Hello everyone, this is my first post here so I will try to make it as clear as possible.
Firstly i have a database with a single table named "albums" with the following fields: -
albumid int(11)
-
genreid varchar(30)
-
albumtitle varchar(30)
-
albumauthor varchar(30
-
numberofsongs int(11
-
price int(11)
Then i have two php pages
Search.php : -
<html>
-
-
<center>
-
-
</br></br></br></br>
-
-
<img src="guitarlogo.jpg" alt="Music Database"/>
-
-
<form method="GET" action="Result.php">
-
-
<h2><b>Search Music Database:</b></h2>
-
-
<input type="text" name="mts" />
-
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
-
</form>
-
-
<?php
-
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
-
$fields = mysql_list_fields("ea09039", "albums", $connection);
-
$columns = mysql_num_fields($fields);
-
echo "<form action=Result.php method=POST>";
-
-
echo "<select name=Field>";
-
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {
-
echo "<option value=$i>";
-
echo mysql_field_name($fields, $i);
-
}
-
echo "</select></form>";
-
?>
-
-
</center>
-
-
</html>
-
and Result.php : -
<?php
-
-
include("db.php");
-
-
$mts=$_GET["mts"];
-
$Field=$_GET["Field"];
-
-
-
$query="select * from albums where '$Field' like '%$mts%'";
-
-
$res2=mysql_query($query);
-
-
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($res2))
-
{
-
echo $row[2];
-
echo " has author ";
-
echo $row[3];
-
echo " and costs ";
-
echo $row[5];
-
echo " Euro.";
-
echo " And is from the genre ";
-
echo $row[1];
-
echo "<br/>";
-
}
-
-
?>
-

Thank you Samishii23 the second part worked like a charm :D
Also thanks to everyone that contributed
Let me make a note about doing that. When you pass data like this there is a higher chance of someone finding out what your data is because they know something about your Database, though it is a bit far fetched, but the concept and possibility is there. Your better off using the #'s rather then the Field name itself.
You could use a field name array and do something like this: - $fields = array ('id','name','date');
-
$Field = $fields[$_POST['Field']];
Thank you for the information, i will try it out.

Hi,
I want to create a search engine for my site. When i search a any keyword it should take me to that keyword. The keyword may be a country name, name, month etc. If this available in database it should take me there else if the keyword specified by the user is new it should store that keyword in database and when next time the user give that word it should display that result.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
