Learn Terminal, MySQL, PHP

I am looking for someone in the Tampa area to show me how to access and use Terminal, MySQL and PHP on my Macs. I am getting ready to take some online classes in MySQL and PHP and need to have those programs up and running on my Macs. I am willing to pay someone for tutoring.
Thanks,
JJ

Thanks for your reply. I do understand that he education I receive would be applicable to the Mac, but my roblem is that I do not know how to use Terminal, and how to see whether o not I have PHP and MySQL installed properly on my machines. What's more, how to access these programs.
THanks.

Apache/MySQL/PHP and Mountain Lion

I was about to buy Mountain Lion, but I just read by a reviewer that there is an issue with the webserver or websharing capabilities of it. The reviewer was saying he/she had to go into the terminal and launch it from there!
Is anybody else having issues with developing database driven sites on Mountain Lion, or are you getting on OK with it?
I currently use xammp as my apache/mysql/php server. Is anybody on Mountain Lion using xammp, if not, what equivalent are you using?
Thanks.

Starting Apache is very easy. Simply type the following into a terminal:
sudo apachectl start
I think that they removed the tick box because it's so easy to do from terminal, and not something that most OSX users need.
As SnakEyez02 mentioned, using a package like MAMP or XAMPP doesn't require this. Those apps run their own Apache

Update MySQL & PHP Version

I have a Mac Mini that I am using as a server and I can't figure out how to go about updating the MySQL & PHP that is controlled by the ServerAdmin app. Any ideas?

I ran an install of 10.4.4. The update ran with no problems.

Inserting & uploading records with Dreamweaver CS3, MYSQL & PHP

I'm able to build a web page that allows for images to be
uploaded to a server folder. Also have a web page created to insert
info about the image into a MYSQL/PHP database.
My goal is to find a way to combine the two together so that
when you click the submit button... 1) the image gets uploaded to
the server folder, 2) the info about the image gets placed into the
database table, and 3) there is an entry in the database that
establishes the path to the image.
Any help or direction to a tutorial would be greatly
appreciated.

I use a DW extension from DMXzone (Pure PHP Upload) that
allows me to both insert data form an online form into a MySQL
table as well as upload files to a directory on the server with one
button click. This might be a solution for you.

Bootstrap + mysql + php: robust solution for an educational dashboard?

Hi. We are just beginning work on a dashboard for educational purposes. We need to show data tables of sts progress, notes etc...
Kind of like the following tables:
http://www.dreambox.com/district-reports
We have downloaded a template based on bootstrap. It is all pretty easy except for the data integration. Before we were using flash datagrids and were also looking at flex components which were very easy to use. The questions are:
1. Can we get the same "power" for our data tables/data grids with bootstrap "ready made" plugin ins.
2. To replicate the datadrid in flash what do we use in bootstrap - ajax datatable or a j query plug in.
3. How do we connect up the mysql + php + datagrid. Would it be very similar to an AS3 + php + mysql solution?
Basically, is bootstrap html5 + CSS a viable robust solution to producing an educational dashboard.
I use the term plugin because I don't think you call them components or widgets.
You must also know that this will be on an enterprise level and there should be around 10,000 active users - not at the same time obviously. We will be hiring a freelancer or part tim staff to implement and maintain but we do need to know which way to go first.
Pretty broad questions maybe, just trying to find my way and study up on what I am supposed to be studying up on. I am on Lynda.com which is OK but I need some guys creating these things to give me advice and point us in the right direction.
Cheers in advance.

Hi - thank you Nancy - I should get really specific now.
I spent quite a few hours investigating and here's the run down.
1. php + mysqli: Pretty easy as it is the same workflow as I use in flash - I was just a bit thrown by the html part and still have a few questions.
I will post the link to the very clean and easy to follow mysql + php implementation on html tables just in case any newbies are following the post.
http://www.sourcecodetuts.com/php/18/how-create-secure-registration-page-phpmysql-part-ii
    mysqli - they seem to use the "improved" mysqli now and this code seems to be very professional with encryption etc...
My question is which is the best method for handling the recordset back from the database.
1. In flash we used to use XML serialized which is easy for flash objects to pick up and then display in the datagrid tables.
2. The example in the next link echos it out in the html table format which sounds very obvious but not sure if it is correct as I have never dome that before.
http://www.sourcecodetuts.com/php/40/creating-and-populating-table-mysql-data-using-twitte r-bootstrap-framework
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    // Print out the contents of the entry
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['firstname'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['lastname'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['email'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['phone'] . '</td>';
3. However I am more used to dealing with an object returned and then dealt with in flash BUT a simple html table couldn't deal with that so - I have just started reading re: ajax or javascript. Are they the best way to handle data returned from a database. As I say this dashboard wil have to be used my many thousands and we will be creating various tables with multiple parameters inputted via dropdown box lists.
My workflow in flash - would it be javascript that would replicate that functionality or do I just echo out in tr and td tags as in above - seems to basic.
Sorry about repeating mysel above and going on and on but I hace finally got there - just missing the last part in the puzzle.
Cheers

CANNOT FIND mmhttpdb.php and mysql.php files

does anyone know where I can download these two files from ? (in order to connect to database)
mmhttpdb.php mysql.php
I deleted them accidentially.

* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\DisabledFeatures
* Mac OS X: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures
If they no longer reside anywhere including your trash/recycle bin, you may need to re-install CC.

Terminal Commands/learn terminal

Hi everyone i was wondering if there is some commands for terminal that won't mess up my computer? I also want to ask if there is an easy or a simple way for beginers with no programming experience to learn terminal well.
thanks

You might try Mac OS X Lion for Dummies, or if you want to get more advanced, UNIX for Dummies.
For experimenting, create a Standard user account that you use only for this. That will protect the system itself and your regular account if you do make a mistake.

Terminal & MySQL Syntax

I am a total newbie in using terminal. I installed MAMP and am trying to find my way around through a php/mysql tutorial.
Issue: I can get my Terminal prompt to show as mysql> but however I try to type in commands (as per the tutorial) I keep getting a new line with and arrow ( -> ).
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

It is waiting for you to finish the command. Until you end the command line, it keeps waiting for you to add more to the command. If it is like other SQL, then end the command with a semi-colon (;)

Loading from MySQL/PHP Question

Hi all
I have used flash for a few years but only as stand alone
movie files which make up brochure websites etc so I have a limited
grasp on Actionscript as it stands. I do however also build sites
using PHP/XHTML which is very easy to achieve dynamicly driven
website, albeit a kind of static non-animated output.
I am now keen to learn/understand how easy/difficult it is to
do the same kind of thing but with Flash to help introduce animated
effects. An example of something I would do typically in PHP would
be to retrieve data from mysql and build a page of portfolio
examples, and this page would retrieve an image, and assciated data
for each portfolio entry and using Cascading Style Sheets I would
style the output for the end user.
Can someone explain if this rrequires a great understanding
of actionscript or is there a good source I can begin to learn
from? The reason why this needs to come from a database instead of
pre build external swf's being loaded is that the data will be
updated by users via content management systems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If one of them is stick to PHP then I will!
Cheers

You already know PHP, so you can set up a PHP file that grabs
the data from mySQL, then converts it to XML file, and flash grabs
that data parses it out with nodeValues, i.e.,
firstChild/lastChild/and so on.

Oracle-PHP or MySQL-PHP?

Hello everyone,
I am a beginner in databases and web development and I want to build a website.
I was thinking of using MySQL with PHP and Apache server but the thing is that I don't know MySQL at all! On the other hand I have worked oracle in the past. I also have not any knowledge of PHP but I am going to learn it now.
1. How much different is the Oracle syntax from MySQL. Is there a big difference, so I should better use Oracle instead of learning MySQL from scratch?
2. Is it difficult to use PHP and Oracle together?
3. I noticed that hundreds of ready made scripts on PHP-MySQL exist on the Internet. Will it be difficult for me to change them to PHP-Oracle, in case I want to use one?? It would be great if you could give me some examples.
4. In general what would you recommend?
Thank you very much in advance!

I have used PHP (ZendCore for Oracle) for some Oracle-based web development. PHP is a capable tool to use... (not by choice, but due to existing systems in place, which btw have been converted to Oracle APEX)
BUT..
I would not choose to use PHP or Perl or Ruby or any other web-based development language or system for Oracle. I would choose APEX (Oracle Application Express) instead.
It is free. It is easy. It is flexible. It is powerful. It is 100% Oracle which means it fits Oracle like a glove, and allows you to leverage all the features of Oracle like scalability, high availability and redundancy.
Most important for someone relatively new to web development and/or Oracle development, it is easy. So easy that a person with 0% Oracle experience and 0% web development experience will be able to put a basic web system together that shows reports, and display forms for inputting of data and so on.
APEX is also shipped as the primary administration and development interface for Oracle XE (Express Edition). Oracle XE is free. Available for both Linux flavours and Windows.
And this is Oracle's answer to LAMP. And it is a heck of an answer. I strongly recommend you have a look at it - http://apex.oracle.com. Download Oracle XE and try it.

Need somone to code web app mysql-php

the static pages are mostly done. was hoping to do the
dynamic stuff myself, but just started learning web apps and we
need it now. want to hire someone with experience doing web apps.
its a professional directory with search results pages that work
like (but dont look like) hamptoninn.com. we want to use sugarcrm
to manage the accounts too. (moderator: sorry if this is not
allowed, dont see it prohibited in terms).

Hello 6fingers,
1. When you say that you successfully migrated the application, how exactly did you do this, did you use the Web Apps migration assistant?
The error message indicates to me that the issue is with the Access database. Even though your website has migrated successfully with the respect to the IIS server configuration.
It is failing to connect to your Access database. Azure websites supports Access databases after converting it to Azure SQL DB.
When you migrate your website, it would have created a database for your Access database under MYSQL Database, I suggest that you check if you have that linked to your web application.
If you do not find any database under the linked resourses for the web application, you can create new azure SQL database.
You can refer to the link below that will give you instructions on 'Migrating Access Databases to SQL Server/Azure SQL DB (AccessToSQL)':
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313051(v=sql.110).aspx

Communication problem MYSQL PHP XML Flash.

I have driven myself into a corner with this so I hope someone here knows a solution.
I am building a photogallery with a simple html layout but with a flash slideshow.
The data for each album and photo are stored in a mysql database. Each photo-image is in one big folder on the server. With PHP I sort out which photo belongs to what album and display them accordingly. To start the slideshow people can click on a link near the album, this link will send a < href> with the album ID to an PHP file (xml.php) that will generated an XML output created from the MYSQL server. Here comes my problem:
Loading XML into flash is no problem BUT I only know how to do this with a static or self supporting XML output. (xml.php needs the input of the album ID else it will not get the correct data). For now I have a temporary solution where I write the XML output from xml.php to a txt file and let Flash read from there, but is there a way where I can read directly from xml.php?

Echo your formatted xml out as a string in xml.php, Flash will then read your dynamically generated XML.

[CLOSED] Weird mysql/php issue.

Hi,
I am running an ArchLinux as my Server. It's a fresh install. I just configured nginx as my Webserver and then configured MySQL. I wanted to use phpMyAdmin as a manager. I installed it via wget and it worked fine. But all of a sudden it would not let me log in anymore. The log in screen just keeps on popping up, without any errors or anything. It tried reinstalling phpMyAdmin, I also tried the alternative chive. In chive I get the error "CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection." I really am at a loss here, has anyone else encountered a similar issue and can point me in the right direction?
Disclaimer: Please excuse my possibly poor english, as it is not my native language, also please excuse any questions that may sound noob-like, because I am quite new to Arch.

config.inc.php should be in
/etc/webapps/phpmyadmin
but the installation symlinks that file to
/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin
where the installation is.
You'll have to add this directive in open_basedir @
/etc/php/:/usr/share/webapps/
Also might need an alias in
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
What I do is symlink
ln -s /usr/share/webapps /srv/http/.webapps
/srv/http being my www directory I can visit mysite.com/.webapps/phpMyAdmin to access.
This can be a security issue, maybe allow only local access or use another mean of accessing the installation.
Also symlinking just the installation directory to a hidden directory precursed with '.' won't float, like mysite.com/.phpmyadmin

Is it possible to load an swf from MySQL /PHP

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I like to call for different SWF files from a link in a MySQL
database to use in a Detailpage with PHP.
Photos and text are no problem.
The AC code is probably complicating things.
Is it possible? And if so how?
Maybe someone can help me out.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jos

Will Apple update Apache / MySQL / PHP on Tiger 10.4.11

Recently, a scan was made on the two xServes that I have, both running 10.4.11 with only the web services set up. They are running the default bare bones setup for Tiger Server 10.4.11.
The scan showed issues with the current install of Apache and PHP. I have been told I need to update the serves to a more secure version of Apache, Mysql, and PHP.
Does anyone know if Apple is going to issue an update for this? Is my only option to patch together a more recent version of Apache, Mysql, and PHP to patch this?
Or is Apple's answer to my dilemma is to just upgrade to Leopard?
Thanks for your comments.

Your choices here fairly limited; there's the upgrade Leopard, loading (for instance) the [MAMP|http://mamp.info] kit or other such kit and shut down the integrated stuff within Mac OS X Server, or rolling your own Apache and related pieces. If these are Intel Xserve boxes, then you could tactfully and officially drag your heels for a couple of months and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
