Search Code Not Reading Table

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am trying to write the code the read a search form however it is not reading my table 'productdbase' to return any results.

 

I can echo from this table so I know it works but so far it just returns "Your search for 'Keyword' returned no results" as per below.

 

Can anyone advise please.

 

 

$results = "SELECT 'description', 'fulldescription'  FROM 'productdbase' WHERE $where";

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['keywords'])){
$keywords = mysql_real_escape_string (htmlentities(trim($_POST['keywords'])));
}

$errors = array();

if (empty($keywords)) {
$errors[] = 'Please enter a search term';
} else if (strlen($keywords)<3) {
$errors[] = 'Your search must be three or more characters';
} else if (search_results($keywords) === false) {
$errors[] = 'Your search for '.$keywords.' returned no results';
}

if (empty($errors)) {

search_results ($keywords);

} else{
foreach($errors as $error) {
echo $error, '</br>';
}
}


    ?>


<?php
function search_results ($keywords) {
$returned_results = array();
$where = "";

$keywords = preg_split('/[\s]+/', $keywords);
$total_keywords = count($keywords);

foreach($keywords as $key=>$keyword) {
$where .= "'keywords' LIKE '%$keyword%'";
if ($key != ($total_keywords - 1)) {
$where .= " AND ";

}
}


$results = "SELECT 'description', 'fulldescription'  FROM 'productdbase' WHERE $where";
$results_num = ($results = mysql_query($results)) ? mysql_num_rows($results) : 0;

if ($results_num === 0) {
return false;
}else{
echo 'something found.';
}




}
?>

Thanks,

 

I have tried changing lots areas without any luck.  Is this area I need to change.  I tried it without the single quotes, with double quotes and with no quotes.

 

$results = "SELECT 'description', 'fulldescription'  FROM 'productdbase' WHERE $where";
$results_num = ($results = mysql_query($results)) ? mysql_num_rows($results) : 0;
