gamze · October 25, 2007

hi everybody,

Im new on php and i realy need help. i have to do 4 part and i done 1 part. Its about cd search. first part was display cds without comma and second part is, allow the user to enter a search term and web page will display the full details of all the cds containg the users search term included in part of any field.

so far i only have what the user types in to search it is then displayed... i need a code that will compare what is entered in to the items in the text file how do i write this??

Thanks

php code

#!/usr/bin/php
<html>
<head>
<title> CDs Search </title>
<body>
<?

#cdlist.php
#read cds text file outputs it to screen

$filename = "cds.txt";
$filepointer = fopen($filename,"r");  // open for read
$myarray = file ($filename);

if(isset($_POST['names'])){

   $fname=$_POST['names'];
   print "$fname <br>";
}

for ($mycount = 0; $mycount < count($myarray); $mycount++ )
    {                   // one input line at a time

      $aline =$myarray[$mycount];

      $details = $aline;
      $name = getvalue($details,0);
      print " $name ";
      $album =getvalue($details,1);
      print "$album";
      $year = getvalue($details,2);
      print "$year";
      $price= getvalue($details,3);
      print "$price";
      $stock = getvalue($details,4);
      print "$stock"."<br>";
    }
if ($fname==$name)
{
print"$name";
print"$album";
print"$year";
print"$price";
print"$stock";
}

   function getvalue ($file, $commaToLookFor)
{

$myarray= explode(",",$file);
return $myarray [ $commaToLookFor];
}



fclose ($filepointer);


//if (!($filepointer = fopen($filename,"r")))  { exit; }

Homework assignment?

gamze · October 25, 2007

yess cw:(

Barand · October 25, 2007

We don't do those. Wouldn't do you any favours in the long term.

gamze · October 26, 2007

i know you cant help cw or assigmnets. I only need 1 part of the code i done some code (i sended) and it seems right.

i just need to know what i am doing wrong because i cant get right result.

Barand · October 26, 2007

I don't see any code that tries to search for a value.

You might get a clue from this

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,165025.msg725781.html#msg725781

And to see if the $search string exists in the artist name or the album name

use http://us3.php.net/strpos

gamze · October 26, 2007

how do u find a word from a grounp text file?

Barand · October 26, 2007

Assuming you file is something like

[pre]

artist, album, year, price, stock

Amadeus String Quartet,Selection of Chamber Music,1975,6.50,10

London Symphony Orchestra,Serenade for Strings,1995,8.99,2

BBC Symphony Orchestra,Mozart Symphony 40,2002,6.99,8

[/pre]

search each line as you read it and output if the seach is successful

<?php
$filename = 'cd.txt';
$search = 'String' ;

$fp = fopen ($filename, 'r');

echo '<table border="1">';

while (list($artist, $album, $year, $price, $stock) = fgetcsv($fp, 1024))
{
    if (strpos($artist, $search)!== false || strpos($album, $search)!== false)
    {
        echo "<tr><td>$artist</td><td>$album</td><td>$year</td><td>$price</td><td>$stock</td></tr>";
    }
}
echo '</table>'
?>

-->

[pre]

Amadeus String Quartet | Selection of Chamber Music | 1975 | 6.50 | 10

London Symphony Orchestra | Serenade for Strings | 1995 | 8.99 | 2

[/pre]

$name=$fname |$album=$fname | $year=$fname 
| $price=$fprice | $stock=$fname)
{
      $display=$array;
      print $display;}
?>

gamze · October 27, 2007

darkfreaks · October 27, 2007

<?php
if
(in_array(array($name,$album,$year,$price,$stock),$array,true)| 
$name=$fname |$album=$fname | $year=$fname 
| $price=$fprice | $stock=$fname)
{

      print $array;


}else{ echo "Error: could not return the array";}

darkfreaks · October 27, 2007

what did u want then?

<?php
if
(in_array(($name,$album,$year,$price,$stock),$array,true)| 
$name=$fname |$album=$fname | $year=$fname 
| $price=$fprice | $stock=$fname)
{

      print $array;


}else{ echo "Error: could not return the array";}
?>

gamze · October 27, 2007

Sorry i think u dont understand what i mean.

If you read begging of the this topic there is my question and there is my html form. This html form include a box and button u need to enter any cd detail and it will give all detail.

like if you enter: Jennifer lopez (artist name)

it will give you: Jennifer Lopez Brave 2001 £4.99 52

but when you enter: Brave (album) or (price),(stock),(year)

it doesnt give me any thing.

darkfreaks · October 27, 2007

<?php
if
(in_array(($name,$album,$year,$price,$stock),$array,true)| 
$name=$fname |$album=$fname | $year=$fname 
| $price=$fprice | $stock=$fname)
{

    unset ($array);
print "Name:$array[$name]";
print "Album:$array[$album]";
print "Year:$array[$year]";
print "Price:$array[$price]";
print "In Stock:$array[$stock]";




}else{ echo "Error: could not return the array";}
?>

gamze · October 27, 2007

No, i doesnt work

anyway thanks for your help i will try myself.

thank you very much again

darkfreaks · October 27, 2007

i was thinking if that one if statement searching for everything then you can do the same thing only less and statements

like

<?php
if
(in_array(array($name,$album,$year,$price,$stock),$array) 
|$album=$fname | $year=$fname 
| $price=$fprice | $stock=$fname)
{
      $display=$array;
      print $display;}
?>

and keep messing with the and's |'s until you have several if statements like this that search for specific things.

marcus · October 27, 2007

darkfreaks you've got a mess there.

| should be || to specify you're wanting to use the PHP Operator "OR"

= should be == to specify you're wanting to use the PHP Operator "is equal to"

$yourArray = array($name, $album, $year, $price, $stock);

if(in_array($yourArray,$array) || $album == $fname || $year == $fname || $price == $fprice || $stock == $fname){

$display[] = $array;
   foreach($display AS $displays){
   echo $displays . "<br>\n";
   }
}
