[Embedded databases]

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,

[string split loop]

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

Thanks

[string split loop]

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

[[SOLVED] Retrieving letters from a string]

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

[String variable]

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

[checkbox variables]

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!

[Checkbox variables]

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

[Checkbox variables]

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

[[SOLVED] string "if" functions]

That's great, thanks!!

:D

[[SOLVED] string "if" functions]

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,

[[SOLVED] string "if" functions]

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,

[[SOLVED] string "if" functions]

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,

[Strings into an array]

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

[Simple string question]

[form issue]

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

Sorry, my mistake- just me getting confused! :)

The point still stands.

[form issue]

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!
