Searching a different table


genista

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

The following script is causing me some issues. First of all the user logs in and then goes to this page to search for suppliers in their area. The suppliers are stored in a seperate table - 'suppliers.' So the problem I have is that the search is not searching the suppliers table.

The second problem is that I have made the values for each county a number and the results return the number, I need it to display the county name, have tried different ways but nothing is working, here is the script:

[code=php:0]
<?php

include_once ("config.php");

Any ideas.


Thanks

The code above doesnt search on the suppliers table, instead I get results from the users table.

The numeric values in the county are for security, but want I want is a way to get the details of the county name rather than the number.

Hope this explains...G

Ok, so I can now get the first search result to be 'clickable' and passed onto supplierinfo.php page, however the second and subsequent search results don't even appear anymore off the following code. At the bottom of the page it says 'Displaying search results 1-2 of 2, but the 2nd isnt there:
