Hi Guys fallowing is code for search form. Here what the problem is
the query
SELECT * FROM bulk_register WHERE ".$field." LIKE'%".$find. "%'";
not returning any Result.
plz tell me whre the error is.
<?php
if(isset($_POST[ 'search'] ))
{
echo $_POST['field' ];
$find=$_POST[ 'find'];
$field=$_POST[ 'field'];
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form
if (isset($_POST[ 'searching' ]))
{
echo "<h2>Results< /h2><p>";
//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
}
// Otherwise we connect to our Database
mysql_connect( "localhost" , "root", "") or die(mysql_error( ));
mysql_select_ db("bulksms" ) or die(mysql_error( ));
// We preform a bit of filtering
//$find = strtoupper($ find);
//$find = strip_tags($ find);
$find = trim ($find);
echo "find is".$find."< br>";
//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$query="SELECT * FROM bulk_register WHERE ".$field." LIKE'%".$find. "%'";
echo "query is".$query;
$data = mysql_query( $query);
//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_ array( $data ))
{
echo $result['firstname' ];
echo " ";
echo $result['lastname' ];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['mobile' ];
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
}
//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives
them a little message explaining that
$anymatches= mysql_num_ rows($data) ;
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br> ";
}
//And we remind them what they searched for
echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find;
}
}
?>
<h2>Search</ h2>
<form name="search" method="post" action="searchform. php">
Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in
<Select NAME="field" >
<Option VALUE="firstname" >First Name</option>
<Option VALUE="lastname" >Last Name</option>
<Option VALUE="mobile" >Mobile</ option>
</Select>
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
