. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Re: [PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Newbie Question
Ok.I have it working half-way now.here is what I have so far:
===
PHP FORM (add_jobs.php - submits to the script below):
FORM METHOD=post ACTION=do_addjobs.php
TEXTAREA NAME=duties COLS=30 ROWS=10 WRAP=virtual/TEXTAREA
INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=Add Job
/FORM
===
===
PHP SCRIPT (do_addjobs.php - inserts into db)
?
if ((!$duties))
{
header(Location: add_jobs.php);
exit;
}
$sql = INSERT INTO jobs (duties) values ('$duties');
$connection = mysql_connect(localhost, , ) or die (Couldn't
connect to the server.);
$db = mysql_select_db(, $connection) or die (Couldn't select the
database.);
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql) or die (Couldn't execute query.);
echo BDuties:;
echo nl2br ($duties);
echo /B;
?
===
With the way I have this above, when it does echo nl2br ($duties); it
displays fine now -- thanks for that help so far -- but the problem now
(this may be normal, but I am not sure) is when I connect to the db and
select * from jobs; the db is writing the entries like this:
===
mysql select * from jobs;
++--+--++-+-+--+--++--+
| id | position | opendate | salary | appdate |
duties | examples | training | skills | benefits |
++--+--++-+-+--+--++--+

2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9 | test | test | test | test |
++--+--++-+-+--+--++--+
===
is this in fact normal?

[PHP-DB] MySQL read only?
Anyone know why a MySQL table is set to read only? I'm logged in as the root user of MySQL and I have checked the privalages of the root user in the MySQL table and everything is set to Yes and I'm able to add and delete users in the MySQL table. Here's what I did... I had a database on my Win2k machine and I just ftp'ed those files over to MySQL running on RedHat. I noticed that the permissions of the files on the RedHat box were different than the MySQL database so I changed the permissions on those files I ftp'ed over. But to no evail it still doesn't work correctly. Would it make a difference if I was using a earlier version of MySQL on my Win2k machine than on the RedHat machine?

[PHP-DB] easy db question
hello everyone- I'm running MySQL 3.23.27-beta with php 4.04pl1. What I am wondering is I have an auto incrementing field and if I delete all the entries in the table with this field the incrementing doesn't start over. For example, if I insert 6 records for the first time into this table the auto incremenator gets set to 6 for the last position. Now, if I go and delete all 6 of these entries and then insert 6 more after the deletion the auto incrementing starts off at 7 and goes through 12. I'm just curious if there is a way around this so that if all the records are deleted the auto incrementing field will start back at 1.
