Look at the odbc access using php:

Subject: [PHP] My boss wants to know...
Hi guys, got a tricky question here and I know I will probably get
flamed for asking it here but here goes!
My boss wants me to put a large Access database onto the net so that
people can query it both from the company and from the outside and he
wants to be able to have the database up to date and also easy to
change.
As far as I can see that leaves me with only Active Server Pages in
which to access this database or am I wrong?

You can use PHP, of course. ODBC or COM.
Here is an example some program automatically created that shows how to
connect to and query an Access database:
$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");
$conn->Open("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq="
.realpath("datab/test.mdb"). ";Password=;");
$SQL="SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count FROM test";
$countx = 0;
$rs = $conn->Execute("$SQL");
while (!$rs->EOF) {
$countx = $rs->Fields("Count");

Well, just in case anyone's interested...
My problem was fixed by just compiling PHP as a standard module, not APXS.

Hi guys,
I've found me a problem...
A portion of a script is causing the child apache process to be terminated:
[notice] child pid 23620 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I never had a problem with this script until I upgraded to 4.2.3.
The only other difference is that now I have PHP compiled as an APXS module,
whereas before it was compiled into apache.
The script is below...
$pass_gen = substr(ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", crypt(time())) .
ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", crypt(time())) .
ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", crypt(time())),
9, 10);
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Liam

Or if you use md5() which encrypts the same way every time you could just get a
CD-ROM with a trillion different character combinations that could be valid
passwords and encrypt them, then compare the encrypted strings.... With the
current hardware available that might take..oh a half a second ro so. So, it's
more important to protect the actual SOURCE then the information stored in the
source. Of course this is a debate that coudl go on forever, when does hardware
encryption rule all?

I'm on a roll with the ASP questions these days, since I picked up the
Chiliasp.
Here's one:
ASP has the function Option Explicit build in, it yells when you use
variables without prior declaration, couldn't find anything like that in
PHP documentation.
Thanks in advance.

If you set error_reporting to E_ALL (or include E_NOTICE, I think), then
PHP will give warnings when an undeclared variable is used.
---John Holmes...

Well, you can set error_reporting to E_ALL, which will cause PHP to
complain if you use a variable without having it initialized. There is
no exact equivalent to Option Explicit--and there still isn't any need
to declare the variables, just to initialize them before use.

There's 2 ways to get that: use the php.ini setting ERROR_REPORTING, or the
function error_reporting(). to see undeclared variable use, call
error_reporting(E_NOTICE) at the top of your script.

wait, I take that back... I meant "to see uninitialized variable use", since
there's really no such thing as "declaring" a variable in PHP unless it's a
class member.

I can't figure out why the following code is not returning a column
total:
$sql1 = "SELECT SUM(hostingcost) FROM $tablename WHERE webserver =
'$webserver'";
$hosting = pg_exec($connect, $sql1);
echo $hosting;
This returns: Resource ID #3
The only thing I can think of is that the hostingcost column's default
value is set to MONEY which is a postgres specific constraint. The
query works fine within psql on the server, but not with php.
Thanks for any help.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Because pg_exec only executes the query and returns the resource that's
associated with the returns. If you want to read the results, you should
use pg_fetch_result():
$sql1 = "SELECT SUM(hostingcost) FROM $tablename WHERE webserver =
'$webserver'";
$hosting_rs = pg_exec($connect, $sql1);
$hosting_data = pg_fetch_row ($hosting_rs, 0);
$hosting = $hosting_data[0];

Sorry for this slightly off topic question, but I beleive many of you will
have delt with this kind of thing before.
My client is asking for a Online Merchant that will allow him to validate
and charge credit cards. He orginally suggested Pay Pals but after I read
their docs I found that the Customers would have to sign up for a Pay Pals
account, which my client dislikes.
So can anyone recommend a good (maybe cheap) Merchant that can validate and
charge credit cards online? My client is searching for some reviews online,
but he asked if I could maybe get a list from progammers which have done it
before.
Thanks

Most of our local banks here in Australia offer merchant facilities.
Judging by your email address your from the UK but I cant see any reason why
it should be different. Why dont you find out who your boss his/her banking
with and contact them regarding a merchant service...?

Yeah off-topic but I was wondering the same thing myself as I have not
done many carts in awhile.

A few months ago I setup a client with Authorize.net. I always hated
using them as I lose control for a click but it worked out well. I save
all the data before I send them off and then update their record when
Authorize.net sends them back to the url that I gave them. It has
worked well.
Last year I used Verisign and they were very good. Very helpful and
simple API. They bought cybercash who I used to use all the time.

We use an Authorize.net reseller, merchantexpress.com. While the sign
up process can be a hassle, I'm pretty happy with Authorize.net.
Since we use the ADC Direct method, we don't lose control at all.
When the customer submits their credit card info, our PHP script uses
Curl to securely request authorization from Authorize.net and then
decides what page to show the customer based on the response it gets
(i.e., card declined, card accepted, etc)

You dont normally need to specify anything in php.ini for it to work
just make sure you have
--with-mcrypt=/usr/src/mcrypt-2.6.x (thats where it was untarred)
when you configure php. I have it working with nothing set in php.ini

Hi there,
I need some help here:
1 - I have a table created on a DB where I insert the data that I want.
2 - I have a submit page to submit the info I want to the DB
3 - I have a page that displays the info from the DB (choosed by id)
4 - I have a page where I have a text box field and a button.
When i want to submit some info to database, I give the pretended id (not
auto_incremment), for example 100001 and the rest of the info.
The info is inserted and the id is 100001.
Now, I want to see the info with the id 100001, so I use the page with the text box
filed and insert the ID 100001. When hit OK, i want to see the info of id 100001
displayed on the (for example) info.php page, where ?id=100001.
If i insert the id 100002 and if it exists, I want to see the info displayed on
info.php page, where ?id=100002.
Any soul can give me a possible code to use on the "search" form, in order to see the
info displayed on the info.php page??
Thx
Miguel

SELECT * FROM yourtable WHERE id = $_REQUEST['id']
And show the results...
All you have to do is make a page that receives the ID you typed in,
uses it in a query, and then shows the result of the query.

Ok, here is the question:
I have a sql query, nothing special. It has 3 variables. I have created the
php code to display the variables in context with the html code. I need it
to loop a select number of times, most likely twice, and therefore display
the first two rows of the query.
In other words, querying the database for a set of rows, it needs to display
the first two of the rows on the page.
Here is the code I have tried so far, which has either looped continuosly or
displayed the top row twice (edited for security):
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM [database] ORDER BY [collumn] LIMIT 2";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("problem with $sql");
// list($title) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<td width=48% align=left valign=top>
<h3>What's New?</h3>
<?php
/* It tried this: */ while(list($link, $title, $content) =
mysql_fetch_array($result)){
/* And this: */ while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result) and (($count++)<2)){
// The first kept looping infinitely, the second displayed the top row
twice. Grr... >_<
?>
<h4>
<a href="<?php echo mysql_result($result,0,"link"); ?>"><?php echo
mysql_result($result,0,"title"); ?></a>
</h4>
<p>
<?php echo mysql_result($result,0,"content"); ?>
</p>
<?php
}
?>
</td>
Thanks for any help you can provide.

With the line:
while (list($link, $title, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
The php docs don't actually say what the list() function returns, but since
your getting an infinite loop i would say that it probably evaluates to
true no matter whats on the right hand side of the assignment. I would
suggest that you use:
while ($tmp = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
list($link, $title, $content) = $tmp;

I've loaded an html file into a string. What I'd like to do is create two
new strings:
first new string with the original string but remove all content from the
beginning of the file up to and including <body>, and then remove from the
end of file up to and including </body>
second new string only containing content after <head> up to and including
<body>
Any ideas on simple ways to do this?
TIA

There are a couple of ways you could do it, the proper way with a regular expression,
or you could just kludge it using explode() and chucking out the stuff you did not
need.

If you can guarantee that your body tags are lowercase and have no args,
then I would check out strtok() in the string functions. If your body tags
are not that easy to match then I suggest you use either a regex or write a
state machine to parse the string. A good html parsing state machine is in
the php source for htmlstriptags. Note that Regex's are extremely expensive
on large strings.

try something along the lines of:
preg_match('/<body[^>]*>([.]*)</body>/im', $string, $foo);
$foo[1] = 'your body string';
preg_match('/<head>([.]*)<body/im', $string, $bar);
$bar[1] = 'your head string';
while not tested (and probably off a little) this should get you going...

I am trying to create an array to hold shopping cart information. The array
I am using is called "cartArray". What I want to do is to define a
sub-array of cartArray with the information from one product. Then the next
time a product is added it appends then new information as a second
sub-array to cartArray and so forth. Following is some code I have been
using to test with and so far PHP will let me use ".=" to append but when I
try to call it back with "print_r" or echo array[][] only the first entry is
returned. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
--------------------------------------------
$brand="Brand1";
$itemnumber="456789";
$itemname="Some Item Name";
$itemqty=3;
$cartArray[] .= array(0=>array($itemnumber=>"$brand", "$itemqty",
"$itemname"));
print_r($cartArray)."<BR><BR>";
$brand="Brand2";
$itemnumber="123456";
$itemname="Another Item Name";
$itemqty=9;
array_push($cartArray, array($itemnumber=>"$brand", "$itemqty",
"$itemname"));
print_r($cartArray)."<BR><BR>";
echo $cartArray[0][0]."<BR><BR>";

Thank you,

Haven't really been following this thread but you may want to make sure that
1. mysqldump & gzip are executable by apache
2. $backupdir is writeable by apache
3. You have taken into consideration your php safe mode settings

If you set a variable inside your script called $validuser=true, how
would you know if that was POSTed to your script or I added
secretpage.php?validuser=true
to the URL? Bet you wouldn't have checked...

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?

I'm using the following function to create the files. the function is part
of a class so "$this->somthing" refers to somthing in that class:
function create_file($file_name) {
if (!$this->fp = fopen($file_name, wb)) {
$this->error_msg .= $this->error_create . ' ' . $file_name;
return false;
} else {
$this->file = $file_name;
return $this->fp;
}
}
Also the script using this class is in the http-server-root and includes
this class. the include file isn't in the http-server-root, but that
shouldn't have any effect since it's not the include file that calls to
function.
The calling script: http-server-root
The include class: http-server-root\nef
Where I want to create files: http-server-root\nef\articles
Hope this gave you a better chance of helping me out :)
