I am seeking to learn more about the noted subject, how to use PHP to allow a user to enter search terms and search a database. I have experimented with this with little results save for errors. Please see code listed below: search.php <? //// filename = search.php <form method="post" action="result.php3"> <select name="metode" size="1"> <option value="row_name1">metode1</option> <option value="row_name2">metode2</option> </select> <input type="text" name="search" size="25"> <input type="submit" value="Begin Searching!!"> </form> ?> results.php //// filename = result.php3 <? $hostname = "mysql7.000webhost.com"; // Usually localhost. $username = "a4542527_root"; // If you have no username, leave this space empty. $password = "*******"; // The same applies here. $usertable = "people"; // This is the table you made. $dbName = "a4542527_test1"; // This is the main database you connect to. MYSQL_CONNECT($hostname, $username, $password) OR DIE("Unable to connect to database"); @mysql_select_db( "$dbName") or die( "Unable to select database"); ?> <? //error message (not found message) $XX = "No Record Found"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE $metode LIKE '%$search%' LIMIT 0, 30 "); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $variable1=$row["row_name1"]; $variable2=$row["row_name2"]; $variable3=$row["row_name3"]; print ("this is for $variable1, and this print the variable2 end so on..."); } //below this is the function for no record!! if (!$variable1) { print ("$XX"); } //end ?> Upon viewing search.php I receive the error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/a4542527/public_html/search.php on line 3 I believe I may be missing something and am a bit lost. Thank-you in in advance for any help or suggestions. ~Matty Hello, I had simple php website in one folder, no database in the website. I need a method for text search in the web directory... Any help? Thanks Hello, Okay for some reason i cannot do this, when i open a file in php and search for string, it doesn't seem to work, some codes i tried: Code: [Select] $filename = 'example.txt'; $searchfor = 'hello'; $fh = fopen($filename, 'r'); $olddata = fread($fh, filesize($filename)); if(strpos($olddata, $searchfor)) { //fount it } else { //can't find it } fclose($fh); (above it just sample text, i was hoping you could give me sample code that will work) I tried many others like strstr, stristr, preg_replace etc etc, doesn't seem to find it.. this is my text file: Code: [Select] sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf[b]hello[/b]sdvsdf dfadfsdfsdfsddfsdf sdfsdfsdfs sdffffffffffffffffffffdv vsvdsdsf I don't want to find it by line, i want to simply open the text file and find the string.. thanks.. 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 Hey guys... since im new enough to php, i was wondering if someone could talk me through this one. i have three radio buttons.. allowing the user to search by age, area and skill level.. age and area have a text box and skill level has a drop down box. If the user was to select one of the radio buttons and enter/select a value.. how would the if statement work to search the db? I know how to open a connection, but not exactly sure how to structure this one. I am trying to add a txt file to a mysql database. Is there any one that can help? Here are the details TEST.TXT contains the following A001200910019999999900000200000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A002200910019999999900000610000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A003200910019999999900000687500000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A004200910019999999900000335000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A005200910019999999900000626500000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A006200704019999999900000423500000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A007200910019999999900000323500000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 A008200704019999999900000102500000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 And so on up to 200 rows long I need to split each row the same way and add them to a table I will use the first row as an example Character 1 to 4 (A001) entered into a field called name Character 5 to 12 (20091001) entered into a field called efdate Character 13 to 20 (99999999) entered into a field called exdate Character 21 to 31 (00000200000) entered into a field called prfee Character 32 to 42 (00000000000) entered into a field called assfee Character 43 to 53(00000000000) entered into a field called spfee Character 54 to 64 (00000000000) entered into a field called anfee Character 65 to 75 (00000000000) entered into a field called nanfee Thanks in advance for the help This is my website http://www.rahulkadukar.info/ As you can see I have the blue navigation bar on top and on mouse hover you can see a drop down menu. The contents of the drop down menu can change and I wanted to write a script that would populate the contents of the drop down menus. Which of these is a better option 1. Use JavaScript along with a text file and use JavaScript to populate the drop down 2. Use a SELECT in PHP to populate the drop down menu I am expecting that the 10 main columns would have at the most 20 entries each. Need some help I have 2 tables in a database and I need to search the first table and use the results from that search, to search another table, can this be done? and if it can how would you recommend that I go about it? Thanks For Your Help Guys! hello, i have made the fallowing code that searches through my mysql database in oder to find something looks like the query that the user is looking for. i was just wondering what should i do in order to make a second page if the results are more than 25. in other words, if there are more than 25 row i want to have a second page and if its more than 50 i want a third page and so on. $searchquery=$_POST['searchquery']; $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE title ILKE '%" . $letter . "%'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($result); echo "<p align="center">" .$numrows . " results found for " . $letter .

I have PHP code that I am trying to improve upon. I want to fix it so that when I put a dash next to a word, the word that is next to a dash is excluded.
I also want to see if it is possible, what would I have to change in my code so that when I search for words or phrases within PDF documents, that I get exactly what I want.
Whenever I have the Exact Phrase radio button enabled, and I type in the phrase Oil Gas Company, three PDF appear, however when I open the links of those PDF documents to search for that phrase, that exact phrase is not there so since it is not there I want to know what I would have to do to fix it so that the 0 matches found appears on my screen?
also
When it comes to using the dash what I want know is, is it possible to have something like Tax credit -appraisal in the search box and when either the Exact Phrase or the Any Phrase radio is selected it will do the function of both radio buttons but at the same time exclude the word appraisal in its search?
Any Phrase meaning of course it will search for either words in the phrase and bring up PDFs that have either results or both.
I ask these questions because whenever I type into the my search box bank and loans -money while the Exact Phrase radio button is highlighted it is only suppose to return PDF documents that have that exact phrase but without the word money in them. Is this possible with my code.
Is this possible with my code?
attached with this message is my php code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edited by mike2, 02 July 2014 - 02:53 PM. I have more than 1000 records in my database and while displaying i use Pagination with search criteria. Actually When i give search criteria, its displays defined number of records from database, defined in the same file thru pagination. It shows 2,3,4... number with links. But when i click on 2nd page , it goes to 2nd page but again we need to provide search criteria.
I wan this to display without search criteria.
My code is like this
<?php if(isset($_GET['page'])){ $page=$_GET['page']; } else { $page=1; } $start_page=($page-1)*20; if(isset($_POST['search'])) { $stud_id=$_POST['stud_id']; $stud_name=$_POST['stud_name']; $class=$_POST['class']; $section=$_POST['section']; $session=$_POST['session']; if(isset($_POST['search']) && ($_POST['stud_id']!='')) { $sql="select * from student where enroll_no LIKE '".$stud_id."%' "; } elseif(isset($_POST['search']) && ($_POST['stud_name']!='')) { $sql="select * from student where stud_name LIKE '".$stud_name."%' "; } elseif(isset($_POST['search']) && ($_POST['class']!='') && ($_POST['section']!='')) { $sql="select * from student where class LIKE '".$class."%' AND section LIKE '".$section."%' "; } elseif(isset($_POST['search']) && ($_POST['class']!=='')) { echo "Please select section along with class"; } elseif(isset($_POST['search'])) { $sql="select * from student limit $start_page,20"; } } $query=mysql_query($sql); ?> <div class="container"> <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span12"> <div class="w-box"> <div class="w-box-header"> <h4>Student List</h4> </div> <div class="w-box-content"> <form method="post" action="" > <div class="formSep"><input type="text" name="stud_id" id="stud_id" value="" placeholder="Enroll No" /> <input type="text" name="stud_name" id="stud_name" value="" placeholder="Student Name"/> <select name="class" id="class"> <option value=""> CLASS </option> <option value="Nursery">Nursery</option> <option value="LKG">LKG</option> <option value="UKG">UKG</option> <option value="I">I</option> <option value="II">II</option> <option value="III">III</option> <option value="IV">IV</option> <option value="V">V</option> <option value="VI">VI</option> <option value="VII">VII</option> <option value="VIII">VIII</option> <option value="IX">IX</option> <option value="X">X</option> <option value="XI">XI</option> <option value="XII">XII</option> </select> <select name="section" id="section"><option value=""> SECTION </option> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> <option value="D">D</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="search" id="search" value="Search" class="btn btn-info" /> </div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="w-box w-box-blue"> <div class="w-box-header"> <h4>Student List</h4> </div> <div class="w-box-content"> <?php $count=mysql_num_rows($query); if($count==0) { echo "<h2>SORRY NONE OF THE RECORD FOUND IN TABLE</h2>"; } else { echo "<table id='dt_hScroll' class='table table-striped'>"; echo "<thead><tr><th>Enroll No</th><th>Student Name</th><th>Photo</th><th>Class</th><th>Class Teacher</th><th>Section</th><th>Emergency Contact</th></tr> </thead>"; $i=0; while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { if($i == 1) { echo '<tr class="EvenTableRows">'; $i=0; } else { echo '<tr class="OddTableRows">'; $i = 1; } ?> <td><?php echo $row['enroll_no']; ?></td> <td><a href="edit_student.php?enroll_no=<?php echo $row['enroll_no']; ?>"><?php echo $row['stud_name']; ?></a></td> <td><img src="<?php echo '../'.$row['stud_photo']; ?>" width="50px" height="50px" /></td> <td><?php echo $row['class']; ?></td> <td> <?php } } ?> </tbody></table> </div> </div> <?php $sql1="select COUNT(id) from student"; $rs_result = mysql_query($sql1); $row1 = mysql_fetch_row($rs_result); $total_records = $row1[0]; $total_pages = ceil($total_records / 20); if ($page > $total_pages) { // set current page to last page $page = $total_pages; } // end if // if current page is less than first page... if ($page < 1) { // set current page to first page $page = 1; } // end if $range=4; echo "<div style='float:left; width:200px;text-align:center; margin-left:40%;'>"; // echo "<a href='view_student.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a> "; if ($page > 1) { // show << link to go back to page 1 echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=1'>First</a> "; // get previous page num $prevpage = $page - 1; // show < link to go back to 1 page echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$prevpage'>Previous</a> "; } // end if // loop to show links to range of pages around current page for ($x = ($page - $range); $x < (($page + $range) + 1); $x++) { // if it's a valid page number... if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $total_pages)) { // if we're on current page... if ($x == $page) { // 'highlight' it but don't make a link echo " [<b>$x</b>] "; // if not current page... } else { // make it a link echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$x'>$x</a> "; } // end else } // end if } // end for // if not on last page, show forward and last page links if ($page != $total_pages) { // get next page $nextpage = $page + 1; // echo forward link for next page echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$nextpage'>Next</a> "; // echo forward link for lastpage echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$total_pages'>Last</a> "; } // end if echo "</div>"; ?>how can i make it , please suggest Could anyone please help about making a search result with links.

Hi all How do I modify the below code to search multiple tables in mySQL database? $query = "select * from store_items where description like \"%$trimmed%\" or title like \"%$trimmed%\" or dimensions like \"%$trimmed%\" order by id ASC"; $numresults=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults); It is for a search function and I need it to search another table called 'about_text' and 'faq_text' Thanks Pete this is only returning one record, when I know there are more, and it's an endless loop crashing my browser, can someone tell me how my brackets are wrong, or what is wrong? Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['search'])){ $keyword=$_POST['keyword']; } $sql="SELECT id, fname, lname FROM obituaries WHERE lname LIKE '%$keyword%' OR fname LIKE '%$keyword%' ORDER BY id DESC"; $results = mysql_query($sql); $num = mysql_num_rows ($results); if ($num > 0 ) { $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $id = mysql_result($results,$i,"id"); $fname = mysql_result($results,$i,"fname"); $lname = mysql_result($results,$i,"lname"); ?> <a href="view.php?id=<?php echo ($id); ?>"><?php echo($fname); ?> <?php echo($lname); ?></a> <?php } } ?>Thanks in advance I am building online dictionary with php. The following code allows the user to search a word and display the definition results from the database. The problem is the user has to input the identical words only. If the words are not exactly similar to the database words it returns error message. But in this case I need it to give a suggestion along with the error message based on the few beginning words of the submitted word. eg. if the user type a word "suggestion", and the word "suggestion" is not available in the database .... instead of just the error message to also search and include other stored data closer to the submitted word ... like "TRY the word SUGGEST". can any one help me on this please. Thank you in advance. here is the code Code: [Select] <?php $script = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; if(isset($_POST['sbm']) && isset($_POST['word']) ) { submited(); } else { show_form(); } function show_form() { ?> <p><center> Type <span style='font-weight:bold;'>ENGLISH</span> word Only! <span style='font-weight:bold;'>SPELL IT CORRECTLY!!!.</span></center></P> <p><center>Search</center></p> <center><form name=frm method=POST action="<?php echo $script ?>"> <p><input type=text name="word"><br /></p> <p><input type=submit name="sbm" value="Submit"> </form> </center></p> <?php } function submited() { require("dbconn.inc"); $word=$_POST['word']; $sql="select * from words where eng like '".mysql_real_escape_string($word)."'"; $result=mysql_query($sql,$link); // I assume $link is defined in dbconn.inc if(@mysql_num_rows($result)!=0) { $rows=mysql_fetch_array($result); $am=$rows["am"]; echo("<center>The Word <h1><b>$word</b></h1> in Am is : <h1><b>$am </b></h1><br></center>"); } else { echo("<center><span style='font-weight:bold;color:#FF0000;'>Could not find it!
