PHP Search on web pages

[gnawz]

Hi

Anyone knows PHP or HTML or can provide code on searching content in webpages that are not database-driven and display results?

So: write your own code for this function and, when running into problems or having questions about it, come back here and we will try to help.

Hi

I do not have any code for searching web pages. I only have code that performs searches in a MySQL database.

Please hlep.

But you are supposed to write the code yourself. Copying scripts from someone else does not help you in any way. When you are looking for someone to write your code you better place an ad in the Jobs section of this site or look for a professional programmer to do the job for you.

I need a search that SEARCHES INFORMATION ON THE SERVER (WEB PAGES). not information held in the database
Below is my search code:[php]<?
if ($searching =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Result s</h2><p>";

//If search is empty
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>Please enter your search criteria";
exit;
}
//Connecting to the database
$dbConn = mysql_connect ($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or die ('MySQL connect failed. ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($dbName) or die('Cannot select database. ' . mysql_error());
// Filtering
$find = strtoupper($fin d);
$find = strip_tags($fin d);
$find = trim ($find);
$search = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM users WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'") ;
//Results
while($result = mysql_fetch_arr ay( $search ))
{
echo $result['fname'];
echo " ";
}
//
$Notfound=mysql _num_rows($sear ch);
if ($Notfound == 0)
{
echo "No record matches yur search<br><br>" ;
}
echo "<b>You searched For:</b> " .$find;
}
?>[/php]

I see your question and the answer is still the same. Adapt your code to search for webpage items and we will help you when you run into problems. But we do not write your solution for you.

But you'll have to start coding yourself.

I have no idea how to search in webpages without involving the database and I do not want to use the free google search. In life, there is something we all do not know and need help on how to go about it. I always get help from this forum and I thought proponents of open source programming make it easier for the languages to grow.
I do not want anyone to write code for me. I thought I would get hints on how to go about it.

It seems I am not going to be helped this time round.

Thanks a lot but I do not want to use the free searches available.
I want to have my own search.

What about seeing if you can (and are allowed to) alter their code to customize it. Without using databases you will have a hard time. This is no small task, and you will need to do 90% of the work, and we will help with the 10% that you can't do.
