PHP - Searching Through Pdf's / Docs?
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! Similar TutorialsOk, my issue is that when using cURL to download a request to google docs, using cURL option file transfer, it downloads immediately. This means that all I really end up saving is a loading screen. So I guess my question is, is there a way to make cURL wait untill the page at google docs is complete? Or is there a better solution? I basically want to store a local copy of what google docs produces, so next time a user needs to view that document, they dont have to wait for loading time. Here is curl request im using: Code: [Select] // Download the file from google docs $fh = fopen(DIR_DOWNLOAD . '/database/' . $fileName . '.html', 'w'); $ch = curl_init($docsFile); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_exec($ch); print_r(curl_getinfo($ch)); curl_close($ch); fclose($fh); Hi there guys, what would be the best way to print information from PHP contact form to google spreadsheet, i've tried to follow this tutorial: http://www.farinspace.com/saving-form-data-to-google-spreadsheets/ And i fail in every way. I have few fields only, let's say Full name, Email, Address, Checkbox and Select (dropdown) option, i would like to know how can i store inputs to the google spreadsheet, not single one, but all of them...

Ok I have a set of PDF files that i need to be searchable. My question how do i go about doing this. Can this be achieved with php or do a need to do something else? I'm having some trouble with a GET search code; everything works until the stringresult but then it dies to Error Querying Database Code: [Select] <html> <body> <?php //Get sort setting and search terms from URL with GET $usersearch = $_GET['usersearch']; echo 'Search word: ' . $usersearch; echo '<br>'; require_once("dbvars.php"); //Connect to Database $dbc = mysqli_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PW, DB_NAME) or die ("Error connecting to database."); //Build the Query $query = "SELECT * FROM customers" .

At the moment, my products are displaying one by one. For example, I have an apple and apricot in my table. The user searches 'a' and the search results show 'apple' but not apricot. Here's my code: Code: [Select] <?php require_once('inc/global.inc.php'); # search.inc.php /* * This is the search content module. * This page is included by index.php. * This page expects to receive $_GET['terms']. */ // Redirect if this page was accessed directly: if (!defined('BASE_URL')) { // Need the BASE_URL, defined in the config file: require_once ('../includes/config.inc.php'); // Redirect to the index page: $url = BASE_URL . 'index.php?p=search'; // Pass along search terms? if (isset($_GET['terms'])) { $url .= '&terms=' . urlencode($_GET['terms']); } header ("Location: $url"); exit; } // End of defined() IF. // Print a caption: echo '<h2>Search Results</h2>'; // Display the search results if the form // has been submitted. if (isset($_GET['terms']) && ($_GET['terms'] != 'Search...') ) { $terms = $_GET['terms']; $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) or die *('Error connecting to MySQL server'); // Query the database. $query = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE title LIKE '%$terms%'"; $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); // Fetch the results. $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result); // Print the results: $output[] = '<ul>'; $output[] = '<li>'.$row['title'] .': £'.$row['price'].'<br /><img src="'.$row['img'].'" alt="'.$row['title'].'" /></li>'; $output[] = '</ul>'; echo join('',$output); } else { // Tell them to use the search form. echo '<p class="error">Please use the search form at the top of the window to search this site.</p>'; } ?> A friend told me I need to use a for-each loop but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading. 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 don't mean to bother you with silly questions, but I must be using the wrong search terms to find any viable answers to this. Hypothetical situation: I have a table [Customers] with with an auto-increment id, customer_name and email generated from a form. Now, I decide to expand my database to include customer-address and telephone number. I decide to create a second table named Contactinfo for this purpose (assuming this is a better database practice). As Customerinfo is generated, I want it to POST in association with the respective customer (assuming that 'id' is the best field for association). I need some examples and best practices to accomplish this. Examples, links, or preferred terminology would be great so I can attack this phase. Thanks. Dear All, Greetings! I am a student and have a final semester project of making a php based form to search a database. Database is already created: Username: test password: test1 Details: DB Name: resume_bank, Table Name: Candidate Table contents: Name, Phone, Address, DOB, Gender, Designation, experience_yrs, experience_months, Employment_Status I need the code which would give the user an option to search using AND, OR, ALL functions. Friends please help. The form should look like: Enter the Designation you are looking for: Enter the experience: Yrs___ Months___ Select Gender: The result must come in another webpage which has numbered display results, like page-1, page-2, page3... PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!!!!!!! ANY BODY HAS READY MADE CODE PLEASE SEND IT!!!!!! Thanks. I was kind of looking for a little direction, I have scoured the internet and exhausted every other resource I could think of before coming here... Does anyone know of any classes or resources that have some solid explanation or can give an explanation on how to go about searching within a PDF file?? I have literally beren trying to figure it out for over a year...I need to wrap this up it is consuming my life. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance 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 12\019PB (i cant search this item) Code: [Select] $searchlading = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['searchlading']) ; // get the query for the search engine (if applicable) $trimmed = trim($searchlading); //trim whitespace from the stored variable //query for pedimento $sql_ped = "SELECT order_id, bill_of_lading, pedimento_num FROM `".TABLE_ORDERS."` WHERE bill_of_lading LIKE '%$trimmed%'"; 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 Hello friends, i'm coding simple free script for articles but i need to know which url should be better 1- at this way article_title_words (sperated by _ ) 2- at this way article-title-words (sperated by - ) 3- at this way article+title+words (sperated by + ) which is better for searching engines ? thanks everybody 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 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 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. <?php $arrayTree = array(); $arrayTree[0] = "9d027b1c4068d81287c9170f4b291387f8327eb7"; $arrayTree[1] = "4c8fabdc24c2d8205db916a22e9459195833a272"; $arrayTree[2] = "209526afab9e85b54e1832a820a7f578b7760af0";

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, 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] $query = "SELECT * FROM questions"; if(isset($_GET['question']) && !empty($_GET['notes'] )) { /*query the database*/ $question = $_GET['question']; $notes = $_GET['notes']; $query .= " WHERE question && notes like '%$question%' LIMIT 0, 10"; } $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $question = $row['question']; $notes = $row['notes']; echo "$question $notes </br>"; } hey guys, im new to all this php stuff.
