SocomNegotiator Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well I have surfed around and I can not find a thing that will work. I am trying to find a simple tutorial or something on how to create a site search engine in php. I need it because the user will have a page where they need to search for items...and based on the name they search for it will give results. I just can't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joquius Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 PHP is not a system for storing and retrieving data. What you need is to either: (1) Store all your page content in a MySQL database and then search that with the help of PHP. (2) Use Python to make a cache of all the pages on the site, and this search this cache (much like Google). I wouldn't use PHP to do a scheduled caching of a site, you can but I think it's better to use Python for stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
