PHP MySQL database

How to send a number count to the PHP MySQL database everytime a details page is opened from the results page?

Assuming your DB table named 'stats' has fields for article_id, hits and the article id is passed to the detail page through the URL parameter article_id then your query would look like this:
mysql_select_db($database_XXXXXX, $XXXXXX);
if (isset($_GET['article_id'])) {
$article_id = $_GET['article_id'];
$query_hits = sprintf("UPDATE stats
SET hits = hits+1
WHERE article_id = %s", GetSQLValueString($article_id, "int"));
$hits = mysql_query($query_hits, $XXXXXX) or die(mysql_error());

Php/MySQL database insert record issue...

I have a php page that adds an "order" to a mysql database table (orders). One text field in the form is for tires/wheels. The description of the wheels often includes the " symbol for inches after a number....Everything submits fine, however when I look at the page that displays the orders all the data after the " symbol including the " symbol is gone... DOes anyone have any idea why this may be happening? It is requiring us to return and edit that area repeatedly. Any help is appreciated greatly. Thanks for your time.

Ok, so just to summarize so I am understanding this correctly. You have an ordering page for tires/wheels. A customer places an order for tires/wheels and the data is submitted successfully and this includes a symbol for measurement (in.). But on another summary page the symbol is returning a blank value.
If this is correct we need to see:
- First, the code that is inserting the symbol to the database table in question
- Second, the query and code where you are printing the data to the screen.

Hold carriage returns in PHP MySQL database?

I'm creating a limited news database for a not-for-profit
site and I want to let admin users write a long entry which may
include multiple paragraphs (i.e. carriage returns) and even bold
text for subheadings would be nice. I haven't been able to find out
the proper code and DB settings to allow users to do this.
Anyone have a simple solution?

The way I handle text formatting with dynamic data is to
carefully construct
your DB with formatting in mind
Create separate fields for headlines and copy. When you call
the data to
your web page surround the heading with the desired tag. Of
course you will
not always have a heading, so, to eliminate empty spaces add
a conditional
statement to ignore the field if it is null.
like this:
database:
news_id
news_headline1
news_copy1
news_headline2
news_copy2
web page:
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_headline1']) > 0)
{?>
<h3><?php echo $row_getNews['news_headline1'];
?></h3>
<?php }?>
<p><?php echo $row_getNews['news_copy1'];
?></p>
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_headline2']) > 0)
{?>
<h3><?php echo $row_getNews['news_headline2];
?></h3>
<?php }?>
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_copy2']) > 0)
{?>
<p><?php echo $row_getNews['news_copy2'];
?></p>
<?php }?>

PHP/MySQL field recognize carriage returns?

I'm a novice PHP/MySQL database driven site builder. I need
to have users enter text into a field with carriage returns and
have the database recognize and store those carriage returns so it
displays when the data is displayed on a PHP page.
How do I do this and please keep it simple?
Do I need to use a particular type of MySQL datafield?
Will I be able to use the same code on an "update"
page?

if you just need to replace the \n - type line breaks
generated by multiline textareas with <br /> on a page, just
use PHP´s native "nl2br"
(new line to break) function:
<?php echo nl2br($row_queryname['field_name']); ?>
That works... sort of...
When I use the update page to modify the entry it puts the
proper "br" code in it's proper place. However when I return to
that page to edit the text again (as my customer likely will), it
displays the "br" code in the text field, and if I submit the
update with the "br" code in place, it duplicates the "br" code
again, so I get double "br" statements. How do I get the update
field to read the "br" code back as carriage returns?
In addition, my insert page uses the following code to write
the original entry, and I'm not sure where to place the "nl2br"
statement in the following query (generated by WebAsssist DW
extensions):

Any problem with a single MySQL database used on more than one site?

I have a set of multiple sites hosted separately I'm working on. I'd like to set up a PHP/MySQL database on one site, and be able to pull data from it for completely separate sites. Seems like it shouldn't be a problem. Are there any problems with doing this I need to be aware of?

I've set up databases on three different hosts, and in all cases I could access the databases from outside the domain of the site itslef. GoDaddy is one of them, they used to restrict it, but now they give you the option when setting up a new database on your account.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

Submitting Pdf form fields to a MySQL database via PhP

Hi there,
I have recently created a Pdf in Adobe LiveCycle which looks great, and I have added a submit button which is set up to send all the form data in HTML to a PhP file on the server side. The PhP file then collects the form data and inserts it into my MySQL database.
When I run this form from Adobe reader or Professional it works great and the new record is inserted in the database. However I am trying to embed the form into a HTML page, which again looks fine, and all other buttons i.e. Save As, Print work fine.
The submit button however is not working properly now. It inserts a new record into my database, but the fields are blank as if the form data has not been sent or received?
Can you possibly advise me where i'm going wrong.
Much appreciated
Cane

Hi Cane,
I'm relatively new to creating Adobe Forms but I'm looking to do exactly what you have set up, submitting the results to php which sends the results to a database. I don't like the responses being sent to a pdf response file then every so often you have to export to csv then import the results into a database....too tedious. Can you perhaps provide the code that goes behind the submit button and maybe the code that you use on the php/server side? Again, relatively new to this and don't know where to begin but if I can look at the code behind this it would make things a lot easier.
Thanks,
Ed

PHP/MySQL Relational Database

Hi,
I am fairly new to php/MySQL. I am stuck on how to make a cross linking database.
I have two tables "users" and "comments" and would like to set up a page that a logged in user can see and edit the comments they have made.
So far I have tried to make an advanced recordset but all i have managed to do is display all of the records that share a user_id.
I am using dreamweaver CS5.5 and PHP and MySQL.
Thanks in advance for your help
Eddie

That should just be a basic query to SELECT * FROM {comment-tbl} WHERE userid = $_SESSION['user'].
Are you using Sessions or Cookies at this point or are you just trying to write this into a query without them?

Php/mysql: can't write to mysql database [SOLVED]

I'm writing a login script using php and mysql. I got it to work on my server about a week ago, and then I set up apache, php and mysql on my netbook so that I could take my code with me and test it. Now it doesn't work. My registration script doesn't write to the mysql database but has no errors. Here is register.php:
<?php
define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "swordfish");
define("DB_NAME", "users");
define("TBL_USERS", "users");
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
function addUser($username, $password)
global $connection;
$password = md5($password);
echo("adding $username,$password<br />");
$q = "INSERT INTO " . TBL_USERS . " VALUES ('$username', '$password')";
echo("query: $q<br />");
$result = mysql_query($q, $connection);
echo("$result<br />");
if (isset($_POST["reg"]))
addUser($_POST["username"], $_POST["password"]);
echo("<a href='index.php'>click here to login</a>");
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="Post" name="login">
<input type="text", name="username" /> Username<br />
<input type="text", name="password" /> Password<br />
<input type="submit" name="reg", value="Register" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
and here is the output (without the form):
adding lexion,6f1ed002ab5595859014ebf0951522d9
query: INSERT INTO users VALUES ('lexion', '6f1ed002ab5595859014ebf0951522d9')
Also, I tried manually adding the content to the database:
$ mysql -p -u root
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9
Server version 5.1.42 Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> users
-> INSERT INTO users VALUES('lexion', 'foo')
-> ^D
-> Bye
I would assume that I got something wrong with the last bit, but the php script seems like it should work. Does anybody know why it doesn't?

What is wrong with your PHP? Why do you think it is failing? An INSERT query doesn't return anything. Also, it's a good idea to specify which fields you are inserting into, unless you want to have to provide something for every field (tedious for tables with many fields with default values). eg:
$q = "INSERT INTO `" . TBL_USERS . "`(`username`, `password`) VALUES ('$username', '$password')";
As for your experiment with the mysql prompt; queries have to end with a semicolon. PHP is nice and hides that little detail from you.
edit: Also, you're echoing text out before the HTML starts. That won't produce valid HTML. I also noticed a few other things which I corrected; look at my comments:
<?php
define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "swordfish");
define("DB_NAME", "users");
define("TBL_USERS", "users");
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
function addUser($username, $password)
global $connection;
$password = md5($password);
// echo("adding $username,$password<br />"); - Don't echo stuff before HTML starts.
// Also, clean up user-supplied data before plugging it into a query unless you want to be vulnerable to SQL injection.
$cleanusername = mysql_real_escape_string($username, $connection);
$cleanpassword = mysql_real_escape_string($password, $connection); // Obviously you'd generally use some hashing algorithm like md5 or sha1 for passwords
$q = "INSERT INTO `" . TBL_USERS . "`(`username`, `password`) VALUES ('{$cleanusername}', '{$cleanpassword}')"; // The backticks tell MySQL not to interpret any text within as a keyword (good for field names, eg a field called `date`. The curly brackets tell PHP that the stuff within refers to a variable; it's nice as PHP knows exactly what the variable name is with no possible ambiguity.
// echo("query: $q<br />");
$result = mysql_query($q, $connection);
// echo("$result<br />"); - This won't do anything; in addition to INSERT queries not returning anything, the $result variable doesn't contain the results of the query, it's a pointer to them for use with mysql_result().
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["reg"]))
addUser($_POST["username"], $_POST["password"]);
echo("<a href='index.php'>click here to login</a>");
?>
<form method="Post" name="login">
<input type="text" name="username" /> Username<br />
<input type="text" name="password" /> Password<br />
<input type="submit" name="reg" value="Register" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
mysql_close($connection); // Not strictly needed, as PHP will tidy up for you if you forget.
?>

PHP Connection to a MySQL database "An unidentified err has occurred"

This is driving me up the wall.... With my hosting provider
at work I cannot make a connection to a MySQL database with
dreamweaver using the new connection in the databases tab. "an
unidentified error has occurred"
I am certain that I am entering the info correctly and have
the correct permissions to access the database, I think it has to
do with the _mmServerScripts folder and the testing server.
With the hosting provider that I use for personal websites I
make connections all day long doing the exact same thing that I am
doing here at work and I'm stumped. I even read a lenghty article
on this forum with possible solutions... none of them worked.
Is there any way around the _mmServerScripts directory and
testing server to make a connection and then use the bindings and
server behaviors tabs to creat recordsets, etc??
Thanks in advance for any help!

Not if you want to use Dreamweaver server behaviors, no. The
usual
meaning of "an unidentified error has occurred" is failure to
connect
because communication is blocked by a firewall.

Access MySQL Database on Server with PHP Services

Hi there
There are lots of tutorials on how to connect to a MySQL database on your local machine but I'd like to access a database on my server.
When creating a new Flex Project the wizard asks me to define a Web root and a Root URL. I used '/home/ecoflexer/public_html' as Web root and 'http://ecoflexer.com' as Root URL. However, the Web root coudn't be validated. So I've chosen the local folder 'C:\ecoflexer' as Web root. Though it was possibly wrong Flash Builder generated a debug folder at the defined location. After that I went to "Connect to Data/Service" and selected "PHP Service". I tried to generate a sample using the same credentials I use for a standard PHP login script ("Server Port" was left empty). After clicking on "Connect to Database" Zend was installed and returned an error. 'gateway.php' couldn't be found on 'http://ecoflexer.com/testProject-debug/gateway.php'.
So I went into my local Web root and copied the 'testProject-debug' folder to my server to the destination the previous error mentioned. Then another error occured concerning a Zend file. So I went back and copied the whole 'ZendFramework' folder as well to my server. It connects now successfully to my database. I can chose a table but soon after that the introspection of the service fails. I modified the 'amf_config.ini' by adding 'webroot =/home/ecoflexer/public_html' and 'zend_path =/home/ecoflexer/public_html/ZendFramework/library' but it's still not working. Anithing I've done wrong or forgot to do?
Cheers!

iam doing client server application,the database is on the server,and iam doing the log in part,so i need to access the database to match the entered user name and password?so i should implement the accessing database part on the server side with the above code,right?i didn't test that i will test it now,but i thought that it's a different way

MySql database and php code on different servers

I created a table on a MySql database on server A. Now I'm
trying to create
a page to display the contents of the table. I know that the
html code ( and
php) is on a different server (server B). I managed to create
a database
connection however when I try this connection I cannot see
the table I
created. When I click on the Connection name I get the Stored
Procedures,
Tables and View list. I click on the Tables and although I
get a connection
to the server A, no table is displayed.
Am I trying to do something silly here?
any help will be appreciated.
Twanny

> Am I trying to do something silly here?
I do it this way all the time. My testing server is local to
my development
LAN, but the MySQL server and database is remote (on the
remote site). To
make this work, you would have to make sure that the remote
server permits
an external connection. If it does, you should be golden.

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

If DW 2014.1 cc does not support database, binding, server behavior, and PHP/MySQL require it, but using Adobe Extensions Mngr IS NOT recommended, then WHAT TOOLS do we use to develop a database with DW?

I'm using windows DW 2014.1 cc. I'm following lynda.com tutorials to build a website database with PHP and MySQL. I learned I have to download Adobe Extension Mngr to active DATABASE, BINDING, SERVER BEHAVIOR panels, which I've done. BUT NOW I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO USE THESE TOOLS for new development. If this is the truly the case, then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?

then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?
Besides the tools you would already need for a system using server behaviors (web server, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) the only extra tool you need is your own brain.
A lot of people are disappointed by the lack of database tools in DW now, but really it's much better this way. You can never achieve better than a rinky-dink dynamic website using server behaviors. The code Dreamweaver dynamic behaviors create is really terrible. (I'm not insulting the fine folks who wrote the feature. It's just a consequence of automated code.) You can write better, simpler, more maintainable code yourself, and over time you will improve. With server behaviors you cannot improve. you get stuck in database kindergarten.
