[PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

2002-07-30 Thread Paul Worthington

I'm running MySQL 3.23.47 and PHP 4.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.1.5.

In my table, I've got two fields: Name VARCHAR(35) and txtSWDesc1 TEXT.
According to the manual, TEXT will give me a maximum space of 65,536
bytes per field. I've entered text in this field in the amount of
approximately
500 characters.

I'm using this PHP code, very simple and straightforward, to select two
columns into an array and then display the results in an HTML table:

..
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, user1);
mysql_select_db(testdb,$db);
$sql = SELECT * FROM tmp ORDER BY Name;
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);

echo TABLE\n;
echo TR\nTHPlace Name/TH\nTHDescription/TH\n/TR\n;
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  printf(TRTD%s/TDTD%s/TD/TR\n, $myrow[Name],
$myrow[txtSWDesc1]);
}
echo /TABLE\n;

...
What happens is I'm only getting the first 256 characters of txtSWDesc1
displayed in my table. I am assuming the problem is in
mysql_fetch_array(), that it must have some size limitation that
truncates whatever data it has read to exactly 256 chars. Another
possibility is that the mysql_query() could be truncing the result. I've
checked my data directly in MySQL, and all the characters are there in
direct SELECTs.

Can someone please help? I've checked all manuals and FAQs I can, but I
can't figure out why I'm having this problem. It should not be happening
at all. Is there some size limitation to the array created via
mysql_fetch_array()? Is there some other function that will accomodate
my data? Is there any custom code to handle my data correctly?

Thanks,
Paul Worthington

Maybe it will help you but I've read that when using persistent connections
PHP uses 2 on every request.
So if in one moment you have 10 scripts,that use persistent connections,
running you will have 20 connections used to the mysql.

Thank you for that idea. I don't think that's it, though, because this
script is the only one I'm ever running on this site. The problem is
perfectly consistent and repeatable, which leads me to believe it's
something in the way the array is being built.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

2002-07-30 Thread Paul Worthington

No I don't have PhpMyAdmin installed. I work directly in MySQL via a
terminal, so all my checking is with native calls anyway. Working natively
in MySQL, all my data is there and everything works the way I expect it to.
Using mysql_fetch_array() in PHP results in a truncated result set. And I am
trying to figure out why, and how I can work around this problem.
Thanks again,

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

2002-07-30 Thread Andrey Hristov

  Hello,
last week I read this article :
http://phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php
It is long one. Extract from it (look where is it and read around it):
[snip]
Overload on 40 connections

When we pushed the benchmark to use 40 connections, the server overloaded
with 35% failed requests. On further investigation, it was because the MySQL
server persistent connects were failing because of Too Many Connections.

The benchmark also demonstrates the lingering behavior of Apache child
processes. Each PHP script uses 2 persistent connections, so at 40
connections, we should only be using at most 80 persistent connections, well
below the default MySQL max_connections of 100. However Apache idle child
processes are not assigned immediately to new requests due to latencies,
keep-alives and other technical reasons; these lingering child processes
held the remaining 20+ persistent connections that were the straws that
broke the Camel's back.

The Fix

By switching to non-persistent database connections, we were able to fix
this problem and obtained a result of 5.340 seconds. An alternative solution
would have been to increase the MySQL max_connections parameter from the
default of 100.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

2002-07-30 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf

The only reason it uses two is if the code using persistent connections
connects with different credentials.  ie. you have 2 different apps on the
same server that connects as 2 different user ids and they are both using
persistent connections.  Eventually every httpd will have 2 connections.

   Subject: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details
  
  
I'm running MySQL 3.23.47 and PHP 4.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.1.5.
   
In my table, I've got two fields: Name VARCHAR(35) and txtSWDesc1
 TEXT.
According to the manual, TEXT will give me a maximum space of 65,536
bytes per field. I've entered text in this field in the amount of
approximately
500 characters.
   
I'm using this PHP code, very simple and straightforward, to select
 two
columns into an array and then display the results in an HTML table:
   
  
 
..
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, user1);
mysql_select_db(testdb,$db);
$sql = SELECT * FROM tmp ORDER BY Name;
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);
   
echo TABLE\n;
echo TR\nTHPlace Name/TH\nTHDescription/TH\n/TR\n;
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  printf(TRTD%s/TDTD%s/TD/TR\n, $myrow[Name],
$myrow[txtSWDesc1]);
}
echo /TABLE\n;
   
  
 
...
What happens is I'm only getting the first 256 characters of
 txtSWDesc1
displayed in my table. I am assuming the problem is in
mysql_fetch_array(), that it must have some size limitation that
truncates whatever data it has read to exactly 256 chars. Another
possibility is that the mysql_query() could be truncing the result.
 I've
checked my data directly in MySQL, and all the characters are there in
direct SELECTs.
   
Can someone please help? I've checked all manuals and FAQs I can, but
 I
can't figure out why I'm having this problem. It should not be
 happening
at all. Is there some size limitation to the array created via
mysql_fetch_array()? Is there some other function that will accomodate
my data? Is there any custom code to handle my data correctly?

 The only reason it uses two is if the code using persistent connections
 connects with different credentials.  ie. you have 2 different apps on the
 same server that connects as 2 different user ids and they are both using
 persistent connections.  Eventually every httpd will have 2 connections.

Hello,
  last week I read this article :
  http://phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php
  It is long one. Extract from it (look where is it and read around it):
  [snip]
  Overload on 40 connections
 
  When we pushed the benchmark to use 40 connections, the server
overloaded
  with 35% failed requests. On further investigation, it was because the
MySQL
  server persistent connects were failing because of Too Many
Connections.
 
  The benchmark also demonstrates the lingering behavior of Apache child
  processes. Each PHP script uses 2 persistent connections, so at 40
  connections, we should only be using at most 80 persistent connections,
well
  below the default MySQL max_connections of 100. However Apache idle
child
  processes are not assigned immediately to new requests due to latencies,
  keep-alives and other technical reasons; these lingering child processes
  held the remaining 20+ persistent connections that were the straws that
  broke the Camel's back.
 
  The Fix
 
  By switching to non-persistent database connections, we were able to fix
  this problem and obtained a result of 5.340 seconds. An alternative
solution
  would have been to increase the MySQL max_connections parameter from the
  default of 100.

Does

I use mysql_fetch array to retrieve large text data many many times

Are you sure that the printf() function can take more than 256 characters of
input?  Since you are only outputting strings, printf isn't really necessary
so you can use the echo command instead.

Also, though this probably isn't the reason, you should quote your key
names.

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo 'trtd',$myrow['Name'],'/td';
echo 'td',$myrow['txtSWDesc1'],'/td/tr';
}

HTH.

 I'm using this PHP code, very simple and straightforward, to select two
 columns into an array and then display the results in an HTML table:


 ..
 $db = mysql_connect(localhost, user1);
 mysql_select_db(testdb,$db);
 $sql = SELECT * FROM tmp ORDER BY Name;
 $result = mysql_query($sql,$db);

 echo TABLE\n;
 echo TR\nTHPlace Name/TH\nTHDescription/TH\n/TR\n;
 while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   printf(TRTD%s/TDTD%s/TD/TR\n, $myrow[Name],
 $myrow[txtSWDesc1]);
 }
 echo /TABLE\n;


 ...
 What happens is I'm only getting the first 256 characters of txtSWDesc1
 displayed in my table. I am assuming the problem is in
 mysql_fetch_array(), that it must have some size limitation that
 truncates whatever data it has read to exactly 256 chars. Another
 possibility is that the mysql_query() could be truncing the result. I've
 checked my data directly in MySQL, and all the characters are there in
 direct SELECTs.

 Can someone please help? I've checked all manuals and FAQs I can, but I
 can't figure out why I'm having this problem. It should not be happening
 at all. Is there some size limitation to the array created via
 mysql_fetch_array()? Is there some other function that will accomodate
 my data? Is there any custom code to handle my data correctly?

 Thanks,
 Paul Worthington

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

2002-07-30 Thread Paul Worthington

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. It turns out I was limiting the
array myself by setting a temporary table column definition to varchar(255).
I have been overlooking it all this time. I feel so stupid. Thanks again for
trying to help me.

 Are you sure that the printf() function can take more than 256 characters
of
 input?  Since you are only outputting strings, printf isn't really
necessary
 so you can use the echo command instead.

 Also, though this probably isn't the reason, you should quote your key
 names.

 while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
 echo 'trtd',$myrow['Name'],'/td';
 echo 'td',$myrow['txtSWDesc1'],'/td/tr';
 }

 HTH.
