Any example code, links (even a RTFM+URL) would be appreciated. Thanks!

[PHP] Matching *exact* string?

I am foreach()ing through an array of ip addresses in a 'ban script' and

foreach($ips as $ip) {
preg_match(/$ip/, $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]);
$ban = TRUE;
}
This is great, but if 127.0.0 were in the ban list (for example) it
would still produce a ban as it partially matches.
How can I alter the above so that only *exact* matches are banned?

[PHP] matching search terms
Hi all. I was wondering if any of you have experience with searching through a database for user provided search terms. I was hoping that maybe I could get some insight into how to better approach what I am doing. Are there any great articles or example classes that I could look at? Please let me know! As of right now, my architecture is to have a primary class, Search, which connects to the database, takes search terms, removes junk wordsand suffixes (s, ing, etc.) (both defined by an array). The class runs a query on each word for each field that the class is told to search, and based on the relevance of that field (as supplied to the class), points are awarded to returned items. If they come up again on searches for other words, they get more points. Using that base architecture, I then extend the class (e.g. class Faq extends Search) and define word groups in the subclass. Word groups act to broaden the search words in a thesarus like fashion (when the search term dvd comes up, movie, title, video, etc. are added to the SQL query via OR). This way each subclass can define it's own set of word groups applicable for that usage. The problem I am having is that far too many irrelevant items are coming up. When is my package coming? for example returns all kinds of junk because when is everywhere in a Faq. I am hoping that there is some internet resource that has a variety of tricks and rules to throw into a search architecture, but I am also interested to see if anyone can give me some of their personal experience and expertise.

[PHP] matching system - anyone seen any?
I wonder if anyone have come across a script/system that already has this feature, else I would need to do it all over again. The scenario is this : I want people to select the movies they have seen and rate them 1/10. Movies not available in the polling system they can add, and rate them. This way the database is constantly growing, and ratings are constantly added. You can rate as many films you want, or noen if you like. Then, after you have rated you can match your ratings to find other people that match your selections. More like matching a profile really. There would be some sort of system inside here which could build a form of profile based on your ratings, and then compare theese profiles. I havnt really started planning how this would work, or should work, but first mainly if anyone has seen such a system around.

I feel bad about asking a question like this, but I've spent quite a bit of

against each other, e.g. Email equals Repeat Email. The following
function seems to work, however, I'm a little uncomfortable because I don't
understand it. Specifically, I don't understand why returning $str1 by
itself (or $str2 by itself) makes it work.

don't match it throws an error message into the $err_text array */

if ($match != true)
{

##civic_si
This is my content, blah blah
##end
##nissan
This is more content... yadda yadda
##end
...
Try this little code snippet:
?
$filename = 'cars.data';
$car = $HTTP_GET_VARS['car'];
if ($car != '') {
$file = file($filename);
if (is_array($file)) {
$read = FALSE;
foreach ($file as $f) {
if (!$read ereg('^##'.$car, $f))
$read = TRUE;
elseif ($read ereg('^##end', $f)) {
$read = FALSE;
break;
} elseif ($read)
$content .= $f;
}
}
}
echo content=$contentbr;
?
Hope this helps. :)

RE: [PHP] Matching strings in a flat/text file?
Jack, thanks for the response: I can use a database if really really needed. The main reason for wanting to use a flat file is for ease of update from the client's side. They are not technical in the least, and this will save me from having to update a database everytime. Although i guess i could write a front end to let them add stuff to the database... but i'm lazy like that ;). To do the 3 things you suggested, can you give me a code snippet to do that? //Nick -Original Message- From: Jack Dempsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 10:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Nick Richardson Subject: RE: [PHP] Matching strings in a flat/text file? lots of ideas nick, but can you use a database?

you're going about this the wrong way.
try it like this:

if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
// error code

you want to keep the result sets that mysql gives back as small as
possible because they take up tons of resources.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$First_Name = $row['First_Name'];
$Last_Name = $row['Last_Name'];
$Address = $row['Address'];

RE: [PHP] Matching Question
Thank you. That worked and I'm sure will have made it work a lot
faster later on when there is a lot of data in the database.

RE: [PHP] Matching Question
ok,
if i understand you correctly, you're taking data from a form and want to
check that it is not already in the database, right?
then why don't you include the submitted vars in the query like this:
$sql = SELECT First_Name, Last_Name, Address FROM $table_name
WHERE (Family_Position = 'H' or Family_Position = 'S') and first_name =
'$form_First_Name' and last_name='$form_last_name' and
address='$form_address';
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die( Couldn't execute query.);
$number_of_matches = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($number_of_matches 0)
{print bla bla;
else{
//submitted info is ok and can be inserted
}
please correct me if i missunderstood your question
regards

if(! $result = mysql_query($sql,$connection)) {

whta does your query look like?

[PHP] Matching irregular cases
I think this'll be an easy one for you fellas... I'm writing a search function for my site. The code to search the mysql db's are in place and working but here's the problem. For any matches that are displayed, I want to change the search query so it stands out in the result list. I'm just using... ereg_replace($search_query, "b$search_query/b", $row[6]); ...at the moment, but it wont match results where the case doesn't match. Ie if the search query is "blah", the mysql search will return both "blah" and "Blah" but the ereg_replace will only add the b tag to the "blah" result, not the "Blah" one. Thanks in advance.
