I don't quite understand what you are asking here? You are using explode
or something to break the input string into separate words, and then
using the list of words to build your query?
Perhaps showing your problem code might be useful.

the problem is there isn't any code yet
and yes what you said is corrent
if text input is: the big tree
would like $string1 = the
would like $string2 = big
would like $string3 = tree
and so on and so on for all the key words entered. Each key word needs to
have its own string alocated. Any suggestions.
ps: nice to see another kiwi in here.

try something like this (not tested):
<?
$getme = "the big tree";
$getme_arr = explode(" ", $getme);
$num = count($getme_arr);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `hyperlinks` WHERE 1";

Guys - can you set your mailer/news thingy to doofollowups at the end of
the article, please?
Now, let's take Martin's concept a little further. Suppose you want to
have an option that goes something like
"search for ALL words; search for ANY word" You might also want 'search
for exact phrase' but the implementation of that is dead easy so I'll
leave that for you :-)
So this choice might be made via checkbutton, dropdown or whatever, but
it returns the value AND or OR for ALL words or ANY words respectively.
Or it can return anything you like, and you test and use AND or OR as
required.
<?
//ALL or ANY?? Assume passed in as $opval and is either AND or OR
$getme = "the big tree";
// You might want to do something here if $getme is empty, or has only
// one word in it??
$sql = "SELECT * FROM hyperlinks";
if(!empty($getme)) {
$getme_arr = explode(" ", $getme);
$num = count($getme_arr);
if(1 == $num) { //Only one word to search on
$sql.= " WHERE keywords LIKE '$getme_arr' ";
} else {
$sql.= " WHERE keywords LIKE '$getme_arr[0]' ";
for ($i = 1; $i < $num; $i++)
if (strlen($getme_arr[$i]) > 0)
$sql .= " $opval keywords LIKE '%".$getme_arr[$i]."%'";
}
$sql .= " ORDER BY `id` ASC LIMIT 0, 30";
?>
Hmm, getting a bit rusty; there are probably better/neater ways of doing
that. But it should give you something to chew on. And I am sure I'm
missing a } or three in there but you do have to do some of the work :-)
And Philip, sorry, I'm not a real Kiwi - just here for a year or so from

database search logic like this can get _REALLY_ complex - you could
1) combine phrase and word search
eg something "some text together"
2) allow the user to decide which logic function to use
eg foo and bar or hello not world
3) and combine the two
eg foo and "bar lala" or "hello world" not anything
I'll let you figure out how to do all that - I've done it once, lost the
code and now have too many white hairs to think about doing it again!!

I cannot get session information to work under any circumstances....

setup();
//$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["notesType"] returns all
//Call the page with page.php
//Read $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. It's empty. It should return ALL
I do have register_global set. And I do have track_vars set.
But even reading the comments on the above page, nothing will work. It will
not persist with the session variable...
Am I doing something wrong?

If you are using recent PHP, track vars are always on.
Anyway, try E_ALL for error reporting, you might see
some error messages from sessoin module.

No, not with fopen(). What you can do is create a temporary file with
tempnam(), write the new data to that, *append* the data from the
original file, and rename the temp file over the original file.

The problem with that is that you have a time lag (perhaps only
in microseconds, but it still is a problem) while you're writing
the new data to the file. If some other process--say, another
invocation of the same script--tries to read from that file while
you're still overwriting it--you've got problems, since it'll find
only a partially-written file.
That's called a 'race condition'. The other method avoids that,
since while you're writing data to the temp file, processes just
keep using the original. Once you're done, the rename happens
atomically, preventing the race condition.

Guilty as charged. Not that CONFIG.inc has anything of value in it
but nonetheless I've just made it off limits.

I am currently running an old version of imap v4 from FreeBSD 4.1, and
I was going to install the latest 2001c library onto my computer. I realize
that after installing the library i should recompile PHP, but is there any
problems that anyone knows that will affect anything by doing this
upgrade?

This is not a big thing.
But I am looking at this thinking there is a way to make the code take up
even less lines.
Just want to stick this in my cap for future reference.
for($i=01;$i<=50;$i++) {
if (!empty($content)) {
if ($row[$content]==$states[$i])
echo "<option value=\"$states[$i]\"
selected>$nstates[$i]\n";
else
echo "<option value=\"$states[$i]\">$nstates[$i]\n";
}
else {
if ($dstate == $states[$i])
echo "<option value=\"$states[$i]\"
selected>$nstates[$i]\n";
else
echo "<option value=\"$states[$i]\">$nstates[$i]\n";
}
}
Basically I want to check for two possible conditions to make an item selected.
If the first one is valid then do not check for the other.
Get what I mean?
Any expert programmers out there with the way to chop this even further?
Thanks
Phillip

i would try:
for($i=01;$i<=50;$i++) {
if(!empty($content) && $row[$content] == $states[$i])
$selected = " selected";
elseif($dstate == $states[$i])
$selected = " selected";

$selected = "";
echo "<option

}

I always prefer to use printf to mix content and data.

How do i pull text from one file and have it print to another?
example:
I have a site where i use a table alot on alot of different pages but i dont
want to type out the table each time but rather use php to grab the table
from file-1.txt and print it on file-2.php?

you can try something like:
<?php include("file_with_just_the_table_and_html_tags.txt"); ?>
put your table in the above file (of course with a different name!) then
call it when ever you need to. Other's will disagree but you also need to
give the destination file a .php extension.

I am trying to have my form redirect back to my form, if the 'name' field is

{
header("Location: form.htm");
}
?>
Thanks,

Using header() to return will clear the entire form where all you want is
the person to fill in missing data. Yes?
I'd use something like:
if(!isset($name) die("Use the Browser's Back Button, fill in your name and
hit the \"Submit\" Button");
if(!isset($address) die("Use the Browser's Back Button, fill in your address
and hit the \"Submit\" Button");
etc.
This way, the user fills in only the missing data.
Hope this helps.

hi,
i'm working on content management sytem entirely written in Object oriented PHP using
templates
i used output buffering to be able to send header calls in the middle of my classes
i have noticed that performance has become "random" meaning that the same script could
take from 1 up to 30 seconds in the same conditions, passing
exactly the same parms.
while trying to find a solution, i removed the ob_end_flush() call while keeping the
ob_start() call at the beginning of the script
and strangely speed of execution came back to normal.
output buffering is still on
i am not flushing it out
the pages are generated just fine without freeing the buffer ??!!!!
i would like to know if anyone has had similr experiences with output buffering
this behaviour occured on a windows and a linux box both with php 4.1.1 and pretty
much the same php.ini settings
Regards

Hi!
All I want is, to call my php with a URL in my querystring!
myphp.php?URL=http....
my php should download the "URL", uuencode it, and then return the uuencoded
text!
as this should be binary-safe, it thought of using the linux-included
uuencode!
But how to get the (perhaps large binary) file and use uuencode like
"uuencode < input > output"?
thanks
