Remote Connection to Mysql
Good grief! Do you live on this board? ;) Thanks, I'll go look into this VPN stuff. Celia -
CRC32 - always returns a signed int?
I had to go look up "RTFM" at the link you put in your sig. I read the manual actually before I even tested the function, but I was idiot enough not to see the 32-bit thing. Thanks for pointing it out. Celia -
CRC32 - always returns a signed int?
Yep, I should know, I've had this page open on my computer over the last few days: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Storage_requirements.html Celia -
Remote Connection to Mysql
I don't suppose you have any idea how to keep a database protected from the general internet or communicate with it using VPN? Any material I can read to get me started perhaps? I don't even know what VPN is! Celia -
CRC32 - always returns a signed int?
32 bit length is 4 bytes or an int? Celia -
CRC32 - always returns a signed int?
I suspect so because I just ran this program and it didn't find any out of range values. <? $e = 0; for($i=0; $i < 1000000; $i++) { $str = rand(1,999).'.'.rand(1,999).'.'.rand(1,999).'.'.rand(1,999); if (crc32($str) > 2147483647 || crc32($str) < -2147483648) { echo "Out of range for... -
CRC32 - always returns a signed int?
No matter what value I give for crc32() I end up with an integer that could be stored in a signed int column in a mysql database. Is there a way to find out if this would always be the case? Celia -
Remote Connection to Mysql
Is it possible to connect to mysql on another computer, in a different state? Is this secure? (could somebody intercept my username/password and gain access to my database?) Is it fast? Running a few small select statements and about 2 update/inserts? Most webhosts run php in safe mode, if it... -
"parse error, unexpected $" but there's no dollar sign there!
Yeh no kidding. Celia -
"parse error, unexpected $" but there's no dollar sign there!
I solved it, missing a single closing curly bracket } on an if. The error was about 900 lines above where php had the parse error:) I solved it by copying and pasting units of my program into a new php file until the error re occurred. Then, having isolated the error to a block of code (about... -
"parse error, unexpected $" but there's no dollar sign there!
"parse error, unexpected $" but there's no dollar sign there! (it's the end of the page) Now I've had this error before and I solved it eventually. The trouble is I forget how I solved it, I just remember I had a hell of a time doing it. And this time I have a 1300 line program! I... -
Creating var within a loop!??
hozac is right, using arrays will be much easier. Read the information at the link he showed you and then try this: $fields = array("field1value","field2value",...etc); $num = 1; foreach ($fields as $field) { echo "<p> $stoixeia<b> </b><b>$num</b> <input... -
MySQL Link-Identifier?
Nope, but the mysql_connect statement returns simply the number 1. The mysql_select_db statement then generates Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource... Not sure what to make of that... I assume 1 will never === FALSE so it should be valid right? Celia -
MySQL Link-Identifier?
The warning is coming from php, neither of the connect, select, or query statements dies. Really odd...:( Celia -
MySQL Link-Identifier?
Here's the code: mysql_connect($database['hostname'],$database['username'],$database['password']) || die (error("Could not connect to database: ".mysql_error(),1)); mysql_select_db($database['dbname']) || die (error("Could not select database: ".mysql_error(),1)); //select...
