[SOLVED] Search

Recommended Posts

Okay I am trying to make a simple search feature were I am joining two columns in my table to pop out a simple response. However I can't get it to recognize what I'm trying to do. The issue is it keeps telling me it can't find the search phrase even though I am searching for items I know are in the table.

 

Here is the code. Help Please!!

 

<?php require "../_admin/config.php"; ?>
<?php 

$phrase = array_key_exists('phrase', $_POST) ? trim(stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['phrase']))) : '';

if(empty($phrase)){

   echo "\n".'<p>No words placed in the search box.	</p>';

}else{

   // SQL injection prevention (double quote mark is allowed here but should probably be disallowed)

   $phrase = strtr($phrase, ',/\*&()$%^@~`?;', '               ');

   $phrase = trim($phrase);

   $phrase = str_replace('#180', '', $phrase);

   echo "\n".'<p>Searching for <i>'.htmlspecialchars($phrase).'</i>... </p>';

   $key = 'text_index';

   // Beware of the re-definition of $s in this query.

   $phrase = html_entity_decode($phrase, ENT_QUOTES);

   $res = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db($db) or die(mysql_error());

if(!($res =mysql_query(
	'SELECT `page_id` AS s, `link` AS c, `vid_title`, `vid_desc`, `hidden` 
         FROM `'.$opts['videos'].'` 
            WHERE `hidden` <> "1" AND 
               MATCH(`vid_title`, `vid_desc`) 
                  AGAINST ("'.$phrase.'") 
                     LIMIT 10'
                        ))){ 

      echo "\n".'<p>No results for: <i class="red">'.$phrase.'</i></p>';

   }else{

      if(mysql_num_rows($res) == 0){

         echo "\n".'<p>The search engine cannot find the page you are looking for.</p>';

         echo "\n".'<p>This could be because it could not find any pages containing <i>'.$phrase.'</i>';

         echo "\n".'<p>Alternatively, it might have found too many pages, and could not decide which one you wanted.</p>';

      }else{

         $i = 0;

         while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){

            $s = substr(stristr(strip_tags($row['vid_title']), $phrase), 0, 120);

            if($s == ''){

               $s = substr(strip_tags($row["vid_desc"]), 0, 120);

            }

            $i++;

            echo "\n".'<p>'.$i.'.) <a href="results.php?page_id='.$row['s'].'">'.htmlentities($row['c']).' - '.htmlentities($row['vid_title']).'</a> ... '.$s.'...</p>';

         }

      }

   }

   // Save searches to monitor user activity

   $phrase_qry = sprintf("INSERT INTO vs_searches (page_id, phrase, ip) VALUES ('', '%s', '%s')", addslashes($phrase), addslashes($ua['ip']));

   if(!($phrase_res = mysql_query($phrase_qry))){

      $opts['error_msg'] .= 'Insert failed for search phrase'."\n".$phrase_qry."\n";

   }

}

?>
