Create tag cloud using PHP and Mysql
Simple and effective script to build a PHP MySQL tag cloud using Ajax for your website. Here we use PHP, Ajax and MYSQL. Tagging is now becoming an unavoidable area in website building and if you have a built in code like the one you are about to see, then it will be easy for a developer to integrate it or even customize it according to the requirement.
First and foremost we need to have MYSQL set along with the page with an html input field, the ajax part and some css for styling.
The mysql part looks like this, we are setting column name id as AUTO INCREMENT and as a PRIMARY KEY.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tags` ( `id` mediumint(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `tags` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

#data_up {
font-family:arial;

padding:25px 50px;

}

#space_me
{
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showUser(str)
{
if (str=="")
{
alert("None Give")
document.getElementById("data_up").innerHTML="No Tags Were Entered By You :-)";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("data_up").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","add_tag.php?add_me="+str,true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>

<div id="my_form">
Enter Some Tag Name And Click The Botton <input type="text" id="add_me" name="add_me">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add This Tag" onclick="showUser(document.getElementById('add_me').value)"><p>
<div id="data_up" class="clearfix">

</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
In the above html code we can see that there is a add_tag.php file. This is the file from which we establish database connectivity and Display / Add tags.
The add_tag.php file looks like this.
<style>
#data_up1

The php script uses a database with name test1 and the table used is tags
I am using two arrays to find out any extra characters.
$symbol= array(“!”,”@”,”#”,”$”,”%”,”^”,”&”,”*”,”(“,”)”,”+”,”=”.”{“,”}”,”\\”,”/”,”:”,”;”,”.”,”`”,”~”,”>”,”<",".",",");
[/php]
The advantage above is you are free to add any number of extra symbol/characters above.
You can even filter tags.
[php]
$tag_array = array("php","ajax","mysql","javascript","flash","photoshop","perl","unix","linux","java");
[/php]
Add the required tag name in this array and only those will be updated to database 🙂 .
If you want to just display the tags then use this URL [ASSUMING THE MAIN WEBPAGE IS INDEX.PHP] http://
