[PHP-DB] RE: PHP help question
The Database is created on PC A... I'm working on PC B... and my problem is that i am not able to connect to the PC A Database using the IP address as a host (since the database is not on my machine). but if i'm on PC A i can connect with the localhost. The question is that: do i need any configuration so i can access the database? First things first: This has nothing to do with PHP itself, it's just a configuration issue. You need to check the following things: Is your configuration on PC B set up to the right IP (as host), db, username and password? On PC A, what host is associated with the user? If it's localhost, it won't work. I think that you can set up the same user for localhost and any host with different passwords, make sure that's not the case (or that you have the right password on PC B). Finally, do any firewalls on PC B or PC A or other network constraints let the communication through? This is all fairly basic, but I hope it helps.

[PHP-DB] RE: Turning result into array from columns
Hello, $q = sprintf(SELECT id FROM content); This has nothing to do with your problem, but why don't you just do the following? $q = 'SELECT id FROM content'; But here's your problem. Change $realones = $row['id']; into $realones[] = $row['id']; And you get your desired result.

[PHP-DB] RE: Ye old $_SESSION variables :)
Try to make a small new script that only contains a form and a session. Then try a from with the same field names as the variable names. name='test' = $_SESSION['test']. When the session data is overwritten by the second try, registerglobals is switchd on. The thing you can do then is to rename your form fields. I use: name='in[YourFieldName]' This outputs an array: $_POST = in = YourFieldName = 'bar' Adriaan Ayy. If registerglobals should be on, try to turn it off. It just supports laziness and promotes confusion. But that's just my very subjective opinion. Checking for registerglobals is a good idea, though, and grouping form fields into an array is one as well, as long as you stay in php with your backend. Also, try fiddling with your cookie settings, if a lower setting solves the problem, you have to add the session-id to the action in the form tag, i.e. form method=post action=somewhere.php? =?=session_name().'='.session_id();? Ah, and, don't know if you knew or not: You can see what's left of your session, your post and generally any array with print_r or vardump, i.e. print_r($_SESSION); print_r($_POST). As other people said, you probably either forgot to session_start() somewhere, or the post screws up the transparent session id thingy, or registerglobals is on.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL Connect using Dreamweaver
That's a very common one. You're on windows, right? Try putting in consider upgrading MySQL client into google. The first one I found was this one: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/PHP_Windows/Q_21252231 .html Although the guy first claims it's not the OLD_PASSWORD problem, believe me, it is. Alternatively look up the error code, although I don't know if that would've helped in this case. -Original Message- From: W Roothman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 October 2005 06:18 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL Connect using Dreamweaver Dear All, I have installed MySQL 5 with PHP 4.3.3.

RE: [PHP-DB] Defined Constants
2 possibilities: either you put the defined value instead of the definition down in the option value (but i'm sure you thought of this one) or you use echo constant($_POST['myType']);. Or GET, depending on how you send your form. Hey, this time I learned something, too! I found it in the php helpfile, making my way from define to a chapter about constants, to this function. Here, if you're looking for functionality things, I think it's better than the online documentation: http://www.php.net/download-docs.php -Original Message- From: Ng Hwee Hwee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 October 2005 07:13 To: PHP DB List Subject: [PHP-DB] Defined Constants Hi all, just a very simple question. my form has the following define statements and select box: define(JOVIAL, likes to joke alot); define(CHEERFUL, always wears a smile on his face); define(ADVENTUROUS, likes sports and plays well too); define(MYSTERIOUS, there's always something to discover everyday); select name=myType option value=JOVIAL?=JOVIAL;?/option option value=CHEERFUL?=CHEERFUL;?/option option value=ADVENTUROUS?=ADVENTUROUS;?/option option value=MYSTERIOUS?=MYSTERIOUS;?/option /select after i post my form, the value $myType will be one of my define statements. For example, user chooses CHEERFUL thus when i echo $myType, I will get CHEERFUL but actually, what i really want to get is always wears a smile on his face. can someone advise me how i can achieve this?? sounds simple but i really don't know how!! =( thanks in advance!! hwee -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] ODBC Problem
this sounds a little bit like a wrong charset. I don't know which one your database or your php is running on, but, for a start, play with this: - charset of the file: If you open your file in an editor that allows storing it as different kinds of charsets, try saving it as something else. It's probably ANSI, try UTF-8 or Unicode. - charset of delivery: If your request ends in one or the other form of html, remember to put in a content type, like this: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=?php echo $charset; ? again, play around with the variable $charset, or, instead, hardcode it in the way you need it. I'm not sure about this, but maybe you can change the same thing by changing the character encoding in your browser manually and not putting in any content-type. Once you've found what you need, put it in as meta tag.

[PHP-DB] RE: domxml_open_mem and cdata
so far no reply, but a little update: I uploaded it to a linux server, similar setup(PHP4, apache1.3.something), same problem. Any ideas for a work-around? What do you use to edit XML on the (php-)server? I don't have enough time to redo it for MSXML Cheers, Matthias -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] domxml_open_mem and cdata
hello, I hope this isn't too off-topic for the list, if it is, please point me to a better one: I have to edit an xml file, and I was going to do that via DOMXML. The editing process itself is fine, but I now realised that all content that was in cdata brackets gets stored back without them. example: $xml=content![CDATA[Hello list.]]/content; $dom = domxml_open_mem($xml); die($dom-dump_mem()); //echoes: contentHello list./content I'm on apache 1.3.33 php 4.4.0 domXML version 20020815 libxml version 20611 and the whole thing is on windows XP this is of course simplified. if you tried it on your machine, you'll find an xml header in the output, and of course, my input-xml has one. The only proof of this that I have found so far is in a german phpforum, where a guy has the exact same problem, but sadly noone replied. That makes me think that it's either highly uncommon, unsolveable or a stupid error everyone but me knows. I'd alternatively use domxml_open_file (if that's the cure), but I get an I/O error when I try opening a file, relative or absolute paths, same directory or anywhere else. The content is fine after file_get_contents. Help is highly appreciated, Matthias -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] RE: Upload images with minimun effort from final user
A.J. Brown: snip A better solution is to rename the image to the unique ID of the news article it's associated with (assuming there is only one image allowed per article). This helps eliminate the chances of overwriting an existing image without bothering the user with error messages. When I do this, I usually use the md5sum of the unique ID instead of the actual number. For example: $image_name = md5($article_id) . .jpg; /snip is there a reason for this md5 approach? As you don't add any information, the news id is probably in the querystring anyway, how does it improve anything? I'm in the middle of writing an article about piecing together an imagebank prototype, and I've found so far that most people would like to add extra information, and store the image not connected to news or any listed articles. Like this, they can be reused, without uploading them again. A good filename approach is something still to do. Does it really matter, if the filename is something identifiable? Is it not even nicer if it was 'image_title_'.$id.'.jpg'? more readable than a checksum?

[PHP-DB] RE: DATE(r)
you gave yourself half of the answer:
date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
do you work on a pc?
there's also a *.chm to download, which I find very convenient:
http://uk.php.net/download-docs.php
or, a firefox search extension, somewhere, to add to that top right

RE: [PHP-DB] retrieve text from pdf
I can second that. I've worked with it under linux before (over a year ago, though), using pdftotext with exec() or system(), and it worked very well in the tests. I used it to index pdfs that other people were uploading and offer a little teaser on the site. Sadly it never went live, and I changed companies and forgot to take the code. But, seriously, this is not hard to use, once you know how to use system calls in php.
