gorgon2k Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 OK guys so I have my final project for school due next quarter and Its a database management application. I'm dont the upload edit delete scripting but now I need to do the search feature on the front end. I have a basic understanding of the search abilities in PHP but what i'd love to do is create something like Istockphoto.com and many other inventory sites that allow for a "search" field and also a filter. I'd assume there needs to be global variables that will set and adjust the query as things are checked or filled out. does anyone know of any examples/tutorials/demos that I can browse to start figuring this out? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230757-help-or-point-me-in-the-right-direction-search-and-filter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflow Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 play around with the basic search query you want and loop through the results add the filter parameters into the query with simple booleans Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230757-help-or-point-me-in-the-right-direction-search-and-filter/#findComment-1187974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgon2k Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I guess logically I was thinking to do it all on one page and have variables that will populate if filters are active and will then go into the loop. It seems easy logically but I'm sure it'll get harder when I try it, haha Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230757-help-or-point-me-in-the-right-direction-search-and-filter/#findComment-1187990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
