The following page contains a simple static content search I put together for a website this morning quite quickly - in under an hour total time: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/intergritas/search.php And the two parts of the page that contain code are the following - added comments in here: <?php //this function is the only bit of code went looking for on 'net and copied in here function page_title($url) { $fp = file_get_contents($url); if (!$fp) { return null; } $res = preg_match("/<title>(.*)<\/title>/siU", $fp, $title_matches); if (!$res) { return null; } // Clean up title: remove EOL's and excessive whitespace. $title = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $title_matches[1]); $title = trim($title); return $title; }//end of page_title function //create empty array to then populate $arResults = array(); //check if search form was submitted if (isset($_POST["q"])) { //split search terms up into array using space character $arTerms = explode(" ", $_POST["q"]); //retrieve an array of all .php files to search in site root $arFiles = glob("*.php"); //loop through resulting file names foreach ($arFiles as $file) { //exclude two purely functional file names if ($file != "mailer.php" && $file != "search.php") { //retrieve file contents, and strip them of all tag/code content line by line $f = fopen($file, "r"); $sBody = ""; while ($sLine = fgetss($f)) { $sBody .= $sLine . " "; }//end of looping through file contents //split file body content into it's own array based on space characters $arBody = explode(" ", $sBody); //compare search term array with each files contents, and if there are matching terms, add file to result array if (count(array_diff($arTerms, $arBody)) < count($arTerms)) { array_push($arResults, $file); }//end of checking for terms matching body }//end of excluding certain files }//end of looping through files //initialise new result output array $arResultsOutput = array(); //if there were matching pages, add them to output array if (count($arResults) > 0) { foreach ($arResults as $result) { //push them into arResultsOutput array with file and title key-value pairs array_push($arResultsOutput, array("file"=>$result, "title"=>page_title($result))); }//end of looping through arResults }//end of processing resulting file names }//end of checking for form submission ?> //and the piece of the page output that renders the search results: <?php //output search results - if arResultsOutput array has elements in it if (count($arResultsOutput) > 0) { echo "<ul>\n"; //for each resulting array element foreach ($arResultsOutput as $result) { echo "<li><a href=\"" . $result["file"] . "\">" . $result["title"] . "</a></li>\n"; }//end of looping through arResultsOutput echo "</ul>\n"; } else { echo "No search results found"; } ?> Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'
