I'm newbie in php or maybe I should say I am a amateur!
I'm going to code a simple search engine. I don't have any problem with MySQL queries and I exactly know what should I do.
My problem is how could modify sting that should be searched. I want to modify it with properties below but I don't know how:
- strip symbols unless " , . + -
- strip + or - if they are at the end of the word like "foo+ bar+"
- strip + when it means space like "foo+bar"
- aim words between "..." as one word
I found this forum my last chance
thanks for your attention and help
p.s. I don't want to use any classes and want it work in php4
