php code eval in field

Ap Muthu — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 04:07:15 -0000

The recently (v5.7.1+) introduced 'php' field attribute needs some documentation. The name of the file to be executed is fixed in the said attribute and cannot have any variables ordinarily as they are normally declared before including and instantiating the phpmyedit class file.

Attached is a zip file containing 'phpMyEdit-vars_in_php.txt' listing the variables available for use inside the php file.

A sample field declaration would be:

$opts['fdd']['Junk'] = array(
'name' => 'Junk',
'select' => 'T',
'sql|LV' => '',
'php' => 'Dept.php',
'options' => 'LV',
'escape' => false,
'sort' => false
);

The contents of a 'Dept.php' to obtain the variables listing is:

<?
echo "This is $row[qf1]";
$arr = get_defined_vars(); print_r($arr);
$arr = get_defined_constants(); print_r($arr);
?>

The support site at http://opensource.platon.sk appears down and hence this forum can be made active for uses to publicly share info.

phpMyEdit as a module of Exponent

Chris Meeder — Mon, 21 Feb 2005 07:23:16 -0000

I am a happy user of phpMyEdit. But would very much
like it to be integrated with an easy to use CMS such
as Exponent.
If integrated with Exponent, one could use the password
and permission system from the Exponent CMS.
Furthermore Exponent has already a Form module to
design forms but lacks a powerfull flexible and fast
display module such as phpMyEdit.

Add select record column with option E

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Oct 2002 09:33:04 -0000

Recommended change in PHPMyEdit.inc:
Line 1103:

*
If user is allowed to Change/Delete
records, we need an extra column
to allow users to select a record
*/
$select_recs = (($this-
>change_enabled () or $this->delete_enabled () or $this-
>detail_enabled ()) and ($this->key != ''));

Dropdown list not PRE selected

Hans T — Wed, 21 Aug 2002 12:59:21 -0000

When I link two tables together in 4.0b3 the table list
show the correct value from the other table.
However when I want to Change a row, I get a
dropdownlist with all posibilies (correct) but without the
original value PRE selected (incorrect or required I think)

db name in PHPMyEditSetup

Dario — Sat, 17 Aug 2002 12:48:39 -0000

My MySQL provider doesn't allow database name
lookup, so I had to bypass the installation script by
manually specifying in PHPMyEditSetup a value for $db.
(there is by default just one database per user, the
database name is the login)

Perhaps you might modify the setup file so that users
with this same problem don't need to bother with the
code ;-)

Addition to ensure DB details are secure

Charles Warwick — Mon, 29 Jul 2002 23:55:13 -0000

All include files (generated and static) are created and included
using a .inc extension. This means that anyone can read these
files direct from a web browser.

My recommendation is that *at least* the PME_site_defaults.inc
and the <queryname>Content.inc files be renamed to .php to
prevent anyone from reading these files from the web, and
learning the username and password for the databases in use.

Optional multiple select rows

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Jul 2002 19:17:48 -0000

Is it possible to select more than one row in the radio
fields that display table rows.

For instance the ability to use the 'Display' function to
view more than one item row.

Delete more than oen row at a time and even edit
mreo than row at a time?

Blob field support

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Jul 2002 13:02:59 -0000

Hi,

Thank's for your great project.

Would it be possible to support the fields of the Blob
type? Extraction of the image with a name MD5 and then
to post it in the form < img
src=/img_cache_path/md5name > that would make it
possible not to reach each time the data base.

An another request is to support other databases type
(postgreSQL for example). You can use a wrapper like
AdoDB for example.

Regards.

Upload BLOB's

Bryce Nesbitt — Thu, 18 Jul 2002 16:28:53 -0000

My database has a field for a graphic image, stored in
a BLOB.
It would be nice if PHPMyEdit would recognize the
binary BLOB type, and treat it differently from TEXT.

For display, the binary BLOB should be a link.
For upload, this simple HTML does it:
