PHP - Searching Variable For { }

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 list

query:

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

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?

I am including my test.php for other to run.

I have a very large array of concatenated hash values. I have another array that contains the first 8 hash values of the other array. I have a function to locate them in the larger array. Depending on their index value I then choose the index of the value before or behind them for adding to something else later. This 'computeWalk' method works for small arrays but for larger arrays I notice duplicates or errors with larger ones.

For example.

The first array returns:
Array ( => 1 [1] => 18 [2] => 18 [3] => 35 [4] => 33 [5] => 33 )
The values for i's to get each of these values are
I = 0
I = 19
I = 29
I = 34
I = 37
I = 39

Walking through the method by hand,
0%2 = 0
So the first element of the array will be 1. CORRECT.
19%2 = 1
So the next element will be 18. CORRECT.
29%2 = 1
The next element should be 28. It returns 18.
34%2 = 0
The next element will be 35. Correct.
37%2 = 1
The next element should be 36. It returns 33.
39%2 = 1
The next element should be 38. It returns 33.

I am not sure why it's doing the above.
I also tried array_search and it computed it the same way.

Would appreciate any help.

I am working on a poject, where the search functions doesnt work as the user wishes. The coding is technically correct, but the idea behind it is wrong.

Basically at the moment, the script receives this:

thesite.com/search.php?q=xxxx&Submit=Search

The search script then runs a database query to search the tag coloumn, looking for like $q. This would work, however the structure of the coloumn is tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4.

So my resolutions is this so far:

I explode the $q variable, via the + (if you search more than one term "thesite.com/search.php?q=search+stuff&Submit=Search"

I then count the elements in the array and write the database function accordingly

Code: [Select]
$var = @$_GET['q'] ;
$trimmed = trim($var);

$searchpieces = explode("+", $trimmed);

$dbquery="";

$count = count($searchpieces);

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
if($i == 0){$dbquery.="tags = $searchpieces[$i]";}
elseif($i > 0){$dbquery.=" OR tags = $searchpieces[$i]";}
}

So my database query is

        $sql = "select * from gallery where $dbquery order by date DESC " . $limit;

so my question is this.. how to i eplode the tags database coloumn, so my datase query an look at each tag fro "tag1, tag2, tag3" as "tag1" "tag2" "tag3"

I am not even sure if this is possible, but its the system that is already in place.

The problem with the current system, is because the pictures have alot of tags and the database query is $like $q, it just shows all images in the database as the result

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 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";

I need to do some searching through PDF or Doc files, whichever will be more efficient. All the files will be in one folder, and I've written a script that will let me search the file names just fine. Each file though, has a header, with the actual title of of the document, since sometimes the file names are abbreviated. How would I search through the document (only the header) and return the matching results? If you need a sample document, let me know.

Thanks!

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.

Hi there,

I'm working on PHP webform and I have a variable called $weightInfo which has the value 5000|6000

Now I have a list of Arrays and I would like to see if our variable value (i.e 5000|6000) is in that list of Array: Here is the ArrayList:

 $WeightArray = array('' => '',
    '0|100' => '100g or Less',
    '101|250' => '101g to 250g', 
    '251|500' => '251g to 500g',
    '501|1000' => '501g to 1kg',
    '1000|2000' => '1kg to 2kg',
    '2000|3000' => '2kg to 3kg',
    '3000|4000' => '3kg to 4kg',
    '4000|5000' => '4kg to 5kg',
    '5000|6000' => '5kg to 6kg',
    '6000|7000' => '6kg to 7kg',
    '7000|8000' => '7kg to 8kg', 
    '8000|9000' => '8kg to 9kg',  
    '9000|10000' => '9kg to 10kg',
    'customValues' => 'Custom Values'
    );

Now as we can see, in this ArrayList, there is that value 5000|6000.

How do we find this through code, do we need some kind of looping or how do we check it.

Kindly reply.

Thank you

Hi everyone,   I've got a simple script that is searching for the results of running races in a database.   Searching for a finisher's position works perfectly with this script:

$position = $_POST['position'];
$pos_operator = $_POST['pos_operator'];
if ($pos_operator == '=' && $position != '' ) 
{
  $where .= " AND position='$position'";
}

if ($pos_operator == '<' && $position != '' ) 
{
  $where .= " AND position<'$position'";
}

$position refers to a text field in the form where the user can type in a digit. $pos_operator refers to a text field in the form where a user can select = or <   However, when I try to do a similar thing with time, I'm not getting the expected results.

$time_stated = strtotime($_POST['time_stated']); 

if ($time_stated != '' ) { 
  $where .= " AND time < '$time_stated'"; }
  

$time_stated refers to a text field where the user is asked to look for a time less than the time they input in xx:xx:xx format.   I tried this with and without the strtotime   Any tips?   Cheers, Dave      

I have a text string and I need to find the value that appears after a certain value:

Value that appears after "XXX:"

"Test 123 Hello XXX: 1 Test 555";

So the value would be "1"

Any ideas?

<?php
$string = "aStringwith SomeSpecialChars+^$%";

// want to check if there is "+" in it
if( ????? ($string,'+') {
echo "yes string has plus sign";
}
?>

Which function should I use to search in a string ?

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
