Search For Words Within The Text Of The PDF Files.
I have an online library of PDF files. Each PDF is roughly 500 pages. We would like to be able to search for words within the text of the PDF files. The PDF files will be searched across author, publication year, etc. Does anyone have any good tips/examples of how I might attempt to accomplish this? I had thought about using pdftotext to convert each pdf to a text file and then using grep to pull the words, but I think there is probably a better way of doing it.

Search For Words
I'm trying to write a quick search script which will search for mutiple words in MySQL. The search works fine for one word or if the words are in sequence or phrase. I've tried taking the entered form string and using explode to split the string by spaces, then using foreach to query the database.

Better Search Words
I have for example the word 'spider-man 3' or 'mr. bean' in my database. Is it possible to find the corresponding id's when the search string is without punctuation marks like searching with the string: 'spiderman' or 'mr bean'? I'm trying to accomplish it by using MATHC AGAINST, also in BOOLEAN MODE but with no success.

Search With Multiple Words Only?
Simply put I want the search to produce only the results with Every word in the search requested. For example. If a user types in 2005 Barry Bonds. (This is a sports auction site) I only want the query to produce auctions that have <b>all</b>3 words in them in any order. As it stands I get results with 2005 and barry and bonds. I need to narrow the search.

Search The Database For Key Words?
I have a table in my database called info. In this table there is a field named keywords. The keywords in this field are seperated by a comma and a space (example: 'dog, black, fuffy, cute'). I have a form on a page called seachform.php that posts the variable $keywords to a page named search.php. This is where I'm stuck. How do I search the database for key words? I'm not sure hoe to write the SQL query or how to handle the post if the user enters more than one word such as 'black dog'.

MySQL Allows Multiple Words To Search
I need a search that allows multiple words. I got started on the following by code others posted here before. $search = 'S 1' $searcha = Array(); $searcha = explode(" ", $search); $query = "select * from Story where 1=1 "; reset($searcha); while (list($key, $val) = each($searcha)) {$query.= "and Description LIKE '%$val%'"; } Description is a field in my table that contains the description of the story and the story number. ("This story is about garden planting, S 18"). Basically, the code works fine. The thing is when I search for "S 1" (story number 1), because of the "LIKE '%$val%'" clause, the query will basically return everything that starts with a "S" and everything that starts with an "1". So even though I search for "S 1", "S 18" will come up as well.

MySQL Search Function With Multiple Words
I'm using a search function I found online, and I modified it to fit in with my website. Now, I can pretty much understand everything it does, except for this one part, and this part seems to be the problem. When I enter a search, and it searches articles by their title, it will only return one word titles. Anything with multiple words, even if it's the exact same as the title in the database won't come up. Code:

Str_replace To Remove Words From Search Phrase
I'm trying to use str_replace to remove certain words from search terms with my website search. For example, when the user enters "term and word", it would remove "and" and only search for "term" and "word". I have the following list of words I want to remove: "And", "Or", "If", "We", "An", "A", "I" The problem is that if the user enters something like "Anderson", the term would be replaced with "erson" because the and is removed. Is there a way to remove only certain letters when they are by themselves? For example, change "Anderson and Bill" to "Anderson", "Bill" instead of "erson", "Bill".

Ranking MySQL Result By Number Of Matching Fields Against Search Words
i am adding a search capability in my webpage, i need to search for words selected by users using buttons in a form. i use this cause they will be searching for a word per field on the table. my query will be somethign like this: SELECT t1.f1, t1.f2, t1.f3, t1.f4 from t1 where t1.f1="red" ¦¦ t1.f2="manual" ¦¦ t1.f3="4WD" ¦¦ t1.f4"new"; the query work fine but the results are not sorted by number of matches, example if car1 is red, manual, 4WD, and new it should be the first one cause its "score" in matches is 4, then car2 if "score" is 3 will come next in the list, those with only one matching field will be the last ones, of course if no matching fields the car will not be in the results. Code:

Search Engine Bots Read PHP
Is there any possible way that search engine bots can read and index raw PHP code? I'm not sure. But, I've read that it is possible to search for code of vulnerable PHP websites through google search. I guess it is possible to search for PHP code since google indexes raw PHP code?

Read Log Files
I have a client doing some minor PHP development on my server, and they've asked for access to the apache error log to debug. I don't want to give them shell access, so I thought AJAX/PHP might be able to read and refresh the last 50 lines or so of the log file for them to view on the web.

Read Files From Visitor
I've tried, PHP Code: $fp = fopen('C:ProgrammesyscOnetstat.txt', 'r'); but of course this only reads out the netstat.txt on my server, not from the client. PHP Code: $fp = fopen('file:////c://Programme//syscOn//netstat.txt', 'r'); didn't worked as well. I just thought it must be possible, because some "1337-pages" can even read out your harddisk-content to an iframe.

Arrays And Sorting, Read From Files
this is an ecommerce website. the categories are static, but the products are not. what happens is a user clicks on a link, subgroups.php?a=miscellaneous. subgroups either has a=, p=, l=, c= or s= but not more than one. so, in a folder called 'dat' there are 5 text files: a, p, l, c, s. these contain the products for each category. what i want is a list of products to be read from the correct file and displayed in a tabled list. the files are layed out like this: miscellaneous|Sticky Tape|MS394 miscellaneous|Scissors|MS012 so, subgroups.php?a=miscellaneous will read a.txt and look for all rows starting with miscellaneous and display them in a table. along with a thumbnail (img/thumbs/MS394.gif or img/thumbs/MS012.gif) and a link to product information (dat/a/miscellaneous/ms394.txt) which will be included on the next page. How can i do this?

PHP Scripts To Parse/read OE Dbx Files ?
Does anyone know whethere a PHP class or script exists to read messages in outlook express mail databases ? I can't get OE to auto-save certain messages to regular files, and doing a manual SaveAs four times a day becomes a bit of a bore. Or should I intercept these messages directly from my pop3 mail server.

Read/write Access To All The Files
I recently made a php app for a company that spiders through a server and finds all files of a specified type (html, etc) and then opens the files and does specified things to them. So, the tool needs to be placed on the server and then it needs read/write access to all the files. It works fine on my local server, but the client says that it fails (message is "failed to write to file" and then it stops). I told him to try it with ALL files and folders set to 777 just for testing purposes and he says that it's still not working. I have no idea what to suggest.

Can I Use Php To Read From/write To Other Files On Server
I've got a news section on my page and I want people in the company to be able to fill out an online form to add new news stories so that the website looks constantly updated. all the news stories and scrolling abilities are currently in a javascript file which are written out to the page when a user loads the page. So preferably I'm looking to take in information from a form and write that information into my javascript file if that's possible. r if I can't do the above I want to take in information from my form and write to a database or new file then read that from my javascript file with php.

Read/write To Excel Or Same Type Of Files.
We need to be able to process invoices through the internet and have the customers be able to download these invoices. We are currently using Excel to do all the information. I was hoping to be able to use a third party program to generate these files, I have looked into .pdf, and xls files. From what I have read, it is pretty much impossible for me to get a script that will read an xls file, write data from a mysql database to it, then send the file to the customer for them to download/view with the new information. Is there a different program that works the same that I might be able to use.. or am I stuck trying to make alot of invoicing data look pretty through html tables?
