vardaloupas Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I found this amazing tutorial and i try to change it for a different database, but when i do a search it never finds anything. <?php $dbHost = 'localhost'; // localhost will be used in most cases // set these to your mysql database username and password. $dbUser = 'root'; $dbPass = '123'; $dbDatabase = 'ergasia2'; // the database you put the table into. $con = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to MySQL Server. Error: " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($dbDatabase) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to database {$dbDatabase}. Error: " . mysql_error()); // Set up our error check and result check array $error = array(); $results = array(); // First check if a form was submitted. // Since this is a search we will use $_GET if (isset($_GET['search'])) { $searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']); $searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript. if (strlen($searchTerms) < 3) { $error[] = "Ο όρος αναζήτησις πρέπει να είναι έχει περισσότερους από 3 χαρακτήρες."; }else { $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection. } // If there are no errors, lets get the search going. if (count($error) < 1) { $searchSQL = "SELECT Fname, Surname, StreetName, status FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE "; // grab the search types. $types = array(); $types[] = isset($_GET['Fname'])?"`Fname` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":''; $types[] = isset($_GET['Surname'])?"`Surname` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":''; $types[] = isset($_GET['StreetName'])?"`StreetName` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'":''; $types = array_filter($types, "removeEmpty"); // removes any item that was empty (not checked) if (count($types) < 1) $types[] = "`sbody` LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'"; // use the body as a default search if none are checked $andOr = isset($_GET['matchall'])?'AND':'OR'; $searchSQL .= implode(" {$andOr} ", $types) . " ORDER BY `stitle`"; // order by title. $searchResult = mysql_query($searchSQL) or trigger_error("There was an error.<br/>" . mysql_error() . "<br />SQL Was: {$searchSQL}"); if (mysql_num_rows($searchResult) < 1) { $error[] = "The search term provided {$searchTerms} yielded no results."; }else { $results = array(); // the result array $i = 1; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($searchResult)) { $results[] = "{$i}: {$row['stitle']}<br />{$row['sdescription']}<br />{$row['sbody']}<br /><br />"; $i++; } } } } function removeEmpty($var) { return (!empty($var)); } ?> <html> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>My Simple Search Form</title> <style type="text/css"> #error { color: red; } </style> <body> <?php echo (count($error) > 0)?"The following had errors:<br /><span id=\"error\">" . implode("<br />", $error) .

Maq Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Output your query to see what it actually is. It doesn't find a result, does anything actually happen?
