PHP - How To Create Search Filters?
Basically I have a property page where I want users to be able to click 'detached' and then only detached properties will appear, if the user click 'semi-detached' then only semi-detched properties will appear. but these properties that I want to appear are just images, then a link to the actually property page with all the details.
You can view the page here to get a better understanding: http://www.mumtazproperties.hostei.com/forsale.html At the moment all of the properties appear on the page. (and when you select the filters it actually does what I want it too, but through HTML) But I want the information to come from a database and then use PHP code to execute it all. Help is hugely appreciated, thanks. Similar TutorialsI have a property website and I want users to be able to filter the properties, So when they access the page, and click 'detached properties' only detached properties will appear, if the user selects 'semi-detached' then only semi detached properties will appear. I already have a mySQL database set up. Image attached here to have a better understanding. The result pages is supposed to have pagination like google help me please

I have a page with a query that retrives records from the database and I want to have options of filtering out the shown records by date, time, likes, views..etc; how would I go about doing that?
The way I am thinking is having a html form with those filter inputs and using a relative query based on the filter selection to retrive the results.
What you think?
Hi there, I have been creating a website which shows products of the companys (www.theadventurestartshere.org) and I have been trying to make some filters for the products using URL Parameters and recordsheet filters... Can someone advise me on the easiest way to do this? As I have created a method to do it with, (check website) but it has to be entered manually and I was hoping there is an easier way? Please Note I like to use drop down boxes for the filters but if there is a way to do the checkbox style you see on say Amazon then that would be brilliant... I use Dreamweaver CS5, and the newest versions of PHP and MySql Many Thanks, Paul 1st the log in code: Code <form method ="post" action="cartnisya.php"> <table border="0"align="right"> <td>Username:</td> <td><input type="Text" name="Username"></td> <td>  </td> <td>  </td> <td>Password:</td> <td><input type="Password" name="Password"></td> <td>  </td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="Submit" name=submit" value="Submit"></td> </table> <img src="Vinnex1.jpg"> </form> it will then go the php code: CODE: <html> <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root",""); mysql_select_db("vinnex",$db); $Username = $_POST['Username']; echo $Username; $result = mysql_query("Select TransNo From transaction", $db); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); if ($myrow=='') { $TransNo='1000'; $sql = mysql_query("Select * From customer where Username='$Username'", $db); $myrow1 = mysql_fetch_array($sql); $Username = $myrow1['Username']; $Firstname = $myrow1['Firstname']; $Lastname = $myrow1['Lastname']; $name = $Firstname.

The site was created for a school district so all the users are district employees where their incoming email is subject to pretty strict spam filtering. I am using headers to indicate to the recipient that the email is coming from support@mysite.com, but I guess the mail servers see past this and recognize that it's coming from a php(mail) function. Because of this, all of the emails being sent are being blocked by the filter. I've tried adding all emails coming from an address that ends with "@mysite.com" but this doesn't work. This is what the addresses look like that the spam filter is actually seeing: elmas156@p3nlhftpg049.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net And I can't just add a single address to the white list because each time an email is sent, the letters and numbers after "@" and before "secureserver.net" are different. Here's another address that shows up: elmas156@p3nlhg331.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net here is the code that I'm using to send the emails: Code: [Select] <?php $sendto = "$email"; $emailsubject = "Testing Message Report For $cdate."; $emailmessage = "This is a test email."; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'From: MySite.com Report <support@mysite.com>' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($sendto, $emailsubject, $emailmessage, $headers); ?> Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make every email sent to be recognized by the spam filter as coming from the same email instead of a bunch of random ones? I hope this is making sense to someone because it was very difficult for me to explain in writing. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Hi all,
I have been reading in almost everywhere that we should not use our own custom login and password validations ( like regex etc.) but instead use the filter_var and filter_input built in functions provided by PHP 5 and above. However even after searching for more than an hour for with different search strings, I have not found even a single example that shows how we may validate for a username/login and password in a login form. Can someone be kind enough to provide a strong secure validations for username and login.
Additionally I would also like to clarify if the username and login fields in a Login form be manipulated in any manner to pose a security threat? I mean can a hacker craft a username/login or password in such a manner as to pose an injection or any other threat?
Thanks all.
Folks, I am just trying to learn PHP. For form input validation which is better - Regexp or PHP Filters? Or do they have completely different uses? Where does preg fit in? Thank you! J.S. I am having a lot of trouble with this code, and I have no clue how to fix it. Right now, I have a GUI for a fictitious car dealership that has 5 populated drop down menus called Make, Model, Year, Color, and Mileage. What I want the code to do is read the selections made by the user with the drop down menus once the user hits the submit button and then filter the tables that I have in a mysql database to meets the choice requirements of the user. The code will bring up the GUI, but once I hit the submit button, I get the following errors Please if anyone can help me that would be fantastic. I really have no clue hello and good day

what do you say-!? Hello everyone, I am working on a form that is similar to a shopping cart system and I am thinking of creating a button that submits the checked value and saves them to a $_SESSION variable. And also a link that links to a cart.html that takes the values of a $_SESSION variable. I am have trouble figuring what tag/attribute should I use in order to achieve that.
Right now my code attached below submits the checked values to cart.html directly. However I want my submit button to save the checked box to a $_SESSION variable and STAY on the same page. And then I will implement a <a> to link to the cart.php.
I researched a little bit about this subject and I know it's somewhat related to ajax/jquery. I just wanted to know more about it from you guys. I appreciate your attention for reading the post and Thanks!
Below is the form that I currently have:
<form name= "finalForm" method="POST" action="cart.php">
<input type="Submit" name="finalSelected"/>
<?php foreach($FinalName as $key => $item) {?>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="fSelected[]" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($FinalID[$key])?>" />
<?php echo "$FinalID[$key] & $item";?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ;?>
Below is the code for cart.php
<?php
require ('connect_db.php');
if(isset($_POST['finalSelected']))
{
if(!empty($_POST['fSelected']))
{
$chosen = $_POST['fSelected'];
foreach ($chosen as $item)
echo "aID selected: $item </br>";
$delimit = implode(", ", $chosen);
print_r($delimit);
}
}
if(isset($delimit))
{
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($delimit)";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
?>
<table>
<?php if(isset($delimit)) {
$c=0; foreach($aTitle as $item) {?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo $aTitle[$c]; $c++;?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php }}?>
</table>
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 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 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.

Since I am using ajax i am not able to use free search engin,so if possible pls provide a complete solution |
