making a search selection box


izzy

Recommended Posts

I'm making a search section for my site.
What i would like is a pulldown menu were visitors can selct a price range for their search in the database.
I already have a search that works, but now i would like them to be able to search i a price range.

The prices for objects are in my database
and the pulldown would look like this
for example:

make a selection...
0 - 10
10 - 20
20 - 30
30 - 40
40 - 50
50 - more


how can i write the script to do this.
What would be different than a normal search script?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could use select form... for example

<form method="post" action="someaction.php">
<select name="price_range">
<option> 0-10 </option>
...
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit">

and in your php code you could write

<?

if (isset($_POST['price_range'])) {
$range = $_POST['price_range'];
etc...
}

?>



well... hope this helps

make you select box like this:
<form method="post" action="someaction.php">
<select name="price_range">
<option value="1"> 0-10 </option>
<option value="2"> 10-20 </option>
<option value="3"> 20-30 </option>
<option value="4"> 30-40 </option>
<option value="5"> 40-50 </option>
<option value="6"> 50-60 </option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit">

and then, in the form target you do if's to set the variables of the values, example:
if ($price_range == 1){ $value1="0"; $value2="10"; }
if ($price_range == 2){ $value1="10"; $value2="20"; }
...
then you have the correct value range in the variables and use those in the select.
