PHP - Searching Function - How To Display The Selected Result On Its Own From The Returned List?

Hello all,

I'm writing a page with a simple database with a table called recipes in it with a series of recipes (go figure). I want to display a list of the recipe titles in ascending alphabetical order with each title linked to another page that displays all of the information about the recipe. I can't seem to get anything to display though (not even the titles) but I'm not getting any errors returned either. It seems as if there is nothing in the table to display (even though there are 40 records there). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code I have so far:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = '*****';
$dbpass = '*****';
$dbname = '*******';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to database');
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die('Error selecting the database');

// select data from db to use
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM recipes ORDER BY title ASC LIMIT 0,50") or die('mysql_error()'.'Error: ' .mysql_errno() );
//display the data
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result));
{
echo"<b><center>Healthy Lifestyle Gourmet Recipes</center></b><br /><br />";
echo "<span class=\"recipelink\"><a href=\"reciperesults.php?id=".$row['id']."\" target=\"_blank\">".$row['title']."</a></span><br/>\n";
}

mysql_close();
?>

I starred out the connection variables but, they are all correct in my code (I'm not getting the "or die" errors)

Hello, I am quite new in PHP.

I am doing a page with list of events (seminars).
The events are saved in a XML file in chronological order and their each event has its date in d-m-Y format and time in h:m format.
What I need to do is find the next event (with respect to the actual date and time).
I can do it using a loop (foreach) and stringtotime() and comparing obtained values. However, this seems to be quite a clumsy way.
Is there any better way to do it? Maybe there is a function, package or some extension, which I don't know... 

I tried xpath, however it does not know how to compare the dates (I use xml 1.0).

Thank you very much. 

        
$save_planet3 = "SELECT saver_id FROM save_planet WHERE saver_id = '".($_SESSION['user_id'])."' 
 AND map = 1 ORDER BY time_saved DESC";
 $save_planet2 = mysql_query($save_planet3) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($save_planet2)) { 

  $saver_id = $list['saver_id']; 

When I echo $saver_id im getting a list of numbers

3112   3112   3112   3112   
im trying to do a check if $planet_id is equal to any of these numbers

So i figure the only way to do this is to put these numbers in a array with keys first. So I tried to explode it but it doesnt give each one a differant key I noticed.

 $check = explode(",", $saver_id);
print_r($check); 

Array ( [0] => 3112 )
Array ( [0] => 3112 )
Array ( [0] => 3112 )
Array ( [0] => 3112 )


Once i get this in a workable array i should beable to do this right

 

foreach($array as $key => $value) { 

if ($planet_id == $value) { 

//something happends

Hello there,

I am pretty new to php and I was wondering if anyone can give me some input. Basically I am creating a search engine where I can search for words in certain files. I am trying to search using two or more words for instance a file may have the sentence 'the cat ran across the road', and another file has 'the road is long'. I would like to search 'cat road', and have these two files show up with each word highlighted. At the moment 'cat road' is being searched as just one string.

I have exploded the keyword, and i have broken the array into separate words but for some reason it is still not searching. Again I would appreciate any feedback.

Just to show you a bit of my code to explain:


if(!empty($_GET['keyword']))
   
{      
   $user_input = trim($_GET['keyword']);
   $user_input = preg_replace("/ {2,}/", " ",$user_input); 
        $keyword = explode(" ", $user_input);
       for($i=0;$i<count($keyword);$i++)
       {
      echo("$keyword[$i]\n");
       } 
      $keyword = $_GET['keyword'];
      
}

Thanks for your time,

I have a search page and everything works fine but I would like to add the latest 10 rows to the page so there is something to look at or click on before the user searches.

The page is at: www.giantstridedives.com/locations. You can see that it's pretty boring. Hit submit and you'll see the entries so far (only 3 right now). I'd like to have the latest 10 display there by default but then when a user searches they are replaced by the search results. Make sense?

Here's the code I'm using for the search:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

require_once('dbconnection.php'); 
mysqli_select_db($conn, $dbname); 
$searchterm = $_POST['search']; 
$searchterm = strip_tags($searchterm);
$searchterm = trim ($searchterm);
$q ="SELECT * FROM locations WHERE loc_name LIKE '%" . $searchterm . "%' AND loc_approved != '0'"; 
$r = mysqli_query($conn, $q) or die(mysql_error($q)); 
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r); 
$rowcount = mysqli_num_rows($r);
}
?>

<h1>Search for Scuba Dive Locations</h1>
<form id="searchform" name="searchform" method="post" action="index.php"> 
    <input type="text" name="search" id="search_bar" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>
<span style="color: #333;">Search for the name of the location, ie: Devils Den or USS Oriskany.</span><br />   


<?php 
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

if ($rowcount == 0)  
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query: <strong>$searchterm</strong>";
}
else { //this tells the table below to display since $totalRows_Products_res is not 0
?>
<table style="font-size: 14px;" border="0" width="650">
 <tr>
  <td colspan="6"><p>You searched for <strong><?php echo $searchterm; ?></strong>. Results are displayed below.</p></td>
 </tr>
<tr>
  <td><strong>Location Name</strong></td>
  <td><strong>City</strong></td>
  <td><strong>State</strong></td>
  <td><strong>Depth (ft)</strong></td>
  <td><strong>Fees</strong></td>
  <td><strong>Gear Rentals</strong></td>
  <td><strong>Map</strong></td>
 </tr>
 <?php do { ?>
  <tr>
   <td><a href="loc_details.php?loc_id=<?php echo $row ['loc_id']; ?>">
<?php echo $row ['loc_name']; ?> </a></td>
<td><?php echo $row ['loc_city']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row ['loc_state']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row ['loc_depth']; ?></td>
<td>$<?php echo $row ['loc_fee']; ?></td>
<td><?php if($row['loc_gear'] == 1) {
echo 'Yes';
} else { echo 'No'; } ?></td>
<td><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=<?php echo $row ['loc_lat'];?>,<?php echo $row ['loc_lon'];?>" target="_blank">View Map</a></td>
   </tr>
  <?php } while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r)); ?>
</table>
<?php 
mysqli_free_result($r); 
} // this closes out results else
}
?>

I figure I can use the below query to get the results.
Code: [Select]
select * from table WHERE id >  ((SELECT MAX(id) from table) - 10);I'm just not sure how I can display them by default and then have them be replaced by the search results.  Anyone have any ideas for me? As always I appreciate the help as I continue to learn this beast.

Hi all.   how can i make the values show like a list. I tried html line break "<br>" and php \n but all to no avail.

so here it goes,
i have an ajax dropdown box...i need to get the value that is selected by the user when it is clicked and then pass this value to a new pop window by appending to its url....any suggestions?

I'm pulling data from an xml file and I'm getting a lot of duplicates. How can I remove the duplicates from the query?

Code: [Select]
foreach($xml->category->subcategory as $category){
echo $category[id];
}//end foreach

I have a form that contains 3 text fields and 7 populated lists (that are dependent on the choice of the previous lists).  When I post the information to MySQL and to my processing page, it posts the table "ids" instead of the selected option. 

Here's the php code for the form:

  <table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">

How do I get the processing page to echo the selected option instead of the id?

Hi everyone, I am having trouble passing/displaying the values inside of a selected list.
I created a add/remove list using Jquery and I tried to display the values passed using foreach and for loops but it is still not working. The values I am trying to get are $existing_mID[$j], which is inside of the option value attribute.

Please kindly let me know what should I do in order to get the values and I really appreciate your help.

<?php
$selected = $_POST['selectto'];
if(isset($selected))
{
    echo "something in selected<br />";
    for ($i=0;$i<count($selected);$i++)
    echo "selected #1 : $selected[$i]";
    foreach ($selected as $item)
    echo "selected: item: $item";
}
?>

This is the form

Hey Everyone...

First off, I am only a young web developer and i'm working on a school project and am making a text-based game online...

Now what i'm having trouble with...

I want a drop-down list that has a list of characters classes
Clubber
Mixer
Sauceror
Tamer

And I want whatever is selected to be placed into the database along with the username/password (THIS ALL WORKS FINE JUST NOT THE DROP DOWN LIST)

All help appreciated

Yesterday, I created a topic about how I could update records and I managed to achieve that successfully.

Now I have another dilemma.

When I have a specific record I want to update, I want to change a category ID of an product (e.g. change it from 1 to 2) but how do I go about doing this?

Here is my code thus far:

Code: [Select]
<?php

require_once ('./includes/config.inc.php');

require_once (MYSQL);

$id=$_GET['prodID'];

$results = mysqli_query($dbc, "SELECT * FROM product WHERE prodID=".$_GET['prodID']."");
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results);

?>
<form action="" method='POST'>
Product ID: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['prodID'];?>" name="prodID" /> <br />
Product: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['product'] ;?>" name="product" /> <br />
Product Description: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['prod_descr'] ;?>" name="prod_descr" /> <br />
Category:
<select name="category">
<option value="<?php echo $row['catID'];?>"></option>
</select>
Price: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['price'] ;?>" name="price" /> <br />
In Stock: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['stock'] ;?>" name="stock" /> <br />
<br /><input type="submit" value="save" name="save">
</form>

<?php

if(isset($_POST['save']))
 {
    $id = $_POST['prodID'];
    $product = $_POST['product'];
$descr = $_POST['prod_descr'];
$price = $_POST['price'];
$stock = $_POST['stock'];

// Update data
    $update = mysqli_query($dbc, "UPDATE product SET product='$product', prod_descr='$descr', price='$price', stock='$stock' WHERE prodID=".$_GET['prodID']."");
header( 'Location: update_save.php' ) ;
}
?>
