[PHP-DB] php5 coding class objects best practices
hi people, i havent used thi slist for quite a while. anyway. Im trying to write an application which relies heavily on mysql. so i have made a class object which has all the functions to make using mysql very easy for me. but the problem im faced with now is, i have a bunch of other classes, which have a dependency to be able to read or write to mysql at some point. i dont want to have to write and maintain seperate mysql classes to extend other other classes. is it alright to, for example, point to one class from within another? e.g. $user = new User(); $user-mysql = new MySql(); and then call functions in MySql() from within User() by; $this-mysql-fetch_result_into_array(); im new to PHP5 so im not aware of all its new and awesome OO features. does anyone have any advise?
[PHP-DB] net cafe software
Hi, I'm looking for some net cafe style software written in PHP, which would preferably use MySQL if it must use a database, which can track the data each client downloads instead of tracking the amout of time the client is online. Ideally the software would distinguish one client from another by each machines unique MAC address...this way people cant easily reconfigure their machine to get around the billing system. And it would be good if the system had a way to alter the firewall to dissallow specific clients mac address who havn't paid their bill or if they account limit is reached. I know i'm asking for a bit but if there's something close to that written in PHP i should be able to alter it to do what i need, but i haven't found anything on the net searching google.com, freshmeat.net, nor sourceforge.net so i'm hoping one of you have seen/used something similar. Thanks very much :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [PHP-DB] Theory help needed
i'm not experienced so this is just a theory. if you have a parent id field in your tables then each reply would have the parent id of the original message they replied to, so when your program gets the data it will get the original message, and then get any other messages with the same parent id, then it would move on and get the next original message...etc. e.g. to get original message: select message_body,message_id from message_table then to get the threads of the original message: select message_body,message_id from message_table where parent_id=[message_id of original message] i know thats a vague description but its an idea...i guess..

Right now I have EXTREMELY basic threading, where you can reply to a message, reply to replies etc . and they'll appear in the correct part of the messageboard. What I need though is to be able to do proper threading, where each reply appears under the original message and not all over the place, but i'm confused as hell. Anyway have any experience with this kind of thing and can give me a push in the right direction? I know I need to store the original ID, the forum ID, the message ID of the current message and the ID it relates to, but it's getting confusing :-) Thanks.

Note that SID is only defined if the client didn't sent the right cookie.

The reason I'm not using cookies is because i don't really know enough about them yet (i don't really know enough about sessions either :p). Do you think it would be better for me to generate my own unique number and set that in the cookie? Will i have to keep calling SetCookie() on every page? One thing i should have mentioned in my previous email, even though it isn't that relevant i don't think, is that if i omit the SID constant from the URL string then PHP automatically appends the SID to the URL its self, but again it disappears after a link has been clicked. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[PHP-DB] php session
hi people, I'm having a little trouble getting sessions to work properly with php. I have put session_start(); on all pages before any data is printed. The session will start on the first loading of the page but after a link is clicked the session seems to die i have no idea why. for the links on the pages i have included the SID constant like so: a href='index.php . SID . action=whatever'Link/a but after a link is clicked the links them appear to lose the reference to the SID constant so instead of looking like a href='index.php?PHPSESS=s8743vbkuwivn7action=whateverLink/a they look like a href='index.php?action=whatever'Link/a the session_start(); isn't right at the start of the pages, its a few lines after but none of the lines before session_start(); print any data, they only store data in variables...does that matter?? I'm completely stumped trying to get this to work properly. can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks heaps. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[PHP-DB] error 1100
Hi people,
I dont know why but am stuck trying to debug this problem. I keep
getting error number 1100 (Table 'jobs' was not locked with LOCK TABLES)
from PHP when i try querying a mysql database. It has me stumped because
I am using the LOCK TABLES statement when locking the tables...but maybe
there is something wrong with my code that i cant see...
Here is the function i use to lock/unlock the table(s). I call this
function before querying the database. $dblink is the MySQL Link
Resource, $table is the table to lock, $grant describes how it should be
locked (READ/WRITE), if $table or $grant are null then it assumes the
tables are to be unlocked:
function lock($dblink,$table,$grant){
//function to lock/unlock tables
if(($table == null) or ($grant == null)){
$unlock = @mysql_query(UNLOCK TABLES,$dblink);
return $unlock;
}
else{
$lock = @mysql_query(LOCK TABLES . $table . . $grant,$dblink);
return $lock;
}
}
Any ideas?
Thanks heaps :)

RE: [PHP-DB] LIKE statement or IN statement?
Yeah I really need to search for multiple words. Can anyone confirm if
the IN statement will work for me in this situation?

if you want to search for multiple words, u have to use multiple like
operators:
select count(distinct itemid) from business where name like 'word1' or
name like 'word2' or name like 'word3';
or the IN statement with wildcards:
select count(distinct itemid) from business where name IN
('%word1%','%word2%','%word3%'); -- im not too sure of this, would the
experts please shed some more light on this one if its correct?

Hi,
I've got a dilly of a problem. I'm probably doing something wrong but
I
don't know what. I'm trying to use the LIKE statement in a query where
more than one word is used in with LIKE..e.g.
select count(distinct itemid) from business where name or description
like 'word1 word2 word3%'
The problem I'm having is probably obvious to you but I don't know why
this returns no matches but if i specify only 1 word in the LIKE
statement then it returns a match.
Am i not able to specify more than 1 word with LIKE or am I just doing
it wrong?
It has been designed to take input from a web form by the variable
$search_string and then the query string is constructed from that e.g.
$query = select count(distinct itemid) from business where name or
description like' . $search_string . ';
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP-DB] Problem w/ mysql_pconnect
Hi Paul, I'm no MySQL expert and i'm only very new to this list but i have had the same problem before. What i did to fix the problem was replace localhost with the ip address of the machine...so on my network i my MySQL server is 10.3.2.1 so i used 10.3.2.1 instead of localhost and it worked for me. the real solution i guess would be to grant access for that username from the localhost.localdomain address in your MySQL server. see how u go. -Original Message- From: Paul D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 24 June 2002 12:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Problem w/ mysql_pconnect I'm using PHP 4.2.0 with MYSQL 3.23.

[PHP-DB] question from newbie
Hi people, Im quite new to the list. I am trying to construct a php script that will take a string submitted from a web site, break it up into keywords and add to an array, then perform a query to a mysql db for each keyword in the array. It will then send the result to the browser. the script is complete so far as I have added the functions to get the string from the web site, explode it and add it to an array, but i'm having trouble putting together a loop that will do a new query for every keyword in the array. is anyone able to help me with an example of a loop which could work for me? any help very much apreciated :) Chris Barnes -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] Question
i dont know how will this will work, but you could try storing the multiple hard disk details for each computer in an array in 1 field. then when you want to get the information from the db, use explode() to store the value in the field into an array again. e.g. the field in the DB might look like this... HardDriveSize = 1.2Gb,25Gb,25Gb so get the field from the db and then use explode() to store it in an array in php. e.g. $disk_size = explode(, , $field); i dont know how well this will work for you...i'm only a newbie. -Original Message- From: Mike Tuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 24 June 2002 3:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Question I am wanting to create a PHP frontend to a database that holds information about the computers that I take care of. I have a problem though when it comes to storing hard drive information. In most cases, the computers have one drive, but some have 2 or more, so I can't create the main database with fields like this. ComputerID HardDriveType HardDriveSize I know I will need to create a separate table to hold information about the drives, and connect them to the computer by attaching the primary key of the drives table to the Computer table. Computer Table ComputerID DriveID Drive Table DriveID HardDriveType HardDriveSize This is where I am unsure. If there is more than one drive, then this would be incomplete because it would only show one drive. What is the best way to make it so that all drives show for the computer, or am I doing this backwards? Should I tie the computer to the drive instead?
