[PHP-DB] dump data, and save as a file
Hi everyone,
I want to dump some data from mysql into a file, and use php to force the browser to
pop a download file window. This seems a simple procedure, but I am having trouble to
make it work with IE. The following is what I did:
ob_start();
$query = SELECT * FROM table;
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['data'];
}
header(Cache-control: private);
header(Content-Type: application/txt);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt);
//Note: I also tried: header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=test.txt);
ob_end_flush();
*
It seems OK with Netscape, but with IE, all I got is all data displayed on the screen
even with ob_start(). I also tried echo the data after header(), I have the same
result. I have spent a long time on this, and searched for information on
www.php.net, but can not find an answer. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP-DB] Linux+php+remote MS SQL
John, Thank you so much for your response to my post. As I mentioned before, a few things in this project are new to me: remote access, MS SQL and SSL. Your experience gives me more confidence although I still have a lot to learn. I am sure I will need people's help here later on. Thanks again. Thank php-db list too. Ruth - Original Message - From: John Krewson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2002 3:06 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Linux+php+remote MS SQL We are currently running two report generation applications where PHP is running on Linux machines and queries data from Windows NT servers running MSSQL 7.0 We have reports that deal with millions of records, and whether they run for 4 minutes or 20, I have only seen robust results from the PHP/MSSQL combination. (I know, 20 minutes is a long time...I didn't say that all of my SQL statements were robust (-: ) Regarding remote access to SQL server 7, as far as I know the only way to access SQL Server remotely is from another machine also running SQL server. From SQL Server Enterprise Manager you can add databases to access, setting the login properties to either use Windows authentication or SQL server authentication. SQL Server has great documentation, their Books Online, and is, I believe, a pretty easy app to figure out. Remotely you can add databases, change users, run queries, etc...again the only downside is that you need to be on windows running SQL Server on the client. I've looked for a remote SQL Server tool that could run on OSX or Linux, but have not yet found one that meets all my needs...anyone? You asked if your setup will slow down the application. I have to ask, is the DB server going to be behind a firewall? I'm no networking guru, but we had some speed issues initially when our DB server was behine the firewall and the apache server was not. It seemed to me that there was time spent moving data back and forth, as now that we have both machines behind the firewall things have speeded up considerably. The real lesson I learned, however, was to make every connection count, as in get as much data as possible per query and lean on the Linux box to process, sort, count, etc if I could rather than getting a small chunk of data, going back to the DB, etc etc. Considering how easy it is to remotely administer a Linux machine, it's too bad you can't have it with the DB machine. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your last question regarding PHP's mssql functions vs. ODBC. I do not and have never used ODBC to connect PHP to SQL Server, although in our situation I think it would add a layer of complexity and possibly slow things down a bit, but that's just a guess. I'm assuming you were asking if using connecting via ODBC is slower. See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/alberto2919.php3 for more specific info regarding setup and mssql libraries. Hope this was helpful. Once you get started you should be able to find plenty of info in the php-db mailing list archive regarding how to make this setup work.

Re: [PHP-DB] access DB via PHP classes
Thank you again, Wilmar. As a newbie for OOP, I will keep my option open when I design this application. I have not come to a conclusion which way is better than another (I wish I had time to test all possibilities). I appreciate your comments, and will keep them in mind.

You can even just have the basic class and execute some code in the constructor that connects or not to the database depending on a parameter you pass to it. As I told you before, I'm very newbie to OOP as well, but think that may work well.

[PHP-DB] access DB via PHP classes
Hi All, Although I am not so new to PHP (not expert either), this is the first time for me to use PHP class. I am starting a project, and plan to use partially OOP and partially traditional programming. I use PHP/MySQL. I have one class, DB_Do, which does every thing to do with database, and several other classes. When I start my design, I realized that very often, other classes need to access database, eg. I have an Access_Control class which controls all accesses to pages in the application. One of methods in this class is to authenticate the user login via user name and password stored in the database. I am not sure if I should use an object of DB_Do within the method of Access_Control or write separate code to access the database for the user name and password. It seems that I loose purpose of OOP if I write the separate code. However, I am not sure if creating the object within other class is efficient? I would appreciate if some one there could give me some suggestions about this. Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP-DB] access DB via PHP classes
Thanks Wilmar, for sharing your experience with me. My problem now is that I have already got a class to do every thing related to database.

[PHP-DB] Global variables, $_GET problem
Hello php friends,
We just upgraded our PHP to version 4.2.1. I realized that $var is no
longer available from www.url.com/myphp.php?var=3 . As instructed in the
document, we have tried two things:
1. I tried to use $_GET('var'), however, I got Fatal error: Call to
undefined function: array() in /home/httpd/... message. I have no clue
what this means, and what I have done wrong.
2. Set register_globals = on in the configuration file. This did not make
any difference.
I don's know what to do now. Your help is highly appreciated.
