Question about mySQL and PHP, when using the mySQL ORDER BY method...


Basically I've got data coming from the database where a wine 
producer-name is a word like:


Château Bahans Haut-Brion

or

La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion

or

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion

but I need to ORDER BY using a varient of the string:

1)  If it begins with Château, don't include Chateau in the 
string to order by.
2)  If it begins with La, don't order by La, unless the first 
word is Chateau, and then go ahead and order by La.



Example sort:  Notice how the producer as-in comes before the 
parenthesis, but the ORDER BY actually occurs after a re-ordering of the 
producer-string, using the above rules.


Red: Château Bahans Haut-Brion (Bahans Haut-Brion, Château )
Red: La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion (Chapelle de La Mission 
Haut-Brion, La )

Red: Le Clarence de Haut-Brion (Clarence de Haut-Brion, Le )

That logic between mySQL and PHP, I'm just not sure how to 
accomplish?  I think it might involve a mySQL alias-technique but I 
could be wrong.


Right now, my PHP call to generate the search is this:

$query = 'SELECT * FROM wine WHERE MATCH(producer, varietal, 
appellation, designation, region, vineyard, subregion, country, vintage) 
AGAINST ( ' . $searchstring . ')  ORDER BY producer LIMIT 0,100';




Hi,
Try to solve your Logic on your programming language and to select Data

Maybe there's a good way to do it with the table as is... but I'm
doubtful. I would create a second field that contains a pre-processed
version of the name that performs stripping to achieve what you want.
This could be done by a PHP script when the data is inserted into the
database, or if not possible like that, then a cron job could run once
in a while, check for entries with this field empty and generate it.


Yeah I'd suspect that the storage overhead is nothing compared to the 
speed increase you'll get during the read operations if you don't have 
to dick around with the data :)


(yes I'm comparing bits to time, but I don't have time to explain that bit).

If you have to call stripslashes() on data coming FROM MySQL, then you
have really messed up...

You've put in data that was escaped TWICE, probably with Magic Quotes
ON followed by addslashes (or mysql_real_escape_string).

like this:

if (!$r) {
$this-last_error = mysql_error();
return false;

mysql_free_result($r);
if ($this-auto_slashes) {
return array_map('stripslashes', $ret);
} else {

}
}

and then you would call it in your code like:

public function CheckValidUser($Email, $Password) {
$PasswordEncoded = $this-encode($Password);
$sql = SELECT * FROM CMS_Users WHERE Email='$Email'
AND  
Password='$PasswordEncoded';
$row = $this-DB-select_one_row($sql);
if ($row) {
// User info stored in Sessions
$_SESSION['Status'] = loggedIn;
$_SESSION['ID'] = $row['ID'];
$_SESSION['Email'] = $row['Email'];
$_SESSION['AdminLevel'] = $row['AdminLevel'];
$_SESSION['FirstName'] = $row['FirstName'];
$_SESSION['LastName'] = $row['LastName'];
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}


note the changes:
- use of mysql_fetch_assoc in the select_one_row function
- putting the return value of the function into $row and then using that
between the if function

2005-07-27 Thread axel

Sure that your php.ini is located correctly?


I have installed php 5.0.4 on my windows 2000, IIS 6.0 server.  PHP works but 
when I try to connect to MySQL I get the Fatal error: Call to undefined 
function mysql_connect().  I have uncommented the line in the php.ini file that 
says 'extension=php_mysql.dll'.  I have path variables set for both c:\php and 
c:\php\ext.  One very peculiar thing that I noticed when I ran phpinfo() is 
that it shows the extension_dir is set to c:\php5 even though in my php.ini 
file it is set to c:\php.  I have a feeling that this is where the problem 
exists.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] mysql question

2004-01-16 Thread Christian Calloway
Well let me try and describe a simplified version of what I am doing. I work
for a group of analysts, and they analyse technical products. Each products
has about 300+ fields associated with it, and each product is vastly
different from the other. Let's say the product foo has a table fields
associated with it, which describes each field in foo (its name,
description, type[float,boolean,text], order) and another table called
data_foo which is 300+ fields in length. Each record in data_foo
represents the technical specfiications of a single company/manufacturer. So
if there are 200+ companies, there will be at least one data_foo record
associated with it (in reality there is a one to many association between a
company and the number of technical specifications they have defined).There
are many different applications designed around the tables foo and
data_foo, and course the relationships are slightly more involved, but I
digress. Each new product specification requires that I create a new table
to hold that data, and with new product specifications being created every
month, you see that the N number of tables will increase. If I store that
data in the fields table or create a table that has 1-many relationship
with it, I endup with thousands and thousands of records (Remember, each
product has 300+ fields associated with it, and each company has at least on
product specfication, and the N number of products continues to increase).
Any ideas?

Christian,

I did a bit of digging in the MySQL docs to try and find the limits on 
number of fields in a table, etc. Didn't have much luck. I would not worry 
about thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of rows in a table for two 
reasons. First MySQL is becoming a heavier-duty database, and second, when 
the proper indexes are used it is blindingly fast at retrievals. Apparently 
the database engine also handles a large number of tables quite well.

When tables will be multiplying like bunnies, as you posit here, I foresee 
major code headaches.

I've thought about following type of design but have never implemented it. 
Might it work in your situation? Maybe this is what you are already doing, 
and I've just  relabelled it. If so, please accept my apologies.

Have standard tables for the basic stuff.: company, with co_key, address 
fields etc; products with prod_key, co_key, prod_name, etc.

Have two other tables, let's call them prod_descriptors and prod_data. 
We're violating one of Codd's principles here because the prod_data table 
has meaningless field names, just f1, f2, f3, f4 ... fn. How you sort out 
which data types to use is your business.

Prod_descriptors contains the meta information which makes prod_data 
useful. Its fields, at a minimum, would be prod_key, prod_characteristic, 
prod_data_field. For a given prod_key M56H there would be a record for 
each product characteristic which you have to track, and the field used in 
prod_data.

This may be a somewhat extreme example, as it is highly likely that there 
are a common characteristics for all products, so things would not have to 
be totally generalized. This design is also somewhat wasteful of disk 
space, but MySQL does a remarkable job, internally, of conserving space so 
it is used efficiently. The thorny issue of which data types to use in what 
columns hasn't been addressed either.

The crunch is whether or not you can ask questions of these tables and 
fetch the data you need.

Re: [PHP] mysql question

2004-01-16 Thread Christian Calloway
Hey Mike,

That is almost exactly what I am doing. I have a table, lets say
product_fields which describes each characteristic/field of a product
(with N possible fields). A definition of a field includes, its name (as the
customer see's it), its type, a named-reference to the field in the data
table, and of course the id of the particular product.  The products_data
table is composed of fields sequentially labeled from f1 to fn, and contains
the actual data. The only difference being that I am creating a new
products_data table for each product (so something like
products_data_$productid), as opposed to storing all field data in a
singular large table. So the real question is, is it favorable to have one
large table with N number of fields (products * fields), or N number of
smaller tables (N products). I have absolutely no idea, but I will do some
digging myself. Thanks for the help

 for a group of analysts, and they analyse technical products. Each
products
 has about 300+ fields associated with it, and each product is vastly
 different from the other. Let's say the product foo has a table
fields
 associated with it, which describes each field in foo (its name,
 description, type[float,boolean,text], order) and another table called
 data_foo which is 300+ fields in length. Each record in data_foo
 represents the technical specfiications of a single company/manufacturer.
So
 if there are 200+ companies, there will be at least one data_foo record
 associated with it (in reality there is a one to many association between
a
 company and the number of technical specifications they have
defined).There
 are many different applications designed around the tables foo and
 data_foo, and course the relationships are slightly more involved, but
I
 digress. Each new product specification requires that I create a new
table
 to hold that data, and with new product specifications being created
every
 month, you see that the N number of tables will increase. If I store that
 data in the fields table or create a table that has 1-many relationship
 with it, I endup with thousands and thousands of records (Remember, each
 product has 300+ fields associated with it, and each company has at least
on
 product specfication, and the N number of products continues to
increase).
 Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] MySQL Question

2004-01-15 Thread CPT John W. Holmes
From: John Taylor-Johnston [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Sorry, don't want to be off-topic, but have found something curious about
MySQL 4.0.16-standard.

 It does not seem to prioritise properly. Searching for 'English Canada'
 (as opposed to +English +Canada)
 gives me all instances of both words but does not prioritize the display
order for
 'English Canada' first and then 'English' then 'Canada'.

And how would you know that?

 SELECT * FROM ccl_main WHERE MATCH
 (YR,AU,ST,SD,SC,BT,BD,BC,AT,AD,AC,KW,AUS,GEO,AN,RB,CO) AGAINST ('English
 Canada' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
 ORDER BY id asc;

 versus

 SELECT * FROM ccl_main WHERE MATCH
 (YR,AU,ST,SD,SC,BT,BD,BC,AT,AD,AC,KW,AUS,GEO,AN,RB,CO) AGAINST ('English
 Canada' IN BOOLEAN MODE);

 gives the same order.

Given these queries, you're not ordering by the relevance MySQL determines,
so you really don't know. You need to also use your MATCH ... AGAINST
condition in the SELECT columns and then order by that.

SELECT *, MATCH
(YR,AU,ST,SD,SC,BT,BD,BC,AT,AD,AC,KW,AUS,GEO,AN,RB,CO) AGAINST ('English
Canada' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS relevancy FROM ccl_main WHERE MATCH
(YR,AU,ST,SD,SC,BT,BD,BC,AT,AD,AC,KW,AUS,GEO,AN,RB,CO) AGAINST ('English
Canada' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER BY relevancy DESC;

Now I can't honestly say that MySQL determines English Canada is more
relevant than the two words found by themselves, but this will show you
whether it does or not.

Hey,

Sorry to post a mysql question here, but I wanted an answer from a PHP
perspective. I am currently working on a database (for work) which contains
40 tables, and will continue to expand. The reason for expansion of tables
is to obscure to get into, but the relationships all do make sence. I have
never worked on anything over like 50 tables, and I was wondering if I
should expect a performance hit, when say, I have 100 tables, 200 tables,
etc. Would it be wiser to break up the logical sections into there own
databases? Wouldn't that cause a bigger hit (to performance) with multiple
tables from multiple databases being opened on every user query? Thanks in

There may be a shorter way, but the only thing I can think of at the 
moment is to do this via multiple queries ie

query to create new database
query to read tables and structure in old db
queries to create new tables in new db
queries to dump data from old tables
queries to load data to new tables
You may want to try the mysql list to see if this can be done in one query.

You'll need to do it with PHP...

Here's one method...

?php

//connect to database
$database = 'xxx'; //name of database to copy
$ndatabase = 'yyy'; //name of new database
mysql_query(CREATE DATABASE $ndatabase);

$rs = mysql_query(SHOW TABLES FROM $database);
while($r = mysql_fetch_row($rs))
{
  mysql_select_db($database);
  $rs2 = mysql_query(SHOW CREATE TABLE {$r[0]});
  $ctable = myqsl_result($rs,0);
  mysql_select_db($ndatabase);
  mysql_query($ctable);
  mysql_query(INSERT INTO {$r[0]} SELECT * FROM {$database}.{$r[0]});
}
?
Untested... but should work (when run as a user with suitable 
permissions). :)

 Very slightly OT but great minds here

 I have a table with two columns and I need to get all the items that are
 not in the shop number I select, with the exception of items that are in
 the shop number I select.

 Table

 Shopnumber item
 1 orange
 1 banana
 1 apple
 1 pear
 2 grape
 2 coca cola
 2 pepsi
 3 orange
 4 orange
 4 pepsi
 4 7 up
 4 sunny delite


 I need to be able to work out all the items that are in the other shops.
 For example if a customer picks orange from shopnumber 1 I need to get a
 result that has all items in all shops except shop1
 The problem is my query still picks items that are in shop1 if they are
 in another shop as well, which is not what I need

 My current query is select * from table where shopnumber!=$shoprvar.
 As an example if I use select * from table where shopnumber!=1 I would
 get grape, coca-cola,pepsi (x2),7 up, sunny delite and orange (x2). I
 don't want orange because it is in shop1!

 Yes, good point. I don't know if it matters in MySQL either, but always

Most PHP apps underlying storage simply does not reach the dimensions 
needed for the difference to show up (that is, when rows come in hundred 
of thousands and you have a fairly good normalized data structure, say 
at least in the third form). Yest if you don't normalize data you might 
see it degrade when you are just in the pale realm of thousands.

For what I could make out of it myself, it has to do with the fact that 
an SQL macro instruction (if you pardon the use of the macro term in 
this context) needs to be translated to some set of and...or clauses 
before the engine can actually execute it. Some engine does the 
translation on a per row basis, which is why they can end-up killing 
your performance.

That's just my own fantasy about it, no such assertion is in *any* docs 
that I saw. But if it was done just once the size of your query set 
should be irrilevant to performance, methinks.

Also, I hope you are validating $current_shot if register globals is on, to

Not in MySQL.

You should add an auto_increment index field to your table, and then you 
can always use that to see where you are.

Why don't you just increment a counter as you are retrieving them.

mysql_select_db(some_DB) or die(DB not available);
$query = select some_data from some_table;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$rowcounter=0;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
   extract($row);
   $rowcounter++;
   echo(You are on Row $rowcounter wich contains the);
   echo( data $some_data for the field named some_data);
}

Re: [PHP] MySQL question...not sure if this is the correct forum to ask.

2002-02-14 Thread DL Neil

Peter,

   I have a quick MySQL question...if this is not the correct forum for
 it, then someone please point me to the right one.
 
   Can the UPDATE statement have conditional check embedded in it?  I
 have a page that displays a record (in a FORM format) that the user can
 change the information on each column.  I want to check each column and
 see which has been changed and update the table for entries that were
 changed only.
 
 for each column data {
   if column is changed
   then update;
   else
   do nothing;
 }
 
 Maybe I am making this too complicated than it needs and just go ahead
 and update all of the columns regardless with the new values, regardless
 they are actually different or not.


There is a MySQL list, and a separate PHP-DB list.

UPDATE is 'intelligent', it will only modify the row if there is something to change.

Regards,
=db

Yes, sorry by the off-topic but I wanted to know if wnybody here could help
me because in mysql I couldn´t find any answer. Also I have seen a lot of
questions relative to mysql answered here.

But you´re right it´s a off-topic.

this question has nothing to do with PHP.  You can email the MySQL mailing

Subject: [PHP] Mysql question


I have a site using PHP  Mysql. About a month ago to now one of the tables
gets corrupted with the message Got Error 127... I fix it and everything
works OK, except every time I loose 1 record.

Today I could obtain mysql.err from the machine and I could see whenever an
error is produced by date, previously I have the following line:

020205  9:57:46  Aborted connection 137 to db: 'Biblioteca' user: 'ODBC'
host: `localhost' (Server shutdown in progress)
020205  9:57:46  Aborted connection 124 to db: 'Biblioteca' user: 'ODBC'
host: `localhost' (Server shutdown in progress)
or

020205 12:55:51  Aborted connection 377 to db: 'Biblioteca' user: 'ODBC'
host: `localhost' (Unknown error)
020205 13:05:37  Aborted connection 504 to db: 'Biblioteca' user: 'ODBC'
host: `localhost' (Unknown error)


It doesn´t seems too clear for me because no ODBC client should be
accessing
to the database. Should I suppose that an unautorized ODBC client is
breaking the table or could be another problem?

Thanks a lot.
Emiliano.

How about actually using distinct?

SELECT DISTINCT(email_addr) FROM myTable WHERE x = 1

You would use neither :) To get the distict email addressese you can
use

SELECT email_addr FROM myTable WHERE x = 1 GROUP BY email_addr

Check MySQL manual for SELECT options for more info.

Re: [PHP] mySQL Question....

2001-04-17 Thread Jason Caldwell

Opps. I meant GROUP BY... and it looks like I don't need to include the
COUNT().

SELECT email_addr, x GROUP BY email_addr HAVING x = 1;

Is this the only way to display a listing without duplicates, or is there a
more efficient (faster) way?  I don't want to DELETE the duplicates, just
don't want dups to show up in my SELECT queries.

Thanks.
Jason

Re: [PHP] Mysql Question

2001-02-03 Thread Richard Lynch

Can i know the date of the last table update in a Mysql database?

You can add a field named 'modified' that is of type 'timestamp' and use:

select max(modified) from blah;

I don't know of any documented way to check the last modified time for a
whole table.
