PHP - Adding If Else To Pdo Connect To Better Manage Errors

hi all

First of all

My client have dot net server on windows OS. They want to display some pages which are created by php. Is there any possibility to display like this.

And

How can i connect sql server using php on remote to retrieve data.

Can any one tell me how can i do this.

Thanks in advance

I have a simple form and I run my script without any errors. I click my btn and I would like to see my echo errors but no errors show up when I have no value in textboxes. I have tried if(isset($_Post["submit"])) and if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "post") What I think is nether of there ifs are becoming valid on my btn click.

<?php
$nameerror = $twoerror = $errormsg = "";
// PHP Procedural MYSQLi
// connect to mysql database with phpmyadmin
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "test";

$connection = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
//if(isset($_Post["submit"]))
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "post")
{
    if(empty(trim($_Post["name"]))) {
        $nameerror = "Name is required";
    }
    else {
        $namesafe = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_Post["name"]);
    }
    if(empty(trim($_Post["two"]))) {
        $twoerror = "Two is required";
    }
    else {
        $twosafe = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_Post["two"]);
    }

    if($namesafe != "" && $twosafe != "") {
        $sqlInsert = "INSERT INTO tester(name, two) " .
          "VALUES('". $namesafe ."','". $twosafe ."')";

          if(mysqli_query($connection, $sqlInsert)) {
              echo "Successfully entered.";
          } else {
              echo "NOT successful error: " . $sqlInsert . "<br>" . mysqli_error($connection);
          }
    } 
}
mysqli_close($connection);
?>
<?php

      if(!$connection) {
        die("Connection Failed! " . mysqli_connect_error());

Hello there,
I'm using a Mac (10.5. and installed MAMP for PHP and MYSQL
I trying to build a blog. I just setup a database in phpmyadmin.

I created a php and start coding, everything works just fine, but when
I tried to connect to the mysql it gives me a blank page

I inserted this code
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();

    $connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root', 'root'); or die(mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db('blog',$connect);
$session_name = $_SESSION['uid'];


?>
but then the whole page turns to be blank page , but when I excluded this, it works just fine. I don't get it cause my database/phpmyadmin connected just fine.

Any help is much appreciated. Been trying to figure this out for hours.

hello, if i have an entry in a table called company on database cc, would the following be the propper code?  im getting a blank page.

Code: [Select]
<?php

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'mike';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die                      ('Error connecting to 

mysql');

$dbname = 'cc';
mysql_select_db($dbname);



$query  = "SELECT * FROM company";
$result = mysql_query($query);


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    echo "Name :{$row['compant']} <br>" .
         "Subject : {$row['address']} <br>" . 

} 


?>

I'm trying to connect to two databases and I'm having problems with the following code.  I googled to come up with this but can't figure out the errors I'm getting.
Code: [Select]
$connection="localhost";
$username="user";
$password="password";
$database1="dbone";
$database2="dbtwo";

$db1 = mysql_connect($connection,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
$sel1 = mysql_select_db($database1, $db1);

$query1 = "SELECT * FROM TBLUSERS";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1, $db1);
while($nt1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1, $db1))
{

}

$db2 = mysql_connect($connection,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
$sel2 = mysql_select_db($database2, $db2);
$query2 = "SELECT * FROM TBLPD20101101";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2, $db2) or die(mysql_error());
while($nt2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2, $db2))
{

}
The error I get is
Quote

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 2 to be long, resource given in C:\xampp\htdocs\HighVisibility\DashBoard2.php on line 13

Hey,

I've had this problem for a couple days now, and haven't been able to work it out.

I'm trying to connect to the Gamesurge IRC using PHP - though the code I am using times out and can't connect.

I thought it was my code, however I have searched the web for working codes and they all *seem* to do the same basic thing as mine.

So if anyone has any ideas as to why I am getting a timeout, I would appreciate it.

The code I'm using.

<?php
 
error_reporting(E_ERROR);
 
$cfg = array(
        "server" => "irc.gamesurge.net",
        "channel" => "#wiremod",
        "port" => 6667,
        "name" => "thetree PHP"
);
 
echo "Connecting to " . $cfg["server"] . " on port " . $cfg["port"] . "<br/>";
$socket = fsockopen($cfg["server"], $cfg["port"], $errno, $errstr, 5);
 
if (!$socket) {
        echo("Error[$errno]: $errstr...<br/>");
}
else {
        echo "Socket connection successful..<br/>";
}
 
fclose($socket);
 
?>

Hello all,
This is my first post in here, so go easy.
I recently transferred my account from my local ISP to GoDaddy. And now my search criteria is not working. I am getting the follow error message on the page of my search box, instead of the graphics itself:
Could not connect to MySQL:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I thought maybe this would be a simple error when I found out that GoDaddy does not use the "localhost" connect string. So I switched it to the local IP for GoDaddy still to no avail. I am lost after that. My PHP skills are limited. I was taught by a very advanced user who uses shortcuts and different strings self made for his ease. So looking online for solutions for the script was very hard(to me at least), because the lines of code do not match common scripts online.

Is this a simple solution?
Does the:

global $dbc;
@dbConnect();

function work with GoDaddy? Because I have seen maybe different ways to connect to a DB with PHP.
Here's the script I am using to connect and extract results from the DB. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to add Facebook connect to my new app, but I'm not sure where to really start.  I looked through a lot of the facebook documentation, but I haven't been able to find any really good implementation suggestions.  I just want basic functionality.

Hi People.

Thanks to everyone that helped me yesterday with my file that finally connected to the database.

However, I have added a new field to my DB and now get further problems. 

Here is the error message I am getting after I added the "ppr" stuff to both files.

Please could someone look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong.

Then the code from config01.php
Code: [Select]

I only added the one thing and I've gone and broken it already.  It was working last night too.. :-(

for some reason my database will not connect, here's the code:
Code: [Select]

<?php
require("mstr_ref2.php");

function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#38;#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}

// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';

// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}

// End XML file
echo '</markers>';

?>

I think there is something wrong with this line of code. Where it says 'locat host' im not too sure about that because im not connecting to a local host, so what can i put in there instead?i think that is the problem.
Code: [Select]
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);

This is the error I get:
Code: [Select]
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'a2221438'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/a2221438/public_html/map.php on line 44

Hi,

I have a script which uses a connect file but I am struggling to get files in other folders to read and for the "$loggedIn = checkLogin();" code to work.

If I connect to the database within the same script it works straight away.

If I change my password then I have to change every file but otherwise I cannot include the connect file as I have to link to it locally.

So if the connect file is in:

www.domain.co.uk/php/login/connect.php

then

www.domain.co.uk/php/login/index.php -- this works

www.domain.co.uk/php/logout.php -- this doesn't regardless of how I link to the connect file.

Ok this code doesn't look wrong but i cant figure out whats going on?
Code: (connect.php) [Select]
<?php
//connect.php
$server = 'localhost';
$username = 'admin';
$password = 'pass';
$database = 'gms';
 
if(!mysql_connect($server, $username,  $password))
{
  exit('Error: could not establish database connection');
}
if(!mysql_select_db($database)
{
  exit('Error: could not select the database');
}
?>


ERROR
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/adee67/public_html/forum/connect.php on line 13

I am using WAMP server for my PHP Server and am trying to connect to an Access Database with the extension of accdb, but I keep getting the error "could not find driver". Here is the code I'm trying to run:   $dbName = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/Ridley/RLCompRepair.accdb"; if (!file_exists($dbName)) {      die("Could not find database file."); } try {      $db = new PDO("odbc:Driver={MS Access Database (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=$dbName"); } catch (PDOException $e) {      echo "Error: ".$e->getMessage(); }   I have enabled the php_pdo_odbc extension, so I'm pretty sure this is not the problem. Could someone please let me know what is wrong?   Chris
