I also want it to return for partial string matched, like 'mik' for 'mike': $result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM guest WHERE name like '$pname'" ); Hello PHP experts. Please help me on this. I have created a form at http://lakshwebdesign.com/clients/onev8llc/qualitynew-site/instantfreequote.html How do I add these 3 PHP functionalities to it:- 1) On submit, all the data be sent to an email address. 2) Also, record it in database. 3) Record date on which the form is submitted. I have knowledge of PHP and I can understand the codes somewhat so I am not a complete beginner of PHP. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm trying to do something that I thought was very simple about 2 weeks ago :-( I want to put a form on my site and link it to a database so when a user types a surname into the form they can search the db and the page will only display the surnames that match the search criteria. I got the db set up using phpmyadmin in about 2 minutes flat, but keep getting error messages when I write the php. I'm currently working with the below script, which keeps giving me the error 'unexpected T_string' on line 176 I've searched every forum and help site I can find, and the mysql and php manuals are just mind-boggling. I'm sure I'm making some really amateur mistake, but I'd really appreciate help with this! thanks all! <html> <head> <title>SEARCH RECORDS</title> </head> <body> <FORM NAME ="Search" METHOD ="POST" ACTION = "test3"> <INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" VALUE ="surname" NAME = "surname"> <INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Search" VALUE = "Search"> </FORM> </body> </html> <? $user_name = "*****"; $password = "*****"; $database = "*****"; $server = "localhost"; $db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password); $db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle); if ($db_found) { $SQL = "SELECT * FROM *****" WHERE surname=$_POST['surname']; $result = mysql_query($SQL); while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { print $db_field['Grave'] .

I want to insert a record into the database upon form submission but only if the record does not already exist. If the record exists, then I want it to be updated in the database.
What is happening: Upon form submit, a new record is entered into the database every time. Note: The contact_id column is both primary key and unique in my database. Here is my code:
if($_POST['submit']){ $con=mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","database_name"); // Check connection if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } $org = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['organization']); $namefirst = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['firstName']); $namelast = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['lastName']); $emailaddy = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); $phonenum = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone']); $appquestion = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['appquestion']); $banner = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['banner']); $bulletin = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['bulletin']); $giveaway = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['giveaway']); $app = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['app']); $tshirt = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tshirt']); $tshirtp = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tshirtp']); $print = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['print']); $party = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['party']); $orgnotes = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['notes']); $sql="INSERT INTO database_name (contact_id, first_name, last_name, email_address, phone_number, org, appquestion, banner, bulletin, giveaway, app, tshirt, promised_tee, print, party, org_notes) VALUES ('','$namefirst','$namelast','$emailaddy','$phonenum','$churchorg','$appquestion','$banner','$bulletin','$giveaway','$app','$tshirt','$tshirtp','$print','$party','$orgnotes') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE first_name = '$namefirst', last_name = '$namelast', email_address = '$emailaddy', phone_number = '$phonenum', org = '$org', appquestion = '$appquestion', banner = '$banner', bulletin = '$bulletin', giveaway = '$giveaway', app = '$app', tshirt = '$tshirt', promised_tee = '$tshirtp', print = '$print', party = '$party', org_notes = '$orgnotes'" ; if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) { die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con)); } echo "1 record added"; mysqli_close($con); }From everything I have read, I need to use ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE to replace the old information with new information in the database upon form submission. While the insert part of my code is working, the portion with ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is not working. Why might this portion of the code not be working? Is there a better way to insert else update the information? Thank you for any help or guidance you can give me! I've been working on this concept for three days and have read a ton of information about it, but am still not able to get it to work.

How can I search a variable for all occurrences of {VARIABLE} eg. {Username} {Title} {Content} so I can str_replace them.

Hi, I was wondering what would be a good way to search through html for specific tags using php so that I can insert some other html in to that? I have used some parsing of an html that was converted in to a string, but the way I did it might not be fully efficient lol So i was wondering how everyone else would go about this? I don't need a complete in depth description but at least a pointer to what i could do that way i can just search for it on my own. I have a text string and I need to find the value that appears after a certain value: Value that appears after "XXX:" "Test 123 Hello XXX: 1 Test 555"; So the value would be "1" Any ideas?
