Custom Search Form

[marcusm]

I've looked at quite a few search different search options but I can't really find what i'm looking for. What I am needing is to be able to search for ranges (price) and a certain location. For example apartment searches.

 

I would need to search lets say MIN: 500     Max: 1,400  as well as ZIPCODE: 99999

 

and have the results come up.

I'm very new to php so I won't be able to write the code from scrath, i can however do quite a bit once I have the basics to go off of.

 

I appreciate any and all help!

Are these products located in a database?  You should set up the form in HTML and submit it to a PHP page (usually itself for easy error handling) and you're going to need a firm grasp of SQL queries to get the desired results.  Have you built any of the form yet?

I guess let me explain my exact idea first.

 

This is for a real estate company that is wanting a generic looking site for people to search for apartments. The idea is to only show their properties... just depending on location and what was searched.

 

Would making a searchable database be the best idea?

 

Ideally if I could have them put a zipcode in and just pull up certain "pre made" pages that would work to. idk..
