PHP - Making A Php Search
Hi, I am trying to make a search based on information about a user in the database. Here is my code so far, notice any words like "and" or "the" in a multiword entry would mess it up. Any advice greatly appreciated. Ideally I would like a list of the matches by user name, and put the word "match" next to the matching data, because I used the OR statement it is going to bring back all of the user's info if one of the criteria matches. Any tutorials on the subject or keywords for google would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
here is the search code. Code: [Select] <?php ini_set ("display_errors", "1"); error_reporting(E_ALL); $host = " ; $database = " "; $username = " "; $password = " "; $tbl_name = "users"; $conn = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); if($conn) { mysql_select_db($database); echo "connected to database!!"; } else { echo "failed to select database"; } //include('bouncer.php'); //$currentUser = $_SESSION['myusername']; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $dob = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['dob']); $gender = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['gender']); $ethnic = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['ethnic']); //THE SEARCH FUNCTION $sql = mysql_query ( "SELECT * FROM users WHERE dob LIKE '%$dob%' OR gender LIKE '%$gender%' OR race LIKE '%$ethnic%' OR dob LIKE '%$dob%' ") or die(mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query($sql) or die( "<br>Query: $sql<br>Failed with error: " . mysql_error() ); if (!$result) { echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error(); exit; } if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting"; exit; } // While a row of data exists, put that row in $row as an associative array // Note: If you're expecting just one row, no need to use a loop // Note: If you put extract($row); inside the following loop, you'll // then create $userid, $fullname, and $userstatus while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row["dob"]; echo $row["gender"]; echo $row["race"]; } }//if(isset($_POST['submit'])) ?> <html> <body> <p>Login Successful</p> <p> </p> <form action="login_success7.php" method="post"> <p> <input name="dob" type="text" size="20" id="dob" /> Date of Birth<br /> <input type="text" name="gender" size="20" id="gender" /> Gender <br /> <input type="text" name="ethnic" size="20" id="ethnic" /> Ethnicity <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value=" search" /> <input type="reset" value="Reset fields" /> </p> </form> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsThe 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. df 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 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 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.

Natasha T 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.

I get the whole form validation thingy, but what about from the standpoint of how/where I store data in my database and how I keep track of who is logged in and where they can go, and so on? Thanks, Debbie Hi guys! new to forum and to coding. I have poured over the forums and lots of places for an answer. I am not sure if this is due to my thus far limited understanding or, nto a specific enough question was asked. Basically it was suggested to me to make a link on a site from this: Search our Catalog: It was asked that I tie a link to that text and make it sort of a button so that when clicked, it takes someone to our catalog. The site is built with Drupal 6 and uses Danland theme and and a WYSIWYG.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. cud any1 tell me why this happens? when i run SOME of the php script using localhost, it says APACHE HTTP SERVER STOP WORKING |
