HTTP
• Clients communicate with servers using HTTP
– Hypertext Transfer Protocol
• Client sends a request
– get specifies URI of a resource, or search query, or …
– post sends a "message" with (larger) data to the server
• Server responds with
– header(s)
• MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
– data format: text/plain, image/jpeg
• status code:
– 200 success
– 404 resource not found
– see www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html
– empty line
– content

URI & URL
• URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) identify Internet resources
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
– URI of a documents
• URL consists of
– protocol
• http://, file://, ftp://, …
– hostname
• translated to unique IP address
• using DNS (Domain Name Server)
– e.g. IP address of www.hawaii.ics.edu is 128.171.10.76
– resource path
• usually in a virtual directory (security)
• resources may be created dynamically
– get method can append data
• separated by ?

Web Servers: IIS & Apache
• IIS (Internet Information Services)
–
–
–
–
proprietary, by Microsoft
included with some versions of Windows.
IIS 7.0 is preinstalled with Windows Vista
W3SVC must be enabled
• World Wide Web Publishing Service
• Apache
–
–
–
–
the most popular web server
open source
runs under UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, etc.
download from httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Server-side Installation
(Apache, MySQL, PHP, Ruby, Rails, etc.)
1.
2.
3.
Download InstantRails from instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Instant_Rails
Download and install 7-Zip from www.7-zip.org/
Unzip InstantRails-2.0-win.zip with 7-Zip
•
don't use Windows Explorer because of problems with long paths
•
Extract files… into a directory with a short path, e.g. C:/server/
9
Server-side Installation (cont.)
1. On Vista, right-click InstantRails.exe and select Run As Administrator
2. OK to regeneration of configuration files
3. When Windows Firewall asks whether to unblock Apache.exe, Unblock it
10
Test Installation
•
InstantRails with Apache and MySQL servers is now running, you can stop them any time
1.
2.
Test the server in your browser using the localhost/ address
Then replace the path/www/index.html file, were is the installation directory, e.g.
C:/server/www/index.html
11
Direct Instalation of Servers
• Separate installation Apache server is
described in Apache.ppt
• Separate installation MySQL server is
described in MySQL.ppt
12
Databases
• Database: collection of data
• DBMS (database management system)
– allows to store, organize, retrieve and modify a
database
• Relational database
–
–
–
–
RDBMS (Relational DBMS)
the most popular today
based on interrelated tables
use SQL (Structured Query Language) to
• execute queries
• manipulate data
13
Relational Databases
• Table rows
– data
• Table columns
– data attributes
– primary key
• column(s) with unique (combination of) values
– foreign key(s)
• primary key(s) in another table
• establish relations within tables
• ER (entity-relationship) diagram shows relationships among tables
– a table is shown as a box listing its columns
– a relationships between two tables is shown as an arrow
• points from a foreign key to the related table
• label ∞ means that there may be many rows for one value of the foreign key
– one-to-many relationship

SQL Keywords
•
SELECT
–
•
FROM
–
•
inserts rows
UPDATE
–
•
combines rows from several tables
INSERT
–
•
how to group rows
INNER JOIN
–
•
list of columns to determins how to order rows
suffix ASC or DECS means ascending or descending, ASC is default
GROUP BY
–
•
specifies rows
ORDER BY
–
–
•
specifies table(s) (e.g. within SELECT)
WHERE
–
•
retrieves data from one or more tables
updates rows
DELETE
–
deletes rows
16
Basic SQL
•
SELECT columns FROM table WHERE conditions
– columns is a comma-separated list of columns
•
* means all columns
•
the order of columns in the list determines their order in the result
– conditions that the values in columns must satisfy
•
•
possible relational operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, <>
operator LIKE 'pattern' allows pattern matching
–
–
•
_ matches any single character within pattern
% matches any number (incl. 0) of any characters within pattern
INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES (values)
– values is a comma-separated list of values that match columns
•
UPDATE table SET columns-values WHERE conditions
– columns-values is a comma-separated list of column and value pairs
• = separates column from value within a pair
•
•
DELETE FROM table WHERE conditions
WHERE conditions clause is optional in all statements
17
SQL Examples
•
SELECT Title FROM Courses
•
•
SELECT Title FROM Courses WHERE Term = 'FS 2008'
SELECT Title FROM Courses
WHERE Term = 'FS 2008', Number = '313'
18
SQL Join
•
SELECT columns FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON column1 = column2
– cartesian product, function composition in relational algebra
– ON clause specifies which rows are joined.
– If column1 and column2 have the same name they must be fully qualified
– i.e., table1.column = table2.column
• Other joins exist
– OUTER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, …
19
MySQL
• MySQL
–
–
–
–
pronounced “my sequel”
robust and scalable
multiuser
multithreaded
• concurrent tasks, i.e. fast
– multi-platform
• Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, Linux
– uses SQL
– free
20
Other RDBMS
• Apache Derby
–
–
–
–
free
uses SQL
accessible as Java DB
bundled with Java SE 6
• ADO.NET
– Microsoft
– SQL
– object model
• SqlCommand object represents a SQL command
• SqlAdapter object connects a SQL RDBMS
• Most web server systems simplify access to RDMBS
– PHP, Ruby on Rails, Perl
21
PHP
• Popular server-side scripting language
• Open source
• Numerous platforms
• UNIX, Linux, Mac, Windows
• Supports several databases
• Allows to write programs within XHTML pages
– PHP code is enclosed within <?php and ?>
– server substitutes PHP code by XHTML before it sends the page
to the client
22
PHP Basics
• Variables
– declared using my
– start with $
• e.g., my $count = 0;
– can be assigned values of different types
• Statements
– end with ;
• Comments
– line comments start with // or #
– multiline comments are enclosed within /* and */
• Strings are enclosed within " or '
– . is the concatenation operator
– variables within a string are "interpolated", i.e.,
• print ("count"." = $count"); //prints: count = 0
23
Types
•
•
•
•
int, integer
float, double, real
string
bool, boolean
–
•
•
•
true, false
array
object
resource
–
external, e.g. database
•
NULL

casts
settype()
24
Arrays
• start at index 0
• access via [index]
• initialized by list of values in array(list)
– e.g., my $courses = array(313, 415, 413);
• count(array) returns the length of array
• assigning a value to the array appends it at the end
• associative arrays
– like hash tables, mapping from keys to values, set of (key, value) entries
– elements can be created using =>
• e.g., my $grades = array("313" => "A", "415" => "A+");
25
Iteration through Arrays
• an array has an internal pointer to the current element
– reset(array) sets the pointer to 0
– key(array) returns the index of the pointer
– next(array) increments the pointer
• foreach ($array as $key => $value) statement
– iterates through $array, in each step assigns
• the current index to $key
• the value of the current element to $value
• $key => is optional
26
Form Processing
• PHP has buit-in "superglobal" associative arrays that hold
– user input
– the environment variables
– the web server attributes
• server-side scripts can access form data sent as part of client's request
• $_GET and $_POST
– arrays with info sent to the server by HTTP get and post requests
• method = "post"
– appends form data to the browser request
– it contains the protocol and the requested resource’s URL
27
PHP Access to MySQL
• mysql_connect() connects to MySQL
– parameters: the server’s hostname, a username and a password
– returns a database handle or false if the connection fails
• mysql_select_db() selects the database to be queried
– returns a true if it was successful, false otherwise
• mysql_query() executes a SQL statement string
– not only SELECT query, but also INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE
statement
– if SELECT query, returns the result of the query, or false if the query
fails
• mysql_fetch_row() returns the current row in the query's result
– the row is an array of the values in subsequent columns
– advances the current row
• mysql_error() returns any error strings from the database.
• mysql_close() closes the database connection
28
Sample PHP MySQL Code
<html><head> <!-- ... -->
</head><body>
<?php
extract ($_POST);
$query = "SELECT author, title, isbn FROM books";
if (! ($database = mysql_connect ("localhost", "user", "password"))) { //
die ("Can't use database. </body></html>");
}
if (! mysql_select_db ("books", $database)) {
//
die ("Can't use books database. </body></html>");
}
if (! ($result = mysql_query ($query, $database))) {
//
die (Can't search; Error: " . mysql_error () . "</body></html>");
}
mysql_close ($database);
?><!– end of PHP script -->
<h3>Search Results</h3>
<table>
<?php // insert all records in result set of the query into the table
for ($i = 0; $row = mysql_fetch_row ($result); $i++) { // display record
print ("<tr>");
foreach ($row as $key => $value) {print ("<td>$value</td>");}
print ("</tr>");
}
?>
