[PHP] New User of PHp/Mysql..

2002-04-07 Thread Gordon Stewart

Ive been using Mysql/PHP for a short while - I sent this messaghe to a big
PHP group (not enough users though)  about a week ago - No reply...

Can anyone help..
PS - Slingshot.co.nz doesnt have PHP - its just a text file.. - Save to your
own  SQL server & test, Or just review the code - No viruses or anything..

Thanks.

Ive been learning MySql for about 1 week now - & joined a MySql
group - but some questions I ask are more PHP related & not directly
involving MySQL..

anyway, for my big test script, Ive got the above URL

Just 'view source' to view the PHP scripting language...

when running, it searches your databases & brings up a list of active
databases.

When selected, it brings up a list of tables within the database..

(those two functions are ok..)

Now - in the script, - near the top, it says :-

if ($action =='tables'){ <<< (start of problem area..)

Now - when you select the table, it displays all the names of each
column, within the table. (that part works..)


it has :- $tot=$i; - $tot now holds the number of columns in that
table - For my example on my PC, it held the number '17' which is
correct.


it now has 2 'loops'...

a) for ($count = 1; $row = mysql_fetch_row ($query_result_handle);
++$count)

b) for ($counta = 1; $tot; ++$counta)

Loop a, loops through the 4 rows of the database.

Loop B, displays all (17) of the colmns for each row...


Now - Problems

1) When my script runs, it is VERY fast - Doing things normally.
- EXCEPT - when it comes to the 2 loops.. - it goes Very slow - I
realise its got to do 2 sets of loops - but its going at a much
slower rate than if i did the same loops, on another programming
language.

2) It only displays the 1st row of my data.. - For the example
database i tested, I knew it had 4 rows.

problem questions :-

a) Is my looping correct - Or can anyone find a loop-hole / problem
in my programming. (Im not telling you if the pun was intentional or
not.)


PS - Ive now realised something, & changed my line from :-

for ($counta = 1; $tot; ++$counta)

to

for ($counta = 1; $row = mysql_fetch_row ($query_result_handle);
++$counta)


- now my script is really fast - However it doesnt show much of the
1st line of data :-(

PS, the uploaded one (URL above) - doesnt show the change - as yet..

Can anyone advise what im doing wrong ?

G.

Just as a curiosity - (I dont need / Want it now - Maybe later)

Where / what site, can we get a list of the valid country/city codes ?

[PHP] Getting values

2002-04-09 Thread Gordon Stewart

http://kwister.dns2go.com/php/4.php?action=tables&database=mysql&table=user

http://kwister.dns2go.com/php/4.txt

Hi - I'm online for next few hours (I'll upload to a non PHP server when i
go offline)

basically ive had help, & fixed my script to show 4 rows of 17 columns each
(Instead of 1 row of 1000 columns ;-)

Now - Ive tried the mysql_fetch_field()  & the mysql_field_seek(). commands

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-field.php

However in the example - the person KNOWS the names of the columns  eg...

blob: $meta->blob
max_length:   $meta->max_length
multiple_key: $meta->multiple_key
name: $meta->name


BUT - How do i 'retrieve' thevalues of the table if I DONT know the name of
each column..

Eg.. If i want to see Column 7, & Row 5, - the value is 3.

Column 3 row 2 = Fred etc...

How can i do this ?

As far as I know - ALL cookies set by a particular server - can be read &
re-set by any programme / process on the same server / website..

So your ASP script could read your PHP cookies & vice-versa..

I'm just learning PHP, & dont know cookies as yet (I use Perl/CGI for
cookies)
& have no experience at all on ASP...

I'll suggest to try a small PHP & a small ASP page, & try & set/read the
cookies.

[PHP] Sub groups ? - Programming structure...

2002-04-09 Thread Gordon Stewart

Hello, - I'm used (in years gone by) to the Qbasic programme, where i can
create 'sub' routines, & view each routine on its own - Without reference /
Viewing the other code.. (I think its good like that..)..

I know in CGI/Perl - you can use sub-routines etc...

1) Does PHP allow sub-routines,  eg - I can send values to the routine, & it
processes it & does whatever it requires & returns to the spot where I
called it from.

2) For those of you that know Qbasic & know what i mean, is/are there any
programmes out there that can allow you to view / see any sub-routines in
Perl and/or PHP one at a time, & list them ..

(I hope so) - Good, but not necessary..

[PHP] Apache - PHP Load-n-Go ?

2004-03-20 Thread gordon stewart

Hi there

About 12 months ago, - (on an old PC), I ran Apache, &
installed PHP.. (I dont remember any hastles at the
time..)

Anyway, I havnt used PHP much - (didnt need to..)

- I have a new PC now - & loaded Apache onto it (a
test server, before I upload to main 24/7
website/server)

Its 3:30 a.m. on Sunday now - & all Friday night & Sat
Night - Ive been trying to instal PHP & make it "Go"

However, - Its not..

CURRENT SITUATION :-

Ive installed a new PHP (on my Win 98 system)..
& when I go into http://localhost/index.php - it asks
me what I'll like to do with it...

- I say to open in I.E. - However its as of c:\etc..
etc.. etc\index.php 

It wont open it in the actual browser / website...

SUGGEST

Can anyone suggest a "Beginners guide" - Step-by-step
guide to installing PHP with Apache ?

PS

When I run PHP via a DOS PROMPT - I can put "php -v" &
it tells me the version number  etc (its in the PATH
statement)...


Thankyou

G

[PHP] PS : [PHP] Apache - PHP Load-n-Go ? : FIXED

2004-03-20 Thread gordon stewart

Sorry for the new thread - I deleted my old email
(thread ID)...

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=107979353616896&w=2

Basically : FIXED


I went to the website :-  & on the 3rd-4th screen :-

http://www.webmasterstop.com/tutorials/apache-php-mysql-installation3.shtml

I found MY answer..

I didnt have the ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"  set up
correctly..

The 3 lines I needed (without the dashes) are :-

===
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" 
===

I went to my localhost & now I've got PHP going...

[PHP] This Group....

2004-03-20 Thread gordon stewart

Hi there

Got PHP going :)

- ok - Is this the correct group to ask ? 
Or can anyone suggest another group / forum for newbie
how-to questions..

BASICALLY :- Ive been programming in HTML / CGI (Perl)
for several years, & have only 'briefly' done PHP..

- At work, Someone wants one of my CGI scripts to
convert to PHP... 

Ive only discovered this forum a few hours ago - &
have for the last 2 days/nights been trying to figure
out how to get PHP going / running (on my home
server)..
(its Sunday Morning here)...

Anyways,

Can someone point me in the right direction to some
tutorials ( & *EXAMPLES* ) to do the following
functions (or point mer to an appropriate forum - see
above)..

:- Open a file & insert into an array/variable. (im
trying to figure that one out now - get file-open
errors)..

(& close / flock etc... - not sure if flocking is on
PHP ?)

:- turn a variable (split it) into an array..

:- Loop through an array - & display a line IF it
matches another variable etc..

I think those 3 things are good starting points - I
think I'll learn fast - But just need pointers to the
usage / PHP commands - That I know I can do in Perl..


Thanks

G

[PHP] String Length ??

2004-03-22 Thread gordon stewart

Hi there

I'm new to PHP (as some may know)...

ive spotted / Found the answers to 2-3 problems
tonight - By looking through the PHP documentation..
but this problem is perplexing..


Ok - Ive got a FORM - Which basically, I put lots of
text into it (For testing purposes, I go to news
websites & copy entire articles).

The PHP script chops up the paragraphs - into one long
line of text (one line per paragraph..), & its in an
array $text.

Ok - I loop through the array, & all the text is how
it should be - displaying properly..

PROBLEM :-

Now - All I want to know - Is how long each line is -
(eg number of characters - Ive already removed
double-spaces & its now single-spacing (if any)..)

EG - Is a line 34 characters long, 127, 945 ? 

Ive looked through the PHP 'Functions' & the PHP
'documentation' for "length" (couldnt find anything..
??)

Ive found this command :-

http://nz2.php.net/strlen

Which seems perfectly fine...

Ive got this code (without the === signs)

===
foreach ($text as $color) {
   echo "SAF '$color' - ";
echo "".strlen($color)."\n";
}
===

the SAF is only for my reference - See it on the
screen..


QUESTION :-

Is this the right code to use ? to find the length of
each line ? ($color)   - No worries - Ive just copied
code from the web..)

PROBLEM :-

It looks fine - EXCEPT when I see a 3-line paragraph -
& the PHP code is telling me its over 1,200 characters
long..

(assuming  80 characters per line, 100 AT MAXIMUM) -
thats only 240 -300 characters... 

If the paragraph were 1200 characters - That would
need 8-10 lines of text...

So - Im asking here (see above)... - If Ive got the
correct code / Command...


Thanks for the help...

Hmm - why  ???

Is that PHP code - or HTML code ? - Ive seen it around
a few places - But havnt bothered to ask (till now)

- Or is there a 'hidden' process that PHP
 uses the " / " for ??

- Ok - Off to look at HTML source, then off to bed...

Thanks

Thanks - Yep - Lots of spaces in  my output...

Ive added a small regex & its got rid of the lines :)

$pattern = "/\s+/i";
$replacement = " ";
$texta= preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $texta);
