Re: [PHP-DB] DBF + PHP
What errors are you getting? Check file permissions, maybe you can't
read/write the file.
I get warning:
Warning: dbase_open() [function.dbase-open]: unable to open database
c:\temp\test.dbf in /usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs/dbase.php on
line 8
In php.ini I have safe_mode=off. Even if I wont simple change a directory
by:
echo getcwd() . \n;
chdir('c:\\temp');
echo getcwd() . \n;
I get this warning:
/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs

/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs/dbase.php on line 5
/usr/local/lappstack-1.1/apache2/htdocs
And how you see the directory does't change :(
Some propositin?

Just a quick guess/suggestion:
Single tick quotes ' are taken literally and double tick quotes allow
expansion.
$aVariable = 0;
echo '$aVariable';//$aVariable
echo $aVariable;//0
Maybe change the chdir to use double quotes or remove the double
backslash? Especially if your dbase_open works with double quotes and the
double backslash.
Thanks, but it did't help :(. I still get the some error.
I thing it is something with php configuration ?
Some other suggestion?

You seem horribly confused. Why are you using Windows-style paths
(c:\\..) on something that looks to be a un*x server (/usr/local...)
Becouse I wont read files, exactly *.dbf, from local machine, not from
server. I have no problem with read or changing directory, if database is
located on server.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi.
I need open some dbase files. Function dbase_open work correctly only when I
open data base from server eg. dbase_open('/tmp/test.dbf', 0).
How Can I open this database from local host ?
dbase_open('c:\tmp\test.dbf', 0) - not working
dbase_open('c:\\tmp\test.dbf', 0) - not working
dbase_open('c:/tmp/test.dbf', 0) - not working
Any idea?

Re: [PHP-DB] Saving state
Sounds fairly complicated, but wat about storing the information in session variables? and using multi dimensional arrays to store the information eg Array ( [call_1] = Array ( [name] = john smith [number] = 555-555-555 [time] = 2003-10-17 10:41:00 ) [call_2] = Array ( [name] = bill johns [number] = 555-555-555 [time] = 2003-10-16 07:41:00 ) ) but it really depends on how you want to do it, it might be beneficial to re query the database every time, especially if its going to be multi-user, because what happens if 1 person logs a call, how will the other person using the system know that a new call has been logged, re-querying it shouldnt take too long, and would provide advantages when there is more than one user, and you would have no synchronisation problems Luke - Original Message - From: Shiloh Madsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 10:24 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] Saving state Sorry about the cross posting, as im not exactly sure what would be the best method to handle this, but im trying to set up a web application with a tabbed interface.

Re: [PHP-DB] Saving state
Yeah, that is a good way to do it, i would do something similar too but Shiloh seemed to not want to requery the database, althought querys in this case would be the quickest and simplest way to get the historical information, which would be stored in the database already, and as you said, update querys if you want to change the information loaded into the form. If you need to avoid the database, the only other way i can see of keeping the information is adding it to variables at the same time as you add it into the database, and when you need to re-access the info, pull it from the variable instead of the database, but that could get messy Luke - Original Message - From: Duane Lakoduk [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Luke Skywalker' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 12:39 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Saving state Luke, Good point, this list is set up different in that Reply ONLY replies to the individual poster, not the list.

RE: [PHP-DB] Can't do anything with variables
Dude - sweet book. I bought it myself when i was starting out.
Your problem is due to the PHP error message setting in the php.ini file.
Whack this at the beginning of your scripts:
// Report simple running errors
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
When you know more - check out the php.ini file and read about the error
level..
And this page in the PHP manual:

Subject: [PHP-DB] Can't do anything with variables
Hi all,
Sorry for this really beginner question (PHP-Newbie here). I bought the book
PHP and MySQL web developpement (Welling Thompson) and I'm trying to
recreate the exemples and it won't work. I installed PHP 4.3.1 and MySQL
4.0.12.
The easy part. Here's a simple form page (from the book):
SEARCH.HTML
html
head
titleBook-O-Rama Catalog Search/title
/head
body
h1Book-O-Rama Catalog Search/h1
form action=results.php method=post
Choose Search Type:br
select name=searchtype
option value=authorAuthor
option value=titleTitle
option value=isbnISBN
/select
br
Enter Search Term:br
input name=searchterm type=text
br
input type=submit value=Search
/form
/body
/html
And now the processing page:
RESULTS.PHP
html
head
titleBook-O-Rama Search Results/title
/head
body
h1Book-O-Rama Search Results/h1
?
if (!$searchtype || !$searchterm)
{
echo You have not entered search details. Please go back and try
again.;
exit;
}
$searchtype = addslashes($searchtype);
$searchterm = addslashes($searchterm);
@ $db = mysql_pconnect(localhost, bookorama, bookorama);
if (!$db)
{
echo Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.;
exit;
}
mysql_select_db(books);
$query = select * from books where .$searchtype. like
'%.$searchterm.%';
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo pNumber of books found: .$num_results./p;
for ($i=0; $i $num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo pstrong.($i+1).. Title: ;
echo stripslashes($row[title]);
echo /strongbrAuthor: ;
echo stripslashes($row[author]);
echo brISBN: ;
echo stripslashes($row[isbn]);
echo brPrice: ;
echo stripslashes($row[price]);
echo /p;
}
?
/body
/html
The problem. Even if I fill both fields, I always get Notice: Undefined
variable: searchtype
The only way it would work is if I remove all the if part and leave the
select * from books (without the where clause).
I don't get it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Gilles

[PHP-DB] PHP Database Abstraction Layer
I once read a great article in the first or second issue of http://www.phparch.com/ on database abstraction layers. At which point I used the tutorial as a starting point for creating a very similar structure I named dbWave. There are only minor differences and a postgresql driver is now included for the most common pg_* functions. I was just wondering if anyone has developed a database abstraction layer that allows you to separate your SQL queries from your application logic like dbWave does? I'm looking for a more advanced way of doing this? Attached is dbWave for anyone to look at/use. To run it you need to use the following tags in your file: // DBWave include files include( [attached_filename].php ); To instantiate the dbWave object you use the following code in a file name connect.php ?php /* This file instantiates dbWave using our chosen API */ /* It is automatically generated by the database setup program */ // Instantiate dbWave using the MySQL API $dbWave = new Mysql(); // Connect to the database $dbWave-connect( 'yourhost', 'yourport', 'yourdbname', 'yourdbuser', 'yourdbpass' ); ?

I store all my sql queries in an include file. These queries could store the actions you want to perform for each user.. I then use scripts to execute queries (with an alias name for each) based on decisions (such as whether certain $_POST variables are present etc..) If I were building a 'user' class - I would store the actions that would 'call' the appropriate query by it's alias. This allows other objects to perform the same queries without re-writing them inside a different class.

RE: [PHP-DB] denying access to folders/files
I wrote a similar script a long time ago to achieve this. [Anti-Leech
solution]
You store the software in a folder that is outside of the web directory tree
and use PHP to 'fopen' the file being downloaded by the 'authenticated' user
and send it back to the broser using location() with the correct headers...
Here's a sample:
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='thefilenamehere');
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
header(Content-Length: .filesize('thefilename'));
header(Pragma: no-cache);
header(Expires: 0);
$fp=fopen(thefilename,r);
print fread($fp,filesize(thefilename));
fclose($fp);

Subject: [PHP-DB] denying access to folders/files
I'm hoping someone can give a little advise.
We have a customer that provides his software via a www address. We've
setup .htaccess on this folder with a single username/password. So he
supplies this user/pass to people that pay to get his software.
He now wants to have control over the username/passwords. He also wants
to have groups so that he can set which programs his customers can
download. He also wants it all logged.
I don't see this happening via .htaccess so I'm thinking of developing a
simple PHP/MYSQL interface.
So the customer comes to a login page, authenticates to a MYSQL
database, is assigned a cookie and is allowed access to which ever
programs his group allows.
This is fine and dandy, but how do I prevent that person from taking the
direct link to the file and giving it to someone else?
I'm sure there is a much better and simpler way. Idea's?
Thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: blob
I agree with Dave. I wrote an application to allow a client to upload/manage images and categorise them into diff. parts of their website. Images were stored as normal image files after upload and a pointer made to them from the appropriate database record (which had additional image info e.g. description) Since I now have to move this website to a new server - transferring all these files was a bit annoying. Storing them as binary data in mysql would have been easier to manage... -Original Message- From: David Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 8 January 2003 10:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: blob On Tue, 2003-01-07 at 15:52, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with this method. i have not yet seen an advantage of storing blobs in a database. Is there one? i'm sure those on this list would have an opinion if there was one. personally, i like storing all this stuff on the file system. There is one advantage. You must either chown the upload directory to the user that your web-server runs as, or chmod it to be world-writable. When creating a web-application that you plan to distribute (like Slashcode), you can't assume that your users will have that privilege. So, storing it in MySQL is a great option. --Dave -- 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
[PHP-DB] mysql_num_rows
Hello All,
I am struggling to understand why my query throws an error the code as below
$link = mysql_connect ( db.localhost.org, $user , $pass );
if ( ! $link )
die ( Couldn't Connect to Mysql Server );
print Sucessfully connect to server p;
$query = select * from users
.where screen_name='$screen_name'
. and passwd=password('$passwd');
$result = mysql_query($query, $link);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) 0 )
When executed you get a little message back like this one
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/usr/local/share/doc/apache/trial/authmain.php on line 20
What does this generally mean as I have noted that others use this syntax so
what is my issue ?
Any help or pointers to references would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Luke K

[PHP-DB] Re: newbie question: request response
The real reason I'm asking is because I want to design a PHP app that uses a similar framework to a current Java/JSP app I'm developing, and I will need to use a controller php file that forwards the request and response objects it receives to another php. Java Servlets do this nicely because instead of parsing through all of the arguments in the request object, and then going to the next servlet, it just punches the whole request object to the next servlet. Like I said, the only reason I would need them is to align with my current framework. But I will probably just design a different framework for my PHP apps.

RE: [PHP-DB] mail() - is there a limit?
olinux: I do not know the answer to your question. However, I would alternatively suggest that you send the email to each person individually. That is to say, loop through your recipient array and use mail() to send the message to each recipient, as opposed to creating a bcc array and then sending one email. This solution will take longer to execute -- you may in fact need to adjust the maximum program execution time via set_time_limit() -- but each recipient will receive an individual email, which, I think, will make your message look more personal. Plus, you no longer need to consider the number of addresses in the bcc field. Let me know if you have any questions! -luke Luke Muszkiewicz Pure Development, LLC http://puredev.com I am using a script that grabs about 100 emails from a database, loops thru and writes them to $bcc Then I use a single mail() to send a msg to everyone in the $bcc Is there a maximum nuber of emails that i can mail to this way?
