Re: [PHP] Breaking up search terms into an array intelligently

space (a common typing error)? This should work:
function enhanced_explode($string) {

But what if I want to allow Google-type search parameters, so that
something like the following is split into 3 search terms?:

multiple spaces as the delimiter, nor the possibility of multiple delimiters

$search ='first -second +third fourth \fifth\-sixth seventh

Re: [PHP] Convert a timestamp to RFC822??
Usually you can use a function in your SELECT statement to change the format of your timestamp. In MySQL it's DATE_FORMAT [1]. Otherwise use PHP's Date and Time Functions [2]. You could for instance extract the ingredients of your database's timestamp with strptime [3] and reformat it with strftime [4].

[PHP] ran into a seemingly odd problem
Hello all.
I am new to this list but not to new to php although maybe the problem I
am having will prove otherwise
ok, I am writing a server(or trying to), Basically I am attempting to
write a chat type server in php. I cant seem to get it to realize that I
have typed more than one word, so execute the code within the if
statement. basic function is below, well what I am attempting to do
anyway, I have the str_word_count() defined as $word_count and $words for
the array of words that str_word_count($variable, 1) creates
ok, little piece of code is below
function commands($sock, $data)
{
$word_count = str_word_count($data);
$words = str_word_count($data, 1);
/* here is where the problems come in I think */
if(($word_count == 2) ($data == '.quit'))
{
echo you quit with a message of $data\n;
}
else
{
echo quitting without saying anything...\n;
}
}
it seems like the code fragment above does absolutely nothing e.g
$word_count reverts to being empty once the if statement is hit. if I put
something in the function, but outside of the if statement like
echo word_count was $word_count\n;
that works fine and returns an integer like it should
am I the only one who finds this little thing odd or am I missing
something that it is so simple it already sticks out to others as a big
glaring error?
any ideas?

RE: [PHP] searching through a mysql db/tbl
hi... i'm trying to figure out how to approach/solve a few issues. looking through google hasn't made the light shine!! 1) i'm trying to figure out how to allow a user to search through a query/tbl for a given string. ie, if i have the following as the result of a query: name email foo... aa [EMAIL PROTECTED] b1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]123 bb [EMAIL PROTECTED]qwe if i allow a user to search on say 'aa', i'd like the user to be able to get: name email foo... aa [EMAIL PROTECTED] b1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]123 any ideas as to how i could go about and create the query, or what would i need to do to have this result... Hi, Basically what you need to do is dynamically create the WHERE clause of your query string. In the example above, the WHERE clause might look something like: $qry = SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE '%$searchterm%' OR email LIKE '%$searchterm%'; If you want to span the search across more fields, simply add them as extra OR elements to the WHERE clause. 2) if i have a query that produces a number of rows, how/what would i need to do, to limit the number of rows displayed, and to allow the user to select a 'back/next' button that would generate/display the next 'N' items in the list/query results... if anybody could direct me to sample docs/code that kind of describes/solves what i've described, i'd appreciate it!!! Here I'm making the assumption that you're using MySQL. If that's the case, you need to familiarize yourself with the LIMIT clause. This allows you to specify a starting point and number of rows to return for the resultset. So, using the query above again: $qry = SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE '%$searchterm%' OR email LIKE '%$searchterm%' LIMIT 0,10; ...will return the first 10 results from your query (records 0 to 9). Note that the 'first' row is at position 0 in the recordset. Also note: if there are less than 10 records returned by your query (ie in your example, only 2 match your pseudo request), only those records will be returned. Then, issuing: $qry = SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE '%$searchterm%' OR email LIKE '%$searchterm%' LIMIT 9,10; ...will return the next 10 results from your query (records 10 to 19), and so on. This requires you to pass some variables from one search result page to the next, particularly the variable that indicates where the 'next' results should begin, allowing you to factor that in when building the LIMIT clause of the query string for the search results that should be displayed on that page. A Google search on PHP pagination or PHP paginate should return a number of online resources explaining how to paginate results returned from a db query in PHP. Hope this helps.

[PHP] PHP on FreeBSD - Compiler Bugs and Option selection
Hi ale I just wanted to check you had received OK the two compiler errors that I reported for /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions. The first error was apparently caused by make expecting libmagic in an incorrect path for FreeBSD 5.3. Once a copy was placed in the correct path compilation resumed. The second error seems also to be caused by an inability to find requisite files for wddx. ext/xml/expat_compat.h ext/xml/php As a result of compiling php5 I began to wonder whether it would be helpful to users if : drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 2 07:06 php5-cli drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 9 18:00 php5-extensions drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 28 10:06 php_doc were more integrated as choices within make for php5. I would personally find it helpful if all the build options for php could be in an editable file for sysadmins to define a repeatable unattended build from all available build options. A closer integration of the subsidiary php5 ports into the php5 make would facilitate this process. I do not not how welcome these proposals might be or how easy it would be to make the changes but would be interested to know what others think. Norberto Meijome [EMAIL PROTECTED] made a very interesting suggestion that he uses on his servers to achieve the above goal. He uses /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for that purpose but my preference would be to have a method that is particular to php and does not lead to an overloading of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.

[PHP] Re: PHP on FreeBSD - Compiler Bugs and Option selection
On Saturday 10 September 2005 12:49, the author Vizion contributed to the dialogue on- PHP on FreeBSD - Compiler Bugs and Option selection: Hi ale I just wanted to check you had received OK the two compiler errors that I reported for /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions. The first error was apparently caused by make expecting libmagic in an incorrect path for FreeBSD 5.3. Once a copy was placed in the correct path compilation resumed. I meant to say that full credit should be given to Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] who made the suggestion to copy /usr/src/contrib/file/magic.h to /usr/include/magic.h and see if it works. Which it did. The second error seems also to be caused by an inability to find requisite files for wddx. ext/xml/expat_compat.h ext/xml/php As a result of compiling php5 I began to wonder whether it would be helpful to users if : drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 2 07:06 php5-cli drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 9 18:00 php5-extensions drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 28 10:06 php_doc were more integrated as choices within make for php5. I would personally find it helpful if all the build options for php could be in an editable file for sysadmins to define a repeatable unattended build from all available build options. A closer integration of the subsidiary php5 ports into the php5 make would facilitate this process. I do not not how welcome these proposals might be or how easy it would be to make the changes but would be interested to know what others think.
