RE: [PHP] search engine

hehe, And while they are at it, could that same person please tell me how to achieve world domination with just a sponge, toothpick and some gum???? hehe sorry Brandon I just couldn't resist... your going to have to get a little more specific on your questions... we cant write the script for you.... What are you searching for? pages on your site? MP3s in your database? Everything on the web??? If you are doing the last one, then I would suggest you stop here.... if your asking this question, then you don't understand that this can take LOTS of time and money... There are scripts out there now that will allow you to do this. Not sure of any off the top of my head, but someone will know, check www.hotscripts.com . However, the other two are fairly simple... you will need a database table with the page name, and list of keywords for that page.... then do something like this... SELECT pagePath FROM searchEngine WHERE keyWords LIKE '$key_Word_User_Entered' It's LIKE or IN.... I never remember which... (someone set me strait here.) your form would be a 1 or 2 field form, one for the users search, the other maybe a drop down list of possible categories to search in.... (Rap, Country...., Pets, Sports.......) this would be to narrow the search... but as always with PHP.... someone has written this already,... again, check hotscrips.
