Code Help

[Bob Norris]

Hi,

 

New to PHP but could anybody help me adjust this code so the first search result opens in a new window? Right now the script opens a list of matches within itself but I really need it to open just the first match. Id be willing to provide a free subscription to our service if someone can help.

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

search.php:

in order to get your script to open in new window change this line

 

$navigation .= "    <a href=\"" .
        	                            htmlentities(preg_replace('/&p=\d*/','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) .
        	                            "&p=$i\">$i</a> \n";

 

 

to this

 

$navigation .= "    <a href=\"" .
        	                            htmlentities(preg_replace('/&p=\d*/','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) .
        	                            "&p=$i\" target='_blank'>$i</a> \n";

 

notice i've add a 'target' attribute to the link..with the value of '_blank'

 

this tells the browser that we want this open on a new window.

oops that code is for the NEXT and previous buttons

 

this below is what you should change:

 

 $body .= "    <h3><a href=\"$page_result->url\">" .
                         (($page_result->title) ? $page_result->title : $page_result->url) .
                         "</a></h3>\n" .

changed:

 $body .= "    <h3><a target='_blank' href=\"$page_result->url\">" .
                         (($page_result->title) ? $page_result->title : $page_result->url) .
                         "</a></h3>\n" .

 

as far as only one result

 

try playing with this value

 

$search_flex                 = 1;

 

keep incrementing until only one result gets returned

 

did you purchase this script?

Hi,

 

Thank you I will try it. If it does what I need I will purchace it. I have some of their other software and its pretty good. If this works do you want a free site chatter for your website? www.sitechatters.com  (NOT AN ADVERTIZMENT)

[ag3nt42]

sure that would be kwl

[Bob Norris]

Hey,

 

Didnt work, came up blank

Use serach term Joan

 

[JasonLewis]

What? Joan returned items for me, what is supposed to happen?

Hi,

 

I changed back the script without the target. I want it to open just the first result in a window 

[JasonLewis]

Automatically? You could use javascripts window.open to do this.

Hi,

 

I circumvent the flash screen and just use the url like this: http://www.sitechatters.com/search.php?q=Joan

 

It returns several results depending on the search term ( search.php?=whatever )

 

My AI can do a website search depending on the users input IE: "Search for joan"  The then open the new window containing the query. I want that window to be the first result of the search page results

[ag3nt42]

when i did a search only one search result was returned.. out of 2 possible

Yes so,, I want it to go to the actually first result page.

 

If you search Joan it returns first the Softwares page (because I have not bought it yet) and another about Joan. So if it did what I want it would open their page as its first in the results.

ic.. ok..

 

well you'll need to you javascript for that I blieve..

 

you'll need to pick up that address returned by the search and use js to auto open a window.. to that address

Ok, Any ideas?

[Bob Norris]

Anybody?

[ag3nt42]

i don't know how you will get the address to JS from your flash but..

 

basically i guess you could use the $_GET method and attach

 

?link=address

then in php say 

if(isset($_GET['link']))
{
 $link=$_GET['link'];
}

 

//then to put it in the JS

<?php
echo("
<script>

window.open.location.href=' ".$link." ';

</script>
");
?>

something like that..

something like that..

 

 

 

Everything is done through the search.php The flash is just a form that I wont use

[ag3nt42]

well the same still applies..

 

only difference is you might be able to use _POST but _GET will work just fine.

[Bob Norris]

So,

 

me not being a coder,, where would I put all this?

 

[ag3nt42]

something like this would have to wait until I got home from work.. :-\

[Bob Norris]
