I made a search engine to search my database for specific users ( well I used a tutorial ). I'm not getting any errors atleast when loading the page which is a first for me. However, now I am tackled by something new. When entering the keywords and submitting the search I get: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 127.0.0.1 04/30/07 11:09:21 Apache/2.2.16 (Win32) PHP/5.3.3 Which is odd for me because I am using the same config.php with connection code to connect to the db which I used with all my other pages. And in those pages I have been able to add/delete/edit and display records from the database tables. Does this have something to do with it being a search engine?

I'm working on the following assignment and keep coming up with error messages.
"Warning: require(mysqli_connect_registrar.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/students/r/b.richards/public_html/cis231/labs/sectionresults.php on line 3 I've included the code I have and any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Assignment Directions: Introduction This lab will demonstrate how to create a dynamic form that is created from database contents. And then that form will be used to pull results from the database, based on the user's selection.
STEP 1 - Create the Database Connection File In your labs directory, define a mysql_connect.php file for the registrar database (with the student | student credentials).
STEP 2 - Create the Form Define the form as sectionsearch.php. Create a dynamic form with a drop-down menu listing available courses by title. (Note: the courseID will be the value that is posted to the results page.)
Step 3 - Create the Results page Define the results page as sectionresults.php. Present the results of the query for sections (unless there are none—then show an appropriate message). If there are results, use an HTML table (dynamically-generated) to display available sections with the following information: Faculty last name Room number Class meeting day(s) Start time End time The information should be sorted by the faculty member's last name. Note: You will need to consult the structure of the database tables to determine which fields need to be drawn from which tables and how to join the appropriate tables needed for the query.

<!doctype html>

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. df 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.

Natasha T 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 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 Hello All, |
