PHP - Please Help Improve My Search Facility

Hello.
I have written this script where user restaurant owner can add his place to the database of all local restaurants.
(insert basic information into database, add up to 3 images, thumbnail creation, insert image information to database).

It works well on localhost, but i would like some suggestions for improvement.
Im not very sure of its structure, it may not execute well once it is online.
And i also think there are too many "IF's". But i really have no idea how to do it any other way.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if(!defined('PROTECTION') || constant('PROTECTION') != 'demover')
 {
echo "fuck off intruder!";
exit;  
 }
 
$naziv = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Naziv']);
$naslov = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Naslov']);
$kraj = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Kraj']);
$telefon = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Telefon']);
$web = "http://www.".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Spletna']);
$gm = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Lokacija']);

//$gmaps = gmParse($gm);
$gmaps = 10;

$fill="INSERT INTO bpoint
(sName, sAddr, placeID, sPhone, sWeb, sGMaps, companyID)
VALUES 
('$naziv','$naslov','$kraj','$telefon','$web','$gmaps','$cID')";

if (mysql_query($fill)) {
    
    $lastID=mysql_insert_id();
    $path="./truck/".$cID."/".$lastID;
    $pname=$_FILES["pic"]["tmp_name"];
    $num=0;
    
    if (count($_FILES["pic"]) && mkdir($path, 0777)) {
        
        include "thumbs.php";
        foreach($pname as $imag){
        $bname=date("YmdHis").$num;
        $num++;
        $finalpath=$path."/".$bname.".jpg";
        $finalthumb=$path."/".$bname."_thumb.jpg";
            
            if($imag!="") {
                
                if (move_uploaded_file($imag, $finalpath)) {
                    
                    make_thumb($finalpath,$finalthumb,150);
                    mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (name, companyID) VALUES ('$finalpath', '$cID')");
  
                }
                
            }

Please feel free to use this code in any way if you need to:
I will appreciate any help in rewriting this code to improve it by showing ellipsis.

The way the code is now shows this:
Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next

I would like some help in rewriting the code so that we can get an ellipsis and show something like this:
Previous 1 ... 4 5 6 7 ... 10 Next

Please post your improved version of this code (showing the ellipsis).
I would like for it to work when sorting as well thats why the ' &sort=' . $sort .  is included in the code.


Thank you in advance.

I am fairly comfortable with procedural PHP but when it comes to classes and OO I am learning.

I have written a small class to get all of the information from the URL. I am sure I have added my own style and broken about a million rules. I have already found places to improve this but I thought I would bounce it off everyone here before I started to make changes and started expanding it. I am also aware that there are classes that I can download that do this much better but I am trying to better understand how they work so I think this is a good start.

Can you just look it over and point out things that I have done wrong and give me some general pointers on how to improve it.

This contact form works fairly well, but I do get spam. Can you add something to this existing form that will make it a little better at not letting spam thru?

I have a download youtube site http://downloadvideoasmp3.com/
I would like to review an tell me what can be done to be improved.

I have started learning OOP, by following a few tutorials, My problem with most tutorial is they show you how, but don't tell you the what and the why. It's all good an well seeing what to do, but if you have no idea why it's being done, you don't learn much. I started a tutorial on Udemy but am not actually gaining a lot from it. I want to alter the code so that it will do it the way I want it to.

I am not wanting you to write the code for me, if you do please explain it so that I can understand the logic, preferably show me where to make changes and point me at the php tutorial that can solve my problem. I have been trying to solve this for a couple of weeks now, I tried a few things but none worked. 

The full followLinks function
 

function followLinks($url) {
	global $alreadyCrawled;
	global $crawling;
	$host = parse_url($url)["host"];
		
	$parser = new DomDocumentParser($url);
	
	$linkList = $parser->getLinks();

	foreach($linkList as $link) {
		$href = $link->getAttribute("href");
		
		if((substr($href, 0, 3) !== "../") AND (strpos($href, $host) === false)) {
			continue;
		}
		else if(strpos($href, "#") !== false) {
			continue;
		}
		else if(substr($href, 0, 11) == "javascript:") {
			continue;
		}

		// I need to change this below somehow, the two arrays are identical, 
		// What I want to do is move $href(crawled) to $alreadyCrawled  and remove it from $crawling
		// I also want to check if the current $href (crawling) is in $alreadyCrawled and if it is skip crawling and move on to the next one.
		
		//In essence I want to prevent the crawler from crawling anything already crawled in order to speed up the crawler.

		$href = createLink($href, $url);

		if(!in_array($href, $alreadyCrawled)) {
			$alreadyCrawled[] = $href;
			$crawling[] = $href;
		} else { continue;}

		

		echo $href . "<br>";
		
	}

	array_shift($crawling);

	foreach($crawling as $site) {	 		 		
	   followLinks($site); 
	} 	

}

$startUrl = "https://imagimedia.co.za";
followLinks($startUrl);
?>

Result.

From the ../blogs page there should be at least 20 more entries, that are not being listed. can anyone tell me why?

I know I am also going to have to exclude duplicates created by the http and https pages. But that is not my main issue. 

 The result pages is supposed to have  pagination like google  help me please

 

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.

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

I am developing a intranet forum in Php and MySQL and I am using ajax to display searched results on the same page but right now I am using query LIKE text% to search in database which is slower. but I want to make it fast search engin which can parse *,+ and show result.

Since I am using ajax i am not able to use free search engin,so if possible pls provide a complete solution

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.

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'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

Friends,

I want to extract the Search Keyword from the URL, a visitor came from. I am using a PHP CMS and want to show the Keyword on my Blog.

So if they search "abcd" from google, i want to extract "abcd" and echo on my blog.

Here is the coding i could got hold of, but its not working, not echoing anything

<?php
