Searching two arrays fully and comparing

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find matching pages by searching two arrays against each other. The arrays get the keywords from the current page and others stored in a database.  I'm not very good with PHP but what I'm doing at the moment is actually working, except it's only printing one found keyword when there are more.

 

Heres what I have:

 

$q1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE category='$section' ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 5") or die (mysql_error());
$table = "the_table";

$qX = mysql_query("SELECT keywords FROM $table WHERE id='$id'") or die (mysql_error());
$rX = mysql_fetch_array($qX) or die (mysql_error());

$keywordThis = ereg_replace(" ","",$rX[keywords]);
$keywordThis = explode(",",$keywordThis);

$a = 0; $i = 0; $x = 0; $y = 0; $z = 0;

$qY = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id!='$id'") or die (mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($qY);

while ($rY = mysql_fetch_array($qY))
{
$getKeyword = $getKeyword.$rY[keywords].",";
$getID = $getID.$rY[id].",";
$getTitle = $getTitle.$rY[title].",";
$getCategory = $getCategory.$rY[category].",";
$x++;
}

$getKeyword =  ereg_replace(" ","",$getKeyword);
$getKeyword = explode(",",$getKeyword);  
$getID = explode(",",$getID);
$getTitle = explode(",",$getTitle); 
$getCategory = explode(",",$getCategory); 

while ($getKeyword[$y] != "")
{
if ($getKeyword[$y] == $keywordThis[$y])
{
	$result = $result + 1;
}
$y = $y + 1;
}

if($result < 1)
{
echo '
No similar pages found...';
}
else
{

while ($getKeyword[$z] != "")
{	
if ($getKeyword[$z] == $keywordThis[$z])
{
	echo '<div id="result_line"><a href="index.php?go='.$getCategory[$z].'&id='.$getID[$z].'" class="result" title="'.$getTitle[$z].'">'.substr($getTitle[$z],0,30).'...</a></div>';

	$result = $result + 1;
}

$z = $z + 1; 
}
}

 

Hope someone can help, sorry if the code is messy.
