[PHP] SEARCH ?

[Abe Asghar]

Hi there,

I am implementing a search function on a site that we are working on.  We
have created a script that will search through the contents of a page and
looks for matches etc.  It works well but will get slow on a large site.

Does anybody know a tutorial or info on how to create an indexing system so
the search can just search the indexing page rather than all files on a
site.


Thanks

[PHP] search

[AJDIN BRANDIC]

Hi,

I have a simple text file search. I do not want users to search on words 
such as 'is', 'and', 'or','the',etc. or single letters or numbers.  Has 
anyone got a 
dictionary with all of these in so I could do a search through it before 
starting the main search?

Thanks,

Ajdin

[PHP] search

[AJDIN BRANDIC]

Hi all

I've got search facility (php-mysql) which is very simple. If i search 
for 'dog' it will find any records containing words 'dog' or 'dogs' or 
'dogowner' etc.  But if I search for 'dogs', words 'dog' and 'dogowner' 
will not be found.  This is a classic case so there must be a solution to 
it but I cannot find one.  I tried to do something like
if word is 'dogs' then I do the search,
then break word 'dogs' into an array and check if the last element is an
's'. If it is remove it, reconstrust the string,which will give 'dog', 
and do search for that too.
Then display results.  Well I connot find a way of breaking a string into 
an array. How do I break 'mynameis' into an array of 8 elements?
This has got loopholes but still it is better than what I have now.

Thanks 

Ajdin

[PHP] Search Page

[Georgie Casey]

I'm making a search page on my site where users enter certain criteria and I
ouput the results like many other webistes: By first telling how many
results were generated, then having dynamic pages to view, say, 10 results
at a time.

So first I have to SQL the database to get totalresults, then cancel that
query and query again with a "LIMIT" tag on the end to display the first 10
results. Is there a more efficient way of doing what I'm trying to do?

I coded it myself so its probably poor, design-wise. Am I going about it the
right way?

[PHP] search parse?

[Lazor, Ed]

Does anyone have a good function for parsing a search string into SQL?  I
know it will depend on the name of the field and table I'm searching
through.  Anything close will be helpful.  An example search string would
be:

beer AND pizza NOT anchovies

and the resulting search string would be

select ID, Title from Products where Title like '%beer%' AND Title like
'%pizza%' AND Title NOT LIKE '%anchovies%';


Another example search string would be:

beer OR pizza AND movies

Thanks! =)

RE: [PHP] search

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

it's such a complex question and answer that i really think
you need to ponder some more fundamental design concepts
before you ask for advice on actually coding the thing...

such as what type of database layout fits the type of
information you will be storing/searching/retrieving,
how you want to categorize the information in your
database, how the interface will look and operate
(do you want to allow boolean expressions, or just
search for any occurence of any word in the search field)

to get a very simple searcher thing working, it's not very
hard (ive done it in perl/MySQL for a site that had about 20
static HTML pages and some news stories in a database table)
and it took me about half a day

however, you have to know what you want to accomplish
beforehand or else you'll bang your head against the wall
quite often during development :)


if you're going for an exremely simple searcher with few features
and not too much flexibility, i'd reccomend creating a keyword
lookup table that simply relates keywords to the thing they
refer to (HTML page, PHP page, etc...)

the table might look a bit like this, if you had two pages and
a total of two keywords:
key| page
--|
"foo" | "firewall.html"
"bar" | "vpn.html"
"bar" | "firewall.html"

then, when people entered either "foo" or "bar" (or "foo bar")
into your search field, the resulting query would be a list of
pages that were associated with either (or both) of those keywords.

"foo" = "firewall.html"
"bar" = "vpn.html"
"foo bar" = "firewall.html" and "vpn.html"

If you want it to be good *and* if you want to write it youself, I'd

[PHP] search engine

[Augusto Cesar Castoldi]

I'd like to do a search engine on my homepage. I'll search a cell phone in 
mysql database.

I want to search this cell phone and list in HTML table.

This list of cell phones must have 30 lines and the cell phones that I
found (searched) must be in the middle of the list.

I want to show the cell phones before and after of the one I search
(found), order by cellphone.

How could I do that?

[PHP] Search Engines

[Geoff Caplan]

Steve,

You clearly know your stuff about search engines.

I was planning to use the header:

header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");

to ensure that pages are not cached in the client.

But reading your excellent contribution, I was wondering whether a
search bot would see this and decide not to index as the page was
about to expire.

Any advice much appreciated

Geoff Caplan

Re: [PHP] search

[Tom Carter]

Rather than trying to break it into an array, you can examine the rightmost
character as follows

$search="dogs";
if(substr($search,-1)=='s') $search=substr($search,0,-1);

This checks if the last character is an s and if it is then set search to
the same string but without the s.. note, does not handle multiple word
queries.. for this you would need to break the string into words (something
you would probably have to do anyway) and do this for each of those...

OK, thanks. I am already breaking input search string into an array using 
a ',' as the seperator.  Then I loop while there are elements in this new 
array and build the search query.

Thanks again!

Ajdin, you may want to take a look at mnoGoSearch, which is search engine
software with a C indexer, PHP front-end and ability to work with numerous
databases, including MySQL.  It's a great program, but even if it's not
suitable for what you're doing I suggest looking at the PHP code and
database structure.  mnoGoSearch has incorporated the ability to search for
related words by incorporating a dictionary file and a database table of
grammar rules so a search for one word can be made to find other forms of
that word.

FYI, to break a string into an array like you describe use strlen() to get
the length of the string, substr() to pull out the first N characters from
the string, then loop through and add each element to an array by adding as
follows (pseudocode):

for ( $i = strlen( $string ); $i >= 0; $i-- )
$array[] = substr( $string, 0, $i );

Actually strings are also arrays (at least in PHP4)...

Try this for example:

$s = 'dogs';

echo $s[strlen($s)-1];

[PHP] search engines

it is common now that search engines use xml respondses to affiliate requests for

and recieving of data.  how is is done?  the current project i have to parse a 
gigantic url with xml in it and send this.  but how do i get the info back and process 
it?  should i be using cURL? something else  sockets?(shiver)

[PHP] search highlighting

[Matt Williams]

Hi

I'm implementing a simple keyword search.
I want the results to be displayed with the keywords highlighted.
I am currently using this to highlight the keywords

str_replace($string,"$string",$field);

If I search for php, it will find PHP, PhP etc... but using the above only
php will will be highlighted, not PHP.
I've tried eregi_replace but I could only get that to change the case and
highlight that ie. PHP would become php.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to highlight the string
regardless of case but keep the case for the match.

TIA

[PHP] Search Engines

[Tom Carter]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience with registering sites on the major search
engines? I have a number of questions I hope to find help with (and please
do excuse that not all of them are directly PHP related)

-Do search engines treat .html and .php files differently in caching etc?

-I include a standard header on each page, and was originally going to put
into this standard all the various meta tags to describe the site, however
someone suggested to me that this counetd against you by some search
engineanyone have any knowledge on this?

-How is it best to create meta tags? does anyone know of php or other tools
or good guides?


Any other general advice more than appreciated!

I don't think PHP is really a very good language for a genuine www
search engine. (although it works very well on site-wide basis)
I'm sure more knowledgeable people than I can make some alternative
suggestions but I'm certain that PHP won't be the best tool for the job.

I would concur with what everyone else is saying. If you need a search
engine and you have system-level access on your machine, your best
bet is to set up either htdig or mnogosearch (open source search
engine packages) because they already have done the hard work of 
figuring out fuzzy matching and search ranking.

http://www.htdig.org/
http://mnogosearch.org/

Alternatively, if you are using a database you can use some tricky sql 
statements to search your records for the user's search query. Here's 
a good tutorial that should get you started on this route:

RE: [PHP] Search Engine

[J Smith]

PHP isn't totally bad for a search engine. Here's my story.

I was in a bit of a predicament when I first started work, because I had to 
develop a search engine for online video objects. My company is essentially 
a video re-purposing venture, where we take reams of analog, tape-based 
videos, encode them into something like MPEG or ASF or whatever, create 
clip indexes (i.e. a 30 minute clip is broken up into 10x 3-minute clips, 
with each clip described and categorized) and provide a search engine and 
interface to watch clips or videos on the web via a broadband connection. 

(An added bonus is that you can create your own "video" via personal 
playlists -- you can take 10 different clips from 10 different videos and 
run them together into one playlist, all online. In a few months, you'll be 
able to create your own clips if you don't like our predefined ones.)

Anyways, the search engine thing was my deal. I'm the only programmer 
(*period*) on our team, and I basically had to write a search engine, web 
site backend, admin interface and all that jazz for our app alone. I was 
hired March 6, 2001 or so, and I had until, oh, April 15, 2001 to do it. 
Plus there were a few conditions -- like, it should be portable and 
inexpensive.

PHP seemed like a good choice -- it was portable (Win32, *ix, whatever), it 
was cheap ($0) and it isn't too bad for rapid development.

So off I was. I did manage to finish the search engine and back end by 
April 15, but it was a mess. It wasn't exactly a stellar search engine, but 
more of a proof of concept, which was the whole point of the project -- to 
show that we could provide high quality streaming video through a browser 
with a relatively good interface.

After the proof-of-concept project, we started to get serious, and I 
dropped most of the code base and started again from scratch. 

Pretty much the entire search engine now is in PHP, with the sole 
exceptions being the keyword indexer (Perl, as PHP was a lot slower doing 
the indexing) and a few extensions to the PHP engine. 

The search engine itself is fairly fast -- it can do a keyword search on a 
collection of nearly 8,000 video objects in an average of 0.02 to 0.20 
seconds or so, depending on the complexity of the query. It's features 
include:


* "Boolean"-type searches. Okay, not really, as in you can't use AND, OR 
and NOT, but you can use +/- style prefixes like in mnoGoSearch and 
whatnot. Words are automatically OR'ed, +'d words are AND'ed and -'d words 
are NOT'ed.

* Decent search times. On a PIII 500 with 128 MB of RAM, it still averages 
less than 0.20 seconds for a collection of 8,000 video objects and over 
100,000 keywords.

* Filtering. We're mostly an education-based site, so you can filter by 
things like subject (Physics, Chemistry, etc.) and grades (Kindergarden, 
grade 10, college, etc.)

* Spellchecking and somewhat fuzzy searches. Spellchecks work okay, but the 
fuzzy searches is kind of lame. (Porter stemming.) I might shoehorn in 
something like Metaphone-type stuff eventually. 

* Search ranking. Yes, keywords are given weights, everything is ranked and 
all that jazz. You know, inverse document frequencies, collection 
distribution, all that stuff. In the end, video objects returned in a 
search are given a ranking of 1 to 4 based on how well they match your 
query. It's not terribly advanced, and could use some tuning, but it's 
surprising how well it works.

* XML-based. The search engine itself runs as it's own daemon on either 
it's own server or along side the web site, and just waits for connections 
via a UNIX domain socket or a TCP socket. When it receives a query, and 
sends back an XML document containing the search results. This is 
especially nice -- you can use it with anything for any purpose, not just a 
web site, i.e. you can build an native app for Windows and you can still 
use the search engine, and just format the results via an XSL or whatever.


There are a lot of other nifty features, like being able to do remote admin 
via telnet or whatever. But in the end, it's still just a decent search 
engine and definitely not Google or even htdig. It's very focused on our 
specific task, the searching of online educational videos, so something 
using something like htdig would have required a lot of hacking to get it 
to where we wanted it.

So the morale I guess is, sure, you can make a half-decent search engine 
out of PHP. Ours gets the job done. But remember, I only had, like, a scant 
few months to write one, plus a web-based app to go around it, and I was 
alone on this one. PHP was great for RAD, and the damn thing even works to 
boot. My search engine could handle a web site easily enough, maybe even a 
group of sites, but it would totally suck ass as a WWW indexer/spider-type 
search engine. 

So there ya go.

Re: [PHP] Search Engine

[LaserJetter]

If I wanted to do a search engine for the web (and maybe for just a site) I
would set up a MySQL database and have a record for each site which is
included in the index. There would be fields for URL, Page title, Keywords
and maybe description / text extract from the URL.
It would be quite a simple solution and I'm not sure about performance.
It would be quite easy to add /modify/delete records as well using this
method

[PHP] search results - details

[mm fernandez]

hi,

I'm working on a search results page. actually i have my search form and 
search results page working fine already. but i want to add something on the 
"results page". my search "results page" shows the following fields: 
lastname, firstname, middlename, yeargrad.
what i want is that the lastname results should be linked to a "more 
details" page. so for example, if i have a search result with 'garcia' as 
the lastname..i click on that and i should be transferred to a page showing 
me more details of that garcia..showing me more than just his/her 
firstname,middlename, and yeargrad.

What should i use as my sql statement for the "more details" page? And how 
do i tell the detail page to show which records to retrieve and display?
By the way, here's part of the code that i have for the results page:

// $r->lastname";
//   }
// ?>

if anyone can please help me. thanks.

[PHP] PHP Search Engine?

[lmlweb]

Hello,

I've picked up a book called the PHP Developer's Cookbook, specifically
for the search engine that was featured in it. It required the use of
PEAR's File/Find.php, which my host hasn't installed, ..and very likely
will not.

Is there another way of coming up with a search engine in PHP that
doesn't require the use of subscription services?

[PHP] Search - 'AND' ... 'OR'

[Scott 'INtense!' Reismanis]

Hey all,
 
I am in the middle of writing a script to allow users to search through
news archives on my website. Anyhow I am just wondering which logic you
believe best suits a search.
 
i.e. say a user types in 'games AND playstation' then only results
containing both those words will be returned
by the same token they could type in 'games OR playstation' then results
containing either word will be returned
 
However if a user does not explicity join there search critiera
i.e. 'games playstation' what should I assume?
 
What would you expect? Google for example wacks an 'AND' inbetween which
is wise considering they are searching billions of pages however my site
obviously will only be searching a few hundred so maybe I should assume
an 'OR'?
 
So basically I just am curious to know what you would expect when
entering multiple critera.
 
Regards,
 
 
   Scott
 

[PHP] Search & replace text

Hello all.  I am trying to search through a text file on my server to

to "find" the actual string and replace it.  Can someone look over my code 
and see what the problem is?  I am afraid that ereg is not my strongest 
point.

Also, at what point should I start writing the file out?  Wouldn't there be 
a permissions error if I was reading and writing at the same time?

Thanks
CDitty


$oldemail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

 exit;
}else{
 echo "Success";

RE: [PHP] search engine

[Dallas Kropka]

hehe, And while they are at it, could that same person please tell me how
to achieve world domination with just a sponge, toothpick and some gum

hehe sorry Brandon I just couldn't resist... your going to have to get a
little more specific on your questions... we cant write the script for
you

What are you searching for? pages on your site? MP3s in your database?
Everything on the web??? If you are doing the last one, then I would suggest
you stop here if your asking this question, then you don't understand
that this can take LOTS of time and money... There are scripts out there now
that will allow you to do this. Not sure of any off the top of my head, but
someone will know, check www.hotscripts.com .

However, the other two are fairly simple... you will need a database table
with the page name, and list of keywords for that page then do something
like this...

SELECT pagePath FROM searchEngine WHERE keyWords LIKE
'$key_Word_User_Entered'

It's LIKE or IN I never remember which... (someone set me strait here.)

your form would be a 1 or 2 field form, one for the users search, the other
maybe a drop down list of possible categories to search in (Rap,
Country, Pets, Sports...) this would be to narrow the search...


but as always with PHP someone has written this already,... again, check
hotscrips.


Good luck...

No need to reinvent the wheel - this uses MySQL and has a PHP front end - 
I believe that future versions of PHP will have more support for this app.

Re: [PHP] Search Engines

[Matt Friedman]

There are a few things that can help you get indexed by the search engines
if you are using a server side scripting language.

1. Try to avoid passing variables in the get string. That is, the stuff
after the "?" in a url.
2. If you want a page indexed, don't redirect from that page to another
page. The search spider will not follow the redirect.

Other than that, I can't think of more things that a spider wouldn't like
that have to do with php. If there are more, please correct me.

PHP produces HTML output which is sent to a browser, spider, etc.
Everything else being equal about content on a webpage, a PHP generated file
and a static HTML file are identical, with the possible exception of the
file extension.  There are a few "gotchas".  A search engine can recognize a
.php* file extension and assign it a penalty, though I'm not aware of this
happening.  If that's a fear you can always configure your webserver to
parse .html files using PHP.  Some search engines will ignore or penalize
webpages with query strings in them (query strings are variable-value pairs
following a "?" after the webpage name).  The logic for this makes sense
since a lot of pages like that are dynamically generated and a search engine
will be less effective if it indexes a page and a few days later a user does
a search, it appears in the results and the user goes there and the page no
longer exists or contains different content than was indexed.  An easy way
around this (at least in Apache) is to create dynamically generated webpages
that appear static.  This can be accomplished by using AliasMatch lines in
your Apache config. file to point a group of URLs (such as all beginning
with '/books/') to a single PHP file.  Then within the PHP file use a
combination of regular expressions and environment variables (among other
solutions) to pull the proper content from a file or database.

For example if you have a URL like '/books/516.html' you can do:
eregi( '^/books/(.*).html', $SCRIPT_URL, $regs ) )
// $regs[1] will contain '516'.
// Grab record from database with id 516.

Offhand, the only other things to watch for are don't do fast meta redirects
(or any redirects at all) and if your PHP file hasn't been updated in
months, but the database data it pulls from has updated recently, it's
likely that browsers and spiders may think their cached copies of your
webpage are current.  A solution is to use a combination of header()
functions like:

header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate( "D, d M Y H:i:s" ) . " GMT" );

Making your webpages appear at the top of search engines for your desired
search phrases is another story.  Though I live talking about search engine
optimization strategies and steps, this isn't the right forum for giving
away all of the secrets.

Re: [PHP] search highlighting

[Plutarck]

You'll probably want to use preg_replace.

For instance:

$string = "/(PHP)/i";

$target = "Please highlight PhP for me.";

echo $target, '';

$target = preg_replace($string, "\\1", $target);

echo $target, '';


\\1 is whatever was found in the first parentheses(sp).

I think you want regular expressions...

Try this on for size:
$str = "http://www.yahoo.com/somedir/somepage.html";

if (preg_match("/www.yahoo.com/i", $str)) {
 print "Your submission cannot be accepted";
} else {
 print "You are good";
}

Even better, try strstr...it'll be faster than a regexp for a simple

I doubt there is a need to use regular expressions just to find out of
a string has yahoo.com in it.

Re: [PHP] Search Engines

[Tim]

The web site http://www.searchenginewatch.com is highly recommended. :)

I believe that some search engines may not grok .php files properly, but
that may be old information, given the amount of PHP out there these
days.  All of my clients sites that I run use .html as a PHP extension,
so that's not an issue for them.

[PHP] Search in Progress

[Alexis Antonakis]

Hi,

I am developing a simple site, in PHP4, which has three frames on it.

The first gives you the search options and the second two, the results.

What I was wondering was, while the database is being searched, is it
possible to display some text in the 'results' frame stating that the search
is in progress?


I also have another site which I would like do this on, however this one,
rather than using frames, uses tables, and it is only when the entire set of
data for each table has been retrieved that the page is actually displayed.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Alexis

hi,

I'm working on a search results page. actually i have my search form and 
search results page working fine already. but i want to add something on the

"results page". my search "results page" shows the following fields: 
lastname, firstname, middlename, yeargrad.
what i want is that the lastname results should be linked to a "more 
details" page. so for example, if i have a search result with 'garcia' as 
the lastname..i click on that and i should be transferred to a page showing 
me more details of that garcia..showing me more than just his/her 
firstname,middlename, and yeargrad.

What should i use as my sql statement for the "more details" page? And how 
do i tell the detail page to show which records to retrieve and display?
By the way, here's part of the code that i have for the results page:

// $r->lastname";

if anyone can please help me. thanks.

[PHP] search engine friendly urls

[Kelly Meeks]

Does anyone have any ideas/info (or can you point me to) regarding how to make dynamic 
php content more search engine friendly (losing the '?' when dealing with url 
variables)?

As a Cold Fusion convert, you could do something like this:

http://www.blabla.com/dynamicpage.cfm/205  were 205 would be a record number and would 
be conventionally represented as

http://www.blabla.com/dynamicpage.cfm?id=205  

Thanks in advance,

RE: [PHP] PHP Search Engine?

[lmlweb]

My correction - there is a Pear, and it was just a matter of finding the
location
(/root/php-4.1.2/pear/File/Find.php) - so I tried to use the full path -
owrked, but then the Find.php required the PEAR.php, which was one
level. So what I've done so far is to put the Find.php in my directory,
and then make the path to the PEAR.php in the Find.php.

I don't know if this will work for the search application from the PHP
Dev's Cookbook but so far it seem to be working this way.

Search engines don't know or care how pages were generated (PHP, ASP,
Perl, telekinesis, cosmic rays, etc.). They'll slurp up anything with HTML
or text on it. Some will read PDFs and other types as well.

A few won't index pages with GET arguments 
(?this=that&theotherthing=whatever) on them, but they're in the minority.

RE: [PHP] Search engine indexing

[John Holmes]

Most will index a plain PHP page just like an .html page. If there is a
query string in the URL, like index.php?id=34, then some search engines
won't index it. 

There are methods for creating your URL so that it can be indexed and
still pass values, read some tutorials on Devshed.com or PHPbuilder.com.

[PHP] Search a flat file.

[Tom Ray]

I want to be able to search a flat file line by line looking for data 
such as a username then display all the information in that line. Is 
there some way to search the following format:

record1:username:info:info:info
record2:username:info:info:info
record3:username:info:info:info


So if someone submits the username in record two for the search I want 
it to stop at record two and then display that information...

any suggestions?

Funny.  I asked a very similar question the other day.  Jason Morehouse was
nice enough to offer this advice:

If you use fulltext search (assuming you are using MySQL), it deals with
stop
words on its own as well as some additional search logic.

You need to assign the output of this function to a string:

RE: [PHP] Search & replace text

[PHPBeginner.com]

instead of writing to you the code I'll give you an idea:

1. you open the file and read it line-by-line assigning it to an array,
2. you loop that array parsing it line by line changing it's values with
RegEx the way you want.
3. you open the same file and, looping the array writing it down overriding
any existing data in the file.

You are now set.

Another little thing: You don't need the eregi() here - just do 
str_replace. If it doesn't find $oldemail it won't do anything.

Thanks for the idea.  Can you give me an example of how to load a file into

[PHP] Search Engines and PHP

[Jamie]

I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me about the ability of search
engines to read and list PHP pages.  I have been told that because PHP
produces a dynamic html page (i.e. one that possibly outputs different HTML
for each hit or request) that they are not easily added to search engines
(if this is true though what would be the point of having any html pages if
you can't update or change them at anytime?).  Another point was made to me
was that many PHP pages require additional commands to be passed through the
URL eg www.domain.com.au/writestufft.php?variable=foobar which search
engines find hard to deal with also.
If any of these are true or if there are such problems which could result in
the page not getting listed then what are the options.
My only idea has come from the [PHP]url hide thread in which a index.html
single 'wrapper frame' could be applied to the entire site.
Any Ideas

Jamie
Slightly confused and possibly mislead

[PHP] Search for the documentation

[Jamie]

I'm one of those ppl who find it hard to sit and read documentation
especially manuals like the PHP one - presented HTML with no inbuilt search
functions. Being a fairly novice programmer and more of a designer I'm not
even that familiar with the programming terms to figure out what sections to
find what I'm looking for.
Sooo
-has anyone written a PHP search script for the documentation. I'd like to
be able to be able to do it similar to the windows (or most other) find box
where it will sort through all the pages until it hits the string I'm after
then if that's not it I can hit next and go onto the next matching string
that it finds... I guess what I'm thinking of would have to run in a framed
html [search at top and manual at bottom] but any other suggestions would be
welcomed.

Jamie

[PHP] search a text file

[Peter Benoit]

I've got a bit of a task where I need to poll a text file for several lines
of text which is buried deep within the file.  These lines change each day,
but the text surrounding them do not.

Is it possible to extract these lines of information based on the text
surrounding them?

Apache allows use of urls without "?" and "&" right out of the box.  That's 
just a URI without an optional query string: , for 
example.   I'm guessing you want to use URLs that *do have a query string 
and transform them into ones that don't: 
 becoming 
, right?

You can use an .htaccess file to direct Apache to rewrite URLs as long as 
mod_rewrite is installed.  See 
 for a detailed 
tutorial.

For a how-to on implementing this in PHP, check out some of the tutorial 
sites like phpbuilder.com,weberdev.com, webmonkey.com, etc.

[PHP] Search engines and mod_rewrite

[Tom Carter]

hi all,

On one of my sites we make extensive use of variable passed through the
url, particullarly for browsing the main content of the site which is
organised into main and sub categories, eg
browse.php?maincat=Weather&subcat=sunny kind of thing.

I understand from colleagues who know much on these things that public
search engines bots (eg google) stop parsing thru that part of the site
when they reach a '?' (I could well be wrong on this).

a way around this that I have heard is installing the mod_rewrite module
in apache and mapping browse/weather/sunny to
browse.php?maincat=weather&subcat=sunny.

Would this in fact even  fix the problem? Its a hard thing to test!

Does anyone have any experience using this? And what is the advice from
people on how best to get google&co to spider your site and find your
content effectively?

Thanks in advance

Tom

[PHP] php search xml-file

[Jan Grafström]

Hi!
I have this xml:

car
ford
3600


-
and this php:
$filename = "list.xml";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$string = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
$string = strip_tags($string);
$refined_string = explode(" ", $string);
if (in_array($needle." ", $refined_string)) {
print "found";
} else {
print "notfound";
}
fclose ($fp);
---
I always get notfound when I set $needle to a word inside the xml-file.
My script doesn´t work.
Is it possible also to write a script wich can find the word "ford" if
You only ask for "for"?
I have just started to learn about php search and I am very thankful for
any help.

[PHP] Search a string between

[Luiz Vitor]

Hi...

I have a text and, some words of the text have the tags  between them.
What i'm trying to do is to replace the word between that tags for a url, wich I'll 
search them in a database and convert to a url.

It's working fine when I have only one , but when there are more than one, 
the script converts all the text between the first  and the last 
.

I'm using this code:

if (eregi("(.*)", $string, $result)) {
   $string = str_replace($result[1], ''.$result[1].'', 
$string);
}


Someone knows what I have to do to put it to work???


Thanks in advance.

[PHP] "Search" code finds ANYTHING

[Raphael Pirker]

Hi,

function search_the_array($array) {
  global $search_tmp;
  $result = array_search($search_tmp, $array, TRUE);
   reset($array);
   while (!($result === FALSE) && (list($k, $v) = each($array)))
{
   // Or maybe you wanted ereg($search_tmp, $v) here...
   $result = ereg($v, $search_tmp) ? $k : FALSE;
   }
return ' '.$result; // extra space needed before the "key"
}

This code immediately returns a result, no matter what I type in there and
what the array consists of. I even tried searching "Singapore" for "I will
get a result no matter what I search for" and BANG... PHP fires back a
result. I didn't write the code myself so I have no idea what's going on
there... but I'd be glad if someone could help me. This code is supposed to
search an array until it finds "$search_tmp" inside it...

TIA,

Raphael

You don't need layers.  Just have a js routine that sends 2 different
location statements, i.e.


parent.resultsframe.location =
"javascript:'document.write(loading...');";
// then start your search code here

Little thing to think about: is your search so slow that you need to (or 
that it makes sense to) display an "in progress" text?

Go to 
http://www.google.com/search?q=e
and look at the info in the upper right corner of the page. That's how a 
search should work :)

Re: [PHP] search engine submission

[Jonathan Chum]

I believe that he wants an automated URL submission script. I've seen one
that just been released like a week or two ago. It's good script from what I
remember looking at the code with "success" page verification. If I can find
the URL, I'll be sure to reply. I can't seem to find it my IE's history. I
think the Windows XP Pro upgrade on Win2k did something to the browser's
history.

I have ported my PERL submission script to PHP, however I'm waiting for a
particular feature in PHP, rather a function to be more "developed" before I
release my port.

Re: [PHP] search engine submission

[Marian Vasile]

All you need to learn, about submission is just forms (post get) and some
javascript, to simulate perfectly like user is typing the info.
Youca use two frames for that and it's really easy... :)

Yours
Marian

[PHP] Search Engine risk using $HTTP_HOST?

[Kevin Stone]

Does anyone know if there is a risk of search engine's banning you (or
reducing your status) if you use $HTTP_HOST to redirect visitors to two
separate domains such as in the example below?  Note:  It's not a header
redirect.  Instead I use an include statement which works because both
websites exist in separate folders locally on the same account.
 
file: index.php

 
Just making sure!  :-)
 
Thanks,
Kevin Stone

Re: [PHP] search engine friendly urls

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

You can do exactly the same thing with PHP.  The 205 would show up in the
$PATH_INFO variable.

[PHP] search engine indexing and redirects

[Adrian Murphy]

Hi all,
firstly: i know nowt about search engines/crawlers spiders really.
i'm giving users fake sub-domains i.e
www.username.mysite.com gets redirected to www.mysite.com/users/sites/username via 
mod_rewrite/wildcard dns
so i'm wondering if search engines will have any trouble indexing those sites.
i was talking to an 'internet consultant' who
has a flash red sports car and earns about 5 times more than me and he said i should 
look into this.
i would have thought that server-side redirects are no problem for crawlers.
i set up a google adwords thingy for one of the sites and it
worked for a while but now they've come back to me saying the url 
doesn't work when it clearly does.i've asked the google folks about this and am 
waiting for them to get back.
was just wondering if anyone had experience of this sort of thing.
thanks
adrian

[PHP] Search Engine Friend Dynamic Pages

[Scott Reismanis]

Hey all,

Just a quick question regarding developing search engine friendly 
pages. Basically I am re-writing my site so that say mysite.com?
page=support&action=help becomes mysite.com/support/help/ Reason why is 
it looks nicer and is search engine friendly, as some search engines 
cannot spider URLS with query strings.

Anyhow my preferable method of achiving this is having all pages raise 
a 404 error, which then loads my custom 404 page which shall output 
a "200 ok header" and load the appropiate content. I have heard 
somewhere though, that despite overwriting the 404 header, search 
engines wont index the page because they think it does not exist... is 
this the case? If so I shall use another method, such as one where I 
crop the *.php extension off my files and force apache to interpret 
them as mime type php.

Thanks for your time everyone
