PHP search page problem

j8r8c8 · January 24, 2008

Anybody have any idea why this script produces a duplicate result for each keyword entered into the search form?

<html>

<?php

include ("../_borders/top.htm");

//This script searches 2 MySql fields

$address = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$hostname_logon = "****" ;

$database_logon = "****" ;

$username_logon = "****" ;

$password_logon = "****" ;

//open database connection

$connections = mysql_connect($hostname_logon, $username_logon, $password_logon) or die ( "Unabale to connect to the database" );

//select database

mysql_select_db($database_logon) or die ( "Unable to select database!" );

//specify how many results to display per page

$limit = 20;

// Get the search variable from URL

$var = @$_GET['q'] ;

//trim whitespace from the stored variable

$trimmed = trim($var);

//separate key-phrases into keywords

$trimmed_array = explode(" ",$trimmed);

// check for an empty string and display a message.

if ($trimmed == "") {

$resultmsg = "<p>Search Error</p><p>Please enter a search...</p>" ;

}

// check for a search parameter

if (!isset($var)){

$resultmsg = "<p>Search Error</p><p>We don't seem to have a search parameter! </p>" ;

}

// Build SQL Query for each keyword entered

foreach ($trimmed_array as $trimm){

// SQL Query

$query = "SELECT * FROM parts_search WHERE partno LIKE '%". $trimm ."%' OR description LIKE '%". $trimm ."%' ORDER BY partno" ;

// Execute the query to get number of rows that contain search kewords

$numresults=mysql_query ($query);

$row_num_links_main = mysql_num_rows ($numresults);

// next determine if 's' has been passed to script, if not use 0.

// 's' is a variable that gets set as we navigate the search result pages.

if (empty($s)) {

$s=0;

}

// now let's get results.

$query .= " LIMIT $s,$limit" ;

$numresults = mysql_query ($query) or die ( "Couldn't execute query" );

$row= mysql_fetch_array ($numresults);

//store record id of every item that contains the keyword in the array we need to do this to avoid display of duplicate search result.

do{

$adid_array[] = $row[ 'id' ];

}while( $row= mysql_fetch_array($numresults));

} //end foreach

if($row_num_links_main == 0 && $row_set_num == 0){

$resultmsg = "<p>Search results for:" . $trimmed ."</p><p>Sorry, your search returned zero results</p>" ;

}

//delete duplicate record id's from the array. To do this I will use array_unique function

$tmparr = array_unique($adid_array);

$i=0;

foreach ($tmparr as $v) {

$newarr[$i] = $v;

$i++;

}

// Display the results returned. But first we will display the search form on the top of the page
