PHP - Question About Modifying Search Results Page
I would like to modify my php script where my PDF search results would not only display the company name, the country, but also display a limit number link by pages so that not all of the results are shown.
I also want the first word searched to go to the first occurrence of the word on the PDF document. What would be the best way to do this? Here is my code: <html> <head></head> <body> <?php if (!isset($_POST['q'])) { ?> <img src="/wvb-logo-slogen.png" border="0" /> <h2>Search</h2> <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>"> <input type="text" name="q" size="30" /> </form> <?php } else { ?> <img src="/wvb-logo-slogen.png" border="0" /> <h2>Search Results</h2> <?php try { // create object // $swish = new Swish('/usr/local/apache/htdocs/swish/index.swish-e'); $swish = new Swish('/var/www/html/pdf2/index.swish-e'); // get and run query from command-line $queryStr = htmlentities($_POST['q']); $result = $swish->query($queryStr); ?> Found <?php echo $result->hits; ?> match(es) for '<?php echo $queryStr; ?>'. <?php // iterate over result set // print details for each match while($r = $result->nextResult()) { ?> <p> <?php echo $r->swishreccount; ?> <strong> <a href="<?php echo '/pdf2', ltrim($r->swishdocpath, '.') ; ?>"> <?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?> </a> </strong> (sco <?php echo $r->swishrank; ?>) <br/> <?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?> </p> <?php } } catch (Exception $e) { die('ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage()); } } ?> </body> </html> Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Edited by mac_gyver, 15 May 2014 - 08:17 AM. code tags please Similar TutorialsHi Everyone,
I have a question about pagination. I have this code that I would like to incorporate into my php file.
This is said code that will be incorporated:
try { // Find out how many items are in the table $totalItems = $databaseHandle->query(' select count(*) from tableName ')->fetchColumn(); // Set how many items per page to display $limit = 10; // find how many pages are needed $totalPages = ceil($totalItems / $limit); // Find out which page we are on $currentPage = min($totalPages, filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array( 'options' => array( 'default' => 1, 'min_range' => 1, ), ))); // Calculate the offset for the query $offset = ($page - 1) * $limit; // Some information to display to the user $start = $offset + 1; $end = min(($offset + $limit), $total); // "back" link $prevlink = ($page > 1) ? '<a href="?page=1" title="First page">«</a> <a href="?page=' . ($currentPage - 1) . '" title="Previous page">‹</a>' : '<span class="disabled">«</span> <span class="disabled">‹</span>'; // "forward" link $nextlink = ($page < $pages) ? '<a href="?page=' . ($page + 1) . '" title="Next page">›</a> <a href="?page=' . $totalPages . '" title="Last page">»</a>' : '<span class="disabled">›</span> <span class="disabled">»</span>'; // Display the paging information echo '<div id="paging"><p>', $prevlink, ' Page ', $currentPage, ' of ', $totalPages, ' pages, displaying ', $start, '-', $end, ' of ', $totalItems, ' results ', $nextlink, ' </p></div>'; // Get the results. Paged query $stmt = $databaseHandle->prepare(' select * from tableName order by name limit :limit offset :offset '); // Bind the query params $stmt->bindParam(':limit', $limit, PDO:: PARAM_INT); $stmt->bindParam(':offset', $offset, PDO:: PARAM_INT); $stmt->execute(); // Results? if ($stmt->rowCount() > 0) { $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $iterator = new IteratorIterator($stmt); // Display the results foreach ($iterator as $row) { echo '<p>', $row['name'], '</p>'; } } else { echo '<p>No results could be displayed.</p>'; } } catch (Exception $e) { echo '<p>', $e->getMessage(), '</p>'; }and this is what is in my php file: <html> <head></head> <body> <?php if (!isset($_POST['q'])) { ?> <img src="/wvb-logo-slogen.png" border="0" /> <h2>Search</h2> <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>"> <input type="text" name="q" size="30" /> </form> <?php } else { ?> <img src="/wvb-logo-slogen.png" border="0" /> <h2>Search Results</h2> <?php try { // create object // $swish = new Swish('/usr/local/apache/htdocs/swish/index.swish-e'); $swish = new Swish('/var/www/html/pdf2/index.swish-e'); // get and run query from command-line $queryStr = htmlentities($_POST['q']); $result = $swish->query($queryStr); ?> Found <?php echo $result->hits; ?> match(es) for '<?php echo $queryStr; ?>'. <?php // iterate over result set // print details for each match while($r = $result->nextResult()) { ?> <p> <?php echo $r->swishreccount; ?> <strong> <a href="<?php echo '/pdf2', ltrim($r->swishdocpath, '.') ; ?>"> <?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?> </a> </strong> (sco <?php echo $r->swishrank; ?>) <br/> <?php echo $r->swishdocpath; ?><br /> <?php $file = '/var/www/html/active_colist.csv'; $fh = fopen($file, 'r'); $companies = array(); $row = fgetcsv($fh, 1024); // ignore header while ($row = fgetcsv($fh, 1024)) { $companies[$row[0]] = array('company' => $row[1], 'country' => $row[3]); //changed line } fclose($fh); //Split a filename by . $filenames = explode(".", $r->swishdocpath); //get 3 chars from $filenames to $country $wvb_number = substr($filenames[1],1,12); $country = substr($filenames[1],1,3); echo 'Country: '.$companies[$wvb_number]['country']."<br />"; //echo 'Country Name: '.$country."<br />"; //$filenames[2] = explode(".", $r->swishdocpath); $year = substr($filenames[2],0,4); echo 'Year: '.$year."<br />"; //$filenames = explode(".", $r->swishdocpath); //$wvb_number = substr($filenames[1],1,12); echo 'WVB Number: '.$wvb_number."<br />"; echo 'Company Name: '.$companies[$wvb_number]['company']; //echo 'Country: '.$companies[$wvb_number]['country']; ?> </p> <?php } } catch (Exception $e) { die('ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage()); } } ?> </body> </html>My question is what would be the best way incorporate this into my php file so that I am able to display a limit number link by page so that not all of the results are listed on the same page? If that is even possible. I'm ready for the next step on my site, which is learning how to filter results down with a second search. The scenario is: A viewer searches for a plant by 4 variables to describe the leaf. After submit, they go to the results page, with 200 paginated results. (This is where I've gotten to) Now, on that same page, they choose to further narrow their results by searching those 200 results for plants that have purple flowers. Maybe they get 40 results and can use another variable to narrow further - and so on. What's the best way to set this up? I've been looking into temporary tables, but it seems to be a challenge because the table deletes the moment they leave that page or close the connection? Sessions seem like another possibility, but I read there's security issues. What's the best way to set this up? Just re-query the database with the entire set of variables from both the first and second searches? is it quicker to build some type of permanent table with a timestamp that I can use to delete it after the user has gone away? Hello. I am having a hard time building my own search results page for my mysql database. Basically I am trying to search for game categories from the fldCategory field in the table, and display 15 results at a time in an HTML table with the Image of the games (fldIconMedium), and the titles of the games (fldTitle) placed in to the table. Also, at the bottom of the table would have a number bar that you can click on numbers to go to the next set of search results in the same page. The number bar would have Previous and Next button. For the code I am using, I had help from another expert. I thank him, but here is the code I have so far. =========================== =========================== <?php $cat=1; $nor=15; $a=1; if(isset($_GET['cat'])) { } else { $_GET['cat']=1; } echo $_GET['cat']; $con=mysql_connect("host","nusername","password") or die ("error"); $db=mysql_select_db("database",$con) or die("Database not found!"); $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die ("query error"); echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>ImageIcon</th><th>Title</th></tr>"; $r=mysql_num_rows($result); echo $r."<br/>"; $p=ceil($r/$nor); //echo $p; while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if($a>($_GET['cat']-1)*$nor) { echo "<tr><td>".$rows['fldIconMedium']."</td><td>".$rows['fldTitle']."</td></tr>"; } $a=$a+1; } echo "</table>"; for($i=1;$i<=$p;$i++) { if($i==$_GET['cat']) { echo $i; } else { echo "<a href='gameslist.php?cat=".$i."'>".$i."</a>"; } } ?> =========================== =========================== To see this code in action, heres the link http://netroxy.com/gameslist.php?cat=skills. > Not working well. I am expecting the games search results page to look like this: http://netroxy.com/51274581336/search.htm So basically its: - viewing how many games found for game category, ex: Skills. Or Action, Mind, etc.. - the URL containing 'gameslist.php?cat=' with the given ID category at the end should search for that given category and display at least 15 games per results, along the number bar bellow, which counts how many are found from that category, which automatically increases or decreases the number bar bellow depending how many games from that specific category was found. I also forgot to mention that I did not add the Previous and Next button, which i dont know how - As for the 15 results per page, its basically 15 images (fldIconMedium) of different games of the same category, with their Titles (fldTitle) underneath them and both image and title should have the LINK to that specific game by retrieving the links from the 'fldLink' column where all the links of the games are found. Thanks all! Hi all, I need your help as I have got a problem with display the 50 rows in the search results. I want to limit 50 rows in per page and if I have less than 50 rows like 21 rows in the page 2 then display the 21 rows. I have got a problem with the limit, because when I tried to use `LIMIT 0, 50`, it will display total 71 rows which I only want to display no more than 50 in per page. Here is what I have tried: $search_mailbox = $link->prepare("SELECT * FROM $folder WHERE from_email LIKE ? OR subject LIKE ? OR message LIKE ? ORDER BY received_date DESC LIMIT 0, 50"); $search_mailbox->execute([$searchemail, $searchsubject, $searchmessage]);
$search_mailbox = $link->prepare("SELECT * FROM $folder WHERE from_email LIKE ? OR subject LIKE ? OR message LIKE ? ORDER BY received_date DESC LIMIT $offset, $limit"); $search_mailbox->execute([$searchemail, $searchsubject, $searchmessage]);
Here is the full code:
<?php // Initialize the session session_start(); //Connect to the database require_once('config.php'); $searchemail = '%' . 'gmail.com' . '%'; $searchsubject = '%' . 'gmail.com' . '%'; $searchmessage = '%' . 'gmail.com' . '%'; $mailbox = $link->prepare("SHOW TABLES"); $mailbox->execute(); $folders = array(); $total = 0; $total_rows = 0; $i = 0; while ($folder = $mailbox->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) { $folder = $folder[0]; if (strpos($folder, 'users') !== false) { $folder = str_replace('users', '', $folder); } else { $folders[$i] = $folder; } $i++; } foreach($folders as $folder) { $search_mailbox = $link->prepare("SELECT * FROM $folder WHERE from_email LIKE ? OR subject LIKE ? OR message LIKE ? ORDER BY received_date DESC LIMIT 0, 50"); $search_mailbox->execute([$searchemail, $searchsubject, $searchmessage]); if ($search_mailbox->rowCount() > 0) { $total += $search_mailbox->rowCount(); } } $page = 1; $limit = 50; //$per_page = 50; //$pages = ceil($total / $per_page); $offset = ($page - 1) * $limit; foreach($folders as $folder) { $search_mailbox = $link->prepare("SELECT * FROM $folder WHERE from_email LIKE ? OR subject LIKE ? OR message LIKE ? ORDER BY received_date DESC LIMIT $offset, $limit); $search_mailbox->execute([$searchemail, $searchsubject, $searchmessage]); if ($search_mailbox->rowCount() > 0) { foreach($search_mailbox->fetchAll() as $k => $row) { $email_number = $row['id']; $search_from = $row['from_email']; $search_subject = $row['subject']; $total_rows++; echo $search_subject . '.........................' . $total_rows; echo "<br>"; } } } ?> I am unable to fetch the first 50 rows in the page 1 and I am also unable to fetch the 21 rows in the page 2. What I am trying to achieve is when I am in page 1, I want to display the first 50 rows, then in the page 2 if I have another 50 rows then display the 50 rows, but if I have less than 50 rows like 21 rows then display the 21 rows. Can you please show me an example how I can start with first 50 rows when I am in the page 1 then in page 2 display 21 rows to make in total 71 rows? Any advice would be much appreicated. Thanks in advance. Hi I'm new to the site... and new to PHP, so excuse me if my verbiage isn't quite right. I've been struggling to find a solution to paging through my search results. MY code works for the first five entries that are found via the mysql query but when I click next five results, the code breaks down and sends me back to my index. I believe the problem is he print " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&poster=$var\">Next 5 >></a>  "; I don't know how to rewrite, to display results based on the number of pages found. Ideally the user should be able to query the db and then page through the results. my entire code: Code: [Select] <?php // Get the search variable from URL $var = @$_GET['poster']; $trimmed = trim($var);//trim whitespace from stored variable // rows to return $limit=5; // check for empty string and display a message. if ($trimmed == "") { echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>"; } else { // check for a search parameter if (!isset($var)) { echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>"; exit; } //connect to your database $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test") or die('Sorry, could not connect to server'); mysql_select_db("recipe", $con) or die('Sorry, could not connect to database'); //Build SQL Query $query = "Select date, poster, title, article FROM bulletin WHERE poster LIKE \"%$trimmed%\" order by articleid desc"; $numresults=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults); if ($numrows == 0) { echo "<h4>Results</h4>"; echo "<p>Sorry, your search: "" . $trimmed . "" returned zero results</p>"; } else // next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0 if (empty($s)) { $s=0; } // get results $query .= " limit $s,$limit"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query"); // display what the person searched for echo "<p>You searched for: "" . $var . ""</p>"; // begin to show results set echo "Results"; echo "<hr>"; $count = 1 + $s ; // now you can display the results returned while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $date = $row['date']; $poster = $row['poster']; $title = $row['title']; $article = $row['article']; echo "$date"; echo "<br>\n"; echo "<img src='images/marker.png'><font color=\"white\">$poster</font><br><br>\n"; echo "$title"; echo "<br />"; echo "<br />"; echo "<font color=\"white\">$article</font>\n"; echo "<br>\n"; echo "<hr>"; echo "<br>\n"; } $currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1); //break before paging echo "<br />"; // next we need to do the links to other results if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0 $prevs=($s-$limit); print " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var\"><< Prev 5</a>  "; } // calculate number of pages needing links $pages=intval($numrows/$limit); // $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division if ($numrows%$limit) { // has remainder so add one page $pages++; } // check to see if last page if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) { // not last page so give NEXT link $news=$s+$limit; print " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&poster=$var\">Next 5 >></a>  "; } $a = $s + ($limit) ; if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; } $b = $s + 1 ; echo "<br />"; echo "<br />"; echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>"; } ?> If someone could help I would be so great full! Thanks in advance... Mod edit: [code] . . . [/code] BBCode tags added. I have a search page and everything works fine but I would like to add the latest 10 rows to the page so there is something to look at or click on before the user searches. The page is at: www.giantstridedives.com/locations. You can see that it's pretty boring. Hit submit and you'll see the entries so far (only 3 right now). I'd like to have the latest 10 display there by default but then when a user searches they are replaced by the search results. Make sense? Here's the code I'm using for the search: Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require_once('dbconnection.php'); mysqli_select_db($conn, $dbname); $searchterm = $_POST['search']; $searchterm = strip_tags($searchterm); $searchterm = trim ($searchterm); $q ="SELECT * FROM locations WHERE loc_name LIKE '%" . $searchterm . "%' AND loc_approved != '0'"; $r = mysqli_query($conn, $q) or die(mysql_error($q)); $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r); $rowcount = mysqli_num_rows($r); } ?> <h1>Search for Scuba Dive Locations</h1> <form id="searchform" name="searchform" method="post" action="index.php"> <input type="text" name="search" id="search_bar" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <span style="color: #333;">Search for the name of the location, ie: Devils Den or USS Oriskany.</span><br /> <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { if ($rowcount == 0) { echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query: <strong>$searchterm</strong>"; } else { //this tells the table below to display since $totalRows_Products_res is not 0 ?> <table style="font-size: 14px;" border="0" width="650"> <tr> <td colspan="6"><p>You searched for <strong><?php echo $searchterm; ?></strong>. Results are displayed below.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Location Name</strong></td> <td><strong>City</strong></td> <td><strong>State</strong></td> <td><strong>Depth (ft)</strong></td> <td><strong>Fees</strong></td> <td><strong>Gear Rentals</strong></td> <td><strong>Map</strong></td> </tr> <?php do { ?> <tr> <td><a href="loc_details.php?loc_id=<?php echo $row ['loc_id']; ?>"> <?php echo $row ['loc_name']; ?> </a></td> <td><?php echo $row ['loc_city']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row ['loc_state']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row ['loc_depth']; ?></td> <td>$<?php echo $row ['loc_fee']; ?></td> <td><?php if($row['loc_gear'] == 1) { echo 'Yes'; } else { echo 'No'; } ?></td> <td><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=<?php echo $row ['loc_lat'];?>,<?php echo $row ['loc_lon'];?>" target="_blank">View Map</a></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r)); ?> </table> <?php mysqli_free_result($r); } // this closes out results else } ?> I figure I can use the below query to get the results. Code: [Select] select * from table WHERE id > ((SELECT MAX(id) from table) - 10);I'm just not sure how I can display them by default and then have them be replaced by the search results. Anyone have any ideas for me? As always I appreciate the help as I continue to learn this beast. The result pages is supposed to have pagination like google help me please
Hello, I'm developing a website that asks the user to submit a keyword for a search. The results should display matches for this keyword, but also show matches for related keywords (in order of relevenace!). I'm planning on building up a library of which search terms users use in the same sessions (e.g. if someone searches for "it jobs" and "php jobs", I'll know the terms are correlated), and I'll also measure the click-through rates of the items on the results list. I've been spending all weekend trying to map out the design for this but it's proving incredibly complicated and I think the solution is likely to be on the internet somewhere already?! Please could someone point me in the right direction if you've come accross this problem before? Thanks a million, Stu What I expect: - The function to loop output all of the rows which match the search results.

Thank you for reading, Andrew. hey guys, i have a search bar i am implementing into my navmenu but keeping getting errors returned and im not sure why This is the code in my navmenu to display the search bar Code: [Select] echo '<form action="search.php" method="post">Search: <input type="text" name="term" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search"/>'; Code: [Select] Here is the php file that query's the search $term = $_POST['term']; $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); $query = mysqli_query("select * from ob_listings where subject like '%$term%' or description like '%$term%' "); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($dbc, $query)){ echo 'Subject: '.$row['subject']; echo '<br/> Date: '.$row['date']; echo '<br/> Price: '.$row['price']; echo '<br/> City: '.$row['city']; echo '<br/><br/>'; } any help is much appreciated here are the errors being returned Warning: mysqli_query() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in C:\vhosts\HeadFirst\ourbazzar\search.php on line 16 (line 16 is the $query) Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, object given in C:\vhosts\HeadFirst\ourbazzar\search.php on line 17 (line 17 is the while loop) I have a page that I am using to search a database. Basically what I want to do is allow the end user to sort by column headings after the search results are returned. The sort code that I am using works fine on a "lesser complicated" page that does not involve $_GET variables. I am not sure however if I adapted it properly. Also, I am having problems adding the new $_GET variables to the URL string when the user chooses to sort the returned search results. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I want to return search results if this returns true and the flag 'Y' is available if ($departuk == "true"){ if ($data[$i]['departuk'] == 'Y'){ $result = $obj->result; } else{ echo "do some thing else"; } else{ echo"there was a problem"; } any pointers / advice is appreciated thanks I'm new to php and been trying to follow along with different tutorials to try and build my own site, i followed a tutorial on making a search feature for the site and have it working perfectly, but i want to change the way how to search displays the results. I want to make it display them how there displayed on the index page. here is the index page how there displayed <div id="table"> <table> <tr class="top"> <th>Account</th> <th>Country</th> <th>Info</th> <th>Login</th> <th>Pass</th> <th>Price</th> <th>Buy</th> </tr> <?php $class = 'grey'; ?> <?php $items = getItems(); ?> <?php if(empty ($items)): ?> <h3>No Items Found</h3> <?php else: ?> <?php foreach($items as $item): ?> <?php $class = ($class == 'grey') ?

'<br />' . maskPass($itemPass, 0) . '<br />'; } } } my question is im not sure how to edit the search code to display the results in the same format as the index page thanks Okay, I'm wanting to do a search, but until return the info if it has a specific indicator in the chosen field. Let me show you: $query = doquery("SELECT * FROM `orgs` IF `type`='c' ORDER BY name", "orgs"); How do I do that "IF" bit? Obviously this doesn't work. Thanks! Good Evening, I've been in a trial and error state for the past week trying to figure out how I can put on the pre-made pagination scripts I found on the web, but of no luck. I have just started programming like two weeks ago, and is still trying to understand logics and stuffs so I can get my desired output. So far, everything is doing well except for one - I am really having a hard time to incorporate pagination scripts with my code. To rank myself as a php programmer, I can say I am lower than one, and seemingly, what I want to achieve is an advanced code. Can anyone help me on what pagination code I should try to play with and incorporate with my code? Here's my code so far: <?PHP include("dbconnection.php"); //Include database connection to file $query = "SELECT * FROM records"; if(isset($_POST["btnSearch"])) { $query .= " WHERE last_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' OR first_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR territory LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR job_title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR employer LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' ORDER BY territory ASC LIMIT 0,15" ; $result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die(mysql_error()); } ?> <!-- Start of table --> <table width="760" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <!-- Table data containing the Asia Logo --> <td width="199" align="center" valign="top"> <a href="login.html"> <img src="asia.gif" alt="" width="152" height="58" border="0" /> </a> </td> <!-- Table data containing Home button --> <td width="176" align="right" valign="bottom"> <a href="main.php"> <img src="Home.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </a> </td> <!-- Table data containing View Client button --> <td width="130" align="right" valign="bottom"> <img src="View.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </td> <!-- Table data containing the Add Client button --> <td width="146" align="right" valign="bottom"> <a href="add_client.php"> <img src="Add.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/> </a> </td> <!-- Blank table data --> <td width="109" align="right" valign="bottom"> </td> </table> <!-- Table design division and body--> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td width="200" height="3" bgcolor="#1B1C78"> <img src="images/topspacerblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> <td width="560" bgcolor="#0076CC"> <img src="images/topspacerlblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> <tr> <td height="500" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3FAFE"> <!-- Page contents --> <!-- Search Query --> <br> <form name="form" action="view_client.php" method="post"> <table width="351" border="0"> <tr> <td width="137" align="left" valign="middle"> SEARCH RECORD: </td> <td width="144" align="center" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="search" /> </td> <td width="56" align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" /> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <!-- End of search query--> <!-- Start of Search Results--> <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="38619E" > <tr> <th width="80" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Territory</th> <th width="330" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Employer</th> <th width="160" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Name</th> <th width="80" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#E0E8F3"> </th> </tr> <?php if($result) { for($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) { $id = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "id")); $territory = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "territory")); $employer = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "employer")); $first_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "first_name")); $last_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "last_name")); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$territory."</td>"; echo "<td>".$employer."</td>"; echo "<td>".$last_name.", ".$first_name."</td>"; echo "<td><a href='edit_client.php?id=".$id."'>edit</a> | <a href='delete_client.php?id=".$id."'>delete</a></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } } ?> </table> </form> <!-- End of page --> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <tr> <td height="38"> <table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td width="200" height="35" align="center" bgcolor="#1B1C78" class=white> <a href="disclaimer.html"> <font color="#FFFFFF">Legal Disclaimer</font> </a> </td> <td width="560" align="center" bgcolor="#0076CC"> Copyright © 2006 - 2010 Asia.

Hi, I have search form which works apart from 1 part, I have set the results limit to 10 per page with a next link if there are more than 10 results, however when the next link is clicked, i get the error 'you do not have a search parameter' which comes from this code: Code: [Select] if (!isset($var)) { echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>"; exit; } The next link is defined by the code below: Code: [Select] // check to see if last page if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) { // not last page so give NEXT link $news=$s+$limit; echo " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next 10 >></a>"; } Can anyone see where I have gone wrong with this code without me sending the whole search form? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Hi guys, A beginner at php/mysql here... For a project I'm doing, I would like to display search results with an image, small description, then a 'read more' link. After googling this issue, I can't find much information on it, which surprised me. Someone did mention blobs for images... (whatever they are!) I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials, or has any code to do this? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks. |
