Im trying to make 3 columns, 1 whichs displays names, the 2nd which displays emails, and the 3rd which holds the delete links. I've got the data displaying fine, my second column the emails is editable (each value is contained in a field), so when i edit it i can click submit and it gets updated. The problem is im trying to add that also to the first column so i can edit the names.

Anyone can help? ^^

Im trying to make the name column editable/updatable like the email column, but can get my head around it. Heres the code: <?php /**** Dealing with the database ****/ // connect to db $conn = mysql_connect('localhost','username','password') or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $db = mysql_select_db('databasename',$conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); // INSERT: if we have a email to add... if($_POST['email']) { // little bit of cleaning... $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); // insert new email into table $sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (name, email) VALUES ('','$email')"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); } // end if // UPDATE: if we have email(s) to change... if($_POST['cemail']) { // for each email to change... foreach($_POST['cemail'] as $cname => $cemail) { // little bit of cleaning... $name = mysql_real_escape_string($cname); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($cemail); // update email in the table $sql = "UPDATE mytable SET email = '$email' WHERE name = '$name'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); } // end foreach } // end if // DELETE: if we have a email to delete... if($_GET['email']) { // little bit of cleaning... $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['email']); // delete email from table $sql = "DELETE FROM mytable WHERE email = '$email'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); } // end if // ORDERBY: if one of the links was clicked.. if ($_GET['orderby']) { // make an aray of allowed emails $allowed = array('name','email'); // bit of cleaning... $order = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['orderby']); // is it a valname column email? yes: use it. no: default to 'name' $order = (in_array($order, $allowed))? $order : "name"; // if no link clicked, default to 'name' } else { $order = "name"; } // end else // SELECT: get the list of emails from database $sql = "SELECT name, email FROM mytable ORDER BY $order"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error()); /**** end deal with the database ****/ /**** list everything out ****/ // list columns echo <<<LISTCOLS <form action = '{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}' method = 'post'> <table border = '1'> <tr> <td><a href = '{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?orderby=name'>name</td> <td><a href = '{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?orderby=email'>email</td> <td>Delete</td> </tr> LISTCOLS; // loop through list of emails while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo <<<LISTmytable <tr> <td>{$list['name']}</td> <td><input type = 'text' email = 'cemail[{$list['name']}]' value = '{$list['email']}'> <td><a href = '{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?email={$list['email']}'>Delete</a></td> </tr> LISTmytable; } // end while // list input box for adding new entry echo <<<NEWENTRY <tr> <td bgcolor = 'gray'></td> <td><input type = 'text' email = 'email'></td> <td bgcolor = 'gray'></td> </tr><tr> <td></td> <td align = 'center'><input type = 'submit' value = 'Submit'></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </form> NEWENTRY; /**** end list everything out ****/ ?>

it looks like regex, unfourtanetly i dont know regex (regular expressions). Try the regex forum

The problem is that, include.php, im including on every page, but don't want the code to excute on every page except the 1 I want, which is why I placed the code within a variable, so i can eval($content); on the page I'd like it to be executed. If I don't place the code within the variable, it will execute on every page which is include it on. If you wondering why iim including it on every page its because, im also adding other configuration in that file. I don't want to be including alot of files. Looks like it won't work with a variable, so it their another way of sustaining the code? to only executing when i call it?.

Ok thanks, can you give me an example of the variable code? and a example for how I'd display the code on the other page? So I can follow and learn

Maybe theirs an alternative way of placing the code within a variable?

$main is my content for another file, the reason I have not placed $main without a variable is because it would intefer with other included files and cause further problems, i only need $main to be displayed on that page only which is why I taught of placing it within a variable and echoing it. If your wondering whats in $main, then its modified code from the yahoo api. (for my search script),

Im incuding a file which contains a variable which contains php code '<?php blah blah if ?>'; I've included it, and echo'd the contents of the variable but i keep getting errors: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in The php code within the variable works fine, when its not in a variable, so I don't know why it reacts this way.

great you solved it!

This is what I've come up with: <form method="get" action="search.php"> <input name="search" type="text" class="input-box" />//Whatever is searched here is logged <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Search" /> </form> <?php $thefile = "name.txt"; $towrite = $_POST["search"]; $openedfile = fopen($thefile, "w"); fwrite($openedfile, $towrite); fclose($openedfile); ?> I still dont know how to echo the contents of name.txt as a tag cloud.

Im trying to log all searches to a txt, and then echo 10 random searches by fetching the words from the .txt The issue is i find it harder, since my search engine is not using a database its just using the yahoo api. Heres the search form: <form method="get" action="search.php"> <input name="search" type="text" class="input-box" />//Whatever is searched here is logged <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Search" /> </form>

So? $result['items'] = array(); count($result['items']);

Danny mentioned to get the total, divide the number of items per page by the number of items in total The following snippet, is for when the items/results get parsed: // Parse ITEMS preg_match_all("'<item(| .*?)>(.*?)</item>'si", $rss_content, $items); $rss_items = $items[2]; $i = 0; $result['items'] = array(); // create array even if there are no items foreach($rss_items as $rss_item) { // If number of items is lower then limit: Parse one item if ($i < $this->items_limit || $this->items_limit == 0) { foreach($this->itemtags as $itemtag) { $temp = $this->my_preg_match("'<$itemtag.*?>(.*?)</$itemtag>'si", $rss_item); if ($temp != '') $result['items'][$i][$itemtag] = $temp; // Set only if not empty } // Strip HTML tags and other bullshit from DESCRIPTION if ($this->stripHTML && $result['items'][$i]['description']) $result['items'][$i]['description'] = strip_tags($this->unhtmlentities(strip_tags($result['items'][$i]['description']))); // Strip HTML tags and other bullshit from TITLE if ($this->stripHTML && $result['items'][$i]['title']) $result['items'][$i]['title'] = strip_tags($this->unhtmlentities(strip_tags($result['items'][$i]['title']))); // If date_format is specified and pubDate is valid if ($this->date_format != '' && ($timestamp = strtotime($result['items'][$i]['pubDate'])) !==-1) { // convert pubDate to specified date format $result['items'][$i]['pubDate'] = date($this->date_format, $timestamp); } // Item counter $i++; } } $result['items_count'] = $i; return $result; } So the trouble is trying to get the total, because their is no default total or a way of getting a number, is their some way i can define the total from the above snippet? so i can get the pagination to work.

Thanks, but it goes to 100, some searches only need to 2 pages, not all have 100 pages, the ones that dont have 100 pages just loop continuously until they get to 100.

Im trying to get 10 items per page. Im counting the items by $i++;. So 10 divided by $i++ then ciel?

Now I'll guess what you're supposed to do in order to figure out how many pages there are. Mind sharing how you'd do it, so I can learn from it and mind telling me whats the book called?

Yes, I did, it worked great, but I can't figure out how I'd identify how many pages their is, since the data is coming externally from yahoo, and not a database. Theirfore each search result has a different number of pages. If you could point me to the right direction I'd really apreciate it. If you save the above code as search.php and then access it you'll see the how it looks.

Anyone, can help please

Can someone help me also? Im having a similar issue http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,266195.msg1255515.html#msg1255515 ٩(●̮̮̃•̃)۶

PHP with cURL would do

@ AngelicS Thanks, that works great, but it can't determine the Last. It carries on and on, even though the search results dont have that many pages (they just repeat the same page) And a minor change: replace: ?page= with: search.php?search=$search&page=
