In your second if you do a count on the occurence of a character,
but don't use the result, why not use strpos() directly?
Also if you just want to replace a single char with another
single char, then you might like to do like this:
$String = implode(explode($String, $OldChar), $NewChar);

And doing a bit more, I find that '=' and '-' are passing through OK so
I'll
need to train my users to use an alternative to '+'.
The choking seems to be with my parsing function, which I have pasted in
below:
=================================================
function sql_fltr($sql,$field,$input){
if(strlen($input)>0){
if( substr_count($input,"=")>0 | substr_count($input,"
-")>0 |
substr_count($input," +")>0 ){
$output = "";
$temp = str_replace(" -","|-",(str_replace("
-","|-",($input))));
$temp = explode("|",$temp);
for ($i = 0; $i <= sizeof($temp); $i++){
if (substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="*"){
$temp[$i] = $field." like
'".rtrim(str_replace("*","%",$temp[$i]))."%'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
} elseif (substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="-"){
$temp[$i] = " and ".$field." not
like
'".rtrim(str_replace("*","%",$temp[$i]))."'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
} elseif (substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="="){
$temp[$i] = " and
".$field."='".rtrim(str_replace("=","",$temp[$i]))."'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
} elseif (substr($temp[$i],0,1)!="+" &&
substr($temp[$i],0,1)!="-"&&substr($temp[$i],0,1)!="*" &&
substr($temp[$i],0,1)!="="){
$temp[$i] = "and ".$field." like
'%".rtrim(str_replace("=","",$temp[$i]))."'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
} else {
$temp[$i] = "
".$field."='".rtrim($temp[$i])."'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
}
}
$output = " AND
".substr($output,0,strlen($output)-1);
} else {
$temp = $input;
if (substr($temp,0,1)=="*"){
$temp = $field." like
'".rtrim(str_replace("*","%",$temp))."'";
} elseif (substr($temp,0,1)=="-"){
$temp = $field." not like
'".rtrim(str_replace("*","%",$temp))."'";
} elseif (substr($temp,0,1)=="="){
$temp =
$field."='".rtrim(str_replace("=","",$temp))."'";
} elseif (substr($temp,0,1)!="+" &&
substr($temp,0,1)!="-"&&substr($temp,0,1)!="*" &&
substr($temp,0,1)!="="){
$temp = $field." like
'%".rtrim(str_replace("=","",$temp))."'";
} else {
$temp = $field."='".rtrim($temp)."'";
}
$output = " AND ".$temp;
}
} else {
$output = "";
}
return $output;
}
=================================================
This works fine if the user has eneterd either no control or the *
wildcared
with the criteria.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
George
