Regarding paging in search

[new_to_php]

Hi ,

I am implementing search functionality for a

small set of files.

In below code: $keyword_array refers to a search string.

I am searching for a word in a file and printing on screen.All results are displayed

in a single page. Here I want to use paging , splitting results in different pages.

how it can be done ?

 

one solution could be: I will store all results in an array , make array as session variable and use paging.

problem with above is:

  1. In below code , I am displaying results as soon as I found in any file. But with above approch

I have to wait till all results are stored in an array.

  2. Paging with browser TABS is failing. Because two tabs in a browser uses same session. So the session variable in one TAB will be overwritten by the sassion variable in another TAB.

How to over come above problems ?

 

function CheckFiles($dir) { 
  $handle=opendir($dir);
  while(false!==($file=readdir($handle)))
  {
      if(is_dir("$dir/$file"))
      {
        CheckFiles("$dir/$file");
      }
      else
      {  
          $data=fread(fopen("$dir/$file","r"),filesize("$dir/$file"));
          $data=strip_tags($data);
          foreach($keyword_array as $value1) {
            if(eregi($value1,$data))
            { 
              $url ="$dir/$file";
              echo("<a href=$url > $url</a>");
              echo("<br>");
              break;
            }
          }
        }
      }
