Hi, Is there any way to access a Microsoft Access Database through a HTML browser? I.E. I have a database and want to search and edit records through Internet Explorer without PHP/Javascript etc. Is this possible with HTML? Thanks, Point.

Thanks, that's fantastic Point.

Ok thanks, this works fine: I've split the string successfully. Now if the string was made up of ASCII characters (eg 66 67 68 69), how do I get the system to convert these into normal character values (eg B C D E)? Thanks P86.

Hi, I have a string, retrived via $file = $_GET['filename']; Now, how to I create a condition (preferably a loop) that says 1. read through the string, letter by letter 2. if (letter in question = "X") {do Y} else {do X} Thanks P86

Hi, I have a string, "$string1" the contents of which is, say, "ARTWISKXJAMAKFPXIO" Now I need a loop that reads through the string, and after every two characters, makes a space. Thus, the resultant output will be $string1afterwards = "AR TW IS KX JA MA KF PX IO" Any ideas? Thanks P86.

That's great, cheers. Point.

Hi, If I have read in a file, which I then convert into a string (say "string1"), how do I make a loop that goes through the string, makes all the letters capitals and writes all the LETTERS (not spaces, periods etc) into a new string ("string2")? Thanks Point.

Worked great, thanks! P86.

Hi, I have a string: $query = $_GET['words']; Where words are terms inputted by the user. IE $query will be something like 'hello how are you'. How do I get the system to search the string 'hello how are you' for SPACES (" ") and assign the number of spaces to a variable? EG in the string 'hello how are you', the number of spaces would be 3, and this would be assigned to eg $spaces. Thanks P86.

Thanks very much; what do you mean by "value_here"? P86.

Hi. I have a system where the user types things into a few form boxes, and then the system does things accordingly. My problem is as follows. I have a checkbox, defined in index.php as: <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="" id="check1" onchange="checkcheck(this);"> var ischecked = false; function checkcheck(cbObj) { ischecked = cbObj.checked; } Now in my search.php file (the back-end of index.php), I want the system to do the following: 1. look to see if the index.php checkbox has been ticked by the user 2. if it isn't, just run the system as normal 3. if it is checked, do X instead. How do I do this? I am quite new to PHP so if you could explain things as clearly as possible it would be appreciated!! Thanks! P86

This is great. Now how would I apply this so I could use it in a seperate PHP script within the same directory? Thanks P86

Hello, Basically I have a HTML checkbox: <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="" id="check1"> How do I make it so that when the user checks the checkbox, a predefined variable (eg "var ischecked" is changed? Thanks P86.

That's great, thanks!! :D

The user won't ever enter a "." or a "*". I have the string bit sorted. I basically need a glorified "if" function in PHP that takes the string, reads through it and says; "Read through the string and do something (X). when you come to ".", do something different (Y) and when you come to "*", do something different (Z). ie. Do (X) if (you see a ".")   { do Y } if (you see a "*")   { do Z } Thanks, Point.

Hi, Sorry I should have been more specific. What I mean to say is that I want the code to do the following: The string is made up of words which are then highlighted in different colours (I've got the colour bit working). So, with the following string: terms = "string.string2*string3" It could be (for example) terms ="hello.there*great" I want the code to say to the system: For the first substring ("hello"), do X for that bit. When you get to the ".", this is the second bit, ("there"), so do Y for that bit, until you get to the "*" ("great"), this is the third part, so do Z for that bit. Hope that cleared things up! Many thanks, Point.

Hi, I have a large string which is made up of three concatanated smaller strings seperated by a full stop "." and a "*". $query = $_GET['string']; $query2 = $query.'.'.$_GET['string2']; $query3 = $query2.'*'.$_GET['string3']; $terms = split(" ", $query3); Thus, I have the string terms = "string.string2*string3." Now how do I write an "if" function that says; Read through the string and do X. When/if you get to a full stop, do Y. When /if you get to a *, do Z. Thanks, Point.

Hi, Im fairly new to javascript etc so please be patient! :D Im have a text file which I need to split into strings, and then enter these strings into an arrray. Thus, I have something like this: 1 hello 2 how are you 3 goodbye I want to split this into strings (with each line being a new string) and turn this into the following: a[0] = 'hello' a[1] = 'how are you' a[2] = 'goodbye' Once in the array, the numbers in the original text become unimportant. Now I know that this can be achieved with an arraylist and possibly a scanner(?). But I dont know the syntax to implement these constructs. Any help would be much appreciated! :D Thanks Point86.

Well I have two form boxes, in each of which a user can enter a keyword. My program then searches a text file for the search term and highlights it. Box 1 I have got working fine, using: var highlight = document.getElementById('highlightWords').value; But I dont know how to code the other box so it does the same thing as box 1, but using a different keyword; i.e. the user can select two keywords to use in the search. Hope this clears things up, Thanks Point.

Sorry, my mistake- just me getting confused! :) The point still stands. Thanks.

Hi, I am pretty new to javascript and would like some help please! Basically I have a form which searches through text for a keyword using: var highlight = document.getElementById('highlightWords').value; And then new Ajax.Updater ... '&highlight=' + highlight etc. I need to add another form box that does exactly the same thing, ie searches for a keyword, but for a different keyword than box one. I know this is pretty simple but like I said, Im new! Anyone any ideas? Thanks!
