PHP :: Display Search Results In Pages

Display Results From A Database On Multiple Pages
I am new to PHP and Mysql but am really determined to learn these techniques. I have some script that reads and displays results from the databse onto a page. However, I really wish to limit the number of results that are displayed to 10 per page and then have the next/privious links under the results. With these results, the results under the email field should be hyperlinked so that the person viewing the results should double click on the email link and send the person an email. How can i do that? I have to learn this technique.

The code is:-

Displaying Search Results In Pages
I am implementing search functionality in a website. ( internal search).
In that I am taking a keyword as input and searching all the pages and storing
results in an array. I want to display 10 results per page. I wrote below logic for that. Code:

Display Results From Text File In Multiple Pages
i use a string, eg "&&&" to mark pages in a text file. i use $count to count the above string. how can i display the contents of this file in multiple pages (by identifying the above string or any other method)?

Highlight Search Terms In Results Pages
I am trying to find a script or code that will highlight search terms output from my MySql db. I have posted a portion of my pagination page below. The pagination script provides ten records at a time.

For example, I need code, a script, or a funtion to grab the search term coming from the user and generate highlighted keywords when the keywords are entered by the user in the html forms search box.

In the code below, I have inserted sample code so you can see how the display appears. In actual practice, the $Source, $Topic, $Subtopic, and $References values come from the while(list($Source, $Topic,$Subtopic,$References)= mysql_fetch_row($result2)) { code line. Code:

Search & Display PEAR DB Results
I'm only a novice in PHP & PEAR DB, and currently stuck in an attempt to create a "search & display query PEAR DB results" page. Here's my pseudocode:

1) Display page with a searchbox and a search button.

2) Upon hitting the search button, run sql query ... Select all fields from TableA and selected fields from TableB where field1 like "searchbox" order by field1

3) If searchbox is blank
-> prompt user to enter search value
Elseif search result NOT found
-> alert user >> Record NOT found
Else
-> display results in a table (with alternating colours for each row)

4) Able to paginate the results in something like display 10, 20, 30, etc records on the same page .... the amount of records to be displayed can be manually selected by the user (via a dropdown box) ... with Previous Page, Next Page links as well.

>> How would I do that entirely in code from scratch? I've found other tutorials on doing it but it is tailored for MySQL ... but I'm using PEAR DB... the syntax is different.

>> Since I am querying two tables based on the same search value, how am i able to concatenate both the tables search results and display it inline in the display results page?

Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
For example, when I do a database search for a term I get 2 results but the $num_rows says there are 3 results.

I suspect it's because there are similar keywords within different search fields of the SQL statement. But I am stumped as to how I can change this. Any Suggestions? the code:

Search Brings Back Different Results Or Sometimes No Results
The problem Iv got is that when searching the site - it brings back different results or sometimes no results. For example: "i026", "i 026" and "026" do not bring back results for "I-026" which is the correct model number. Any ideas on how to make it search more variations or of a "Did you mean... I-026" script?

Highlighting Of A Search Term In Search Results
I am writing this simple MySQL and PHP search and what I want to do is to highlight the search term in the results when they are displayed on the screen. I am able to get it to work. but the seach term will only be highlighted(Make it Bold) only if it matches exactly to what was typed in the search box.

Is there a way where the search term doesn't have to exactly match in order for it to be highlighted? Below is the code where I change the the search term into bold to be displayed on the screen.

<?php
$result_manufact = str_replace($splitstr, "<span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">$splitstr</span>", $manufact);
?>

How To Display The Record Into Pages?
I'm having (for eg., 22 records) in my MySQL table. I want to display these 22 records into pages, each page contains 5 records. so 5 pages with each 5 records and the last page contains only 2 records, and Previous and Next links in each page.

I've used LIMIT in select statement. But i dont know how to use this exactly.

Using PHP & MySQL To Display Web Pages
I am a real novice to php and MySQL, with about a week's worth of
reading and self tutoring. I have an urgent need to publish a
database of information and need some guidance on how to do this.

This question might be more suited to a MySQL newsgroup, but since php
and MySQL seem to have become almost married to one another, and since
getting the data out and displaying it is where my problem seems to
lie, I thought I would start with this php group.

The problem is I can not figure out how to put information into a
MySQL database and get it out and correctly dislay it for the web.
More correctly I have two types of data I need to get in and out.

1. I have some web page content, not inlcuding borders, that is in
html format. So I have tried saving the html code, which looks
exactly like the code when you "view source" on a web page, into MySQL
and getting it out. I can get it out, but I have not figured out how
to make it act like html, i.e. to be interpreted by the browsers.
Instead it comes out looking exactly like html code. It is not being
interperted by the browser.

2. I would prefe instead of typing in html code for the content of a
page to type in instead the text, tables, lists, etc. Here is where
my problem lies, how do I input to MySQL relatively simple web pages
that may have a table, a list, some links, a picture?

3. How do I call up and use the data from MySQL an dget this to
display for the web?

By the way, I have been learning css, so I would like to use this if
possible. If not, i.e. if the formating mechanism for getting content
into a database precludes having it formattted by css on the
publication sie, then that is ok. I can live with that.

Splitting Select Results Into Pages In PHP
I'm new to PHP and Mysql, so I was hoping someone more experienced could help me with this one.

I've gone through most of Kevin Yanks excellent tutorial on Databases, but I haven't found an answer to my question.

I'd like to split the text results of a select command into a number of pages. I'd like to display 10 jokes on one page, and then ten jokes on the next and so on.

Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I've been searching the web for most of the morning, but haven't really found the answer I needed and I was hoping somebody could give me a hand.

Displaying Results On Multiple Pages
I have a search query via PHP and MySQL that has list of results, but I only want to show 10 or 15 on a page. Much like Yahoo! or even here on the Devshed forums. I have been working on a system that cycles through all the results with a while loop and a counter. It only displays results >= 11 or <=20 as an example. I am passing that data (the results start point through the url) I am just worried that if the results are in the thousands this system would get very slow.Is there an easier/better way that I am not seeing?

Search Pages
I am making an application that lets you upload pics to a server and also adds the directory to a DB. Now I just need to display the pics and I want to do it a page a picture. Kinda like a search page. AV or Google style. But instead of a link its a pic and then you can choose to go to the next one by clicking on a link. But the whole time it's one dynamic page pulling info off of a mySQL database.

Retrieve And Display 3rd Party Pages
I'm wondering if you can show me an example php page that allows me to
retrieve and display 3rd party pages. I.e.,

when my php script is called as http://site/path/getit.php?file_key
it can retrieve from http://3rd.party/path2/name-with-file_key.htm
and display the result back to the browser.

I don't know php, and start to learning it. So I hope you can give me a full
php page, not a segment. I don't think it'd be too long though. Luckily, I'm
a programmer, so you don't need to comment it much, unless it is too
convoluted.

Further, if you can throw in handling of gzipped files, that'd be super.

If you have Firefox,

How To Display Data From Database In Different Web Pages?
When we get data from database by use mssql_query(),suppose the data is very large ,it has many rows, and we want display the data in different web pages like many search engines do, my question is how to do that using the same result without call mssql_query() again?

Display Number Of Records Into Pages
we are using oracle database, Oracle Select statement is not supporting the LIMIT , Is there any other way to display records into pages.

Background Colors On Display Pages
Is it possible to display table data using a while loop, yet have each output row with a certain bg color depending on a value within that row. For instance, if I'm dislaying the incomes of various businesses, I want to show the business with a positive income with a green background, and the business with a negative income with a red background. Is this possible?

Show Mysql Query Results On Pages
Does anyone have a script that will show mysql query results as paged results? This is what I have at the moment and it does not pass the results to the second page. Code:

Display Results
I have created a form where the number of rows are displayed based on a value from a select box. Everything works excellent this far. however I need to take it to the next step where I display the information back into the form based on values in a mysql table. Code:

Splitting A Search Into Pages
After trial, error, 2 days reading about PHP and some fine Single Malt,
have finally created a search from a database with multiple criteria as
below.

NOTE comments on tidying the code up are welcomed.

BUT.... if I want to split the search into groups of 10 and then (like
Google) prompt for page 2 of 10, 3 of 10 etc.

Anyone know of any tutorials on this?

<?php
$result = @mysql_query ("SELECT name, townname, town, townid, photo
FROM site01_towns, site01_details WHERE townname='$townsearch' AND
town=townid AND code='sleep'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$photoname = $row['photo'];

PHP Pages And Search Engines
I am in development of my site and alot of the site has php3 pages. What i need to know is, does search engines index PHP3 pages?

Categorical Results Display
I want to take these results and display them by category. I.e. each of these results would fall into different categories like "insurance", they are maked in the database simply with a "Y" for each category that they would appear in. I could make a page like this for each of the 20 categories, but I am sure there is a better way.
<?
if(!IsSet($start))
$start = 0;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT site_name, site_address, site_image, publish FROM sites WHERE publish = 'Y' ORDER BY site_name ASC LIMIT $start,144") or die(mysql_error());
?>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" align="center">
<tr>
<?
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
echo '<td width="25%" align="center" valign="top"><a href= "',$row->site_address,'" target="_blank"><img src="samples/',$row->site_image,'"width="100" height="75" border="0"></a><br><a href= "',$row->site_address,'" target="_blank">',$row->site_name,'</a></td>'
if(++$i % 4 == 0)
echo '</tr><tr>'
}
?>
</table>

How Do I Display The Results Of A Test?
i just started learning php and have a quick question. this is my code:

$a=4;
$a==7;

what i want to know is how to display the results (either true or false). i tried print($a); but it only outputs the original variable value (in this case 4).

Display Results Vertically
I am creating a catalogue-like application and I want to display the items vertically instead of horizontally. Being somewhat new to PHP, the only thing I can think of are seperate queries for each field. Is there an easier way? Here's an example of how I want it to look.

Category 1
field1: result
field2: result
field3: result

Category 2
field4: result
field5: result

and so on and so forth....

Display The Number Of Results
How can I set the classical search engine message? Found ### results. How can I count the returned results and display them in the results page? so now has the Found 5 results or any number that the result contains.

Display Results According To Distance
I have a php/mysql driven website. On my search bar I have the option of searching by zip code. I have the function to find the radius of the surrounding zip codes. But I want to display the result along with my information from the other table.

An example would be:

I want to search for ads around my zip code for a range of 20 miles. The class I have will find all the zips and get their distances plus will sort them by closest to farthest. My problem is I want to display the records according to the distance provided. I heard of doing a sort with php but I am not sure which route to go.

I hope someone has found out how to do it, because this is the only thing left to do in order to launch the site.

PHP Generated Pages & Search Engines
I'm trying to get a basic idea of how well PHP generated pages can be spidered by search engines? I'm working for a company that keeps two versions of it's site at the moment. One copy run off of a database using CGI, and one copy entirely in HTML so search engines will find them. I've told them that this is just a bad idea, and far too time consuming. I'm under the impression that PHP pages can be found by search engines, am I wrong? I'm going to be running almost their entire database of products off of one file, will the search engines be able to find these if there aren't direct links to them?

Any other suggestions as to how to keep their positions in the search engines (very good right now) would be appreciated as well.

Dynamic Pages Vs Search Engines
I have a how-to-do-it manual like site,
related to fishing. I want to add a new
interactive question/comment feature to each
instructional page on the site.

I want (registered) users to be able to add
comments at the bottom of each page, similar
to the way the php, mysql, apache manuals work.

PUNCHLINE_A:
I don't want to revert to a system of dynamic links
that look like "pagePainter.php?page_id=123"

I did that for a while. But every time I edited
the site (reloaded the database) all the page_ids
changed, and then voila I had stale links spattered
all over my Google search results--because the
same page now had a slightly different page_id.

To avoid that I could associate each page with
a unique lookup string that is its server-side file path:

pagePainter.php?page_key=/pages/manual/chapter1/engine_repair/carburetors

Then the keys wouldn't change everytime I added a few new pages
to the system, and reloaded the database. Then my Google search
links would remain constant.

PUNCHLINE_B:
Will the search engines spider and index links that look like that?
Or will I have to make a system that spits out the entire page as static
html, each time a registered user adds a new page question or comment?

Or should I put the comments box in an iframe, which is also a spidering
can of worms?

Dynamic Pages With Search Engines
We know search engines cannot index many database-driven pages basically any page with a '?' or '&' in the URL, and i want to ask if is there en way to transform that simbols in / for example.

Want PHP Code To Search All The Pages In A Website
i just want to know some code that would retrieve all the pages fron a given website with... that when i give a wesite to code it fetches all the pages in that and make a list for all with address.

How Do I Display Radio Button Results?
I have a form which uses several radio buttons to enter data. It works fine
as far as entering goes, but I can't figure out how to display which button
is checked when I view the record. I could do a if-then routine but it
seems like there should be an easier way.

Display Query Results In A Table
$sql = "SELECT name FROM employee_tb;
$result_query = @mysql_query ($sql);// run the query
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_query,MYSQL_NUM)){
$name = $row[0];}
// assuming i have 8 results

how can i display the results from this query in a table with 3 rows each column?

3 Comlumn Display Results With Pagination
I have the following code that works perfectly. I would like to add an easy pagination feature that limits the number of items, counts the number of records and makes links and pages for the next page. Code:

Display Number Of DB Results Beside A Link?
For an example, if you look at www.menupages.ie they give you a preview of how many results are found for each link.

ie:

Ballsbridge Restaurants (52)
Blackrock Restaurants (17)
Clondalkin Restaurants (18)
Clontarf Restaurants (17)

How is this achieved. I take it that it must be a select count on the DB for each row but that seems pointless, is there an easy way to achieve this?

Display Results Of Survey In A Table.
Is it possible to have them fill in a survey with about 10 form fields, then display
the results of everyone's survey in a table that can be sorted by different criteria
so new users to the site can instantly see which one of our services is better for them.

Display Only Mysql_num_rows Results #-# (or Similar)
I have this mysql database. It works great, the stuff outputs how I want. But I'm making a news website and I need to change the articles each month.

I'm putting all the articles into one database, then into each page as tables (ie: news, opinion, sports, etc.), then the articles each have their own row. On the homepage here it outputs all 5 articles from the news table, but I only want it to output result numbers (blah) through (whatever). Code:

Display Results From Multiple Tables
I have two tables, one table (article_cat) has four fields ("id", "title", "feature1", and "feature2") and the other table has six fields (articles) has ("id", "cat_id", "title", "content", "feature1", and "feature2").

I am looking to display the "title" from the "article_cat" table that has "feature1" with a value of 1. And I want to display beneath that all the "title" results from the "articles" table where "feature1" has a value of 1. I have tried this a thousand ways with no luck. Code:

Is This Possible With Search Results
Is it possible that when someone does a search on your database, that the results are downloaded as a text file?

Is Anyone Else Able To See My Search Results?
Here is the thing. When you go to this page:

http://www.accumulist.com/index.php...llFields%5D=api

I've put in some HR tags in the HTML to separate the 3 different
queries. After those 3 queries you'll see results at the bottom. For
me, those results look like this:

api (4), darren (1), xml (12), battlepanda (1), war+on+drugs (6),
stupid (1), moron (1), nightmare (1), hell (1), mijkuynbvfsds (1),
police (1), Pitchfork+Media (1),

There are two problems here. Do you get this when you go to this page?
I'm concerned that I'm only getting back the things that I have
personally searched for, and not the things that others have searched
for. Let me know, please, if this works for you.

The goal of this script is to be able to say to the person who is
searching "People who searched for this item, also searched for these
other things."

It is suppose to be a little like on Amazon.com, where when you buy one
thing, it says "Customers who bought this item also bought these other
items:".

I'm sorry I didn't give the table structures earlier. The visitor id of
searchHistory is the id of visitors. machineId is a unique value
generated and set by a cookie.

#
# Table structure for table `searchHistory`
#

CREATE TABLE `searchHistory` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`query` text NOT NULL,
`visitorId` int(11) NOT NULL default Ɔ',
`domain` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=88 ;

#
# Table structure for table `visitors`
#

CREATE TABLE `visitors` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`date` int(11) NOT NULL default Ɔ',
`ipAddress` varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
`hostname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`machineId` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`referrals` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=8236 ;

Search Results
whenever i do a $result-$row query and try to list the results with a while statement, it always cuts off the first result. how do i fix this?

Database Driven Pages On Search Engines
I know this has been discussed at length in these forums from the searches that I've done, but I have a new question of sorts. Basically, I found several solutions to the problem of using PHP/MySQL database driven pages and getting them listed on search engines. One method that I've chosen entails listing the variables in between backslashes after the name of the document, like this http://www.something.com/index.php/test/1234

After a few problems, I've been able to get all of the pages in the first group (I just added the 2nd and 3rd group today) to list perfectly on Google. I'm psyched about this working on my entire database of 10,000+ products, but I'm worried that I may be overlooking something.

If possible, please check out that link and if anyone knows of any shortcomings or pitfalls with using this method, please let me know. Thanks a ton.

Distribute Search Result In Pages - Pagination
How can I distribute a search result in different
pages? For example I have 10 search results (searching
for database) and I would like to get 7 results per
page. So there will be 2 pages, first 7 results in
first page and rest 3 results in second pages. I am
just simply querying from the database.

What will be the best and easy sollution?

Crawling Google Search Result Pages
I want to make a crawler in php that will crawl google search results for given keywords. Procedure will be something like this:

1. There will be a list of thousands keywords in file with csv or other format.

2. Crawler will crawl google.co.in for each keywords in the file.

3. Top 10 results title, description and the url will be collected and stored in MySQL database.

4. Now crawler will crawl for next keyword after some delay and loop will go on unless reach to daily limit of keywords to crawl. Then next day it will start again.

I need some suggestion on:

1. How to crawl pages without using any addons.
(Because I am going to run this from an free server not my machine so I will only have php, mysql and general features. )

2. What kind of parsing I should use to extract title, description and urls from HTML code.

3. What should be the delay and daily crawl limit. ( I don't want to get banned by google for automatic query. )

Limiting Results, And Display Page Numbers
How do I make it so only 50 items display per page. And if there's more than 50, it displays a link "page 2", "page 3" and so on? I know how to limit results with MySQL but how do I generate pages for the next 50 within the PHP code?

Select And Display Multiple Queries / Results
Howdy all, i've been looking through various sites / tutorials and through this php book I have here to try figure out whats causing this problem but haven't had any luck yet.

The problem is that its displaying the Designation as the link url instead of the jcode. Hope i explained this well. Above this bit of code has calls the individual Catagorys, if theres data in that catagory it will display it with whats below. PHP Code:

Display Search Results In Pages

im doing a query on a table that searches articles from the database, and i was wondering how i could display the results as groups of ten, so the next ten search matches are displayed when the user presses a page number.
