PHP - Searching Within A Pdf File Via Php
I was kind of looking for a little direction, I have scoured the internet and exhausted every other resource I could think of before coming here...
Does anyone know of any classes or resources that have some solid explanation or can give an explanation on how to go about searching within a PDF file?? I have literally beren trying to figure it out for over a year...I need to wrap this up it is consuming my life. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance Similar TutorialsI have a large text file that I need to search and extract text from. I have some code that somewhat works but is not good for what I need because it only reads one line at a time. I need to be able to echo all code between two strings and continue scanning the entire document. I am attaching the TXT file that is being read by the script: Here is the script: Code: [Select] <? $searchthis = "Problem:"; $search="Check:"; $matches = array(); $handle = @fopen("1numbers.txt", "r")or die("can't open file"); if ($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgets($handle); if(strpos($buffer, $searchthis) !== FALSE) echo "<br>". $buffer."<br>"; if(strpos($buffer, $search) !== FALSE) echo "<br>". $buffer."<br>"; } fclose($handle); } ?> you can see what this script outputs by visiting this link: http://yourautofix.com/data/data.php but my problem is it only outputs one line of text that finds the search match. I need it to output all lines of text between two matches for example any text between "Problem:" and "Check:" should be Echo'd and any text between "Check:" and "Likely:" should be echo'd there may be 1 line or 20 lines of text between the tags... I need to print all lines between the 2 determined search strings and then continue through the text file displaying all matches between the search strings in a large file. any thoughts on how I can get this done or point me in the right direction? Thanks for any input on this Paul Hey, I'm new to php and I made a webpage that searches a text file and displays a list of courses I've taken depending on what you type into a textbox. I want to change it instead into two drop-down boxes (one for department one for semester) and a all button so that it's neater and to prevent errors. Here is what I have currently: http://codepad.org/nX6g9zh2 Please help! Thank you! I have come across couple of similar answers for my question in this form, but could not solve my exact problem. Therefore I am posting this he I have an xml file as shown below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <document> <user> <user_id>0121</user_id> <name>Tim</name> <file>0121.file</file> </user> <user> <user_id>0178</user_id> <name>Henry</name> <file>0178.file</file> </user> <user> <user_id>0786</user_id> <name>Martin</name> <file>0786.file</file> </user> <user> <user_id>1239</user_id> <name>Jan</name> <file>1239.file</file> </user> </document> I ask the user to input his user_id and post this user_id and perform a check on the entire xml file to check whether the entered user_id exists in the xml file or not. If exists then I go further if not echo a error message. Can anybody pull me out of this? Thanks So I've full text indexed the columns I want searchable: I have some rows inserted: Yet when I run a match() against(), I get 0 results: If I do: Code: [Select] SELECT * FROM video WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('test') I get 2 results. Why does that work, yet keywords don't? I've been reading a few tutorials on how the best way to search key words in a database and at the moment im trying to get this query to work but its coming back with a error:
#1191 - Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column listquery:
SELECT title, description
FROM items
WHERE MATCH(title, description) AGAINST('xbox')
any help or advise on how the best way to search 2 columns on matching words...thank you

At the moment, my products are displaying one by one. For example, I have an apple and apricot in my table. The user searches 'a' and the search results show 'apple' but not apricot. Here's my code: Code: [Select] <?php require_once('inc/global.inc.php'); # search.inc.php /* * This is the search content module. * This page is included by index.php. * This page expects to receive $_GET['terms']. */ // Redirect if this page was accessed directly: if (!defined('BASE_URL')) { // Need the BASE_URL, defined in the config file: require_once ('../includes/config.inc.php'); // Redirect to the index page: $url = BASE_URL .

Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading. I am working on a poject, where the search functions doesnt work as the user wishes. The coding is technically correct, but the idea behind it is wrong. Basically at the moment, the script receives this: thesite.com/search.php?q=xxxx&Submit=Search The search script then runs a database query to search the tag coloumn, looking for like $q. This would work, however the structure of the coloumn is tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4. So my resolutions is this so far: I explode the $q variable, via the + (if you search more than one term "thesite.com/search.php?q=search+stuff&Submit=Search" I then count the elements in the array and write the database function accordingly Code: [Select] $var = @$_GET['q'] ; $trimmed = trim($var); $searchpieces = explode("+", $trimmed); $dbquery=""; $count = count($searchpieces); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { if($i == 0){$dbquery.="tags = $searchpieces[$i]";} elseif($i > 0){$dbquery.=" OR tags = $searchpieces[$i]";} } So my database query is $sql = "select * from gallery where $dbquery order by date DESC " . $limit; so my question is this.. how to i eplode the tags database coloumn, so my datase query an look at each tag fro "tag1, tag2, tag3" as "tag1" "tag2" "tag3" I am not even sure if this is possible, but its the system that is already in place. The problem with the current system, is because the pictures have alot of tags and the database query is $like $q, it just shows all images in the database as the result Dear All, Greetings! I am a student and have a final semester project of making a php based form to search a database. Database is already created: Username: test password: test1 Details: DB Name: resume_bank, Table Name: Candidate Table contents: Name, Phone, Address, DOB, Gender, Designation, experience_yrs, experience_months, Employment_Status I need the code which would give the user an option to search using AND, OR, ALL functions. Friends please help. The form should look like: Enter the Designation you are looking for: Enter the experience: Yrs___ Months___ Select Gender: The result must come in another webpage which has numbered display results, like page-1, page-2, page3... PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!!!!!!! ANY BODY HAS READY MADE CODE PLEASE SEND IT!!!!!! Thanks. Hi, as a newbee i'm trying to figure this code out:
$search = get_the_title();
$lines = file('links.txt');
// Store true when the text is found
$found = false;
foreach($lines as $line)
{
if(strpos($line, $search) !== false)
{
$found = true;
echo $line,"<br/>";
}
}
// If the text was not found, show a message
if(!$found)
{
echo 'not found';
links.txt file contains links like: <a href="https://blabla.com/blablabla/blablablabla/The word or file to search" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The word or file to search</a> I just want to search the this part: ( ">The word or file to search</a> ) of the url then return it as an clickable url and also limit search results to 3. Could somebody help me which code and where to put in php code above? Thanks in advance. Hey, Looking to find a solution to something. I have been experimenting making a template engine for a website I am building. How can I search a variable for all occurrences of {VARIABLE} eg. {Username} {Title} {Content} so I can str_replace them. Thank you I am including my test.php for other to run. I have a very large array of concatenated hash values. I have another array that contains the first 8 hash values of the other array. I have a function to locate them in the larger array. Depending on their index value I then choose the index of the value before or behind them for adding to something else later. This 'computeWalk' method works for small arrays but for larger arrays I notice duplicates or errors with larger ones. For example. The first array returns: Array ( => 1 [1] => 18 [2] => 18 [3] => 35 [4] => 33 [5] => 33 ) The values for i's to get each of these values are I = 0 I = 19 I = 29 I = 34 I = 37 I = 39 Walking through the method by hand, 0%2 = 0 So the first element of the array will be 1. CORRECT. 19%2 = 1 So the next element will be 18. CORRECT. 29%2 = 1 The next element should be 28. It returns 18. 34%2 = 0 The next element will be 35. Correct. 37%2 = 1 The next element should be 36. It returns 33. 39%2 = 1 The next element should be 38. It returns 33. I am not sure why it's doing the above. I also tried array_search and it computed it the same way. Would appreciate any help. <?php $arrayTree = array(); $arrayTree[0] = "9d027b1c4068d81287c9170f4b291387f8327eb7"; $arrayTree[1] = "4c8fabdc24c2d8205db916a22e9459195833a272"; $arrayTree[2] = "209526afab9e85b54e1832a820a7f578b7760af0";

I've got a simple script that is searching for the results of running races in a database.
Searching for a finisher's position works perfectly with this script:
$position = $_POST['position'];
$pos_operator = $_POST['pos_operator'];
if ($pos_operator == '=' && $position != '' )
{
$where .= " AND position='$position'";
}
if ($pos_operator == '<' && $position != '' )
{
$where .= " AND position<'$position'";
}
$position refers to a text field in the form where the user can type in a digit.
$pos_operator refers to a text field in the form where a user can select = or <
However, when I try to do a similar thing with time, I'm not getting the expected results.
$time_stated = strtotime($_POST['time_stated']);
if ($time_stated != '' ) {
$where .= " AND time < '$time_stated'"; }
$time_stated refers to a text field where the user is asked to look for a time less than the time they input in xx:xx:xx format.
I tried this with and without the strtotime
Any tips?
Cheers,
Dave
I don't mean to bother you with silly questions, but I must be using the wrong search terms to find any viable answers to this. Hypothetical situation: I have a table [Customers] with with an auto-increment id, customer_name and email generated from a form. Now, I decide to expand my database to include customer-address and telephone number. I decide to create a second table named Contactinfo for this purpose (assuming this is a better database practice). As Customerinfo is generated, I want it to POST in association with the respective customer (assuming that 'id' is the best field for association). I need some examples and best practices to accomplish this. Examples, links, or preferred terminology would be great so I can attack this phase. Thanks. |
