Re: [PHP-DB] RE: SELECT WHERE length of content question
Do not forget to use TRIM function as well: LENGTH(TRIM(fax)) in order to elliminate leading and trailing spaces.

I'm assuming that your fax field is a varchar or char(10) field. If it's a number (which it probably shouldn't be), I suppose you could write a query to find values equal to or greater than 100,000,000,000. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/string-functions.html#function_length I hope this helps.

RE: [PHP-DB] query help
Hey, You can also try PEAR module MDB2 to insert an array into a table. The function is: executeMultiple. This works for other SQL queries too. Check this link please: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.mdb2.intro-execute.php Cheers, -Original Message- From: Artur Ejsmont [mailto:ejsmont.ar...@gmail.com] Sent: 17 noiembrie 2010 16:07 To: Vinay Kannan Cc: PHP DB; php mysql Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] query help well i guess you could do that. but it gets complicated after a while and there will be a lot of work and probably after a while you will get into some problems. You have to handle escaping, special types etc. Then what about performance? how to query the data ... using similar approach or is it just for inserts? there is a bit of work to make it really usable i guess. I am not saying its wrong though, I have seen this approach twice ... in general its possible. Maybe better choice would be to try to use some orm ? there are plenty of frameworks out there the only problem is the learning curve may be steep.

I wanted to know if there is way to insert an array of values into a DB. An eg would explain this better : If I have 2 tables in a DB, 1) users has 3 columns 2) hobbies = 5 columns I was thinking of having a single function which will perform the insert on any insert which happens on the entire website. Eg : This function can be called with 2 parameters, the first parameter the table name, and the second parameter is an array of values which will be inserted into the table. eg : Users has these columns [1]ID [2] Name [3]Location so the function call would be something like * insert_into_tbale(users,array[user_values])* ** Does this make sense ? Is this a good method to follow ? Thanks in advance !

Re: [PHP-DB] Specific order by MySQL statement
One possibility is to use codes for this filed, such as: 10 for Current; 20 for Completed; 30 for Withdrawn; 40 for Transferred. a.s.o. If you will discover other states of the field you can insert them apropriatelly (if you want Canceled state to be inserted and to be displayed last put the code 45 for it). Best regards, Aurel On Mon, 2005-11-07 at 11:47 +, Adrian Bruce wrote: Hi I am trying to get results from a MySQL query in a specific order, just using ASC or DESC will not work.

Re: [PHP-DB] NOT NULL - newbie
Hi! I think that NOT NULL comes together with PRIMARY KEY and not with AUTO_INCREMENT. Follow this link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/create-table.html for detailed information about creating tables in MySQL. Have a nice day!

[PHP-DB] Problem with PHP_AUTH_USER
Hi! Here is the problem: How can I unset the $PHP_AUTH_USER when the user clicks logout? The authentication works very well except the log out. I tried: session_destroy(); unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) and in the next line I did: print $PHP_AUTH_USER; and the value is still there. How can I unregister this variable so that the authentication window appears again. I'm using apache 2.0.40, php 4.2.2 compiled as a module, RedHat Linux 9.0. Register globals is On.

[PHP-DB] Another question
Is there a php function that closes a browser window? I know there is a javascript function (window.close), but I can't use it because it complains that the window is not opened by javascript (window.open).

Re: [PHP-DB] Another question
I destroy the session with:
session_destroy()
The file is deleted from the /tmp directory (which is good) but after
that I want to go on another page (public space) and get rid of
PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW.
How can I do it?
On Mon, 2003-12-15 at 16:10, Muhammed Mamedov wrote:
Could you provide the code you use for destroying your session?
Because if you destroy it session_unregister($session_name) then no need
for browser closing.
But if you don't destroy it, then it will be destroyed automatically after
you close the browser.. this is how PHP works.
Regards,
Muhammed.

The reason is that I want to logout from the system.
I destroyed the session but the session is still there!
So I'm thinking of closing the window for good!
Do you have any ideas how to make it work?

You can avoid the prompt when using javascript to close the window if
you
use this:
function closeit(){
window.opener = top;
window.close();
}
Now, window will close without prompting.
