RE: [PHP-DB] Converting text fields to integer in queries with ODBC connection to an MS Access file
Some of the databases I work with would support this as 'between' on two text fields that are sortable alphabetically - I'd give that a try. -Lorenzo -Original Message- From: Christian Sandfeld Sent: Thu 11/15/2001 7:55 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: Subject: [PHP-DB] Converting text fields to integer in queries with ODBC connection to an MS Access file Hi list, I wonder if anyone can help me out here. I'm pulling some data from an MS Access file using the ODBC driver provided with Windows NT 4.0 server (Option pack, and SP6a applied), and want to limit the result set with a where clause like this one: ...

Those aren't numbers remember, and need to be in single quotes. Even so, I'll be a bit surprised if this works against Access through ODBC... -Zo -Original Message- From: Christian Sandfeld Sent: Thu 11/15/2001 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Converting text fields to integer in queries with ODBC connection to an MS Access file Lorenzo, That was a good suggestion (had forgotten about the between function) but unfortunately it still complains with the following error: Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression., SQL state 22005 in SQLExecDirect in test.php on line 6 What caused this error was this: WHERE PARTNUMBER.PARTNUMBER BETWEEN 37010 AND 5); So, any other suggestions on how I can circumvent this problem?

RE: [PHP-DB] Automatic JOIN
MySQL does not enforce foreign key relationships. So while I believe you can still do a natural/automatic join, the fieldnames and datatypes must match. -Lorenzo -Original Message- From: Carlo Loiudice Sent: Fri 11/9/2001 5:11 PM To: PHP DB Cc: Subject: [PHP-DB] Automatic JOIN Pardon, another question: Is there a way to say to Mysql to automatically detect a relation between 2 table and perform the join operation when there's a SELECT query ? I Hope this isn't a stupide question! But I've seen that in the detested MS Access, there a simple way so make a visual join between a field in a table with another field in another table. When there's a select on the 1st table, access automatically open the linked table and fetch the corresponding field. How to make this in mysql? Carlo, again __ Abbonati a Yahoo! ADSL con Atlanet!

I've never parsed XML with PHP, but it might help if you can show the
document that's breaking the parser, and also let us know if other

Subject: [PHP-DB] XML coming out from MySQL
Hello,
I'm trying to parse an XML file stored on MySQL. I'm using this
code:
?php
global $CFG, $ME;
$qid = db_query(
SELECT texto
FROM articulos
WHERE id = $id
);
$r = db_fetch_object($qid);
$file = $r-texto;
$map_array = array(
ARTICULO = ,
VOLANTA = h2,
TITULO = h1,
SUBTITULO = h3,
BAJADA = h2,
PARRAFO = p,
AUTOR = h3,
URL = h3,
COPY = h3
);
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $map_array;
if ($htmltag = $map_array[$name]) {
print $htmltag;
}
}
function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $map_array;
if ($htmltag = $map_array[$name]) {
print /$htmltag;
}
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
print $data;
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
// use case-folding so we are sure to find the tag in
$map_array
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,
true);
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, startElement,
endElement);
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, characterData);
while ($data = $file) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, 0)) {
die(sprintf(XML error: %s at line %d,
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?
and having this at the end of the outuput:
XML error: junk after document element at line 25
What does it mean? How can I solve it / trace it?
