PHP - If Result >= 6 Add Link?

I've tried to find an answer in the forum and although there have been posts similar I am unable to covert the answer to fit what I've got (mostly because I know very very little about php - sorry).
What I need is one of the results to be added to the end of a url in order to create a link. Basically I have a storefront (www.storefront.com/) and the result NAME can be added onto the end of our url to create a link to the product page. (www.storefront.com/NAME)

Code: [Select]
<?php
$dbhost = "";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";
//Connect to MySQL Server
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
//Select Database
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
// Retrieve data from Query String
$price = $_GET['price'];
$taxable = $_GET['taxable'];
$weight = $_GET['weight'];
// Escape User Input to help prevent SQL Injection
$age = mysql_real_escape_string($price);
$sex = mysql_real_escape_string($taxable);
$wpm = mysql_real_escape_string($weight);
//build query
$query = "SELECT * FROM Products WHERE taxable = '$taxable'";
if(is_numeric($price))
$query .= " AND price <= $price";
if(is_numeric($weight))
$query .= " AND weight <= $weight";
//Execute query
$qry_result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

//Build Result String
$display_string = "<table>";
$display_string .= "<tr>";
$display_string .= "<th>Name</th>";
$display_string .= "<th>Price</th>";
$display_string .= "<th>Taxable</th>";
$display_string .= "<th>Weight</th>";
$display_string .= "</tr>";

// Insert a new row in the table for each person returned
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result)){
$display_string .= "<tr>";
$display_string .= "<td>'<a href="www.storefront.com/">' . $row[name] . ' </a>'/td>";
$display_string .= "<td>$row[price]</td>";
$display_string .= "<td>$row[taxable]</td>";
$display_string .= "<td>$row[weight]</td>";
$display_string .= "</tr>";

}
echo "Query: " . $query . "<br />";
$display_string .= "</table>";
echo $display_string;
?>
I know the way it is setup in the code is wrong. Can anyone help me out?
Would really appreciate it.

Thanks - and again, sorry for my lack of php knowledge.

Could anyone please help about making a search result with links. To be specific, I have a list of names in my database. I want to create a search that will list names with links. Its been 5 hours and cant still figure out how it goes.

Thank you

I'm trying to add a link to edit my results. Not sure the best way to create the link, nothing I've tried works.
There's probably a better way than what I've tried:


echo 'There were ', mysql_num_rows($result), ' Matching Photographers:';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo "<br />Photographer Info:<br />";
  echo   "Photographer Name: $row[name]<br />";
  echo   "Photographer Email: $row[email]<br />";
  echo   "Photographer ID: $row[PHOTOGRAPHERID]<br />";
  echo   "Photographer Company: $row[c_name]<br />";
  echo   "Edit Photographer <a href="update.php?id=' . $row[PHOTOGRAPHERID] . '">Here</a>";
}

Hi Everyone.

I get the following data from a result from database search

<?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?>  It prints out the url but when I try to turn it into a clickable link it does not work

Here is the coding I have so far.


<a href="<?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?>"><?php echo $rsjobs['CompanyURL'];?></a>


 What am I doing wrong ? please help.

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
