[PHP] trying to get a certain num of rows in mysql

2002-10-13 Thread Pablo Oliva

When doing a select query, is there any way to specify which rows you
want selected, as in rows 1 through 40, and then 40 - 80 on the next
query.  I've been searching through the manual but can't find anything.
Should this be done through a php script instead, or is there a native
(mysql) command/clause for this?



[PHP] syntax error on mysql select statement

2002-10-13 Thread Pablo Oliva

Can anyone see any problems with the following:
SELECT * FROM ad AS t1, ad_location AS t2 ORDER BY t1.ad_ts_update LIMIT
0,40 WHERE t1.ad_location = t2.ad_loc_id AND ( (t1.ad_cdl_a = on OR
t1.ad_cdl_b = on) AND t1.ad_longhaul = on AND t1.ad_fulltime = on ) AND
( t2.ca_losangeles = 1 OR t2.ca_santaana = 1 ) AND t1.ad_display = 1

The error I get is:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE t1.ad_location =
t2.ad_loc_id AND ( t1.ad_cdl_a = on AND t1.ad_longhaul = ' at line 1

[PHP] how to get id from table I just inserted into

2002-10-10 Thread Pablo Oliva

I have a mysql db with a particular table that I am inserting into.
This table has an id column that auto-increments.  Is it possible to get
the id of the row that I just inserted into, without re-querying???

The problem that I have is that the data being inserted will be
identical for several rows, and hence there is no way to assure that
when I query with certain parameters that a unique row, the row that I
just inserted, will be returned.  The only way that I can think of doing
this is by creating a timestamp as an identifying piece.  Am I making
any sense?

[PHP] help with mysql query / logic

2002-10-10 Thread Pablo Oliva

I have 2 tables, one with job ad information, and a second one with the
locations that this ad applies to.
 
When a person queries the job ad table with their criteria, I would also
have to query the location table to see if the location that they chose
applies to this ad.  I am not sure how to construct the sql query
though, or if there is a better way to set this up.
 
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

[PHP] post(ing) data without a form

2002-10-05 Thread Pablo Oliva

OK, I'm attempting this again:

header ( 'Location: ../test/test.php' );
sendByPost();
function sendByPost()
{
 $host = localhost;
   $port = 80;
   $postdata = field1=value1field2=value2field3=value3;
   if ($sp = fsockopen($host, $port)) {
 fputs($sp,POST /jotr/test/test.php HTTP/1.0\n);
 fputs($sp,Host: $host\n);
 fputs($sp,Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n);
 fputs($sp,Content-length: .strlen($postdata).\n);
 fputs($sp,Connection: close\n\n);
 fputs($sp,$postdata);
 fclose($sp);
   }
}

Pretty straight forward.  Now here's the code for test.php:
$temp1 = $_POST['field1'];
$temp2 = $_POST['field2'];
$temp3 = $_POST['field3'];
print $temp1.' '.$temp2.' '.$temp3;

But the data is not posting:
Notice: Undefined index: field1 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 3
Notice: Undefined index: field2 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: field3 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 5

WTF is going on, shouldn't this work?

[PHP] sending post without a form

2002-10-04 Thread Pablo Oliva

Did the individual trying to send post(ed) data without the use of a
form succeed?  I tried doing this before and didn't have any luck with
it... And I eventually gave up.

Has anybody had any luck in doing it?

[PHP] conditional statement problems

2002-10-01 Thread Pablo Oliva

$title_err = ($adTitle == ) ? 1 : strlen($adTitle)  50 ? 2 : 0;

Can anyone tell me why this is not evaluating correctly (returning a
value of 1) when $adTitle is an empty string?

[PHP] session lifetime

2002-10-01 Thread Pablo Oliva

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data
will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up
 
Let's say it's set to 900.  How is this counted, from the time of the
session is initialized, or is this counter reset every time you go to a
new page.  Does this makes sense?

[PHP] hash function secret

2002-09-29 Thread Pablo Oliva

I was reading the sept. issue of linux magazine and they discussed
security issues with web apps.
 
They mentioned that to generate signatures, you should include a secret
with your hash function:
s = S(m) = H(secret, H(m, secret))
 
What is the secret, just a sort of secret code that you include, like
some sort of random password:  gr8ckret46eme  as an example ???



[PHP] algorithm design

2002-09-29 Thread Pablo Oliva

I have a new project that I might be working on and need some guidance
from the more experienced software designers on this list. The project
is taking input from users and sorting the users, based on the input,
into 4 or 5 separate types of users, categorizing them into these
categories. I have never done anything like this, and would like to know
if you could point me in the right direction as far as sources, where I
could look to learn about this type of algorithm design. Anything would
help, psychology, algorithm design, etc. Thanks in advance.

You can run your own SMTP server, if it helps...

[PHP] sessions

2002-09-21 Thread Pablo Oliva

I have read that in order to account for browsers/users who do not have
cookies enabled, that you should append the session id to the url (query
string).  Now, if I do do that,
www.site.com?phpsessid=gafklgjr952344afgfa, do I have to do anything so
that I force php to recognize the session id in the query string?  To
clarify my question, does php recognize the session id in the query
string by default if cookies are dissabled?
