Not sure if it's important but I'm using persistent connections. test out your server. create a test script to load the results into an array. keep track of memory usage. then calculate that to how much traffic that script will be seeing. so taking that into consideration, if you run separate boxes for your web server/php and db, you can balance out: lots of hits on memory on the web server or lots of disc access on the db server if you decide to go with the re-call the db server paging methods... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] HELP: best way to TEXT dump a MySQL table to a local file...
project i'm working with, his host died or something.
but, the phpMyadmin (on that host) can NOT do a backup of 200mb table
without running out of memory or something weird.
so what is the best way to text dump the table?
i thought i would (pseudo-code):
open DB
do while not EOF
grab 1000 rows from DB
write to a file on host www path
filename = filename000 + 1
until EOF
user would then FTP down the files to his machine.
but i figured i could use the HEADER to send it to the user.
i grabbed this from the HEADER help section:
?php
$output_file = 'something.txt';
$content_len = 666;
@ob_end_clean();
@ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
header('Content-Type: application/octetstream; name=' . $output_file .
'');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . $output_file . '');
header(Content-length: $content_len);
?
is that the best way to send the txt file to the user?
thanks...

Re: [PHP-DB] date
depends on how you are entering data... if through a client, then you have to format it as MYSQL wants it. if you're going through PHP (afterall, this is a PHP DB list... ;-)), then accept it anyway you wanna, through a form on a web page, then your script will handle the convertion on how MYSQL wants it... and yes, the date thing going from PHP to MYSQL and visa versa was a toughie for me to grasp. then i read a chapter on a book that made sense... ax wrote: if i unput the values 10/10/2001 into mysql database, would mysql or php recognize that as a date?? i am a bit confused. i inserted few dates in the above format and asked mysql to list them by date and it does not seem to work. any suggestions?? please :) ax -- Leo G.

Re: [PHP-DB] problem with dbase connections using ODBC
boy, if i remember my old dbase days, dbase uses a table locking
scheme. and a pessimistic locking style.
if you are just querying the table, how about making a copy of it when a
local user opens it and again, when they close it. your remote users
will then query the copy...

Re: [PHP-DB] html generated web pages
still, you have to make a way for your website to store the preferences of each user/web visitor, right? you can save the info in text file, somewhere not in the WEB DOCS path. that way, hackers cant break your webserver and browse outside the normal web pages path. (hacker can break into the machine itself and peek around, but that's a diff subject) so now that that preferences are saved, all the user have to do is log in and when the web page is generated for them, the variables for the color settings, etc. is set. now, like what rick e. said, this will take hour(s) of coding. i cant even begin to give psuedo-code. 1. login 2. once logged in, setup script will read settings from somewhere, either a simple teext file or a database. 3. set web page color tags, images, etc. in variables. 4. generate HTML page from php scripts using said variables from #3 5. user is happy... you make millions... ;-) RSalomo wrote: i'm sorry but i don't quite understand here. yes, i'm looking for a theoritical (logical) answers or quick and dirty solutions. since i'm a newbie here. i guess i'll do more reading and searching. thank you very much rick, joe, olinux o and others for replying. rudy - Original Message - From: Rick Emery [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 19:55 Now...I understand. To accomplish what you want requires that you store user preferences in a database of some sorts. Then extract those preferences and insert them as HTML attributes to various tags. First, I would recommend that you use Cascading Style Sheets to set-up CLASSes and IDs for each user. Store those CSS elements in the user database and use them to generate your HTML. I don't know what database engine you have access to (MySQL, MSSQL, SYBASE,, etc), so you must learn the intricacies of the engine. I'm assuming PHP will be your server-side script engine. If you're looking for a quick and dirty solution from this list, I don't believe you'll get it. Rather, what you propose will take many hours of coding and testing.

Re: [PHP-DB] webpage counters
