PHP - Help With Inline Editing Mysql Search Results
Hello. I hope someone out there can help me with this as I have been trying all different ways to make this work but to no avail. I have a report.php page that allows a user to search 3 particular fields in a database to retrieve search results that displays itself on the same page. What I am looking to do is have both an EDIT and DELETE button/link for each queried result that is retrieved allowing the user to edit or delete the search result of their choice. Or, how to implement some inline editing on the results that are retrieved by the search query. Here is the code I have so far with the EDIT or DELETE options feature that I am wanting to utilize.

Thanks For Your Help Guys! Say a user puts in a support request, and for every request it generates a unqiue string, and enters it into the database. Ok, now say there is a text field, when the user enters their unique string and it finds a match, it displays the data along with it. How can I accomplish this? Im kind of new to mysql, but I know basic SQL. Would be great if somebody could point me in the right direction! Thanks I have a simple (1 table, 14 fields) database. I'm using 9 separate search boxes from my search page : http://www.cinemaposter.com/database.html There are currently 162 entries. Hitting "submit" throws them all out, same with valid input into any box, with the exception of "country" - example : entering "F" gives 20results; "PL" gives 34 results. Here's my code (to simplify, I only went down to the 4th box ('country' - the last and only one giving correct results). I'm one sorry newbie.... please help !

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 Hello all, I am new to php coding and have a couple of problems with editing records in my database! I have two files below one test.php and edit.php.

I don't sanitize my data on input because I am using prepared statements with PHP's PDO Driver which means I don't need to use mysql_real_escape_string() at all. When I pull the data to be displayed i.e. in a HTML Table I use the below function to make it safe for HTML output. public static function htmlSafe($data) { return nl2br(htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES)); } However the rules change when Im using a HTML Form to edit the data, and I am unsure what I need to strip out. I.e. What would I need to do to make all data safe to insert into the following form input. <input id = "someInput" type = "text" value = "<?php echo $someVarThatNeedsFiltering ?>" /> Also, one more question, in my html attributes (Valid ones like class, name, id, style, _target) I use a mixture of double quotes(") and single quotes ('), for quoting my values. Which one should I use or which one is more valid, doubles, or singles? The result pages is supposed to have pagination like google help me please

I have two files the main search.php file and the search_func.php file Here is the search.php file Code: [Select] <form method='post' action='search.php'> <fieldset> <input type='text' name='search' id='search' value='type name here'/> <input type='submit' name='search_submit' id='search_submit' value='search'/> </fieldset> </form> <?php include('includes/search_func.php'); if(isset($_POST['search'])) { $keywords = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(trim($_POST['search']))); $errors = array (); if (empty($keywords )){ $errors[] = 'Please enter a search term'; } else if (strlen($keywords ) < 3 ) { $errors[] = 'Search term must be more then three characters long'; } else if (search_results($keywords == false)) { $errors[] = 'Your search for ' .$keywords . ' showed no results'; } if (empty($errors)) { $results = search_results($keywords ); $results_num = count($results); $suffix = ($results_num != 1) ? 's' : ''; echo 'Your search for <strong>'. $keywords .'</strong> returned <strong>' .$results_num.'</strong> result'.$suffix.''; foreach($results as $result) { echo $result['first']; } } else { foreach($errors as $error){ echo $error; } } } ?> Here is the search_func.php file Code: [Select] <?php include('includes/config.php'); connect(); function search_results($keywords ) { $returned = array(); $where = ""; $keywords = preg_split('/[\s+]/', $keywords ); $total = count($keywords ); foreach($keywords as $key=>$keyword) { $where .= "`l_name` LIKE '%$keyword%'"; if($key != ($total - 1)){ $where .= "OR"; } } $results = "SELECT `l_name`,`f_name`,`image`,`item_return` FROM `ttmautos` WHERE $where"; $results_num = ($results = mysql_query($results)) ? mysql_num_rows($results): 0 ; if ($results_num === 0) { return false; } else { while($results_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $returned_results[] = array( 'last' => $results_row['l_name'], 'first' => $results_row['f_name'], 'image' => $results_row['image'], 'item' => $results_row['item_return'] ); } return $returned_results; } } ?> If anyone could give me an idea of what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it. Hey Guys, Here is my issue. I have a MySQL database with a table of products. I use this table to generate a mutliselect form element that is used int a larger form. The larger form contains other information relevant to an issue that we are having with that product (such as an outage). Anyway, the form works fine and the form validation works fine and I write it to the database fine. The issue I'm having is how to save the mutliselect options most efficiently. This is my current process: 1. User creates a new entry from the form and clicks save 2. The form is validated 3. All entries are written to the database in a table called "incidents" (content inclues, timestamps, description of the problem, the impact, who to contact, etc) 4. Because the products list can vary from 1 product to all (~30) products I broke it out into a separate table called "impacted_products". I then loop through each of the selected products and write one row for each product using the id from the row in the "incidents" table to define the tables relationship. Example of DB results: "incidents" +-----------------+------+----------+---------------------+---------+---------+ | notification_id | what | impact | time_start | summary | contact | +-----------------+------+----------+---------------------+---------+---------+ | 235235 | Test | None.... | 2011-02-08 13:41:00 | Test | 3 | +-----------------+------+----------+---------------------+---------+---------+ "impacted_products" +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ | id | notification_id | product_id | timestamp | deleted | +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ | 202 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | | 203 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | | 204 | 235235 | 23 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ 5. Now the users wants to go back and make some updates. 6. They click the edit button from the menu on screen and the form is brought back up and all options/fields are filled out from that which is stored in the database. 7. They make their edits and save again. 8. Now this time it simple updates the "incidents" table but for the products table I do a: "UPDATE impacted_products SET deleted=1 WHERE notification_id='$ID'" and "delete" all the old impacted_products for this particular incident and then loop through all the products that the user still had selected and write them to the database again. 9. And repeat So as you can see this could end up with a lot of "useless" entries in the database since my scripts only pay attention to those "impacted_products" whose deleted value is set to 0. Example: +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ | id | notification_id | product_id | timestamp | deleted | +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ | 176 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-08 15:26:25 | 1 | | 177 | 235235 | 43 | 2011-02-08 15:26:25 | 1 | | 178 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-08 15:37:58 | 1 | | 179 | 235235 | 43 | 2011-02-08 15:37:58 | 1 | | 180 | 235235 | 1 | 2011-02-08 15:39:49 | 1 | | 181 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-08 15:39:49 | 1 | | 182 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-08 15:39:49 | 1 | | 183 | 235235 | 43 | 2011-02-08 15:39:49 | 1 | | 184 | 235235 | 1 | 2011-02-08 15:40:53 | 1 | | 185 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-08 15:40:53 | 1 | | 186 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-08 15:40:53 | 1 | | 187 | 235235 | 43 | 2011-02-08 15:40:53 | 1 | | 188 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 10:00:47 | 1 | | 189 | 235235 | 1 | 2011-02-10 12:17:05 | 1 | | 190 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-10 12:17:05 | 1 | | 191 | 235235 | 13 | 2011-02-10 12:17:05 | 1 | | 192 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 12:17:05 | 1 | | 193 | 235235 | 23 | 2011-02-10 12:17:05 | 1 | | 194 | 235235 | 1 | 2011-02-10 12:21:52 | 1 | | 195 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-10 12:21:52 | 1 | | 196 | 235235 | 13 | 2011-02-10 12:21:52 | 1 | | 197 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 12:21:52 | 1 | | 198 | 235235 | 23 | 2011-02-10 12:21:52 | 1 | | 199 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-10 12:22:26 | 1 | | 200 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 12:22:26 | 1 | | 201 | 235235 | 23 | 2011-02-10 12:22:26 | 1 | | 202 | 235235 | 7 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | | 203 | 235235 | 37 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | | 204 | 235235 | 23 | 2011-02-10 14:30:42 | 0 | +-----+-----------------+------------+---------------------+---------+ I did it this way beacuase it seems the easiest and fastest way. Otherwise I would have to lookup all the impacted_products from the table that match that notification_id and check 1) Was there a new product selected? If so, add it. 2) Was a product that was selected no longer selected? If so, delete it. 3) Was a product that was selected before still selected now? If so, leave it alone. This seemed like a lot of extra looping and a lot of extra DB queries to essentially end up at the same place. However, I feel that there has still got to be a more efficient way of doing this where I won't have all the extra entries in the impacted_products table. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! I have a page that I am using to search a database. Basically what I want to do is allow the end user to sort by column headings after the search results are returned. The sort code that I am using works fine on a "lesser complicated" page that does not involve $_GET variables. I am not sure however if I adapted it properly. Also, I am having problems adding the new $_GET variables to the URL string when the user chooses to sort the returned search results. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. My code is below: Code: [Select] <?php //////////////////// INITIATE SESSION //////////////////// if (!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } //////////////////// ALLOW ACCESS ONLY TO ADMINISTRATORS //////////////////// if ($_SESSION['person_priveleges'] == 0) { header("location:index.php"); } //////////////////// CONNECT AND SELECT DATABASE //////////////////// require_once('connect.php'); mysql_select_db($database, $connect); //////////////////// GET STATES //////////////////// $state = mysql_query("SELECT state_abbreviation FROM state ORDER BY state_abbreviation ASC", $connect); $data_state = mysql_fetch_assoc($state); $rows_state = mysql_num_rows($state); //////////////////// GET USER SEARCH RESULTS //////////////////// if (array_key_exists('search', $_GET)) { $error = array();

exit; } The next link is defined by the code below: Code: [Select] // check to see if last page if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) { // not last page so give NEXT link $news=$s+$limit; echo " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next 10 >></a>"; } Can anyone see where I have gone wrong with this code without me sending the whole search form? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Hi guys, A beginner at php/mysql here... For a project I'm doing, I would like to display search results with an image, small description, then a 'read more' link. After googling this issue, I can't find much information on it, which surprised me. Someone did mention blobs for images... (whatever they are!) I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials, or has any code to do this? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks. |
