I'm writing a vbscript application that reads UTF-8 XML containing Chinese
characters and stores the data in MySql 4.0.x.
Does anybody have any experience in this area with regarding codepage and
character sets? Ideally I want the scripts to be able to handle Standard
European characters and Chinese characters as well.
Are there any special considerations for using MySql/ODBC and ADO to get and
put the data.
I am using a customized version of the XML RSS Content Feed VBScript Class (available at:
XML RSS Content Feed VBScript Class to show an XML-feed on my web site. Since the web site are based on a CMS that uses an MS SQL - database, I will try to store the XML-feed in the database instead of just displaying it using a XML/RSS-parser.
I know Microsoft have several tools for this, but they seems to sofisticated and complicated for my use. I just wants an simple ASP-script that reads thought the XML-feed, and store the differnt news-items straight into my MS-SQL DB.
Anyone know of any special issues with storing cookies with ASP? I'm
trying this with two browsers: One is IE 6.0 with cookies set to
'prompt'. This has been working properly as any new site I goto seems
to prompt me to store their cookie. The other is Pocket IE on Pocket
PC 2002, with the cookies set to 'enabled'.
My problem is that the cookies dont seem to be being written with my
ASP. I dont get the prompt to store the cookie when I should. My
storage code looks like this:
Response.Cookies("AcctNbr")= nAcctNbr
Response.Cookies("MsgStart")= nMsgStart
Response.Cookies("MsgEnd")= nMsgEnd
Response.Cookies("AcctNbr").Expires= DateAdd("h", 15, Now)
Response.Cookies("MsgStart").Expires= DateAdd("h", 15, Now)
Response.Cookies("MsgEnd").Expires= DateAdd("h", 15, Now)
And the read code looks like this:
I have run into a unique issue, what I want to be able to do is store a collection or array into a database or xml file. The main reason for doing this, is I don't want to use Sessions as they are volatile to server hiccups or resets. I don't want to use cookies as they are insecure, but I will use one cookie to store a UniqueID to relate to the data in the database or XML file.Can anyone think of a way to store an array in Access, MySQL, or XML file?
View Replies View RelatedI've read that you shouldn't store objects in Session variables.
I've read these reasons:
- The object takes up memory that may not be freed until the session times
out. Better to create the object only when you actually use it.
- Causes poor performance because the thread that created the object has to
service all requests for it.
Assuming I can live with the memory and performance implications (a big if,
but let's assume it for a minute), what other reasons are there?
I have a page which reads the contents from a certain table. The displayed text is followed by a link which is also stored in that table. They can just click the link belonging to a certain newsitem and the page with that news will display. But, for every new item I make a new page. What I want is that the link every time opens the same newspage but with only the selected newsitem. Something like "SELECT description FROM tblNews Where ID= [the ID belonging to the link I pressed on the previous page]"

I am trying to store some data from my database (access) into some variables so that I don't have to keep on opening up the database everytime I want to display the data. Dont know what I am doing wrong but i keep getting an internal server error 500.
I am not too familiar with arrays or recordsets, but I am trying to store ids from database records into an array in an ASP file.
I opened the recordset object in the ASP file, and the stored procedure in the SQL Server pulls back ids from multiple records. I want to store these ids in an array. But I am not sure how to do it. The recordset now seems to be only giving me one id (the id of the last record only) when the stored procedure is made to give ids from multiple records.
I am new to web design and ASP, I am developing a site which has a logon script, what I want to do is return a user to the location they were at after login. Some of the pages will have query-string information in the address bar so need capture that as well.

x = window.location.href
document.cookie=x
</script>
Appears to do what I want as I can pick up the href out of the cookie after login and return user to page, prob is I don't seem to be able to include it in my server side scripting which is doing the login it falls over at the script tag.....
I have a wast databse of records, where there are so many Images assiociated with each record. I store the Image paths, record's primary key in the database and retrive them as and when required to display the records and the necessary images corresponding to the records. the image path as of now contains a relative path from the root directoy.
Problem:
The main problem is ..what happenes when the hard disk is full and if i add another harddisk.. and add images into that new hard disk. how will i be able to address the images?? as they are in a separate hard disk hence cannot be addressed relative to the web site's root directory..

View Replies View RelatedI'm developing an intranet and I would like for first time visitors (per session) to check a table's settings so that the intranet would act accordingly.
in tblIntranetSettings, I have a field called fldIntranetDown. This field holds a 0 or 1 value (0 meaning the Intranet is not down and 1 meaning that it is)
I would like for the supposed system to check this value and perform a function dependant on the value it finds. My thoughts were to use the Session_OnStart of the global.asa, but to my understanding that is only fired off as a new session is created (yes, this checks the value, but read on for a possible snafu)
Now, if I had a visitor who did this check, and it came up as 0, allowing them to peruse the intranet, and something came up where I changed that value to 1, thus closing the intranet, said user could still roam, as that the check SHOULDN'T be made on a per page request basis (that would be a hog, wouldn't it?)
So my question is, "How can I develop some kind of system where the database values are stored for all to reference without multiple hits on the DB and only updated (to be checked) when their values are changed?"
Please don't feel like you have to give the EXACT answer here. If you say something like "You'll need to look into XXX, that do what you want", then that is all I need (I like doing the research, I'm just stumped for an answer to HOW I can go about doing this)

We are running windows 2000 with dot.net framework 1.1 on IIS 5.1. This is an NLB architecture with the session being stored in an SQL DB. We have been coding and deploying using ASP.NET with no problems however the 'powers that be' have recently bought an online booking application which has been coded using classic asp.
We have set the session location in the machin config of the framework stating
mode="SQLServer". Will this ASP use this or continue to store the code InProc?
I'm storing information in a database that will later be displayed on the website and I have a questions about line breaks. My users will type in paragraphs into the text area. Then that information will be saved in an Access Database. Later it will be displayed on the website.
The only problem is that the line breaks that the user makes aren't stored in the DB, so when the information is displayed on the website it doesn't have that formatting (line breaks). I don't want to have to tell the user to type in <br> after each paragraph. What can I do to keep that formatting?

Ok I looked around and read some articles about using a db to store images and stuff about having to save it as a blob. How exactly would you input it though? Is is the standard "insert" query?
Also, if I don't plan to use the image itself in the db (to reduce slow down) and store the path instead, would it still be easy to load it into a webpage as if it were to be in the db? Or should i just store it into the db?

to be able to make it to have text then a few paragraphs down have a nice right aligned image with text to the left of it and then some more text etc etc so it looks like a static, layout planned article.

Basically i would like to have an image of each book in the DB to be displayed upon request in the website. So I guess what i would really like to know is

2. Does it make sense to do this?
3. Would it be better to have some kind of pointer in the DB to a place in the file system where the image is stored? .......
