Re: [PHP-DB] PHP/Apache not totally closing MySQL connections

First, dirty details: I am running MySQL 3.23.33, Apache 1.3.19, and PHP 4.0.6 under an RH system on kernel 2.2.19. PHP running as a module in Apache. Good, pretty complete details. I am having a little quirk with persistant connections with MySQL. The connections themselves work; However, after a while when the connections time out, they don't seem to be closing all the way. For instance, right now if I do a netstat, among some other connections I get: Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address tcp1 0 burner.com:4848 burner.com:mysqlCLOSE [munge-alert!] This is strange as the normal output from netstat should look like this Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp0 0 localhost:46764 localhost:imap4sESTABLISHED tcp0 0 localhost:imap4slocalhost:46764 ESTABLISHED Yours seem to miss out at least to headings, who knows what else is missing? and there is no such state as CLOSE, so I'll assume for the rest of the email that you're refering to CLOSED. This has been there and been in CLOSE state all day. It was there yesterday. It will be there tomorrow. MySQL has terminated the connection as far as it cares (if I mysqladmin processlist, no connections show up.) Indeed, if I shut down the MySQL server, the socket remains. Only if I shut down Apache will it ever go away. So, if left going for awhile, tons of these dead sockets will pile up. nope, if you leave it going for awhile nothing out of the ordinary happens, the socket will be reused (when it's time is up). the reason it doesn't go away until Apache is closed is that this is apache's socket, and not MySQL's, as the forreign address is the :mysql. Before I post a bug report, anyone have any ideas? Yes, read netstat(8). and I quote: CLOSED The socket is not being used. if the socket was dead you'd either see CLOSE_WAIT The remote end has shut down, waiting for the socket to close. LAST_ACK The remote end has shut down, and the socket is closed. Waiting for acknowledgement. (or even a time_wait, but only for a limited time, unless you've got some nifty problems with loopback.) What is the problem here really? MySQL isn't chewing resources, Apache isn't chewing resources, the fact of the matter is that you're seeing closed sockets, sockets that will be reused when apache+php reconnects to MySQL.

I've found manuals for both, but they both give only a little bit of information, and refer to the other website for more information... or is there anyone who can give me a simple example, where the page just renders all the records? and one where the page renders all records where name is Jhon Thanx 2peak click on links at php.net and look under tutorials (or similar) there you should find a couple of tutorials and guides to get you started, it simpler than you think...

Re: [PHP-DB] continuously view database updates.

For demonstration purposes I would like the new updated table in my Database to be shown each time it is updates without me having to go to the command prompt window and type in select * from members; for example! I will have the command window open for the demo. Thanks Kev. Live display of a mysql table isn't possible AFAIK, but you could fake it through scripting og programming on your preferred platform, just do a select * from somewhere statement every second (- put favorite interval there) and display it the way you like it to be displayed... PHP could do it, perhaps not the most effective solution, but certainly an easy solution... use a persistant connection and HTTP-REFRESH or something, unless you're dumping heavy work on the DB this should be fine, if we're talking high-performance time-critical and or high-load stuff here, you might wanna look at somethingelse... -- Andreas D.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL for Billng Question

You have 3 columns TOTAL_HOURS | UNPAID_HOURS | LAST_PAID when you are paid, update TOTAL_HOURS to add UNPAID_HOURS and clear [delete, or set to zero] the UNPAID_HOURS column... LAST_PAID would be type = timestamp, or date. You could get pretty elaborate, and mySQL can do a TON of cool tricks with the numbers... depends what your uses may be. If you are using it to generate statements it may be worth more time than simply "keeping track" I picked up SAM'S learn SQL in 10 minutes. I really liked it, considering that I don't need to use a whole lot of mySQL functions, it's a wonderful little reference and I have learned some neat things real fast. I understand that it is far from "complete" but i feel it is worth it for me [starting out] olinux I'd rather go for something like one field for date, one for hours worked, one for paid and one for date paid, this way you could keep track of _when_ you worked and didn't get paied, it's much easier and better in the long run than just having the number of hours they owe you... (this way you could calculate number of hours you work per week etc.). -- Andreas Landmark / [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you are too low a lifeform to be able to learn how to use the manual page subsystem, why should we help you?"
