I want to remove the file extension - I have done that. I want to remove the trailing slash. - I have done that   But I cannot for the life of me get the  the regular page to display instead of the folder which show a tree of files within it.     site.com/website-tips.php

site.com/website-tips/increase speed.php   The extension drops off and the trailing slash too but when I navgate back through the vreadcrumb to website-tips (without php in html code) it gives me the folder and shows the file tree (files within website tips folder)

How would I solve this?

right now if I access the website-tips.php file, it shows the directory and its interior pages   Pls hlp out.    

when I send a post variable to another page for processing using cURL and then I echo the variable I am getting extra slashes and periods

this is where I set the fields to send.

Code: [Select]
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"name='. $name  .'&email='.  $email .'&serial='.  $serialnumber .'");
this is what happens when I echo $serial on the processing page.
Code: [Select]
\'. SLNM7IV6ZM98YJRXO8D5 .\'
it should look like
Code: [Select]
SLNM7IV6ZM98YJRXO8D5

I am trying to create a page for customers to enter their details. I am using a html form.   When the submit button is pressed the form posts the inputs to the same page, which then checks if the inputs are empty. If they are not then each post variable is allocated a session variable so this info can be accessed late on in the system.   If some of the inputs are empty then the value of the input forms become equal to the session variables that they were just allocated to so that the customer doesn’t have to retype their information.   This is where the problem occurs. When I load the page each input box has a slash inside it and when the submit button is pressed a mother slash is added.    My code is below:

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['NextPage'])){
if (!empty($_POST['CName'])){
$_SESSION["CName"] = $_POST['CName'];
if (!empty($_POST['CStreet'])){
$_SESSION["CStreet"] = $_POST['CStreet'];
if (!empty($_POST['CTown'])){
$_SESSION["CTown"] = $_POST['CTown'];
if ($_POST['Counties'] != "-"){
$_SESSION["CCounty"] = $_POST['Counties'];
if (!empty($_POST['CPostcode'])){
$_SESSION["CPostcode"] = $_POST['CPostcode'];			
if (!empty($_POST['CEmail'])){
$_SESSION["CEmail"] = $_POST['CEmail'];
if (!empty($_POST['CNumb'])){
$_SESSION["CNumb"] = $_POST['CNumb'];
$NotEmpty = true;
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Number is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Email is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Postcode is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "County is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Town is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Street is empty. </br>";
}
}else{	
$ErrorMsg = "Name is empty. </br>";
	}
}
$content = 	' <h3 id="CTitle"> Customer Details </h3>
			<p><i>'.$ErrorMsg.'</i></p>		
			<form action=" " method="POST" name="CDetails" id="CDetails">
				Name: * <input type="text" name="CName" size="30" value='.$_SESSION["CName"].'/></br>
				First line of your address: * <input type="text" name="CStreet" size="40" value='.$_SESSION["CStreet”];.’/></br>
				Town: * <input type="text" name="CTown" size="25" value='.$_SESSION["CTown"].'/></br>
				Postcode: * <input type="text" name="CPostcode" size="11" value=‘.$_SESSION["CPostcode"].'/></br>
				Email address: * <input type="text" name="CEmail" size ="35" value='.$_SESSION["CEmail”];.’/></br>
				Phone Number: * <input type="text" name="CNumb" value='.$_SESSION["CNumb"].'/></br>
				<input type="submit" name="NextPage" value="Next" id="Next”/>
			</form>
?>

So I've full text indexed the columns I want searchable:




I have some rows inserted:




Yet when I run a match() against(), I get 0 results:



If I do:
Code: [Select]
SELECT * FROM video WHERE MATCH (name) AGAINST ('test')
I get 2 results. Why does that work, yet keywords don't?

Hi, I want to create a search which uses the 'title' of my 'product' table and matches the terms the user has submitted.
At the moment, my products are displaying one by one.

For example,
I have an apple and apricot in my table.
The user searches 'a' and the search results show 'apple' but not apricot.

Here's my code:
Code: [Select]
<?php 
require_once('inc/global.inc.php');

# search.inc.php

/* 
 * This is the search content module.
 * This page is included by index.php.
 * This page expects to receive $_GET['terms'].
 */

// Redirect if this page was accessed directly:
if (!defined('BASE_URL')) {

// Need the BASE_URL, defined in the config file:
require_once ('../includes/config.inc.php');

// Redirect to the index page:
$url = BASE_URL . 'index.php?p=search';

// Pass along search terms?
if (isset($_GET['terms'])) {
$url .= '&terms=' . urlencode($_GET['terms']);
}

header ("Location: $url");
exit;

} // End of defined() IF.

// Print a caption:
echo '<h2>Search Results</h2>';

// Display the search results if the form
// has been submitted.
if (isset($_GET['terms']) && ($_GET['terms'] != 'Search...') ) {

$terms = $_GET['terms'];
$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) or die *('Error connecting to MySQL server');
// Query the database.
$query = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE title LIKE '%$terms%'";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);

// Fetch the results.
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

// Print the results:


$output[] = '<ul>';
$output[] = '<li>'.$row['title'] .': &pound;'.$row['price'].'<br /><img src="'.$row['img'].'" alt="'.$row['title'].'" /></li>';

$output[] = '</ul>';
echo join('',$output);
}

else { // Tell them to use the search form.
echo '<p class="error">Please use the search form at the top of the window to search this site.</p>';
}
?>


A friend told me I need to use a for-each loop but I can't figure it out.

Any help is appreciated,

I'm having some trouble with a GET search code; everything works until the stringresult but then it dies to Error Querying Database

$dbc = mysqli_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PW, DB_NAME) or die ("Error connecting to database.");

//Build the Query
$query = "SELECT * FROM customers" . 'WHERE customers.given_name=\'' . $usersearch . '\'';
echo $query;

//Execute the Query
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die ("Error querying database.");

//Create the Table Headings
echo '<table border="1"><tr>';

}
'</table>';

// Close the database connection
mysqli_close($dbc);

?>


<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">

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.

Hello friends,

i'm coding simple free script for articles but i need to know which url should be better

1- at this way

article_title_words (sperated by _ )

2- at this way

article-title-words (sperated by - )

3- at this way

article+title+words (sperated by + )

which is better for searching engines ?

thanks everybody

I need to do some searching through PDF or Doc files, whichever will be more efficient. All the files will be in one folder, and I've written a script that will let me search the file names just fine. Each file though, has a header, with the actual title of of the document, since sometimes the file names are abbreviated. How would I search through the document (only the header) and return the matching results? If you need a sample document, let me know.

Thanks!

I don't mean to bother you with silly questions, but I must be using the wrong search terms to find any viable answers to this.

Hypothetical situation:  I have a table [Customers] with with an auto-increment id, customer_name and email generated from a form.

Now, I decide to expand my database to include customer-address and telephone number.

I decide to create a second table named Contactinfo for this purpose (assuming this is a better database practice).

As Customerinfo is generated, I want it to POST in association with the respective customer (assuming that 'id' is the best field for association).

I need some examples and best practices to accomplish this.

Examples, links, or preferred terminology would be great so I can attack this phase.

Thanks.
