[PHP] Database Paging using MSSQL 2000
Hello All! I am implementing a database application using PHP4 and MSSQL2000. I have a database table which has a large no. of tuples. I want to display the data in the form of pages with Prev Next buttons. I wanted to know if there is some syntax in the MSSQL Select statement which can allow me to limit the no. of records being returned. I am lookin at functionality which is similar to LIMIT in Mysql. for ex, LIMIT 10,10 in MYSQL returns to me a maximum of 10 records starting from the 10th record in the returned recordset. is there any similar functionality available in MSSQL. if not, how should I go about implementing this functionality. I would also appreciate if someopone could point me to a good tutorial on the subject using MSSQL server as the database server. best regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India

Re: [PHP] Upload moves the file doesn't copy it..
Sorry for not being able to send you the code you requested for. But I am glad that you learnt uploading files. coming to your problem, PHP by default deletes the temporary upload file it created when the script finishes execution.

I guess that someone posted a good script to browse through the contents of a specified directory and browse through it. Search through the archives for the last week or so and you shoudl land up with it. If you don't write baxck to me. I have a similar script that I wrote but I need to search for it. I will send that to you. The script does eactly what you want -filesystem manipulation after database matching. Also, to limit the filesize for uploaded files, take a look at the uploading files section of trhe php manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php there are good code snippets to achieve this. hope that helps best regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "Kenneth R Zink II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 11:30 PM Subject: [PHP] how do I do file maintenance with PHP?

well! Nice question. I haven't gone beyond 2.5 MB on any occassion. but I guess theoretically this should be possible by setting the maximum upload file size setting using the methods already discusssed.

Re: [PHP] serialize/deserialize data
what serialize does is that it allows you to store or pass data types such as arrays, objects etc without losing their structure. for ex, let's say you have an array $foo=array("abc","def") now you need to pass this array to the next page without losing the structure. that is on the next page, you shoudl be able to do $foo[0] and till be able to get $foo[0] as "abc" just do the folloowing $passFoo=serialzie($foo); and pass the value in $passFoo to the next page on the next page, you should do $foo=unserialzie($passFoo) and doing $foo[0] should give you "abc" try it out yourself writing some dummy code and you will understand it better. serialize is extremely helpful in case of storing session variables, arrrays etc. hope that helps Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "Brian V Bonini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP Lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 5:36 AM Subject: [PHP] serialize/deserialize data > What exactly does > serialize/deserialize data > mean? > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

if you are using these values to check for user login across multpile pages on your site (i.e you want the user to login at one place and you are passing the login info to all the other pages on the site using the hidden fields ) you should take a look at the concept of user sessions take a look at the phplib session management, tutorials on sessions at www.phpbuilder.com (I am not very sure bnut I recall they had one) and the session functions in the php manual. hope that helps Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "Marc Aragnou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP Lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 6:00 AM Subject: [PHP] security question > Hello there, > > I'm posting a username and a password with: > > > > > When I check $HTTP_POST_VARS I can see the values as they're plain text.

Re: [PHP] returning multiple variables from a function?
there are two ways of achieving this 1. Pass the arguments by reference and you will have their latest values after the function call. look up the manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php 2. Create an array in the function with the various values to be returned stored as its elements and then return the array. The array will then have multiple return values in its elements after the function is called. hope that helps regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "James, Yz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 2:43 AM Subject: [PHP] returning multiple variables from a function? > Hrms.

Re: [PHP] PHP File Uplaod Path
The default file upload path is the Temporary directory of your system. But the problem that I percieve in your case is that when PHP uploads the file, it gives it a temporary file name ( such as /tmp/shsgtW ). if you are loooking to store the files in an intelligent manner, I would suggest that you do not change the file upload path. Let php copy the file where it does by default. Once the file has been uploaded, copy it to the directory you want the files to reside in . This way you can also specify a legible name for the file.

Re: [PHP] test for undefined variables & renaming variables
you can test for undefined variables using isset($var) or empty($var) look into the php manual for more details on these functions yes php does provide you with an option to create variables from variables themselves refer to the following http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php hope that helps regards Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sec -16 Noida, UP India - Original Message - From: "August Malson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 12:41 PM Subject: [PHP] test for undefined variables & renaming variables > Q: > Does anyone know of a way to test for undefined variables?

Re: [PHP] Access a printer via PHP
You cannot directly access a printer from a php script. but you can try locating a a command line utility which will print the data provided to it in the command line or a the contents of a filename provided in the command line to the printer connected to the server. If the data is quite large ( in the sense let's say a reciept as it seems in your case), you might write the data to a temporary file and pass the filename to the priniting utility using the exec() command in PHP. You can obviously make the updates to teh database on the pHP page and call the exec() command once the transaction is completed.. hope that helps Ankur Verma HCL Technologies Ltd, A1CD, Sector16, Noida UP, India - Original Message - From: "ThoVer Webproducties" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 7:02 PM Subject: [PHP] Access a printer via PHP > Hello, > > For an e-commerce project we want to connect > the mySQL-database we created to a printer > (attached to a computer which has 24h > internet [and mySQL database] access).

[PHP] Automatic incoming mail notification
Hello All! Sorry for this off-topic posting but this is extremely important for me. I need a php script to be called each time my email mailbox recieves a new email message. One way is to have a cron job running and get the php script to check my mailbox every few minutes to see if there are any new emails and do the needfull if there is one. But I guess that there should be a way for the mail server to initiate some action based on the reciept of a new mail in a particular mailbox. I don't think trhat sites like Yahoo and Hotmail use cron jobs to sense new emails in a user's mailbox. Another possibility might be that the checking is being done every few minutes by the client application. if anyone has any idea about the methodology being followed by Yahoo and Hotmail, please be kind enough to pass it on. If anyone is aware of a mail server otr a mailserver addin which would enable automatic notification and initiaition of script on the reciept of a new email, please pass the info on. I am on Redhat 6.2 with cyrus as my mail server and am using PHP4. Thanks in advance Ankur Verma HCL Technologies A1CD, Sector 16, Noida
