databsridge 1 and MySQLi server behaviour or Databridge 2?

Hello Ray,
I have a lots of websites built using Databridge 1 and MySQL.
I have also Databridge 2 installed (on another version of dreamweaver, just to mantain web site editability).

I would like to update all websites with minimal impact. So, I think updating the MySQL code to MySQLi code would be easier than upgrading the websites completely from DataBridge 1 to Data Bridge 2.

What do you think? Will this work?

TIA
tony

Yes. That is what I would do. You can do it one page at a time.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Thanks, Ray,

in Databridge 1 I have a custom query:

$insegna_rs_validata = WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg")?WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg"):"-1";
if (isset($_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'])) {
  $insegna_rs_validata = $_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_conn_registrazione, $conn_registrazione);
$query_rs_validata = sprintf("SELECT * FROM insegne WHERE insegna_ins = %s", GetSQLValueString($insegna_rs_validata, "text"));
$rs_validata = mysql_query($query_rs_validata, $conn_registrazione) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rs_validata = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_validata);
$totalRows_rs_validata = mysql_num_rows($rs_validata);?>

But now I need to upgrade this code to MySQLi.
I'm trying to tweak the code but it is not working.

I was almost sure that you were able to upgrade recordset by just selecting the "_i" connection but it didn't work (I cannot select the "_i" connection).
Perhaps only DB2 offer this feature?

What if I open a DB1 website in DB2 and change only MySQL here? would it be a mess?
TIA

You need DB2 to update existing Recordsets to MySQLi. Then you would be able to just change the connection and re-apply.

Hello ray,
in DB1 I created this code using MySQL:

$insegna_rs_validata = WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg")?WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg"):"-1";
if (isset($_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'])) {
  $insegna_rs_validata = $_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_conn_registrazione, $conn_registrazione);
$query_rs_validata = sprintf("SELECT * FROM insegne WHERE insegna_ins = %s", GetSQLValueString($insegna_rs_validata, "text"));
$rs_validata = mysql_query($query_rs_validata, $conn_registrazione) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rs_validata = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_validata);
$totalRows_rs_validata = mysql_num_rows($rs_validata);?>

Now I need to convert this to MySQLi.
I converted it to:

$insegna_rs_validata = WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg")?WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_data","nome_punto_vendita_reg"):"-1";
if (isset($_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'])) {
  $insegna_rs_validata = $_POST['nome_punto_vendita_reg'];
}
$rs_validata = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rs_validata",$conn_registrazione_i,1);
$rs_validata->setQuery("SELECT * FROM insegne WHERE insegna_ins = ?");
$rs_validata->bindParam("s", $insegna_rs_validata, "-1"); //insegna
$rs_validata->execute();

As you can see, I changed the code:

GetSQLValueString($insegna_rs_validata, "text")

$insegna_rs_validata

Do you think there is a better way to convert it?

After updating the recorsets I updated the code to display the recordset fields on the page (in my example they are all dynamic dropdow menus).
What other code need I to update?

TIA
tony

That should work. I think if you used this syntax:

$rs_validata->bindParam("s", "". $insegna_rs_validata ."", "-1"); //insegna

then you could open and edit the code in Dreamweaver more easily.
