Greetings All! New to PHP, and trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can for a client. I have been following some of Tutorials i understand most of it, but I still don't understand a few of the functions.
Anyways, here is my problem. I am trying to combined the two tutorials (Pagination and Search Internal) but I seem to have myself in a loop...
Code is as follows:
<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","~~~~");
$db = mysql_select_db("~~~");
$button = $_GET['submit'];
$search = $_GET['search'];
if ($button)
{
if (strlen($search)<=0)
echo "Please enter a keyword";
else
{
//explode our search terms
$search_exploded = explode(" ",$search);
foreach($search_exploded as $search_each)
{
//construct query
$x++;
if ($x==1)
$construct .= "keywords LIKE '%$search_each%' OR vid_state LIKE '%$search_each%' OR users LIKE '%$search_each%' OR title LIKE '%$search_each%'";
else
$construct .= " OR keywords LIKE '%$search_each%' OR vid_state LIKE '%$search_each%' OR users LIKE '%$search_each%' OR title LIKE '%$search_each%'";
}
//eco out construct
$construct = "SELECT * FROM video_url WHERE $construct";
$run = mysql_query($construct);
$foundnum = mysql_num_rows($run);
//max display per page
$per_page = 3;
//get start variable
$start = $_GET['start'];
//count records
$record_count = $foundnum;
//count max pages
$max_pages = $record_count / $per_page; //may come out as decimal
$pagenumbers = intval($max_pages) + 1;
if (!$start)
$start = 0;
//setup previous and next variables
$prev = $start - $per_page;
$next = $start + $per_page;
//show prev button
if (!($start<=0))
echo "<a href='searchvideos.php?start=$prev'><img src='../images/texts/previous.png' border='0'></a> ";
//show next button
if (!($start>=$record_count-$per_page))
echo " <a href='searchvideos.php?start=$next'><img src='../images/texts/next.png' border='0'></a>";
//set variable for first page
$i=1;
for ($y=0;$y<$record_count;$y=$y+$per_page)
{
if($start!=$y)
echo " <a href='searchvideos.php?start=$y'><span class='searchtext'>$i</span></a>";
else
echo " <a href='searchvideos.php?start=$y'><span class='searchtext'> <font size='+1'><b>$i</b></font></span></a>";
$i++;
}
//show page numbers
echo " / <font color='#FF6600' size='-1'>$pagenumbers</font>
</td>
<td align='right' width='50%'>
<form action='../pages/searchvideos.php' method='get'>
<span class='searchtext'>Search Videos</span> <input name='search' type='text' value='by Keywords, Title, Name, or State' size='35' /><input type='submit' name='submit' value='search' />
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<br /><br /><div class='videotitle'><span class='createtext'> Videos </span></div>
<br /><br />";
if ($foundnum==0)
echo "No results found.";
else
{
echo "$foundnum results found!<br><br>";
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM video_url ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $start, $per_page");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
//while ($numrows = mysql_fetch_assoc($run))
{
$title = $row['title'];
$url = $row['url'];
$state = $row['vid_state'];
$users = $row['users'];
echo "
<table bgcolor='#191919' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' background='../images/videobgs.png' align='center'>
<tr>
<td width='10px'></td>
<td width='440px' height='370px' rowspan='6'>
$url
</td>
<td width='340px' align='left'>
<span class='createtext'>$title</span><hr />
$users<br />
$state
</td>
<td width='5px'></td>
</tr>
<tr><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td> </td></tr>
</table><br />";
}
}
}
}
?>
I know my code is dirty, and I have a lot to learn, and that I should probably be doing this a different way, but please try to correct the way I have it.
Anyways..first page loads great, the search works great, the pagination works as it should (correct pages, correct page numbers, etc.). However, once I click on the "next" or the next "number" the next page is blank because the very first if statement throws a kink in my code...
if ($button) - when continuing to the next page, a "$button" is not pressed and therefore doesn't continue the code, leaving the page blank.
Any clues on how to fix this? I have tried combining the two in many different ways, this is the best i got so far...
Thanks in advance,
Phantaz
