pazazuzu Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hello, I have been having problems with some code I am writing and have not been able to figure out what I am doing wrong, even after some debugging. I have a textbox that users can input any letters into, that should should search the item field boxes and highlight any matching strings. If a matching search is made, then the item box should remain yellow, and the other item boxes should be white. It does not have to be a perfect match. Any letter that matches, such as the letter '"j" in the word "juice" should be enough to make the item field box, highlight yellow. I am including my code but have not been able to figure out how to use this code: str_ireplace($targetstring, '<span style="background-color:#ff0000;">' . $targetstring . '</span>', $item_value); (I must be doing something wrong) Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. <html> <head> <title>testcode</title> </head> <body> <body style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;"> <h1>Test</h1> <form method=post> <br><b>Sort order for items:</b> <br> <br> <?php $sort_order = trim($_POST['sort_order']); $targetstring = trim($_POST['targetstring']); if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) //The following code is intended to retain the choice of the radio button chosen by the user $sort_order = $_POST['sort_order']; switch($sort_order) { case 'desc' : print "Ascending <input type=radio name=sort_order value=asc> "; print "Descending <input type=radio name=sort_order value=desc checked> "; break; default : print "Ascending <input type=radio name=sort_order value=asc checked> "; print "Descending <input type=radio name=sort_order value=desc> "; break; } $sort_line = array(); //Declare an empty array for ($row = 1; $row <5 ; $row++) // creates rows that are less than 5 { $item_name='item'.$row; // assign values $item_value=$_POST[$item_name]; // assign values $amount_name='amount'.$row; // assign values $amount_value=$_POST[$amount_name]; // assign values $myelement = "$item_value*$amount_value*"; array_push($sort_line, $myelement); //Adds $myelement to the end of the $sort_line array } if ($sort_order == 'desc') { rsort($sort_line); //Sorts array in place } else { sort($sort_line); //Sorts array in place } ?> <br /> <br /> <br><b>Find Items that Contain:</b> <input type=text name=targetstring size=20> <br> <br> <table> <tr> <th>Item</th><th>Amount</th> </tr> <?php $err_cnt = 0; $total_amt = 0; $read_ctr = 1; for ($row = 1; $row <5 ; $row++) // creates rows that are less than 5 { $item_name='item'.$row; // assign values $array_counter = $row - 1; //To make sure to get element 0 in the array $amount_name='amount'.$row; // assign values $array_counter = $row - 1; //To make sure to get element 0 in the array list($item_value_from_array, $amount_value_from_array) = explode('*',$sort_line[$array_counter]); str_ireplace($targetstring, '<span style="background-color:#ff0000;">' . $targetstring .
