Set a max Upload quantity dreamwaver php and mysql

The issue,
using dreamweaver php and mysql I Would like to set a max
quantity limit on file upload per user. i.e max 5 uploaded images
allowed per user.
Here is a basic example of the creation. Just need the
implementation of how to set a max upoad limit.
create table authors(
id int not null auto increment primary key,
name varchar(10) not null
image_quantity tinyint(1),
create table images(
aid int not null,
image_filename varchar(50),
foreign key (aid) references authors(id)
User id 1 would upload a file into the table images from a
php or html webpage. i.e set values "thomas.jpeg", "1"
i want to set a max upload of 5 images per user. (a folder
for each user id will be created and photos stored in that).
I could add a field of max_upload tinyint(1) to the table
users and construct a php script that could add the amount of
images entered by a user into the images table and add a +1 to each
added. Problem is i dont know how to create that script or mysql
querty in order to enter into a recorset for example.
As anyone have any ideas of the best way to set a max
quantity limit of uploads.
Thank you.

PHP, PhpMyAdmin and Mysql for a beginner

Hi,
I am a web designer that has a sound knowledge of xhtml and
css, but I am now finding that knowing about dynamic designing is
becoming more and more important to what I want to do.
So with that in mind I have started to learn php
implementation and how to call information from a database. After
doing some research on the topic, it looks like MySQL and
PhpMyAdmin are the way forward as I come from a web design role and
not a web developer one..
So I need some help where to start with these. I feel that I
can teach myself how to do it, if only I knew how to start., I.e.
Really good tutorials that are made for complete beginners like
myself.
I have never set up a Mysql server or installed PhpMyAdmin
before either; this seems like a complicated thing to do. Do I need
to install anything on my local machine? Or is it all uploaded to
my hosting account??
Please I need some direction on this; every where says
different things about it.
Thanks
Ash

It's not at all difficult. My favorite method:
- Adopt an old box; nearly anything will do. I'm running a
server on a
PII/400 with 320M of memory.
- Download a Linux distro. I'm using Fedora Core - both FC4
and FC5 on
different boxes.
http://fedora.redhat.com/ But
most distros will do.
You can get information on many of them at
http://distrowatch.com/
- Install Linux. For most distros, it's a graphical install
and goes
smoothly. Do the server install unless you want to use the
box as a
workstation. Once you've done the install, you won't even
need an
attached monitor, keyboard or mouse.
- Do a little tweaking to make sure that Apache and the MySQL
daemon
are running.
That's it for that method.
The other way is to download and install a WAMP (Windows
Apache MySQL
PHP) package. I'm not all that familiar with it, but David
Powers
posts frequently on the topic. You can look for his posts.
One
package I've seen mentioned frequently for ease of install is
XAMPP
from Apache Friends:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html
Going the Linux route means that you'll have a test box which
matches
what's available with many hosting packages (Apache/PHP on
*nix with
MySQL); you will have to do a bit of learning to administer
it,
however.
Going with Windows means that you can run the server right on
your
development machine; however, Windows Apache (and PHP and
MySQL) tend
to have a couple of gotchas which you won't run into on a
*nix box.

Trying to get Apache, PHP and MySQL up and running

I have just bought a new MacBook and I want to set up Apache, PHP and MySQL in order to create a local mirror of a website I have in my 'Sites' folder.
I fall at the first fence!! To get Apache, I switch web sharing on in System Preferences' and I get the green light. When I click the links for personal website or computer's website I get a "Safari can't connect to the server" message.
Any ideas what I should do now?

Stephen Dancer wrote:

You will need to make some change to the index file in your Sites directory in order to enable Apache for that directory.
You will have to enable PHP in the Apache config file at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
For MySQL, you will have to install it, and then fix it. You'll want to remove the StartupItem it wants to use and replace it with a launchd file. This discussion has a good roundup of the very latest tricks to get MySQL up and running with the latest security updates.

Problems with PHP and MySQLi server behaviors

Hi,
I'm a graphic and Web-designer with some knowledge of PHP and MySQL and I've been using Dreaweaver since very early ages in creating dynamic web projects and use the Bindings and Server behaviors quite a lot. But recently PHP has deprecated MySQL_connect since 2012 and it seems Dreamweaver isnt suporting the alternative MYSQLi server behaviors which will be the future of accessing Databases in MySQL along side with other options. Without this feature Dreamweaver is not of any use to us web-designers, since there are many Free great Editing software out there... Is the Dreamweaver team solving this problem? Or are you really planning on dropping this software? I've been using CS5.5 for a while and was planning on updating but this is a key feature and without it its not worth the investment.
Kind regards.

There are no plans that I know of to introduce a new set of mysqli server behaviours into DW from Adobe. They have left that to thrid party developers to bring out extensions which replace them.
What the server behaviours could do was very limiting anyway so I suspect any replacement mysqli behaviours would also be very limiting. I personally jumped into thre code and started to write my own mysqli connection files and query strings by watching a few simple tutorials on youtube - it isnt that difficult.
Look for 'php academy' on youtube - they have about 9 simple to follow tutorials on getting started with mysqli.

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?
Message was edited by: mgv2048

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Mobile Apps with PHP and MYSQL?

Hello,
I don't have Dreamweaver CS5.5 yet and I've been trying to search for information on this but I couldn't find any. I've been learning PHP and been developing with MYSQL with Dreamweaver CS5 but I wanted to know if I can use the same tags and everything if I would to build a Mobile App using the new Dreamweaver CS5.5 (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/dreamweaver-cs-55-jquery-mobile- pages/). I overlooked at the video and it seems pretty easy building an app. So is PHP and MYSQL easily integratable? Are there any examples that I might be able to check out?
Thanks!

No. PHP is a server-side scripting language that requires a server (or server-like environment) to run.
An iPhone (or Android) application does not allow for a "built-in" server (which is resource intensive and has scary security implications). You just can't build an application with PHP/MySQL for a mobile device. Instead you can build a web service that your HTML/JavaScript mobile application can then communicate with. This is the only supported way you can use PHP/MySQL in a mobile app. Again: the PHP/MySQL should reside on a server and your HTML/JS mobile app can then communicate with that web service. That's what instapaper and other applications do.
Frankly, just make a web application that's mobile device friendly and you'll:
1) Avoid all the messiness of the app stores
2) Have greater control over what your web app can do (don't have to tow the Apple/Google line)
3) Have a web app that can work across mulitple mobile devices as well as standard web browsers (i.e. more audience = more $).
4) Future proof your application (pushing updates to your server and everyone using your web app is updated)
Otherwise, read-up on Adobe AIR and what it supports and remember, the best apps are written natively for the platform (i.e. want to write an app for an iPhone? Learn Objective-C and use xCode on a Mac. Want to write an app for Motorola Xoom? Learn the Android SDK and use inteliJ).

I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

Create a new set of skin and style for OC4J

hi, I have created a new set of skin and style
for example,
just duplicated folders s_oracle10 , sk_oracle10 and rename them as s_oracle10b , sk_oracle10b (in \OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res)
however, I found that there is no new choice - oracle10b in the dropdownlist for selecting style.
how to create a new set of skin and style ??

I have read Oracle® Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Release Notes Version 10.1.3.4.1 E10404-25
=====================================================================
In Chapter 10, the section "About Skins and Styles" contains incomplete
information. The following information should appear after the section's first
paragraph:
Respective Web servers require resource files like styles to be deployed
appropriately for those applications. For example, when using OC4J as is common
in Oracle BI deployments, skins, styles and images need to be duplicated in the
following directories:
– {OracleBI}\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
– {OracleBI}\web\app\res
As a rule, customer-specific files like custom styles should live in the
{OracleBIData} folders so these are not lost during upgrades. In this case, the
custom style would then be deployed to OC4J as described above and to the
following directory: {OracleBIData}\web\res
===================================================================== copied from the pdf
we need to copy the new set to two directories.
however, I found that resources of the new set are from {OracleBI}\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
not from {OracleBI}\web\app\res
if there is a upgrade or redeployment, will the new set be removed or replaced.
why isn't load from {OracleBI}\web\app\res?
how to configure to make it load from {OracleBI}\web\app\res?
thanks

My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions. they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc. don't know why it won't let me download

my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions. they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc. don't know why it won't let me download

Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

Solaris10 basic questions PHP and MYSQL

Hi,
I am trying to learn something of Solaris because it this OS is used at my job, well, we have one system T2000 sunfire, it has Solaris10, we are trying to setup as local server to share some html files, and also we are trying to install some mysql databases, well we already setup Apache2 and it is working fine:
svcs -a | grep -i http
online Mar_10 svc:/network/http:apache2
Something that I don't know is if the server has already installed PHP and if it is running, I just found these files containing PHP:
./usr/local/php
./usr/local/php/doc/php
./usr/local/php/bin/php
./usr/local/php/include/php
./usr/local/php/lib/php
./usr/local/php/bin/php

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 593 Jun 30 2005 phpextdist
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 3068 Jun 30 2005 phpize
I was wondering if some of you can tell me if php is installed and running, I think it is not running because I created an php file and it doesn't work.
I also need to know if mysql is working or not, I think it is working, these are the process that I found of mysql:
/usr/bin/ps -ef |grep mysql
mysql 843 798 0 Feb 22 ? 40:59 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld basedir=/usr/local/mysql datadir=/export/ho

And I was thinking, before install another thing I want to be sure that php is not installed or running, I would like to ask some questions:
How can I know if php is installed?
How can I know if it is running? the way I have tried is placing a PHP file in the /var/apache2/htdocs and tried it from the browser, but it didn't work.
If PHP is installed how can I enable it or start it? and how to make it permanent or start automatically when server boot up?
What happen if i try to install the AMP, may I have to backup the files that we already have in /var/apache2/htdocs?
Will the amp cause troubles or conflict to the apache, perl and mysql that are already installed and running?
Another basic question and hope not to cause angry, is there inside Solaris any equivalent folder to "program files" like in win? it would be to have an idea of all the applications already installed in the system. or which is or are the folders in Solaris where I can see all the installed applications?
the last question the term "the box" is the term for machine, station, server?
Thanks.

Setting Up VLAN and QoS for VOIP on SG200-18

We recently purchased the SG200-18 smart switch to replace a Netgear unmanaged switch. We're moving our phone service to VOIP through our local ISP as well.
I've currently got the VOIP phone plugged into Port 17 on the SG200-18 (it's a Grandstream cordless VOIP phone).
I want to put the VOIP phone on a separate VLAN from the rest of the network and optimize the QoS settings so that the VOIP phone has exceptional audio quality even during intense network traffic.
Here's my questions:
1. Do I need to adjust anything on the type of port for Port 17 (since it looks like some form of Combo port)?
2. How do I go about isolating the VOIP phone on it's own VLAN (I'm seeing VLAN and Voice VLAN settings, not sure which one to use; I tried setting a VLAN and broke Internet connectivity to the phone until I went in and removed it)?
3. Do I need to adjust any QoS settings on the switch to better optimize the VOIP phone?
A couple of additional questions about the GS200-18 in general:
1. Do I need to adjust any of the System Time Settings on the switch? I'm in Central Time.
2. Do I need to adjust any of the Green Ethernet/Energy Saving settings or should I stick with the defaults?
Also, a couple of "getting started" side questions to Cisco:
1. I've registered a My Cisco account. What do I need to do to register my switch with Cisco and associate it with my My Cisco account?
2. What are the benefits of taking out a Cisco Small Business Support Contract, and about how much would it cost on the SG200-18 (I ordered it from Provantage)? I'm curious to see if it's worth the money.
Here's my "specs":
Switch: SG200-18
VOIP phone: Grandstream DP715 and 710 expandable handsets
Plugged into: Port 17 on the SG200-18
ISP: Local ISP (Direclynx)
Connection type: 3M down/500k up DSL, moving to a wireless connection coming up which will give us faster speeds
VOIP backend provider: VOIP Innovations
Router: Apple Airport Extreme AC model (I run all Macs and iOS devices and OS X Server on the network, so using the Apple router makes setup easier, since it doesn't QoS, trying to QoS and VLAN at the switch level)
Thanks everyone!

Hello,
Lots of different questions here so I'll try to make sure I don't miss anything.
1. Do I need to adjust anything on the type of port for Port 17 (since it looks like some form of Combo port)?
The way the combo ports work is you can either use the SFP slot for a fiber connection or the copper ethernet port, but not both at the same time. Other then that they just function as normal network ports.
2. How do I go about isolating the VOIP phone on it's own VLAN (I'm seeing VLAN and Voice VLAN settings, not sure which one to use; I tried setting a VLAN and broke Internet connectivity to the phone until I went in and removed it)?
It sounds like you created the VLAN correctly and assigned the phone, however there wasn't anything doing any routing for that VLAN. You would need to have a VLAN capable router or a layer 3 switch so that something would act as the default gateway for the voice VLAN and route the traffic for you. Since there was nothing like this your phone lost it's connectivity to the internet when you placed it in the new VLAN. I don't think the Airport is VLAN capable, but we will come back to that.
3. Do I need to adjust any QoS settings on the switch to better optimize the VOIP phone?
Once you have a seperate VLAN setup for the phone properly you only have to tell the switch what your Auto Voice VLAN is going to be and it will automatically apply recommended QoS settings for the Voice VLAN and prioritize the voice traffic. There are ways to do this manually and even with the phone in the same VLAN however the are considerably more complicated.
1. Do I need to adjust any of the System Time Settings on the switch? I'm in Central Time.
The system time isn't always very important. You can set the correct time zone, however you should know the switch does not have a battery in it to keep track of time, so if/when it reboots or loses power the clock will reset. If you would like the switch to maintain accurate time you should setup an NTP server so the time is automatically updated from the internet. The switch will keep your timezone settings once you save them. Time is mostly important for logging and things like that, so you can configure it if you like but it is not necessary.
2. Do I need to adjust any of the Green Ethernet/Energy Saving settings or should I stick with the defaults?
Green ethernet simply reduces the power usage of the switch slightly, so unless you are having odd issues where ports are disconnecting, I would just leave them at the defaults.
1. I've registered a My Cisco account. What do I need to do to register my switch with Cisco and associate it with my My Cisco account?
There isn't really a way to associate your Small Business devices with your Cisco account. If you ever call in for technical support we will use your Cisco account and your serial number to create a support case, but even then they aren't linked together. If you decide to buy a support contract, that will be linked to your switch's S/N and your Cisco ID, so in a way that would associate them together. Devices being associated with Cisco accounts is something more common with Enterprise equipment, and mainly has to do with technical support cases.
2. What are the benefits of taking out a Cisco Small Business Support Contract, and about how much would it cost on the SG200-18 (I ordered it from Provantage)? I'm curious to see if it's worth the money.
There are a few advantages to a Support Contact. Your switch comes with a Limited Lifetime warranty that includes 1 year of technical support and return to factory hardware. With a service contract you get 3 years of technical support and next business day Advanced Replacement of the switch if it need to be replaced. I just did a quick google search, and it looks like a contract (part #CON-SBS-SVC2) costs about $50.
So there are a few other things to consider however.
As a frame of reference the average VOIP call uses about 64 - 128 kbps max.
Since you don't have a VLAN capable router or a layer 3 switch, a separate voice VLAN may not be an option. You also mention that the Apple Airport does not do QoS, meaning we will only be prioritizing the voice traffic while it is on the switch. When it is passed off to the Airport to be routed out to the internet all of the QoS settings will be lost, and normal network traffic will get the same priority as voice, since that is all up to the Airport.
With one phone the hassle of getting more equipment and setting up advanced QoS isn't really worth it, especially if the link to the internet isn't going to be participating in QoS.
One last thing I wanted to mention is you are switching to a wireless internet connection. I would ask them how their latency and jitter is, as these two network statistics greatly effect voice quality, and usually wireless performs worse when it comes to voice traffic.
I hope this information helps, if you have any more questions just let me know.
Thank you for choosing Cisco,
