[PHP] PostgreSQL and select nextval
Hi,
I'm getting an error message when i run the following SQL request :
$sql = INSERT INTO tmp_importedxls (rec_id, publisher) VALUES (SELECT
nextval('tmp_importedxls_rec_id_seq'),'$pb');
Error in SQL query: ERROR: syntax error at or near SELECT LINE 2: VALUES
(SELECT nextval('tmp_importedxls_rec_id_seq'),' ^
I have the feeling that we can not use the select nextval(...) SQL request
in an INSERT INTO one under PHP.
Is it true?
thanks

[PHP] What's is the needed configuration to enable SOAP?
Hello all, I have a little problem with Soap. I programmed a script which works well on all server except one. I had an 'HTTP Error : Couldn't open socket connection to server' Too bad for me it's the main one. I wonder if there is a configuration problem? I just saw that socket is disabled on the main server. Is soap extension needs to enable socket? Google and php documentation said nothing about that. Thanks in advance for your help.

[PHP] very strange behavior.... incomplete query performed
Hi,
I'm still working on importing CSV file content (20.000 records) to database
PostgreSQL.
when i run the query, once i stored into my table 5218 records, another
time 5231 another time 4713 and so on
every time the amount of records imported to DB is different.
Do you have any idea from where it could come ?
Here is my PHP code :
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ,)) !== FALSE)
{
$num = count($data);
if($row1)
{
$charsetIN ='windows-1250';
$charsetOUT = 'UTF-8';

$result = pg_query($dbconn,set search_path = sw_audit;);
echo result (set search_path) = .$result.br/br/;
$res=pg_query(SELECT nextval('tmp_importedxls_rec_id_seq') as
key);
$row=pg_fetch_array($res, 0);
$key=$row['key'];
$sql = INSERT INTO tmp_importedxls (rec_id, publisher, program,
version, path, licensing_file, date_audit, barcode, pcinfo_ident, area,
locality, users, personal_number)
VALUES ($key,

//echo SQL : .$sql.br/br/;
$result = pg_query($dbconn,$sql);
if (!$result)
{

}
else
{

It is left unchallenged on the page but I can't see how it is correct since I am under the impression that the environment is refreshed each page load and the function or method definitions (including those for session_set_save_handler) would need to be re-established each page, not each session. I am having tremendous difficulty debugging some code I wrote and eliminating my uncertainty regarding this point would be greatly helpful. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Because i'm already procrastinating ... google site:php.net equazcion http://www.php.net/session_set_save_handler wherein: equazcion 10-Mar-2007 02:44 I know this might be obvious, but session_set_save_handler() should only be called once per session, or else your saved data will keep getting reset. If your script doesn't have a predictable start page that will only be called only once per session, place the session_set_save_handler statement in an include file, and call it via require_once(). I doubt that this is correct. The save handler that is being set is not, in itself, a part of the session, but a function that is to be used to act upon the session. That is, there isn't anything inherent to the session in the function. Thus, it wouldn't be saved as *a part of* the session. It's just a handler. It's not as if the function, itself, were a container for the session vars. Looking at the source in head for that function[1] it would appear to fail if a session has already been started, in which case equizcion's comment would be wrong. If the OP is concerned about it I suggest they try it and see what happens. -Stut [1] http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/ext/session/session.c#1473 -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Are you sure that server has a route to the server it's trying to talk to? No firewalls in the way? Is the target server working properly? If you were missing a component required for your code to work PHP would tell you that.

The situation is different when it comes to UTF-16 and -32, where magic quotes could insert octets inside code units.

[PHP] PHP Books - A poll of sorts
Evening all! (at least it is evening here in Texas) We all have our favorite PHP books and resources but there is one tome that seems to be missing from the group...a best practices book. We all have our preferences for what we call best practices and it seems at this stage in the life of PHP that there would be a guide to the best of the best. I am not talking about the holy wars here (like bracket placement) I am talking about things like testing variable in conditional situations or the proper use of constructors or ways to leverage the power of PHP with databases. If there was a best practices book would you buy it? (I am showing complete disregard for the thread on copyright infringement v. theft.) Or do you rely on other sources like this list, articles, etc to derive your own set of practices? Thanks for indulging me.

Re: [PHP] Concatenation vs. Interpolation
In my opinion, concatenation reduces code readability because unlike java(that uses + operator), php uses dot(.) for concatenation consider the following codes: //java String mystr=hello+world; is more readable from: //php $mystr=hello.world; if you only need echoing something to output(which is not usually the case in MVC and/or other effective methods), the fastest way is using comma: echo 'hello',$mystr,blah,blah ;

at run-time. A lot of static content is pulled in this way and relocated
using compile-time accumulators. Then I use run-time accumulators to
flush content at run-time into the appropriate areas if necessary. This
allows me to create a layout that is compiled once at compile time but
with flush hooks for run-time. For instance for simplicity I use the
following tag in the head area to set up JavaScript:
jinn:javaScriptSystem/
This is the same as doing the following manually:
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptTags/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptTags dynamic=true/
jinn:javaScript
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScript/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScript dynamic=true/
function javaScriptOnLoad()
{
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad/
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad dynamic=true/
}
/jinn:javaScript
-
The body tag will have an onload=javaScriptOnLoad(). Then in a content
file I can add the following:
jinn:accumulate name=javaScriptOnLoad
// some javascript code to modify the DOM
/jinn:accumulate
And it will get relocated at compile time to the location of the static
flush statement: jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad/
Similarly within my code at run-time I can do the following:
$mAcc = $this-getServiceRef( 'accManager' );
$acc = $mAcc-getRef( 'javaScriptOnLoad' );
$acc-append
(
' // some javascript to modify the DOM '
)
And it will be get flushed into the content at the location of the
dynamic flush statement:
jinn:accumulatorFlush name=javaScriptOnLoad dynamic=true/
So all in all, it's very simple for me to put JavaScript (and any
content for that matter) anywhere I please. I often use it for layout
areas (such as left pane, right pane, etc), menus, visitor notices, etc.
BTW if you're wondering why I have a jinn:javaScript tag it's because
who wants to remember the following:
---
script type=text/javascript!--//--![CDATA[//!--
//--!]]/script

Re: [PHP] PHP Books - A poll of sorts
The vast majority of my work these days is done using the Drupal CMS, which has its own coding standards and best practices and conventions that are (IMO) pretty darned good. I've adopted most of it in my non-Drupal work, too, for simplicity. So um, maybe, but I probably wouldn't jump at it as I feel I'm already using good enough practices.

[PHP] Strip numerical indices from array
PHP General list, I've got an associative array that also includes a numerical index. The numerical index was automatically generated from the mysql_fetch_array command, so it the values are the duplicates of the associative key names. Is there a way to simply strip off the numerical index, leaving only the associative key names? -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] phpinfo problem
I have just installed PHP-5.2.3 on my Kubuntu Feisty box. I removed all the debian php first and then compiled php with the options I needed. Now everything seems to be working except phpinfo.php which consists of one line. ? phpinfo(); ? I get a blank screen. If I delete the php.ini file it get the usual phpinfo output. php -r phpinfo(); works as does php -i and my php scripts run fine. What would cause phpinfo.php to not work? It's set rw for the apache2 user so I think the permissions are right. Is there a phpinfo enable/disable in the php.ini? Or in ./configure? Thanks.

Re: [PHP] phpinfo problem
You probably just have short_open_tags set to Off in your php.ini file. If so, either turn it On, or change the file to be: ?php phpinfo(); ?

Re: [PHP] Strip numerical indices from array
There is, but you want to be using mysql_fetch_assoc() instead which gives you just the keyed indexes in the first place. Or, better yet, use mysqli_ or PDO which offer better security than mysql_ if you're running PHP 5 (which you are, right? g) On Sunday 12 August 2007, Dave M G wrote: PHP General list, I've got an associative array that also includes a numerical index.

The team that delivers the Chisimba framework (http://avoir.uwc.ac.za), has also developed our own best practices, as well as documentation standards and coding standards. These standards are pretty much in line with most of the large projects out there (I have never needed to look at Drupal, so I cannot comment there), but I am willing to bet that there isn't much of a difference. We publish our coding and doc standards, as well as a bunch of HOWTO's etc to get started, under a CC BY-SA license, so that if people would like to adopt that, or build on it, they are free to do so. I would not mind seeing at least *some* homogeneity in PHP code, across projects, but I still don't think that *all* projects need stick to the same standards - this will ultimately stifle creativity, which is what PHP is all about anyway.
