Advanced Search Template -- About Programming.
I know nothing about programming but I am building a website (written
with php) that allow people post some info.
Is there a site I can get some templates or php scripts for an advanced
search function?
The Advanced Search function shall able to search any posted info by a
postal code/zip code within certain kms and be able to search by map by
clicking to US/Canada map to get to state, then to cities than to
towns....

Advanced Search
Im looking to do one of the more advanced searches where you have a form you can narrow the search by username, user type, date entered, etc. Everywhere I've looked all I can find is the basic searches. Can someone point me in the right direction or show me some code.

Programming A Search Engine
Is there a way to program a full-scale search engine completely in PHP/MySQL? I mean check out IceRocket.com. Do you guys think that engine is done in PHP and MySQL? How does the crawling work? The reason I chose that site is because it provides a decent set of results, but not as much as Google.

Search In A File (advanced)
1. What do I want to do? I wish to create a search <FORM> to search in the contents of a text file located somewhere on the server. I wish to be able to: a) set a search criteria which is different from exact phrase Example: Searching Blue monkey happy should find Happy blue monkey b) set a search criteria with case INsensitive Example: Searching HAPPY BlUe MonKeY should find Happy blue monkey c) as the text file contains lines with a unique record on each; and on each line there are words separated by a TAB delimiter, I would like: - if a part of the line in the file matches the search criteria, the WHOLE line has to be printed; - results have to be printed in a <TABLE> with <TR> for every line match and <TD> for every word between the TAB delimiters in the file. Code:

Advanced Search Engine
I have a couple of sites built with different databases because all these sites are under different subject. And the databases have been built for a long time already. I want to make a global search engine so if you search for ie. "berry", it would display results from all databases that have the search word. Right now, if people want to search for "berry", they would have to go to my A database to search for it. Then if they want to search for "berry" from my B database, they would have to go there to search. So it's very inconvenient. I know I could just incorporate all the databases together into one big database, but I don't want to do that.

Advanced Search With Relevance Using Php And Mysql
I am working on a classifieds site that allows users to search for ads using many options. For example in the rentals area the user can select how many bedrooms, bathrooms, if pets are allowed, etc. There are currently 9 fields that i am allowing them to search on. I already found a great class on this forum that will make the dynamic mysql select statment, but i was unable to find much info on relevance displaying the best matching result first and the second best second and so on. I found a couple of tutorials but they were talking about matching a single word and the only relevance was that they were listing results higher depending on which result has the search string the most times. What i am trying to do is order relevance by having the top match be the one that matches closest to the 9 selections the user entered. So i would want any exact matches of all 9 fields at the top and then the list of matches would get less and less exact as you go farther down into the results. My initial thought was to make more than one mysql select, having the first select match all the searched fields exactly, and then the next select would do the same thing except one of the fields would be changed to find all of that one field that are not equal to what the user entered. example: PHP Code:

Advanced Search W/ Multi-Select Array
I'm working on a site that deals with a MySQL database of stores across the country. I'm implementing an 'advanced search' section, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to handle queries that are derived of variables coming from multi-select lists. It seems like it would be an obvious thing, just going off the sheer ubiquity of similar search pages out there, but I just can't seem to come up with the logic behind it. Code:

Search Script - More Advanced To Account For Multiple Criteria Strings
I am wanting to search one of my databases, which I have sucessfully achieved using the code: PHP Code: SELECT DISTINCT Plus.Desc, Cstr(Price) AS string_price FROM Plus WHERE Plus.Desc LIKE '%".$criteria."%'" I need to make this script more advanced to account for multiple criteria strings. I.e. If the criteria is "Gloss Paint" I want the results to bring up all the products described with either of the two words in the criteria, so it may bring up the products "gloss 5L white" and also "matt paint 5L", whereas, at the moment with the script, only the products with both the two words will appear, i.e. "gloss paint 5L". which obviously limits the results to very few and is very ineficient.

Php Template System And Search Engines
I've been working on a new design for our website, and we came up with a php template system, which reads a content page from a folder "conent"(html files). as such: index.php?content=pagex Now I was wondering if a searchengine would pick up a page from the pages folder, the viewer would only see the text because the design, menus etc are all being created by the index.php. The above we do not want to happen! is there ny way to avoid such an incident?

Call The Template And Replace The Fields In The Template With Some Sizzling Content.
Im looking to develop a Template System that i can use in websites for my clients.I have had a look at FastTemplate, PHPLIB, and PEAR. I have also written a Template System that is sort of a hybrid of all three but, i was wondering what everyone else's views or opinions are on what features should be included in a good Template System. Obviously the templates will reside in another file and some PHP code will call the template and replace the fields in the template with some sizzling content.

New To OO Programming
Ive been using PHP 4 for about 3.5 years now, and havnt messed with objects and classes for whatever reason, however I know I need to start using them. With someone who has no class/object programming experience, php's manual is quite dull and leaves me scratching my head. Is there a more indepth manual or tutortial somewhere that can explain everything, and more importantly... I cant figure out why and when an object/class would be used? Im also switching to PHP 5.

Programming
The site is currently not running due to us emigrating, but during its last year we got traffic of between 2000 - 2500 unique visitors per day. We are now about to re-launch the site from Sweden and we need to purchase a script to run it. Having looked at what is available on the net I have realised that we need a custom built - or modified - script and I am now turning to you to ask what it would cost to buy the script I need. It's just such a jungle out there and most of the scripts have *something* I need but not all of it. I estimate that the development time for programming will be around 10 man-hours and I simply can't afford the going rate for an established programmer to do this. What we need: -A script that can handle multiple connections open simultaneously - Multiple categories with independent subcategories. - Fast and reliable search function with cross-referencing between the categories. - Preferably the script should be able to handle multiple languages - Coded in PHP for a MySQL, but need to be adaptable for migration over to SQL - Adapted to the design of our site, I have knowledge of PHP in order to do more simple adaptations myself but need it to be as clean as possible to start with We do not - and do not wish to - charge for membership since we firmly believe that you should not have to pay to get a chance to be happy. The site is completely run by private means. Therefore we can not afford to pay a large amount of money for a script. We can, in exchange for a moderately priced script, offer advertising space on the site, and/or for a programmer about to establish themselves, references.

Modular Programming?
I still have a difficult time seperating design from logic... I have tried to "move" code (that can be "moved") into functions; which I've heard are *much* faster than classes (can anyone confirm this?) But, especially when querying a data, I find it hard to return result w/o including any design (html) aspect into php or the functions. i.e. function site_sidebar_show_cats() { $sql="SELECT ..."; $result=mysql_db_query($db_name,$sql); if (!$result || mysql_num_rows($result) < 1) { $display_cats = ' <FONT COLOR="red">Error: no categories</FONT> ' return $display_cats; } else { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $display_cats .= '<FONT COLOR="blue"><A HREF="page.php?". $row['categories_id'] .'/">'. $row['categories_name'] .'</A></FONT> ' } return $display_cats; } } This was just a quick scribble for demonstration. If I wanted to use this function (retrieve categories) from xml or even flash, I'd be in trouble. How can I truly seperate logic from design? Also, I've heard of script where people have programmed them (modularly) where they could "plug-in" new features / components without any changes (or very few) to the original script. Where can one learn this kind of programming?

PHP And Network Programming...
I'm sort of like stucked here with some architecture that I need to come out with. Currently I'm planning to develop a system that will enable the manager to be notified and take action on a certain kind of transactions that I want to do. First of all, I'm trying to connect the PHP socket to a server which is running at a manager's office. Well, let's consider that the IP for that office is a fixed ip. My problem will be if the particular manager's computer is within a LAN itself, they would have their own ip by themself. I can't develop the program that will connect to the PC within the LAN because the program will not be able to find the server that is within the LAN itself. anyone with any ideas on how to do this? it had been torturing me for the past few weeks, just hope that I can just walk out of this torture chamber in one piece.

PHP4 Vs 5 Programming
Since PHP5 classes use the __constructor() method, and PHP4 still requires the classname as constructor, is there an easy way to incorporate both in my class definitions so the class is usable in both versions? I know php5 will look for an old style constructor if there is no __constructor definition, but I am convinced this will be deprecated in future versions...

Programming Practices
Which are considered to be the best programming practices? for example i prefer to not store sessions into files (as done by default by php), but in a database as this gives me the possibility to use the same session on multiple servers, this is possible because of the session_set_save_handler() function! So which do you use (non-oop)? To enlarge the topic a bit: which threads are all out there and how do you solve them (e.g.: cross site scripting)?

COM Programming For Peachtree
I am trying to code a module using COM objects from Peachtree Acccounting's SDK. I can get to other applications (Word, Excel, IE, etc.) using COM, but can't seem to instantiate Peachtree's objects, and all of Peachtree's examples are in VB and the like, and don't translate well (at least while I'm the translator). The following code blows up: $modul = "PeachtreeAccounting.Application"; $peachy = new COM($modul); with the following error: Failed to create COM object `PeachtreeAccounting.Application': Invalid syntax The following code does not blow up: $modul = "PeachtreeAccounting.LoginSelector.1"; $peachy = new COM($modul); although the object it instantiates does not seem to all there. The "PeachtreeAccounting.LoginSelector.1" was pulled from a registry search to see what my system knew about Peachtree objects.

Programming With Modules
learning resources or simple examples on how to use modules while programming with php? Modules being different parts of the website, for example a module for news, polls, or whatever you might have. I'm trying to understand how to implement such methods, rather than just including files where you want it to be displayed. I guess the "proper" method would use OOP in some way or another.

Advanced OO Topic
I notice a strange behavior in PHP4 and wonder if anyone can explain it. Essentially, when I extend a class from a built-in module, I can add and access variables but can not access new functions I create within the extended class. This has only happened attempting to extend classes from ming, but I suspect it may be a universal problem (?). That is: <?PHP class foo { } class bar extends foo { function bar() { print "bar"; } } $bar = new bar(); $bar->bar(); //PRINTS "bar" ?> Works as expected, however, in: <?PHP class foo extends SWFSprite { var $x = 10; function bar() { print "bar"; } } ?> running: <?PHP $foo = new foo(); print $foo->x; //WORKS; PRINTS "10" $foo->bar(); //RETURNS "Undefined Function" FATAL ERROR ?> Can anyone explain this behavior? Will it be fixed in PHP5? Is it related to the Zend engine? Any workarounds?

Advanced SQL Query
I have built a script that checks if another server is up or down. If the server is down it stores the timestamp in a MySQL database – but if the server is running nothing is stored. The reason why I don’t store the uptime is because the scripts runs every minute, so the database would fill up really fast so Iamm trying to avoid string the uptime. The problem is when I want to select the last downtime I want to count how many minutes the server was down. The database looks something like this: Id – Date 01 - 2005-11-17 12:00:00 02 - 2005-11-17 12:01:00 03 - 2005-11-17 12:02:00 04 - 2005-11-17 12:03:00 05 - 2005-11-17 15:00:00 06 - 2005-11-17 15:01:00 07 - 2005-11-17 15:02:00 08 - 2005-11-17 15:03:00 Okay, according to the table the last downtime was November 11 @ 15:03 and then the server was down for 4 minutes.

Programming Tips And Tricks
I have been programming in PHP for a while now, every prgrammer comes across little tips and tricks that work really well. Usually these things are pretty simple, like using include_once instead of include for certain files, or just the way you structure your files (I personally keep all my methods in include files in an includes directory, seperating news related ones into news.php or similar and user related ones in a user.php file etc.). I also tend to have a configuration file that can be included on each page for a few important variables or pieces of code. I just wondered what tips and tricks people have out there that they think other people might benefit from.

Anyone With PHP-Nuke Programming Experience.
My question is about the language files and db. What I want to do is somehow keep a list of answers in a table, that correspond to the variable in the lang-english.php file. For instance the entry in the lang-english file would be: define("_ANSWER001","Text for answer001."); The entry in the db would be say: ANSWER001 which will be chosen randomly from the module. My problem is the page displays exactly what the db has in the field. So instead of translating ANSWER001 into what the lang-english.php has, it just displays ANSWER001 on the page. I've tried playing with all the syntax and can't get it to work. Does anyone know if this is possible? I want to make the module easier for language translation if I can.
