Phoenix/Accessing Bugzilla Data
You can access the Bugzilla database from within your PHP scripts by using the Database API. For data integrity reasons, this access is read-only. Please note that before using this code, you must register the URL of your PHP page with the eclipse.org webmaster, or it will not work!
<?php
# # Sample PHP code to issue a Bugzilla query. # #
# :::::PLEASE NOTE::::: # The bugzilla database is very large, and some long-running queries can affect the performance # of bugs.eclipse.org # We suggest you don't use these queries in "publicly accessible" web pages, or if your queries # are for statistical/aggregation purposes, run them once a day and post the results of the query in a static web page. # Queries that run for more than 5 minutes are killed by the SQL server.
# simplisticly silly way of preventing the page from being accessed by just anybody. # Linking to page.php?password=abc123 obviously defeats the whole purpose of this. $_PASSWORD = $_GET['password']; if($_PASSWORD == "abc123") {
# Please note: some columns are not SELECTable, such as the password and e-mail address.
# They will return an error.
