Candra on Ask: Integrated Search Toolbar->PHP-Mysql syntax

To newperson,

Thx for your explanation. But I still have problem on it.

I can not find the strip function on php manual but I find stripslashes, is it similar?because if i use Strip function it causes error.

if i run PHP-MYSQL example code with IE, the code do not work,could you help me find where is my error lies?

<?php

include 'config/connect.php';

$page = $_REQUEST['page']; // get the requested page

$limit = $_REQUEST['rows']; // get how many rows we want to have into the grid

$sidx = $_REQUEST['sidx']; // get index row - i.e. user click to sort

$sord = $_REQUEST['sord']; // get the direction

if(!$sidx) $sidx =1;

$wh = "";

$searchOn = stripslashes($_REQUEST['_search']);

if($searchOn=='true') { $sarr = Strip($_REQUEST);

foreach( $sarr as $k=>$v) {

switch ($k) {

case 'id':

case 'name':

case 'address':

case 'phone':

case 'fax':

case 'email':

$wh .= " AND ".$k." LIKE '".$v."%'";

break;

case 'total':

$wh .= " AND ".$k." = ".$v;

break; } }

}

//echo $wh;

switch ($examp) { case 1: $result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM table WHERE ".$wh);

$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);

$count = $row['count'];

// calculate the total pages for the query

if( $count >0 ) {

$total_pages = ceil($count/$limit);

} else {

$total_pages = 0;

}

// if for some reasons the requested page is greater than the total

// set the requested page to total page

if ($page > $total_pages) $page=$total_pages;

// calculate the starting position of the rows

$start = $limit*$page - $limit;

// if for some reasons start position is negative set it to 0

// typical case is that the user type 0 for the requested page

if($start < 0) $start = 0;

// the actual query for the grid data

$SQL = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE".$wh." ORDER BY ".$sidx." ".$sord. " LIMIT ".$start." , ".$limit;

$result = mysqli_query($link, $SQL ) or die("Couldn't execute query.".mysqli_error($link));

$responce->page = $page;

$responce->total = $total_pages;

$responce->records = $count;

$i=0;

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {

$responce->rows[$i]['id']=$row[id];

$responce->rows[$i]['cell']=array($row[id],$row[name],$row[address], $row[phone],$row[fax],$row[email],$row[total]);

$i++;

} echo json->encode($responce);// coment if php 5 //echo

json_encode($responce); break; case 3:

}

mysqli_close($db);

$searchOn = Strip($_REQUEST['_search']);

there is a function called Strip that will remove slashes from the user typed text

foreach( $sarr as $k=>$v) {

more or less this is pretty much saying for every value that the user entered in *note that the $v is data that comes out of your Strip function which as I mentioned it removes slashes from the user typed fields.

$wh .= ” AND “.$k.” LIKE '”.$v.”%'”;

If you noticed, your MYSQL syntax has .$wh at the end of it….and it needs this for searching basically this constructs a where clause that gives appends AND id, invdate,name,note plus a LIKE statement and since id,invdate,name,note are integer,text fields you are able to use the LIKE operator as opposed to float values such as amount, tax,total that is why you don't see the LIKE operator in $wh .= ” AND “.$k.” = “.$v;

Hope this helps understand it a little better.

PS when I first picked up jqgrids I had no clue about php/js/html, I still don't know a whole lot about them but I can find my way much easier now and have come up with some really nice functioning grids. It took me a while to get going with it and understand some of these basic concepts, If it weren't for the demos I wouldn't have been able to figure it out. My suggestion to you is to spend some time on the demo section and also IRC helps a lot, there are MYSQL/PHP/JavaScript channels you can join to ask specific questions which will point you in the right direction, I suggest using the freenode irc servers.

Dear all,

I want to use integrated earch toolbar on my jggrid. I want to modificate your PHP-MYSQL code but i do not understand about this especially with the bold:

$wh = "";
$searchOn = Strip($_REQUEST['_search']);
if($searchOn=='true') {
$sarr = Strip($_REQUEST);
foreach( $sarr as $k=>$v) {
switch ($k) {
case 'id':
case 'invdate':
case 'name':
case 'note':
$wh .= " AND ".$k." LIKE '".$v."%'";
break;
case 'amount':
case 'tax':
case 'total':
$wh .= " AND ".$k." = ".$v;
break;
}
}
}

Could you help me to explain the logic of this syntax, please????

Thank for your help

Regards,

Candra
