Drumlegend Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Currently I am able to pull the recipe name from the recipe table but I want to be able to grab the ingredients required from the ingredients table. I know it's to do with JOINS but I'm new to JOINS. This is the ingredients table This is the recipeingredients table, this has two primary keys so I am able to assign multiple ingredients to one recipe This is the recipe table This is the search script <?php $query = $_GET['query']; // gets value sent over search form $min_length = 3; if(strlen($query) >= $min_length){ $query = htmlspecialchars($query); $query = mysql_real_escape_string($query); // makes sure nobody uses SQL injection $raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM recipes WHERE (`recipename` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`ingredients` LIKE '%".$query."%')") or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){ // $results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results) puts data from database into array, while it's valid it does the loop echo "<p>Recipe:".$results['recipename']."</p><p>Ingredients:".$results['ingredients']."<p>Instructions:".$results['instructions']."</p>"; // posts results gotten from database(title and text) you can also show id ($results['id']) } } else{ // if there is no matching rows do following echo "No results"; } } else{ // if query length is less than minimum echo "Minimum length is ".$min_length; } ?> This is the sample data from the ingredients table This is the sample data from the recipeingredients table This is sample date from the recipe table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
