Help on Chinese insert into mysql (urgent)

Dear Friends,
we are running an coldfusion mx application on window,
perfect, the database is mysql, utf-8 encoding.
But when we moved to redhat linux +mysql, the chinese in the
database displayed as ?????. when we insert into database, the
chinese inserted like ????? as well...
Any thing that we missed to config...please help.
thanks,

[This page|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/] has a good explanation of where the issues might be.
The thing with character encodings is that you have to get it right at every step. If you miss one of them, then the whole thing blows apart.
From the minimal info you have here, I would take a look at the request.setCharacterEncoding() methd.
cheers,

  • Noob help to format date to insert into mysql

    Sorry, if this question has been asked before, I did di a search but could not find an answer that I could understand.  I am pretty new to DW and my coding skills are not good so please go easy on me.
    I have a simple form to insert records to a mysql database.  I have created a form validarion behaviour to require the fields that are set as not-NULL in the database.  How do I modify the code to allow the date format to be entered in the dob field in the form as DD/MM/YYYY but inserted correctly in the database as YYYY/MM/DD?
    Finally, how would I then modify it further to default to todays date?
    Here's my code:
    <?php require_once('Connections/mypms.php'); ?>
    <?php
    function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")

    Which I tried but could not make work.
    I haven't tried DATE_FORMAT but the example implies that it would work when SELECTING the date from the database to output to a page in a more conventional FORMAT. However you want to INSERT the date using the correct format.

    but I don't know how to use this in my code that already has form validation?
    That thread is implying that you would need to convert the date inserted into the form field before it is inserted into the database in the correct format.......so you may as well use a datepicker.
    Problem with letting anyone insert a date manually is that a date can be written in many formats which are NOT acceptable by the database. A datepicker overcomes all of these issues. Getting the date back out of the database is a case of simply converting via php into a format which is applicable to your country or your usage OR using the method in the first thread you provided.
    Lets see if anyone else can offer a more simple solution for you.

    That all might be good and well but I think the very important thing to note here is what the first reply stated.
    If you are going to run an Insert sql statement you need to use the executeUpdate() method. You also use this function for Updates and Delete SQL statements.
    Only Select statements that return a recordset use the executeQuery() method. The executeUpdate() method returns an interger that reflects the number of rows affected by the SQL statement.
    Like when you insert 1 row the return value of the executeUpdate method will be one. You can accordingly check this returned value to see if the operation ran successfully. A return value of 0 means that now rows where inserted.
    That is my 2c worth. I hope it helped some.

  • How to insert into mysql the creation time and modification time from java?

    first how?
    Second what is better from create the date from java or do it from mysql?
    thanks in advace
    Pedro

    One way is to use the GetDate function in mysql. This will set the date as you insert data. insert into table(date) values(getdate())
    Anytime you modifiy the table just call the function again and update its fields.
    Dont know which is beter to do. In java or on the database side.

  • Drop down menu for birthday, inserting into Mysql

    I have a registration form that inserts a new record into

    Assuming you have named the select elements and text field
    "month",
    "day", and "year", you need to add this somewhere near the
    top of the page:
    if (isset($_POST['month']) && isset($_POST['day'])
    isset($_POST['year'])) {
    $_POST['birthday'] =
    "{$_POST['year']}-{$_POST['month']}-{$_POST['day']}";
    } else {
    $_POST['birthday'] = 0;
    Then change this:
    > GetSQLValueString($_POST['Birthday'],
    > $year.$month.$day),
    to this:
    GetSQLValueString($_POST['Birthday'], "text"),

    My first guess is that the database is objecting to the use of "date" as a column name; "date" is often a reserved word in databases.
    It would be less of a guess if you posted the actual error message.

  • List/Menu (multiple selected)  insert into MySQL

    I have been building a feedback form and I am running into a
    issue that when I place a list/menu that allows multiple selections
    when I submit my form in my MySQL database it collected the
    information but only on the last multiple selection.
    For example, this is what my list/menu looks like.
    <select name="occasion" size="5" multiple="MULTIPLE"
    id="occasion">
    <option value="Spur of the moment,">Spur of the
    moment</option>
    <option value="Family dinner">Family
    dinner</option>
    <option value="Special occasion (i.e.
    birthday)">Special occasion (i.e. birthday)</option>
    <option value="Office get together">Office get
    together</option>
    <option value="Romantic dinner">Romantic
    dinner</option>
    <option value="Night out with friends">Night out with
    friends</option>
    <option value="Business meeting">Business
    meeting</option>
    <option value="Other">Other</option>
    </select>
    And my MySQL database I have it set up as...
    Field Type
    occasion mediumtext
    I do not know why I cannot have more than one selection
    inputed into my field, what must I do to correct this? Everything
    works perfectly expect the multi selected list/menu. I want to
    place all that is selected in the list/menu in that one database
    field called occasion.

    Nope. An E_NOTICE error won't terminate the script, but
    shouldn't happen
    nevertheless. While developing, the error_reporting directive
    should be
    set to E_ALL|E_STRICT and _all_ reported problems should be
    solved. It's
    not only better coding style, but also helps to prevent real
    errors. In
    this particular case it was just a guess, because it was only
    a part of
    the code. But using an uninitialized variable with a '.='
    operator for
    example would lead to a notice, which should be fixed.

    Yes, something like that.

    >will be or is already deprecated?
    All are correct and won't be deprecated. IMHO it's more or
    less just
    personal preference. It also depends on the used editor and
    its syntax
    highlighting capabilities. For example I use Eclipse/PDT for
    all my PHP
    scripts, which can also highlight variables inside a string.
    But if the
    above is your preferred way, there's nothing really wrong
    with it.
    Just some additional thoughts:
    Personally I prefer as less escaping and concatenating as
    possible,
    because such a mixture of single quotes, double quotes, dots
    and
    sometimes even escaped quote signs (for example when printing
    HTML)
    _really_ confuses me. I like to keep my code clean and
    readable.
    Something like this:
    print "<img src=\"".$someVar."\" ...>\n";
    not only hurts my eye, it is also quite error-prone. It's
    easy to miss a
    quote or a backslash and get a parse error back, especially
    in editors
    with limited syntax highlighting (or none at all). So I would
    prefer
    print "<img src='$someVar' ...>\n";
    or even
    printf("<img src='%s' ...>\n", $someVar);
    When it comes to performance issues, of course there's a
    difference
    between the various methods. But for me they don't really
    matter. In
    practice you usually won't notice any difference between an
    echo, a
    print or a printf() call for example, as long as you don't
    call them
    a million times in a loop.
    So I always just use the method that leads to the most
    readable code.
    In many cases, especially when a lot of variables or
    expressions are
    involved, (s)printf() wins. Not for performance, but for
    readability.
    But as said - personal preference. YMMV.

  • Inserting Into MYSQL Table Via Air/PHP = Not Allowed?

    I'm having trouble inserting data into my mysql database tables through my air app. All the code is pretty much exactly the same as in some examples I've seen but it simply won't do it. Is this because of some sort of security restriction because the air app is on my machine and the server with my mysql database on is elsehwhere? Or is it possible to insert data via an air app?
    Here is the example I've been following:-

    Thanks for the answers boys. I've decided I'm going to change it into a flex app instead as then there won't be any problems. It simply means I'll have to add a logon system to it.
    While were on the subject do you guys happen to know of any examples anywhere of how someone can REMOVE data from an sql table via flex/php?
    What I'm looking for is basically when a user uses my app and enters info into some text inputs, if that specfic info exists within a table then that data will be removed from the table. The way this works is that they will choose an item within a tilelist which is populated by the data from this mysql table and this will insert the data of the selected item into the text inputs and then they click a remove button to remove that item. Can't find anything similar anywhere though.
    You will have to use a common identifier, eg:
    give each row in your database an ID.
    then pass that ID value on the button press to a PHP script, which does something like:
    $deleteID = $_POST["delID"];
    mysql_query("DELETE FROM exampleTable WHERE ID='$deleteID
    maybe check that a row with that ID exists first for verification, then pass back a value indicating if removal was a success or not.
    You can delete on other values, but remember they have to be unique for the database, else you'll run the risk of deleting multiple values.
    Or you could delete on a compound key, depends on the data you're storing in the grid.

  • Help  needed  in inserting  into column  of XML type

    i have requirement of inserting data into column of xml type
    eg
    cust product cost
    1 a 3
    1 b 7
    1 c 5
    now required result should
    <PROD-LIST>
    <a>3</a>
    <b>7</b>
    <c>5</c>
    </PROD-LIST>
    Please let me know how to achieve this , i was trying write function , it was working for one values ,but how to do if many values exist .

    Take a deep breath, then retype this putting in all the words and punctuation you missed out the first time until it makes sense.
    Your sample data, for example, could be better formatted using the [pre] and [/pre] tags to preserve formatting and put in a table format. Similarly with your output. Why are two of the numbers floating around freely in your xml but the 3rd isn't?

  • Need help for "From concatenate string insert to mysql table"

    Well, most of this problem is a question about SQL syntax. In the VALUES clause you put a comma delimited list of the values to go into the new record. You insert one record at a time. How are the columns defined? Have you done any study on basic SQL?
    Mike...

  • Problem to insert  Chinese Characters(GB3212)  into MySQL

    I met a problem to insert Chinese Characters (GB3212) into MySQL using Entity Bean (or JPA).
    For example, when a hardcoded string "{color:#ff0000}&#30005;&#22120;me&#20803;&#20214;{color}" is inserted, it is displayed as "{color:#ff0000}??me??{color}" in MySQL.
    The NamedQuery is also not working for Chinese Characters.
    The setting are as following:
    GlassFish JDBC connection pool: useUnicode=true, charecterEncoding=gb2312
    NetBeans IDE: source encoding set to GB2312;
    MySql table: the column set to CHARACTER SET gb2312;
    Any experts, please give advice
    Thanks lot

    I didn't noticed that there is a {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml{color} file under {color:#ff0000}<ejb project>/server resources{color}.
    This file has a pool configuration. This config just overwite the paremeter i added using Admin Console every time a client is lauched. So there are two option to fix this problem.
    1. Insert the follwowing two lines into the {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml{color}
    <property name="characterEncoding" value="gb2312"/>
    <property name="useUnicode" value="true"/>
    2. delete the everthing in the {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml, using Admin Console {color}config your own pool & DataSource
    I tried first option & it works.
