i would add a second table and also store the totals
in the lyrics table like you suggested

then you can do things like top 10 this week / top 10
this month and make sure its not being abused 

LYRICS_RATINGS - id | lyric_id | rating | vote_date |
remote_addr

same idea for hits/impressions

Re: [PHP-DB] Compiling 4.2.3 with MySQL ... what does it look for?

 X-posted to PHP General, PHP DB, and MySQL
 
 Hi gang
 
 Attempting to get my Linux test-server working, but
 ran into a problem when 
 making PHP...
 
 System is RedHat 8, Apache 1.3.27 (compiled myself,
 tested OK), MySQL 4.0.13.
 
 The Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2 that came w. RH8
 didn't work correctly, 
 thus I've ventured into my own creation.
 
 Trying to build PHP 4.2.3 (because that's what my
 webhost runs, so need 
 that version to test correctly) w. support for
 MySQL. Running
 
 ./configure --with-mysql=/[path to mysql]
 --with-apxs=/[path to apxs]
 
 Found the path to the apxs to be
 /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs, but for the 
 life of me I cannot figure out what path to give it
 for MySQL. I installed 
 MySQL from the the RPM files:
 MySQL-client-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
 MySQL-devel-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
 MySQL-embedded-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
 MySQL-server-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
 MySQL-shared-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
 
 client and server first, the rest second ... used
 --force to get them in, 
 because it complained about version issues with the
 one already there (even 
 though the package manager was told not to put the
 Mysql in, it still put 
 MySQL 3.something in...)
 
 When doing the configure above, I get this error:
 
 configure: error: Cannot find header files under
 /usr/include
 
 or whatever path I give it ... I'm having a hard
 time figuring out where 
 the RPM puts everything, and an even harder time
 figuring out what path to 
 stick to PHP ...
 
 Some detective work gave me these paths:
 
 MySQL (bins):
 /usr/bin
 /usr/share/mysql
 MySQL daemon (mysqld):
 /usr/libexec
 /usr/sbin
 MySQL headers (.h):
 /usr/include/mysql
 
 I've tried them all, but they all result in the
 above error. Anyone care to 
 guess which path I should give to the configure?
 
 Or is it something else that causes this?
 I haven't ever used MySQL before, or any other SQL
 for that matter, so got 
 0 experience in getting the system up and running
 with it...
 
 TIA
 
 Rene

 Basically, in MySQL there is no way to do it without
 using a large number of
 queries if you have the traditional table layout
 with a record_id and a
 parent_id in each, so that the table relates to
 itself.
 

There is one way - grab the entire table and loop it
into a multi-array and process it with PHP. 

$categories[parent_id][category_id]

So all subcats of category_id 5 are in 
$categories[5]

Of course this will not be the best approach for large
category structures.

You can use basically the same code flow as the
recursive loop Paul posted to go thru this array.
instead of query for subcats you already have them in
the array.

 itself.
 
 The only suggestion I can really offer is to make
 sure you are indexing the
 parent_id as well as the record_id.
 
 In the php code, make it a little less nasty by
 using a function
 recursively, for example:
 
 ?php
 function list_sub_cats($p = 0) {
 
 $str = '';
 $q = 'SELECT cat_id,cat_name FROM cats WHERE
 cat_parent=' . $p . '';
 $r = mysql_query($q,$dbh);
 if (mysql_num_rows($r)  0) {
 $str .= 'ul';
 while ($s = mysql_fetch_assoc($r)) {
 $str .= 'li' . $s['cat_name'];
 $str .= list_sub_cats($s['cat_id']);
 $str .= '/li';
 }
 $str .= '/ul';
 }
 return $str;
 }
 ?
 
 Calling list_sub_cats() above should return a nested
 unordered list in HTML
 of your categories (hasn't been tested, though).
 
 If you were using Oracle, you could use a CONNECT BY
 term in your query or
 write a stored procedure to give you back the tree. 
 See this site for
 details:
 
 http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/trees.html
 
 If you aren't tied to that database structure, you
 could investigate the
 must faster de-normalized alternative nested set
 model that is often
 mentioned on this list:

There are two ways that I know of the adjacency model

adjacency model uses a table structure like 
category_id | parent_id | category_name

so if i want to see all categories belonging to
category 12
- SELECT * FROM cat_table WHERE parent_id=12;

there are a few articles out there on this. not sure
where at the moment, but you know what its called now.

RE: [PHP-DB] Accessing data from next row? (mysql)

2002-10-14 Thread olinux

I just did something similar where I had a left join
that returns several rows for each record. So to make
sure that each record is outputted once and contains
the correct 'categories' at the end of the while i
store the current $id as $prev_id. This way I can
check to see if we're working on the same listing
($id==$prev_id) and just adding a category or if it is
a new listing ($id!=$prev_id).


table listings contains company info
table categories contains the categories that they may
beloing to 
table l_categories ties the two together

QUERY:
SELECT * FROM listings l
LEFT JOIN l_categories lc ON l.l_id = lc.l_id
LEFT JOIN categories c ON lc.cat_id = c.cat_id
WHERE l.b_id = '.$_SESSION[b_id].'
ORDER BY l.l_id

$prev_id = '';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if ($row[l_id] == $prev_id)
{
$listing .= '- '.$row[category].'br';
}
elseif ($row[l_id] != $prev_id)
{
if ($prev_id != '')
{
// not first listing
$content .= $listing.'/td/tr
trtd[a
href=edit.php?l_id='.$prev_id.'Modify/a]
/td/tr
trtdnbsp;/td/tr';
$listing = '';
}

$listing .= 'trtd bgcolor=#EE
strong'.$row[l_name].'/strong
/td/tr
trtd
'.$row[l_address].'br
'.$row[l_city].', '.$row[l_state].'
'.$row[l_zip].'br
strongPhone:/strong

strongToll-Free:/strong

strongEmail:/strong '.$row[l_email].'br
strongDescription:/strong

strongCategories:/strongbr -

}

Then after the while loop I do this to finish off the
list and provide the edit link

$content .= $listing.'/td/tr
trtd[a
href=edit.php?l_id='.$prev_id.'Modify/a]
/td/tr
trtdnbsp;/td/tr';
$listing = '';

Re: [PHP-DB] Return Results in Categories - like CNET

2002-08-16 Thread olinux

I am just trying to return a few results from each
category. like this:
http://cnet.search.com/search?timeout=3q=php

sql query example:
SELECT id, article_date, category, region, title FROM
articles WHERE MATCH (title,article) AGAINST
('$search_word');

There are 20 possible categories that may return
so multiple selects could provide what I need - but
not much sense in running 20 queries for each search

Here is an example that would work by running multiple
queries.

SELECT id, article_date, category, region, title FROM
articles WHERE MATCH (title,article) AGAINST
('$search_word') AND category = 'news' LIMIT 0,5;
/* display up to 5 news category matches and link to
'more news results' */

SELECT id, article_date, category, region, title FROM
articles WHERE MATCH (title,article) AGAINST
('$search_word') AND category = 'features' LIMIT 0,5;
/* display up to 5 news category matches and link to
'more features results' */

SELECT id, article_date, category, region, title FROM
articles WHERE MATCH (title,article) AGAINST
('$search_word') AND category = 'coverstory' LIMIT
0,5;
/* display up to 5 coverstory category matches and
link to 'more coverstory results' */

Re: [PHP-DB] Can I be an ASP with PHP?

You can connect to remote servers - but i'm guesssing

 I have a question to which I'm pretty sure the
 answer will be no, but 
 I would like to hope I'm wrong...
 
 I've developed a very simple Content Management
 tool--called 
 Europa--that even retarded monkeys can use to
 change/update text in 
 their web site. It's web-based, user-authenticated
 (sessions), and runs 
 with PHP4 and MySQL.
 
 Now, Europa is pretty much plug and play, so long as
 the web site is 
 getting its text from a MySQL database. There's a
 web agency in town 
 that is interested in Europa for their clients.
 Their clients want to be 
 able to easily and quickly update certain elements
 of their site without 
 begging some outside webmaster. They would really
 benefit from Europa.
 
 Problem: I don't want to sell Europa, or even
 install it on someone's 
 web server for a one-time fee. I've spent a long
 time on this little 
 tool, and want to continue to improve it. So, I
 would rather license it 
 to companies. They pay a quarterly subscription fee,
 and get to use 
 Europa as it continues to grow and improve.  I'm
 just a little worried 
 about one thing: If I install Europa on their
 server, and they pay their 
 paltry quarterly subscription fee, and then decide
 they don't need any 
 updates, I'm screwed. The value of Europa is much
 greater than what I 
 want to sell subscriptions to it for (not much--I'm
 not really greedy), 
 but I need some kind of control.
 
 The idea: In order for Joe User to update text on
 his web site, he comes 
 to my Europa web site, enters his company name,
 user ID, password, and 
 clicks Login, and--voilà--he sees a handsome list of
 tables containing 
 the text content of his site--which is pulled from a
 MySQL database 
 residing on HIS web site's web host.
 
 And this is the trick: Can PHP somehow fetch MySQL
 data over the 
 Internet? Is this possible? If so, is it necessary
 for me to resort to 
 new, unknown technologies like XML or SOAP, or can I
 do it with PHP 
 alone?
 
 Thanks for your comments.

[PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Re: arguments against php / mysql?

2002-04-12 Thread olinux

Sun Microsystems makes a package called ChiliSoft that
allows Unix servers to run ASP. I have done a minimal
amount of checking into this, but the majority opinion
is that this is a bad idea. 
http://www.chilisoft.com

There is also an app called ASP2PHP that converts ASP
code to PHP. I have to think that many tweaks would be
necessary before you coun on the code, but may speed
things up enough that you could go the recoding route.


I've run into a similar situation (our company has
recent investments in ASP/MSSQL applications). I
proposed the idea of running 2 servers, being that the
databases will practivally always function separately.

 Thanks to Michael, Barry, Steve, Cal and Rasmus for

 We have just taken a contract for a dedicated

 So that being the case, am I picking up the message
 that the criticisms are basically correct? ie.
 no-one ought to start from here, but if you're

   Mallen, It sounds like you might have some

 managerial-type
   arrows for your quiver:
  
   1.) MySQL was one of the top 2 databases in a
 Ziff-Davis major vendor
   shootout recently, ranking alongside Oracle 9i.
  See
  
   http://www.mysql.com/news/index.html 
  
   under the heading MySQL a winner in server
 database clash.  They
   like products more if they're mentioned in the
 same sentence as
   Oracle.  Oracle was on the SuperBowl, you know.
 :^)
  
   2.) Actually, PHP doesn't officially say that CGI
 is the recommended
   install for IIS.  They simply issue a few caveats
 regarding SAPI.
   Check it out at:
  
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php 
 
 Officially perhaps but I think the overwhelming
 consensus has been
 that ISAPI under Windows just didn't work.  It
 *does* work now, as
 long as you don't use any third party DLLs (like
 MySQL, GD, etc) 
 rendering it pretty useless.
 
 Sorry, it's just anecdotal evidence, but you'll
 notice that no one in 
 the PHP camp will unequivocally say that PHP under
 ISAPI is solid.  The 
 silence on ISAPI speaks volumes right now.
 
 
 
 
   3.) I have nothing to offer on the search engine
 issue.
  
   Now, I know that some of what I just said will
 incense some folks,
   because yes, ideally this poor fellow would be
 able to use *nix with
   Apache, MySQL, and PHP.  But, since he may not
 have that luxury,
   these items might put enough spin on things for
 him to get the Open
   Source items in the door.  Once that initial
 yes has been given,
   the subsequent steps might come more easily.
 
 If the only way to get open source products in the
 door is
 to have them running half-crippled (running on OSes
 they weren't
 designed for) you're giving open source products a
 bad image.  No one 
 expects ASP to run on anything but IIS (chilisoft
 notwithstanding).  If 
 the server HAS to be Windows, use ActiveState's Perl
 or something else 
 with a company behind it and just go down that road.
 
 Having PHP run poorly under Windows will just make
 PHP look bad, even if 
 it's Windows' fault.

Re: [PHP-DB] How to avoid: Warning: Page has Expired

2002-04-09 Thread olinux

Using the GET method is a great solution, but
sometimes you just gotta POST! I have found the best
solution to be using a separate file to do the
processing.

For example login.php submits 'user' and 'password' to
auth.php. auth.php queries the db for 'user' and
'password' and redirects [via header()] to
whatever.php or back to login.php if login was
unsuccessful.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Database search question

2002-04-02 Thread olinux

I have a similar search. My table setup looks like
this 

TABLE vendors:
[ id | category_id | bla | bla | city | state | zip ]

TABLE key_list:
[ id | category_id | word ]

sample data in key_list (category #1 - auto repair)
[ 1 | 1 | automobile ]
[ 2 | 1 | car ]
[ 3 | 1 | repair ]
[ 3 | 4 | automobile ]

You must enter each keyword into the keylist table but
this makes the search quite fast when 'word' is
indexed (it may also contain phrases ie. 'new york')

For multiple words I build an array of matching
categories $matches_array['word'][] = $cat_id 
then use array_intersect() to get the matches for
multi words

In the example a search for auto repair or car
repair both return category_id | 1 which is 'auto
repair'
keywords can point to more than one category and many
key words can point to a single category.
as in the example auto points to cat_id's 1 and 4.

I have separate input boxes for city/state [if city is
numeric then search is zip code] So query is something
like this (if all fields contain data)

SELECT $fields FROM $table WHERE city LIKE '$city%'
AND state ='$state' AND category_id IN
($category_matches);

category_id could be anything really - maybe hotel_id
would work for you

criticisms and suggestions appreciated :)

  How can I accomplish the following?
 
  I have a table called search,
 
  I have 3 fields, city, country, type
 
  I also have an imput box where you can type in
  a search word.  What I need is, say you type in
  hotels germany, I need the search to break up
  the sentence and then search each 3 fields in the
  DB looking for a match.
 
  So, for example: it would find hotels in type and
  germany in country, see that they belong together
  and then display those results - how can I do
 this?
 
  I know I need to splitup my search phrase into
  individual words to search, but i'm stuck.
 
 
 Two possible approaches spring to mind:
 
 1.  Search all three categories for each keyword,
 ie 'hotel germany' would turn into
 
 SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE
 (country='hotel' OR type='hotel' OR
 city='hotel')
 AND (country='germany' OR type='germany' OR
 city='germany')
 
 2.  A translator table: two text fields, 'phrase'
 and
 'search', filled with something like:
 phrase | search
 
 'germany' | 'country=\'de\''
 'states' | 'country=\'us\''
 'brazil' | 'country=\'br\''
 'hotel' | 'type=2'
 'bed' | 'type=1'
 'b\b' | 'type=3'
 'london' | 'city=31854'
 'paris' | 'city=22059'
 
 ... you can then use a search through the
 translator
 table to build the select statement that
 actually does
 the query.
 
 
 Both of these have drawbacks, mainly that the tables
 they nominally reference are severely
 non-normalized;
 I suspect the proper approach should be a series of
 queries for each term among a set of normalized
 tables,
 followed by a final constructed query... but you get
 the idea.
 
 Another point: single-word searches could be a
 problem,
 stumbling over 'New York' or 'bed  breakfast'; it
 might
 be worth amending the search to also try
 consecutive-word
 pairs.

Re: [PHP-DB] Creating a good search engine

2002-03-22 Thread olinux

I would recommend going with a table of keywords like
you said, you may want ot structure like this:

[ words_id | article_id | word ]

You can tie the article id to the other tables
getting an efficient multiple word search working is a
bit of a task. 

This is very helpful:

 Hi Guys,

 This is what I think I should do so far tell me if
 I'm right or at least going in the right direction.
   
 1) Scan the each table and put them in one huge
 database filtering out noise words
 (I was thinking attaching a word id to the
 word so there would be no repeating words??)
 2) Attach the wordID to the corresponding
 article or blurb. 
 3) Use the search function to search that table.
 
   Now hopefully that sounds about right I just
 have one other problem.  I can't really envision the
 code to do the sorting of the words etc.  Any useful
 pointers would be helpful not looking for a total
 solution rather a hint to get me started in the
 right direction.  Hope you guys can help.

Re: [PHP-DB] Searching results of results

2002-03-19 Thread olinux

You could select these results into a temporary table
and then query that table. Look at the mysql.com docs
and check out the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. You can
select data right into the table and the table is
erased when the connection closes. 

But first it looks like cleaning up your query would
probably be the best way to get what you want.

try something like

$query = SELECT * FROM search WHERE ;

if ($description) {
   $query .= description LIKE '$description%' AND ;
}
if ($state) {
   $query .= state = '$state' AND ; }
if ($city) {
   $query .= city = '$city' AND ; }
if ($fname) {
   $query .= fname = '$fname' AND ; }

$query .= (category = '$category' AND country =
'$country' AND type = '$type') ORDER BY city ASC LIMIT
$offset, $item_perpage;

have fun,

 That is, it only searches the results it currently

Re: [PHP-DB] Soft-Linking and includes

You must use absolute paths in includes. essentially

Re: [PHP-DB] Flipping through database records

2002-02-12 Thread olinux

Interesting Jason, just to make sure I'm clear:

basically, you would query the table and 
while loop through the query result and create an
array and then store that in a session?

olinux


--- Jason Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Dan,
 
 Here's an idea for you:
 
 Rather than try to pass the uid through the pages,
 pass a counter that will
 act as an index to your result array.  For example,
 let's say you have a
 query like: select * from myTable order by someCol; 
 The order by will help
 give some sort of uniformity to the list on each
 page.  Each time you access
 the page, you would run this query and stuff
 everything into an array.  The
 index would be passed in and indicate which record
 in the array to display.
 You would know whether to display the 'prev' and
 'next' labels by comparing
 the index to the size of the array.
 
 If your table is large than you can optimize your
 query so you're not
 returning all the rows everytime.  If the index was
 $idx then you could do
 something like: select * from myTable order by
 someCol limit $idx;  So if
 you had a hundred records and your index was 10 then
 you would only get the
 first 10 records.  Since we're including the order
 by clause, the 10 should
 pretty much stay the same if the table doesn't
 change very often.  With this
 technique you would need to do a count() to find out
 the maximum number rows
 in the table.  Since a count() is faster than a
 query returning many rows,
 the combination of these two statements would be a
 bit faster than running
 the original query on a large table.  But then
 again, on a large table I
 doubt someone would want to browse each row.  That's
 kinda like looking for
 a good book by browsing the card catalog at the
 library... :)
 
 Hope that helps,
 Jason Cox

[PHP-DB] Creating Directory Search Engine

2002-02-07 Thread olinux

Hi All,

I am trying to build a search engine for a directory.
So far I have setup a table of keywords [ id |
category_id | keyword ] with a single keyword and the
category that it refers to. Then I have a table of
categories [ cat_id | parent_id | cat_name ] and a
table of vendors linked to the corresponding
category_id. Basically the trouble arises when
searching for multiple keywords because there is only
one word in each record. I am trying to do this in a
single query, but it seems that there must be a better
way. 

For example 

TABLE keywords [ id | category_id | keyword ]
ex. records
1 | 10 | auto
2 | 10 | car
3 | 10 | repair
4 | 20 | auto
5 | 20 | car
6 | 20 | new
7 | 20 | sales

These keywords refer to the categories 'auto repair'
(cat_id = 10) and 'new auto sales' (cat_id = 20)

So a search for 'auto' should return vendors in both
categories while a search for 'auto repair' should
return just category 10

Make sense? Please let me know of a good strategy for
this - I imagine that it is quite common.

Thanks much,
olinux

RE: [PHP-DB] arrays and email

2002-01-29 Thread olinux

The other thing you could do is populate a string of
emails and add the BCC header to your mail() function.
This way everyone's email will not be seen by all
other recipients. 
Check out the docs at www.php.net for this one

a better way to build the string would probably be:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
  $real_name = $row[1];
  $email_list .= $row[12];
}

Then just pass $email_list in the BCC - be careful as
some ISP's do not allow mass mailings to be sent in
BCC. [i.e. mine is limited to 99 emails and then it
gets spam blocked so i must send through the mailing
list feature]

 Hi folks, I've got a question hopefully someone can

 I'm building an online store for a client, and one
 of the things he wants is
 to organize his products into categories and
 subcategories.. not so unusual,
 but the kicker is he wants to be able to associate a
 subcategory with more
 than one category.
 
 I was thinking that I should be able to easily
 serialize an array of cat_IDs
 and store it, but my concern is that this will
 sacrifice a great deal of
 flexibility when retrieving the data. For instance
 when I want to get the
 subcategories in a single category, I would pretty
 much have to select ALL
 the rows in the subcategory table, unserialize the
 category array for each
 row, and then check each to see if the cat_ID is in
 the array..?
 
 That just feels inefficient to me, and I'm almost
 certain I must be
 overlooking something simpler..
 
 Also, I don't think I can use a SET data type
 because I want to be able to
 add values to the set (categories) dynamically in
 the future. But maybe I'm
 wrong and there is a way to do that...?
 
 Anyway I thought I'd throw it to those more
 experienced than me before I
 started coding. Anyone have any ideas?

TABLE 2
url_id | url | url_title

TABLE 3 
id | keyword_id | url_id

this would be your basic search engine - for example
you could look up a keyword in table 1 using that
keyword_id get the url_id's that correspond and then
get the url's and titles for display.

I guess that the similar srticles feature would work
the same way by taking the current url_id lookup the
corresponding keyword_id's use those to query for
url_id's that match those keywords and then grab the
url and title for display.

Confused? I am :)

This seems like it would work, but seems too
intensive... Maybe a different table structure which
contains url_id | similar_url would be better?
then you could look up the current url_id for url_id's
of similar articles?

Thanks for your help.

[PHP-DB] Storing Credit Card info

2002-01-17 Thread olinux

I have a client that would like to store credit card
information online. I have worked with shopping cart
type systems in the past, but never stored CC info.

What is the best way to do this? I was thinking that I
can write and read using include() to a directory that
is not available to the web. Then just display these
on SSL so that the client can retrieve the numbers.
Any ideas?

Thanks much,
olinux

Re: [PHP-DB] category structure

2001-10-29 Thread olinux

Yes, I know what a tree data structure is - how to
walk the tree I'm not sure what you mean. But I've
come up with something quite cool. but still not
working.

I select all the data from the catagories table [id |
pid | category] and drop it into the array

= 
$menu = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['cat_id'];
$category = $row['category'];
$pid = $row['pid'];

$menu[$pid][$id] = $category;
}


foreach($menu as $key1 = $value1) {
echo Key: $key1; Value: $value1br\n;
   foreach ($value1 as $key2 = $value2) {
  echo Key: $key2; Value: $value2br\n;
// delete array that has been printed
unset($menu[$key1][$key2]);
} 
}
= 

and out comes:
Key: 0; Value: Array
Key: 1; Value: Automotive
Key: 4; Value: Technology
Key: 1; Value: Array
Key: 2; Value: Repair Shops
Key: 3; Value: Glass Replacement
etc..

So now what i need is the ability to go thru all of
the menu array with index of $menu[0][*] one at a time
and then print out all $menu indicies where [*]
matches $menu[THIS][]
the unset removes a category once it's been printed

Any ideas?
I don't want to recursively hit the database a bunch
of times.

basically it says to put in the 10-digit nextel number
@messaging.nextel.com and you can send it with SMTP.  I dunno if this is
what you need but hope it helps..

Eric O'Connell

 I am in the progress of setting up a script where a user can 
 goto a certain website, supply info like a message and their 
 name and instantly page someone on their cell phone by using 
 the PHP based web form. The text would then be sent to the 
 cell phone reciepents screen as it was typed on the web form.
 
 My problem is this.. I got a script at 
 http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/9816.html called 
 PHPmyPagers that supports SMS and ICQ messaging, which of 
 course I would use as SMS for what I was working with. Inside 
 the options.inc.php script, it asks for a $pagerservice 
 command which they document as the syntax of the paging 
 service of your service provider is inside the script comments.
 
 So here is my final question.. I have a Nextel cell phone 
 that supports text messaging and all that jazz. Does that 
 support SMS? And if It does, what is the server or IP address 
 I can use to send messages thru their network. If it doesn't 
 require their servers and I can use a current mailserver 
 domain, that would be cool.
 
 If any of you have any suggestions, let me know. It would be 
 great help to me and others who have always wondered how to 
 do this sort of thing :)

Re: [PHP-DB] Searching/keywords

you could probably use a str_replace() www.php.net
$description1 = Episode 1 - Joey eats all of the food
in the house;

Suppose the search term is food - just go thru and
replace food with bfood/b or whatever tags you
want to use.

Subject: [PHP-DB] checking for results return from mysql


i suppose this much have a simple solution i am missing.  but here is the
situation.

i want to checkand see if my query returned any results.   problem is if i
check liek this -
if($results = mysql_fetch_array($result))

it appears that a resource is returned regardless.  so this is always true.

the real problem is that i need to find out if something is returned without
actually accessing the data.  because this if statement appears to be
calling the first row of result data so later when i use a while loop to go
through the data i am missing the first result returned.

i have tried putting a few other mysql function in the conditional.  maybe i
am on the wrong path  . . would one of the cariable functions like isset()
or soemthing check this?

[PHP-DB] Checking radio buttons for multiple records/Updating multiple records...

2001-07-28 Thread olinux

Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I know that it is very common.

Simplified: I have a tabble of users with an AUTHORIZE field [type ENUM -
Yes or No]. They sign up and once I authorize them. I pull up all of the
records and display them something like this:

User Name -  Authorize: [] Yes [] No

So i run my select thru a while loop and end up with

User Name -  Authorize: [] Yes [] No
User2 Name -  Authorize: [] Yes [] No
User3 Name -  Authorize: [] Yes [] No
User4 Name -  Authorize: [] Yes [] No

The settings already in the database should show. So that either Yes or No
is checked for each user.

so here is the code I use:

if ($authorize == Y) { $chk_authorize = Authorized: input type=\radio\
name=\authorize\ value=\Y\ checkedYes input type=\radio\
name=\authorize\ value=\N\No; } else { $chk_authorize = Authorized:
input type=\radio\ name=\authorize\ value=\Y\Yes input
type=\radio\ name=\authorize\ value=\N\ checkedNo; }

This works EXCEPT only the last field displays a checked radio button
[because the names are all the same.

How can do this so that each record displays current authorization setting?

After this I need to be able to SUBMIT the info to UPDATE the table.

I understand that I will have to execute a number of update statements ...
But how can I create these statements that tie the correct username and
AUTHORIZE value together?

thanks much,
olinux

[PHP-DB] parsing checkbox array without [] and selecting all boxes

2001-07-09 Thread olinux

Hey all,

The end result of all of this should be similar to an online email client
like hotmal, or yahoo where  you can select a number of messages to be
deleted.

I have a form that when generated, the html looks similar to this:

===

input type=checkbox name=broker value=1
input type=checkbox name=broker value=2
input type=checkbox name=broker value=3
input type=checkbox name=broker value=4
input type=checkbox name=broker value=5

input type=button value=Check All
onClick=this.value=check(this.form.broker)

===

I am trying to create a script that will delete each checked box. I can get
this script to work by adding '[]' to 'broker'  The reason for each name
being the same and not using the '[]' is because I want to be able to use a
javascript that selects all boxes. Is there a way to do this. Or better yet,
does anyone have a jscript that will work with the [] characters?

Thanks

[PHP-DB] ereg_replace

2001-06-30 Thread olinux o

I have a large string and want to replace some
substrings in it.
This substrings are delimited by a pair of tags (all
substrings), say: tag and /tag. i.e. There is the
tag tag at the beginning of the substring I want to
replace and a /tag tag at the end. There are several
of this substrings along my large string.
What I'm doing is using ereg_replace in this form:
$LargeString = ereg_replace(tag.*/tag,
replacement, $LargeString);
but what I get is the string with the replacement in a
way I don't actually want. It replaces the part of the
string that begins with THE FIRST TAG tag and that
ends with THE LAST TAG /tag. 
How do I get the desired result??

Another way that would work for me is if i can return
an array of all of the matches 
preg_match looks like it will do this [and then
matches can be referenced by using array[1], array[2]
etc. and array[0] holds ALL of the matches] however it
does not seem to be working...

TIA

 1. pass the XML filename (or URL) to the script via
 GET or POST
 2. pass the XML source to the script via POST
 3. upload the file via POST and call the script
 
 More details on what you're trying to accomplish
 would help.

[PHP-DB] ereg and first occurence

2001-06-29 Thread olinux o

Hi all,

I would like to extract a piece from an html file. But
when I try the ereg function like this it ends up
pulling EVERYTHING from the first occurence of FONT
face=Verdana all the way to the end of the file.

eregi(FONT face=Verdana(.*)/FONT, $string,
$output);

for example: any thoughts on how I could extract
'NAME' from the following and not CITY?

FONT face=VerdanaNAME/FONT
FONT face=ArialCITY/FONT

TIA

[PHP-DB] Using regexps to clean up html files

2001-06-28 Thread olinux o

hi all,

I have a very large project where I have to insert
information from a large number of HTML files. They
are pulled from a public web database so they are
somewhat consistent in format. However not all fields
are present in each. So what I have decided to do is.

Write a script that parses the files of extraneous
spaces etc. and inserts into a CSV file to be imported
into the DB structure.

I figure that I can do something like Grab
information following 'FIELD NAME:' until ' ' (blank
space).

However, Some fields may contain two or more words.
Such as, PROPERTY TYPE: Retail or PROPERTY TYPE:
Industrial Facility

So how do I account for this. I have thought that I
may try to Grab everything BETWEEN two field names
[only this becomes a problem if a field is not
present].

Can anyone give me some tips on writing this script. I
have done very little work with string manipulation.
If you would like some sample files, please contact me
off list. 

Thank you so much.

RE: [PHP-DB] static or dynamic printer-friendly webpages?

hmmm, let me think about this.

unless you are crazy you will choose your to stay dynamic. Can you imagine
keeping track of new records... let's click the PF version so I can print
this... What the hell! Shawna I can't print this damn thing. This link
doesn't work. blah blah... It only gets worse I'm sure. I would try doing
something with CSS... then you may even decide to change the other template.

Subject: [PHP-DB] static or dynamic printer-friendly webpages?


Question for all you php experts out there:

My organization's website is based on mysql/php backend - 95% of the
webpages are generated dynamically using templates and database records.

We have been asked to create printer-friendly versions of these pages.

Now for your opinion/advice: should we (1)create another template called
print.php for example and generate there print friendly pages dynamically
or should we (2)create static html copies of each database record so that
they are print friendly?

By print friendly I mean I want a page that doesn't have the text cut off
the right hand side of the page (nevermind, for now, that the original page
shouldn't do this
in the first place :) )

Thank you so much for your help!

[PHP-DB] Extracting data from html files into csv

2001-06-26 Thread olinux

hi all,

I have a huge project coming up today where I need to extract a large number
of entries from a directory. What I would like to do is use a site ripper
[to download each properties HTML file to a local directory on my pc] and
then run some sort of extraction on the file to create an excel, or
delimited file.

1. All entries have the same basic format
2. Not all fields are present for each

Does anyone know of a program to strip this type of data into a xls or cvs
file?


thanks much,

dear list

I have attempted to use session end to no avail.  I have a
self-referencing form with a button, that when checked and sent, calls
session_end().  I get a  call to undefined function error.
Does there need to be something compiled into the php module?  Everything
else seems to work with sessions, so I don't know why session_end()
wouldn't work.
its PHP Version 4.0.3pl1 on a cobalt raq4 server.

[PHP-DB] dynamic input tyep text updates

2001-05-07 Thread olinux

hey all, I am trying to create a form that does the following: [ i have most of it 
done]

1. queries the db and gets the values of the ID, TITLE, and FILENAME columns in a table
2. creates a form with the TITLE INPUT type=text with the filename echoed if it 
exists
3. on submission the form update the FILENAME field.

I have completed up to step 2. I am not sure how i should name the fields to make this 
easiest. The purpose of the form is so i can insert a value for a picture that 
corresponds to each TITLE. here's some of my my code.

this builds the form input fields.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $id = $row['id'];
  $title = $row['title'];
  $filename = $row['filename'];

$form .= $title input type=\text\ name=\$id\ size=15 maxlength=20;

if ($filename) {
   $form .=  VALUE=\$filename\;
   }

$form .= br;
// end while
}

this is the INSERT that does not work yet






[PHP-DB] dynamic form inputs and updating

2001-05-07 Thread olinux

hey all,
I would like to create a form that does the following: [I have up to step 3 completed.]

1. queries a db and gets the values of ID, TITLE, and FILENAME
2. generates a form that with a text input area for each TITLE where i can enter the 
filename of the picture that corresponds to the TITLE
3. echo's the current value in the input box if a value is present
4. UPDATES the FILENAME column

I am trying to insert the filename of the pictures that correspond to each TITLE.  I 
think that i need to use some sort of loop and also somehow tie the ID to each input 
so that the UPDATE executes correctly.

thanks much, 
olinux 

Here's some of my code. 

This generates the form inputs

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $id = $row['id'];
  $title = $row['title'];
  $filename = $row['filename'];

$form .= $title input type=\text\ name=\$id\ size=15 maxlength=20;

if ($filename) {
   $form .=  VALUE=\$filename\;
   }

$form .= br;
// end while
}

Here is my insert that is not yet working.

$sql .= UPDATE $table_name SET filename=\$id\;

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ('Could not insert filenames');




Re: [PHP-DB] linking images

2001-04-30 Thread olinux o

Best way to do it is to store the filename in the db,
faster and really simple.

What I have done at my site is write a script that
uploads the file. Uploading generates something like
three variables [filesize, filetype, and filename] the
only one I am concerned with is filename. The
variables are named the same as the file upload
fieldname plus an extension like this:

say my upload field is NAME=upload_image when i
upload the filename can be referenced by
upload_image_name - size by upload_image_size at least
from what i can remember quickly.

so i insert this filename [upload_image_name] into a
table that references the associated ID. something
like this:

IMG_TABLE

apartment_id   filename


k, so this will store the filename, now you just need
to grab the filename from this table and echo the
filename into the IMG SRC= or A HREF  = like
this: A HREF=image_folder/? echo $filename ?

HTH,
probably a bit confusing, lemme know if you would like
my script.
