mysql "OR"

[ohdang888]

i think i need to use a Mysql OR statement..... But i don't know how (and google isn;t helping either)

 

I am creating a search option within my site. It searches for many things, through tags, titles, etc. So i have been using different queries for different field..

 

This is what mine is right now.

1. query for tags Like search

2. query for title Like search

etc.

 

But that is creating many duplicates results...

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

<?php
echo '<table class="main_body"><tr><td width="150">';		
// code For multiple tags
		$tags = explode(',', $search);

		//set within the varable names

		for($i=0; $i<count($tags); $i++){

	    $res[]=trim($tags[$i]);
	    }
	    
		foreach($res as $x){

	  
		   mysql_select_db("games") or die(mysql_error());
		  $result = mysql_query("SELECT `title`,`type`,`game_picture_url` FROM `game` WHERE upper(tags) LIKE upper('%$x%')  ")or die(mysql_error());  
		  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){  

		  
				 echo '<center><table width ="150px"><tr><td>';	
			   echo '<a href="game.php?title=';
			   echo $row['title'].'">';
			   echo '<IMG SRC="gamepic/';
			   echo $row['game_picture_url'];
			   echo '"'.' WIDTH="90"'.' HEIGHT="90"></a></td>';	
			   echo '<td class="search_game_info"><a href ="game.php?title=';//start of link code
			   echo $row['title'];
			   echo '">';
			   echo $row['title'];
			   echo '</a></br>';// end of link code
			   echo '(';
			   echo $row['type'];
			   echo ')</td></tr></table>';
			   
			   
			   echo '</td></tr><tr><td>';
			}

	      
		}	




	$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `game` WHERE upper(title) LIKE upper('%$search%') ")or die(mysql_error());
		while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){  
	   echo '<center><table width ="150px"><tr><td>';	
	   echo '<a href="game.php?title=';
	   echo $row['title'].'">';
	   echo '<IMG SRC="gamepic/';
	   echo $row['game_picture_url'];
	   echo '"'.' WIDTH="90"'.' HEIGHT="90"></a></td>';	
	   echo '<td class="search_game_info"><a href ="game.php?title=';//start of link code
	   echo $row['title'];
	   echo '">';
	   echo $row['title'];
	   echo '</a></br>';// end of link code
	   echo '(';
	   echo $row['type'];
	   echo ')</td></tr></table>';
	   
	   
	   echo '</td></tr><tr><td>';
	}

	echo '</td></tr></table>';
?>

Are you asking how to do it?

 

There are two ways that I know:

 

<?php
/* Way One */
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE this = 'this' OR that = 'that'");
/* Way Two */
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE this = 'this' || that = 'that'");
?>

try

foreach($res as $x) $w[] = " upper(tags) LIKE upper('%$x%') ";
$w = implode('OR', $w);		
mysql_select_db("games") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `title`,`type`,`game_picture_url` FROM `game` WHERE $w")or die(mysql_error());  
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){  
echo '<center><table width ="150px"><tr><td>';	
echo '<a href="game.php?title=';
echo $row['title'].'">';
echo '<IMG SRC="gamepic/';
echo $row['game_picture_url'];
echo '"'.' WIDTH="90"'.' HEIGHT="90"></a></td>';	
echo '<td class="search_game_info"><a href ="game.php?title=';//start of link code
echo $row['title'];
echo '">';
echo $row['title'];
echo '</a></br>';// end of link code
echo '(';
echo $row['type'];
echo ')</td></tr></table>';
echo '</td></tr><tr><td>';
}
