Database Search -text Database...
Can anybody tell me how to search a flat file database delimited by |. I have exploded the data and managed to get it into a table but want to restrict the final table contents by a search.

The table code at the moment is below - I'd be using a htm file to submit the data. and hopefully be able to search by partial searches eg big would return big and bigfoot. Code:

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:

Exporting Search Results To A CSV File
I am about to start programming up a database, where the client requies the data exported to a CSV file for use in mail merge documents etc.

What I would like to know is, if they run a query on the database, and only export five of the 10 fields in the table to the list, how would I go about reatining the field names on the first line of the CSV file?

Text File Download On .php Page
I have created a website in which I want to put a link to download a text
file. When I used simple:

<a href="Dir/File.txt">Download file</a>

I had such problem that instead of dowloading the file contents was
displayed in browser. In some book on PHP5 I found a "solution": create a...

SELECT Statement Results Into Text File
I am trying to create a text file based off the results of a query statement from a database. See code below:

$itemq = "SELECT sdlitm, sddsc1, sduorg, sdlnid, sduncs FROM F4211 WHERE sddoco = $ordernum AND sddcto LIKE '$ordertype' ORDER BY sdlnid";
$result3 = odbc_exec($connect, $itemq);
while (odbc_fetch_row($result3)){
$partnum = odbc_result($result3, 1);
$desc1 = odbc_result($result3, 2);
$qty = odbc_result($result3, 3)/100;
$position = odbc_result($result3, 4);
$uncs = odbc_result($result3, 5);
$extcost = $uncs*$qty;
$total = ($total + ($uncs * $qty));
$filename = "$reportnumber.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, "Activity Number: $reportnumber
");
fwrite($fp, "Warranty Type: $reason
");
fwrite($fp, "Customer Name: $custname
");
fwrite($fp, "$qty $partnum $desc1
");
fclose($fp);

Everything works fine until I get to the line:

fwrite($fp, "$qty $partnum $desc1
");

This line should actually print multiple lines into the text file as these are the line items from an order. There could be anywhere from 1 to 20 lines written to the text file. As it stands, the only line items written to the text file are those of the last line found on the order. The entrie script dealing with the text file are still within the confines of the while statement curly braces. How do I write these lines out in the text file??

Search A Text File
I have a text file that each line is an array, I think. I looks like this

name | id | # | # | # | total
name | id | # | # | # | total

and so on...

I would like to seach the file by "id" and only display the line with the particular "id".
I also think that the bit size of each line will change from line to line, so I don't think that I can put in a static number to search to the end of. I thought about using fseek(), is that the best way to go.

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)?

Search And Replace In Text File
I have a text file with 30 or so lines. Each line has this format:

I want to search in the file for "sometext" and replace "somevalue" with a particular string.

Search For A Specific Word Inside A Text File?
Basically what i'm trying to do is when a user inputs login/password information at a login page, I want PHP to search inside verify.txt and if it finds the login/password combination then allows the user to proceed. Is this possible? And if so, which functions would I use to get the job done?

Also, how can I save the login name so that it can be passed to/included in a url?

Full Text File Search With Indexing Service On Windows
Here's a short tutorial on how to the OLE-DB extension to access
Windows Indexing Service. Impress your office-mates with a powerful
full-text search feature on your intranet. It's easier than you think.

First, download and install the extension
(http://sourceforge.net/project/show...kage_id=198554).
Simply unzip the file and copy the correct version of php_oledb.dll
into the PHP extensions folder. Then add the line
extension=php_oledb.dll in php.ini and restart your web server.

Now, if Indexing Service isn't running on your computer, turn it on. Go
to Control Panel Administrative Tools Services and configure
Indexing Service to start automatically. You can also ask the little
dog in the search window to do it for you if you're using Windows XP.
You will need to wait a while for Windows to build the initial index.
It could take a couple hours.

Once the extension is installed and the index is ready, you can start
coding. To connect to Indexing Service, you use the oledb_open
function:

$link = oledb_open("Provider=MSIDXS");

You then call oledb_query with a SQL statement. Let us start with
something simple: We'll look for all files on the computer containing
the word "love": .....

Database Row To Text File
I need to get the contents of a MySQL database field into a text file, and write the file to the server. I can not seem to get any filesystem functions to work, because it tells me I do not have permission to do anything. I am on virtual hosting, so it seems easier for me to try to FTP files to my own server.

Perhaps you guys can give me some pointers, this is kind of the idea I am running on:

Text File Instead Of Database?
Does anyone know a script that I can use to manage members of my website (preferably with a control panel-type interface) but without using a database? I read on hotscripts.com of one that uses text files instead, but the link says that the site is no longer offering that file.

If someone could help me it would be great, as I know nothing about scripting. By control panel, I mean a page that I can go to on my site (not open to the public) that I can use to Admin the users. I would like it to go something like this: (this is what was offered at hotscripts.com)

New Members Username:
New Members Password:
New Members Name:
New Members E-Mail Address:

And optionally (I don't really need it, but if its possible, hey why not) a place for me to put in an admin username and pass to get into the page mentioned above. I would also like to be able to implement this script on my main page (see here for what I mean.

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?

Load Into Database From The Text File
i'm having difficulties here to load a text file to my database... let's say if i've a table named "train_info", and the field for that particular table is user-id, training_hours, training_date. let's say i've a text file that looks like this :

"
123434 12 2002-08-03
545322 10 2002-08-03
533434 12 2002-08-03
654333 12 2002-08-03
535434 12 2002-08-03
"

Is it possible for me to read such text file to be inserted into my "train_info" table?

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, "$splitstr", $manufact);
?>

Uploading Info From A Text File Into A MySQL Database
what would the PHP and SQL code be to say basically: make a new row and put this in the field, what comes after each comma goes in a new field, and each new line should be a new row.

I have a huge text file that i don't have a way to upload directly into a MySQL database because my webhost isn't allowing it for some reason.

Delete Entire Line In Text File If Anything In The Line Matches Search String
how would I code a php script that would open a text file, look for a string i specified, and if it finds that string, it will delete the entire line in the text file that contained that text. I'm new to php, so sorry if this is really obvious..

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?

Links From Search Results
Hi i was wondering if anybody could tell me how to make url links to an item in my site from a list of search results. Here is a piece of my code:

<?php
$Name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["query2"];
$Eventtype = $HTTP_POST_VARS["query2"];
$EventStart = $HTTP_POST_VARS["query2"];
$EventEnd = $HTTP_POST_VARS["query2"];
$VenueName = $HTTP_POST_VARS["query2"];
if($Name or $Eventtype or $EventStart or $EventEnd or $VenueName)
{

$conn=@mysql_connect("mysql", "u0rr")
or die("Sorry can't connect to database");

$rs = @mysql_select_db("u0rr", $conn)
or die("Sorry can't connect to database");

$sql="select * from event left join venue on
(event.VenueID = venue.VenueID)
where (Name like '%$Name%'
or VenueName like '%$VenueName%')
AND Eventtype = 'Comedy' ";
$result=mysql_query($sql,$conn);

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
echo(""." Event Name: "."".$row["Name"]." ");
echo(""." Event Type: "."".$row["Eventtype"]." ");
echo(""." Venue Name: "."".$row["VenueName"]." ");
echo(""." Event Start: "."".$row["EventStart"]." ");
echo(""." Event End: "."".$row["EventEnd"]." ");
echo(""." Availability: "."".$row["Availability"]." ");
echo(""." Description: "."".$row["Description"]." <hr>");
}
}
?>
For example if i enter an event type as 'comedy', a list of search results will come up from the form input displaying comedy events. Now from these results i would like to be able to click on Venue Name and this would link to that page in another part of my site.

I hope this explanation is o.k, if not post a thread & i'll try and explain a bit better. Thanks for any help

How Do I Underline My Search Results?
This is a PHP/MySQL question.

I have a search engine that finds matches of a word in artist names, and their album titles. How do I underline the word that is matched when I display the results? I've seen this on Yahoo! and was wondering how to do it.

Multiple Search Results
I have a php script which searches a mysql database and returns and lists the results 25 records per page. I am using the offset to do this. It works well. But I am outputing the search results 1 record per line, 25 records per page, with links to the previous and next pages, etc.

What I really want is to list the results in a 5 X 5 table. ie the first 5 records on table row 1, the next 5 on table row 2, etc.

Obviously for the last page there may not be 25 records, but anything from 1 to 25.

How can I automatically output html to produce the table and populate each cell with a record from the search result?

Links From Search Results
i was wondering if anybody can tell me how to make a url link to another part of my site from a completed search result. here is a section of my code i would like to link from.

echo(""." Name: "."".$row["Name"]." ");

Printing Search Results
How would I go about printing a list of search results? I have my query down fine:

<?php
$query = "SELECT data1, data2 FROM table WHERE name = '%$var%' ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
?>

I need to know what to do after this so that all results are printed in a table that includes 'data1' and 'data2'. I'd imagine this is done using 'while()' loops but I've never worked with one before and especially not in this context.

Search Results Substring
I have been searching for some clues as to how to show a substring from a
database search.

$pagetitle = "Page Title";
$pagetext = "This is a typical string that would be stored in the
database.";

Search for "that" results would look like

1. Page Title
...string that would...
2. Another page
...computers that can...
3. Further Page
...languages that are...

At the moment the search results just show the page title. The idea is that
in the set of results I can show the user the context of each result, a bit
like a search engine does. Ideall I would like up to 10 words either side
of the search keyword.

Counting Search Results
I would like to know if anyone can show me how to count search results in a MySQL database for a keyword ($keyword).

Posting Search Results
i am a bit stuck on this part of coding, when people search ALL categories i leave the option value as: <option value="0"> so if 0 is passed to the GET all categories should be searched instead of just category 1,2 or 3 etc Code:

Search Results Pagination
I have problem with results pagination. When search is applied browser is showing me first 10 results, and links to other pages, but there is a problem with these links (passing variables i think). When i press on one of the links browser is showing me info that search input must be longer then 2 char. (so it clear that search input has not been passed thru the link. Code:

Limiting Search Results
I have written a search script for my database but now I want to limit the results to ten a page and then make it possible to see the next (or previous) page. All my attempts so far have failed. Code:

Going Back To Search Results
I'm trying to work out how to go back to the search results page from an individual product page. I've tried to use the following code:

if (isset($HTTP_REFERER)) {
echo "<a href='$HTTP_REFERER' class='text'>Back to search results</a>";
} else {
echo "<a href='javascript:history.back()' class='text'>Back to search results</a>";
}
but the problem is that it just sends the user back to the last page, so isn't reliable enough.

I have a product page which contains one or more images, each image requires the page to re-load, so I want to re-direct the user to the search page from any of these iterations.

Could someone suggest how to do this? Is there a way of writing search variables into a session identifier that I can easily reference?

I know of several ways to do it using if statements and writing lots more sessions but I'm sure there's a cleaner way...

Search Results And Pagination
i'm having a wee bit of trouble with my search results and pagination i'm using the same pagination script i usually do with most pages, but this is proving to be a bit more difficult Code:

Splitting Search Results
I have a search page and try to split the result, as it is nicer to see, insted of 100 result to get it by 25 each.

The code is doing everything it have to do, but every time i go to the next page, it starts indexing them again from 1 insted of 26,27,etcetera...

I am a little tired of looking and at this moment i don't see the problem. Any suggestions. Code:

Highlighting Search Term Results
I've seen previous threads but I still need help in highlighting
search terms like google does on their search result page.

I know I need, ob_start();
Then I process to highlight the search term hits, then I flush the
buffer to render the page.

I'm comfortable with PHP coding but what I need is simple step by step
help, with a simple search form example. The explanations I see are either way to lofty or too small a piece of the "puzzle".

Search Form And Results Page
I have a table called "lista" into my mysql database.This table has 5 text columns : "TRANSLATEDTITLE" "ORIGINALTITLE" "ACTORS" "DIRECTOR" "YEAR" , and 1 image column called "COVER".

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?

Limit Search Results To 75 Characters?
I am working on a small search engine to put into my site to search the text on my pages. Right now all my page's text are being held in my database and displayed on my actual pages using php.

Anyways, I have so far limited my search results to the first 75 characters, then given the user a link to the page that the keyword they searched for resides on. The problem is that some of the keyowrds occur after the 75th character. Is there a way to display 75 characters with the keyword being in the middle of those 75 characters? Code:
