Re: [PHP-DB] DATE_SUB Issues

2004-03-30 Thread Ricardo Lopes
the first time i saw this post i get confused, let me see if i understand.

you want the _CURRENT_ week stats 
OR
the stats from the last 7 days

if you want the first you cant use now

the reason why that script works was because it was monday :) 

  SELECT SUM(distance), DATE_FORMAT(time_upload, '%u'), 
  WEEK(time_upload, 1) FROM TRAININGLOG WHERE DATE_SUB( NOW(),INTERVAL 7 
  DAY ) = time_upload GROUP BY time_upload LIMIT 1

 Basically what I did is I changed this  DATE_SUB( NOW(),INTERVAL 7 DAY

 entirely sure why.  Anyone know?

Re: [PHP-DB] Tree structure - how to show only current branch ??

2004-03-30 Thread Ricardo Lopes
 Not to mention that I hate using others code

i dont agrre with that, i guess probably you write your own string/date
handling functions, you write your own code to connect to database and other
stuffs right? :-)

 it will take about as long to convert that to something workable in PHP,
as it
 will figuring out how to do it in PHP

the code is good, and is very easy to integrate it with PHP and with your
table, you have all the data that is needed, the idea is not to port the
code to php. Probably you didnt read the script documentation.

If you don't want to use javascript for some reason like your browser
doesn't support it (ex: lynx :-) ) or because you want to do a only
server-side implementation that would only be usefull if you have a really
big node list, in that case the php only version would be better or if you
want a static tree menu.

The PEAR::HTML_TreeMenu can be coded entirely in php but uses javascript to
expand/contract the menus, this is transparent to the programmer, but uses
javascript anyway.

Can someone please help me or direct me to some scripts that might get me
unstuck, as I've not done this kind of query before.

To simplify:

Table 1
id 1
Name   John Doe
company  IBM

Table 2
id1
choice choice #1
id1
choice  choice #2

So I have 2 records in table 2 that I need to tie in with id # 1 in table 1.

What's the smartest way to do the query ? I have 5 different tables I need
to query.  I guess I can get the data I want by selecting all from the 5
tables then parsing through like:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
foreach Table1.id {
if Table1.id == Table2.id{
echo tr
}}}

I could probably manage if I do 5 different queries with 5 different results
sets, but that is obviously inelegant and would create more overhead

I need to display as:

John Doe   IBM Choice #1, Choice #2

Am I even close ?  Need some help with the logic...

Thx for any guidance

Re: [PHP-DB] File upload bug

2004-03-25 Thread Ricardo Lopes
Hello Daniel,

you said you change all the max_limit stuff in PHP/Apache, but did you
change it on mysql ?

by default the mysql_allowed_package is set to 1M, you have to add a line in
your my.ini file (in my case this is in the windows directory, if you are
using linux search google :))

In the section [mysqld] add

set-variable = max_allowed_packet=10M

or the value you want.
I had a similar problem in a desktop application that inserted images into
the database it gave the erro mySQL has gone away and this was the
solution.

Hope this Hepls.

 Hi all you there...

 I realized that when I try to upload a file of about 1MB or more, it
doesn't
 upload... Even changing all the max_limit stuff at the config files of
 Apache and PHP... So, I don't now how to solve this.

 In the form, there are:
 form enctype=multipart/form-data name=frmUploadFile
action=upload.php
 method=post
 input type=text name=strDesc size=20 maxlength=50
 input type=file name=fileUpload size=20
 /form


 In upload.php there are:
 ?
 global $strDesc;
 global $fileUpload;
 global $fileUpload_name;
 global $fileUpload_size;
 global $fileUpload_type;

 $fileHandle = fopen($fileUpload, rb);
 $fileContent = fread($fileHandle, $fileUpload_size);
 $fileContent = addslashes($fileContent);

 $dbQuery = INSERT INTO myBlobs VALUES ;
 $dbQuery .= (0, '$strDesc', '$fileContent', '$fileUpload_type');
 db_query($dbQuery) or die(Couldn't add file to database);
 ?

 With short files (up to 1MB aprox.), it works just perfect... But, more
than
 this, the variable $fileUpload_size, for example, is 0 (Zero)... So,
anyone
 know how to fix this? Thanks.

Re: [PHP-DB] Store a File (any type) in MySQL

2004-03-24 Thread Ricardo Lopes
As nobody seems to answer your question here, i will give you a pointer to
an article i found i 30 seconds using google, i just searched for insert
blob mysql php an i found this article in oReilly, and it seems that the
article is based on a thread in the php mailing list.

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2000/09/15/php_mysql.html

Be carefull with this because it can cause many troubles. If you got a
message saying mysql server gone away or something like that is because
your file if a little big, change the my.ini file and add:

set-variable = max_allowed_packet=10M  # or whatever you like

i think that the default is 1 MB,
You should consider changing the max upload size in your php.ini before
asking questions about that and saying that it doesn't work :)

if you really have to do this way do it if not consider doing this in
another way.

Any way of solving a problem is right if it is used in the right situation.

Yes, there are tools to do that.

You could take a look at PEAR which have libraries to do that, that a look
at HTML:HTML_Form (for making forms) and there are several others
alternatives(http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net  and
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Form_Processors/),
sorting and searching i don't know i have done that task manually but you
have a Pager DB:Pager it does paging but doesnt do sorting.

 Hi,
 We plan to write a simple DB with app. 10 tables. Are there any tools that
 simplify and automatize the creation of PHP scripts for the database?
 Like automatic generation of PHP scripts that produce HTML input forms,
 generation of value lists, validation, sorting and searching?
 Well documented PHP library could be also useful.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL - separating web and database servers

2004-03-18 Thread Ricardo Lopes
in your php.ini you have mysql.default_host, mysql.default_user and
mysql.default_password which are used if:

a) you are not in safe mode
b) you supply no string for those parameters.

But i guess this is not your case, i think this doesnt help, but i had an
ideia, you could set your server (http) to work as a router and make
something like a port-forwarding to the other server, like routers do, one
ip could be used be several machines, depending on the port is accessed the
data is forwarded to that port.

This is just an idea i had right now, i dont know if it can be used or if it
works but and least appears to logical and implementable.
Good luck.

 Changing scripts is not a main factor here (but it's not as simple as it
may
 seem - consider some encoded php applications, cgi's or some not informed
 users who will overwrite changed files with their local copies).

 I just wanted to know if it's possible to do this without touching
 localhost.

idintauto_inrementPK
entitty_namevarchar

[Table HoursUsed]
id   int auto_inrementPK
entity_id int   FK

quantity  int (you could use reals instead of integers if you work with
1/2 hour)

[Table HoursPurchased]
id   int auto_inrementPK
entity_id int   FK
daydate
quantity  int (you could use reals instead of integers if you work with

quantity  int (you could use reals instead of integers if you work with
1/2 hour)


For calculating the hours remaining you just have to do a simple query.
You could have a table with the hous remaining initialy set to the value of
the hours purchased and decremet the value each time you use hours, this
might have some impact in performance, i dont know which might be better,
you have to do some math to know :)

Hope this helps.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Bank Account Register


 Hi all,

 Please CC me on any reply - I get the digest :)

 I am working on a project where I need to implement something that most
 resembles a checkbook register, where I am tracking pre-paid hours
 bought vs. hours used on-site.

 I am getting a bit stuck on the best structure for the mysql table, and
 would like some suggestions.

 In the end, I need to be able to run a report where by date it displays
 hours purchased, and hours used like in a check register:


 DATEDESC.   BAL.
 2/23/04 Purchased 10 hours  10hrs. remaining
 2/24/04 Job 2 used 5 hours   5hrs. remaining
 2/24/04 Purchased 20 hours  25hrs. remaining


 Like so...

 Would it be best to have 1 table with a field for transaction type and
 keep all the ins and outs in one table, or have two tables one where I
 track purchased hours and the other where I track used hours?

 Thanks,
 Rogue

Re: [PHP-DB] Protecting mysql database

if you want to close the  whole database for a period, and that _NOBODY_
have access, just shutdown the service, and prevent it from starting the
next time you restart your operative system. :)

you could make mysql to log more than it normaly does to the logs and then
analyse the log. You can even monitor the logs and when something happend
(like a login) send an email or sms to the administrator. I dont know how to
change which information is store in the logs, look at the mysql
documentation, it have to be there.

Re: [PHP-DB] plain-text file (.txt) to mysql database

2004-03-01 Thread Ricardo Lopes
I know this might sound a little bad, but i would use Perl or an editor that
supports regulars expresions to convert the data into insert statements and
after that i would use a database administration tool (ex. myCC) to insert
the data, you could put some statements before doing the inserts to disable
foreign key checks and others things to speed up the process, but in your
case i think this would have no effect in the speed.

 Assuming mysqld is running on the new system, cd to the mysql/bin

 ./mysql -uusername -ppassword  somefile.sql

 Of course, all the foregoing syntax for re-installing presumes *n*x.

 I move databases from my local windows system to a remote *n*x site
frequently using the above process and it is very reliable and repeatable.

Re: [PHP-DB] What's wrong with this query?

2004-02-26 Thread Ricardo Lopes
What is the error? there i something i always do when i have this problem,
try this:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
$sql = INSERT INTO log SET term='$search', returns='$arrayword',
time=CURTIME(), date=CURDATE(), ip='$ip');
echo $sql;
$logit = mysql_query($sql);


This makes all kind of notice about uninitialized variables and other things
that may cause problems, great for debugging, and the echo $sql prints the
sql that is sent to the client, here you can see if one of the variable yo
are sendding to the query have some kind of problem, like a ' in the middle,
which could cause problems in your script.

If you can't see the problem after this post the output of this code.

Call to undefined function mysql_connect(), this means that php doesnt
reconize mysql_connect() as a function, this could be because you use the
wrong name for the function (in this case it seems ok, check your code), or
because the mysql extension isn't loaded (it is loaded by default, and it
should be if you didnt mess the php.ini file or the extensions directory).

There is an easy way to check if the extension is loaded, create a phpinfo
script:

?php
phpinfo();
?

and serach for mysql to see extension is loaded.

Hope this helps.

you probably have the mysql and the php installed and working correctly.

check your php.ini file search for a section named extensions and check if
the mysql extension is commented (if so uncomment it), check is the
entensions directory is correct, check the apache logs to see if php load
correctly, you could have a CANT LOAD MODULE  in the log.

 Yeah thanks for the phpinfo() tip. I guess I know that MySQL isn't working
 with PHP cos I'd already checked that. Bit silly I presumed that
installing
 it all at the same time as installing Linux it would all work together.

 In the package manager for RedHat, under the Web Server Section, PHP is
 listed for installation, along with a few modules to go with it (ie. LDAP
 and IMAP, and some stuff to do with PostgreSQL), but there is no option to
 install a MySQL module with it. Seems a bit silly really.

 The version of PHP is 4.22.2-8.0.5 (4.2 basically), and I don't know what
 version MySQL was built into PHP from, but it doesn't seem to be on this
 version.

 I simplified my code to just this, and got the same message, so I don't
 think adding my own code will help:

 ?

 if ($connection = mysql_connect(localhost, [username], [password]))

 echo hooray!;

 else

 echo oopsie!;

 ?

 I don't know what you think about all this, maybe I should download
 distributions and install them myself, but if I can sort it without having
 to that would be great as I'm only just starting to get my head around
Linux
 after all these years.

 Thanks for your help guys :)

Re: [PHP-DB] Embedded MySQL server (libmysqld)?

The libmysqld is meant to be used as a database server embeded into
application, not a replace or a lighter version of a database server, it
can´t be used with php to provide a web page to the internet in the way i
tink you want.

The way of using libmysql is for what i read the same way you would use a
mysql database.
It could be used with php to create a dinamic webpage into a cdrom with a
read-noly database.

If you dont want to pay the extra $$$ you could use plain text files, or use
a driver to treat text-files as databases, you can execute sql instructions
as if you were using a database but the results asre saved/fetched from a
textfile, is a slower but cheaper solution.

2004-02-23 Thread Ricardo Lopes
You can use:

- txtSQL http://txtsql.sourceforge.net/

Is not provided in php, you have to install it to the folder were you have
your scripts or reachable by it.
The sintax is not exactly as sql but is similar, the documentation included
seems to be very good.

I dont know if it does everything you need but it appears to have an fairly
complete list of features avaliable the main drawback is compatibility (the
sql instructions are not sql standard) and speed (its slower, but probably
you wont even notice it).

Re: [PHP-DB] Update Statement

you could use:

for ($i=0; $i max; $i++)
{
mysql_query(update Table1, Table2 set Table1.field1 = Table2.field2
where Table1.no = Table2.no);
}


OR if you use mysqlt daemon (support for transactions, in this case is best)

mysql_query('BEGIN');
for ($i=0; $i max; $i++)
{
   if (! mysql_query(update Table1, Table2 set Table1.field1 =
Table2.field2 where Table1.no = Table2.no))
{
mysql_query('ROLLBACK');
die('ERROR - in query nº: '.$i);
}
}
mysql_query(COMMIT');


Execute all or not execute none. I personally use adodb to connect to
databases and control transactions.

If what you really want is to execute then all in just one function call to
the database, i don't know how can you do it with your mysql version.

Re: [PHP-DB] Search results of a previous query?

2004-02-18 Thread Ricardo Lopes
You can concat to the 1º filter statement the 2º. ex:

SELECT * FROM atable WHERE (fieldname = fieldvalue) AND (fieldname2 =
fieldvalue2)

For the user to search twice in the same field i think you have to use the
LIKE operator instead of the = and use the % in the string as wildcard. ex:

1º Search:  Name = %Carlos%// Will return all Carlos
2º Search:  Name = %Triana%// Will return everybody that have
Carlos and Triana in any part of their name if used a sql like the one above
(with AND).

This could be done how many times you want with only one field or several.

Hi,
   
I have a table of Locations around the country. My system produces
  reports
based on these Locations. I also have a table containing Brick Codes
  e.g.
   
BrickPost Code
AB51AB51
AB52AB52

AB56AB56
AL01AL1
AL02AL2

How can I compare the first 3 or 4 letters of the postcode in the

table to the corresponding entry in the Brick Codes table so I can
add
  it
   to
my report?
   
Thanks for your help

Ignore the previous post it has an error. This is the corrected sql:

SELECT *
FROM Locations L, Brick B
WHERE (LEFT(L.'Post Code', LOCATE(' ', L.'Post Code'))  =  B.Brick)

This should do it.

  Thank you for your replies,
 
  The brick and postcode will never match so I need to compare the
Postcode
 in

  SELECT B.Brick
  FROM Locations L, Brick B
  WHERE (LEFT(L.Postcode,3) = LEFT(B.Postcode,3))
 
  The problem is that some of the postcodes stored in Brick have three

Re: [PHP-DB] - Resizeing Images stored in mysql db

2004-02-16 Thread Ricardo Lopes
To know the size of the images you could use a library like GD or something
like that.

You can also store one big image in your database and use the graphics
library to create a temporary image that will be send to the client with the
size / scale you want to send to the client. This way your 50k or 5000k
image will be used to create a small image ~5k that will be send to the
client.

Hope this helps

Re: [PHP-DB] Optimize Table

2004-02-13 Thread Ricardo Lopes
For the overhead i can't tell you anything, probably you will have something
in the mysql manual.

About the locking i supose that your users will be able to select from the
table, but wont be able to do updates, etc.. while the optimization ocurrs.
The database will probably put those instruction on hold till the
optimization ends, só you probably wont even have to care with that.

But the optimization is an expensive operation (consume many resources), so
the  best it to do it in a time when the operations on the database are
minimal or none. PhpmyAdmin or any other php script can be scheduled, they
only execute when a client request the page. But you can schedule a job in
you operative system to do that cron / at for *nix/linux, windows also have
schedule managers.

Hope it helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and mail forms

2004-01-30 Thread Ricardo Lopes
There are several ways to do this.
Some people like the approach:

if ($submit) { send_email(); }

or you can put a hidden field in your form, like op:

input name=op type=hidden id=op value=send /

and use:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['op'])  ($HTTP_GET_VARS['op'] == 'send'))
{
send_email();
}

and there are many others.
by the way in the code you wrote you have:

form method=post .

and then you use:

$id=$_GET['id'];  ---  if this is the same than $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'] this
wont work


Where does that mail function (is it a function?)  go?

The function sends an email, for more details consult the php manual.

Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP and mail forms


 Hello to all.

 I am trying to write a simple (at least I thought it was simple...)
Contact Us form that
 sends an email when it is submitted.

 The $to_name variable was passed from a previous page. I am sure that the
variable
 was passed, as I can echo it and it is being passed correctly - thanks to
this list!

 The problem I am having is this: I cannot quite figure out how an html
form handles this
 mail function when the to field is filled with an existing variable.

 This is what I've got: (I removed all of the table formatting to make it
clearer here)

 form name=mailer method=post action=? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
 input name=from_name type=text id=from_name
value=?=$from_name?
 input name=from_email type=text id=from_email
value=?=$from_email?
 input name=subject type=text id=subject value=?=$subject?
size=60
 textarea name=message cols=55 rows=15
 id=message?=$message?/textarea

 input name=userid type=hidden id=userid value=?$to_name? /
   input type=submit name=Submit value=mail

 So, I think that this sets up the form for processing, AFAIK.

 Then, I added the stuff that pulls the email address associated with the
id in $to_name
 from the MySQL database, and adds the string for the proper domain. I've
left out the
 connection stuff for clarity:

 $id=$_GET['id'];
 $string=@somedomain.com;
 $result= mysql_query(SELECT * FROM mydatabase WHERE ID=$id,$db);
 while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
 $to_name=$myrow[3]$string; } ?

 I know that the thing that actually sends mail looks like this:

 mail($to_name, $from_name, $subject, $message, From:
$from_email\nX-Mailer: PHP/
 .. phpversion());

 But how do I get this all to happen when the user hits the submit button?
Where does
 that mail function (is it a function?)  go? I have read a lot of stuff on
the various PHP lists
 and sources, but I just cannot figure out this piece of the puzzle.

 TIA for your suggestions, and for your patience with my lack of knowledge
here.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and mail forms

2004-01-30 Thread Ricardo Lopes
I would recomed you to use:

$to_name=$myrow[3].$string;  -- Notice the dot . and no 

instead of:

$to_name=$myrow[3]$string;

 On hitting the submit button, I see the server being called and data being
sent, but
 nothing is being received. I'm just wondering if I've appended those two
things correctly.

If you mean the server sends the email but it isnt recived in the other
server i can't help you i dont use the mail function, in this kind of
questions you should use the other mailing list instead of this, this is
only from database questions related to php.

Good luck.

BTW i guess there are other function you could use for sending email instead
of mail consult the php documentation to know more.

 Thanks again, Ricardo. I now have the form communicating with the server.

 I think that I might have an error in my script:

 Where I join together the value of the passed variable ($myrow[3]) and
the string
 containing the domain ( $string=@somedomain.com)  I used:

  $to_name=$myrow[3]$string

 If the passed variable's value is, for instance, smith, then does my
$to_name become:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 On hitting the submit button, I see the server being called and data being
sent, but
 nothing is being received. I'm just wondering if I've appended those two
things correctly.

 TIA for your continued assistance.

 Cheers --- Phil

Re: [PHP-DB] Unexpected Session Behavior on Mozilla

2004-01-29 Thread Ricardo Lopes
Both Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers when you have multiple windows
there is only one application instance running, this is done to save memory
and make the program run faster.

Probably (i'm not sure) Mozilla behaves diffent than Internet Explorer in
this situation. My advice is that you contact the mozilla mailing list and
they will give the answer you are looking for.

 Hello PHP-DB listers,

 I've a  PHP, MySQL Web Page script that branches according to browser
 (e.g., MSIE, or Mozilla ) and which uses a small number of session
 variables. I've noticed that when connecting through Explorer, for each
 browser / page instance opened on the same machine, there is a new session
 file created ( as I would expect ).  Yet when connecting through Mozilla
 on RH9, there is only one session file created per machine, which causes a
 second instance of the page to inherit the values of the session variables
 from the previously opened page. This is confusing to me, to say the
 least. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this is occurring?

 MySQL 4.0.16
 PHP 4.3.4
 Apache 2.0.48
 Win2K IE 5.50x
 RH9 Mozilla 1.2.1

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with passing variables

If you have something like this:

echo 'tda href=email.php?recip=$myrow[0]img src=graphics/mail.gif
class=imglink alt=Click to send mail to this person //a/td/tr';

It wont work. Use instead:

echo 'tda href=email.php?recip='.$myrow[0].'img
src=graphics/mail.gif class=imglink alt=Click to send mail to this
person //a/td/tr';

Notice the '. before the $myrow[0] and the .' after, any doubt see the
documentation about operators.

This is caused because the ' doesnt parse variables to values like the 
does.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Problem with passing variables


 Hello to all.

 I am a relative newcomer to PHP. I am trying to pass the value of a
variable from a
 MySQL database from one PHP page to another PHP page. On the first page,
I've made
 the connection to the database, and the query works just fine, displaying
the correct
 values from the $myrow fields.

 This is the code to that point:

 ?
 $db = mysql_connect(ip address here,user here,password here) or die
(Unable to
 connect to SQL server);
 mysql_select_db(databasename,$db);
 ;
 $result= mysql_query(SELECT * FROM databasename WHERE ID20,$db);
 echo'table

thtrtdName/tdtdTitle/tdtdPhone/tdtdE-mail/td/tr/th';
 while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
 echo'tr
 td'. $myrow[0].'/td
 td'. $myrow[1].'/td
 td'. $myrow[2].'/td

 This works just fine. Then I try to pass the variable $myrow[0] to a
second page, where
 the value of the variable (a string that contains a name) is supposed to
appear. Here's
 the line of code:

 tda href=email.php?recip=$myrow[0]img src=graphics/mail.gif
class=imglink
 alt=Click to send mail to this person //a/td/tr';


 The page receiving this variable, email.php, uses this to retrieve the
value of $myrow[0]:

 Send e-mail to ?php $recip=$_GET['recip']; echo $recip; ?


 However, all this manages to do is to print out this:

 Send e-mail to $myrow[0]

 Instead of the VALUE contained in the variable!

 What am I doing wrong?

 TIA --- Phil Matt

Hello all,

I'm in the midst of creating an internet speed test system thingamabob
for my website.  It's basically finished...but ugly as sin.  What I'd
like to do is have the results (an average of each domain tested) listed
in a nice pretty table with alternating background colors, kinda like a

Here's what I've got thus far:

?php

while ($mongorow = mysql_fetch_array($mongo, MYSQL_NUM)) { echo
trtd$mongorow[0]/tdtd$mongorow[1]/td/tr\n;}
echo /table;
?

And I'd like it to spit out something along these lines:
table
tr bgcolor=#ddtddomain1.com/tdtd666.6 kbps/td/tr tr

Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with passing variables

2004-01-27 Thread Ricardo Lopes
Yes, the sintax is correct (if you are inside an echo or inside a print
opened with ' and not with ). ex:

echo 'a href=email.php?foo='.$myrow[3].'?recip='.$myrow[0].' ';--
correct
echo a href=email.php?foo='.$myrow[3].'?recip='.$myrow[0].' ;   ---
error !!! (parse error)

I know that you must be using the first one, but just in case ...

You can also do something different, put your html code as html not as php
code as you are doing.
This will save time, because you dont need to scape the slashes '  , your
code will have less errors and it will run faster because the server doesnt
have to call the print or echo method from php. Example:

instead of:
?
echo 'tda href=email.php?recip=$myrow[0]img src=graphics/mail.gif
 class=imglink alt=Click to send mail to this person //a/td/tr';
?

use:
tda href=email.php?recip=? echo $myrow[0]; ?img
src=graphics/mail.gif
 class=imglink alt=Click to send mail to this person //a/td/tr

there is a shorter way to print but i dont remeber the sintax, if you want
to know consult the php manual.
it is something like ?=$var? i guess

This way the php sintax is reduced to its minimun.

Ricardo - That's it!  I did read a lot of PHP docs and mailing list posts
before I posted my question to this list, but never stumbled (and that's the
word, I'm afraid!) on the syntax explanation that would untangle this for
me.


If I want to pass additional variables for processing on the second page,
I'm assuming that the syntax would be (where $foo is another variable)


a href=email.php?foo='.$myrow[3].'?recip='.$myrow[0].' 


Thanks again for restoring my sanity!

Re: [PHP-DB] Results with ledger stripes?

2004-01-26 Thread Ricardo Lopes
I dont see what is your problem, your code do almost anything. Is you
pretend to generate the output in html as you show in the example, you just
have to add the color property in the td or tr tag, take care with the 
in the code. ex:

$dummy_var = 0;
$dummy_array = array(#dd, #ff);
while ($mongorow = mysql_fetch_array($mongo, MYSQL_NUM))
{
echo tr bgcolor=
.$dummy_array[$dummy_var].td$mongorow[0]/tdtd$mongorow[1]/td/tr
\n;
$dummy_var++;
}

And thats is it. You could use css or other things, thats up to you. Hope
thats solved.

Subject: [PHP-DB] replacing once with ereg_replace


 I have a problem with two possible solutions, I'm just not sure how to do
 either one.

 I have a number of pages and their links stored in a MySQL db. The links
 are stored without the leading slash (i.e. animals/birds/birds.htm).
 $PHP_SELF returns the link with the leading slash (i.e.
 /animals/birds/birds.htm).

 I need these two strings to match. There are two ways to do this:

 1) Solution: Remove the leading slash from $PHP_SELF
  Problem: How do remove only the first instance of the slash with
 ereg-replace and leave the others? Or is there another function that would
 do this? This may be obvious but I didn't see it in the documentation.

 2) Solution: Add the leading slash to each entry in the db (MySQL)
  Problem: How do I do this with a query without having to change each
 one manually? I know I can change the link field using UPDATE but how
would
 I tell MySQL to change the entry to / + entry? Each entry is obviously
 different. Using a plus makes MySQL think it's mathematical addition and
 sets the field to 0. The field type is varchar.

 Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

2004-01-19 Thread Ricardo Lopes
In my windows PHP installation i have to uncomment i line in the php.ini
file that has something like:

;extension=mssql.dll

you have to configure your php ini file.

Set extensions dir and uncomment the mssql.dll (you will probably have
mssql.so or something like that)

In my case the dll's where included by default in my installation.

I remeber that there was a section in the php.ini in which you could
configure some mssql params but i dont remeber if that was needed. it looks
like:

[mssql]
mssql.x=
mssql.x=

I didnt need to do any compilation to make it work, just uncommented some
lines and set the extensions dirs.

See your phpinfo() and look if the mssql was loadded (of curse it wasnt
because you had that error message.)

hope it helps.
