PHP - Searching Mysql Table By Variable
Hello, I am working on a project and I cant seem to get this to work. I have a database (Kingsbury) that stores a contact list. I am trying to make an page were a user can search the database by state. The code from the HTML site is:
Code: [Select] <form action = "sqlllist.php" method="post"><br /> Please enter the state you would like to search: <input type="text" name="state" /><br /> <p><input type="submit" value="Enter" /></p> </form> And then from the .php file Code: [Select] <?php $DBConnect = mysql_connect("*****", "*****", "********"); if ($DBConnect===FALSE) echo "<p>Connection Failed!.</p>\n"; else { $State == $_POST['state']; $Result = mysql_select_db("Kingsbury", $DBConnect); $queryresult = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE State = $State'", $DBConnect); echo "<table width='100%' border='1'>\n"; echo "<tr><th>User ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Address</th> <th>State</th> <th>City</th> <th>Zip Code</th> <th>Area Code</th> <th>Phone Number</th>\n"; While (($Row = mysql_fetch_row($queryresult)) !== FALSE) { echo "<tr><td>{$Row[0]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[1]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[2]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[3]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[4]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[5]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[6]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[7]}</td>"; echo "<td>{$Row[8]}</td>"; } echo "</table>\n"; mysql_free_result($queryresult); mysql_close($DBConnect); } ?> This, to me seems like it should be working, but it outputs the entire database. Similar TutorialsI have a form passing user's search term, ie name. $pname = mysql_real_escape_string($pname; Not sure on proper syntax to include this in my select statement. I also want it to return for partial string matched, like 'mik' for 'mike': $result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM guest WHERE name like '$pname'" ); 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 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. im trying to crete a page that will search mysql for entrys from ??? days previous. ive not started on the php yet as i wanted to get the query done but im having a slight problem. date is in dd/mm/yyyy format. if i run this query SELECT * FROM `dsgi_serval` WHERE date >= '10/09/2010' it ONLY sorts by DD and not MM or YYYY, so anything greater than the 10th of the month shows regardless of what month. when i get to the php ill either do a drop down box with a preset number or days or a text box where u enter the number of days or even a txt box u enter the actual day u want to search from. im undecided which would be best. another problem i face with the php is how to tell the script to search from ? ?? when it says search from the past 3 days? <?php $date = date("d/m/y"); // todays date 04/12/2010 $_post= 3 days; // search from 01/12/2010 $date - $_post = $search; // 01/12/2010; $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name" where date >= '$search'; echo the results ?> i no the above is not proper php but i hope it saya what im trying to do. Thanks Hey guys, im trying to select only certain rows that matchs the address in a array. Not sure how to do this This is making the array $siege_check3 = "SELECT address FROM planets WHERE siege='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['goauld'])."'"; $siege_check2 = mysql_query($siege_check3) or die(mysql_error()); $arr = array(); while($siege_check1 = mysql_fetch_array($siege_check2)) { $siege_planets = $siege_check1['address']; $arr[] = $siege_planets; } Then I want to AND grab rows where defender_planet equals one of the address in the array above tried using in_array but telling me its not a valid function $alert3 = "SELECT * FROM travel WHERE defender_id = '" .($_SESSION['user_id'])."' AND stance = 2 AND stealth_tech < '".($stealth_tech)."' AND address= in_array(defender_planet,$arr) ORDER BY arrived_time DESC"; $alert2 = mysql_query($alert3) or die(mysql_error()); while($alert1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($alert2)) { } Hi there,
I'm a bit of a newbie and I have done a search online, but i'm still confused.
I need to search my MYSQL database in a filed named date_mod I need to search for todays date only $date=gmdate("Y-m-d");
But however the field is a datetime option so how can I search only todays date and not both date and time.
Thank you for reading.
This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=322398.0 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.

Say that I have a list in my MySQL database that contains elements "A", "S", "C", "D" etc... Now, I want to generate an html table where these elements should be distributed in a random and unique way while leaving some entries of the table empty, see the picture below. But, I have no clue how to do this... Any hints? Thanks in advance, Vero Hello everyone, Sorry if this has been answered but if it has I can't find it anywhere. So, from the begining then. Lets say I had a member table and in it I wanted to store what their top 3 interests are. Their$ row has all the usual things to identify them userID and password etc.. and I had a further 3 columns which were labled top3_1 top3_2 & top3_3 to put each of their interests in from a post form. If instead I wanted to store this data as a PHP Array instead (using 1 column instead of 3) is there a way to store it as readable data when you open the PHPmyadmin? At the moment all it says is array and when I call it back to the browser (say on a page where they could review and update their interests) it displays 'a' as top3_01 'r' as top3_02 and 'r' as top3_03 (in each putting what would be 'array' as it appears in the table if there were 5 results. Does anyone know what I mean? For example - If we had a form which collected the top 3 interests to put in a table called users, Code: [Select] <form action="back_to_same_page_for_processing.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="top3_01" type="text" value="enter interest number 1 here" /> <input name="top3_02" type="text" value="enter interest number 2 here" /> <input name="top3_03" type="text" value="enter interest number 3 here" /> <input type="submit" name="update_button" value=" Save and Update! " /> </form> // If my quick code example for this form is not correct dont worry its not the point im getting at :) And they put 'bowling' in top3_01, 'running' in top3_02 and 'diving' in top3_03 and we catch that on the same page with some PHP at the top --> Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' With me so far? If I had a table which had 3 columns (1 for each interest) I could put something like - Code: [Select] include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("Select * FROM users WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); mysql_query("UPDATE users SET top3_01='$top3_01', top3_02='$top3_02', top3_03='$top3_03' WHERE id='$id'"); And hopefully if ive got it right, it will put them each in their own little column. Easy enough huh? But heres the thing, I want to put all these into an array to be stored in the 1 column (say called 'top3') and whats more have them clearly readable in PHPmyadmin and editable from there yet still be able to be called back an rendered on page when requested. Continuing the example then, assuming ive changed the table for the 'top3' column instead of individual colums, I could put something like this - Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' $top3_array = array($top3_01,$top3_02,$top3_03); include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("UPDATE members SET top3='$top3_array' WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); But it will appear in the column as 'Array' and when its called for using a query it will render the literal string. a r r in each field instead. Now I know you can use the 'serialize()' & 'unserialize()' funtcions but it makes the entry in the database practically unreadable. Is there a way to make it readable and editable without having to create a content management system? If so please let me know and I'll be your friend forever, lol, ok maybe not but I'd really appreciate the help anyways. The other thing is, If you can do this or something like it, how am I to add entries to that array to go back into the data base? I hope ive explained myself enough here, but if not say so and I'll have another go. Thanks very much people, L-PLate (P.s if I sort this out on my own ill post it all here) I know I'm doing it something right, but can someone tell me why only one table is showing up? Can you help me fix the issue? Heres my code: function showcoords() { echo"J3st3r's CoordVision"; $result=dbquery("SELECT alliance, region, coordx, coordy FROM ".DB_COORDFUSION.""); dbarray($result); $fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result); echo "<table border='1'>"; // printing table headers echo "<td>Alliance</td>"; echo "<td>Region</td>"; echo "<td>Coord</td>"; // printing table rows while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element // of $row to $cell variable foreach($row AS $Cell) echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$row['alliance']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['region']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['coordx'].",".$row['coordy']."</td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>"; mysql_free_result($result); } I have 2 rows inserted into my coords table. Just frustrated and ignorant to php. Hi, I am very new to this. Can someone point me in the right direction please. I have mysql database which contains a variable $pricelist. The client is registered via an admin area. Is sent the login (email and password). Once logged in they see their details. All this works fine. Each client will have a different price list, total number of price lists options will be about 10. In the database the variable will return pricelist1.pdf or pricelist2.pdf etc. This is also OK. My question is how do I provide a hyperlink to the pricelist1.pdf file (which is located on the server) for the client to view and download if they wish? Thanks in advance. I am trying to extract a value that is stored in a variable from my database. It will not work with how I have the code written. If I replace .$tournament with what I want it to find, it will give me the correct result. ANy suggestions? Below is my code: Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM `2012_tournaments` WHERE tournament = .$tournament"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['id']; }; Hi again everyone, I am trying to compare a php variable to the value of a row in mysql, but keep getting the following error: Code: [Select] Wrong perameter count for mysql_result() What syntax would I use to accomplish this? Here is my code: // connects to server and selects database. include ("../includes/dbconnect.inc.php"); // table name $table_name = "availability"; // split up date into 3 separate fields $date = "12/25/2010"; $date_split = explode("/", $date); $month = $date_split[0]; $day = $date_split[1]; $year = $date_split[2]; // check if earth room is already reserved $taken = "Reserved"; $sql = "SELECT earth_room FROM $table_name WHERE month='$month' AND day='$day' AND year='$year' LIMIT 1"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error("A mysql error has occurred!"); $row = mysql_result($result); if($row == $taken){ echo "Room Already Reserved"; } else{ echo "Room Available"; } Thanks for the help, kaiman I have a mysql field that I want to store a php variable in and then retrieve it.
Example:
Color table has the field named colorBackground with the value of #FF0000
CSS table has the field named cssBackground with the value of .background { background-color: #444444; }
What I want to do is make Color/colorBackground a variable {{$backgroundcolor = rsColor['colorBackground']
Then I want to change the CSS/cssBackground value to .background { background-color:$backgroundcolor; }
Creating the $backgroundcolor works fine. I'm just not sure how to put the $backgroundcolor in my CSS/cssBackground field.
