Re: [PHP-DB] select text from a text file
Hi, The timestamp idea is an intresting idea and i'll give that method some thought.

TIMESTAMP? you can save in the session when a use last grabbed messages (clicked update) and only return newer messages (i.e. message have a 'created' timestamp) then update the timestamp in the session. there is a window in which it is possible to have a request inserts a new message in between another request's selecting of all new messages and updating the session timestamp value (in such cases the person at the client end of the second request will never see the new message insert in the first request) - to handle that you have to implement some kind of locking mechanism. good luck is all can say.

RE: [PHP-DB] Dynamic pull down menus with PHP/Mysql
-Original Message- This may be a more javascript related topic, but it's also php/mysql. Apologies in advance if this is too far off topic. I'm trying to pull data from MySQL using PHP to sort the results into a form with a pull down menu. That works fine; I can do that. But I have a second pull down menu whose items need to display based on the item chosen from the first pull down menu. I can do two lists seperately, but I need the second pull down menu to be a result of the first, and I can't figure a way to do it in PHP without reloading the page, which I don't really want to do. Is this a javascript-dependent function, in that a js will have to make the call to the database via some sort of scripted php/mysql request? I really like to avoid javascript if possible, but I'm unsure there's an alternative. You're describing what I think is called Dynamic Options. Doing a Google for javascript dynamic option or javascript dynamic select will pull-up a few examples. Most of these solutions will expect you to load all data into javascript arrays. In other words, you don't have to reload the page, because all of the data is already present. This approach doesn't work well when dealing with large amounts of data. If you're running into this, use javascript's window.opener feature. It allows you to spawn a second window that retrieves data and sends it to the first window. -Ed -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Addslashes / DB Sort
PHP / MySQL I'm using PHP to retrieve user input and store it in MySQL. PHP's addslashes function is used on data going into the database and PHP's stripslashes function is being used on data coming from the database. This is allowing me to store and retrieve data with no problems, but it's causing problems when trying to sort data. In particular, data with double or single quotes is getting escaped, which changes it's position in the sort. For example, without using addslashes, I can sort by Title and end up with the following results: 'Pizza' For Techies Drinking Beer The OOP Way The World According To Linus But. if I use addslashes and try to sort by Title, I end up with: Drinking Beer The OOP Way The World According To Linus \'Pizza\' For Techies Is there a way to account for this?

Shared hosting vulnerabilities have nothing to do with SQLite security. phpMyAdmin seems to be a popular choice for MySQL admin and I reckon there must be a few people who use it in shared hosting situations.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL to EXCEL?
-Original Message- You can use table tr td and each tr becomes an excel row and each td becomes a cell. This may or may not work in/before excel97?? If you're looking to create true excel files, then i highly suggest spreadsheetwrite_excel, It is an excellent codeset, enabling you to use many features of excel such as colors, math, formats, etc. doing it this way, is little to no different from exporting in csv format, but it does work as described.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL to EXCEL?
-Original Message- either output the data as a csv which you are doing (on windoze name the file with a .csv extension) or take a look at http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer I have another option that might work for you also. Go to MySQL's website and grab their ODBC driver and use that to pull data directly into Excel. That's what I do and the end result tends to be a lot cleaner than going through cvs or other MySQL exports. -Ed -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I would like to connect to the database using persistant connections but need to limit the total number of connections to avoid swamping the database. It seems that a new connection is created for every request made to the webserver at least for the first few tens of requests - presumably a new php thread is being created for each request. I've tried limiting the maximum connections allowed by IIS for the website - but this does not appear to affect the number of PHP threads holding persistant connections to the db. I have set odbc.max_links in the php.ini file in case it is a bug in my program opening lots of connections but with maximum connections for IIS being set to 20 and max_links 4 I still end up with several hundred database connections after a few hundred page requests. If I was implementing this on apache (which I have much more experience of using) I would use the MaxClients directive to achieve this...

RE: [PHP-DB] Intellectual property rights
You're asking a legal question and should contact an attorney. -Original Message- From: Vincent Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Intellectual property rights This is a bit off topic however it may be something people here have or will have the unpleasant opportunity to deal with. The company I work for has been having a problem tracking our customers warranty information and have used paper for items sent in for repair. I on my own time had created a web based application in php that would make both issues paperless, and in my own opinion getter overall. Once complete I informed my supervisor of the application and asked if It could be shown to the vice president for review, with the condition that this is my application and I own all source and design of the application. My supervisor said he would need our IT department to look it over before it went to the VP. At the request of the IT department head I downloaded the files and sql dump of the database to the company's server. The next day I wad in the IT office talking with the director of IT and a 3rd party company about the functions and design of the application. Because they are all Microsoft weenies and cant admin a server unless they can point and click their way to a fix they said php would not be an acceptable language and mysql is not a proper database to run an application on. I informed them I could rewrite this in asp.net and place it on a mssql database. The IT director said they will be having the 3rd party company just take what I have made, convert it to asp and build off of it. I approached my supervisor about compensation for the work that was done since they are using my design. I was told you gave it to IT, there is nothing I can do about it I explained that this was given on the condition that it would be shown to the VP and in hopes that I would either gain a transfer to IT, be awarded a contract to provide the solution and maintenance, or maintain my current position with a slight raise and I will maintain and built onto the application. I went up the chain to my supervisors boss and explained to them what had happened and that since they are using my design and altering it to another language that I would like to be compensated for my work. I was told that I did nothing but give them an idea and they were really doing all the work since what I did was not good enough and their computers could not understand what I wrote. The IT dept refuses to run anything besides Win Servers using IIS. They will not install PHP ( too many hacker problems they say). Did I just screw myself? Do I have any protection of my design?

RE: [PHP-DB] Security Issues
so I've been doing a little thinking about web server security.. #1. Since all files on the web are 644, what is to stop someone on the same server from copying your files to their own directory? (specifically your database connection info) #2. if a folder if 777, what's to stop someone from writing to that folder? Virtual Servers http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci213304,00.html People can only see their own directories and files. PHP Safe Mode http://us2.php.net/features.safe-mode Check the section titled Safe Mode in the php.ini file. It has settings that help lock things down. Apache open_basedir Also detailed in the PHP Safe Mode documentation. There are a few other things that can be done to limit the scope of access, but all of it really depends on how the server is setup. I've seen many situations where hosting providers set accounts up with basic Virtual Hosting without doing any sort of lock down. If you're not careful and chose one of those providers, then you're definitely open to the sort of security breach that you've described. -Ed -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] RE: XML
I am looking at a project using XML to import and export data into MySql directly or using php. The datasets are quite large (40-50 million records) XML is a metadata technology - you wrap data in XML. You don't use XML to import or export data. You don't store XML in a database, you store data. When you fetch the data from the database, you wrap it in XML and send it on its way. Does that make it simpler? sql,mysql -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] RE: XML
On the other hand, proclaimed native XML databases (eg, Software AG's Tamino, Ixiasoft's TEXTML) store the XML-wrapped data in the database...no need to wrap and unwrap the metadata, document/data structure from the data. Isn't that more than a bit stupid? Databases are for storing data, not metadata. Ask Monty why he doesn't store data natively as XML. Short answer: it's stupid, unless all you ever want to see from your database is XML-wrapped data and never want to see it any other way. The whole world isn't XML, nor should it be. 40+ years of working with data tells us that you ALWAYS want to store data in its simplest form. sql,db,mysql -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] RE: XML
Not sure there is much more metadata in an XML database than in a data database. In a standard database, the data and metadata are stored separately, not so with XML. When the next new latest and greatest thing comes along, you'll have to strip all that metadata out of your data. It also makes for bigger databases, and a lot more wasted space, like comparing normalized and unnormailzed tables. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Assuming that's not the problem, I'd try printing out everything. Right
after your while, print $row - it should say array, then try printing
$row[0] and see if that works. Then try printing $row['user_id'].
You may also want to try doing a SELECT with the fieldnames, instead of just
the *. Also, make sure you're typing the field names correctly - they are
case sensitive.
Hopefully one of these suggestions will help you.

Ok, given there are people out there that expect people to do the work for
them, however if you look at my original post (today) you will see that I
have queried the database, feed the results into an array, then called the
array elements into my form, however simple this may be for you it is still
not pulling out the results of the array into my form. I do believe I am
missing something, and doing homework is a part of my everyday routine
trying to develop web based apps. The code again:
$table = auth_users; // names the table to query correct?
$record = @mysql_query(SELECT * FROM $table WHERE user_id =
'$user_id',$dbh); // pulls all records in relation to $user_id correct?
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($record)) { // pulls results of query
into an array correct?
$user_id = $row['user_id']; // assigns unique names for my different
editable regions correct?
$f_name = $row['f_name'];
$l_name = $row['l_name'];
$email_addy = $row['email_addy'];
$un = $row['un'];
$pw = $row['pw']; }
$var_form .= form name=\$user_id\ method=\post\
action=\del_account.php\
bEdit Account $user_id/bbr // echoes the $user_id that is going
to be edited correct?
First Name:input type=\text\ name=\f_name\ size=\30\
maxlength=\30\ value=\$f_name\br // displays text box to edit with
$f_name variable from resulting array correct?
Last Name:input type=\text\ name=\l_name\ size=\30\
maxlength=\30\ value=\$l_name\br // displays text box to edit with
$l_name variable from resulting array correct?
Email:input type=\text\ name=\email_addy\ size=\30\
maxlength=\30\ value=\$email_addy\br // displays text box to edit
with $email_addy variable from resulting array correct?
User Name:input type=\text\ name=\un\ size=\30\ maxlength=\30\
value=\$un\br // displays text box to edit with $un variable from
resulting array correct?
Password:input type=\password\ name=\pw\ size=\30\
maxlength=\30\br // displays text box to edit with $pw variable from

Confirm Password:input type=\password\ name=\cpw\ size=\30\
maxlength=\30\
nbsp;input type=\submit\ name=\add\ value=\edit
user\nbsp;nbsp;input type=\reset\ name=\reset\ value=\reset\;
Any help or examples are appreciated. Please understand I am trying to
learn this scripting language and RTFM does not help as most of the time I
post here as a LAST resort, i.e. after I have indeed RTFM'ed.

Why don't you try this instead:
while(list($id, $2d, $3d, $web, $prog, $tut,
$proj)=mysql_fetch_array($portfolio))
{
do whatever..
}
the list construct only works with numerical arrays and it might not like
the $section array (doesn't it get stored as number indicies AND column
names? That might generate that error).
But if you need that section array later, we can try a different approach..
