PHP - Need Help In Searching Mysql Db Using Php!!!
Dear All,
Greetings! I am a student and have a final semester project of making a php based form to search a database. Database is already created: Username: test password: test1 Details: DB Name: resume_bank, Table Name: Candidate Table contents: Name, Phone, Address, DOB, Gender, Designation, experience_yrs, experience_months, Employment_Status I need the code which would give the user an option to search using AND, OR, ALL functions. Friends please help. The form should look like: Enter the Designation you are looking for: Enter the experience: Yrs___ Months___ Select Gender: The result must come in another webpage which has numbered display results, like page-1, page-2, page3... PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!!!!!!! ANY BODY HAS READY MADE CODE PLEASE SEND IT!!!!!! Thanks. Similar Tutorialsim trying to crete a page that will search mysql for entrys from ??? days previous. ive not started on the php yet as i wanted to get the query done but im having a slight problem. date is in dd/mm/yyyy format. if i run this query SELECT * FROM `dsgi_serval` WHERE date >= '10/09/2010' it ONLY sorts by DD and not MM or YYYY, so anything greater than the 10th of the month shows regardless of what month. when i get to the php ill either do a drop down box with a preset number or days or a text box where u enter the number of days or even a txt box u enter the actual day u want to search from. im undecided which would be best. another problem i face with the php is how to tell the script to search from ? ?? when it says search from the past 3 days? <?php $date = date("d/m/y"); // todays date 04/12/2010 $_post= 3 days; // search from 01/12/2010 $date - $_post = $search; // 01/12/2010; $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name" where date >= '$search'; echo the results ?> i no the above is not proper php but i hope it saya what im trying to do. Thanks Hey guys, im trying to select only certain rows that matchs the address in a array. Not sure how to do this This is making the array $siege_check3 = "SELECT address FROM planets WHERE siege='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['goauld'])."'"; $siege_check2 = mysql_query($siege_check3) or die(mysql_error()); $arr = array(); while($siege_check1 = mysql_fetch_array($siege_check2)) { $siege_planets = $siege_check1['address']; $arr[] = $siege_planets; } Then I want to AND grab rows where defender_planet equals one of the address in the array above tried using in_array but telling me its not a valid function $alert3 = "SELECT * FROM travel WHERE defender_id = '" .($_SESSION['user_id'])."' AND stance = 2 AND stealth_tech < '".($stealth_tech)."' AND address= in_array(defender_planet,$arr) ORDER BY arrived_time DESC"; $alert2 = mysql_query($alert3) or die(mysql_error()); while($alert1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($alert2)) { } Hello, I am working on a project and I cant seem to get this to work. I have a database (Kingsbury) that stores a contact list. I am trying to make an page were a user can search the database by state. The code from the HTML site is: Code: [Select] <form action = "sqlllist.php" method="post"><br /> Please enter the state you would like to search: <input type="text" name="state" /><br /> <p><input type="submit" value="Enter" /></p> </form> And then from the .php file Code: [Select] <?php $DBConnect = mysql_connect("*****", "*****", "********"); if ($DBConnect===FALSE) echo "<p>Connection Failed!.</p>\n"; else { $State == $_POST['state']; $Result = mysql_select_db("Kingsbury", $DBConnect); $queryresult = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE State = $State'", $DBConnect); echo "<table width='100%' border='1'>\n"; echo "<tr><th>User ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Address</th> <th>State</th> <th>City</th> <th>Zip Code</th> <th>Area Code</th> <th>Phone Number</th>\n"; While (($Row = mysql_fetch_row($queryresult)) !== FALSE) { echo "<tr><td>{$Row[0]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[1]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[2]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[3]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[4]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[5]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[6]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[7]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[8]}</td>"; } echo "</table>\n"; mysql_free_result($queryresult); mysql_close($DBConnect); } ?> This, to me seems like it should be working, but it outputs the entire database. Hi there,
I'm a bit of a newbie and I have done a search online, but i'm still confused.
I need to search my MYSQL database in a filed named date_mod I need to search for todays date only $date=gmdate("Y-m-d");
But however the field is a datetime option so how can I search only todays date and not both date and time.
Thank you for reading.
I have a form passing user's search term, ie name. $pname = mysql_real_escape_string($pname; Not sure on proper syntax to include this in my select statement. I also want it to return for partial string matched, like 'mik' for 'mike': $result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM guest WHERE name like '$pname'" ); This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=322398.0 I'm trying to do something that I thought was very simple about 2 weeks ago :-( I want to put a form on my site and link it to a database so when a user types a surname into the form they can search the db and the page will only display the surnames that match the search criteria. I got the db set up using phpmyadmin in about 2 minutes flat, but keep getting error messages when I write the php. I'm currently working with the below script, which keeps giving me the error 'unexpected T_string' on line 176 I've searched every forum and help site I can find, and the mysql and php manuals are just mind-boggling. I'm sure I'm making some really amateur mistake, but I'd really appreciate help with this! thanks all! <html> <head> <title>SEARCH RECORDS</title> </head> <body> <FORM NAME ="Search" METHOD ="POST" ACTION = "test3"> <INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" VALUE ="surname" NAME = "surname"> <INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Search" VALUE = "Search"> </FORM> </body> </html> <? $user_name = "*****"; $password = "*****"; $database = "*****"; $server = "localhost"; $db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password); $db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle); if ($db_found) { $SQL = "SELECT * FROM *****" WHERE surname=$_POST['surname']; $result = mysql_query($SQL); while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { print $db_field['Grave'] . "<BR>"; print $db_field['Surname'] . "<BR>"; print $db_field['Forenames'] . "<BR>"; print $db_field['Death_Date'] . "<BR>"; print $db_field['Birth_Year'] . "<BR>"; } mysql_close($db_handle); } else { print "Database NOT Found "; mysql_close($db_handle); } ?> So I've full text indexed the columns I want searchable: I have some rows inserted: Yet when I run a match() against(), I get 0 results: If I do: Code: [Select] SELECT * FROM video WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('test') I get 2 results. Why does that work, yet keywords don't? Ok I have a set of PDF files that i need to be searchable. My question how do i go about doing this. Can this be achieved with php or do a need to do something else? I'm having some trouble with a GET search code; everything works until the stringresult but then it dies to Error Querying Database Code: [Select] <html> <body> <?php //Get sort setting and search terms from URL with GET $usersearch = $_GET['usersearch']; echo 'Search word: ' . $usersearch; echo '<br>'; require_once("dbvars.php"); //Connect to Database $dbc = mysqli_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PW, DB_NAME) or die ("Error connecting to database."); //Build the Query $query = "SELECT * FROM customers" .

At the moment, my products are displaying one by one. For example, I have an apple and apricot in my table. The user searches 'a' and the search results show 'apple' but not apricot. Here's my 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 .

Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading. I've been reading a few tutorials on how the best way to search key words in a database and at the moment im trying to get this query to work but its coming back with a error:
#1191 - Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column listquery: SELECT title, description FROM items WHERE MATCH(title, description) AGAINST('xbox')any help or advise on how the best way to search 2 columns on matching words...thank you Hi im really confused and annoyed Im making a real estate website and im stuck ont eh searching for a house part. Im trying to set up some searches on the different parts of the house usign text boxes for area and postcode and drop boxes for type and bedrooms and bathrooms i now you have to set up a form with input type text and then call it a name use get/post on a php side and then $_POST['search']; But i dnt seem to be able to make a search was hoping someone was kind enough to knock me up some quick code so it is functional and makbe i can work from it A;so any help towards searching using dropboxes would be awsume and if i have 2 boxes for price upper and lower how would this work Much appreciated I am trying to perform a search but it doesn't see to pass through i thing its because of this \ does any one know how i can pass this trought to search in mysql table 12\019PB (i cant search this item) Code: [Select] $searchlading = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['searchlading']) ; // get the query for the search engine (if applicable) $trimmed = trim($searchlading); //trim whitespace from the stored variable //query for pedimento $sql_ped = "SELECT order_id, bill_of_lading, pedimento_num FROM `".TABLE_ORDERS."` WHERE bill_of_lading LIKE '%$trimmed%'"; I don't mean to bother you with silly questions, but I must be using the wrong search terms to find any viable answers to this. Hypothetical situation: I have a table [Customers] with with an auto-increment id, customer_name and email generated from a form. Now, I decide to expand my database to include customer-address and telephone number. I decide to create a second table named Contactinfo for this purpose (assuming this is a better database practice). As Customerinfo is generated, I want it to POST in association with the respective customer (assuming that 'id' is the best field for association). I need some examples and best practices to accomplish this. Examples, links, or preferred terminology would be great so I can attack this phase. Thanks. Hi, as a newbee i'm trying to figure this code out: $search = get_the_title(); $lines = file('links.txt'); // Store true when the text is found $found = false; foreach($lines as $line) { if(strpos($line, $search) !== false) { $found = true; echo $line,"<br/>"; } } // If the text was not found, show a message if(!$found) { echo 'not found'; links.txt file contains links like: <a href="https://blabla.com/blablabla/blablablabla/The word or file to search" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The word or file to search</a> I just want to search the this part: ( ">The word or file to search</a> ) of the url then return it as an clickable url and also limit search results to 3. Could somebody help me which code and where to put in php code above? Thanks in advance. Hi, I was wondering what would be a good way to search through html for specific tags using php so that I can insert some other html in to that? I have used some parsing of an html that was converted in to a string, but the way I did it might not be fully efficient lol So i was wondering how everyone else would go about this? I don't need a complete in depth description but at least a pointer to what i could do that way i can just search for it on my own. Hello friends, i'm coding simple free script for articles but i need to know which url should be better 1- at this way article_title_words (sperated by _ ) 2- at this way article-title-words (sperated by - ) 3- at this way article+title+words (sperated by + ) which is better for searching engines ? thanks everybody Hi, I have a piece of code which I trying to search two columns but I just cant get it to work. Instead it just dumps around 30 entries onto the page. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to search two columns? Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT * FROM questions"; if(isset($_GET['question']) && !empty($_GET['notes'] )) { /*query the database*/ $question = $_GET['question']; $notes = $_GET['notes']; $query .= " WHERE question && notes like '%$question%' LIMIT 0, 10"; } $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $question = $row['question']; $notes = $row['notes']; echo "$question $notes </br>"; } I was kind of looking for a little direction, I have scoured the internet and exhausted every other resource I could think of before coming here... Does anyone know of any classes or resources that have some solid explanation or can give an explanation on how to go about searching within a PDF file?? I have literally beren trying to figure it out for over a year...I need to wrap this up it is consuming my life. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance |
