gladz0r Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello there I've made a script that shows database entries filtered by a searchbox. The problem is that the 2 HTTP_POST_VARS don't cooperate. For example when you choose 'Leerjaar' -> '1ste leerjaar' and 'Vak' -> 'Wiskunde' it has to show the entries of '1ste leerjaar' that have 'Vak' = Wiskunde. See the website at http://sbshasselt.be/ictco/maarten/htdocs/ Script Searchbox echo "<HTML>\n <HEAD><TITLE>Filter</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <p> <FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"index.php\"> <b>Filter op leerjaar:</b><br> <select name=\"leerjaar\" id=\"leerjaar\"> <option> </option> <option>1ste kleuter</option> <option>2de kleuter</option> <option>3de kleuter</option> <option>1ste lager</option> <option>2de lager</option> <option>3de lager</option> <option>4de lager</option> <option>5de lager</option> <option>6de lager</option> </select> <b>Vak</b><br> <select name=\"vak\" id=\"vak\"> <option> </option> <option>Taal</option> <option>Wiskunde</option> </select> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Zoeken\"> </p> </BODY> </HTML>"; Page <?php include("zoek2.php"); ?> <table width="100%" border="1"> <tr> <td width="50px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">Leerjaar</p></b></td> <td width="50px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">Vak</p></b></td> <td width="50px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">Lesonderwerp</p></b></td> <td width="50px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">Doelstelling</p></b></td> <td width="20px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">IN</p></b></td> <td width="50px" class="style7"><b><p class="style3">Media</p></b></td> </tr> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM `formulier` WHERE (`leerjaar` LIKE '%$HTTP_POST_VARS[leerjaar]%' AND 'vak' LIKE '$HTTP_POST_VARS[vak]%')"; $qSelect_berichten = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error()); while($aBerichten = mysql_fetch_array($qSelect_berichten)) { echo '<tr> <td width="50px"><p class="style4">'.$aBerichten['leerjaar'].'</p></td> <td width="50px"><p class="style4">'.$aBerichten['vak'].'</p></td> <td width="50px"><p class="style4">'.$aBerichten['lesonderwerp'].'</p></td> <td width="30%"><p class="style4">'.$aBerichten['doelstelling'].'</p></td> <td width="20px"><p class="style4">'.$aBerichten['ict'].'</p></td> <td width="30%"><p class="style4"><a href="'.$aBerichten['ict2'].'">1</a></p></td> </tr>'; } echo '</table>'; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/154849-searchbox-with-2-vars-doesnt-work-right/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You need to give your option tags a value attribute. For example: <select name = "selectfield"> <option value = "the value">The text displayed on screen</option> ... </select> The user will see the text between the opening and closing tag ("The text displayed on screen", in this example), whilst it will be the text in the value attribute that is sent to the server("the value", in this case). Oh. $HTTP_POST_VARS is depreciated(and has been for quite a while). You should be using $_POST instead.
