  1. I have this search script. It works great, although i'm trying to put a combo box into it and have got stuck. Can anyone help, its killing me?

    <?php
    
    
    
    $error = array();
    $results = array();
    
    // First check if a form was submitted. 
    // Since this is a search we will use $_GET
    if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
       $searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']);
       $searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript.
       
        if (strlen($searchTerms) < 3) {
          $error[] = "Search terms must be longer than 3 characters.";
       }else {
          $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection.
       }
       
       // If there are no errors, lets get the search going.
       if (count($error) < 1) {
          $searchSQL = "SELECT id, title, description, location, jobtype FROM jobs WHERE ";
          
          // grab the search types.
          $types = array();
          $types[] = isset($_GET['title'])?"`title` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":'';
          $types[] = isset($_GET['description'])?"`description` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":'';
          $types[] = isset($_GET['location'])?"`location` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":'';
          
          $types = array_filter($types, "removeEmpty"); // removes any item that was empty (not checked)
          
          if (count($types) < 1)
             $types[] = "`description` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'"; // use the description as a default search if none are checked
    
    
          
    	  $andOr = isset($_GET['matchall'])?'AND':'OR';
          $searchSQL .= implode(" {$andOr} ", $types) . " ORDER BY `title`"; // order by title.
    
          $searchResult = mysql_query($searchSQL) or trigger_error("There was an error.<br/>" . mysql_error() . "<br />SQL Was: {$searchSQL}");
          
          if (mysql_num_rows($searchResult) < 1) {
             $error[] = "The search term provided {$searchTerms} yielded no results.";
          }else {
             $results = array(); // the result array
             $i = 1;
             while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) {
                $results[] = "{$i}: {$row['title']}<br />{$row['description']}<br />{$row['location']}<br /><br />{$row['jobtype']}<br /><br />";
                $i++;
             }
          }
       }
    }
    
    
    
    function removeEmpty($var) {
       return (!empty($var)); 
    }
    ?>

     

    and here is the html with the combo box named jobtype:

     

    <?php echo (count($error) > 0)?"The following had errors:<br /><span id=\"error\">" . implode("<br />", $error) . "</span><br /><br />":""; ?>
          <form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" name="searchForm">
             Search For: <input type="text" name="search" value="<?php echo isset($searchTerms)?htmlspecialchars($searchTerms):''; ?>" /><br />
             Search In:<br />
             Title: <input type="checkbox" name="title" value="on" <?php echo isset($_GET['title'])?"checked":'checked'; ?> /> | 
             Desc: <input type="checkbox" name="description" value="on" <?php echo isset($_GET['description'])?"checked":'checked'; ?> /> | 
             location: <input type="checkbox" name="location" value="on" <?php echo isset($_GET['location'])?"checked":'checked'; ?> /> | 
             <br />
                     Match All Selected Fields? <input type="checkbox" name="matchall" value="on" <?php echo isset($_GET['matchall'])?"checked":''; ?>><br /><br />
    
    
    			 <select name="jobtype">
    			 <option value="">All</option>
    		  	 <option value="Temporary">Temporary</option>
    		 	 <option value="Permanent">Permanent</option>
    		 	 </select>
    
             <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search!" />
          </form>
          <?php echo (count($results) > 0)?"Your search term: {$searchTerms} returned:<br /><br />" . implode("", $results):""; ?>
    

     

    Any help will be a great help
