[PHP] Searching My Database
Morning everyone. I've read around the subject of searching and although using the FULLTEXT capability of MySQL might be the proper way of doing this I feel it's somewhat limited and have decided to use a simple select procedure. I'm sure there's a better way of doing this, as I'm quite new to MySQL and even newer to searches, However - here's my conundrum: I'm declaring variables at the top of my query like so: Code: $WorkPermit == ' . $_POST[WorkPermit] . '; And then execute the query like so: Code: SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE `Work_Permit_Rqd` LIKE '$WorkPermit' But I have many other fields that the searcher can use. What do I do if they leave this field blank...? I appreciate that I should be using the MATCH function but I'm not entirely happy with the way it searches. What I need to do is actually omit a field (s) from the search if the value the searcher submitted was NULL. For example: Search field X and Y and Z and if x or Y are null continue... Am I explaining this OK...? Any suggestions gratefully received. -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Match Vs Where - Fulltext Search
Hi all. It took me some time to discover that you can't use a MATCH | AGAINST statement unless you create an fulltext index of the fields to search at the same time. Strange, I know. What's more strange is that as I read more I wonder why people use it because it will only seartch complete words, will not search on words that are 3 characters or less, treats hyphenated words as seperate words and has a whole long list of excluded words. OK, so I'll use the following: [code]$query = SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE `UserID` LIKE '$Keyword01' or `UserID` LIKE '$Keyword02' or `UserID` LIKE '$Keyword03' or `UserID` LIKE '$Keyword04' or `UserID` LIKE '$Keyword05'; $Data = mysql_query($query) or die(Error 1: . mysql_error());[/code] But the only problem I see with this is that although it allows me to search using wildcards and partial words it seems a very lengthy way of completing the task because I think I would have to repeat this statement with something like OR WHERE for each field I wanted to search. I know this post is lengthy and I apologise for putting you to sleep but I'd really love to get to the bottom of this one sometime soon. Has anyone else experienced similar frustrations searching their databases - I can't be the only one...! -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It appears that I am unable to output the data to a directory because although my user has sufficient privileges on the database to execute the query the user in question does not have file privileges. As I am reliant on my host I'm looking for other ways to achieve this. Could I possibly set a prompt for downloading the file...? If so, how...? Or could I echo to screen and copy and paste...? I'm looking for a better solution than that last brain fart though.

[PHP] Query Results Question
I have the following query which should return just two rows: SELECT 'ID', 'Vacancy Role', 'Vacancy Salary', 'Vacancy Location', 'Vacancy Type' FROM vacancy_details WHERE Publish = 'Yes' As only two rows have Publish set to Yes. yet even if I execute the query through phpMyAdmin I get two rows with field headings as field values.

Hi,
Take the spaces out of your field names, and then use this:
?php
$query = mysql_query(SELECT
id,vacancy_role,vacancy_salary,vacancy_location,vacancy_type FROM
vacancy_details WHERE Public='yes');
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

You are correct that the mysql_fetch_array will return an array which you
can format into a table. You can use a while loop if you would like,
which
is probably the simplest.

I deleted a whole load of lines and still get the error. I've narrowed it
down to this code:
?php
// Verify User Input:
echo brbrbr;
$requiredFields =
array('Title','ChristianName','Surname','HomePhone','Address01','City','Post
code','Country','Gender','WorkPermitRequired','MyStatus');
$errors = array();
forEach($requiredFields as $fieldName)
{
// If using post, change $_GET to $_POST instead
if (empty($_POST[$fieldName]))
{
// The field is empty
$errors[] = 'Required field ' . $fieldName . ' empty!';
}
}
if (count($errors))
{
// Empty fields detected!
echo Sorry ;
echo $_SESSION['UserCName'];
echo brbr;
echo The Following Fields Require Input ~ Please Go Back.;
echo brbr;
forEach($errors as $error)
{
echo $error . 'brbr';
}
}
else
{
echo Hi...!;
?
But the error (line 40) is actually the last line...! :|

I see one problem, but not the one you are talking about.
// Convert Values to Variables:
$Title = $_POST[Title];
This (and the rest of the post fields) should have quotes:
$Title = $_POST[Title];
(php looks for a constant named Title, instead of the string Title)
What line gives you the parse error?

You had a missing brace. When the error line is the last line (and
especially
if error is Undefined $end) then you likely have a missing ending brace or
ending quote. Not trying to start a flame war here, but if you try a
different
coding style you might have an easier time keeping track of open braces.

working code (in my own style :)):

foreach($requiredFields as $fieldName) {

you need to call session_start() on every page, yes.
Also, if you're bored with assigning values like that, and you're sure
you're not overwriting anything, you could try:
$_SESSION = array('UserId'='userid', 'Authorised'='yes','etc'='blah');
However, remember that you don't need to REassign values to $_SESSION to
keep them stored over multiple visits! :)
hope that helps,

That's completely fine. The main thing is, you just want to have session keys get written before you start sending output. Just to throw out another idea... Do you plan on having session keys used for *every* page? If so, then you could set your php.ini auto_prepend_file to automatically process your session script for every request.

Have done the numbers and have to agree that although cookies make life easier for the developer the whole reason for cookies is to make life easier for the browser. We have to accept that not all users can interrogate a cookie download and verify if the site is safe, so sessions it is :) -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - Ed Lazor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using PHP sessions for user tracking. My host provider's server is dropping session data. He swears it's my scripts and says I should be using cookies for better security. That goes completely opposite to my understanding, so I'd like to run it by you guys. Which is more secure: PHP sessions or cookies? In case you're curious, more details on the specifics of the problem I'm experiencing: I have a prepend file that executes start_session. The script assumes the user is a guest if $_SESSION[UserID] is not set. All guests route to the login screen. Successful authentication sets $_SESSION[UserID] and sends you to the original requested page. It seems fairly straight forward to me. People are able to login and start using the site, but the login screen displays randomly after they've already authenticated successfully. It sounds like PHP session data is being lost on the server. I've also seen error messages on web pages that report PHP / MySQL as having trouble reading from the temp directory. Here's the extact message: ERRORError writing file '/tmp/MYiYcf7q' (Errcode: 28). Anyway, those are the details. I look forward to hearing what you think. -Ed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Session Variables ~ Best Practices
thanks Jay. -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] I am also wondering if I need to declare all my variables one after the other or can I simply declare variables that I will be using immediately upon submission. [/snip] Since PHP is not strongly typed (like C or C++) you need not declare any variables. There are some caveats (see http://www.php.net/error_reporting ). Is it good practice? Not really, especially if you have a shop where more than one developer may be touching the code. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've been trying to do that all afternoon Torsten. Had the browser page sat there for a few hours now, only just got time to read it. -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - Torsten Roehr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Harlequin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll have a look at that Torsten, thanks.

Take a look at the package description for its intended use and features. Regards, Torsten -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
