[PHP-DB] Please point me in the right direction.......
I have a question about contracts or agreements. I am considering hiring a local company to do some coding for us in LAMP to augment what we have done already. I have a problem with the standard we own the code and copyright clause in thier service agreement. Can someone point me to the correct mailing list as I don't wish to start an inapropriate thread.

[PHP-DB] Re: More help with restore server
I fixed my problem, for those that are interested. I have now discovered the beauty of compiling from source. I ended up downloading php from the php.org site and compiled it. It repaired all php/mysql relationships and files and fixed my problem. These is latest of several occurances (not just php/mysql) where I was able to solve a problem by skipping the rpm and just compiling from source. Has anyone else found this to be the case?

[PHP-DB] More help with restore server
I just seem to be full of it, questions these days. Here is another situation I find myself in. I did a rm -rf /var/* Yeah, yeah I know. So getting beyond the oops factor, I have been recreating the server. I installed a new harddrive as /dev/hdd0. I installed the old harddrive as hdd1. I did a new installation of 7.3 on hdd0 and copied the old /home and /etc to hdd0. I will be upgrading to newer versions of rh and then probably migrating to fc2 or white box linux.

I was just finishing up and restoring a php/mysql calendar and I got an error call to undefined function: mysql_connect() I googled and it seemed to suggest I needed some updates or php or mysql packages installed. I then d/l'ed from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/i386/ (which i assume are the last updates for 7.3) to hdd1 and I just tried to rpm -U mysql* and php* I get dependency errors like php = 4.1.2-7.3.6 is needed bye php-imap-4.1.2-7.3.6 so i rpm -U php-4.1.2-7.3.6.i386.rpm and I get package php-devel-4.1.2-7.3.6 is already installed so I rpm -q php and i get php-4.1.2-7 Something seems obviously wrong.

[PHP-DB] I have a CR-LF problem when pulling stuff out of my DB
This may not be exaxtly PHP-DB related but it is a result of screwing something up grin. I pulled a bunch of data from a DOS formatted tab seperated file and now I am dumping back out into a text file (on linux). So, as you can imagine, I ended up with a bunch of ^M throughout the file. I plan on fixing this. The solution is easy enough. I just need to remember to open the text files in vim and save as unix files. However, I now have an immediate need. I want to open these five files in vim and find and replace the ^M in every instance. I know how to find and replace (:g/find//s/replace/g). But I cannot get the ^M in the string. If I actually hit ctrl-m it reads as a return; if I type ^M using the shift-6 then it looks for the actual characters. Can anyone help? -- Michael Cortes Fort LeBoeuf School District 34 East Ninth Street PO Box 810 Waterford PA 16441-0810 814.796.4795 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] I have a CR-LF problem when pulling stuff out of my DB
That didn't work. Here's why. This is not a dos file. It is a unix file but when dumping the data from my db, some fields had a trailing CR and LF. So what I ended up with was a ^M showing in the middle of a line when I open the file in vim. And... the lines will also end where they shouldn't. What is supposed to be one line, then continues on the next. While dos2unix did strip out the ^m, it left the LF (is it return or linefeed in unix) at the end of the line, starting a new one. I need to actually do a search on ^M followed by LF and replace it with nothing so I get my full line back. But I don't know how to enter in LF or CR in a vim search string. Hope this clarifies.

Re: [PHP-DB] I have a CR-LF problem when pulling stuff out of my DB
I found part of the answer.. when doing a search in vim you can hit ctrl-m as long as you hit ctrl-v first. ctrl-v tells vim to treat the following as a character, not to do the action i.e... carriage return. Now I need just one more piece, if anyone has the answer: ctrl-m is a carriage return. Does anyone know what ctrl seqence is line feed?

Re: [PHP-DB] Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
Duhhh. me mike. me like cumputors.
This is where the honest geek admits his mistakes.
I had a do while loop such as
do {
mysql_query ($qupdate, $link);
$rslterror=mysql_error($link);
$number++
} while ($rslterror!=null);
I was trying to insert a new record with $number being a field requiring a
uniqe number. If it failed, it should up the number by one and try again. I
still don't have that working properly, but that wasn't my endless loop
problem.
You may have notice that I used a query ($qupdate) above. I defined
$qinsert earlier on in my script and should of used it instead of $qupdate.
$qupdate was undefined and therefore caused an edless loop.
Anyway, I fixed my dumb mistake. If anyone would like to help me with a
better one, maybe you can tell me if I am doing my do while correctly. It's
only running through once, not getting a succesful insert and dropping out.
Thanks

Re: [PHP-DB] Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
This worked great. I am keeping a table of available PINs for each of my
groups of students. I rewrote the code to get a random number from the
table and if if it updates the student successfully, it deletes the number
from the availables table.
Thanks a lot!

Why is it important that you recycle old PINs? This is most likely eating
up the most time in your script execution.
My suggestion would be to either
A) just keep creating a new one and ignore ones when a child leaves or
B) create a 2nd, much smaller table available_pins and when a child
leaves, insert their former PIN into this table. Then upon executing the
new student script, you check the available_pin table for rows 0. If so,
use the first one. If not, give them a new one.
Good luck.

I do have an auto_increment for the record id. But that is just a way for
me
to uniquely id the record. Student numbers, barcodes, etc can change.
The reason I am using the do/while loop is: Every student is getting a
4digit pin for library, cafeteria and network access. It has to be unique
and we have been assigning a different range of numbers per building/grade.
There are various procedural reasons for this. I have verified that I am
identifying the new student correctly and going into the do/while loop with
a
variable that holds the correct starting number for the appropriate pin
range. It's then just a matter of trying consecutive numbers till I find
an
available pin. The pin may be available because a student left the school
or
because it's next available at the end of the line.
Anyway, I was not aware I could pick and choose my ranges in an
AUTO_INCREMENT
field.
I appreciate any thoughts you may have. Thanks.

[PHP-DB] Don't know why query works this way
I have been writing my queries like this...
$link = mysql_connect ($host, $username, $password);
$query = insert into $table ('joe', 15);
if ( mysql_db_query($dbname, $query, $link)){ }
But then I was reading that I should use mysl_query instead of mysql_db_query.
But I was having a problem with where do i put the $dbname.
When I used:
mysql_query ($dbname, $query, $link)
I got an error message saying i had too many arguments. So I changed it to:
mysql_query ($query, $link)
I then got an error message saying it didn't know what database I was
connected to. I finally got around the problem by including the database
name in the query, like so:
$query = insert into $dbname.$table ('joe', 15);
I shouldn't have to say, but this is a simplified example. I didn't want to
include all the fields, tables, values that the true example has. The
question is, am I doing this right? Do I have no choice but to retype the
$dbname all over the place if I want to use mysql_query?
Thank in advance for any help.

don't know the answer to.
My db queries (mysql) are written like this:
$qtrans= select * from $table where (conditionals) order by some field;
$link=mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password);
$result=mysql_db_query($dbname, $qtrans, $link);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
do stuff with the array here
}
I would like to created an if statement that only occurs if the query gets a result.
If there are
no records that meet the query conditionals and my array ends up with null, I do not
want my if
statement to take place.
Is this easy enough to do? Any help would be great.
