How can I Display an extract from MySQL database entry? - php

I'm after creating a webpage that includes a blog section and it currently displays the whole post on the homepage. I'd like to set it so that it only displays a certain part of the entry i.e 50 words. I'd then like to be able to set it so that I have a read more button below the post that links to the post id. I currently use post.php?=# (# = whatever the post id is).
Here is the homepage:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Blog Name</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" />
<body>
<div id="upper-bar">
<div id="bar-content">

<div class="main">
<h1>Blog Name</h1>
<div class="post-col">
<?php
mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'root') ;
mysql_select_db ('tmlblog');
$sql = "SELECT * FROM php_blog ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't select entries from table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$date = date("l F d Y", $row['timestamp']);
$title = stripslashes($row['title']);
$entry = stripslashes($row['entry']);
$id = $row['id'];
?>
<div id='post-info'><?php echo "<p id='title'><strong>" . $title . "</strong></p>"; ?><br /></div>
<div id="post">
<?php echo $entry; ?>
<!--<br /><br />

</div>

<?php
}
?>

Must it be words? Very long or short words could result in vastly differing character counts. Perhaps you should do a character count instead.
If so, you could use substr to print part of a string (change the 50 to whichever number of characters you want):
<?php echo htmlspecialchars(substr($entry, 0, 50)) ?>...

Alternatively, you could select a substring through SQL with SELECT SUBSTRING

SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(entry, ' ', 51) as entry FROM php_blog;
This will take up to 50 words for each entry (assuming that words are delimited with a single whitespace).

$truncatedEntry = substr($entry, 0, 50) . '...';
// truncate with word-wrapping
$truncatedEntry = substr($entry, 0, strpos(wordwrap($entry, 50), "\n")) . ' ...';

On your main page, query your blog posts like this:
$sql = "SELECT id, title, blog_timestamp, LEFT(blog_contents, 50) AS txt
FROM php_blog ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 5";
Then, when processing the results, trim to the nearest word and add a link.

php - for loop takes only the first value from mysql result

In this code I'm trying to create as many modal boxes as the rows of my query result. This works! Then I want to fill these modal boxes with as many checkboxes as the number $row['seats_no'] from database. Here we have a problem..in every modal box it creates the same amount of checkboxes as the first one. What I mean is that the $row['seats_no'] has the number from the first row in every row.
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['name']) && !isset($_SESSION['email']) && !isset($_SESSION['id']) && !isset($_SESSION['cash'])){
header("location: Start.php");
}
$name=trim($_SESSION['name']);
$email=trim($_SESSION['email']);
$dbc = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
mysqli_query($dbc,"SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysqli_query($dbc,"SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
if (isset($_POST['buy']) && isset($_POST['consert_id'])){
$q = "SELECT ticket_id, section, cost, seats_no FROM tickets INNER JOIN concert ON tickets.consert_id=concert.concert_id WHERE concert.concert_id=".$_POST['consert_id'];
//ticket_id, concert_id, section, cost, seats_no, concert_id,concert_name, date, place, category, description
$r = mysqli_query($dbc,$q);
$num= mysqli_num_rows($r);
$q1 = "SELECT * FROM concert WHERE concert_id=".$_POST['consert_id'];
$r1 = mysqli_query($dbc,$q1);
$first = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r1)
?>

here are the results i get from executing my query at phpMyAdmin
Here are the buttons I create to open the modals
And here is the modal from the last button i clicked that in the database shows it should be 60 checkboxes but it shows 180
Κατερίνα,
Try to change the while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r)) {...} with a foreach loop,
like as foreach( mysqli_fetch_array($r) as $row ) {....}
Just a thought.
Also, you close one bracket too soon, remove one before the first mysqli_free_result($r1) and close it after the closing html tag </html> at the end of the file.
Also, as #tadman said, do some research and use parameterized queries. Your code it's very prone to MySQL Injections and you will face several problems. As far as i can see that page has to do with payments, or pre-payment.
Anyways, i hope i helped you.
Καλή επιτυχία ;)

join multiple table together

I am trying to join two tables together. In posts table I have two column post_id and post_message.
In another table name post_attach have row_id, postid(same as post_id), and file_name( As like ms.jpg).
A post may have several attachment.But I don't know what will be query to show a post with several attachment. Here is my query...
$s = " SELECT posts.post_id,post_message, post_attach.file_name from posts join post_attach on post_id=row_id;
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'blog') or die();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Allo post with their attahcment</h3>
<?php
$s = " SELECT posts.post_id,post_message, post_attach.file_name from posts join post_attach on post_id=row_id;
";
$q = mysqli_query($conn,$s);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($q)) {?>
<p>Post No: <?php echo $row['post_id'] ?></p>
<p>Post text: <?php echo $row['post_message'] ?></p>
<p>Post attach: <?php echo $row['file_name'] ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</body>
</html>
I want something like:
post no: 1, post text: hello php, attachment: ms.jpg, ms.jpeetc.
The final word is every post will show with their relative attachment.
I wouldn't join the tables outright. I would iterate through the main posts table and show the post id and post message, then loop through the attachments. Something like:
<?php
$s = "SELECT posts.post_id,post_message FROM posts";
$q = mysqli_query($conn,$s);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($q))
{
?>
<p>Post No: <?php echo $row['post_id'] ?></p>
<p>Post text: <?php echo $row['post_message'] ?></p>
<p>
Post attach:
<?php
$att = "SELECT post_attach.file_name FROM post_attach WHERE post_id = $row[post_id]";
$files = mysqli_query($conn,$att);
while($row_files = mysqli_fetch_array($files))
{
echo $row_files['file_name'] . "<br>";
}
?>
</p>
<?php
}

Creating search engine in PHP [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Build SELECT query with dynamic number of LIKE conditions as a mysqli prepared statement
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have created search engine so when someone type in search box it takes data from my database and show the results in images.
Everything is working fine but if I have data in database with Name like 'Lamborghini', when someone type in search box 'lambo' or 'Lamborghini' it is working fine and show the result but when he types 'Lamborghini car' it is not showing any result.
Here is my PHP Code:
<html>
<link href="css/imgpages.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<head>
<title>Search the Database</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
Search: <input type="text" name="term" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
include("connection.php");
$term = $_POST['term'];
$query = mysql_query("select * from save_data where Title like '%$term%'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$post_id = $row['ID'];
$title = $row['Title'];
$image = $row['Name'];
?>
<div id="body">
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $title; ?>">
<div id="title"><?php echo $title; ?></div></a>
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $title; ?>">
<img src='uploads/<?php echo $image; ?>' width='140' height='140'></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
You should:
fix your SQL (make it secure - just one search could delete your whole database if you leave it like this, switch to mysqli or PDO because mysql_* functions are deprecated)
split your query string into separate words and decide how to handle them (whether you'll use OR or AND... in other words, do all search terms need to match, or any of them, etc.)
When you deal with all that and decide to make it more advanced, you should learn about full-text searching.
It is 'cause { %$term% } means the query try search something that contain all of the string in $term. Try this :
$term = explode(" ",$term);
if (count($term) > 0) {
$Where = '';
foreach($term as $Item) {
$Where .= "Title like '%$Item%' OR ";
}
$Where = substr($Where,0,-4);
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `save_data` WHERE $Where");
}
In this way the search will check out all words.
As the above people said just Explode the input string into an array and search for documents(description, keywords) where most of the elements match. Also take care of SQL Injection.
first make your term search explode so it would go into an array
<?php
$term = $_POST['term'];
$words = explode(" ", $term);
?>
then create a forearch loop for the mysql_query of your search and implode with "OR"
<?php
foreach ($words as $words)
{
$queries[]="select * from save_data where Title LIKE '%" .
mysql_real_escape_string($words) . "%'";
}
$query=implode(' OR ' ,$queries);
$results=mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
$post_id = $row['ID'];
$title = $row['Title'];
$image = $row['Name'];
?>
<div id="body">
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $title; ?>">
<div id="title"><?php echo $title; ?></div>
</a>
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $title; ?>">
<img src='uploads/<?php echo $image; ?>' width='140' height='140'>
</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Displaying information from a database in a loop

On my website i currently have an events page. Each event is read and displayed using a database. for each row in the database i have created a new div like:
<body>
<?php
define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
require 'connect.php';
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 3;') ?>
<?php while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) : ?>
<div class="aboutUsContenttest">
<div class="boxheader"><?php echo $row['a'] ?><br></div>
<div class="aboutUsContentText"> <?php echo $row['b'] ?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile ?>
</body>
this displays 3 different events.....
what i want to do is have an option to "Read More" meaning that i could click on a link which takes me to a separate page with more information about each event. how would i achieve this for say the second event? how would it know to take the information from the second row or div which has been created?
i hope this makes some sort of sense
Thank you
Pass the parametr in the address:
$limit = isset($_GET['view_all']) ? "" : "LIMIT 3";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY timestamp DESC {$limit};");
Just have a page named the value of $row['b'] with a php file extension, and create an anchor with the href set to '$row['b'].php'
or, you could add the name of the page as a field in your database.
<body>
<?php
define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
require 'connect.php';
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 3;') ?>
<?php while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) : ?>
<div class="aboutUsContenttest">
<div class="boxheader"><?php echo $row['a'] ?><br></div>
<div class="aboutUsContentText"> <?php echo $row['b'] ?></div>
<div><?php echo 'Read More'?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile ?>
</body>

Set Page Title using PHP

I wish to set the title of my webpage to Ultan.me - Whatever the post title. I want it to display the post title. The posts are submitted to a MySQL database and the title row is called "title". Any help is appreciated with this small question.
Update:
Here is the page itself now but it doesn't display the title. Should I open the php document and connect to my database somewhere different to it's current locations?
The Code (The only necessary piece is the beginning):

Here's the method I use (for similar things, not just title):
<?
ob_start (); // Buffer output
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title><!--TITLE--></title>
</head>
<body>
<?
$pageTitle = 'Title of Page'; // Call this in your pages' files to define the page title
?>
</body>
</html>
<?
$pageContents = ob_get_contents (); // Get all the page's HTML into a string
ob_end_clean (); // Wipe the buffer
// Replace <!--TITLE--> with $pageTitle variable contents, and print the HTML
echo str_replace ('<!--TITLE-->', $pageTitle, $pageContents);
?>
PHP usually works be executing any bits of code and printing all output directly to the browser. If you say "echo 'Some text here.';", that string will get sent the browser and is emptied from memory.
What output buffering does is say "Print all output to a buffer. Hold onto it. Don't send ANYTHING to the browser until I tell you to."
So what this does is it buffers all your pages' HTML into the buffer, then at the very end, after the tag, it uses ob_get_contents () to get the contents of the buffer (which is usually all your page's HTML source code which would have been sent the browser already) and puts that into a string.
ob_end_clean () empties the buffer and frees some memory. We don't need the source code anymore because we just stored it in $pageContents.
Then, lastly, I do a simple find & replace on your page's source code ($pageContents) for any instances of '' and replace them to whatever the $pageTitle variable was set to. Of course, it will then replace <title><!--TITLE--></title> with Your Page's Title. After that, I echo the $pageContents, just like the browser would have.
It effectively holds onto output so you can manipulate it before sending it to the browser.
Hopefully my comments are clear enough.
Look up ob_start () in the php manual ( http://php.net/ob_start ) if you want to know exactly how that works (and you should) :)
You parse the field from the database as usual.
Then let's say you put it in a variable called $title, you just
<html>
<head>
<title>Ultan.me - <?php echo htmlspecialchars($title);?></title>
</head>
EDIT:
I see your problem. You have to set $title BEFORE using it. That is, you should query the database before <title>...
header.php has the title tag set to <title>%TITLE%</title>; the "%" are important since hardly anyone types %TITLE% so u can use that for str_replace() later. then, you use output buffer like so
<?php
ob_start();
include("header.php");
$buffer=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$buffer=str_replace("%TITLE%","NEW TITLE",$buffer);

For more reference, click PHP - how to change title of the page AFTER including header.php?
What about using something like:
<?php
$page_title = "Your page tile";
include("navigation.php"); // if required
echo("<title>$page_title</title>");
?>
Move the data retrieval at the top of the script, and after that use:
<title>Ultan.me - <?php echo htmlspecialchars($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></title>
You need to set the value of $title before echoing it.
Also, you should really sanitize any data before using it in queries as this is a security risk
create a new page php and add this code:
<?php
function ch_title($title){
$output = ob_get_contents();
if ( ob_get_length() > 0) { ob_end_clean(); }
$patterns = array("/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/");
$replacements = array("<title>$title</title>");
$output = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements,$output);
echo $output;
}
?>
in <head> add code: <?php require 'page.php' ?> and on each page you call the function ch_title('my title');
The problem is that $title is being referenced on line 5 before it's being assigned on line 58. Rearranging your code isn't easy, because the data is both retrieved and output at the same time. Just to test, how does something like this work?
Because you're only retrieving one row, you don't need to use a while loop, but I left it with hopes that it'll make it easier for you to relate to your current code. All I've done is removed the actual output from your data retrieval, and added variables for category and category name which are then referred to as usual later on. Also, I haven't tested this. :)
It'll be tricky to rearrange your code to make this work, but I'll try :)
So, put this at the top of your code:
<?php require_once('mysql.php'); ?>
The top of the file should look like:
<?php require_once('mysql.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="Mac user Ultan Casey TheCompuGeeks UltanKC">
<title>Ultan.me - <?php echo htmlspecialchars($title); ?> </title>
Then, create a file called mysql.php in the same directory that the file which contains the code you quoted is in.
Put this is mysql.php:
<?php
mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'root');
mysql_select_db ('ultankc');
if (!isset($_GET['id']) || !is_numeric($_GET['id'])) {
die("Invalid ID specified.");
}
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM php_blog WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't select entry from table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());
$res = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$date = date("l F d Y", $res['timestamp']);
$title = $res['title'];
$entry = $res['entry'];
$get_categories = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM php_blog_categories WHERE `category_id` = $res['category']");
$category = mysql_fetch_array($get_categories);
?>
Well, hope that helped :)
I know this is an old post but having read this I think this solution is much simpler (though technically it solves the problem with Javascript not PHP).
<html>
<head>
<title>Ultan.me - Unset</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setTitle( text ) {
document.title = text;
}
</script>
<!-- other head info -->
</head>
<?php
// Make the call to the DB to get the title text. See OP post for example
$title_text = "Ultan.me - DB Title";
// Use body onload to set the title of the page
print "<body onload=\"setTitle( '$title_text' )\" >";
// Rest of your code here
print "<p>Either use php to print stuff</p>";
?>
<p>or just drop in and out of php</p>
<?php
// close the html page
print "</body></html>";
?>
Simply add $title variable before require function
<?php
$title = "Your title goes here";
require("header.php");
?>
header.php
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
<?php echo APP_TITLE?> - <?php echo $page_title;?>
this should work fine for you
if you want to current script filename as your title tag
include the function in your project
function setTitle($requestUri)
{
$explodeRequestUri = explode("/", $requestUri);
$currentFileName = end($explodeRequestUri);
$withoutExt = preg_replace('/\\.[^.\\s]{3,4}$/', '', $currentFileName);
$explodeCurrentFileName = explode("-", $withoutExt);
foreach ($explodeCurrentFileName as $curFileValue)
{
$fileArrayName[] = ucfirst($curFileValue);
}
echo implode(" ", $fileArrayName);
}
and in your html include the function script
and replace your title tag with this
<title>Your Project Name -
<?php setTitle($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>
</title>
it works on php7 and above but i dont have any idea about php 5.*
Hope it helps
