PHP - Php Full Text Search

Hello,

Okay for some reason i cannot do this, when i open a file in php and search for string, it doesn't seem to work, some codes i tried:

Code: [Select]
$filename = 'example.txt';
$searchfor = 'hello';
$fh = fopen($filename, 'r');
$olddata = fread($fh, filesize($filename));
if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) {
           //fount it
}
else {
          //can't find it
}
fclose($fh);
(above it just sample text, i was hoping you could give me sample code that will work)

I tried many others like strstr, stristr, preg_replace etc etc, doesn't seem to find it.. this is my text file:

Code: [Select]
sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf[b]hello[/b]sdvsdf
dfadfsdfsdfsddfsdf
sdfsdfsdfs
sdffffffffffffffffffffdv
vsvdsdsf

I don't want to find it by line, i want to simply open the text file and find the string..

thanks..

Hey guys... since im new enough to php, i was wondering if someone could talk me through this one.

i have three radio buttons.. allowing the user to search by age, area and skill level.. age and area have a text box and skill level has a drop down box.

If the user was to select one of the radio buttons and enter/select a value.. how would the if statement work to search the db?

I know how to open a connection, but not exactly sure how to structure this one.

Hello all brilliant minds,

I'm a new in all this world of DB and coding and always i tried to avoid it because I think it is very hard (I'm trying to change now).

problem: I have a text file (log.txt) have data like below

===================================================
Then I have SQL DB that have column with "rtrv-ls" and "rtrv-sid"

Requirement :

A) Use Php to open the .txt file, I used HTML form so the user can upload the file on the browser then
B) Search for the column name as pattern
C)Send query to MYSQL to update DB with Data for each column
D) Query the Mysql for several possible outputs (I've done this part using HTML form and simple php code as below.

<?php

// If we got a GET request on the page from HTML part of the code, we will want to store the data in a variable e.g $my_country
// So country will be passed via GET and will be stored in $my_country variable.

$host="localhost";
$con_usr="aomar";
$con_pass="nokia";

if ($_POST)   {
            $user_input = $_POST['my_log'] ;

// We use the request to search in Database and return the result, First step we need to connect to the database //

                $connect = mysql_connect ($host,$con_usr,$con_pass);
   
// Then we need to select database to run the query and return the result the connection stored in the $connect ressource //
   
if ($connect) {
              mysql_select_db("eagle",$connect);

// We store the query in variable $query becuase is it quite long text; we actually attach our varaiable $my_log passed from HTML //
         
              $query = "SELECT `".$user_input."` FROM `ss7`";

         //$update="INSERT INTO ss7 ('".$user_input."') VLAUES (';


// SO if user selected Egypt it will be stored in (name=my_country) variable from HTML and will be send via GET
// Then we store the query results in a variable called $result      
       
          $result = mysql_query ($query) ;
   

 $arr= mysql_fetch_array($result);
 
       
         echo nl2br ($arr["$user_input"]);
 
 
//Finally we return what we want from the array.
// Print the output as we wish. in case of row data like STP output, use the nl2br to preserve the output as it was written to MYSQL DB
// We need to check if the Query return no value (!$arr) , and print corresponding action

     
 
 
   
}
//================SECONED PART WHEN I LOAD THE LOG FILE TO BE STORED IN MYSQL================//


   
//close the db
mysql_close ($connect);
}
?>

*** Sorry for the many comments but I want to be sure I remember why I do that .

You help is much appreciated
(Please note that need to understand more than I need the Code itself)

 The result pages is supposed to have  pagination like google  help me please

 

I require a page to be added to my website. This page will facilitate a refined search via Google, Bing and Yahoo search engine simultaneously , show the top 5 of each engine.

Is this possible using php ?

Thank's

Hello,

Does anyone know a tutorial I can follow to create my own search engine over the items I have in my SQL database?
I find a lot of tutorials but they are all 'one word searches' which means if you type two words you will get all results that contain either word (too many hits).

If the search engine tutorial displays result with AJAX even better.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

I need to send automated HTML emails with PHP for my web-server. I have SMTP with Postfix and Sendmail. When i send an email, it just goes to the spam folder of the mail client (tried with GMAIL as well as Microsoft outlook). Could i have the code for sending emails so they don't go to the spam folder. With full headers, etc.

Thanks a lot,

Jack

I'm looking for a way to get the full url of the current page.  something like $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but the full thing.  request uri doesn't work well for my situation, because my script is in a subdirectory of a domain.  http://localhost/script.  When I use request uri, it also includes "/script", which it should.  Is there anyway to request the full URL?

I want to build a CMS system using php cake. I want pages to be created dynamically rather than have a set of static pages calling data dynamically. Is this going to be a complex operation using php cake? 

I am trying to include my full url on my site. example /index.php?page=demo   On my local server this bit of code worked fine.   $active = "$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";   however on my live server it returns blank, i think maybe due to the fact that its a windows server ?   php self works, but only returns index.php and not the full ?page=demo url   $active = ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);   does anyone know how i can work around this?   Thanks

Hello,

I'm developing a website that asks the user to submit a keyword for a search. The results should display matches for this keyword, but also show matches for related keywords (in order of relevenace!).

I'm planning on building up a library of which search terms users use in the same sessions (e.g. if someone searches for "it jobs" and "php jobs", I'll know the terms are correlated), and I'll also measure the click-through rates of the items on the results list.

I've been spending all weekend trying to map out the design for this but it's proving incredibly complicated and I think the solution is likely to be on the internet somewhere already?!

Please could someone point me in the right direction if you've come accross this problem before?

Thanks a million,

Stu

I have code to search a database of members, I can search by lastname but having a little problem. I want to be able to search by lastname starting with the first letter. (ie:  a or b or c or d and so on). As it is right now I can only search by first letter of last name if I add % to the search (ie: a% b% c%) will give me all members with the last names starting with the approiate letter designation. I'm not sure how to handle this, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. I am working on a php script for searching a database table. I am really new to this, so I used the this tutorial http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/simple-sql-search

I managed to get all the things working the way I wanted, except one important and crucial thing.
Let me explain.
My table consist of three columns, like this:

ID(bigint20)    title(text)        link (varchar255)
=============================
ID1                title1                link-1
ID2                title2                link-2
etc...

Like I said, I managed to make the script display results for a search query based on the title. Want I want it to do more, but I can't seem to find the right resource to learn how, is to place a "Download" button under each search result with its corresponding link from the table.

Here is the code I used.

<?php

$dbHost = 'localhost'; // localhost will be used in most cases
// set these to your mysql database username and password.
$dbUser = 'user'; 
$dbPass = 'pass';
$dbDatabase = 'db'; // the database you put the table into.
$con = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to MySQL Server. Error: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbDatabase) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to database {$dbDatabase}. Error: " . mysql_error());
// Set up our error check and result check array
$error = array();
$results = array();
// First check if a form was submitted. 
// Since this is a search we will use $_GET
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
   $searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']);
   $searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript.
   
   if (strlen($searchTerms) < 3) {
      $error[] = "Search terms must be longer than 3 characters.";
   }else {
      $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection.
   }
   
   // If there are no errors, lets get the search going.
   if (count($error) < 1) {
      $searchSQL = "SELECT title, link FROM db WHERE title LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'";

      $searchResult = mysql_query($searchSQL) or trigger_error("There was an error.<br/>" . mysql_error() . "<br />SQL Was: {$searchSQL}");
      
      if (mysql_num_rows($searchResult) < 1) {
         $error[] = "The search term provided {$searchTerms} yielded no results.";
      }else {
         $results = array(); // the result array
         $i = 1;
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) {
            $results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> Download - this is the button I want to link to the title results - and maybe other links too - <br /> ";

    $i++;

       

   
         }
      
      }
   }
}

function removeEmpty($var) {
   return (!empty($var)); 


}
?>

      <?php echo (count($error) > 0)?"The following had errors:<br /><span id=\"error\">" . implode("<br />", $error) . "</span><br /><br />":""; ?>
      <form method="GET" action="search?" name="searchForm">
         Search for title: <input type="text" name="search" value="<?php echo isset($searchTerms)?htmlspecialchars($searchTerms):''; ?>" />
        
         <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
      </form>

    <?php echo (count($results) > 0)?"Rezultate lucrari de licenta sau disertatie pentru {$searchTerms} :<br /><br />" . implode("", $results):""; ?>




 $results = array(); // the result array
         $i = 1;
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) {
            $results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> Download - this is the button I want to link to the title results - and maybe other links too - <br /> ";

    $i++;

 
I would like the results to be displayed like this

Results for SearchItem:

Result 1
Download | Other link
Result 2
Download | Other link
etc.... or something like this.

So, how do I add the data from the link row into a text(Dowload), within an <a href> tag (well, at least I guess it would go this way) ?
My first tries (fueled by my lack of knowledge) where things like

$results[] = "{$row['title']}<br /> <a href="{$row['link']}">Download</a> <br /> ";

but I keep getting lots of errors, and then I don't know much about arrays and stuff (except basic notions);
So there it is. I am really stuck and can't seem to find any workaround for this.
Any suggestions? (examples, documentation, anything would do, really)
Thanks,
Radu

Hi all

How do I modify the below code to search multiple tables in mySQL database?

$query = "select * from store_items where description like \"%$trimmed%\"  or title like \"%$trimmed%\" or dimensions like \"%$trimmed%\" order by id ASC";

 $numresults=mysql_query($query);
 $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);

It is for a search function and I need it to search another table called 'about_text' and 'faq_text'

Thanks
Pete

I am developing a intranet forum in Php and MySQL and I am using ajax to display searched results on the same page but right now I am using query LIKE text% to search in database which is slower. but I want to make it fast search engin which can parse *,+ and show result.

Since I am using ajax i am not able to use free search engin,so if possible pls provide a complete solution
