RE: [PHP-DB] auto_increment problem???
Miles: Thanks for your input. I'm running MySQL 3.23.49-nt-log on php4.2.1. and the table in question is of type: MyISAM. I noticed that, upon returning to work Monday (today) I deleted * from the table and the auto_increment column reverted back to starting from one again. However, today I'm deleting * from the same table and the auto_increment numbers start where the last [now deleted] entry left off. I assume then that this table type has some relation or other to a database connection. By this I mean if the DB connection times out or otherwise quits, the auto_increment column assumes to re-use keys and start again from one?? So is there then a PHP-MySQL function that can be used right after a Query that explicitly tells MySQL to close such a connection so that columns of type: INT - auto_increment will *always* start from 1 if the table contains no records (table is empty)?? Thanks a lot for your help. :-) -Original Message- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2002 12:12 AM To: Russ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Ross Gerring Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] auto_increment problem??? Russ, Check your docs to confirm this, as you are probably running a later version than I'm familiar with. If the table is defined as type "MyISAM" the autoincrement numbers do not get reused, they steadily increase. You can rely on them. The default table type is ISAM, and the autoincrement numbers do get reused. How did I discover this? Same way you did, disappearing keys and very strange results on selects. Fortunately I discovered the difference before I had too much data, but it had me going for a while.

Re: [PHP-DB] full text search and how to underline keyword in results
The first argument passed to eregi_replace is " ".$keywords[$i]." " You are concatenating the string and a space on the end and front. This was obviously used as a hack to make sure only full words were highlighted. A fix for this? A simple hack would be to take out the spaces, so it is simply $keywords[$i], although you could figure out a proper regex if you don't want partial words higlighted.

Re: [PHP-DB] full text search and how to underline keyword in results
andy,
I find the PCRE regex option easier to work with. Herewith a solution which
takes care of case (without changing the original text), and without regard
to spaces or other characters (including the first and last characters of
the string - which you didn't mention/identify as potential problems
earlier!).
You will observe the 'manufactured' the text string and that the found
'needles' are post-processed only by surrounding them with ampersands
instead of your font tags - to prove that the regex works. Trust it suits.
$RegExIn = "Singapore singapore singapore. Singapore. singapore";
$RegExPattern = "|(singapore)|i";
echo "Replaced:" . preg_replace( $RegExPattern, "&$0&", $RegExIn ) .
"~";

=dn

Hello Stuart,
great, thats a first success and works fast.
There are just 2 things which fail on this function:
1. Problems with full stops. A word with a full stop will be ignored (e.g
singapore. will not be found if you search for singapore)
2. If you search for singapore and there is a hit Singapore (notice the
capital!) will be replaced with singapore in the text.
I tryed to fix that, but I fear that my php experiance lacks on this stage
:-(
Maybe someone else or you do have a idea for a fix?

[PHP-DB] Fwd: OS X 10.2 and MySQL 3.23.51 Failures
Hello again, Persistance pays off. Remember I'm pretty new at this, so be patient and kind please. I uninstalled the builds for MySQL, and PHP from Marc's versions. I reinstalled Marc's version from his website. Everything started working again. Marc's builds did work. Not sure about ServerLogics yet. Sure their's works as well. Have a feeling that I missed something. One thing I have noticed to help other inexperienced folks is that with OS X 10.2 you need to make positively sure of your paths now. If you are at /usr/local/mysql and type mysqladmin or mysql, you'll get the "command not found" error. Marc does show how to fix this using the setenv command. Still not sure what caused the errors below, but working. Will leave that to the pros. Probably just a flaw in how I installed before. :) Begin forwarded message: > From: Allens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sun Aug 25, 2002 11:19:06 AM US/Eastern > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: OS X 10.2 and MySQL 3.23.51 Failures > > Hello, > I did a clean install of OS X 10.2 and clean installs of PHP, MYSQL. > Tried both Marc Liynage and ServerLogics builds.

Ray, it looks like you've done some great work so far. This one point that you are struggling with may not be as difficult as you are imagining as well. When a potential customer is searching for availability, they are going to have to select a start date and an end date for the period they are looking to book. Then, you just take those two dates, and compare them against the previous bookings for the same villa... (if you do it in one step, you can tell them "those dates are not available" - if you perform it in two steps, you can give the customer more information about whether the start date, or the end date (or both) were the source of the conflict. ) i.e. if they want to book the Healy on 4/10 - 4/20, it could tell them that it is not available until 4-15... instead of telling them that the dates "just won't work" - does that make sense? So, using your example, the Healy is booked from 4/1 - 4/15... When a customer runs a query to find availability, they will select a start_date of 4/10 and an end date of 4/20 (hehe, I just said 420...) [one step method] (of course convert the requested $start_date and $end_date into -MM-DD format) '$start_date') OR (booking_start < '$end_date' AND booking_end > '$end_date')) AND villa_id = '$requested_villa_id'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); $is_it_booked = mysql_fetch_object($query); print "number of reservations during this date = ".$is_it_booked->how_many_booked; ?> This checks if the start date is between the booked dates OR the end date is between the booked dates If rows are returned, then the dates are not available.

[PHP-DB] New to PHP & mySQL
Hi all (details of database at then end of this message) I hope someone can give me some advice. I am trying to create a database and access via PHP for a friend of mine that has a caravan park. What I want him to be able to do is to add bookings for the caravans via a PHP page and for clients to be able to search to see if a caravan is available for rent. I have created 2 tables and have put data into it via command prompt and also retrieved the data from it and carried out a join linking the 2 tables together. Which all seems to work well. The one thing I cannot get into my head is how can you tell the database that all the days between the "start" and "end" dates are booked. Also when people search for a caravan on a specific date and say they want it for 7 day the database/PHP checks to see if the entire period is totally free for them and does not colide with another booking. I am not sure whether I should be in list list of the PHP list so sorry if I have got it wrong. Any advice or places to visit would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] full text search and how to underline keyword in results
Hi Andy,
In answer to part two - here's a snippet of code I use to highlight relevant
words in red - hope it helps to put you on the right track.
for ($i=0; $i < count($keywords); $i++) {
$blurb = eregi_replace(" ".$keywords[$i]." ", " ".$keywords[$i]." ", $blurb);
}
where $keywords is an array containing all the words searched for and $blurb
is the snippet that is returned with the search results At this stage in the
flow, I've already retrieved relevant records - this is in fact the last
step before I format and display the results..
Hope this helps
stuart

[PHP-DB] full text search and how to underline keyword in results
Hi there, I am trying to write a php script to perform a full text search on a mysql db. I do a match against... and it digs out some results out of the db. There are 2 problems: 1. How can I restrict the results to e.g. 100 characters, but to make sure the keyword is within this 100 characters? 2. Is it possible with php to underline the keyword inside the search results. This might be more tricky. Thank you for any help on that, Andy -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] db questions and newbie...
Matt,
I've put this back on the list because other people are smarter than me/can
reply more quickly! (and I hate people who pretend to have 'the answer' when
they're plainly out of their depth/range of experience - so...)
I don't think that I've managed to completely understand where you are
heading with this. Possibly because we have different (programming language)
backgrounds/application histories. I don't understand why if $varsused is
already a list with comma separators that you want to use the "|" instead,
when CSV is so widely used/understood/available. Explode/Implode work to
communicate between a string and an array. Perhaps string replacement
functions or regular expressions would meet your needs more appropriately?
The (annotated) online manual has a number of examples and all manner of
ideas in the user contributed comments. The manual's definition section also
suggests looking at other 'similar' commands, eg the explode page offers
"See also preg_split(), spliti(), split(), and implode()." I recommend that
you work your way through the string and filesystem function
chapters/appendices of the manual to see what catches your attention/strikes
a chord with your preferences/history/intentions. When working with a 'new'
language it is usually a mistake to try to make it work the way your 'old'
one did - also expect your ratio of reading references to writing code to
change markedly!
