My Dad Wants PHP & MySQL Or PgSQL Hosting
To my surprise last month, my dad wanted to start dabbling in PHP and
MySQL or pgSQL. I've been helping him out a bit. He's into athletic
medicine and wants to have a website to help athletes and physical
therapists improve performance. His current web hosting provider --
Earthlink -- doesn't give him anything but PHP 3.0.x. I want to get
him at least on PHP 4.2.x (or better) along with either MySQL or
PostgreSQL (pgSQL) support.
I've done some googling on this, but I wanted real user opinions on
cost, customer support, uptime, etc. At this point he's just looking
at something that suits him somewhere between hobbyist and early sole
proprietorship strength. Shared web hosting would suit him fine. Cost
might be an issue for him initially.
He's going to need some sort of simplistic web interface to be able to
create databases, tables, and user accounts.

Hosting PHP And PGSQL DB
Can anyone recommend somewhere that offers cheap or even free web hosting for PHP scripting with a PGSQL database? I am looking to build a small website with some images and dynamic content, such as a forum/message board and wondered what it would cost me for this? I used to use themooseisloose for hosting (one-off payment of £2.77 GBP), but have been alerted that have gone bust (at some point at the end of last year). I've have googled, but was just wondering if anyone had any positive experiences of hosts that will allow this setup mentioned cheaply.

MySQL And PGSQL And Hostname Question
i would like the thoughts of some folks with more experience than i have. i want to learn pgsql. i have some vb and msaccess experience and would like to learn how to use php and pgsql to develop some nice website / application functionality. however, i'm not sure the hurdle of relatively miniscule documentation and tutorials is worth the effort. i'm now thinking i should just use mysql to start and, if the need really arises, move over to pgsql. i'm busy with a lot of stuff right now - regular job, starting a business, developing a web site for the business, learning graphics programs, living life, blah, blah, blah. what is your opinion? go with the better documented db and develop more quickly but have to possibly switch over later when time may be more available and retain my hair or bite the bullet and go with pgsql? differing opinions are appreciated and encouraged so i can evaluate them based on my own set of values. also i am trying to set up localhost as my url so my hardcoded links work on my local win98 machine (actual webserve is linux). host.sam is as follows... 127.0.0.1 localhost www.easyautodeals.com my apache httpd.conf file shows the following for ServerName: ServerName www.easyautodeals.com however, when i type easyautodeals into my web browser, i go straight to my actual web server and not to my "localhost" location.

Setting Up Web Hosting With Php/mysql
is it possible to do the following thing with php/mysql? 1. user registers 2. upon clicking the "submit" button a php script creates a mysql DB with a unique name ( So far so good, till there I have no prob) 3. the specific user gets SELCT INSERT UPDATE rights for his database only. 4. Mysql quota is set to 10MB 5. user directory with write permission only by the specific user gets created under the www directory. 6. Syncronization of Disk quota and mysql quota e.g. 9MB pictures in the user directory, means 1MB left for mysql or the oposite 9MB mysql data, 1mb free in the user directory. This whole thing must run on its own without someone to create the accounts PS: As someone suggested in another forum, a possible solution is to connect php to a perl demon and the execute then system related actions. ( php should not execute scripts as root due to security reasons). Any good link to start reading about this or maybe another idea?

Advice For Setting Up Local Hosting/mysql/php ?
this is going to sound dumb to most but here goes. Please keep in mind, I am coming from a windows background. I want to do some development using PhP and animated gifs. I see that the patch can be applied to PhP 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 to enable imagegif and animate functions. I have come to the realization that I am going to have to run my own local linux server. My question then is what do I need to install a local server to host web pages from, I will also need a database. I want to run a typical hosted site except I want to be able to easily create gif animations and I also want access to ImageMagick. My current host has access to neither. The installation of the MySql I think I can handle. It's the apache and other web stuff part I think I am going to have trouble with. So what do I need to run a typical host site then? PhP, Perl, cgi-bin, MySql, Apache, umm?? Any good books or sites for setting up a server step-by-step?

Good Hosting Company That Supports Php/mysql
Hosting companies are a dime a dozen, and many have problems. So I wanted to ask you guys for any recommendations. My current hosting company, www.web .com, who although I have had no problems with, does not support php 5. They only have php4. And from what I have read, there is a big difference in how the pages are coded. Do many companies support php5, and if so, would you please give a recommendation (based on your actual, hopefully, positive experience). Yahoo hosting supports php 4.3.11 and mysql 4.1.12. Would that be good enough?

Local Access Database To Shared PHP/MySql Hosting Export
My client has an MS Access database application on her local machine. I have full access to that in terms of changing the design. I've got a simple PHP/MySql application on shared hosting, so no direct access to the db server. I'd like to give her the facility to export the information in her local Access application to the shared PHP/MySql site. From one command button (or similar) in the Access application. It would be probably be a complete overwrite. That is to say all the information on the shared site would be overwritten with that from the local machine. I'm assuming that I'd have to make an HTTP request to some PHP page which would then run the SQL to delete all the records, then append all the new ones. Is this the right approach? I don't want to spend weeks finding out that this is fundamentally flawed in some way. The client has an ADSL connection.

Pgsql Socket Timeout
I am encountering a problem with PHP5 and postgresql on a fedora core 3 box. I have a database driven report application written in PHP5 on a remote server. This application allows a user to submit a sql statement created by php based on user input parameters to the postgresql server. The application works great as long as the database server can return the result set within what appears to be 2 minutes. If the query takes longer than two minutes to execute the database server will eventually finish the work *but* no rows of data appear on the web page. I am thinking that the network socket connection between the php engine and the postgresql database server gets dropped after two minutes and that is way the results never arrive at the php page. If you think this might be a plausible explanation can you provide some assistance as to how I can go about adressing this problem?

PGSQL 7.4.8 PHP 4.3.4 & Apache 2.0.49 Segmentation Fault With Client Certs
Having an issue that is specific to PHP compiled with PGSQL support with versions noted in subject line. I understand that there are many variables to consider here but believe I have narrowed down the Apache Client Cert failures to my PHP/PGSQL build. 1. Apache PHP without PGSQL works as expected using client certificates 2. Apache PHP with PGSQL works fine with standard SSL connections 3 Apache PHP with PGSQL fails with client certificates - no output other than Segmentation faults in the apache error logs as follows: [Wed Nov 30 23:26:57 2005] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec2).... I also performed same tests on another instance of Apache/PHP/PGSQL which was version 2.0.54 of apache and PHP/PGSQL versions same as subject line with same exact results. Any ideas as to the source of this problem and suggestions for tests/fixes are greatly appreciated. There are no errors in any of the logs other than what I have included so it's very difficult to see what is wrong. All I know for sure is that I am able to reproduce the results on more than one machine.
