PHP - Multiple Word Search Error?

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

does anyone have a code todo this? a snippet or soemthing ive tried a few diffrent ones ive seen but nothing that works.. it takes whats submited in search, then takes the words, breaks them up and creates a query string with all the diffrent feilds... here is what phpadmin produces when i search

Hi folks,

I am a complete n00b at php and mysql. I am teaching myself from books and the WWW, but alas I am stuck...

the error I get is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in X:\xampp\htdocs\search.php on line 7

here is the code:




<?php
  
  mysql_connect ("localhost", "user", "password") or die (mysql_error());
  mysql_select_db ("it_homehelp_test") or die (mysql_error());
  
  $term = $_POST['term'];
  $sql = $mysql_query(select * from it_homehelp_test where ClientName1 like '%term%');   <<<------this is line 7
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
   echo 'Client Name:' .$row['ClientName1'];
echo 'Address:' .$row['Address1'];
echo 'Phone:' .$row['Tel1'];
}
?>



Any help you can offer would be great. I can also post the ".html" file that creates the search bar if it is needed.

Thanks

got this function in php.net i guess


function mywordwrap($string)
{
$length = strlen($string);

for ($i=0; $i<=$length; $i=$i+1)
    {
    $char = substr($string, $i, 1);
    if ($char == "<")
        $skip=1;
    elseif ($char == ">")
        $skip=0;
    elseif ($char == " ")
        $wrap=0;

    if ($skip==0)
        $wrap=$wrap+1;

    $returnvar = $returnvar . $char;

    if ($wrap>8) // alter this number to set the maximum word length
        {
        $returnvar = $returnvar . "<wbr>";
        $wrap=0;
        }
    }

return $returnvar;

} 

 
after using this when i try to validate my page in http://validator.w3.org i get this error

Line 124, Column 38: end tag for "wbr" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
  <td width="15%">sdfasdfsdfadfddfdfsafasd<wbr>a</td>
✉
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

what is the fix for this?

I am searching the database for items that are plaques. There are different years of plaques. I find all the plaques sorted by year. My display puts them in rows of 4 max.
What I want is to display them by year with a different year on a different line.
Right now there are 4 (1963), 3 (1965), 1 (1978) all bunched together.
1963, 1963, 1963, 1963,
1965, 1965, 1965, 1978

What I want is:
1963, 1963, 1963, 1963,

1965, 1965, 1965,

1978,

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

How do I search through table 1, 2, 3 where a=x and b=y and c=z?

I'm looking to know the best way to process a search query that has multiple words in the search:

Code: [Select]
elseif(isset($_GET['search'])){
$search=$_GET['search'];
$keyword=explode(" ",$search);

//database query
}

Should I do a while loop query the database for each keyword?

Hi guys,   What I'm trying to accomplish sounds like fairly easy task but due to my poor knowledge of php this turned to be quite a challenge.    What I'm trying to do is to make a php script that will search the keywords on the multiple websites. Websites that I will search are all web shops, selling spare part for home appliances and keywords used are usually original spare part codes.   When searching, script is searching these websites using their own search functions and not Google or other search engines.   Input for this script should be a CSV file containing list of keywords and URLs of the web shops that needs to be search for all these keywords.

Here is the example:
http://prntscr.com/4ebhxh   Script should perform like this:

It picks up the 1st keyword, browse to the URL1, uses its search, searches for the product, if it finds it, copy its price and write it back to original input CSV. If it doesn't find match (search results appear empty) it should write "no match found" and continue to URL2, URL3 and so on... 

When all URLs from the list are checked for the 1st keyword, scripts picks up 2nd keyword and continues on through all these keywords are not checked.   This would be a resulting CSV file after the 1st keyword is checked:
http://prntscr.com/4ebj52

After all data from the input CSV file are processed, script should prompt a msg and create a download link for that CSV file to be downloaded.

If there are multiple matches, in other words if for one keyword some of the website searches find 2 or more products, something like "More then one match" should be written in the file. Example:

http://prntscr.com/4ebkcx

Please note that non of the website is using SSL and non of them requires login in order to display the prizes.
This fact should make this script easier to build.

Its not important for this script to run fast (its better I think to run it with some timeouts because of the server glitches and bottlenecks). What is more important is to make it automatic so one can start it over the night, over the weekends.

Number of the URLs would be around 10, and list of keywords from few tens, to a few hundred.    If I can provide some additional clarification and info I'm available. 
Of course I would be willing to pay someone to help me accomplish this task.

Cheers
Dean

I have 3 tables. 1)state(s_id, details);   2)univer(u_id,details,s_id);   3)sub(su-id,daetails,u_id, s_id)   Now there is a problem, for ever selection of state and univer there is multiple choice of sub and they can be common in different selections. And how to store these values in databse and can call in a selection menu. so how can i solve it?

Hi,
So I'm trying to make a car rental project, and I need to show cars of a specific type, available in a specific period.
I'm currently using this query:
SELECT * FROM car, reservations
WHERE car.car_id = reservations.car
AND car.type = 1 AND reservations.reserved_from >= "2011-12-22"
AND reservations.reserved_to <= "2012-12-20";

So this returns all the cars of the type 1 reserved in 2011-12-22 - 2012-12-20 period.
So know that I know which cars are unavailable, how would you go ahead and pick out what's left?

After a few days of searching and running across a problem what is almost like mine on these forums (cant seem to find the link now) where the person was looking to search a database using checkboxes.

What I am trying to do is use a list of checkboxes (http://www.animeseason.com/anime-list/categories/) exactly like this link and search my table which has the genres as columns.

I am new to PHP and don't really have a starting point. I have taken a bunch of examples and came up with this.

My HTML form with a list of all my checkboxes.

My PHP script that right now seems to do nothing.

    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","USERNAME","PASSWORD") or die("Connection error");
mysql_select_db("DATABASENAME")or die("database doesn't exist");

// sanitize user input
$cleanData = array();
foreach($_POST['cat_check'] as $_comp) {
    //$cleanData = mysql_real_escape_query($_comp);
}

// Build query
  $compStr = implode("'), ('", $cleanData);
  $sql = "SELECT anime_name WHERE $_comp='1'";
  
}
?>
My database has a layout of "Name of show, (every genere listed above)".

Thanks for any help.

Hi guys,
 I have a php file that will go to a site and scrape the data I need. However this site is setup to use pagination so when I try to scrape all the players names I have to do separate queries to search each page. Is there a way to find out by using code how many pages there are and query all the pages at same time?

I use  this code
Code: [Select]
<?php //first page

//turn error reporting on
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

//get data from this page
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTMLFile('http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/76.73.3.42:1716/top_players/?searchipp=50#search');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

// Get the total player count
$rows2 = $xpath->query('//div[@class="block774"]/div');

// Get the rows from the search list
$rows = $xpath->query('//table[@class="table_lst table_lst_spn"]/tr');


for ($i=1; $i<$rows->length-1; $i++) {
    $row = $rows->item($i);

    // Get the columns for a row
    $cols = $row->getElementsByTagName('td');

// Get the player rank (1st column)
    echo 'Rank:'.trim($cols->item(0)->textContent).PHP_EOL;

    // Get the player name (2nd column)
    echo 'Name:'.trim($cols->item(1)->textContent).PHP_EOL;

// Get the player score (3rd column, actually 4th but number 3 is hidden)
    echo 'Sco '.trim($cols->item(3)->textContent).PHP_EOL;

echo "<br />";
}
?>





<?php //secondpage

I also have to go to that website first to see how many pages there are so I can have enough queries.

I have a search set up to search a table for the text entered in a textbox, I have two columns in the table, one with the first name of people, and the second with their last names, I am wondering how I can search both, so for instance:

I type in the search field: Roger Smith

in the database it would look like:

First_name-----|-----Last_name
-------------------|-------------------
Roger------------|-------Smith

my current query is:

Code: [Select]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE fname LIKE '%$find%' OR lname LIKE '%$find%'");
But if I type both parts of the name it doesn't return anything. works fine if I just search for "Roger" OR "Smith".
