PHP - Php Script Used To Search Multiple Websites At Once.

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

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

 SELECT *  FROM `breedclads`.`activeamahorse` WHERE (`id_entered` LIKE '%green%' OR `uuid` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_coat` LIKE '%green%' OR `breedable` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_sex` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_age` LIKE '%green%' OR `date_entered` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_eyes` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_eyes_type` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_mane` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_tail` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_luster_coat` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_luster_hair` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_coat` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_hair` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_parents` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_sale_type` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_sale_price` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_location` LIKE '%green%' OR `auction_date` LIKE '%green%' OR `picture_type` LIKE '%green%' OR `picture_name` LIKE '%green%' OR `picture_size` LIKE '%green%' OR `picture_content` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_coat_type` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_coat_gloom` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_hair_gloom` LIKE '%green%' OR `ama_hr_slurl` LIKE '%green%' OR `class_link_key` LIKE '%green%')  AND  (`id_entered` LIKE '%albino%' OR `uuid` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_coat` LIKE '%albino%' OR `breedable` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_sex` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_age` LIKE '%albino%' OR `date_entered` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_eyes` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_eyes_type` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_mane` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_tail` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_luster_coat` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_luster_hair` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_coat` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_hair` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_parents` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_sale_type` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_sale_price` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_location` LIKE '%albino%' OR `auction_date` LIKE '%albino%' OR `picture_type` LIKE '%albino%' OR `picture_name` LIKE '%albino%' OR `picture_size` LIKE '%albino%' OR `picture_content` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_coat_type` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_coat_gloom` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_hair_gloom` LIKE '%albino%' OR `ama_hr_slurl` LIKE '%albino%' OR `class_link_key` LIKE '%albino%')  AND  (`id_entered` LIKE '%69%' OR `uuid` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_coat` LIKE '%69%' OR `breedable` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_sex` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_age` LIKE '%69%' OR `date_entered` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_eyes` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_eyes_type` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_mane` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_tail` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_luster_coat` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_luster_hair` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_coat` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_gleam_hair` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_parents` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_sale_type` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_sale_price` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_location` LIKE '%69%' OR `auction_date` LIKE '%69%' OR `picture_type` LIKE '%69%' OR `picture_name` LIKE '%69%' OR `picture_size` LIKE '%69%' OR `picture_content` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_coat_type` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_coat_gloom` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_hair_gloom` LIKE '%69%' OR `ama_hr_slurl` LIKE '%69%' OR `class_link_key` LIKE '%69%')

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?

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.
Code: [Select]

My PHP script that right now seems to do nothing.

Code: [Select]
<?php
//if we got something through $_POST
if (isset($_POST['cat_check'])) {
    $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.

Hey All,
 I'm trying to add multiple word search to my site and I'm getting the following error: "mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource " I know, my search is posting because I'm getting my search terms back with the "nothing found" message I have set up. Here's what I have:
Code: [Select]
  $search = $_POST["search"]; 
  $arraySearch = explode(" ", $search);
  $arrayFields = array(0 => "title", 1 => "content");
  $countSearch = count($arraySearch);
  $a = 0;
  $b = 0;
  $query = "SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE desc LIKE '$arraySearch'";
  $countFields = count($arrayFields);
  while ($a < $countFields)
  {
    while ($b < $countSearch)
    {
      $query = $query."$arrayFields[$a] LIKE '%$arraySearch[$b]%'";
      $b++;
      if ($b < $countSearch)
      {
        $query = $query." AND ";
      }
    }
    $b = 0;
    $a++;
    if ($a < $countFields)
    {
      $query = $query.") OR (";
    }
  }
  $query = $query.")";
  $query_result = mysql_query($query);

 
  if(mysql_num_rows($query_result) < 1)
   {
    echo '<p>No matches found for "'.$search.'"</p>';
  }
  else
  {
   Print "<table border cellpadding=3>";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_result))
    {
      Print "<th>Description:</th> <td>".$row['desc'].  "</td> ";
    }
 Print "</table> ";   
}

You guys are the best, thanks so much.

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?

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?

<?php

if(isset($_POST['ActivityId']))

{

require_once('database.php');

$Search=$_POST['Search'];

$query="select * from registration where Flag='A' AND Activity like '%,$Search,%'";

$result=mysqli_query($dbc,$query) or die('Not Connected');

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))

{

echo "<table border='2'><tr><td> Name--".$row['Name']."</td>

<td>Contact Number--".$row['ContactNumber']."</td>

<td>Email--".$row['Email']."</td>

<td>Address--".$row['Address']."</td></tr></table>";

}

}

elseif(isset($_POST['EventId'])){

require_once('database.php');

$Search=$_POST['Search'];

$query="select * from participation where EventId ='$Search'";

$result=mysqli_query($dbc,$query) or die('Not Connected');

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

$LoginId= $row['LoginId'];

echo $LoginId;}

$query="select * from registration where LoginId='$LoginId'";

$result=mysqli_query($dbc,$query) or die('Not Connected to Reg');

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

echo "<table border='2'><tr><td> Name--".$row['Name']."</td>

<td>Contact Number--".$row['ContactNumber']."</td>

<td>Email--".$row['Email']."</td>

<td>Address--".$row['Address']."</td></tr></table>";

}}



elseif(isset($_POST['Location']))

{

require_once('database.php');

$Search=$_POST['Search'];

$query="select * from registration where Flag='A' AND Address like '%$Search%'";

$result=mysqli_query($dbc,$query) or die('Not Connected');

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))

{

echo "<table border='2'><tr><td> Name--".$row['Name']."</td>

<td>Contact Number--".$row['ContactNumber']."</td>

<td>Email--".$row['Email']."</td>

}

}



elseif(isset($_POST['BloodGroup']))

{

require_once('database.php');

$Search=$_POST['Search'];

$query="select * from registration where Flag='A' AND BloodGroup ='$Search'";

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

//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&searchpge=2#search');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

// 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)
    echo 'Sco '.trim($cols->item(3)->textContent).PHP_EOL;
echo "<br />";
}

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

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?

I have a multiple choice search page which asks visitors to select one or more choices before rendering the search results. It only works in items 1+2 are selected, or 1+2+3, or 1+2+3+4, or 1+2+3+4, etc...

I want to make it so that any combination of choices work. Example: Items 1+6 or 2+3+5 or 1+4+6 etc...

I have four hours to fix it before my client shows up and need help BADLY.

Anyone out there who can help? Whoever can help me... you are the best and I will have a special prayer for you tonight.

Here is the coding:

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".

ugh... I'm a total PHP nub and I'm having trouble with:

Code: [Select]
$search_by = $_POST['search_by'];
$search = $_post['search'];

$dbc = mysqli_connect('xx', 'artofwarsomerset', 'xx', 'artofwarsomerset') or die ('Error connecting to MySQL server');

$query = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE '$search_by' = '$search' ";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc,$query)
  or die("Error: ".mysqli_error($dbc));

echo "<table><tr><td>Player</td><td>city</td><td>alliance</td><td>x</td><td>y</td><td>other</td><td>porters</td><td>conscripts</td><td>Spies</td><td>HBD</td><td>Minos</td><td>LBM</td><td>SSD</td><td>BD</td><td>AT</td><td>Giants</td><td>Mirrors</td><td>Fangs</td><td>ogres</td><td>banshee</td></tr>" ;

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($result)) {
echo '<tr><td> $row['player'] </td>';
echo '<td> . $row['city']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['alliance']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['x']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['y']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['other']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['porter']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['cons']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['spy']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['hbd']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['mino']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['lbm']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['ssd']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['bd']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['at']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['giant']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['fm']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['ft']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['ogre']</td>';
echo '<td> . $row['banshee']</td></tr></table>';  }

Error shows up on line 35 but I'm not sure what I've done... Also, the xx's on my dbc statement were on purpose. Current error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/content/64/4940664/html/artofwar/browse.php on line 35, I can't figure out where the hell it wants a ;...

Hello everyone,

Very new to coding - enjoying it but struggling! I think I'm trying to do something pretty common but I seem to have come up against a complete wall now and after hours/days searching the internet and reading books I'm completely stuck! I'm  trying to write some code to search a MySQL database of products, then display the results. For some search results there will be lots of products so I want to display 10 products on the first page then allow visitors to go to the next page to see another 10, and so on - a type of pagination, as they should then be able to click back to see the last page etc.
I've got to the point of being able to display the first 10 search results, but I can't figure out at all how to create some kind of page scrolling/pagination system.
Please, does anybody have any ideas??
I've attached my code, I hope this is the correct way of doing things here.
Many thanks for your time!

The PHP search code...
Code: [Select]

<?php
//opens connection to mysql server
$dbc = mysql_connect('localhost');
if (!$dbc) {
die('Not connected :' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Connected to mysql database<br />";
//select database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db("NAME_OF_DATABASE", $dbc);
if (!$db_selected)
{
die ("Cannot connect :" . mysql_error());
}
echo "Connected to database<br /><hr />";
echo "Here are your results";

$term = $_POST['term'];
$category = $_POST['category'];
$brand = $_POST['brand_name'];
 
  
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products where product_name like '%$term%' AND category_name like '%$category%' AND brand_name like '%$brand%' LIMIT 0, 10");
 
{ 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<table border='1' width='100%'> ";
echo "<tr>"; 
echo "<td style='vertical-align:top' width='25%'>" . '<img src="', $row['image_url'], '" alt="', $row['product_name'], '"  width="100" height="100" />' . "</td>";
echo "<td style='vertical-align:top' width='50%'>" . $row['product_name'];
echo "<br />";
echo  "<span style='font-size: 10px'>" . $row['description'] . "</span>" . "</td>";
