PHP - Number Search
Hey forum!
I am currently developing a number search and I need some help creating a way to show similar results... For example if someone searches "2009" and there is no result for "2009" is there a way for me to query the database with "2007", "2008", "2010", "2011", etc. until I find a result? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsHi! I need a little bit coding help here.

All the best: Mart Hello, I had 8 select boxes(dropdowns) in a form. Its like a search kind of implementation in the website. I don't know what the user selects, he may choose different select boxes, any number of select boxes. So, based upon the user selection, I need to generate the data. The data fields to be generated would be almost same. So, How would I know what the user selection is and how many select boxes has been selected and how could I generate different data based upon selected boxes. I had to make a small note abt this, that the data generation fields may change for some of the user select combinations, but most of the result fields would be same. so, can you please help me out, how to do, how to make different combination data generations, because, i had 8 fields, i had to make 8! combinations, that would result in a big code. I'm getting the dreaded " Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens" error and I've looked at this for days. Here is what my table looks like:
| id | int(4) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | user_id | int(4) | NO | | NULL | | | recipient | varchar(30) | NO | | NULL | | | subject | varchar(25) | YES | | NULL | | | cc_email | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | | reply | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | location | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL | | | stationery | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | | | ink_color | varchar(12) | YES | | NULL | | | fontchosen | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | | message | varchar(500) | NO | | NULL | | | attachment | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | | | messageDate | datetime | YES | | NULL |Here are my params: $params = array( ':user_id' => $userid, ':recipient' => $this->message_vars['recipient'], ':subject' => $this->message_vars['subject'], ':cc_email' => $this->message_vars['cc_email'], ':reply' => $this->message_vars['reply'], ':location' => $this->message_vars['location'], ':stationery' => $this->message_vars['stationery'], ':ink_color' => $this->message_vars['ink_color'], ':fontchosen' => $this->message_vars['fontchosen'], ':message' => $messageInput, ':attachment' => $this->message_vars['attachment'], ':messageDate' => $date );Here is my sql: $sql = "INSERT INTO messages (user_id,recipient, subject, cc_email, reply, location,stationery, ink_color, fontchosen, message,attachment) VALUES( $userid, :recipient, :subject, :cc_email, :reply, :location, :stationery, :ink_color, :fontchosen, $messageInput, :attachment, $date);"; And lastly, here is how I am calling it: $dbh = parent::$dbh; $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING); if (empty($dbh)) return false; $stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute($params) or die(print_r($stmt->errorInfo(), true)); if (!$stmt) { print_r($dbh->errorInfo()); }I know my userid is valid and and the date is set above (I've echo'd these out to make sure). Since the id is auto_increment, I do not put that in my sql (though I've tried that too), nor in my params (tried that too). What am I missing? I feel certain it is something small, but I have spent days checking commas, semi-colons and spelling. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Hello,
I have problem durring binding update query. I can't find what is causing problem.
public function Update(Entry $e) { try { $query = "update entry set string = $e->string,delimiter=$e->delimiter where entryid= $e->id"; $stmt = $this->db->mysqli->prepare($query); $stmt->bind_param('ssi',$e->string,$e->delimiter,$e->id); $stmt->close(); } catch(Exception $ex) { print 'Error: ' .$ex->getMessage(); } }When I run function update I'm getting next error:Warning: mysqli_stmt::bind_param(): Number of variables doesn't match number of parameters in prepared statement Can you help me to solve this problem ? Edited by danchi, 17 October 2014 - 10:25 AM. I need to display a number(the number is retrieved from the db) in the form input field such that only the last 4 digits is visbile, the remaining can be masked as * or X or whatever is applicable. I know the last 4 can be obtained as follows: Code: [Select] $number=substr($number,-4,4); But when i hit the submit button the form validates the input field and checks if the number is a valid number of a specific format. Therefore when I click on the submit button then I should still be able to unmask the masked numbers or do something similar that would help me validate the whole number. Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="no" value="<?php if(!empty($number)){ echo $number;} ?>"> The result pages is supposed to have pagination like google help me please
Hey I have a string that looks like the following: Quote top-php-tutorials-2.html I have a script that cycles through each page. The 2 in the quote above is the page number. How can I extract the number between the - and the .html and replace it with another number? I've tried Code: [Select] substr($engine->selectedcaturl, 0,-6).$v.".html"But then I realised this only works for numbers that are 1 digit long Any input would be appreciated 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 Hello, I'm developing a website that asks the user to submit a keyword for a search. The results should display matches for this keyword, but also show matches for related keywords (in order of relevenace!). I'm planning on building up a library of which search terms users use in the same sessions (e.g. if someone searches for "it jobs" and "php jobs", I'll know the terms are correlated), and I'll also measure the click-through rates of the items on the results list. I've been spending all weekend trying to map out the design for this but it's proving incredibly complicated and I think the solution is likely to be on the internet somewhere already?! Please could someone point me in the right direction if you've come accross this problem before? Thanks a million, Stu 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.

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 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 hello, i have a start time and an end time (no dates). the following works great, except for when the start time is at night, and the end time is in the morning. im thinking if i can do an if the number is negative, add 24, that it will resolve my issue. any ideas? Code: [Select] $tbilled = $tfinish - $tstart; Hello All, I want to know how to display results from mysql database by filling in a form. but i have found a tutorial which shows typing in a text box which displays results. if i follow this tutorial will it help me to understand and create php coding to display results for my form? 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! Basically this gets a number from a table on my DB, and displays the content relevent to that number...the second part checks for that number and gets other information according to that number... what i want to do is make sure that the number from the first query exists in the table from the query, and if it doesn't print out and error saying "there is no information" or whatever.. anyone have an idea? hopefully this makes sense Code: [Select] <?php require_once('Connections/myConnect.php'); $detnum = $_GET['Details']; $detinfo = mysql_query("SELECT* FROM `Agency Stores - Table 1` WHERE F11=".$detnum); $det = mysql_fetch_array($detinfo); $salesnum = $det['F3']; $salesinfo = mysql_query("SELECT* FROM `By Agency Store _` WHERE store_store=".$salesnum); $sales = mysql_fetch_array($salesinfo); if(mysql_query("SELECT* FROM `By Agency Store _` WHERE store_store=".$salesnum)){ } ?> |
