[PHP] PHP Search Engine?
Hello, I've picked up a book called the PHP Developer's Cookbook, specifically for the search engine that was featured in it. It required the use of PEAR's File/Find.php, which my host hasn't installed, ..and very likely will not. Is there another way of coming up with a search engine in PHP that doesn't require the use of subscription services? Laurie M.

RE: [PHP] PHP Search Engine?
I don't think my server even has PEAR installed, so even if I just put the script on my own directory, it still needs the PEAR.php - will I need to do that too? > -Original Message- > From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 1:56 PM > To: lmlweb > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Search Engine? > > > So just put that file in your own directory and use it from > there.

RE: [PHP] PHP Search Engine?
My correction - there is a Pear, and it was just a matter of finding the location (/root/php-4.1.2/pear/File/Find.php) - so I tried to use the full path - owrked, but then the Find.php required the PEAR.php, which was one level. So what I've done so far is to put the Find.php in my directory, and then make the path to the PEAR.php in the Find.php. I don't know if this will work for the search application from the PHP Dev's Cookbook but so far it seem to be working this way. > -Original Message----- > From: lmlweb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > I don't think my server even has PEAR installed, so even if I > just put the script on my own directory, it still needs the > PEAR.php - will I need to do that too? > > > -Original Message- > > From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 1:56 PM > > Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Search Engine? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PEAR installation correct?
How do I know if my web hosting server installed PEAR correctly?
I'm trying to create a Search Engine from the PHP Developer's Cookbook,
and so far, here's what I know:
PHP has the PEAR installed ('--with-pear' according phpinfo.php)
And having telnetted into my server, was able to find the PEAR location
at
/usr/local/bin/, where it is simply called "pear".
In the Find.php file, I set it so that it calls a require_once
'/usr/local/bin/pear';
Originally it was pear.php, but it didn't find it, so I set it as shown
above.
Now, if I run the file, I get this message:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -Cq
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='') in
/usr/local/bin/pear on line 45
How do I know if PEAR is installed correctly? (The web hosting hasn't
installed Pear before until I requested it)

[PHP] php form mail - what am I doing wrong?
I'm suffering eye fatique, and after reading the code for the maybe
millionth of time, I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in this
one.
Ideally, you get to this registration form by clicking on a link in a
previous page, so the registration form automatically enters in the event
name. The registrant then fills in the information.
When you click on submit, you should be getting the "thank you" screen, but
instead, it's being redirected back to the previous page, the events
listings page.
I'm sure I'm missing something but I cant figure out what it is.

[PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?
For example, on a page, I have this link: http://www.website.com/register.html?select=$title";>$title where $title is whatever the database spits up on a previous query. Now I want to be able to carry that $title onto the next page, which is a form mail for registering for the events, without having to use database. Basically I want to be able to set the form up so it says: To register for $title, please fill out the form: who: what: _ where: _ [submit] [reset] and when it's submitted the mail() function will have an subject heading that consits of "$title Registration" is that possible? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?
Hi,
I went ahead and tried it - it works beautifully, where the title does show
up perfectly when you arrive at the form.
I filled out the form both to test the actual email body and the resulting
html page once you've filled out the form and submitted.
The $title variable does not show up in either the email body nor in the
resulting page (the thank you for filling out this form page).
While I can make the resulting page very generic by not adding the $title
anywhere there, but the email body must contain the $title variable. I'm
thinking maybe I should be adding the hidden form field for the $title?
Here's the mail code:
mail("$recipientname <$final_recipient>","$form[subject]","$form[first_name]
$form[last_name] ($form[email]) send the following message to $recipientname
($final_recipient) : \n\n $form[message]\n\n Name: $form[first_name]
$form[last_name] \n Event: $event \n Address: $form[address] \n

Re: [PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?
No, not quite there yet - I've done the following and it still doesnt' show
up.
Here's what I have in my hidden input:
and modified the Mail form:
$event = addslashes($event); // to escape any funky stuff
mail("$recipientname <$final_recipient>","$form[subject]","$form[first_name]
$form[last_name] ($form[email]) send the following message to $recipientname

[PHP] Mail function acting a bit differently
I got an email someone submitted through my web form. I've been using this
form for a while, and it had always worked. It still works, but something
new has popped up.
If someone writes, "I'm available to meet with you anytime. We'll talk about
our project."
It appears as: I\'m available to meet with you anytime. We\'ll talk about
our project.
The mail() function as shown:
mail("$recipientname <$final_recipient>","$form[subject]","$form[first_name]
$form[last_name] ($form[email]) send the following message to $recipientname
($final_recipient) : \n\n $form[message]\n\n Name: $form[first_name]
$form[last_name] \n Email: $form[email] \n Subject: $form[subject] \n",
"From: $form[first_name] $form[last_name] <$form[email]>\nReply-To:
$form[first_name] $form[last_name] <$form[email]>\nContent-type:
text/plain\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
Only a week or so ago, I've switched server machines from the one that had
version 4.0.4pl1 (my old server) over to a new server that has version
4.1.2.
The other differences I can see from these two is that the 4.1.2 version
has magic_quotes_gpc on, where the other one didn't.
How would I set this up so that the comments posted in my forms doesn't get
addslashed? I tried adding the stripslashes, but what happened was I get an
email with no data in it.

[PHP] array limits in echo function?

[PHP] Understanding If conditional statements
I'm trying to get my code to print out a "sorry - no results" message if
there is no match. I've read the If statement in the PHP manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/ro/control-structures.php#control-structures.if)
and
I think my code structure may be wrong.. am I wrong to nest it this way in
the following code? If so, where should I be putting the " if $sql returns 0
records, then print.." code?
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
if ($sql_result = 0) {
$option_block .= "Sorry, your search has resulted in 0 records. Please try
again. \n";
}
else {
$advocateID = $row["advocateID"];
$esc_fname = $row["FNAME"];
$esc_lname = $row["LNAME"];
$esc_firm = $row["FIRM"];
$esc_city = $row["CITY"];
$esc_province = $row["PROVINCE"];
$esc_area = $row["AREA"];
// strips out special characters before output.
$fname = stripslashes($esc_fname);
$lname = stripslashes($esc_lname);
$firm = stripslashes($esc_firm);
$city = stripslashes($esc_city);
$province = stripslashes($esc_province);
$area = stripslashes($esc_area);
$option_block .= "Name: $fname
$lnameFirm/Organization: $firmLocation: $city,
$provinceSpecialty: $area \n";
}
}

[PHP] Re: Understanding If conditional statements
Hi,
I've rewritten the code to:
// Sends the Query
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$sql_result) {
echo "Can't execute $sql " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($sql_result) == 0) {
$option_block .= "Sorry, your search has resulted in 0 records. Please try
again. \n";
}
// organizes data in an orderly manner (ie bulleted area)
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$advocateID = $row["advocateID"];
$esc_fname = $row["FNAME"];
$esc_lname = $row["LNAME"];
$esc_firm = $row["FIRM"];
$esc_city = $row["CITY"];
$esc_province = $row["PROVINCE"];
$esc_area = $row["AREA"];
and it works beautifully! Thanks for pointing me to the clue!
