[PHP] Search function not working...
So I said in another thread that I would be asking another question
about functions... So here it goes, I am attempting to write a
function to search the database, which used to work just fine when I
wrote it without using a function (Would that be considered static?)
Now that I am attempting to rewrite my stuff so I can reuse the code,
now it's not working... Here is what I used to do and it worked just
fine:
$qstring = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE FName like '%$search%' or
LName like '%$search%' or Add1 like '%$search%' or Add2 like '%$search
%' or City like '%$search%' or State like '%$search%' or Zip like '%
$search%' or XCode like '%$search%'";
if ($_SESSION['search'] != NULL){
echo "The search string is: $search.";
$qrow[]= mysql_query($qstring) or die(mysql_error());
$qresult = $qrow[0];
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qresult);
//display search form
echo "
Search:
";
echo <
And what happens, is first of all it displays the entire database on
the search page, which I'm kind of okay with... But when you search,
it updates the variables, and echo's out the right search term, but it
doesn't update the database to only show the search results... I think
it might be tied to it displaying the entire database at page load...
But I'm not sure.. Anyone have an idea of what I did wrong other then
everything? :)
Oh, and as far as calling the function I do this: search($searchvar,
$table, $num_rows, $FName, $LName, $Add1, $Add2);

Nathan Nobbe schreef: all, as ive been researching SPL lately ive read several times that spl will store only the current element of the underlying collection in memory during iteration. articles that mention this will say that using these iterators should afford savings when traversing large collections. well having found nothing empirical i decided to run some tests myself. and for the hell of it, i also decided to throw the array-by-reference construct in there (thats the name im giving to the syntax which lets you alter the array youre iterating over from within the array). mainly because ive heard people say it will save memory. however, based upon some things ive read, ive been skeptical of that info. so here is a quick little report i whipped up, which has the script i used for the test, and the results in a graphical format so you can get a quick feel for them. http://nathan.moxune.com/arrayVsArrayIteratorReport.php at this point i must retract some of the statements i made during the conversation about ruby yesterday. it turns out, spl iteration is not twice as fast as standard array iteration, in fact it quite a bit slower! that makes sense - your creating objects and wrapping the original data in order to iterate over it - that can only mean overhead in terms of memory and performance. I stick with arrays and foreach (I agree with the carpal tunnel syndrome statement) also, it takes up more memory, and lastly, whoever said that using the array-by-reference syntax saves memory is dead wrong ;) -nathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Pass Variable Names to a Function
I would like to use a function to check to see if a session variable
is set and return the session variable if it is set, and return blank
if not. Something like
function set_var($var)
{
echo "var = $var \n";
if (isset($_SESSION['$var']))
{
return $_SESSION['$var'];
}
else
{
return "";
}
}
And I would call the function with set_var($name) or set_var($phone).
The problem is getting the function to use $var as a variable name,
rather than a value. What am I missing, please?

Jason,
1. You're missing a closing brace at the end of the while loop.
2. You're not returning anything from the function.
The input parameters are pretty clear but what were you expecting to
accomplish within the function?
All the data returned from the query only have scope within the function, so
unless you return something, like an array or a string, use references, or
write to a global variable, you're not doing anything with the data from the
db.

Hi David,
Thanks for looking. I'm just starting to learn about functions, and
obviously making a few mistakes along the road...
Basically what I am trying to do is allow my customer the ability to
search the database, display it on the website, and then export it to
excel if they wish...
the missing closing brace was a bad copy/paste job.
I have tried to add $searchReturn = search($searchvar, $table,
$num_rows, $FName, $LName, $Add1, $Add2);
and then do a vardump on it and it's not returning any thing.
I've also changed the return line to return $searchReturn['FName'];
but it's still not showing through...
I think functions will be the death of me... at least until I
understand how to use them :)
I think I'm off to google some more and see if I can get any more
info...
Thanks again for your help!

Untested, but try this...

Hold on a moment...
function search($searchvar, $table, $num_rows, $FName, $LName, $Add1, $Add2)
{
$qstring = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE FName like '%$searchvar%'
or LName like '%$searchvar%' or Add1 like
'%$searchvar%' or Add2 like
'%$searchvar%' or City like '%$searchvar%' or State
like '%$searchvar%'
or Zip like '%$searchvar%' or XCode like
'%$searchvar%'";
$qresult = mysql_query($qstring) or die(mysql_error());
//$qresult = $qrow; // this line is the problem !
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qresult);
$outputStr = "";
while($qrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($qresult)) {
$FName = $qrow['FName'];
$LName = $qrow['LName'];
$Add1 = $qrow['Add1'];
$Add2 = $qrow['Add2'];
$outputStr .=
"$FName$LName$ADD1$ADD2\n";
}
$outputStr .= "";
return $outputStr;
}
$searchReturn = search($searchvar, $table, $num_rows, $FName, $LName, $Add1,
$Add2);
echo $searchReturn;
That should work, assuming the query returns at least one row..

So I said in another thread that I would be asking another question
about functions... So here it goes, I am attempting to write a function
to search the database, which used to work just fine when I wrote it
without using a function (Would that be considered static?) Now that I
am attempting to rewrite my stuff so I can reuse the code, now it's not
working... Here is what I used to do and it worked just fine:
$qstring = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE FName like '%$search%' or
LName like '%$search%' or Add1 like '%$search%' or Add2 like '%$search%'
or City like '%$search%' or State like '%$search%' or Zip like

$qresult = $qrow[0];
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qresult);
//display search form
echo "

echo <<

//Display the search results using heredoc syntax

{$qrow['Add2']}
{$qrow['City']}
{$qrow['State']}
{$qrow['Zip']}
{$qrow['XCode']}
{$qrow['Record']}
Edit

HTML;
Now, here is what I have as a function and is not working:
function search($searchvar, $table, $num_rows, $FName, $LName,
$Add1, $Add2) {
$qstring = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE FName like '%$searchvar%'
or LName like '%$searchvar%' or Add1 like '%$searchvar%' or Add2 like
'%$searchvar%' or City like '%$searchvar%' or State like '%$searchvar%'
or Zip like '%$searchvar%' or XCode like '%$searchvar%'";
$qrow[]= mysql_query($qstring) or die(mysql_error());
$qresult = $qrow[0];
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qresult);
//while($qrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($qresult)) {
$FName = $qrow['FName'];
$LName = $qrow['LName'];
$Add1 = $qrow['Add1'];
$Add2 = $qrow['Add2'];
return;
}
?>
And what happens, is first of all it displays the entire database on the
search page, which I'm kind of okay with... But when you search, it
updates the variables, and echo's out the right search term, but it
doesn't update the database to only show the search results... I think
it might be tied to it displaying the entire database at page load...
But I'm not sure.. Anyone have an idea of what I did wrong other then
everything? :)
Oh, and as far as calling the function I do this: search($searchvar,
$table, $num_rows, $FName, $LName, $Add1, $Add2);

Ok, here would be my rendition of this function.
0 ) {
// Loop through result set
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res) ) {
// Place returned row of data into our results array
$results[] = $row;
}
}
// Return result set of data, or blank array
return $results;
}
// $_SESSION['search'] = $_GET['search'];
$searchvar = 'something you want to search for';
// Call function
$dataSet = search($searchvar, 'myTable');
// Get the number of results returned
$num_rows = count($dataSet);
?>
if the above code get messed up by the email, check out this link.

hi people, I'm in the market for a new framework/toolkit/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. I've been taking a good hard look at the Zend Framework - if nothing else the docs are very impressive. I'd like to hear from people who have or are using ZF with regard to their experiences, dislikes, likes, problems, new found fame and fortune, etc ... but only if it concerns ZF. I don't need to hear stuff like 'use XYZ it's great' - finding php frameworks/CMS/etc is easy ... figuring out which are best of breed is another matter, if only because it involves reading zillions of lines of code and documentation. besides I find that you only ever get bitten in the ass by short-comings and bugs when your 80% into the project that needs to be online yesterday and you knee deep in a nightmare requirements change or tackling some PITA performance issue. so people, roll out your ZF love stories and nightmares - spare no details - share the knowledge. or something :-) tia, Jochem -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Redirecting STDERR to a file?
Hi, I was trying to write a script in PHP that takes a program name as an argument and invoke it as a daemon. PHP provides fork(pcntl_fork), setsid(posix_setsid) and umask, so it was easy. However, I couldn't find a way to redirect STDERR a file. I like to have the daemon write its log to its own logfile, like apache and mysql do. So is there any way to accomplish that? Any pointers, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I find some of the bits really slow, but solid, others perform well. My biggest gripe with ZF components is that the Exception handler Zend_Exception, is sometimes tricky to override with the native Chisimba customException handler (which produces pretty output as opposed to an ugly call stack, and logs the ugly things (user wise) to a log file). Sometimes it takes a few more minutes of time. Basically, I would say evaluate each component on its own merit. If you would like to use one, check the code and run some performance tests on it - sometimes you will be able to roll your own in less time and with simpler code. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
