PHP - Proper Syntax For Fulltext Searches
Hello everyone. First post here. very new to php and html. Im working on my uncles website which is a fabric store. I created a mysql database and a search to use. Im trying to make this a fulltext search because right now you have to match the pattern name exactly to get any results! And if somebody searches for the pattern name and the color they will get no results! In fact, if there is more than one search term, there is no results.
-This is the first part where it counts so the pagination can be built- $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM rapatterns WHERE Pattern= '$keyword' OR Color= '$keyword' OR Fabric_Use= '$keyword'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); -here is the query to get results- $sql = "SELECT * FROM rapatterns WHERE Pattern= '$keyword' OR Color= '$keyword' OR Fabric_Use= '$keyword' LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); Ive looked into full text searching, and ive created a fulltext index on the three columns being searched here. The problem im having is when I try to change the queries to fulltext searches I get syntax errors. -this is what i was trying to do- -this is the first one that counts for pagination- $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM rapatterns WHERE MATCH(Pattern,Color,Fabric_Use) AGAINST ('$keyword') LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage"; -here is the second one to get results- $sql = "SELECT * FROM rapatterns WHERE MATCH(Pattern,Color,Fabric_Use) AGAINST ('$keyword') LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); Im wondering if I can get a little help with the syntax or if what im trying to do wont work at all. Go easy on me. I am extremely new to any of this. Similar TutorialsThat's right I'm pretty green when it comes to PHP. I googled it, but it looks like there are several ways to achieve this, wondering which is best.
elseif ($subcategory_id == 400)I want the code to include a number of subcategory_ids, 400, 450, 500, 760, etc. There isn't a range, so what would be the proper way to include multiple category_ids. Thank you Just curious, what is proper programming in cases where you're just doing a simple IF statement where there really is no need for an ELSE. Should you still write out the ELSE? For example, which is proper... Code: [Select] if (x=1) { //code here to do something } or Code: [Select] if (x=1) { //code here to do something } else { } There would be nothing in the ELSE statement, so is it OK to just leave it out completely (i.e. version #1), or is it proper to still have it listed (i.e. version #2)? I'm trying to insert an image and this is my code:
echo "<tr>"; echo '<td><input type="submit" name="btnPost" value="'.$rec['SKU'] . '"</td>' ; echo "<td>".$rec['NAME']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$rec['DESCR']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$rec['PRICE']."</td>"; echo "<td>"<img src=".$rec['IMAGE']">."</td>"; echo "</tr>"; $row++ ; I tried just echoing the .$rec['IMAGE'] without the img tag, but all it does is echo the name of the file instead of presenting the image itself. This is the code I'm using on another page in my HTML and it works fine, but I was curious how to insert the image inside my while loop. <img src="<?php echo $rec['IMAGE']; ?>"> In phpmyadmin, once I do a fulltext on a field, is that the only time I have to do it or does it have to be indexed anytime new data is added or altered? Hello everybody! I have a fulltext search script that orders the results by relevance to the keywords. But I want that the order process takes into consideration column `views` as well. So basically what I want is that relevance is 80% significant but views respectively - 20%. I tried to figure out some ways, but as I am amateur there were only errors that came out. Here ismMy code which is working and ordering the results ONLY 100% by revelance: Code: [Select] $mq = mysql_query("SELECT *, (MATCH(articles) AGAINST ('briniskigi housez lacitis' IN BOOLEAN MODE)) AS relevance FROM results WHERE ( MATCH(articles) AGAINST ('briniskigi housez lacitis' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ) ORDER BY relevance DESC"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mq)) { echo $row['id'] . '<br />'; } Thank you in advance. I hope that you understood me I have a MySql database (Server Version 5.6.12) with a fulltext index on the SectionText field in the FD table with this structu
CREATE TABLE `FD` ( `FTS_DOC_ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `ReadingNo` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `SequenceNo` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `SectionTypeID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `SectionText` longtext, `FullDocNo` varchar(11) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL, `DocType` varchar(11) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL, UNIQUE KEY `FTS_DOC_ID_INDEX` (`FTS_DOC_ID`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;I am able to do a very accurate fulltext proximity search (92 documents found) in PHPMyAdmin using this syntax: SELECT SectionText FROM fd WHERE DocType = "text" AND MATCH (SectionText) AGAINST ('"liver hepatic" @3' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER BY FTS_DOC_IDBut when I try to use this query on a webpage I get this error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'liver' (T_STRING) in C:\wamp\www\ecr\proximity.php on line 77 When I remove the quotes like this: MATCH (SectionText) AGAINST ('liver hepatic @3' IN BOOLEAN MODE)There is no error, but there are no documents found. Realistically, to do searches on the web, I need to use search variables provided via an input form (and preferably a parameterized query) such as: MATCH (SectionText) AGAINST (':search1 :search2 @:proximity' IN BOOLEAN MODE)But this also returns no documents found. I need help getting this implemented on a web page. If this needs to be posted in another forum (PHP), please advise. But since the proximity search feature seems to be relatively new and somewhat obscure (couldn’t find anything about implementing it on a webpage via Google), I thought it best to start here. Any help in solving this is greatly appreciated. Hi guys, i'm trying to search from a form and use php to display the results of the FullText Search from a MySQL database, but I don't get any results from the query. This is the query: $query="SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE MATCH(title, tags) AGAINST ('$searchform')"; I think the query is right but it doesn't give me any results.... Does anyone know what could be wrong? I think it might be something wrong with my table (database). my table should have 5 columns: id, title, category, content, tags The form should search throught the title and tags columns to see if it finds anything matching the $searchform , but I don't think it is doing it. Can anyone help please? fulltext in boolean mode is not matching ignored words in mysql.
ENGINE is set for myisam. mysql collation is utf8_general_ci.
i have altered table using...
ALTER TABLE users ADD FULLTEXT(userName);when i view mysql indexes, userName is username instead. I am not sure if this matter as there is not an error message when searching. SELECT * FROM users WHERE MATCH (userName) AGAINST ('$keywords' IN BOOLEAN MODE)I have restarted mysql and still does not match some 5 character words. in the mysql config, word length is set to 4. have i missed something? The issue I am having is that everytime I click the next button, it takes me to the index page. My question is, how do I set up a proper search results link in "href="?page=1"

This is more of a logic question. I have built a beta version of my site and I am currently working on getting beta V2 out, but I want to implement location based searching of users (particularly with a google api integration). Aside from the API stuff, how do I perform location based searches on the backend. For instance, I have all of my users locations (city, state, country), but how can I say to grab all users by that state when that state is typed in or grab all users by that city when the city is typed in and the same thing for country? Is there anyway to set this up with a default radius too? So if I search for a town, I get a 20 Mile radius result? I really have no idea how to go about the dynamic look up match. Any good tutorials on this? Hey guys, i'm new to this site and would need some help with coding. So i'm making a car part website which should has brand/model search. It's a dropdown search which will get the brand / model from database and should display all the parts for that exact model, from folder. Database structure which i have is id, master, name. ( Here's some pictures to clear out what i'm doing. http://imgur.com/a/7XwVd ) So the problem is that it does not get the images from folder named ex: *_audi_a3.jpg. And link to codes what have been written already. Parts.php: http://pastebin.com/q6vdypge Update.php: http://pastebin.com/DymhGQ17 Search_images.php: http://pastebin.com/LF5Q0i8f Core.js: http://pastebin.com/bgc0y4TS I don't know what's wrong with it sadly. One thing i noticed when i used firebug it gives error on category when searching error:true. Hope you guys understand what i mean here, and also all help is appreciated. And move this post if it's in wrong place. Thanks! Edited by aeonius, 17 October 2014 - 12:15 PM. I have been looking at this code most of the morning and do not have a clue what is wrong with the code. I am hoping its not a stupid mistake, can someone please help me out? thank you

Should this be the proper way of adding the getUsername() text in the query below: Code: [Select] mysql_query("UPDATE posts SET content = '$content', lastedit = ". getUsername() .":NOW() WHERE id = '$pid'") or die(mysql_error()); Say I have two areas of a website. 1 - root directory (index, sign up, sign in) 2 - folders (this would contain folders such as snippets, members, assets) Due to the nature of the folders, the links cannot be the same as they are on the pages in the root directory. Index page for example. So if I'm on members/dashboard.php, any a links linking to index.php, will have to have "../" in front of them. To solve the issue, my current set up is like this. But I understand it's not the most efficient way to do this.
