MySQL FT Search - Removing Duplicates
I have a MySQL Fulltext search engine that works beautifully. One problem though: If a row has more than one occurence of the search term, it will display the row over and over for each match. Is there a way that I can return only one row? I tried "array_unique" but I couldn't get it to work.

Removing Duplicates
I'm getting some data from a database, but there are duplicates for every entry. For instance, if you looked a table of posts for this forum, you'd see posts and the author. I'm getting the author, so there could be hundreds or more of repeats. I'd like to basically get all the uniques in a column.

Removing Duplicates From A List Box
I have written a script, that pulls the cities and zip codes from a database and puts them in a list box, for people to select from. I have several duplicates in each. How can I remove the duplicates so that every city and zip code only displays once. Here is the code I am working with. <? @require_once('connectdb.php'); $select = "SELECT * FROM listings"; $result = mysql_query($select); while($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $city[]=$data[ƍ']; $zip[]=$data[Ə']; } ?> <form action="search.php" method="post" name="search"> <table> <tr><td> ...

I'd like to remove the duplicates but have no idea how. I figured if I stick it in an array it will be easier. There is an array_unique function after all. But I have no idea how to get the data in an array. I tried $arr1 = str_split($variable); but it spit out an error, probably due to the trailing comma.

Delete Duplicates In MySQL
I have a database in MySql which has 2 fields. The 1st field is called id which is the primary key. The 2nd field is called full_add where there are some duplicates. I would like to delete all the duplicates in the full_add field leaving only 1 record behind. It does not matter if the corresponding primary key gets deleted as well because the primary key is not related to any other table or database. I prefer not to use temporary tables or create new tables because my webhost does not allocate much memory to me & my database is quite big.

Removing Mysql Data
I'm nearly finished developing an image upload page for a client, and it occur to me that i hadn't really put much thought in how my client would remove uploaded images (if she so choosed to). The images are uploaded to a directory and a url record is kept in mysql, and subsequiently written to xml and passed on to the .swf file. i notice the other day when i removed all the images from the directory then uploaded a new image, php wrote to the xml all the pre-existing images url's of the images that weren't there, i guess this being because i hadn't notified mysql huh? Could someone please put me onto a tutorial related to removing server side data and wiping it from its mysql table concurrently.

Removing Old MySQL Install
I recently installed and configured Apache 2.0.49, Mysql 4.0.18, PHP 4.3.5, and ActivePerl 5.8.3. Prior to this I was running a preconfigured (firepages.com.au's thing called PHPDev) bundle consisting of Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.2.1, ActivePerl 5.6.x, and MySQL 3.23.49. I completely removed the old install, uninstalling it and deleting all the files etc. Everything in the new install works great. My problem is, when I look in the phpinfo.php file, it still shows MySQL 3.23.49 as my build - not the new 4.0.18 I installed. It is on a WinXP Pro SP1a box..

Removing Linebreaks When Inserting To MySQL?
I'm using a textarea to insert some notes into a database. It's inserting the complete result into the mySQL table including the linebreaks...and not as a visible symbol but an actual linebreak. If I select the fireld in mySQL at a command prompt, the results take an inordinate amount of space from all the linebreaks. I tried nl2br() before it goes into the INSERT, but all that does is ADD <br /> to the data but it still have linebreaks in the field. Is there some way to replace linebreaks with something else than the break itself so I can save database space?

Duplicates
check for duplicates of anything? For example, in the customers table, I want to check for duplicate zip codes, and display them. So, if there are 40 records of zipcode ?', and 35 records of? By the way, I don't know what zip codes are out there, I just used those as examples. So, I don't have an particular zip code I'd like to view. I'm just curious to see how many of any duplicate zip codes are in the table.This query does the exact opposite of what I want to do:PHP Code: SELECT DISTINCT zipcode FROM customers And I tried this query,but it only seemed to cause my PhpMyAdmin to bog down:PHP Code: SELECT zipcode FROM customers WHERE zipcode IN ( SELECT zipcode FROM customers GROUP BY zipcode HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ) How would I pull out only zip codes, if, there are more than 1?

Trying To Prevent Duplicates In Preg_replace Regex
I'm trying to write a regex pattern to use in preg_replace. Basically I want to put [brackets] around every line ( ) in this variable. However, I need to exclude lines that already have brackets or quotation marks around them as well as lines that start with a hyphen. Lastly the lines with ** need the brackets before the **, instead of at the end of the line. Here is what I have so far - it is close, but I keep ending up with duplicate brackets. $temp = 'this is a test "this" "is" "a" [this] [is] [a] test ** 93.23 test 2 ** 10.05 -this -is -a another good test ' $PATTERNS = array("/^[^"[]/m", "/[^"]]$/m", "/[ ]+/", "/ ** (.*)]/"); $REPLACEMENTS = array("[", "]", "] [", "] ** $1"); $output1 = trim(preg_replace($PATTERNS, $REPLACEMENTS, trim($temp))); print_r($output1);

Mass Mailer Sends Duplicates

I am using the phpmailer class version 1.73. I also have it set up to use a POP3 account. I am going to be changing it so that I use either sendmail or qmail depending on the server I set it up on. I have tried writign the program several different ways to try to stop it from sending duplicates, but it still does. When I run a test with 2 or 3 emails in the test table in the database it only sends one message to each email address, but when I send out to several hundred or more email addresses it sends multiple emails to each address. It sends to all the addresses in the query one row at a time, then it proceeds to send to all of them again.

Form Validation - Finding Duplicates: Regular Expressions Or String Functions?
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient method for taking the first character in a string (which will be a number), and use it as a variable to check to see if the other numbers in the string match that first number. I'm using this code for form validation of a telephone number. Previous records from the past few months show that when someone is just messing around on one of our forms (to waste our time), they type in a phone number like "555-555-5555" or "111-222-3333". Our Web forms have three text boxes for each telephone number: homephone1 = area code (3 digits) homephone2 = prefix (3 digits) homephone3 = suffix (4 digits) businessphone1 = area code (3 digits) businessphone2 = prefix (3 digits) businessphone3 = suffix (4 digits) My plan is to check for this pattern, then if I find it, just redirect the user to the thank you page so they'll think the form was processed, when it actually wasn't. As we find additional patterns that people use for malicious data, I'll enter those as well (e.g., 123-123-1234) Also, if you see any tutorials, or articles that talk about "real world" form validation please point me to them. I've been looking for references for form-based validation logic that takes real world dummy data into account, but haven't found much.

Search A MySQL Table
I want to create a php script to search a mySQL table. I started to create the script myself, but I got stuck, because the script became VERY complex. The reason why it's complex is this: *the script must be able to search all four columns of the table. if the user defines four different values to search (one for each type of variable (ie.: for each column)). If he doesn't give four values but by example only two, the script needs to search on these two values... *the script needs to return all four values of all the rows that match the query *the script may not return each result more than one time *if possible, the script needs to return 'the best match' on top examples: consider a table with four columns: animal_type |age | name | sex horse | 5 |beauty| female horse | 4 |bless |male cat | 9 |***** |female the query (horse,5,beauty,female) must return horse | 5 |beauty| female (only one time!!! this sounds logic, but it isn't!!!) the query(female) must return horse | 5 |beauty| female cat | 9 |***** |female the query (horse, female) must return 1) horse | 5 |beauty| female 2) horse | 4 |bless |male 3) cat | 9 |***** |female (number 1 must be on top; 2 and 3 may be changed of place, because they only match one variable!!)
