If $file_name includes the path

is there anyway of searching from the right hand side to the left and
getting the file name out the $file_name variable? The file name starts
the character following the last /
this should do it.

[PHP-DB] Re: Searching a name field
Yes you have to break this up into fields that hold your Firstname, MI,Lastname. This has so many advantages, using PHP string function to query inside fields might be useful somewhere else, I wouldn't recommend it for use in a large DB. Divide and conquer!

Well, This application would eventually land on either Linux or Windows box, it would be for internal use only, so it wouldn't get wacked too bad. I know IIS5 has a bunch of COM built-ins.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Searching Documents
correct to my knowledge. I am not sure even running ASP on a linux server would allow you to open the word documents, as I think ASP uses COM to do the dirty work. of course, you could always do the world a favor and not use microsoft's proprietary file formats in any way. an open standard will always be easier and be able to reach the most people--even micorosft products can read open standard documents, why shutoff the rest of the world to what you are doing by using M$? glad to hear you are running linux, though, so you must already know most of this :-) best of luck in your endeavors! court > -Original Message- > Now, if I do COM with PHP, then does this need to be on a Windows > server?

[PHP-DB] Re: Searching a table
Hello, Devon, Try the methos outlines in this article: http://phpbuilder.com/columns/clay19990421.php3 The method is basically this: break up all your fields into one word chunks. insert into a search_table a chunk and it's corresponding ID of the row it came from. It won't take boolean operations, but you could probably mod it to make it do it. It is a nice design though because you can get a relevancy percentage thingy. The only problem is that you have to run a maintenance script every day or hour to update the search terms. The other option is of course the old OR field1 LIKE '%keyword%' OR field2 LIKE '%keyword', etc. etc. -- Best regards, Jacob Singh Pajama Design (413)582-9342 2 Belanger Pl.
