Hi there everyone,

 

Im hoping someone out there can help me find what i have been searching for , for a while now,

 

i need a script that will search my website and bring up the pictures of the query, its a retail store and i would like to give the option to my clients to find certain products, for example "dolls" , they enter the word and all the dolls come up that are in my directory

 

Can someone help me ?

 

Thank you

Well it depends, are you going about this by searching a mysql database? Else wise the script would be very easy to come up with on your own.

There is a searching script available online. You may get one that you want. Since your site looks like a e-commerce site, then you download OS Commerce for free. It is written using PHP. A complete e-commerce site.

Do you have a database?

Are you using XML?

I am a noob, but I am pretty sure you need to have and index to search.  I would have a database with the pictures linked to the product information page.  You then could do a search of the database index of your choice and then return all the results.  I haven't yet built a php search like this but I believe that this is where you need to go. Good luck. Hope my little input could help you get started or spark conversation...
