Re: [PHP-DB] MySql and PHP question
From memory earlier versions of MySQL don't support subselects. The
latest (and greatest) does so you may want to check the version you are
using - I can't remember when it was introduced, I have since switched
to PostGreSQL...
all the best,

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't help you with the query - I'm used to Oracle which as a
bigger set of SQL commands.
I can help you with your PHP question. If you want to put a variable in a
query, you can add the variable directly into the string:
$sql_query = select zg_longitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode =
'$zipcode';
Or (my favorite choice) you can break the string and add the variable with
.'s:
$sql_query = select zg_longitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode =
' . $zipcode . ';
With the first option, it is not always clear what is the variable and what
not.

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySql and PHP question
All,
I have a question as how I can return some results that I am looking
for. Ideally I'd like to run this sql statement but for some reason MySql
won't allow me to run it:
SELECT
*
FROM
zip_code
WHERE
zg_latitude between ((select zg_latitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode =
'78730')- 2) and
((select zg_latitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode = '78730') + 2) and
zg_longitude between ((select zg_longitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode
= '78730') - 2) and
((select zg_longitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode = '78730') + 2)
I get an error to check the mysql manual. This statement runs in an oracle
environment though.
I guess I am stuck with writing multiple queries and them tying them
together. In PHP how can I put a variable into the sql statement (if that's
possible). Let's say I have these queries:
select zg_longitude from zip_code where zg_zipcode = '78730'
This one pulls the zg_longitude from the zip_code table where the zip_code
is 78730 for instance. I want to take the result (one record) and put it in
this sql statment replacing 'result here':
select * from zip_code
where zg_longitude = ('result here'-2)
and zg_longitude = ('result here'+2)
order by zg_city asc
Can anyone help me with this or point me in a better direction?
Thanks

Re: [PHP-DB] Why isn't this working?
For more efficient code try the explode() function (You really only want
to use the regular expression functions for complex pattern matching,
looking for a comma is about as simple as it gets so use the standard
string functions)
explode (',',$Agent_Rep);

Not sure why you sent this to php-db, but have another look at the
preg_split documentation. You need '/,/' there to split on a comma.

Re: [PHP-DB] password in md5 to connect to mysql instead of clear password
Not answering your question but I'd put the connect info into a separate
include file. This should then be placed in a directory that can be
accessed by the Web Server but not by any other user (except root). Then
when you need to establish a connection you just need to include the file.

You need to remove the superfluous close bracket on after bar, and the
val is an array hence $val[0] to get the element displayed.

should be a valid MySQL result from a Select statement. Your script
doesn't explicitly establish a connection with the database so you could
be getting an error from that call, hence $sql_query would not be a
valid MySQL result. Try adding the following:
if (!$sql_query) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

Re: [PHP-DB] Assistance on Query
Can you do what you require by grouping by your type. setting a count
field and then a where count 3? However if you then need to know the
details from the three consecutive fields then I don;t think it can be
done in SQL so you'll need to revert to php.

I hope that clears things up a little.
yeah! I can't think how to do that offhand in SQL but in php it would
go a little like this...(I'm assuming an array of results is being

$output[] = $row;} else {
$tmp[] = $row;
}
} else {
$tmp = array();
$cNSTCount = 0;
}
}
return $output;
}
hope that give you an idea.

Hi People,
I would like some assistance on the following scenario.
I have to pull out all records for a particular userid (easy enough)
and
then only show those entries where the follwing occurs.
These records from the table will contain either an entry in the
services_type field or the non_services_type field. What I need to
do is
show only those where the number of consecutive records that contain an
entry in the non_services_type field is greater than or equal to 3
so example:-
record 1 contains an entry in non_services_type
record 2 contains an entry in services_type
record 3 contains an entry in non_services_type
record 4 contains an entry in non_services_type
record 5 contains an entry in non_services_type
record 6 contains an entry in services_type
so I would need to display records 3,4,5 only
Can anyone assist me with this?
Could you explain what the logic behind doing this is. i.e. Why?
(it might help to understand the problem, and possibly give a
solution that does not rely on 'consecutiveness')
I'm guessing you are using MySQL which is a relational DB, that means
the order of records stored is essentially abstracted from the DB
user, for instance using an ORDER BY clause will change the order of
the result and therefore the 'consectiveness' of the values.
It looks as if you will need to post-process the result set in PHP to
get what you want, alternatively your DB may support stored
procedures which could be an alternative (but harder to do than to do
it in PHP) i.e. the stored procedure works out the correct rows and
then outputs the result when you something like:
SELECT * FROM getConsecServiceRows( 3 )

Re: [PHP-DB] Slow Query
How many agents do you have? If the number of agents is small then you could set up a temp table which has a link to the agent, the client, and a calculation of the distance between the two. Then do your search on this temp table. Once you have the answer you want delete the records for this client. (that should allow for more than one client entering data at the same time, although you may want to properly think that scenario through) graeme. Wendell Frohwein wrote: First of all I would like to thank anyone who lends a hand in this matter. Here is what im working with. Redhat 9, PHP 5.0.2, Apache/2.0.50, MySQL 4.1.8-standard Binary Installation for pc-linux-i686, OpenSSL 0.9.7d, gcc version 3.2.2. PHP compiled with mysql, and mysqli capability. This is how the script works: The client submits a property for an appraisal. Based on the appraisal type and property zip code, It searches the database for agents / appraisers with the zip code in question (property zip code) in there coverage area (zip codes they are willing to do appraisal work for). So when it finds a match, It adds that order to there potential order list. It then waits for the to accept or decline the order. If accepted the order becomes there's and alerts all the other agents / appraisers that this order has already been accepted. The do the work, send it back job is done. This works fine right now rather it be a single order placed by a client, or a spreadsheet imported to the system with 2000 orders or more. So now you're saying if it works, why are you here asking for help? Well instead of searching agents with the exact zip code match, I would like to search a radius of zip codes. The first search would be a 2 mile radius, the next search (incase the first did not return any result) would be 5 mile radius. I purchased some software (php / mysql sql files) that contains every zipcode in the united states along with a longitude and latitude for each zip code. So the zip code script provided with this software allows you to 1) enter a zip code and miles in radius, it will then spit out all the zip codes in that radius into an array. 2) you can give it 2 zip codes and it will tell you the distance in miles between the 2 (give or take). So I rewrote my script to do the follow: The client submits a property for an appraisal. Based on the appraisal type and property zip code, It does a radius search of 2 miles from the property zip. If no matches are found, it does a 5 mile radius search. For every zip code returned by each radius search, It searches the database for agents / appraisers with the zip code in question (zip codes from radius search) in there coverage. This is the most stressful part I am assuming. This works fine for 1 - 10 orders. But when I import 30 or more, the script pretty much hangs as well as mysql. I have to kill mysql with signal 9, start mysql it up again. Then all is back to normal. I would paste the code in here but it is really long and complicated. I was hoping on the based on the operation of the script, someone would suggest a better and faster way to search zip code radius, while matching the results to agents within the system. If I am asking for way to much time from someone, I apologize. If someone is really interested in helping me sort this out, I could send you code samples to see the process. -Wendell Frohwein -- Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in terrific bills.

I'll assume that your table has a field named 'category' - otherwise
the statement should throw you a big error :-) BUT is it a character
data field (i.e. does it contain text)? AND do you actually have rows
where the value of the category field is '39 47 48 172' - in order to
get rows returned when running your example query the value needs to
match this string EXACTLY.
Given the fact that using mysql control center give you the desired
result the above probably was a waste of time typing. Given that fact
the only thing I can think of is that you have a extra space floating
about (but I can't see it in the code your provided)
does the output of mysql_error() provide any feedback?
(what an odd problem!)
When I run the same query in MYSQL Control center or Query Browser,
no problem. I use this function template for my SELECT statements.

Because your query and echoes are within an if block, I'd say that
$submit is evaluating to FALSE, and thus not executing the query and
echoes.
Add (before the if statement):
echo Submit = $submit;
Make sure that $submit is evaluating to TRUE.
To All Beginning Programmers (Newbies), or just people who want to
easily debug their code:
Try adding debugging statements to help you find problems. A few echoes
or prints in selected locations will help identify the issue. Make sure
your variables are evaluating to values that you think they should be.
If you want to keep the debugging statements in your code and just
activate them when you need to see them, do something like:
// near the top of your code
$debug=TRUE;
// and anywehere in your code
if ($debug) {
echo DEBUG: Submit = $submit
\n;
}
// or whatever echo might help you nail down the problem. Put as many of
these in your code and you can turm them ON and OFF very easily, by
changing one line of code.
OR for even quicker debugging, replace $debug=TRUE; with
$debug=$_GET['debug'];
and then you can turn it on in by adding ?debug=TRUE at the end of the
URL. Example: http://www.php.net/path/my.html?debug=TRUE
or: http://www.php.net/path/my.html?debug=1
**DISCLAIMER** Using the URL method is NOT a secure way to do this!!!
And I'm sure there's plenty of folks groaning out there because it is a
BIG security hole. You really would want to do this on a development
machine and network, and remove the debug code for production. That
really should go without saying.
Good luck.

Re: [PHP-DB] want to execute comments on new pages after clicking submit.
The purpose of putting the echo Submit = $submit; is to find out what
is happening with your code. Once everything is working correctly they
will be removed. What you need to find out is what is being held in the
variable submit when you move from one page to the next, a point when
you are expecting to enter the if($submit) clause.
I hope that clarifies it a bit.
all the best,

Re: [PHP-DB] Loading large volumes of data
I'd think you want to index the table. Since you are doing a search on an un-index table for each word, that overhead will be more than creating an entry in an index table. Entering an index entry will require the routine to determine where the entry should be but it will be looking for that in a sorted list and so it will be able to determine if the entry exist or not fairly quickly, whereas the search on the unsorted list requires a search of all entries 340,000 and counting (a binary search would only require 19 comparisons ln N, sure there will still be some overhead on insert and the occasional re indexing) graeme. Evan Morris wrote: This is more a process question that is not specific to PHP, but maybe someone can help me. I have a text file containing strings. The text file is pretty massive, about 895 MB. I need to load the words in the text file into the database in such a way that there is a single occurrence of each word in the table. What this means is the script has to read each word in the file, check if the word is in the table, and if not, add it. Obviously as the table grows, the rate of execution drops because the number of checks that have to be made increases as more words are added to the table. Does anyone know of an efficient way to do this? There are over a million lines in the file, and my script is at about 340 000 having run overnight. I need to get the data into the table much faster than that. I considered hashing the file in memory (ie, doing the uniqueness checking in an associative array) but am not sure how much RAM that would consume and I don't want to crash the server. I have also not indexed the table because my gut feel was that the overhead of constantly updating an indexed table would cancel out the gain of checking an indexed table. Is that true?

Re: [PHP-DB] Generate Menu based on database structure
Hi, Rather than writing a recursive function I'd suggest that you create a menu class and store each record as an object of the class. The menu class will have variables of id, parent, title, children, and tree. The children will be initialised to 0 and tree will be initialised to 1. You will need to write a function to find any menu object given the menu's ID, should be easy if you store each object in an array (keyed on the ID) 1) Read in a record and create a menu object 2) Get the parent object, using the parent variable and the find method 3) Increment the children variable in the parent menu object by one 4) Set the tree variable in the new menu object to the tree object in the parent object plus the value in the children object. Now add method to display the menu items and your problem should be solved. Gavin Amm wrote: Hi guys, I need to generate a menu based on the content structure of my database.

The text in the brackets is what I'm trying to achieve, the rest is just for aesthetics ease of reading. (The children of the row id=1 are the top of the menu tree, ie they will be the menu categories at the top of the web page to display the menu when the mouse hovers over it.)

I have php and mysql installed on my freebsd machine.
I have a database iweb with tables employee and emp2.
I need to walk table employee and see if emp2 has a

I need to update some values in emp2. If there is no match,
I need to create a new record in emp2 and load values.
Is there a tutorial that shows how to do something this basic ?

Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array() question
I concur with Jason, but if restructuring is out of the question, just
rearrange your queries like this:
$query = SELECT Name, Address FROM users;
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($details = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo Name: $details[Name];
echo Address: $details[Address];
}
$query2 = SELECT EmailAddress From Members;
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
while($details = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
echo Email: $Email[EmailAddress];
}
The results won't come out at the same time, but you could use some
logic to combine the results into an array by a common factor. Just
remember that you can only work with one mysql result per connection at
a time. You *may* (untested!) be able to accomplish what you want to do
with two separate connections, but again, this is seriously overkill. :)
I'd definitely recommend restructuring your talbes as Jason suggested.

Unless I've missed something you're going about this the wrong way. For
what
you want to do, you should (in general) be able to accomplish it using
just a
single query.
What fields do the tables 'users' and 'Members' contain? There should be
a
field there (like eg. userid) which links the two together. If there
isn't
one then you should seriously restructure your tables so that there is
one.

how about a default value...so if you use a CHECKBOX_FIELD1 ENUM('Y', 'N')
DEFAULT N type of definition, then if box is not checked, then it will
deault to N otherwise a Y will override the default.
just a thoughtdont' know if it will work for you or not...

If you want to have an answer for each item, you should use yes/no radio
buttons. With checkboxes you only get yes answer, as you are aware.
The assumption is that you could care less about no answers since you
are only interested in the yes set.
Checkboxes reveal yes answers, radio buttons can reveal yes or no
(or perhaps no answer if there is no default).
If you want to stick with checkboxes, then I would have a hidden field
for each checkbox you have. The hidden field could then be set with a
yes or no value via javascript and an onChange event capture.

Try to assign a value for each of these variables, or elements of array.
If it is checked let's say is =1,otherwise=0. Then grab the whole set of
variables with GET_VARS or something like this. Create the new array in
the page where you insert data, and then use if's to insert data in your
tables.
I am pretty sure is not the cleanest way, but I hope it makes sense.

Unchecked checkboxed do not return a value. They don't return a NULL or
empty string or anything. So what you have to do is check to see if the
variable is set. If it is set, then it's checked, if it's not set, then
it's unchecked.
Kinda sucks if your variable names are dynamic, I just erase the whole
record and re-insert in that case.

[PHP-DB] Inserting checkbox data
Hi all, I'm having a problem inserting a value from a checkbox into a MySQL DB. I can
print out what the variable holds, the problem is it just won't go into the DB. Weird
thing is when I login to SSH there isn't a NULL value for it instead that field is
just blank.
Anyone got any ideas what the problem is?
The HTML that is used for the checkbox is:
Gift Wrapping: input type=checkbox Name=GiftWrapping[] Value=\Y\
So it should theoretically insert Y into the DB
Here is the code that appears to be causing the problem:
$number=count($GiftWrapping);
for($a=0;$a=$number;$a++)
{
echo $GiftWrapping[$a];
$GW = $GiftWrapping[$a];
echo $GW;
}
if ($Submit == Submit) {
$sql = INSERT INTO SiteMember SET
FirstName = '$FirstName',
LastName = '$LastName'
Username = '$Username',
Password = '$Password',
GiftWrapping = '$GW';
}
Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: [PHP-DB] Inserting checkbox data
Mihail, thanx for your advice, I've got it going now ! :) Thank you !
Richard, your points were valid, the HTML code with the slashes was just a
copy n' paste from a PHP script and the comma I think I deleted by accident
so its all sorted now.
Thank you again!

Graeme,
first, extend the for loop over the if and the query for insertion of
data. As you have it now, it just inserts the last element of the array.
second, I think that the for loop should be $a$number. if you put =,
then the loop is processing the array with the last value not assigned by
you (an extra element in the array).
Hope it helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] Oracle Oci*Logon
Quoting Andrey Hristov [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can someone tell more about OciPLogon. I'm sure Theis will add to this but here goes... :) I know that OciLogon is used frequently but the connection to the DB is shared amongst the pages so as in the common way where every page in a site uses one pair user/password use the only channel. When one script makes commit it commits all, so if two scripts subsequently made insert but one thinks that there was a fail it will issue rollback. The problem is that the other script issued commit and rollback does nothing. Someone can tell that the decision is using OciNLogon - ok but I know that this is the most time consuming way to connect to Oracle. The refined question is: Does OciPlogon is like OciLogon - one channel, one scripts commits/rollbacks all statements, or it is like OciNLogon but the connection is not made everytime a scripts want such but used already created one?. Oracle connections work across 3 levels, the server, the session and the service. AFAIK, transactions work at the service level which is the 'top' level. Persistent connections operate at the session level. Tus a persistent connection is maintained across Apache children by keeping the bottom level or server context open. We did run into problems because we have very high traffic sites and we have 100 Apache children running. Because our junior programmer decided to hammer the server with a web stress tool, al the children ran up connections which combined with connections on other web server made us run out of sessions. Dropping back to icologon() for a while helped the problem. Anyway, to answer your question, persistent logins will not affect transactions across processes as far as I'm aware. There may be some locking/isolations issues if a simultaneous read/write occurs but Oracle should handle that anyway. ocinlogon() is used to guarantee an isolated connection which will not affect any outstanding transactions. You only usually do this when you want to do a seperate set of operations in the middle of a transaction in a script. One more question : When PHP and Oracle works on one machine to make all work the enviroment variable ORACLE_HOME has to be set for example : /***/ // set ORACLE Dir to get the NET8 name resolver working // tnsnames.ora has to be in $ORACLE_HOME/networking/admin/ putenv(ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5); This is bad. As Theis has pointed out proviously, PHP modules perform certain operations at Apache startup and shutdown as well as script startup and shutdown. Setting things like ORACLE_HOME, NLS_LANG and so on in your script can cause some problems as some of the module has already been initialised before your script executes. You're better off putting this stuff in somewhere like the apachectl script. /***/ but if my web server is an Apache under windows and the oracle is on other machine under Linux(RH), what have to be done to make my PHP work with the DB. Windows is a slightly different beast. Normally the environment stuff is handled in windows and you don't need to setup anything with putenv. Use your Net8 Configuration assistant which is part of the Oracle Windows client libraries to create the correct TNSNAMES.ORA. AFAIK (I've never tried not to) you must specify the SID when connecting under windows in a PHP script.

Re: [PHP-DB] oracle (oci8) intro
Quoting Cynic [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi there, I'm in a situation where I need to produce a small app on top of an Oracle server really quickly. I'm quite a seasoned developer, but have only experience with MySQL so far. It's my understanding that Oracle lacks the MySQL's LIMIT feature. Looking at the OCI section of the PHP manual, it also looks like there's no OCIDataSeek() or some equivalent. Since the app I need to build will be a standard report builder with paging, I need this functionality. What is the common way to achieve this? Always fetch all rows, cycling through the resultset, discarding the records that preceed the one I want to start displaying with, and quit when I reach the one where the page should end? Is there a PHP + OCI tutorial somewhere? I need an intro to Oracle, and I need it now. :( Thies has an Oracle/PHP tutorial online at http://conf.php.net/ which may be of some assitance. The LIMIT problem is a real bitch is Oracle. There are a few ways to get around it, the most obvious people use being ROWNUM. However, ROWNUM does not listen to sorting which makes life amusing. One option is to try a query like the following: SELECT * FROM (SELECT field1, field2 FROM table WHERE id10 ORDER BY field1 DESC) WHERE ROWNUM11 which gives you 10 rows, but still leaves the question of paging behind unless you use between values. I can't say I've tried paging record sets though.

[PHP-DB] RE: Informix user wierdness
This is more an Informix question rather than a PHP question but
I hope someone can help
I've installed the Linux-SE version and CSDK of Informix from
informix.com and installation has gone fine including createing
the demo DB. I can also start 'dbaccess' and browse/query the
tables so the envvars seem fine.
However, when I endeavour to use the PHP functions, I get an
error in ifx_connect()
I constantly get the error:
E [SQLSTATE=IX 000 SQLCODE=-952]
User ()'s password is not correct for the database server.
Note how the username field is empty. What's the procedure for
'logging in' to the DB? I created the demo DB as a normal user
and I've read that the user auth stuff is done through the
operating system.
Using 'dbaccess' to try and connect to the DB as the same user
rather then starting dbaccess in the DB dir causes the same error
to occur so it's obviously something in the setup.
My sqlhosts line is 'demo_se seipcpipdev sqlexec'
and the ifx_connect line is 'ifx_connect("stores7@demo_se",
"testuser", "mypasswd")'
Answered my own question after taking some time out ;). Here's what I found
for the sake of the archives.
Turns out Informix has some sort of PAM/shadow password problem which means
it won't talk nicely because it tries to auth the user, but because of the
bug it can't get the user and therein lies the problem.
Luckily I'm on a dev box so I was able to run 'pwunconv' to return my passwd
file to a non shadow state which in a production system is 'not a good
thing'(tm)
A search in comp.databases.informix on google/deja on shadow and PAM etc
will reveal the problem. Apparently there are workarounds for this but I
haven't found the, yet. I suspect they will require surgery to something
important :)

[PHP-DB] pg_put_line and file()
Hi.
I was tinkering around with pg_put_line and pg_end_copy and rather than
inserting data from a variable as per the example, I was wondering if it was
posible to insert the data from a delimited file via these two functions.
I produced a dump from postgres and tried inserting the data raw
$text = file("test.sql");
$db = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=testing user=testing");
pg_exec($db, "COPY test FROM stdin");
foreach($text as $line) {
echo $line, "BR";
pg_put_line($db,$line);
flush();
}
pg_end_copy($db);
but this caused an error to occur. The example in the docs had the new lines
and tabs escaped so I tried that as well with addslashes()
$text = file("test.sql");
$db = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=graeme user=graeme");
pg_exec($db, "COPY test FROM stdin");
foreach($text as $line) {
$line = addslashes($line);
$line = ereg_replace(9,"\\t",$line);
$line = ereg_replace(10,"\\n",$line);
echo $line, "BR";
pg_put_line($db,$line);
flush();
}
pg_end_copy($db);
and while the data was exactly the same format as the example, I managed to
get postgres stuck in COPY and had to manually kill the postgres COPY
process to recover.
Any one have any ideas?
