Re: [PHP] Was: Putting Evaluated Contents...
Hey,
Now, how about taking that variable and executing it? How might one do this?
For instance:
I might have an asp page on one server(Yeah, I have to use asp on that
server) generate the results in the form of a bit of php code, and pass it
to my php script via include method for execution. When the php page gets
the results I could execute this? Would I have to put the ob_start()...
ob_get_clean(); within a function? How would I execute it?
I am thinking of this way as my php pages use a templating system, and I
would like to take the data from the asp results and shoot them into my
template object for rendering.
just expanding off the conversation.

[PHP] Problems including a url with query string variables
I am having a difficulty including a url and passing it to an include
statement between it. The problem is when I have a plain url it works, but
if I try to pass it something to the query string it does not. Is there some
way to format the string differently before including it?
ob_start();
...
$result = ob_get_clean();
The below example works:
--
$URL = "http:/-.-.-.-/datachange.asp";
ob_start();
include("$URL");
$message = ob_get_clean();
The below example does not work:
--
$URL = "http:/-.-.-.-/datachange.asp$queryString";
ob_start();
include("$URL");
$message = ob_get_clean();

Yes it includes a "?".
I am thinking it might be a problem with the order of processing. Includes
first , then everything else
Is there any way to include a file only after a conditional?

[PHP] sorting arrays
Say I place the results of a set of database queries -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] sorting arrays
Say I create a "matches" array from a set of SQL queries With each query,
an entry is added to my matches array. If the name already exists, its value
gets incremented. How can I sort the array based on the highest number of
hits?
What is the sort method? Say this is the array:
array('lma-bg51' => 1, 'mcr-vh14' => 2, 'gmc-rr21' => 5, 'amh-fg23' => 1)

Re: [PHP] Re: sorting arrays
> RTFM
> arsort()
Ok, so I use asort(), and I don't get the result I wanted. Instead I get the
script telling me my foreach loop is wrong on the second test round, as if
it did something other than simply sort the array. It seems that I can't
access the array now?
$nar = array('lma-bg51' => 1, 'mcr-vh14' => 2, 'gmc-rr21' => 5, 'amh-fg23'
=> 1);
foreach( $nar AS $key => $val ) {
echo "$key: $val";
}
$nar = asort($nar);
foreach( $nar2 AS $key => $val ) {
echo "$key: $val";
}

Re: [PHP] sorting arrays
Right! That fixed it. I was doing it like this:
$nar = asort($nar);
which gave me a boolean result
When I should have done it like this:
asort($nar) ;
reset($nar);
I didn't understand the return of an asort was boolean and not the processed
array itself.
Thanks,
-Brian

[PHP] searching and sorting
I am new(relatively) to php programing and searching. I am trying to understand the best way to access data and deliver results to searches on a product catalog website. I have two kinds of data that I am sorting and displaying results for. The first is info about specific products, and the other is text based general information, notes, and specials that will be stored in a database as well. My question is what is the best way to format and sort all of this info before results delivery. I am thinking of incrementally adding the resultant hits into two associative arrays with the link to the data and a calculated relevance value, and sorting this array by these relevences. One array would be for text data links and another would be for catalog item links. If I have two arrays(sorted), than I could display them like Amazon.com does with products in the main display area(with pictures), and text links to the side. Am I thinking of an efficient way to go about this, or not? I wonder if anyone has more experience, or some suggested resources in understanding building good search building? I would like to find such a book or resource that maps out good search and results procedures. -Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Why not? I have arount 1000 products and many searches bring up more than a few pages worth of data. I would think that it might be good to present the links to test files along the side.

Right now the people visiting my website are complaining that when they search for "sports cars" for instance, that they get many sports items sorted first before they even get to see the "sports cars". I realize that this is a separate issue, but it illustrates that even though my search is working, it could be improved. I look forward to figuring out how to do it better. Regardless, my data sets may not always be limited to 1000 products (not to mention the text pages). > One Axiom: Keep as much of the scoring/sorting in your SQL as possible -- > That's what SQL engines are best at. I agree. That is a wise statement, and I have tried to do this with regular expressions but this doesn't deal with relevance at all, or is there something that I am missing? I suppose I could do multiple searches on my data to look for "sports cars" first, "cars" second, and "sports" last. Then I could deal with the separate issue of the text files. -Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
