    Heaven forbid you use a command line. I wouldn't trade my *NIX prompt for
    anything. Once you learn it you're set. MySQL's prompt is much like Oracle's
    prompt and we all know Access has NO business anywhere near "enterprise"
    software.

    I'd recommend learning the command prompt (which an hour's read on linuxdoc.org
    can fix). If you decide to move to PHPMyAdmin (ack!) I'd be willing to bet you
    move right back to the power of the prompt.

    Hello all. I am trying to search through a text file on my server to replace the user email. I can open the file and read it, but cannot get it to "find" the actual string and replace it. Can someone look over my code and see what the problem is? I am afraid that ereg is not my strongest point.

    Also, at what point should I start writing the file out? Wouldn't there be a permissions error if I was reading and writing at the same time?

    Thanks CDitty

    You need to assign the output of this function to a string: $new_line = str_replace($oldemail, $newemail, $line);

    That was the solution. It worked like a charm.

    $cmpresult = strcmp($pick1,$pick2); if $cmpresult == 0) { my code; }

    Can I also write that like the following?

    if (strcmp($pick1,$pick2) == 0) { perform some action; }

    Will that work?

    the 'while' was in the wrong place. also dropped the array() in favor of array_name[] to ensure I keep it associative.

    does mysql auto_increment always has to be 1 by 1, can't I set it to go 10 by 10, or something like that?

    and is there a way I can tell him to START (the first record) with a number or do I have to put a bogus record or even alter it's value so the next insertion is incremented from that... ____________________________ .

    I'm making a script that generates test sites usíng dummy data stored in one MySql database ("uwebsitebase")

    Now, using php-scripting, I'm copying these data to a demo-database ("uwebdemo"). The structure is the same - the same tables with the same fields. Only difference will be that the copied data should get new primary keys which are auto-incremented. No problem there.

    However, the process is tedious. I have tables that contains some 30 fields and it's just a bore selecting all fields from one table, and then writing a complete insert statement with all the fields except the PK.

    Is there an easier way? Remember 1) It's PHP 2) It's across databases.

    I have to script it, since I need the new keys on other places.

    Hi,

    Fifteen years ago I did lots of Informix SQL on Unix -- including transaction processing -- BUT I find there isn't a lot of immediate help from that experience -- I tried using some webmonkey examples as "basic training" for php with MySQL and got nowhere.

    I'm on Red Hat with Apache 1.3.9, PHP 4.02 and MySQL 3.22.32

    Is there a good place to find typical PHP and MySQL code examples for that configuration?

    My pages are "virtual" hosted and I have access to phpMyAdmin 2.0.5 which is a menu access by my ISP.

    My php.ini is at /usr/local/lib

    I've built a very small database of five fields in database "eprofitsys" in table "employees" and would like to connect to it within a .php file. So, obviously, I am at ground zero. Anyone want to lift me up.

    attached mail follows:

    Lonnie,

    Try something like this:

    create a file called db_connection_params.inc - I do this maintainability :)

    (change to match your specifics)

    <? $host="localhost"; $usr="username"; $pass="password"; $database="database_name"; ?>

    Here is a sample page with connection/query:

    <?

    $sql = "SELECT * from table WHERE field = something";

    include("db_connect_params.inc"); $link_id = mysql_connect($host, $usr, $pass); //setup a connection handle

    mysql_select_db($database, $link_id); //select database catalog (schema, namespace, etc)

    $result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id); //return result set to php

    echo $result;

    ?>

    There are lot's of different ways to do this, check out the mysql functions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

    HTH!

    attached mail follows:

    I've got a real weird problem happening after building 4.0.4pl1 and mysql 3.23.32 on my test machine. I previously had 4.0.1 up and running with an earlier version of mysql - I think it was 3.22.xx - and this combination worked fine.

    I *seem* to successfully connect to my mysql database... it's not returning any error.... but it's not returning any data either.

    PHP was configed with:

    ./configure' '--with-apache=/root/Apachetoolbox/apache_1.3.17' '--enable-exif' '--enable-memory-limit=yes' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-calendar=shared' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-yp' '--enable-sockets' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--enable-gd-imgstrttf' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysql' '--with-pgsql' '--with-ldap'

    And compiled and installed fine into 1.3.17 (as far as I could see)....but I'm not getting any results out of it.

    I can force an error on the connect to the database by supplying a bad userid - so it must be talking to mysqld fine... but I get no data out of it, and no errors.

    Here's an example of the code which is accessing the database - the database open is handled by a separate function:

    function ThePrice($prodid,$typ) { $inqSQL="select * from pricing where ProdCode ='" . $prodid . "' and Price_effDate<='".date("Y m d")."' order by price_effdate desc"; echo "<!-- " . $inqSQL . " -->\n"; $result = mysql_db_query("thedbname",$inqSQL); if (!$result) { echo mysql_error(); exit; } $rtnvalue = "!?";

    if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if ($typ=="S") $rtnvalue = $row["ProdSetup"]; else $rtnvalue = $row["ProdMonthly"]; }

    mysql_free_result($result); echo "<!-- product: $prodid Type: $typ Price: $rtnvalue . -->\n"; return($rtnvalue); }

    $rtnvalue shows up as the default value !?. Sometimes. Sometimes they show up blank. It's almost like the script is dying, but not telling me it's dying.

    The database fields are setup like this:

    mysql> describe pricing; +---------------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ | ID | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | ProdCode | varchar(50) | | | | | | Price_effdate | date | | | 0000-00-00 | | | ProdSetup | double(16,4) | | | 0.0000 | | | ProdMonthly | double(16,4) | | | 0.0000 | | +---------------+--------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

    So the field names do match... and mysql will return values when I select the rows from it directly.

    Does anyone have any suggestions??? As near as I can tell mysql_fetch_array is failing - but there is a return result otherwise I'd be getting an error message out of this routine...

    I'm really confused here.

    Is my build bad? Or is this 4.0.4pl1 version a little different?

    I apologize for making a big deal out of this. But to me, this is a big deal. I found your actions very threatening. And even days later I have actually lost sleep over it and been in a relatively bad mood because of it.

    Furthermore, below you stated I posted a URL. That URL was to a geocities.com site. That site has nothing to do with PHP and has nothing to do with my local computer. In fact, that geocities.com site only showed screenshots of what I had been working on. Obviously, it must have sparked your interest because you went to work on finding out my IP Address so that you could break into my system.

    I am not a hacker. I do not try to hack and don't know how people go about doing it. I'm a programmer. To me, those two are very different. A programmer is constructive. A programmer likes to take a problem and turn it into a solution. A programmer is creative. A programmer has respect for other people's domains and boundaries. A hacker is destructuve. A hacker takes a solution and turns it into a problem. A hacker has no respect for other people's domain or boundaries. As you have clearly done. You have overstepped a boundary with me.

    I did not know someone would come snooping up my IP Address to break into my site. I did not know it was even possible. The need to go into my database and add your username, etc. was uncalled for. Furthermore, you did not stop there. You also went into my FTP site (which was empty) and my SMTP server (which was empty) adding folders, etc. I have full logs of your activity. You did this day after day for almost five days, sir. I find that uncalled for.

    If you have copies of any of my files I suggest you delete them immediately. I have Intellectual Property rights to these files and will prosecute you if I find out you have used them to any means.

    Again, I'm sorry for making a big deal out of this. But it is a big deal. You have threatened me in a very personal way.

    End of Thread.

    One would probably guess the URL of the site you were working on was in the screenshots. You don't need to "find" an IP address at that point.

    Furthermore, Jonathan stated that he didn't "break into" your system - you left phpMyAdmin *wide* open, which is frankly asking for trouble. Imagine how much fun you'd have had if someone with *malicious* intent had found it.

    And lastly ... if he was *really* going to do anything, would he really be so stupid as to leave his commonly-known pseudonym, which can be (as you proved) easily traced back to himself?

    I think this whole issue has been blown out of proportion enough on the list now, and as it's no longer a PHP-related discussion I suggest you move it to private mail.

    And, try some valium for loss of sleep. :)

    I feel compelled to repost this, because you seem to have the right principles in mind, but the wrong term. I realize it's usually viewed as useless nitpicking to point this out, but it seems appropriate in this context to stress the misconception of what a hacker is. So if you have a free moment, please do read over some of the well-written explanations about where the word comes from, and what it stands for.

    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/hacker.html http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/hacker-ethic.html http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/cracker.html

    Your description of a programmer does fit well with who a hacker really is, so I'm sure you would appreciate what they have to say. There is, of course, a great wealth of writing on the topic, the links above are simply succinct definitions. For more in depth discussion, I'd suggest browsing the bibliography included in the jargon file, which includes excellent works, both fiction and non-fiction, relating to the subject.

    Hi Guys,

    I understand that as of version 3.24, MySQL will support subselects. But untill then (because 3.23 is the latest stable release) I need to convert this SQL satement into something that can be used with v3.2? - the version just before the latest release.

    $search = "SELECT count(search_table.word) as score, search_table.qid,page_data.contents FROM search_table,page_data WHERE page_data.pID = search_table.qid AND search_table.word IN($querywords) GROUP BY search_table.qid ORDER BY score DESC";

    Does anybody have any ideas, thanks for this guys. Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi...

    I am trying to install PHP 4.0.4pl1 on RedHat 6.2 with Apache 1.3.17 and MySQL 3.23.32

    I already compiled MySQL and it works fine

    Now I am trying to compile PHP, but the problem is that when I run "make", nothing happends...

    First, I have runned ./configure on the Apache source dir... and then on the PHP source dir, I run ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache-1.3.17

    then everything seems fine... I didnt get any error...

    but when I run make... it says that there is nothing to do

    I think that the problem is that the ./configure isn't making the makefile

    Can anybody help? thanks!!

    --in the physical world, if a door is left unlocked, even ajar a couple inches, the physical act of pushing the door open so that one can enter the door is defined as "breaking and entering".

    "Harmlessly" pushing an unlocked door open, and walking in and writing on a whiteboard "Gangstaboy was here" is just as much of a crime as unauthorizedly logging into a machine, no matter how "wide open" it is, even if "harm" is not done.

    I don't do this to point fingers, I speak this on the part of someone whose good friend got nabbed by police for "harmless" activity on the internet -- and as a result spent time in the slammer.

    --in the physical world, in the US, perhaps.

    Note to everyone else: I have no idea or interest in regional differences of this definition now, either :)

    My *point* was that he should be glad that all he did was add an entry to the database instead of deleting every damn table in there, hence the bit about "someone with *malicious* intent".

    Still, can we please leave this alone for now on the list? It's already gone on for far too long.

    I fought with this same problem for about an hour today. For me there was something changed when the file was downloaded that made it corrupt... I think it was a LF to a CR + LF or something. I tried Dling the file with Lynx on a linux machine and it was still corrupt. My fix was to DL the file on a windows machine and then FTP the file to my unix box in ASCII mode (NOT BINARY). I don't know why or what was causing the problem, but that is how I fixed it.

    Now I'm trying to install it ;)

    echo array[0]; //I want this to print "first" echo array[1]; //I want this to print "second"

    I know mysql_fetch_array pulls a ROW into an array, but in this case the row is only one item wide, so I essentially want column results in an indexed array.

    <IMG align=left alt="" border=2 hspace=0 src="" style="" vspace=2>

    And return what I want in an array.

    I need the search or piece of code to be able to differ as to which one it is using, ie/ with align or without align. I need all of the values returned in an array.
