I am asking out of curiosity, how does this problem usually get solved, when using a tag system to sort content, and users enter similar tags.

For example:

flower and flowers...

which means the difference between singular and plural. Judging by other sites which are around, this problem is not solved at all, they simply let you add as many tags as you want and then rank the most used tags, it indeed is a solution, but seems more like a walk-around solution to me.

Any ideas how somebody could approach to solve this one?

EDIT:

My suggestion would be an analysis function, which analyzes the entered tag and then suggests the user that similar tags have been already entered and perhaps he wants to choose one of those which have been already entered. This does work though with a high traffic websites what can happen is the following:

php and php5

You can end up with two similar tags which are both widely used though have different meanings to the user base.

This one could be solved by simply prohibiting similar tags with little additions or changes, and so to speak "forcing" the user to choose something which is already there. May be a way, though it can turn out as a bad solution as well.

Do anyone know how i can put the html tags in the same line as the other html tags?

Here's an example:

Code: [Select]
Images | Link | Delete | Enabled

On my code, it break the tags to the new line without put on the same line as the other tags.


Here's the code:

Code: [Select]
[code]<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbtable');

    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {
  die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }

    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);
    if($username == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
    if($password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'PASSWORD ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
  $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'";
  $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  $qrytable1="SELECT images, id, public FROM members WHERE username='$username'";
  $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {  
  echo '<p id="images"> <a href="images.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Images</a></td> | <a href="http://' .  $row["links"] . '">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Delete</a> </td> |  <p> <p id="test">'.$row['Public'].'</td>'';
  }
}
}
?>[/code]

Say I have the following text stored in a MySQL database...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>
and I retrieve it into a variable called $text, how do I properly echo that so that it keeps the bold tags and actually display the text "Classic quote from movie" in BOLD?

I'm doing something wrong somewhere along the line (simply doing "echo $text;") because it displays on the page as...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>

Instead of...

Classic Quote from movie

Any info on properly storing and echoing back HTML would be very appreciated.

First problem fixed.
My second problem is if the result is 0X.XX,0 or 0X.XX,1 I would like to remove the first 0
The X.XX are numbers, but the 0 is not always there.

Can anyone help please
Thanks
