PHP - Moved: You Guys Are Awesome!

Hi there.

I am working on a PHP web form and trying to implement search functionality. It is called Search-as-you-Type.

For example, when we do a search in facebook, we get all the pictures and names of the people. in a drop-down like style. I believe this is implemented using some AJAX.

Please see the screenshot I've attached.

Could any one please share the code or give me some advice on how I can accomplish this.

Thank you!

Hello to all...

Can someone help me on this one? I have a hard time on modifying this code. This code was given to me as the reply on my old post.. However i put the wrong string on that post.. Now my problem is how to parse again this string Quote

#1#
"3032117","+639217195804","+447537404702","test","2012-01-13","03:26:15","test another sample sms. this is a sample sms",""
"3032118","+639105701066","+447537404702","test","2012-01-14","03:27:12","test sms sample 2. test only.",""

I need to drop the #1#, and split the string into an array on +447537404702..Please refer on the code below
Code: [Select]
function parse_csv($line,$delimiter=',',$quote = '"',$newline="\n") {
$line = str_replace("\r\n",$newline,$line); //change extended newlines.
$line = str_replace("\n",$newline,$line);  //this is here in case you pass a different newline to the function.
$line = str_replace('"",""','',$line); //remove double quoted commas.
$line = str_replace($quote,'',$line); //remove quotes.
$line = preg_replace('~,{2,}~',',',$line); //remove double commas.
if(strstr($line,$newline)) {
$parts = explode($newline,$line); //all new lines should be an array.
}
if(isset($parts) && is_array($parts)) { //if a newline exists
foreach($parts as $value) { //rerun the function on each line.
$result = parse_csv($value,$delimiter,$quote,$newline);
//only include the results, if there is more than 1 line;
if(isset($result[1])) {
$arr[] = $result;
}
}
}
else {
$arr = explode($delimiter,$line); //make an array based on the delimiter.
//cleanup = delete lines that has no values.
foreach($arr as $k => $v) {
if(empty($v)) {
unset($arr[$k]);
}
}
}
 return $arr;
}

$file ='#1#
"3032117","+639217195804","+447537404702","test","2012-01-13","03:26:15","test another sample sms. this is a sample sms",""
"3032118","+639105701066","+447537404702","test","2012-01-14","03:27:12","test sms sample 2. test only.",""';

$array = parse_csv($file,',','"',"+447980123456");

echo '<pre>' . print_r($array,true) . '</pre>'; //show the array construct.

//echoing the values out.
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
echo '<h4>' . $key . '</h4>';
foreach($value as $v2) {
echo $v2 . '<br />';
}
echo '<hr />';
}
This is the wrong string Quote

#1# "4","+447980123456","+447781484145","","2009-06-08","10:38:15","hello "","" world","Orange" "5","+447980123456","+447781484146","","2009-07-08","10:38:55","hello world","Orange"

This is the link on my old post http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=351398.new;topicseen#new

I'm Jay, new to PHP hoping to start up and get some things done by handling some actual problems for a change.. So hey! Thanks.

I'm trying to $_GET a value and then input it into my database but this obviously doesn't work, I have no idea why.

As soon as I run a "if (isset($_POST['submit']" action the value of the $_GET dissapears completly, I have no idea why, I've tried both XAMPP and WAMP with Apache and MySQL but it doesn't seem to work.
Is this simply just not possible or am I doing something wrong...Help me!!!

I have a simple question how would I do this?

If a row in mysql i have "type" is set to "yes"
do that stuff
or if it's not
do some other stuff

Hey everyone

A little advice would be great.  okay... I have a system that registers users and then allows them to take part in a quiz, which uses sessions and a database however what the problem is, is that i would like the user to be able to see the results of there quiz rather than destroying a session on logout.php

for example when they login, they will click member area for example and this will display info about the quiz they completed.... i.e. Scores

How would i do keep this info so its not lost on logging out??

Thanks in advance guys

Hi, I have a lot while loops, for loops and PHP hard coded with HTML. The HTML now has become super hard to read sometimes I get confused where I am lol. My question is it better to make few other PHP files, with the loops and just call them with Include or Request or could you just tell me how you guys work around this?

$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query1));
     $total_res = $total_res[num]; // total rows counting of total office days of a month
    
$result2=mysql_query("SELECT id, user_id, Employee_Name, Remark, SUM(Login_Hours), Date FROM attendance WHERE Employee_Name='moses'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
