PHP - Php Not Connecting To Sql Server

This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.   I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.   The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.   This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.     I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS.  Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue.  That isn't my question.   My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy.  But it doesn't exactly sound safe.  So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back.  This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?   My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response. Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that. What kind of options are there out there?
  Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up?

Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file.

<?php require($view); ?>

starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb

Hi, my school say not to use XAMPP, and I already have PHP installed, MySQL installed, Apache I am not sure, but assuming if I have it installed, how do I connect to localhost b/c beforer when I use XAMPP, the default for where to get php/mysql running was: C:\xampp\htdocs\

Please any help appreciated!

Can someone tell me why in the following code, in the 'try' section, this code works: (first line after 'try')    $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbasename", $username, $password); even though I have not declared a variable named $dbname, but if I change it to "$databasename", which I have declared, it doesn't work. I don't understand that.   <code> <?php

Hey all   I'm working on a script which needs to connect to the Google Calendar API, but when I run the code I get

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }'' in /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php:341 Stack trace: #0 /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php(300): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenRequest(Array) #1 /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php(230): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenWithAssertion() #2 /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Service/Resource.php(171): Google_Auth_OAuth2->sign(Object(Google_Http_Request)) #3 /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Service/Calendar.php(1133): Google_Service_Resource->call('list', Array, 'Google_Service_...') #4 /home/public_html/cal_test/index.php(34): Google_Service_Calendar_CalendarList_Resource->listCalendarList() #5 {main} thrown in /home/public_html/cal_test/google-api-php/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php on line 341

So I'm currently watching this tutorial : http://youtu.be/9E0s4gsUeU0
And am trying to build the sample application shown there. However I do seem to run into some problems, so if someone could take the time to help me out; I would be very grateful!

---
The application is a simple HTML form, which takes the data input and stores it into a MySQL database table.

My project is organized as this :


The actual form is stored on the insert.php file.
Code: [Select]
<?php

include_once('resources/init.php');

if (isset($_POST['title'], $_POST['post'])) {

// functions go here!

}


?>

<html>
<head>
<title>
Post something!
</title>
</head>

<body>

<div id="form">
<form method="POST" action= " ">
<label for="title">Title:</label><br>
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" /><br>
<label for="post">Post:</label><br>
<textarea name="post" id="post" rows="15" cols="50"></textarea><br>

</form>
</div>

</body>
</html>


The config.php and init.php are the configuration and initialize files.

config.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

 $config['DB_HOST'] = 'localhost';
 $config['DB_USER'] = 'root';
 $config['DB_PASS'] = '';
 $config['DB_NAME'] = 'form';
 
//foreach ( $config as $k => $v ) {
//  define(strtouper($k), $v);
//}

?>


init.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

 include_once('config.php');
 
 mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
 mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);
 
?>
---

When I try this in my browser I get the error :
Code: [Select]
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'DB_HOST' (11004) in C:\xampp\htdocs\form\resources\init.php on line 5

Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\xampp\htdocs\form\resources\init.php on line 6

Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server could not be established in C:\xampp\htdocs\form\resources\init.php on line 6

Could someone tell me what is wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all.

My database just stopped connecting? I have tried everything i could but no way!
When i login to the page, it shows just blank page. So i started trying to figure out what could be the problem by disabling some included files.
Then i discovered the problem is from my database connection.
I re-uploaded the files and still not working (still blank)

What could have happened and what can i do?

I even went as far as creating the database connection inside the page to see if it will work but still no way!

 

Thanks

I have the following code created, however when i run it it doesn't come back as saying connected successfully?

<?php

$host = "localhost";
$my_user = "root";
$my_password = "";
$my_db = "notes_db"

$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");

echo ("Connected Successfully");
?>

Never worked with GoDaddy before... Can't get my config script to connect to the database.  Here's my code (I'm sure all the login info is correct, except maybe the host name but I copied that from GoDaddy too...)
<?php
ob_start();
// MySQL connection settings
$db_host = "anakdesigns.db.2089823.hostedresource.com";
$db_user = "********";
$db_pass = "********";
$db_name = "********";
// Connect to the database
$con = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or die("Cannot connect to DB");
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die("Error accessing DB");
?>

http://www.anakdesigns.com/dev

<?php
$username="a7564065_si";
$password="*****";
$database="a7564065_food";

mysql_connect(mysql4.000webhost.com,$username,$password);
...

I am trying to connect to mysql but having trouble.
The host name: mysql4.000webhost.com

I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/a7564065/public_html/Index.html on line 17

Any ideas?

Hi,

I found the following tutorial on a list of Top 20 tutorials.  However, I have gone through code and there doesn't seem to be any form database connection or config.php fille.  So how does this code write to a database if it doesn't connect to a database?

Hi.

For a uni assignment I am turning my static prototype into a dynamic prototype and adding various features like templates, log in system and the ability to add/delete information stored on the database and view the information on the website.

I have running into a problem though, I am having difficulties getting connected to the database, I don't know if this is something to do with the log in information though, below I have quoted the files.

update.php (the script I use to connect to the database)
Quote

<?php
/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
$name = $_POST['name'];
$sname = $_POST['sname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$number = $_POST['number'];

mysql_connect("localhost", "", "") or die ('error:   ' .mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("bza410_test");

$query="INSERT INTO testTable (id, firstname, surname, address, phone)VALUES ('NULL','".$name."', '".$sname."', '".$address."', '".$number."')";

mysql_query($query) or die ('error updating database');

echo "database updated with: " .$name. " ".$sname."  ".$address." ".$number ;


?>
 


after localhost I am aware password/username goes there, just removed them for obvious reasons.

When I fill in the form and then press submit it goes to "error updating database" from the script, so have I got the server information wrong?


Thanks

Hello again guys!

What if i have 2 databases, db1 and db2. i want to read raw data from db1 and match it's content with data from db2, then produce some information. How can i do it at the same time? I know that to be able to access mysql data, we have to use the mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db(). mysql_select_db() only allows to connect to single database. what should i do?

thanks for your help in advance.

I have "UPC" setup as a system dsn, type "CodeBaseOdbcStand", and I can connect to it from access.  However, I am not having success yet using php.  This is a connection to .dbf /.cdx files for data associated with our inventory program.

I am moving a site from another server to a new one. I have changed all the code snippets to reflect the new server and the new database but for some reason when I come to login it will not take me further. I know that the code has connected to the database as I have a userlog table on there  telling me I when I logged in last.

elow is my login.php (there is obviously more than the code included)

Code: [Select]
<?
require 'include/common.inc.php';
require 'include/session.inc.php';

if(($u_username != "") || ($u_password != "")) {

  if(!$funcResult->returnValue) {
      header("Location: login.php?msg=" . $funcResult->errorMessage);
      echo "ERROR: " . $funcResult->errorMessage;
  } else {
      if($artid!="") {
    header("Location: news/readarticle.php?artid=$artid");
  } else {
  if($funcResult->errorMessage == "M") {
  header("Location: members/index.php");
  exit;

The site isn't doing anything when I enter username and password, just bringing me back to the same page. Also I am unable to access the areas of the site that are only for registered members. Any help here would be greatly apprecaited, I have spent days on this now. Thanks in advance!

There are a few other bugs that need ironing out too. You can view the site at www.newquayuncovered.com
