jakebur01 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hey I have a client who is requesting this on their website: "A visitor does a job search, listings come up, then, at the bottom it has a place to submit your email if you want to be notified when more jobs that meet your search criteria are posted." I've search on Google to try to find out what you would connect to to pull the job listings. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go about doing this?

JasonLewis Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 well if you stored all the jobs in a database then you could search the database for matching or similar jobs. or you could add a keywords column and check if any of the keywords match the searched keywords. for the email, you could just make a seperate table and add there email along with what they searched. then when a new job is added in the admin panel simply run a query to check the emails if any of the keywords in the email matches the keywords for the new job. if so, dispatch an email, if not, check the other emails and so on... there is one way...

redarrow Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 do it with a timestamp from mysql. somthink like this if the time stamp of the current job they selected is less then the requested job they want. i am guessing here but makes sence. <?php $query="SELECT `jobs.critera` , `jobs.timestamp` , `requist.requst_time stamp` FROM `jobs`,`requist` where `jobs.timestamp` < 'requist.requist_tim estamp' and jobs.critera='requist.critera' "; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57512-job-search/#findComment-284587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 a rss feed wont work unless the user has there own web site some will but some wont so the database is better i think anyway.
