Re: [PHP-DB] problem of transmiting variabl into another page?
Using the code below, when you click on the link for A it will go to
alpha.php?artist=A
In alpha.php, you should be able to query $_GET['artist'] to get the
letter clicked on. You could also check $_REQUEST['artist'] for the same
info.
Is that what you needed or are you having other problems?

Re: [PHP-DB] SQL Statement
Jimi,
PHP does not return an error because it knows nothing about valid sql.
It's just knows if it's a valid PHP statement. (which it is because
you've got the 's in the right place and a ; at the end. ) :)
It's up to MySQL to return an error.
As to your statement.
1: It's easier and valid in PHP to write it:
$sqlwrk = SELECT pk_phone_reports,
SUM(calls) AS total_calls,
date,
calls ,
fk_ph_num
FROM phone_reports
WHERE (pk_phone_number = {fk_phone}) AND
(date BETWEEN '{$my_startdate}' AND
'$my_enddate')
GROUP BY pk_phone_reports,
fk_ph_num,
date,
calls;
In reformatting the string I found a couple of PHP things that are
probably what's tripping you up. PHP used the . as a string
concatonator. You were missing several of them. Notice that I remove
them all. Because we enclosed the entire statement in a sing pair, we
can use {$variable} for substitution. Makes life a lot easier when
building sql statements.
Also, I removed all the back-tiks. Not because they were wrong but they
annoy my and in 99% of the cases are not necessary.
Oh and welcome to PHP/MySQL. I hope you'll find the language easy and
the people friendly.
Finally, a could of things that will make life easier for you if you are
going to be doing much database work in PHP/MySQL.

This is the best database abstraction layer I've found. Even if you
only use MySQL, it's worth the investment in time to learn it. (mainly
for the debug feature.)
www.sqlyog.com
Best FE for MySQL on Windows I've ever found. It's $49.00 (I think...I
forget) but it's worth it. It's got it's bugs but overall it's a killer
tool.
http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/
A killer, open source tool for designing databases. If you are used to
the commercial tools costing $4k+ then you'll feel right at home with
this. (It's my understanding that MySQL has purchased this project, but
I may have my story wrong.)
Finally, you've already found the greatest tool for debugging MySQL/php,
the lists.

Re: [PHP-DB] Impact of MySQL Queries
If both services are running on the same machine then no, the number of queries per page will not affect bandwidth. It will however, affect you processor usage. Without having seen your code, I can only make generalizations. 20 queries is a bit excessive but it's still manageable if the server is not being hit too heavy. To answer your question directly, yes, it will start to slow down as you have more people using the system. I would suggest you consider the following. 1: Use ADODB as your abstraction layer. It has built in query caching and could dramatically improve page speed as well as lower processor usage. 2: Take a hard look at your code and make sure you actually need 20 queries on a page. Would a single query be possible and then spin through the result set? 3: Consider moving to a Linux box. (Sorry, had to be said) Without the overhead of a GUI, your processor will be more available for mysql and your web server. 4: Make sure you have the proper indexes set. If you do need 20 queries, 20 fast queries are better than 20 slow queries. :) HTH.

Michael, Don't store resources in your session. They die when the page is finished rendering. Variables you can store in your session. Even objects can be stored in your session. But do not store resources. I would suggest a couple of things. 1: Use ADOdb instead of just raw my_sql statements. (php.weblogs.com) It has pagination functions that will make your life easier. (It also has a cool caching system, transactional support and a bunch of stuff that takes the hassle out of database programming. 2: If you won't do #1 then the first time you execute the query, spin through the entire recordset and store the records as an array. The array you can save in your session. note if your record set is more than 100 records I would not do this.

Re: [PHP-DB] Read file
I've seen it done with some creative javascript. (i.e. caching to a tmp dir and accessing the txt file onChange.) But you cannot (REPEAT CANNOT) execute php on a client machine unless you load php and a web server onto that client machine. PHP is still a server side script. And 10k cookies is out of the question. I imagine it would bring down your browser. You are correct to be concerned about people bringing down 10k records each time. I suggest you re-think your database strategy so that you bring down a smaller subset. If done right, you can use Javascript and a hidden window to fetch records from the database and return them to the currently running page without refreshing the page. (It can be done.

RE: [PHP-DB] Separating content from style
My $0.02 worth, For the purposes of sanity (mine) I treat a combination of PHP/HTML in the web page as the middle tier (Controller), the browser and any JavaScript as the front-end (View) and a combination of PHP objects and the database as the backend (Model). This warped view of MVC allows me to incorporate some PHP in the HTML so I can avoid things like tag libraries and template engines. (Nothing wrong with them, they are just one MORE level of abstraction) As a rule, I do not allow the code that is in my web page to access the database. All database access is done through objects. I also do not let objects (with 1 exception, my FormBuilder class) generate HTML. Depending on the project, I may code mysql_* commands in my objects or (my preferred method) utilize ADODB as my database abstraction layer. (BTW, I don't use it because I switch databases a lot, I use it because I like the feature set.) Therefore, my web pages usually: Instantiate the objects necessary to build the page. Manipulate the objects and wrap them in HTML. Destroy the objects and send the page to the browser.

They let you do XSLT'ish stuff in your HTML to grab data while not bogging down your HTML with database-related function calls. I've heard this setup referred to as templates and 3-tier. It has all kinds of advantages, the biggest of which is probably the ability to specialize: Allow your web-designer to work with HTML/CSS and your DBA to work with SQL, with no overlap. Obviously, PHP doesn't really lend itself to this sort of setup at first. At least, I haven't found a good way to do it.

RE: [PHP-DB] search question
it depends on how you design your database. When I know I will have this situation, I design a table named keyWords. Put one work per record and assign each word an ID number. Then I create a join table between keyWords and whatever table they relate to. The join table only contains 2 fields, the pk from keyWords and the pk from the other table. Then I ad 1 record to the join table for each keyword that relates to each record in the other table. It's simple then to join the 3 tables in such a manner as to quickly find the records in the other table that relate to a specific key word.

Forums can be deleted and created by the admin. As soon as one is deleted, there is an empty number. E.g. 5 So we reach 99 and the next number should be not 100 but 5! I did set the type of the field to int(2), but it does not change anything. Still 100. Has anybody a good idea? Thanx Andy PS: if somebody is wondering why 2 digits... I am passing this value like that : viewforum/01.html -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] classes and sessions
Yes. You can create your class, instantiate it and store it in the session like any other variable. However. before you issue a Session_start() you MUST have already included the class definition in your page. If you start the session and have not, it will throw an error because it will not know how to use your class. Am I making sense? (I don't think the coffee has kicked in yet.)

Try: $sqlStatement = "Select * from newStories where id = ".$GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['id']. " order by whateverValue"; Then execute that statement. The value ID that you passed in on the URL is stored in the associative array $HTTP_GET_VARS.

RE: [PHP-DB] delete registers..
Depends on what registers are. If they are people then I would just shoot then and get it over with. :) Seriously, if you mean how do you delete records form a table that are more than a month old (let's say 30 days to make it simply) then you need to have a timestamp field in your table. Then in a nightly sweep, delete from table where today - timestamp_filed30.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL connection problem - need help from expert
Greetings and Salutations Ian,
Somewhere in your code you are going to have a line similar to this:
$currentConnection = mysql_connect ($server, $userName,$password)
$server is going to be either the name or the IP address of your server
$userName is going to be the MySQL user name you use to connect to MySQL
$password is going to be the password for your username.
an example would be:
$currentConnection = mysql_connect ('192.168.0.1', 'foo','bar');
This would create a connection to a MySQL server on 192.168.0.1 for user foo
with password bar and store it in $currentConnection for you to use.
This assumes that:
1: There IS a MySQL server on 192.168.0.1
2: That it is running on the standard port. (3306?)
3: That [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an account on that server
4: That foo's password is bar.
HTH,
Cal

Subject: [PHP-DB] help on modifications / subscribe / unsubscribe script
Am using the following subscribe/unsubscribe script with great success,
but it does not have all the functionality I would like. Any one have
any ideas on how to:
1. open in a java window, and once info is put, and person is
subscribed, java window closes and a selected http page comes up?
2. compare information submitted in this table, with same variable in
another table, and if data is not there, then include it?
3. make the password show up as * characters in the browser rather
than the lettters typed by user, and add a portion of script to compare
to what is in database, and if there, is it correct.
4. how to add minute and seconds to date stamp.
Thanx
Marc

RE: [PHP-DB] my sql text query
Nope, you change the field to not null then it won't allow null values in the database. Since the data already has null values, the Alter Table would probably fail.

RE: [PHP-DB] using ID
Ohh, Ohh, OOHH!
