Similar TutorialsI want to know how to display results from mysql database by filling in a form. but i have found a tutorial which shows typing in a text box which displays results. if i follow this tutorial will it help me to understand and create php coding to display results for my form? 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 Friends, I want to extract the Search Keyword from the URL, a visitor came from.

Natasha T Hi, I have a script which searches the MySQL database. It outputs the result which is a business name, but I need the business name to be in a link so the user can click on it and go to another page to find out more information. However the business name is not included in the link, but the $value is.
Here is my script
<?php
include 'init.php';
// normal search
$result_tb = "";
if (!empty($_POST['SEARCH']) && !empty($_POST['search_value'])) {
$e = $_POST['search_value'];
$query = 'SELECT aquaticCenterName FROM reviews WHERE ' .
"aquaticCenterName LIKE '%$e%' OR " .
"town LIKE '%$e%' OR " .
"county LIKE '%$e%' OR " .
"country LIKE '%$e%' OR " .
"rating LIKE '%$e%' ";
$query_result = $con->query($query);
$result_tb = '<div>';
while ($rows = $query_result->fetch_assoc()) {
foreach ($rows as $k => $v) {
$result_tb .= '<a href="reviewResults.php?aquaticCenterName= . $v . ">' . $v . '</a><br>';
}
}
$result_tb .='</div><hr>';
$con->close();
}
?>
<?php
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
include 'includes/logo.php';
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="search_value" size="30" maxlength="30"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="SEARCH" value="Search"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php echo $result_tb; ?>
<?php
include 'includes/overall/footer.php';
But when I click on the link, I get this in the address bar
reviewResults.php?aquaticCenterName=%20.%20$v%20.
How do I get this to read
eg, reviewResults.php?aquaticCenterName=PaulsAquaticCenter
Many Thanks

I thinking about building a search engine just as a fun project and a way to develop my skills. However I'm not sure where to start... I want it to be a comparison search engine for computer parts so say the user type in "RAM" it would display results from PC World, Ebuyer, etc. I was thinking of using cURL but how do I know where the search results are on each page. For example say I get a html page of results from PC World and store them in a variable how do I then know what to strip out to get the results I want? Would I just have to look at the source code? Also would I then have to work this out for each site I wanted to search from and have a different method of getting the results from search site? If anyone has done anything like this in the past and could give me some advice that would be great. Thanks 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? Here is my code: Code: [Select] <html> <head> </head> <body> <h2>Search</h2> <form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"> Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in <Select NAME="field"> <Option VALUE="fname">First Name</option> <Option VALUE="sname">Last Name</option> <Option VALUE="sno">Profile</option> </Select> <input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" /> <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /> </form> </body> </html> <?php //This is only displayed if they have submitted the form $searching ='searching'; if ($searching =="yes") { echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>"; //If they did not enter data then they receive an error if ($find == "") { echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term"; exit; } // Otherwise connect to database include 'includes/config.php'; include 'includes/functions.php'; connect(); // filtering $find = strtoupper($find); $find = strip_tags($find); $find = trim ($find); // search for term in specified field $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM student WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'"); // display results while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) { echo $result['fname']; echo " "; echo $result['sname']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['sno']; echo "<br>"; echo "<br>"; } //Counts number or results and display message if there we're non $anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data); if ($anymatches == 0) { echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>"; } //And we remind them what they searched for echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find; } ?> Any ideas? Thanks in advance Hello, I would like to build a php search engine against a mysql database. I am looking for a tutorial but haven't been able to find any good ones. Any ideas of where I can find one? I need one where I can search with several words and if it has the stemmer.class.inc and so on would be great also. thanks, df hi frnds need a small favour...... i want to create a page with a simple text box and a submit button and as soon as i click the submit button it should get the data from the database matching to the text what i enterd in the text box and sholud display those data below the text box according to the number of keywords that are matching ..text that matches max keywords should display first...simply to say i need exactly the way google search engine homepage works...

Good evening, I am a newbie when it comes to programming, and I am yet learning. With several help from this forum, and other websites, I am able to finish my very first PHP project. It worked fine, as well as the search engine. However, it is foreseen that the application will be utilizing huge amount of data which would require pagination when viewing. And so I found a tutorial from php freaks as well. However, after I integrated the codes from my web application, the search engine suddenly stopped working. It is still, when I leave the field blank, which would display all data. However, if I type down a search query on the field, it still displays all data. Can anyone help me on this?

It works perfectly on my site,. I want to know how to make it modular so that other people can place my search box on their site and get results from my databse without having to give out all my site infomration. Hi Everyone. Am about to create a search engine for my project using php and mysql. My question is that > Do i have to keep creating tables and entries in the database to contain all the topics to be searched for? Or is there another way to go about it? cos i dont think i can really enter all the search topics and their web address and also their keywords. Thank You. I'm in the process of build a network and need to create a search that lets people search by both first and last names. I have tailored the code below to search for first names, but I don't know how to tailor it to search for both first and last names. Code: [Select] <?php //get data $button = $_GET['search']; $search = $_GET['search']; if (!$button) echo "You didn't submit a keyword."; else { if (strlen($search)<1) echo "Search term too short."; else { echo "You searched for $search<hr>"; require('connect.php'); //explode our search term $search_exploded = explode(" ",$search); foreach($search_exploded as $search_each) { //contruct query $x++; if ($x==1) $construct .= "firstname LIKE '%$search_each%'"; else $construct .= " OR firstname LIKE '%$search_each%'"; } //echo out construct $construct = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE $construct"; $run = mysql_query($construct); $foundnum = mysql_num_rows($run); if($foundnum==0) echo "No results found!<p>"; else { echo "$foundnum results found!<p>"; while ($runrows = mysql_fetch_assoc($run)) { //get data $firstname = $runrows['firstname']; $lastname = $runrows['lastname']; echo " $firstname $lastname "; } } } } ?> Ok, I have the code below and it only searches one keyword of my database please could you tell me how I can search multiple keywords? <? /* * search.php * * Script for searching a datbase populated with keywords by the * populate.php-script. */ print "<html><head><title>[Squashy] Search!

It is created to search through my database (it doesn't crawl through pages). The first problem I'm having is when I type in for example: Super Mario Bros and there is a row in my table with a field called Super Mario Brothers this row is not included as a successful result to the search. I need to somehow modify my code to search every word in every table cell in the database. So another example. I have 5 rows, each with one cell, named as follows: One Two Three Four Five If I was to type in the search box: One Two Three Four Five it should display all rows (it obviously doesn't do that right now lol) The second issue has to do with my sql query. It looks like this: $query = "select * from sheets where artist like \"%$trimmed%\" OR title like \"%$trimmed%\" order by artist"; $numresults=mysql_query($query); I need this query to search in the columns artist and title (like it is doing above) AS WELL as search only those rows that have an active status set to 'yes'. I tried to type something like: $query = "select * from sheets where active='yes' && artist like \"%$trimmed%\" OR title like \"%$trimmed%\" order by artist"; but this obviously causes problems. How do i require the query to include rows that are active, but have it look through artist OR title as well? Here is my code below. Any insight appreciated. Will be working on it til someone is available. Thanks <?php include_once('inc/functions.php'); // Get the search variable from URL $var = @mysql_safe($_GET['q']) ; $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable // rows to return $limit=10000; // check for an empty string and display a message. if ($trimmed == "") { $error = "<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: center; border-style: solid; border-color: #f43636; background-color: #fe6a6a;'><strong>Type In A Sheet To Search For</strong></td></tr>"; } // check for a search parameter if (!isset($var)) { $error = "<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: center; border-style: solid; border-color: #f43636; background-color: #fe6a6a;'><strong>Type In A Sheet To Search For</strong></td></tr>"; } // Build SQL Query $query = "select * from sheets where artist like \"%$trimmed%\" OR title like \"%$trimmed%\" order by artist"; $numresults=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults); // If we have no results if ($numrows == 0) { // If search was not found $error = "<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: center; border-style: solid; border-color: #f43636; background-color: #fe6a6a;'><strong>Unfortunately that sheet was not found, however, please request it by clicking below</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: center; border-left-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-color: #f43636; background-color: #f5f5f5;'><a href='request.php'>Request A Sheet Here</a></td></tr>"; } // next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0 if (empty($s)) { $s=0; } // get results $query .= " limit $s, $limit"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query"); $search = " "; $break = "<br />"; if($var!=""){ $search = "Search:"; $break = ""; } ?> <br /><div id='headsearch'></div> <div style="width: 210px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"> <form name="form" action="search.php" method="get"> <div style="float: left;"><input type="text" name="q" /></div> <div style="float: right;"><input type="image" src="img/search.png" alt="Search" name="Submit" value="Search" /></div> </form> </div> <?php // display what the person searched for echo "<center><div style='width: 210px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;'>$search <span style='color: #6aa504; margin-left; auto; margin-right: auto;'>" . stripslashes($var) .
