hmmm, indeed that’s not possible, but I’ll add it in the next release; until then, you’ll have to hack Zebra_Database.php and edit the content of the “_connected” private function, at line 3895

Thanks for the comprehensive class! One thing I noticed is the lack of being able to specify the MySQL port to connect to. Am I just blind?

Hi,
First of all, real nice work with the script. Makes life a easier

Second, I came across a small bug with the documentation.

http://stefangabos.ro/wp-content/docs/Zebra_Database/Zebra_Database/Zebra_Database.html#methodselect

Mentions the parameter order as
mixed select ( string $columns , string $table , [ string $where = ''] , [ array $replacements = ''] , [ string $order = ''] , [ mixed $limit = ''] , [ mixed $cache = false] , [ boolean $highlight = false] , [ boolean $calc_rows = false] )

The $highlight and $calc_rows got mixed up there.
It should have been
mixed select ( string $columns , string $table , [ string $where = ''] , [ array $replacements = ''] , [ string $order = ''] , [ mixed $limit = ''] , [ mixed $cache = false] , [ boolean $calc_rows = false] , [ boolean $highlight = false] )

Never mind. I just figure out how to do the insert_bulk() dynamically. I just needed to put an array of arrays into a variable and pass that. Your software is awesome! Thanks.

You know, have you considered creating a forum so people could help each other?

Just want to let you know you have a couple of typos in your insert_bulk() documentation. You’ve got one too many close parentheses and the text that reads, “return: Returns TRUE on success of FALSE on error.” Should read as, “return: Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.”

Thank you for answering my question on the limit issue.

I’m trying to use the insert_bulk() feature and I have an unknown number if items that I need to insert. I can loop through them or put them in an array, but how can I code the insert_bulk() statement to accept a non-deterministic number of rows for insert?

Thanks!

give it a try but as long as you have the correct settings in MySQL (well, and mayber some proper headers in PHP) I don’t think you should have problems

unfortunately, you'll have to do something like

$db->query('
    SELECT 
        * 
    FROM 
        table 
        INNER JOIN (
            SELECT 
                * 
            FROM 
                other_table 
            LIMIT ' . $db->escape($value) . ')
');
