i have two .php files: trialform.php and trialaction.php
User chooses search terms using <select> tags on trialform.php, and then that information goes to trialaction.php that has mySQL $query=SELECT * ... which contains variables like $expression1 etc. (Depending on the user's choice).
It works fine. But I wanted to implement pagination from this source
Now my query works only for the first pagination page, when I click on the second and third...it does not show any results. The problem is that the $query=SELECT * ... refers to trialform.php, and it does not exist after the user pressed "Submit".
Do I have to split my $_POST code section in a separate .php file in order to be able to use pagination and <form>?
this is often performed with parameters on subsequent pages passing updates to the page number (gets you the start parameter) and limit as can be seen here http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.0/examples/grid/paging.html
and viewing the http headers in fiddler. for page 4 you get
GET /forum/topics-browse-remote.php?_dc=1368498808032&page=4&start=150&limit=50
and page 5 is
GET /forum/topics-browse-remote.php?_dc=1368498808032&page=5&start=200&limit=50
so subsequent pages (prior or next) know where to start. naturally the parameters are fed into the select statement such as
select * from employee limit 200,50 # start,limit

I am fetching results from a database table which contains the text of multiple pages.
These pages have links in their content.
I am trying to get all the links from the pages in a table, but I am also getting the unwanted text.
For example, this could be the content of a certain part of a page:
line 1: This is the link for lalalaal </a href="page5.html"> click</a>
line 2 if you want to go to page lalalala2 click
Now I only want the area starting from the <a href and ending at </a> in the result record. if there are more than 1 anchor tags in the text, then each anchor tag should be treated as a record.
the returned result should be like
ID value
1 ' click '
2 ' click '
I have tried the following queries :
Select * from [Database.tablename] where value between <a href and </a>;
Select * from [Database.tablename] locate '(<a href, Value)>0' and locate (</a>, value)>0;
but none of the 2 queries are giving me the wanted result...
This sort of text extraction is probably best addressed using regular expressions.
MySQL has some support (see here), but it could only be useful to identify which rows do have an <a></a> pair. Even identifying that there is at least one link inside a record doesn't help you extracting the (possibly many) links and treating them as different records themselves.
To successfully extract those links, at least according to my knowledge, you need a tool better suited to work with regular expressions. Most languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, etc.) support them, some natively, some using available libraries. You can select only records containing links (using REGEXP), and extract every link via code.
Another way of handling this would be performing the query on MySQL, exporting the results to a text file, and working on its contents with shell scripting (for instance, using sed under UNIX/Linux).
If you need it to be implemented using only MySQL, then my best guess is trying with a stored procedure (to be able to work on the results record-by-record.) I still cannot think of an implementation of such SP that guarantees detecting and successfully extracting every possible link inside a record as one record per link.
I'm trying to implement the JSON api (v2) of bigquery. In my code I get the same behaviour as on the documentation page for tabledata-list
My table size is about 11.000 rows. In the documentation page I fill in the following parameters:
ProjectId = X
DatasetId = Y
TableId = Z
MaxResults = 10000 #I want to paginate my results
This returns 10.000 rows and a pageToken. So I do the same request and now I set the page token so that I get the next page of results.
And that returns the same 10.000 rows as before. I expected this to do pagination as described on this page:
All collection.list methods return paginated results under certain circumstances. The number of results per page is controlled by the maxResults property
A page is a subset of the total number of rows. If your results are more than one page of data, the result data will have a nextPageToken property. To retrieve the next page of results, make another list call and include the token value as a URL parameter named pageToken.
Where do I go wrong?
EDIT:
My colleague pointed out to me that on the other documentation pages the result contains a nextPageToken except the response contains a pageToken. The difference being that where pageToken refers to the current page, the nextPageToken refers to the next page.
However the documentation states it should return a nextPageToken (except when there is no more data). But len(table) > len(result)
On the same page it's mentioned that there is a difference for TableData.List() call
The bigquery.tabledata.list method, which is used to page through
table data, uses a row offset value or a page token.
So for TableData.List() you must use the row offset value to paginate, and in order to access previous pages you can use your hashes from your session. This is built because with large volume and big data, you cannot pre-cache the next set of data from your worker pool.
You can help improving the documentation, by using the link on top right of each page that says: Feedback on this document feel free to use that to reach out with improvements.
Also you can submit issues to https://code.google.com/p/google-bigquery/issues/list
Unfortunately, the field returned for TableData.List() that contains the logical "next page token" is literally named "pageToken", rather than "nextPageToken".
Other APIs, like Datasets.List(), return a field literally named "nextPageToken" which contains the logical "next page token".
It's a case of inconsistent naming, but hopefully this helps clear up some confusion.
Okay, I know this question has been half answered around here, but I'll explain in full and see if there maybe a better way to handle this then in just two parts.
I'm building an HTML5 voting site, that will close voting every half hour. And then open a new batch of voting.
What I need to do, is have the URL of this site be 'masked' ie:
have a random URL for it be generated that leads to the same location- so say I'm directing users to voting.com, I want them to only access it via the url votingstuff.com/hg67, and have that end portion be changed every half hour- and once the new url is generated, remove access to the site via the old URL.
I might add that after the user votes, I'd also like to close their voting access until the new URL is posted. AKA- everyone only gets one chance to vote.
Thoughts? Libraries to check out? Sites that do this? I know the randomization has been answered a few times, but usually it's a generator led to by a page, I want to START with a randomly generated URL, and not have a page that creates it as a function. I may have to write code that generates the page I guess?
Here is an approach I can think of -
You don't need to handle multiple URL's, you can achieve this on the same URL itself by enabling/disabling access to the URL content every hour.
You will need some action on your application/server side as well. For reference lets assume you have a PHP server running. You will need some table that holds a status setting for you, something like this -
Settings Table
id settingCode value
=============================
1 votingOpen 1
You will also need to setup a cron job on your server that will run every half an hour. The cron job's task would be to run every half an hour & change the value of the votingOpen to its inverse. So assume open your votings, initial value of the votingOpen field would be 1 i.e the first half an hour of voting starts.
Along with this you will start the cron job as well. Now what will happen is that after half an hour the cron job will fetch the value of votingOpen read it & if its 1, it will change it to 0 & if its 0 it will change it to 1. This will happen every half an hour on your server.
Now you need to make this votingOpen variable accessible on your client side code using a simple query to fetch its value. On each render of your voting page, on top somewhere you can check this value & if its 1 i.e true, you will write the logic to go ahead & show the voting page. But if its 0, you can redirect the user or show a different message on that page.
Lets say your voting happens on http://somedomain.com/voting, on the render logic of this page you can do something like this -
Voting View Logic
<?php
$votingOpen = {some database query that fetches the value from the database};
if($votingOpen) {
// your voting view resides here
} else {
// either redirect user to some other page
// or show some message like voting is closed on this same page.
}
?>
Limit multiple votes from one person
Normally the best way to handle this is a combination or registered user only vote + cookie/localStorage + IP tracking
But if you don't have registered user voting, you can still capture IP of user & allow only one vote per IP and you can also set a cookie or a localStorage variable in the users computer so he can only vote once.
Hope this helps.

i'm working in a symfony project and using sfPropelPager to show a paged list of elements.
The problem is that with a great amount of data to list (i.e. thousands of registers) it makes a query to the database for each page to show!!!! That means about 100 extra queries in my case, and that is unacceptable.
Showing some of my code: the function that returns the pager object
$pager = new sfPropelPager('MyTable',sfConfig::get('sfPropelPagerLines'));
$c = new Criteria();
$c->add('my_table_field',$value);
$c->addDescendingOrderByColumn('date');
$pager->setCriteria($c);
$pager->init();
return $pager;
So, please, if you know a way to get all the results with only one query, it would be a great solution for my problem. Otherwise i must implement that list with an ajax call for every page the user wants to see
Thank you very much for your time.
I'm not sure to get your problem but, anyway, avoid the use of Criteria. Try to make queries with the ModelCriteria API: http://www.propelorm.org/reference/model-criteria.html.
For each paginated page, a query to the database will be done, this is the standard behavior for all pagers I know. If it's related to related objects (assuming you want to display information from relations), you may want to create a query that links those objects before to paginate, that way you'll get one query per page for all your data to display.
Read this doc for instance: http://www.propelorm.org/documentation/03-basic-crud.html#query_termination_methods
At last i did'nt get a solution for the problem, i had to implement the list via AJAX call, calling to a function that returns the requested page, so at the load of the page, no query for this list is slowing the user experience.
Thank you anyway to help me :)
I need to design database with frontend as HTML.
This is my first attempt to do this.
What I need is,
- User can input a word from HTML page, click submit
I will query the word to get a URL from database and user sees that webpage(pointed by URL).
Just enter word, submit and get the webpage displayed.
People suggested using JSP/Access. I am new to everything.
Can you please point out what exactly I need to do?
Thanks a ton.
Following is the way you need to approach
Step1:
Create an HTML page which can take an input from the users
Step 2:
After getting the data from the user, create a connection to the database and pass the searched string as an input paramater.
Step 3:
You will get a result set from a database
Step 4:
Iterate through the result set and display in the html page, if you require the url to be given for those url, so when user clicks So that he will be directed to those websites.
Sample Query:
Select * from table1 where url_Word like '%Search_String'
This will be the procedure that you need to follow to complete your work.
You do not need a database you need a text file. If this is a school project you need more information.
