Advanced Search...again

Recommended Posts


Does anybody have experience with coding an advanced search?

 

Like with using multiple fields for the search.

 

Here is my most updated code now the page goes blank when I do a search...I sort of got help last time, but no:

 

Also here is the page that the search menu is on: http://devel.ecountrylifestyle.com/green_thumb_gardener/resources/facilities.php?fac=A

 

<?php
//connect
include('../../includes/PHP/globals_db.inc');
$dbconn = mysql_connect($ecl_database_server, $ecl_username, $ecl_password) or die(mysql_error());
$select = mysql_select_db($ecl_database, $dbconn) or die(mysql_error());
//------------

//first lets make an array of letters A-Z
$alpha = array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "Y", "Z");

$links_top = "";
foreach ($alpha as $links) {
$links_top .= "<a class = \"checklist\" href = 'facilities.php?fac=$links'>";

if ($links == "Z") {
	$links_top .= "$links</a>";
} else {
	$links_top .= "$links</a> | ";
} //end if
} //end if

if (!isset($_GET

)) {
$page = 1;
} else {
$page = $_GET

;
} //end if

$max_results = 10;

$from = ($page * $max_results);

if (isset($_POST[submit])) {
session_destroy();
//start the query statement for the search fields-starting with key word for default
$query = "SELECT * FROM pub_gardens WHERE facility LIKE '%$_POST[key_word]%'";

//if the user selects a type of facility from drop down menu, add on to the query string
//also make sure the first value of the drop down for the facility selection isnt the first
if ($_POST[type] != "Type of Facility") {
	$query .= " OR type = '$_POST[type]'";
} //end if

//if the user selects a state from drop down menu, add on to the query string
//also make sure the first value of the drop down for the state selection isnt the first
if ($_POST[state] != "State") {
	$query .= " OR state = '$_POST[state]'";	
} //end if

//if the user types in a city in the city field from the form, add on to the query string
if ($_POST[city] != "") {
	//make sure the default value isnt "City" before adding on to the string
	if ($_POST[city] != "City") {
		$query .= " OR city LIKE '%$_POST[city]'";
	} //end if
