PHP mysql PDO issue

Hi all,
I just installed LAMP stack following the instructions in Wiki. Looks like PHP 5.3.6 will not load PDO drivers for mysql. phpinfo() shows the following line for PDO:
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers no value
I have extensions mysqli.so, mysql.so and pdo_mysql.so uncommented in the php.ini.
php -m shows only PDO and mysqlnd loaded.
My application works fine on Ubuntu server running PHP 5.3.3.
Did anyone else run into this problem before?
Thanks in advance.

Ok,
I found that copying the php.ini.pacnew over the old one and uncommenting the appropriate extensions it started working. But I stumbled over some strange beahiour with error reporting. When I activate
Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT
This brakes the pdo extensions ... very annoying.

DW8.02 + php + mysql recordet issue

Am absolutely new to PHP and MySql having been using ASP
& MSSql for a
long while.
I have the latest versions of PHP and MySql installed which
would both
appear to be working correctly.
When I go to create a recordset in the usual manner - if I
press test I
can see the correct data, when I click OK to finish I get a
series of
JavaScipt errors "while executing findSeverBehaviours in
recordset.htm"
(line 53??) etc etc cannot find TomLR-PHP-AdvRS.htm
DW puts the code in the page, but the Bindings window remains
empty.
I've cleared the winfilecache - anyone got any other
suggestions??
TIA!!

Sounds like you haven't installed the mysql module.
I'm sure someone who knows much much more about it than me
will be
along in a moment.
However - possibly the easiest way to do it without getting
your hands
dirty is to delete and then reinstall PHP - make sure you do
the
detailed route and look out for the modules section and check
all the
MySql ones (sorry can't remember exactly what they were
called - I've
only done this twice - the first one I bodged up!) -
otherwise it's
trawl through your php.ini file and uncomment all the mysql
components
that you think you may need!

PHP/MySQL presentation

Hi,
I have a presentation infront of two tutors at university, i
have currently designed a website for the university using PHP AND
MySQL. the website is designed using html coding using dreamweaver,
and contains multimedia using flash 8.
The website contains pages showing the university and a
restricted side which only administrators, clerks and students can
access, they have to type in relervent passwords and usernames,
which allows them to check results and updat students information
etc.
The reason for this message is if anyone has any idea on what
sort of questions i could get asked by the tutors about the php,
mysql, validation issues etc, i also used template within
dreamweaver. could they please tell me and let me know what sort of
questions i will get asked and what sort of replies they should be.
p.s if any1 knows how i should perfrom the presentation for
20mins to demenstrate the website to the tutors that will help as
well, thankyou
Thank You

Admittedly though, that's pretty easy too.

PHP/MySQL issue after security update 2010-005

Hello,
I run Apache/PHP/MySQL on my MBP for testing Web sites.
After the 2010-005 security update I can't connect to my databases anymore.
I don't know how to fix this, I even don't know where to start looking.
Ideas, anyone?

etresoft, thanks for sharing this ... I decided to go with the TriangleJuice suggestion instead for two reasons ... first is that I wasn't sure where to find this launchd file.
There is nothing wrong with TriangleJuice's suggestion. My only issue with creating a php.ini file is that now I have to worry about all those other settings in the ini file. If something else in PHP breaks, I have to figure out if I am the one who broke it.
Apple ships MySQL with MacOS X Server. They probably adjusted the PHP settings to match how they have MySQL setup in MacOS X Server.
For MySQL's, no, Sun's - drat! no, Oracle's part, they still haven't acknowledged the fact that Apple has shipped MacOS X 10.4. MySQL still ships with a Startup Item. If you don't know where the launchd file is, it is because you don't have one. You probably have a MySQL entry in /Library/StartupItems or maybe /System/Library/StartupItems. Startup Items were deprecated in 10.4. Oracle should be creating a file named com.mysql.mysqld.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
Here is what mine looks like now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

I also don't have a /var/mysql directory and wasn't sure whether I should just create one or if this meant my configuration was different. If you feel like explaining any of this, I'd be curious to know.
You have to create one. Such a directory probably already exists on MacOS X Server. Just make sure it is owned by mysql.
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo chown _mysql:staff /var/mysql
sudo chmod 0755 /var/mysql
[jdaniel@Pele:516] /var $ ls -al /private/var | grep mysql
drwxr-xr-x 3 _mysql staff 102 Aug 26 20:03 mysql
Of course, /var is a symbolic link to /private/var. Long story there.

PHP/Mysql issue

I use Dreamweaver CS3 to create my sites on a Windows/Apache
Server with PHP5 and Mysql 5. The site works perfectly on my
testing server at home. On the Web server I'm getting the following
error which causes the page to not load:
PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 63
PHP Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a
valid MySQL-Link resource in
/hermes/bosweb/web248/b2488/ipw.horsehelp/public_html/residents/residents.php
on line 61
The lines in question are:
Line 61 - mysql_select_db($database_conn_phh, $conn_phh);
$query_getSuccess = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status =
'Success Story' ORDER BY horse_barn ASC";
$getSuccess = mysql_query($query_getSuccess, $conn_phh) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_getSuccess = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSuccess);
$totalRows_getSuccess = mysql_num_rows($getSuccess);
All of the code is supplied by Dreamweaver. I did not tweak
the code. I'm not a web developer and what I have found out there
is still reading greek to me. My connection file is working and
connecting the database that I have tested.
Since the above code is throughout the site in one form or
another it's causing me major headaches. Any help would be
appreciated.

This is the first time I've used Adobe products so if the
following is in the wrong forum (It's the closest one I found so
far) or the format is incorrect please forgive me.
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS3 and as I was reading the "first
steps" it mentions to set up a Dreamweaver site right away. I got
as far as completing "Site Definition" page under the basic side of
the setup screen.
The next screen is "Do you want to work with server
Technology?"
There are 2 options - Yes or No. If you select yes a
drop-down menu appears with several options (but you can only
select one)...
Asp Javascript
Asp VbScript
Asp.net#
Asp.net Vb
Cold Fusion
JSP
Php MySql.
I know nothing about these format and brand new to web design
so I thought it best to contact GoDaddy (my hosting account) to
find out what their servers would support. I spoke to a tech rep
but she wasn't sure.
She did mention that I have a windows hosting account and Php
MySql would not work unless I changed to their Linux platform at no
additional charge.
The site I have in mind will design with CSS, Liquid layout,
have some flash, widgets, an inquiry form that clients complete and
results e-mailed to me, auto-responder, Paypal link and whatever
else I can discover from Dreamweaver.
My question being:
I haven't even begun designing my site because I do not know
what weather I should select the Yes option and select one of the
formats mentioned above (if so which one) - or select the No
option. If I do select the No option at the very beginning, will I
have problems with my site uploading and working correctly?
Thank you

Where to go next with Dreamweaver and server-side (php/mysql) applications?

This question is mainly directed at David Powers but I appreciate any input from anyone with the same concern or question.
I've been using DW since the change from Macromedia and have developed a number of applications using built in server behaviors and sb extensions from ADDT, WebAssist, etc. I've learned to customize these behaviors to fit my needs always keeping within the "canned" code. In this way I've "learned" php.
I own most of David's books and in fact, it was because of these that I have any idea about what I'm doing and went in this direction in my "developer" career (building php/mysql applications using Dreamweaver.)
With the decision to remove server behaviors (and the other "developer" panels) from DW and with the deprecation of the mysql extension from the php landscape, I'm wondering where to go next? I fully understand this has to happen.
I'm aware of some alternatives:
Zend or some other framework - to me, this seems extremely complex
Keep several versions of DW installed
Stick to Joomla/WordPress/Drupal - let others who know what they're doing build the architecture
Actually LEARN php - wish I had time; too much work to do (I know how illogical that sounds but it's a very real situation)
I know I'm going to have to switch out all that deprecated code or better yet, rebuild the many applications which used the DW (and other) server behaviors. I'm just not sure which way to turn.

rjjacob wrote:
Since I wrote this post I concluded that there is no substitute for understanding and have started my re-education by delving further into the issue with updated PHP/MySQL books and tutorials so I can prepare for a Dreamweaver without this functionality.
Yes, I too have concluded that is the way to go as well. There really is no substitute for learning as much as you can. Whilst the DW Server Behaviours were very convenient they have not kept pace, Adobe prefering to spent their time on less important updates in my opinion. The Server Behaviours are what makes Dreamweaver the tool of choice for database integration for those who lack the knowledge. I feel the Adobe team will regret not coming up with an alternative. Anything that detracts from making the program what it is is a step in the wrong direction and for sure this is a big step in the wrong direction.
rjjacob wrote:
I have mainly used DW server behaviors in my development projects that's why I am curious about what others are doing to make the change. I'm surprised there haven't been more posts; perhaps I'm the last one to be taking action about this, or maybe no one is too worried about it yet.
I think a lot have changed their working practice but many more are burying their heads in the sand. sql_ support is a way off from being completely dropped yet.
rjjacob wrote:
Anyway, your assessment of how terrible the server behaviors are is correct. I'm finding that true after barely breaking the binding on a few books about the greater subject and looking into mysqli and PDO.
Yes, because I relied heavily on them I did not know how bad they were until I forced myself to look further afield. What you can do in a couple of lines of code the DW Server Behaviors produced quadruple or more to achieve the same.
rjjacob wrote:
But they sure were convenient!
Yes, I agree. Maybe some extention developer will come up with a set of new improved behaviours. I tell you if they do they will make a shed load of money.

PHP MySQL Error Code 500

May be someone can help me out with this problem.
I have setup a new site using PHP MySQL and Dreamweaver 8.02.
Dreamweaver connects to the database but after creating a
recordset the recordset cannot be used.
instead Dreamweaver returns:
HTTP Error Code 500 internal Server Error
Any help will be much appriciated.
Jos

Hello,
I have also had the same error - namely that whilst I could connect via ftp, upload/download files, and view database tables, any attempt to view of modify recordsets resulted in error 500.
Having checked other potential causes (e.g. selection/non-selection use of passive FTP setting, enabling of php, etc.), on the back of posts here I contacted my host and asked if if could relate to mod security, as further investigation revealed that the issue only occurred on sites where mod security had not been disabled (I don't like to disable mod security for obvious reasons - and I'm told you can't do that site by site with apache2 anyway).
After a few false starts, the problem was resolved - with the following response from my host: "The false positives were being generated by "/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php" and that is what we've worked around in the rules. As such, any domain on [servername] using that script in the same way shouldn't generate a false-positive moving forward."
So it seems the answer (assuming your on an apache server of course) may be to modify the rules to allow full access for MMHTTPDB.php.
I hope that is of help to some.

Apache2, PHP, MySQL Help

Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie thing todo but I am not too good with solaris configuration yet.
Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...
Thanks Rob

Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy
tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...Setting up Apache is very easy since all it takes is setting it up. Its installed by default, you can check /etc/apache for an example configuration file. Next to that www.apache.org/docs/ is also a very valuable read.
<blunt SPAM>
You could also consider looking into the Java webserver (formely SunONE). Its currently being made available for free with the Java Enterprise System and compares very well to Apache. If you'll also be doing some Java it would be a better choice (IMO its a better choice than Tomcat) and it can also do PHP.

</SPAM>
As you'll note I included the PHP website because with the above setup you'd also need to manually setup PHP. If you have the companion CD present you can install the PHP module which will end up on /opt/sfw/apache. This directory will also present you a php.ini example which will need to be placed in /etc/apache as well. Setting it up is basicly following the documentation in the ini file, and the Apache documentation on adding an extra module (/opt/sfw/apache/libexec/libphp4.so).
MySQL. Also very easy since its shipped with Solaris as well. Look into /etc/sfw/mysql for a README which covers the most essential steps to set it up. In short you'll need to setup a few directories for MySQL to work and optionally (but recommended) copy the default config file to /etc (/etc/my.cnf) which will define certain basic settings. The readme explains. Next you're likely to need the MySQL guide (if you're new with MySQL) which can be located at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html.
This applies to the version (close enough anyway) which is shipped with Solaris. From personal experience I can say that MySQL 5 will also run very well on Solaris 10.
Finally the PHPMyadmin... That really is an RTFM issue, once you have your environment setup (Apache and the likes) its likely you only need to copy it to your document root and point your browser to it.
Hopes this helps somewhat.

PhP/MySQL Horizontal/Vertical Repeat Region

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty sure this question would have been asked many times before. If so, first of all my apologies for re-posting this.
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is create a repeat region that spans for 4 columns and then repeats the rest in rows. For example, if I have 100 records in my table (MySQL), then I want to display this in a table of 4 columns and and 25 rows (in reality, the number of records would be unspecified, of course, but still the records need to be displayed on a 4 column, X row table). For example:
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
name
comment
At the moment, I have no issue with displaying the records either horizontally or vertically (explicitly) using the built in "repeat region" behavior. However, where I'm having the problem is with displaying the records in a table as the one I described above.
I'm using DW CS5 with PhP/MySQL.
Can I still do this using the built in "repeat region" server behavior, if so how?
Otherwise, how else could I achieve this (ideally without using any extensions)?
Thanks in advance for any help and support,
Cheers

I'm believe you should be able to modify the repeat region code to do what you want it to do. With that said we will need 2 things:
1. To see the code from the page.
2. To know the order of the results is it:
Horizontal: 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
Or Vertical:
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

Php mysql math error when using format(somenumber,2)

osx 10.5.2, php 5.2.5, mysql 5.0.51 (standard leopard desktop os install)
Select format(myField,2) as someNumber from myTable ...
returns data i would expect, formatted as you would expect.
while looping through the data returned i am calculating a running total.
for numeric values less than 1,000 results are expected. for numbers gt 1000, php seems to want to truncate the value at the comma. 1,111.11 evaluates to 1; 25,000 evaluates to 25.
If you remove the format() from the sql statement everything works the way you would expect.
wrapping the value returned in a floatval() had no effect.
I am posting this on the apple site rather than php/mysql forums on the off chance that this is a mac centric issue. googling the obvious combinations wasn't productive.

Sounds like a locale issue.
Many international formats use comma as the decimal separator, not the thousands.
There are many levels where this could be set. It could be an OS setting (you don't say where you or, or the locale information of your machine (System Preferences -> International -> Format). It could be in PHP (see: http://www.php.net/setlocale ), or it could be in the database (data could be written in a comma-based table).
It will take a little research to work out where your specific problem lies.

PHP/MySQL incommunicado since upgrading OS X Server 10.4.2 - 10.4.3

Back when 10.4 first came out and I foolishly upgraded my server right away, I spent hours trying to reconfigure PHP because Apple had monkeyed with with the configuration (since 10.3) and shipped it such that PHP/MySQL wouldn't speak out of the box. I think the trouble had something to do with the location that PHP looks for MySQL, but low level config of these services isn't really my area of expertise. Eventually I got it fixed, but it was a nightmare trying to figure out what was wrong.
Sooo....performed the update to 10.4.3 this morning....and now if I try to bring up a php page in a web browser:
Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.1.250' (61)...
And that's as far as it gets. Anyone have any ideas? I would speculate that Apple may have finally addressed the issue that was preventing PHP/MySQL from working out-of-box in 10.4, but, in doing so, my workaround for that problem has now become a problem itself.
Any advice or help would be of greatly appreciated!

Php mysql integration with workgroup manager

Hello,
I run a non-profit arts organization. We have active and inactive members that are tracked with a php mysql web app that I wrote. I was wondering how I could query the workgroup manager from php to make the inactive members not be able to login to our computers. Also, it would be great if we could just add new members into the php web app and then send that new member's info to the workgroup manager.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Alex

Yes, I have an OS X 10.4.3 server - which is also integrated in the AD. If i log on locally on the server with an account from the AD, then the workgroup manager works perfectly.
Guess my main problem is that i don't know where in the process things goes wrong.
- Is it on the client, that it is not able to sent the right requests
- Is it on the OS X Server, where something is misconfigured
- Is it security settings in the AD that prevents the server and client from getting the right information
I have the possibility on both the server and client to do ldap requests through the address book - this tells me that i do have some sort of connection. And that is also verified by actually being able to login with AD accounts.
Is there any logs i should pay special attention to? All the logs i can see through server admin doesn't contain usefull information. The logs on the client located in /var/log only tells me about some minor issues with mcxd (something about the uid being 1325883267 - which confuses me a bit - i thought uid's on unix was between 1 and 65535 :/ )

PHP MySQL sites created by dreamweaver mx 2004 crash on safari

Hello,
The title says it all, but i will elaborate.
I develop PHP, MySQl driven database websites, I use
Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I work on a macintosh, using both safari
version 2 and 3.
i have noticed that whenever I post a database item (add,
edit to table) my safari hangs and I get a page cannot be displayed
error after 1 minute or so, even though the db function went
through.
Now, this only happens with safari and it only happens with
pages I build with dreamweaver, any hand coded websites I build do
not do this.
i have posted this on the apple website with no response, I
am hoping someone here can help me.

PHP+MySQL query with empty value

Hi!
Software is DW8 with Apache 2.0.48, MySQL ver. 4.0.15a, PHP
4.2.3.
We had problem when a submitted value for 'regionID' in the
submit page
was left blank and the following error message appears in the
result page:
"You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near
'LIMIT 0,
3' at line 1"
The problem was solved by adding at the top of the page:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['regionID']) &&
empty($_POST['regionID'])) {
$_POST['regionID'] = '0';
?>
How to change the above code to retrieve ALL records when an
empty \
blank value is submitted for 'regionID'?
TIA

I'm afraid you've picked up rather poor information.
$_REQUEST relies on
register_globals being turned on. Since register_globals is
considered a
major security risk, the default setting has been off since
April 2002.
Many hosting companies have turned register_globals on, in
spite of the
security problems, because so many poorly written scripts
rely on it.
The PHP development team has decided to resolve this security
issue once
and for all by removing register_globals from PHP 6.
Forget $_REQUEST. Use $_POST and $_GET always. It's safer,
and it's
futureproof.
