There are definitely possibilities there. Personally, I tend to be
biased against using the database to format output for presentation,
so I'd rather not push the task off there. Still, I know lots of
developers do not share this bias, so I'll address a couple other
issues I see with this approach:

1) If the search word appears multiple times, LOCATE() will only find
it once. I'd probably use REPLACE() instead. This leads to the next
problem:

2) I'm not sure if the OP wants this or not, but if he wants to
highlight each of multiple search terms the way many sites do, he
would have to split the terms and build a SQL phrase that like this
(there are probably other approaches available in MySQL to do the same
thing):

-- search phrase 'quaint french cafe'
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(`my_column`, 'quaint', 'quaint'), 'french', 'french'), 'cafe', 'cafe') FROM ...

In this case, he should get all instances of each word highlighted,
but the accented characters would again be replaced with a particular
style. (Not to mention the size and complexity of the query being
passed from PHP to the database or the potential size of the result
being passed from the database to PHP since it now could have lots of
formatting text embedded in it.)

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?

[Yeti]

The original problem was

User X submits a character string A.

A PHP scripts uses A to search for it's occurences in a DB, ignoring special
characters.

The result of ze search is a list of character strings M-LIST with matches.

This list gets outputted to the user X, but before that all the matching
strings should be replaced with ''..''

If i clearly got the OP then he is using MySQL to perform the search.

I guess he is doing it with MATCH. So MySQL already found the match and in
PHP it has to be done again ...

eg.

The table has 2 entries, string1 and string2 ..

string1 = 'Thís ís an éxámplè stríng wíth áccénts.'

string2 = 'This is an example string without accents.'

Now the user searches for "ample":

search = '*ample*'

Both string have matches due to accent-insensitivity (AI). Now the result is
outputted with highlighting ..

*Thís ís an éx**ámplè** stríng wíth
áccénts.*

*This is an ex**ample** string without
accents.*

So since MySQL already did the job, why not get the occurances from it?

I'm not an MySQL expert, but I know google and found something called string
functions. Especially a "locate" function got my interest.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_locate

Now shouldnt it be possible to create a query that searches the db for
matches and additionally uses the string function?

I have no idea, but maybe some MySQL-expert out there has ...

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?

[Giulio Mastrosanti]

First of all thank you all for your answers, and thank you for your time

and yes Tedd, my question was quite ambiguous in that point.

Andrew is right, i don't want to change in any way the list of keys I  
show in the result, I just want to find the way to higlight the  
matching words, regardless of their accent variations.


So I think his Andrew's suggestion could be a good solution, and I'll  
try it ASAP...


let me se if i correctly understood:

$search = preg_quote($word); -- quotes chars that could be intrepreted  
like regex special chars


$search = str_replace('e', '[eèéêë]', $search);  --  trasforms i.e.  
cafe in caf[eèéêë], so matches all the accented variations


return preg_replace('/\b' ...  -- replaces all the occurences adding  
the tags, you use \b as word boundary, right?


it seems a fine soultion to the problem!

the only thing i must add is, befor calling highlight_search_terms, to  
'normalize' the word string ( the word used for the search) to  
transform it removing the accentated versions of the chars:


$word = preg_replace('[èé]{1}','e',$word);
$word = preg_replace('[à]{1}','a',$word);

that because also the search string could contain an accented char,  
and this way I avoid to perform str_replace in the  
highlight_search_terms function for every combination of accented chars


well, i think I'm on the good way now, unfortunately I have some other  
urgent work and can't try it immediately, but I'll let you know:)


thank you!

 Giulio




I may be mistaken (and if I am, then just ignore this as ignorant
rambling), but I don't think he's wanting to replace the accented
characters in the original string. I think he's just wanting the
pattern to find all variations of the same string and highlight them
without changing them. For example, his last paragraph would look  
like

this:

[quote]
now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind of regular
expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'cafe' in a string also if it is 'café', or 'CAFÉ', or 'CAFE',  and vice-versa.
[/quote]

The best I can think of right now is something like this:

$0', $string);

}

$string = "now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind
of regular expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'cafe' in a string
also if it is 'café', or 'CAFÉ', or 'CAFE',  and vice-versa.";


echo highlight_search_terms('cafe', $string);

?>

Andrew:

You may be right -- it's ambiguous now that I review it again. He  
does say search and replace but I'm not sure if that's what he  
really wants. It looks more like search with one string and  
highlight all like-strings.

 Giulio:

 Three things:

 1. Your English is fine.

 2. Try using mb_ereg_replace()

 http://www.php.net/mb_ereg_replace

 Place the accents you want to change in that and change them to whatever you
 want.

 3. Change:

 '.$keysearch.''

 to

 '.$keysearch.''

 and add

 .keysearch
   {

 to your css.

Because that would make the password comparison case-sensitive (as one
might reasonably infer from the subject of the message). However, the
OP wanted the password to be case-INsensitive.

Andrew:

I had the exact same case with a client. My client teaches classes 
and wanted to provide the attendees with a url where they could 
download PDF files for the class.


In this case, they only needed a password AND the password was 
identical for everyone.


Sure attendees could distribute the url and password, but requiring a 
password makes it just a bit harder than just giving out the url and 
allowing everyone/thing to download the files. The file were 
delivered to the user by a password protected script, so no one could 
bookmark the files.


And doing it this way required no effort by my client to keep track 
of user names. He just taught the class, gave out the url/password, 
and the software did the rest.


So, in this case it made sense.

Why not md5 the password, and store the md5 encryption.
Then when they type something in, md5 it and compare the md5 strings.
That will ensure that it is Case Sensitive

Andrew,

That is correct.  Only ONE password to access a restricted page for selected
people.  But... they want to make that ONE password case-insensitive.  I
added the following code with 2 variables now, one being upper case, one
being lower case but that, of course, doesn't cover all the variatons on the
"video" word.  I'm looking for the code to make this whole word
case-insensitive, no matter which letter is cap or not can you add to
this code below please?

Thanks much
R.C.

session_start();

 $_SESSION ['userpass'] = $_POST ['pass'];
 $_SESSION ['authuser'] = 0;

$login = "VIDEO";
$login2 = "video";

if (($_SESSION['userpass'] == $login) or ($_SESSION['userpass'] == $login2))
{
$_SESSION['authuser'] = 1;
?>

I could be wrong, but I didn't see anything about a username. It
sounds to me more like it is a single password shared with all the
people who should have access to a specific, non-personalized area of
the site. It certainly wouldn't be my preferred way to set up
security, but depending on the level of risk involved it may be
sufficient.

Re: [PHP] Case sensitive password

[R.C.]

Hi Tedd,

It is NOT the user who determines this ONE password,  it's the client... he
gives it out to selected folks to input
For example: he says to a few people: use "video" to access this page okay?
He would like to make this word case-insensitive so the few people can type
in either Video or VIDEO or video.

Now in the below code auth snippet WHERE do I input some code to make this
one word case-insensitive UPON INPUT.

thanks

Nothing major until it is.

As for the client, I always said "Everyone has the right to be wrong".

Ask the client this -- if two users have "Cat" and "cAt" for their 
passwords, what do you think the client's lability would be for 
changing them both to be identical when neither user approved?


As I get older, I think about how to avoid lability more.

Re: [PHP] Case sensitive password

[R.C.]

I've tried some of the methods mentioned in earlier posts, but I don't
understand this correctly.  Here is the code I have to validate a hard
corded password to access a page, which is in upper case

WHERE do I input the code to make sure that whatever case a user inputs this
word, it will still validate?

Thank you for your patience.  I'm learning

Tedd,

thank you for your input but it's the site client who wants the user to
input this ONE password either upper or lower case...it's for accessing a
protected page... nothing major.

But generally I agree... if the user has selected a password, that is what
he/she wants and it should be left alone.

BTW: I used Chris' and Nathan's code and it's working fine.

One of the very, very few things that pisses me off about Gmail,
in fact.  You take the time to type out a long, well-thought-out
response, only to see that damned yellow box pop up in the bottom
right indicating that someone else just responded to the thread.

You'd swear we were getting paid to be the first to respond sometimes.  ;-P

Why?

If a user has selected a password, then leave it alone and don't 
change it -- it's their password.


If a user has difficulty remembering their password, then make sure 
there's a "forgot password" option in the sign on.

As Nathan mentioned, just compare them in the same way.

$stored_password = strtolower($stored_password);

$user_password = strtolower($user_password);

if ($stored_password == $user_password) {
echo "Yay!";
} else {

Thank you for your reply.  The password is not stored, actually, like in a
databse.  We're only dealing with one password. When the user inputs the
password, he/she should be able to input either in lower or upper case or
both abd they should have access to the "protected file" in this case.

Is this what you are recommending below?

when you store the password, you can store it as all upper or all lowercase,
then when comparing against the stored value, do the same operation to the
value supplied from the user, and compare those.  and you dont have to
modify the original value if you dont want to, when you store it.  just
remember to alter both the stored value and the user-supplied value when
doing comparisons.

/// here is an example comparison
// get password value from db for user, put it in $storedPassword

$userSuppliedPassword
// now for the case insensitive comparison
if(strtolower($storedPassword) == strtolower($userSuppliedPassword))
  // passwords are the same

  // passwords are different

also note in the above example, there is no encryption of the password,
which you almost certainly want to have ;)

Before you store the password, make it all lowercase (or uppercase,
whatever you prefer).

$password = strtolower($password);


When you compare the passwords, turn it all to lower (or upper) case
before you compare it.

Re: [PHP] Case insensitive ksort

[TG]

I don't have time to look up in the manual but I don't remember a case 
insensitive ksort().

I think there's a uksort() where you could specify your own sorting 
parameters for the keys.

Also, you could create the array with keys run through strtoupper() or 
strtolower().  If you need the proper upper/lowercase version too, you 
could store that separately within the array.

Just some thoughts on how you could do this.  good luck!

I thought about that but it means dealing with my own login system and apart

having to figure that out, it's seems like a kludge ... in the end

You could create a script that basically just does apc_clear_cache() et all. 
and call it from lynx, curl, wget, etc. and throw that into a cron job.  That 
would technically get you to call the script from the cli, but it should 
clear the webserver cache.

Case should be retained and the search is case insensitive

That's not where the issue is.

Eregi_replace conducts a case insensitive SEARCH but how the REPLACE
operates has nothing to do with it.

If you use ereg_replace, then it is most obviously not going to replace
"MacOS" with "macos" or even "MacOS", because the string searched for is of a
different case.

But thanks for helping.

You're using the eregi_replace function - which does case insensitive 
replaces (read the man page).

Change it to use

ereg_replace

   return preg_replace('/(' . $highlight . ')/i', '$1', $text); 
}

Case should be retained and the search is case insensitive

That's not where the issue is.

Eregi_replace conducts a case insensitive SEARCH but how the REPLACE
operates has nothing to do with it.

If you use ereg_replace, then it is most obviously not going to replace
"MacOS" with "macos" or even "MacOS", because the string searched for is of a
different case.

But thanks for helping.

You're using the eregi_replace function - which does case insensitive 
replaces (read the man page).

Change it to use

ereg_replace

Good point, I had it around the wrong way.


function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
  return eregi_replace($highlight, "" . $highlight

}


So where does 'highlight' come from when you pass it in ?

If you are know that all your file and directory names are lower case, but

strtolower(). Or strtoupper() - the choice is yours.

Re: [PHP] Case-Insensitive include on linux.

[Marco Kaiser]

Hi,

this is very stupid because you can have files in a directory named:

PleaSeINCLUDeMe.php
pleaseincludeme.php

and if you do a case insensitive include which one should be included?
The include stuff works insensitive under windows great because the
filesystem does not permit 2 file with the same name in a directory.
The example above is not possible.

Linux file systems are case sensitive. The include() and require() functions
try to open the file specified. If you enter the wrong case the file system

Use strcasecmp():

  strcasecmp($a, $b)  // returns 0 if strings match case-insensitive
  // non-zero if not

This is slightly unfortunate in that the test you have to do is counter-intuitive:

  if (strcasecmp($a, $b)):
 // strings DON'T match
  else:
 // strings match case-insensitively
  endif;

Nonetheless, I'd prefer this over case-converting both strings and then comparing, as 
you're only making a single function call to do a comparison with in-line conversion, 
as opposed to two function calls for the conversions and then a comparison as well.  
(I guess I ought to benchmark that -- although it seems "obvious", sometimes the 
obvious isn't!)

Just force the case while you're comparing the two:

if (strtolower($a) == strtolower($b)) {
  echo "case-insensitive match";
} else {
  echo "no match";
}

Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

Filesystems are meant to be case-sensitive, and yes, URL's are as well.
It's an abomination that Windows and old-style Mac filesystems are not.
You need to keep track of that in your code.  'a' and 'A' are just as
different as 'a' and 'b'.

Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity

[Andrew Brampton]

Linux file systems are case sensitive... So the file Hello.php is different
to hello.php... Both can exist at the same time and contain different
content, but they are different...On the windows file system files aren't
case sensitive so Hello.php would be the same as hello.php...

So I suggest in your PHP coding that you get all the cases (of files) the
same throughout your app, or if you want to be lazy do what you are doing at
the moment (ie changing the case with strtoupper())

I'm doing some replacing with str_replace, but it's case sensitive.  Is
there any way to make it not case-sensitive?

First of all, the function is eregi_replace(), not ereg_ireplace(). Anyway,
that one goes slower because it has regular expressions.  Is there any
function that does't have regular expressions, but isn't case sensitive?

Close - it's eregi_replace().

To use preg_replace case-insensitively, just toss an 'i' at the end of 
your pattern. Instead of:

   preg_replace('/abc/', 'def', $x);

use

   preg_replace('/abc/i', 'def', $x);

Just substitute strstr() with stristr()

The extra I in stristr() stands for "Insensitive".

If I was insensitive, I would say RTFM >:)

If you look under http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php
It tells you about stristr

[Frank]

if ($author[0]=='a' || $author[0]=='A')
{
...

or (much slower)

if (strtolower($author[0])=='a')

[Kevin Stone]

Use strtolower() or strtoupper() to change the case of a string.
And yes doing the same thing twice in the same statement is overkill!  :)
if((substr(strtolower($author), 0, 1) == "a") ||
(substr(strtolower($author), 0, 1) == "a")){}

MySQL, on non binary comparisons, is case insensitive. I'm not sure what
your problem is, though. Could you try and explain in a little more detail?

Re: [PHP] Case-Sensitivity with PHP and MySQL

[Plutarck]

I had a similar question about case-sensitivity, and I was told that MySQL
is automatically case-insensitive! But it depends on your version of MySQL.

Go to the mysql manual and look at chapter 20.16 "Case sensitivity in
searches".

In the newest versions of MySQL, all searches are case-insensitive by
default. To make them case-sensitive however, is a royal pain in the arse.

require includes the file BEFORE any processing is done - so yes it will be
included - you need to use include() instead.

'require' ALWAYS includes the file; 'include' is what you want here.

The tradeoff is that include is slightly slower. For more info, see

That is *supposed* to be the way it works. That is *supposed* to be one
of the differences of require() and include(). You'd use include(),
for example, within a conditional.

I can only speak for PHP 3.0.18, but yes. require() includes it
regardless. include() only includes it if 'blah' is met.

Pretty sure it depends on whether your file system is case-sensitive. If
you're on Windows, it's not; it Unix, it is.
