PHP - Need Help With Sorting Results After A Search
I have a page that I am using to search a database. Basically what I want to do is allow the end user to sort by column headings after the search results are returned. The sort code that I am using works fine on a "lesser complicated" page that does not involve $_GET variables. I am not sure however if I adapted it properly. Also, I am having problems adding the new $_GET variables to the URL string when the user chooses to sort the returned search results. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. My code is below:
Code: [Select] <?php //////////////////// INITIATE SESSION //////////////////// if (!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } //////////////////// ALLOW ACCESS ONLY TO ADMINISTRATORS //////////////////// if ($_SESSION['person_priveleges'] == 0) { header("location:index.php"); } //////////////////// CONNECT AND SELECT DATABASE //////////////////// require_once('connect.php'); mysql_select_db($database, $connect); //////////////////// GET STATES //////////////////// $state = mysql_query("SELECT state_abbreviation FROM state ORDER BY state_abbreviation ASC", $connect); $data_state = mysql_fetch_assoc($state); $rows_state = mysql_num_rows($state); //////////////////// GET USER SEARCH RESULTS //////////////////// if (array_key_exists('search', $_GET)) { $error = array(); if ((empty($_GET['last_name_search'])) && (empty($_GET['organization_search'])) && (empty($_GET['state_search'])) && (empty($_GET['payment_status']))) { $error['search'] = "Please enter at least one search parameter."; } else { $search = "SELECT * FROM person"; $where = false; if (isset($_GET['last_name_search']) && !empty($_GET['last_name_search'])) { $last_name_search = $_GET['last_name_search']; $search .= " WHERE person_last_name LIKE '%$last_name_search%'"; $where = true; } if (isset($_GET['organization_search']) && !empty($_GET['organization_search'])) { $organization_search = $_GET['organization_search']; if ($where) { $search .= ' AND '; } else { $search .= ' WHERE '; $where = true; } $search .= " person_organization LIKE '%$organization_search%'"; } if (isset($_GET['state_search']) && !empty($_GET['state_search'])) { $state_search = $_GET['state_search']; if ($where) { $search .= ' AND '; } else { $search .= ' WHERE '; $where = true; } $search .= " person_state LIKE '%$state_search%'"; } if (isset($_GET['payment_status']) && !empty($_GET['payment_status'])) { $payment_search = $_GET['payment_status']; if ($where) { $search .= ' AND '; } else { $search .= ' WHERE '; $where = true; } $search .= " person_paid LIKE '%$payment_search%'"; } if (isset($_GET['sort'])) { $sort = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['sort']); if (strcasecmp($sort, "DESC") == 0) { $new_sort = "ASC"; } else { $new_sort = "DESC"; } } else { $sort = "ASC"; $new_sort = "DESC"; } if (isset($_GET['order'])) { $order = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['order']); $search .= " AND person_priveleges = 0 ORDER BY $order"; if (strcasecmp($sort, "DESC") == 0) { $search .= " DESC"; } else { $search .= " ASC"; } } else { $search .= " AND person_priveleges = 0 ORDER BY person_last_name"; $query_search = mysql_query($search, $connect) or die(mysql_error()); $result_search = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_search); $number_search = mysql_num_rows($query_search); $count = 0; } } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

the query is supposed to do the following 1)find the nearest city from the database the query does that but when im printing the div i am unable to sort the results based on the nearest to the city searched. I have tried orderby and all that stuff but in vain Thanks Say I have a table called artists with these fields (artistid, rank).
Then say I have an array called $rankadjustments with a value for each artist (like 1, 7, 3,-3, 5, 9, etc).
I am doing a MYSQL query that gets the info from artists table and sorts according to the rank field like this...
$sql = "SELECT * FROM artists ORDER BY rank";Easy enough. But what if I would like to bring that data back sorted by (rank + rankadjustment). For example, if the artist ranked 1st had a rank of "1" from mysql, but had a rankadjustment of "5" from the rankadjustment array, his "true" rank would be "6". Again, rankadjustment is NOT a field in my table, otherwise it would obviously be simple. It's calculated on the fly and stored in an array. FYI, the array has an index with their "artistid". For example, $rankadjustment[341][8] would be the artist with an artistid of "341" has a rank adjustment of 8. Is there a way to do this IN the query itself? It doesn't seem possible but wanted to find out for sure. If not, what is best way to do? I assume... Get the data sorted JUST by rank and put it all into an array, then create a new array that adds rank to rankadjustment and reorder by the "new" rank amount? I guess that wouldn't be too bad but again, wanted to make sure I'm not missing something that would allow me to do it all in the query (or just more efficiently). Thanks! Edited by galvin, 21 December 2014 - 09:13 PM. 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 am trying to write a script that will allow me visitors to my site to search my database for items. I followed a tutorial that I had found and tweaked it to fit my needs. I am not getting any results it keeps telling that there was no search results found. Even though I have the items that I have been testing on in my database. I have two files the main search.php file and the search_func.php file Here is the search.php file Code: [Select] <form method='post' action='search.php'> <fieldset> <input type='text' name='search' id='search' value='type name here'/> <input type='submit' name='search_submit' id='search_submit' value='search'/> </fieldset> </form> <?php include('includes/search_func.php'); if(isset($_POST['search'])) { $keywords = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(trim($_POST['search']))); $errors = array (); if (empty($keywords )){ $errors[] = 'Please enter a search term'; } else if (strlen($keywords ) < 3 ) { $errors[] = 'Search term must be more then three characters long'; } else if (search_results($keywords == false)) { $errors[] = 'Your search for ' .$keywords . ' showed no results'; } if (empty($errors)) { $results = search_results($keywords ); $results_num = count($results); $suffix = ($results_num != 1) ? 's' : ''; echo 'Your search for <strong>'. $keywords .'</strong> returned <strong>' .$results_num.'</strong> result'.$suffix.''; foreach($results as $result) { echo $result['first']; } } else { foreach($errors as $error){ echo $error; } } } ?> Here is the search_func.php file Code: [Select] <?php include('includes/config.php'); connect(); function search_results($keywords ) { $returned = array(); $where = ""; $keywords = preg_split('/[\s+]/', $keywords ); $total = count($keywords ); foreach($keywords as $key=>$keyword) { $where .= "`l_name` LIKE '%$keyword%'"; if($key != ($total - 1)){ $where .= "OR"; } } $results = "SELECT `l_name`,`f_name`,`image`,`item_return` FROM `ttmautos` WHERE $where"; $results_num = ($results = mysql_query($results)) ? mysql_num_rows($results): 0 ; if ($results_num === 0) { return false; } else { while($results_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $returned_results[] = array( 'last' => $results_row['l_name'], 'first' => $results_row['f_name'], 'image' => $results_row['image'], 'item' => $results_row['item_return'] ); } return $returned_results; } } ?> If anyone could give me an idea of what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it. Hi, I have a problem if users search something which doesn't match the data in the table I'm selecting from. At the moment I'm trying this code: Code: [Select] <?php require_once('inc/global.inc.php'); # search.inc.php /* * This is the search content module. * This page is included by index.php. * This page expects to receive $_GET['terms']. */ // Redirect if this page was accessed directly: if (!defined('BASE_URL')) { // Need the BASE_URL, defined in the config file: require_once ('../includes/config.inc.php'); // Redirect to the index page: $url = BASE_URL .

"" returned zero results</p>"; } Is there another way I can display no search matched results?

For a project I'm doing, I would like to display search results with an image, small description, then a 'read more' link. After googling this issue, I can't find much information on it, which surprised me. Someone did mention blobs for images... (whatever they are!) I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials, or has any code to do this? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks. Okay, I'm wanting to do a search, but until return the info if it has a specific indicator in the chosen field. Let me show you: $query = doquery("SELECT * FROM `orgs` IF `type`='c' ORDER BY name", "orgs"); How do I do that "IF" bit? Obviously this doesn't work. Thanks! Good Evening, I've been in a trial and error state for the past week trying to figure out how I can put on the pre-made pagination scripts I found on the web, but of no luck. I have just started programming like two weeks ago, and is still trying to understand logics and stuffs so I can get my desired output. So far, everything is doing well except for one - I am really having a hard time to incorporate pagination scripts with my code. To rank myself as a php programmer, I can say I am lower than one, and seemingly, what I want to achieve is an advanced code. Can anyone help me on what pagination code I should try to play with and incorporate with my code? Here's my code so far: <?PHP include("dbconnection.php"); //Include database connection to file $query = "SELECT * FROM records"; if(isset($_POST["btnSearch"])) { $query .= " WHERE last_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' OR first_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR territory LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR job_title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR employer LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' ORDER BY territory ASC LIMIT 0,15" ; $result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die(mysql_error()); } ?> <!-- Start of table --> <table width="760" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <!-- Table data containing the Asia Logo --> <td width="199" align="center" valign="top"> <a href="login.html"> <img src="asia.gif" alt="" width="152" height="58" border="0" /> </a> </td> <!-- Table data containing Home button --> <td width="176" align="right" valign="bottom"> <a href="main.php"> <img src="Home.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </a> </td> <!-- Table data containing View Client button --> <td width="130" align="right" valign="bottom"> <img src="View.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </td> <!-- Table data containing the Add Client button --> <td width="146" align="right" valign="bottom"> <a href="add_client.php"> <img src="Add.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </a> </td> <!-- Blank table data --> <td width="109" align="right" valign="bottom"> </td> </table> <!-- Table design division and body--> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td width="200" height="3" bgcolor="#1B1C78"> <img src="images/topspacerblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> <td width="560" bgcolor="#0076CC"> <img src="images/topspacerlblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> <tr> <td height="500" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3FAFE"> <!-- Page contents --> <!-- Search Query --> <br> <form name="form" action="view_client.php" method="post"> <table width="351" border="0"> <tr> <td width="137" align="left" valign="middle"> SEARCH RECORD: </td> <td width="144" align="center" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="search" /> </td> <td width="56" align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" /> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <!-- End of search query--> <!-- Start of Search Results--> <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="38619E" > <tr> <th width="80" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Territory</th> <th width="330" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Employer</th> <th width="160" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Name</th> <th width="80" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#E0E8F3"> </th> </tr> <?php if($result) { for($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) { $id = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "id")); $territory = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "territory")); $employer = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "employer")); $first_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "first_name")); $last_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "last_name")); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$territory."</td>"; echo "<td>".$employer."</td>"; echo "<td>".$last_name.", ".$first_name."</td>"; echo "<td><a href='edit_client.php?id=".$id."'>edit</a> | <a href='delete_client.php?id=".$id."'>delete</a></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } } ?> </table> </form> <!-- End of page --> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <tr> <td height="38"> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td width="200" height="35" align="center" bgcolor="#1B1C78" class=white> <a href="disclaimer.html"> <font color="#FFFFFF">Legal Disclaimer</font> </a> </td> <td width="560" align="center" bgcolor="#0076CC"> Copyright © 2006 - 2010 Asia.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks I'm new to php and been trying to follow along with different tutorials to try and build my own site, i followed a tutorial on making a search feature for the site and have it working perfectly, but i want to change the way how to search displays the results. I want to make it display them how there displayed on the index page. here is the index page how there displayed <div id="table"> <table> <tr class="top"> <th>Account</th> <th>Country</th> <th>Info</th> <th>Login</th> <th>Pass</th> <th>Price</th> <th>Buy</th> </tr> <?php $class = 'grey'; ?> <?php $items = getItems(); ?> <?php if(empty ($items)): ?> <h3>No Items Found</h3> <?php else: ?> <?php foreach($items as $item): ?> <?php $class = ($class == 'grey') ?

'<br />' . maskPass($itemPass, 0) . '<br />'; } } } my question is im not sure how to edit the search code to display the results in the same format as the index page thanks Complete beginner here so just really looking for pointers on where to start. Been doing a bit of bug fixing on one of our sites because the past 3 programmers we've hired have disappeared on us. The big issue I'm looking to solve is the load time of a search. Our website (Love-Rugs) is taking about 6 or 7 seconds to perform a blank search (basically a quick browse) whereas out other site (Little-Persia) takes about a second. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the initial search but going from one page (only 10 products listed per page) to the next takes the same amount of time. There seems to be an awful lot of queries (around 130-150) on the searches - however - when using some of the search options e.g. type and fabric to refine the search the queries actually stay high but the time to process the results is reduced significantly. I don't really understand why if the queries are still high the search time is much lower unless it's to do with the number of results returned. However this does not explain why Little-Persia (which has far more products on it) takes less time as there would obviously be more results. I realize that without code this isn't easy to answer so I'm just looking to see if someone can point me in the right direction to look at just now. Hi, I have been trying for 2 days to get this to work. I am trying to put in a list of search keywords in the form, run a LIKE query on the database, and echo out all of the matching terms. Please if someone could please show me how to echo out this information I would be very grateful. Thank you. Code: [Select] <?php $host = ""; $database = ""; $username = ""; $password = ""; $tbl_name = "users"; $conn = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($database); include('bouncer.php'); $currentUser = $_SESSION['myusername']; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $first = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['first']); $last = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['last']); $dob = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['dob']); $gender = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['gender']); $ethnic = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['ethnic']); $country = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['country']); $state = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['state']); $town = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['town']); $zip = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['zip']); $email = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['email']); $hobbies = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['hobbies']); $job = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['job']); $business = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['business']); $religion = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['religion']); $social = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['social']); $political = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['political']); $affiliations = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['affiliations']); $buying = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['buying']); $selling = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['selling']); $likes = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['likes']); $dislikes = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['dislikes']); $links = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['links']); //THE SEARCH FUNCTION $result = mysql_query ( "SELECT * FROM users WHERE dob LIKE '%$dob%' OR gender LIKE '%$gender%' OR race LIKE '%$ethnic%' OR job LIKE '%$job%' OR country LIKE '%$country%' OR state LIKE '%$state%' OR town LIKE '%$town%' OR zip LIKE'%$zip%' OR hobbies LIKE'%hobbies%' OR business LIKE '%$business%' OR religion LIKE'%$religion%' OR social_groups LIKE '%$social%' OR political_groups LIKE'%$political%' OR other_affiliations LIKE ' %$affiliations%' OR buying LIKE '%$buying%' OR selling LIKE '%$selling%' OR links LIKE '%$links%' OR likes LIKE '%$likes%' OR dislikes LIKE'%$dislikes%'"); if (!$result) { echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error(); exit; } $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); echo $row[0]; echo $row[1]; // I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. } ?> <html> <body> <p>Login Successful</p> <p> </p> <form action="login_success6.php" method="post"> <p> <input type="text" name="first" size="20" /> First name<br /> <input type="text" name="last" size="20" /> Last name<br /> <input name="dob" type="text" size="20" id="dob" /> Date of Birth<br /> <input type="text" name="gender" size="20" id="gender" /> Gender <br /> <input type="text" name="ethnic" size="20" id="ethnic" /> Ethnicity <br /> <input type="text" name="country" size="20" id="country" /> Country<br /> <input type="text" name="state" size="20" id="state" /> State<br /> <input type="text" name="town" size="20" id="town" /> Town<br /> <input type="text" name="zip" size="20" id="zip" /> Zip Code<br /> <br /> <input type="text" name="email" size="40" id="email" /> Email<br /> <textarea name="job" cols="40" id="job"></textarea> Job<br /> <textarea name="business" cols="40" id="business"></textarea> Business<br /> <input type="text" name="religion" size="60" id="religion" /> Religion</p> <p><br /> <textarea name="social" cols="100" id="social"></textarea> Social Groups<br /> <textarea name="political" cols="100" id="political"></textarea> Political groups<br /> <textarea name="affiliations" cols="100" id="affiliations"></textarea> Other Affiliations<br /> <textarea name="buying" cols="100" id="buying"></textarea> Items I am buying<br /> <textarea name="selling" cols="100" id="selling"></textarea> Items I am selling<br /> <textarea name="likes" cols="100" id="likes"></textarea> My likes <br /> <textarea name="dislikes" cols="100" id="dislikes"></textarea> My dislikes <br /> <textarea name="links" cols="100" id="links"></textarea> My links <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Store in database and search" /> <input type="reset" value="Reset fields" /> </p> </p> </form> </body> </html> hello. i have a search box that will display some results. I also have a drop down list with values "1" and "2". the values for each results are stored into database in a "req" field. Code: [Select] <select name="req" id="req"> <option value="1">yes</option> <option value="2">no</option> </select> $sql = 'SELECT * FROM topic WHERE (Title LIKE '."'%$search1%') AND req='1' what am i missing. thanks I added a search form on my site but I cannot figure out how to add links to the search results.
The results are being posted as the item name and the item pages look like this used-product.php?Item=102
I am not understanding how I can have that url match up with my item name.
Here is my results.php code
In the header
<?php include_once('mysql_connect.php');
if (!isset($_POST['search'])) {
header ("Location:index.php");
}
$search_sql="SELECT * FROM new_equip WHERE itemname LIKE '% " .$_POST ['search'] . " %'";
$search_query=mysql_query($search_sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($search_query)!=0) {
$search_rs=mysql_fetch_assoc($search_query);
}
?>
and where the results are being displayed
<?phpif (mysql_num_rows($search_query)!=0){
do {?>
<p><a href="new-product.php?Item=<?php echo $eid; ?>"><?php echo $search_rs ['itemname']?></a></p>
<?php } while ($search_rs=mysql_fetch_assoc($search_query)) ;
} else {
echo "No Results Found";
}
?>
I have been on this and trying to figure out another issue I am having and I cannot figure out either of them. (The other is deleting a row from a table with the click of a link)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated it. I have looked and trial and error all day and I cannot seem to get it.
Hi All,
I need to get a small function working for a site I need to build for a group of friends.
I was able to get a login page, and a way to add data to the data base.
Now I am stuck on the search and show results fuctionalities.
I have found tens of scripts on the internet, but most of them are outdated, or I cant get them to work, either it sends me back a blank page, does nothing or sends me to an error page
The GOAL
User Inputs text in a text box, clicks submit, the data in the text box is looked for in the second collumn of the DB, The information of the collumns 2 to 7 of the DB for the name search are displayed either on the same page or on a new page.
Is there any chance you could hel me with that, taken into account that I dont need the html part of the code, I only need help with the php part...
Thanks in advance to all the people reading this and the ones helping me...
Hello. I am having a hard time building my own search results page for my mysql database. Basically I am trying to search for game categories from the fldCategory field in the table, and display 15 results at a time in an HTML table with the Image of the games (fldIconMedium), and the titles of the games (fldTitle) placed in to the table. Also, at the bottom of the table would have a number bar that you can click on numbers to go to the next set of search results in the same page. The number bar would have Previous and Next button. For the code I am using, I had help from another expert. I thank him, but here is the code I have so far. =========================== =========================== <?php $cat=1; $nor=15; $a=1; if(isset($_GET['cat'])) { } else { $_GET['cat']=1; } echo $_GET['cat']; $con=mysql_connect("host","nusername","password") or die ("error"); $db=mysql_select_db("database",$con) or die("Database not found!"); $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die ("query error"); echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>ImageIcon</th><th>Title</th></tr>"; $r=mysql_num_rows($result); echo $r."<br/>"; $p=ceil($r/$nor); //echo $p; while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if($a>($_GET['cat']-1)*$nor) { echo "<tr><td>".$rows['fldIconMedium']."</td><td>".$rows['fldTitle']."</td></tr>"; } $a=$a+1; } echo "</table>"; for($i=1;$i<=$p;$i++) { if($i==$_GET['cat']) { echo $i; } else { echo "<a href='gameslist.php?cat=".$i."'>".$i."</a>"; } } ?> =========================== =========================== To see this code in action, heres the link http://netroxy.com/gameslist.php?cat=skills. > Not working well. I am expecting the games search results page to look like this: http://netroxy.com/51274581336/search.htm So basically its: - viewing how many games found for game category, ex: Skills. Or Action, Mind, etc.. - the URL containing 'gameslist.php?cat=' with the given ID category at the end should search for that given category and display at least 15 games per results, along the number bar bellow, which counts how many are found from that category, which automatically increases or decreases the number bar bellow depending how many games from that specific category was found. I also forgot to mention that I did not add the Previous and Next button, which i dont know how - As for the 15 results per page, its basically 15 images (fldIconMedium) of different games of the same category, with their Titles (fldTitle) underneath them and both image and title should have the LINK to that specific game by retrieving the links from the 'fldLink' column where all the links of the games are found. Thanks all! |
