The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Ajax Autocomplete using PHP/MySQL and Arrays

Asked by kevandju in PHP and Databases, JavaScript

I am using PHP and MySQL to insert rows into my database.  I have a textbox that I want to use autosuggest with a drop down box.  I have the code working fine when I only have one row that I am working with, when I use an array because I have multiple rows that I am inserting it breaks the autocomplete and I'm not quite sure how to modify the script so it works.

Below is the code from my addstuff.php page and then pasted below that is the code from callsign_search.php.

-- This is code from addstuff.php --
 
		<td align="left"><input type="text" id="hlp_callsign" class="form" name="hlp_callsign[]" size="12" value="">
		<div id="hint"></div>
		<script type="text/javascript">	
			new Ajax.Autocompleter("hlp_callsign","hint","callsign_search.php");
		</script></td>
 
-- This is callsign_search.php code --
 
<?
	require_once ('./includes/mysql_connect.php'); //connect to the databse
 
	$query = "SELECT Call_Sign FROM gn_stage.stg_stations WHERE Call_Sign LIKE '" . $_POST['hlp_callsign'] . "%' ORDER BY Call_Sign ASC LIMIT 10";
	$result = @mysql_query ($query); //run the query on the db
	
?>
 
<ul>
<? while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { ?>
  <li class="hint"><? echo stripslashes($data['Call_Sign']);?></li>
<? } ?>
