hi ,

i want to export data in mysql to excel .. but problem is mysql runs in the
linux machine ,
How can i get that data from mysql-Linux machine  to windows-Excel machine ,
plz help asap

thanx in advance
curlys


Usually it's just selecting all records and writing them in a plain text
file spererating the values with commas (Comma Seperated Values), each
record in a seperate line. The file extension should be .csv. Then Excel
will open it as a spreadsheet.

But I think it's worth a try to follow the advice of Marek to try out an
existing class for this task.

Take a look here:

 Hi all,

 I am currently running a web application which has an increasing number of
 users. The application uses PHP sessions. As administrator, I would like
to
 know which users are currently logged in. Any brief suggestion or link to
 some good tutorial/paper would be very much appreciated.

 A.


If your session container is a database (instead of the standard using local
files) you can easily do a SELECT count(*) to get the number of running
sessions. Otherwise it's a bit more complicated, I guess.

This topic was discussed some days ago on the list. Please search the list

[PHP] Not sure

2004-05-14 Thread Brent Clark

Hi all

I have the following php code:

echotdnbsp;/tdtdinput type=\checkbox\ name=\frow\
value=\$var\/td\n;

I now have the following javascript code:
!-- From webmin--

a href='' onClick='document.frm.frow.checked = true; for(i=0;
idocument.frm.frow.length; i++) { document.frm.frow[i].checked = true; }
return false'Select all/anbsp;
a href='' onClick='document.frm.frow.checked = !document.frm.frow.checked;
for(i=0; idocument.frm.frow.length; i++) { document.frm.frow[i].checked =
!document.frm.frow[i].checked; } return false'Invert selection/abr

the problem I have is that if I change the

echotdnbsp;/tdtdinput type=\checkbox\ name=\frow\
value=\$var\/td\n;
to
echotdnbsp;/tdtdinput type=\checkbox\ name=\frow[]\
value=\$var\/td\n;

Then my php task is fine, but if I make it a normal variable, like
name=frow

But then my PHP does not work, and the Javascript does work (Selects all the
checkboxes with a tick)

I can determine if this is a javascript fault or a php fault.

Im stumped


If know of a solution, it would be most appreciated

Kind Regards

 I need a script for reversing a string (hello world becomes dlrow

 With, obviously, no success. Is this the way or could array_reverse()

use input type=checkbox name=frow[] ... and 
document.frm.elements['frow[]'][i].checked. And you will get javascript 
error if you refer to document.frm.frow as both array and object, use

[PHP] PHP Sockets

2004-05-14 Thread Tom Chubb

This may sound a bit cheeky, but I've spent most of today looking for some
examples of sockets.
I've managed to create a socket and it's connecting ok, but next I need to
find a way of sending an ASCII string to the remote computer and echo-ing
the results back to my screen.
(Using a text box to submit the ascii string)
This is for simulating comms between a UNIX server and a piece of electrical
equipment (for which I'm using my laptop).
Does anyone know of similar examples.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [PHP] md5() with rand() || Strange results, need help....

It doesn't appear to be cookie settings either, nor auto-fill in.

I do not have auto-complete running; when I log in under an affected users

Could it be perhaps that md5() works differently with integers vs. a text

[PHP] dynamically building insert/update forms from db

2004-05-14 Thread Edward Peloke

I was up late last night creating insert and update forms for tables in my
db and knew there had to be a better way.  I do have a class that will
generate forms but I still have to create each input..i.e
$forms-inputBox(), etc.  I want to be able to pass in a table name and have
a form returned to me.  How do other's handle this?  My first thought is to
have an xml file that maps the database columns to form elements such as
text, radio, etc then when the class is called, it searches the xml file for
the passed in name and builds the appropriate form.  Is this the best way?

 But in all honesty the following is superior:

When you do a describe (desc tablename) it returns the type and length of
the field in the database as part of the result set. You can parse that out
and determine what kind of an input field to generate.

No, it doesn't fail the first time. It runs through the loop several 
times, and fails ONLY once it timesout (because the server is sending 
no more data). Then, the next time it loops, it fails again.

That said, I am going to shortly repost the program flow (in simplified 
form), so you guys can see the issue. (Someone kindly pointed out that 
as this thread has grown, the original issue is no longer clear.)

Hi Warren,

There is only one process, and I'm sure I have only one IP address.
It's just one script that loops. At the top of the loop, it waits to
socket_read some data. If no data appears, I want it to timeout so that
it can send the server a ping (which I must do). THAT is where the
problem starts. If I don't bother making the socket_read timeout, the
loop works beautifully-it just waits and waits at socket_read, and then
when data appears, it does its thing, then goes back to the top of the
loop and waits again. It's when I set the timeout option, and then it
DOES actually time out (because there is no data for several seconds),
that it no longer is able to socket_read data from the connection.

There is no firewall-it's all running locally, on my iBook (with

really can't believe this little problem I'm encountering is because
of some bug in the Socket library. I mean, what I'm doing is so 
simple,
and I'm sure hundreds of other PHP programmers have done this before,

Enter loop
If data is received, handle it
If data is not received in several seconds, send server a ping

I just read something about sock warnings this morning.   It said
sometimes they drop off, and to ignore the warnings, but capture
the errors.
I get this output:

PHP Warning:  socket_read() unable to read from socket [35]:

 From this code:

do {
socket_set_block($socket);
socket_set_option($socket,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVTIMEO,$timeout);
while(($buf = socket_read($socket,128,PHP_BINARY_READ)) !==
false) {

And it's failing at while. Any ideas?

[PHP] Socket client can do one thing (loop), but not the other (loop, timeout, loop again)

Hello everyone,

I really appreciate the suggestions so far with my socket client 
problem. Somebody suggested I repost the issue with the program flow 
and code, to clarify the situation (a good idea). So here it is:

To sumarrize: My socket client runs fine when all it does is (1) wait 
for data from the server (2) respond to server message (3) then wait 
again (ad infinitum). E.g.,

---THIS WORKS--
Setup and open TCP socket
Send a Password_DS to the Server
Send a Resend_DS to the Server
Enter infinite loop:
Wait for messages from the Server
Upon receipt of a Send_DS from the Server
Respond with a Send_DS_Ack
Upon receipt  of a Ping_DS from the Server
Respond with a Ping_DS_Ack
Upon receipt  of a Status_DS from the Server
Respond with a Status_DS_Ack
---THIS WORKS--
Again, the client loops fine and works wellUNTIL I I try to add one 
feature: If the Server doesn't send a message for more than five 
seconds, the socket_read should send Ping_DS to the Server to see if 
it's still alive, and then, if it is, continue to the top of the loop 
and wait for another message from the Server.

---THIS DOESN'T WORK--
Setup and open TCP socket
Send a Password_DS to the Server
Send a Resend_DS to the Server
Enter infinite loop:
Wait for messages from the Server
Upon receipt of a Send_DS from the Server
Respond with a Send_DS_Ack
Upon receipt  of a Ping_DS from the Server
Respond with a Ping_DS_Ack
Upon receipt  of a Status_DS from the Server
Respond with a Status_DS_Ack
-   Periodically, send a Ping_DS to the Server
-   If the Ping_DS transmit fails
-   Clean-up and restart the socket connection
-   If a Ping_DS_Ack is not received from the Server
-   Clean-up and restart the socket connection
---THIS DOESN'T WORK--
---PROGRAM OUTPUT--
Socket created.
Socket connected to 192.168.0.13:9500.

Re: [PHP] dynamically building insert/update forms from db

2004-05-14 Thread Chris Boget

 generate forms but I still have to create each input..i.e
 $forms-inputBox(), etc.  I want to be able to pass in a table name and
have
 a form returned to me.  How do other's handle this?  My first thought is
to
 have an xml file that maps the database columns to form elements such as
 text, radio, etc then when the class is called, it searches the xml file
for
 the passed in name and builds the appropriate form.  Is this the best way?

I believe there is a PEAR library package that does this.  You might want to
do some research to see if it fits your needs.

no but i can give you a suggestion as to a method...

each time someone views an item do a first-in-last-out rotation of a
cookie.

in other words.. each time you come to a page do the following: (pseudo
code)

COOKIE['item3'] = COOKIE['item2'];
COOKIE['item2'] = COOKIE['item1'];
COOKIE['item1'] = $new_value;

then you go back and read the three items and you're done.

PEAR's DB_DataObject_FormBuilder will do this. You have to get DB and 
DB_DataObject set up, but it's not too hard to do. Mail me if you need

Yes, there is.  Check out PEAR::DB or PEAR::MDB which both have good 
classes for preparing INSERT and UPDATE statements, as well as for 
finding out information about what columns and datatypes a table has 
(which is what I think you are most interested in).  These are really 
easy-to-use classes, too.

Then, I would also suggest checking out the PEAR::HTML_QuickForm class, 
as it has functions you can use to generate HTML forms.

Greetings.  We have a need for our PHP scripts to run as the user and

for PHP scripts run under the apache php module (mod_php).

So my questions are:

(1) Can we use suexec to force PHP scripts (running under mod_php) to

Are there any special configuration tricks to make this happen?

(2) If we CAN'T use suexec with mod_php, I assume we can run PHP as CGI

[PHP] Template Engine

But since I am going to be distributing the app, I would like it as
portable and small/simple as possible. Those template systems are
overkill for what I need. Really it does not even have to be a Template
system, I would just like to here your thoughts on how you may have
accomplished separation of logic from output in a simple way.

If simple is what you want, then write your business logic into library
files that you can include at the top of your source page. Then use
functions which just output the content. As many will argue, PHP is a
template engine in its own right, and for your simple purposes then it
is probably perfect. Separation in this case just requires you keep your
business logic in include files either as simple functiosn or as classes
of related behaviour.

Rob.

Re: [PHP] Session variables not working

 I'm trying to set the following two vars on one page then read their

Where are $member_id and $password coming from?

 page2.php...
 
 ob_start();
 session_start();
   $member_id = $_SESSION['member_id'];
   $password $_SESSION['password'];
 ob_end_flush();

I think you want $password = $_SESSION['password'];

 But on page2.php the variables are null.  Can anyone help me out with 
 this. I must be doing something really obvious wrong.

Where are you outputting the variables to see what they are? You might
want to add a print_r($_SESSION) to see what is there. The ob_*
functions don't cause any output of variables, they only output what you
output within them (if that makes sense). For example:

ob_start();
  echo 'Hi';
ob_end_flush();

No, not normally. How are you getting from page 1 to page 2?

page1.php...

ob_start();
session_start();
  $_SESSION['member_id'] = $member_id;
  $_SESSION['password'] = $password;
ob_end_flush();
page2.php...

ob_start();
session_start();
  $member_id = $_SESSION['member_id'];
  $password $_SESSION['password'];
ob_end_flush();
What's with the output buffering functions? Are you sure $member_id and
$password have a value in the first script? I assume there is more 
code to
this, or no?

[PHP] GD createpng and getting different png formats

2004-05-14 Thread Sam Joseph

Hi all,

I've recently got the GD libraries set up and working with php and I 
have been resizing and reformating images to my hearts content.
One thing I notice however is that when I output png images they seem by 
default to come out in the larger size PNG32 format, as opposed to the 
lightweight PNG8 format that I would prefer.

I've checked the archives and googled and found no direct reference to 
this issue.

If anybody can tell me how to adjust the png output format php I'd be 
very grateful.  Although I have the feeling that this might well require 
hacking away at the gd source 

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Looking For Easy To Use Shopping Cart

2004-05-14 Thread Ryan Schefke

Can anyone recommend a good open source shopping cart solution? I built an

[PHP] Missing data types?

I need to pack() data in PHP according to a typedef'ed C format 
structure, but there seems to be two problems (as per the docs: 
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php).

First, in PHP there is no format option for long signed integers, 
big-endian byte order, just signed long (always 32 bit, machine byte 
order). Or am I missing something?

Secondand I guess this is not a problem with PHP per se, just a 
question of interpretationthe client specifications call for a certain 
10-digit string to be packed as char ( char[10] ). But char is just 
a single character right? Or do you think the docs essentially mean 
packing it as an alpha? (Whose length can be specified.)

$str = 1234567890;
$packed = pack(a10string,$str);

Well...

Do you mean that you've created a storefront already and need a cart, or 
do you need the whole thing? There really isn't any only cart software, 
they all include a storefront.

From what I've seen, Zen Cart is pretty well featured and is open 
source and free.

Re: [PHP] GD createpng and getting different png formats

2004-05-14 Thread Galen

IIRC, the goal of PNG is lossless output and it outputs that exactly 
with PHP. What you send is what you get out. When you're using GD, I 
suggest you make an 8 bit GD image resource, then make that into PNG. 
There are several functions dealing with converting bit depth and such, 
poke around the GD image reference section in the PHP manual.

Sorry if this is too vague, it's all off the top of my head but I think 
it will give you enough to go on.

There are several tutorials that are just the cart, probably some minimal
code typing and fixing for your needs.
MyMarket found on SourceForge is one.  There was one on Monkey Junkies.

FreeTrade is good.

There is no such thing as a problem, unless the servers are on fire.
Sometimes great opportunity comes brilliantly disguised as bad news.

Re: [PHP] GD createpng and getting different png formats

2004-05-14 Thread Sam Joseph

Hi Galen,

Many thanks for your reply. I tried to find things in the php manual
relating to bit depth, but I didn't find anything relevant:

http://www.google.co.jp/search?sourceid=navclienthl=jaie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8q=site:www%2Ephp%2Enet+bit+depth

I haven't read every single one of the image functions in detail, but I
did look through them all, and at the moment I can't see anything that
allows me to manipulate the bit depth. The closest thing I can see is
the imagecolorstotal function which returns the number of colors in the
specified image's palette.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but if anybody knows about a
specific function that does this I'd be very interested to hear about it.

Many thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP] Re: Looking For Easy To Use Shopping Cart

2004-05-14 Thread Ryan Schefke

I want my customer to be able to select a few options via radio buttons (12
months or 24 months - how many photos in their photo album, etc) that impact
the price.  Then, I want the customer to click a checkout link that takes
them directly to a form to input billing address and credit card
information.

Any recommendations/guidance?

I'm calling around and speaking to payment gateways and merchant account
providers but wanted to tap into the open source community to see what's out
there that can fit my needs.

I really don't think this is that complex of a task, or maybe it is?

Thanks,
Ryan
