PHP - Comparing Whether Files Are Identical
When a file is uploaded, I wish to determine whether an existing identical file (regardless of what it is named or what extension it has) already exists and if so don't save the newly uploaded file but just point it to the existing one. My primary reason for doing so is not really to save hard drive space but to be able to manage duplicate documents. One option is to store a hash of the documents in the DB and when a new document is uploaded, query the DB to see if an identical hash exists. How certain can one be that two hashes will never be duplicated? Another option is to compare the byte stream. For this, I would first query the DB to see if a file with same size and media type exists, and then compare the document to all existing files which have that same criteria. Or many some other approach? Recommendations? Thanks

Similar TutorialsI wrote a piece of code that lists images that don't have a match in the database: Code: [Select] $dir_path = '../images/productImages'; $images = scandir($dir_path); $query = "SELECT image FROM Database_table ORDER BY name DESC"; $results = mysql_query($query); $output = "<h1>Missing Images</h1>"; $output .= "<div class=\"missingImages\">"; $output .= "<p>The following data was found in the Database_table.images field but not in /images/productImages:</p>"; $output .= "<div class=\"missingImg\">"; $output .= "<p class=\"fieldName\">Database_table.images:</p>"; while ($fetch = mysql_fetch_array($results)) { $clean_fetch = str_replace("productImages/", "", $fetch); $diff = array_diff($clean_fetch, $images); foreach (array_unique($diff) as $key => $value) { $output .= $value . "<br />"; } } $output .= "</div>"; $output .= "</div>"; echo $output; Works. Now I would like to check whether there are any files in the folder that are not in the database table. I thought it would be as easy as swapping the array_diff parameters around but it's not. When i swap the parameters like so - array_diff($images, $clean_fetch) it gives me a list of ALMOST all the images in the image folder, which i don't understand. Why does it not give me only the images that are present in the folder but not in the database? Ok, so I have grabbed a free template and attempted to put a dynamic table into one of the div's. I've got it to work on on my index.php, but I copied and pasted the entire code into member2.php and only changed the query and altered the table just a little bit For some reason though my table doesn't show up on the member2.php even though 90% of the code is the same. Here are the pages and codes... http://www.royalfamilyhosting.com/test/index.php <div id="layoutBodyContent"> <h1>Aces Guild Donations Page </h1> <h2>Are you on top of your game?

The php code on member2.php works just fine when executed on its own page, so I don't really understand how this is happening. I put the var_dump in there just to make sure the data was being retrieved from the database, but the table should be positioned where the var_dump displays on the page Trying to create a very simple API script sending XML data. When I send the "hard coded" XML, it works perfectly. When I add a form to supply the data for the XML, I get a 500 Internal Server error. Have tried it on two different servers. No error in the logs. Stumped. Examples below are VERY simplified (and obviously won't do anything as-is) to show what I'm dealing with. This one works fine: <?php $xml = "<Order><UserId>foo</UserId><Password>foo</Password><Mode>Test</Mode><Name>Charles R. Hodges</Name>"; $xml .= "</Order>"; $url = 'http://sitename.com'; $ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $xml = simplexml_load_string($response); print_r($xml); ?> And then I use this one and all heck breaks loose with the 500 Internal Error: <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $xml = "<Order><UserId>foo</UserId><Password>foo</Password><Mode>Test</Mode><Name>{$_POST['name']}</Name>"; $xml .= "</Order>"; $url = 'http://sitename.com'; $ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $xml = simplexml_load_string($response); print_r($xml); exit; } ?> <html>... etc <form method="post" action=""> Name: <input type="text" name="name" /> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" "Add to XML string and send" /> </form> ?>
So on a cloud computing platform such as AWS, how would one keep the /html folder in Apache identical?
I can FTP into one "instance" and modify code easily enough, but how would I push reversions to multiple servers at once?
It seems like such a simple question, but the answer eludes me.
Edited by arbitrageur, 20 November 2014 - 04:43 PM. Hello, Experts! Need you advice. Here is the code: <?php if ($var == "") { echo "text"; } if ($var == "*") { echo "text"; } else if ($var != "") { $query = "SELECT * FROM bd WHERE ....."; $data = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data); if ($anymatches != 0) { echo "text"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($data)) { echo "text"; } } if ($anymatches == 0) { $query2 = "SELECT * FROM bd WHERE....."; $data2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error()); $anymatches2=mysql_num_rows($data2); if ($anymatches2 != 0) { echo "text" else { mysql_query("INSERT INTO notfound (notfound) VALUES ('$var')") or die(mysql_error()); } } } ?> The last line adds two identical lines to my table. Do I run it twice? Thanks in advance! I'm surely doing something wrong here, but I just cannot see it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. In a login script I read the following two variables from an SQL database. Both fields are defined as int. $this->ScheduleA = $rs->fetchCol('ScheduleA'); $this->SchedConst = $rs->fetchCol('SchedConstant'); Later, I retrieve these variables and attempt to compare them. $schA = $sess['ScheduleA']; $schC = $sess['SchedConst']; if ($schA == $schC) { require('Testing.php'); } else { require('NotAllowed.php'); } They never compare as equal, even though they contain the same value. What, pray tell, am I missing? Well, the title says it all, I do have a class named Database and one Users with multiple methods (code below). When i do try to use one user method (find_all) it returns 2 identical results from the database (and there is only one record in the DB).

Array $exist gets 110, 114 115 from the database the difference should be 111 & 112 I think the problem is with array $exist that is getting its values from the database.

Each distributor has the potential to carry the entire catalog of SKU's so right now, I have the stock/sku/dealer ID/product ID in one table with the product data/ID in another and am only inserting new rows if they are carrying the product. However they want to manage all of the inventory at once so I need to determine which IDs are update queries and which are insert queries. I'm trying to achieve this by comparing an array of the submitted data against an array of their existing inventory. If they don't have an entry for the submitted data key, we need to insert a new row for it to track their inventory. I just can't figure out how to get the keys to line up. Here is what I have; I tried to put it all into obviously defined variables for this forum. Code: (php) [Select] // assign our submitted values to an array $submitted_data = $_POST; // remove the SKUs with 0 or no inventory submitted $submitted_data = array_filter($submitted_data); // pull the distributor id out of the array before the insertion loop $distributors_inventory_distributor_ID = array_pop($submitted_data); // pull all existing inventory for this distributor to see if we are adding new inventory // or updating old inventory $existing_Inventory_Result = mysql_query("SELECT distributors_inventory_product_ID FROM distributors_inventory WHERE distributors_inventory_distributor_ID = $distributors_inventory_distributor_ID ORDER BY distributors_inventory_product_ID ASC", $db); // verify there is a result $existing_Inventory_num_results = mysql_num_rows($existing_Inventory_Result); if ($existing_Inventory_num_results > 0){ while($existing_Inventory_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($existing_Inventory_Result)){ // put existing inventory into an array $existing_Inventory[] = $existing_Inventory_row['distributors_inventory_product_ID']; } } $update_Inventory_Array = array_diff($submitted_data, $existing_Inventory); // print the array [DEBUG ONLY] echo '<h1>$update_Inventory_Array:</h1>'; print_r($update_Inventory_Array); echo '<hr/>'; echo '<h1>$submitted_data:</h1>'; print_r($submitted_data); echo '<hr/>'; echo '<h1>$existing_Inventory:</h1>'; print_r($existing_Inventory); That is outputting this: Quote $update_Inventory_Array: Array ( [963] => 5 [979] => 2 [982] => 2 [974] => 1 [32] => 5 ) $submitted_data: Array ( [963] => 5 [979] => 2 [982] => 2 [974] => 1 [32] => 5 ) $existing_Inventory: Array ( => 32 [1] => 963 [2] => 974 [3] => 979 ) I'd like it to be: Quote $update_Inventory_Array: Array ( [963] => 5 [979] => 2 [974] => 1 [32] => 5 ) $submitted_data: Array ( [982] => 2 ) $existing_Inventory: Array ( [32] => 5 [963] => 1 [974] => 1 [979] => 2 ) Can anyone suggest how to do this? I think if I could make the existing_Inventory array line up with my submitted_data array I could sort the rest out but I'm not sure how to get the keys/data to line up properly. +-----------+----------------------------------+ | username | password | +-----------+----------------------------------+ | user | Hash | +-----------+----------------------------------+ This is what I have set up in my database(obviously I'm not going to put the real user or hash). I'm trying to md5 what the user inputs for a password and compare it to the database, but I keep getting failed login attempts. Code: [Select] <?php error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors', 1); $host = "localhost"; $dbuser = "****"; $pass = "****"; $databasename = "login"; mysql_connect($host,$dbuser,$pass)or die('Could not connect: '.mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($databasename) or die(mysql_error()); if (isset($_POST["user"]) && isset($_POST["pwd"])) { $admin = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members"); $pass = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM members"); if ($_POST["user"] == $admin && md5($_POST["pwd"]) == $pass) { session_register("admin"); session_register("pass"); header('Location:https://deadnode.com/output.php'); } else { echo"<center><h1>Failed login attempt.</h1></center>"; } } ?> Hey I have a quick question. I am trying to have a part of this PHP script compare two numbers. There is a randomly generated two-digit number named $random and There is another two digit number named $number. I want to make it so the PHP checks to see if $number has any of the same charcters as $random. I don't know how to do this though. I suspect that somehow both numbers need to be broken apart somehow. Any advice would be appreciated. Let me know if I should explain it more clearly Thanks a ton! Hi. I have a MySQL database with 4 different fields. id, customer, case and status. No problems of getting them to show up on my page but.. I would like to change the row bgcolor depending of field value on "customer". For example row color would be white until customer changes, then color yellow until customer changes again and back to white etc.. Hope you get the point. Is this possible? Thanks. How in PHP am i able to select a date from a table and compare that date with a period of 2 months? In sql we use something like Quote select @2_months_later_date =dateadd(mm,2,getdate()) how would that be done in php? Hey guys, im having a slight issue with comparing mysql time stamp. I'm using the timestamp in mysql to show how many people are online with in 5 minutes. $sql = mysql_query("SELECT name,id FROM users WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 MINUTE) <= last_active ORDER BY id ASC"); But I want to grab last_active from the data base and compare it like below. I dont know if strtotime just doesnt compare with mysql time stamp or what? if($last_active > strtotime('-5 minutes')) { echo "<td>Online</td>"; }else{ echo "<td>Offline</td>"; } This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=330820.0 |
