Easy Problem but cant work it out - please help :/

[idweb]

Hi there.

I have a simple form on a web page one input box is called search_area

the value is passed to a php script and is related to this statement


if(!empty($_GET[search_area]))
{
$query[] = "cpt_listings.state = '$_GET[search_area]' ";
}

So what ever is typed into search_area will be searched in the database for a result. I think.

The problem i have is i would also like it to search or another result which is below.


if(!empty($_GET[search_area]))
{
$query[] = "cpt_listings.city = '$_GET[search_area]' ";
}

I can use them both independently but not at the same time as one cancels out the other.

Basically if some one types in a word that matches either city or state i would like the results to be both not one or the other.

Thanks
Colin

$query[] = "cpt_listings.city = '$_GET[search_area]' OR cpt_listings.state = '$_GET[search_area]'";

You would need to use a string $query instead of an array and conctinate both queries together. eg;

[code=php:0]
if(!empty($_GET[search_area]))
{
  $tmp = "cpt_listings.state = '$_GET[search_area]' ";
}
if(!empty($_GET[search_area]))
{
  $tmp .= " AND cpt_listings.city = '$_GET[search_area]' ";
}
$query[] = $tmp;
[/code]

Without seeing how the rest of your query is put together its hard to give a better example, but that shoudl give you the idea.

[idweb]

Wow fast replies. Thank you

I tried the one from AndyB

And if i search for city it works great. If i search for State I get the same property result all the way down the page duplicated.

eg

www.angliapropertydirect.co.uk

top right search box labeled (Town)

strings i am using are.    city = norwich  and state = costessy.

Thanks guys for your help

[idweb]

Thanks Thorpe

Iv tried the code you have written and it does not produce any errors but it does not for some reason produce any resuts.

Can i provide any more information ?

Thanks Again

Colin :)

[idweb]

Hi again.

Would it help if I posted all the code that handles the search ?

Thanks

[idweb]

Any one else got any ideas ?

Thanks

[ignace]

I am confused.., why do you twice check if the variable is not empty?

[code]
if (!empty(..

if (!empty(..

// Just put it together,
// Also I don't think that your arrays are gonna be parsed this way, well it didn't work for me...
// So therefore its better you make sure they aren't included in the quotes
// Also using your $query as an array is not a really good idea, therefore you might wanna use
$select = "SELECT ...";
$from = "FROM ...";// Something in this order and later on just glue it! $sql = $select . $from . $where . $query ..
$query = "cpt_listings.state = '" . $_GET[search_area] . "' AND cpt_listings.city = '" . $_GET[search_area] . "' ";
// If no results turn up by this one, try OR instead of AND
// Hope this helps..
[/code]

But hey that are just my thoughts.. whatever floats your boat :d

[idweb]

Hi there Thanks for the reply.

So what code do you think i should use im a lil nooby do you have something I could paste in ?

Thanks Again

Thanks Guys

[idweb]

Anyone got any ideas ?

Thanks

[idweb]

Anyone can help ?

[idweb]

If i use this

[code]$query[] = "cpt_listings.state = '$_GET[search_area]' or cpt_listings.city = '$_GET[search_area]'";[/code]

It sort of works where it will display the town ok if i search for costessy in the search box but if i put in norwich which is a town i get 16 or 17 duplicate results for each property.

Does anybody know why this is ?

Thanks

Colin

[redarrow]

when you get duplicates means that the loop is somewere not stoped or in wrong postion.

[idweb]

Heh i just dont know there or how to stop it looping.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance    Colin

[redarrow]

post the code you got know ok.
