Autosuggest loadFromServer in PHP

Question

Hi everybody,
i'm working on a database with right now 2500 records and
it's growing, i have to use the autosuggest and it works.
I adapted the adobe example to do this but it takes about 10
seconds to load the database at page load and this everytime it
loads it wich should be often...
i try to adapt the load from server behaviour but no luck to
work with my php requests...
i give you that:
<div id="productMenuContains"
spry:region="dsProducts5">
<div spry:repeat="dsProducts5"
spry:suggest="{name}">{name}</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var as5 = new
Spry.Widget.AutoSuggest("productSampleContains",
"productMenuContains", "dsProducts5", 'name', {loadFromServer:
true, urlParam: 'prd'});
</script>
AND my xml php request
<?php require_once('../Connections/advert.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType,
$theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue)
: $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ?
mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) :
mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) .
"'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue :
$theNotDefinedValue;
break;
return $theValue;
$hostname_conn = "localhost";
$database_conn = "pubs_gm";
$username_conn = "root";
$password_conn = "";
$conn = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn, $username_conn,
$password_conn) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
<?php
// Query the database and get all the records from the Images
table
mysql_select_db($database_advert, $advert);
$query_rsImages = "SELECT
`nom_image`,`ID_image`,`fichier_image`FROM tbl_images ";
$rsImages = mysql_query($query_rsImages, $advert) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_rsImages = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsImages);
$totalRows_rsImages = mysql_num_rows($rsImages);
// Send the headers
header('Content-type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-control: private');
header('Expires: -1');
?>
<?php echo('<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?>'); ?>
<products>
<?php if ($totalRows_rsImages > 0) { // Show if
recordset not empty ?>
<?php do { ?>
<product>
<category><?php echo $row_rsImages['ID_image'];
?></category>
<name><?php echo $row_rsImages['nom_image'];
?></name>
<boximage><?php echo
$row_rsImages['fichier_image']; ?></boximage>
</product>
<?php } while ($row_rsImages =
mysql_fetch_assoc($rsImages)); ?>
<?php } // Show if recordset not empty ?>
</products>
<?php
mysql_free_result($rsImages);
?>
AND the xml structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
- <products>
- <product>
<category>148</category>
<name>Asperges blanches</name>
<boximage>asperges_blanches.jpg</boximage>

structure

Answer 1

I'm not very clear about the problem you try to describe here
but I will try to explain what I understood. Please correct me if I
am wrong.
You have this script that extracts all the records from a
database table and export them into an XML. You want to send
through an URL parameter "prd" the text entered in the autosuggest
field and the XML answer will contain just the records that
contains this text in the image name.
The only change I think you'll have to make in this situation
is to transform this line:
$query_rsImages = "SELECT
`nom_image`,`ID_image`,`fichier_image`FROM tbl_images ";
into
$query_rsImages = "SELECT
`nom_image`,`ID_image`,`fichier_image`FROM tbl_images WHERE
nom_image LIKE
'%".empty($_GET['prd'])?"not_a_real_image":GetSQLValueString($_GET['prd'],
'text')."%'";
I didn't had the chance to test this code but basically this
is how it should be done.
