Hi,
I try to use foreach to print out a part of an mysql query, but always the last one cancels the
previous one out. Please advise me on what to do:
$searchterm=$_POST['searchterm'];
if ($type) {
foreach($_POST['type'] as $type) {
$search_type = "AND type = '$type' ";
}
} else {
$search_type = " ";
}
if ($year) {
foreach($_POST['year'] as $year) {
$search_year = "AND DATE_FORMAT(dateofissue,'%Y') = '$year' ";
}
} else {
$search_year = " ";
}
if ($theme) {
foreach($_POST['theme'] as $theme) {
$search_theme = "AND keywords LIKE '%*$theme*%' ";
}
} else {
$search_theme = " ";
}
if ($geography) {
foreach($_POST['geography'] as $geography) {
$search_geography = "AND geography = '$geography' ";
}
} else {
$search_geography = " ";
}
$search_query = "SELECT * FROM library WHERE (title_en LIKE '%$searchterm%' OR
fulltext_en LIKE '%$searchterm%') $search_type $search_year $search_theme
$search_geography ORDER BY dateofissue DESC, type DESC, title_en DESC";
The original values come from a form which one fills in. So geography[] is parsed to this and it can
have one or more values. For example, if geography[]=africa and geography[]=asia, the query will
only show "AND geography=asia" as the latter comes later.
However the thing would work if I put the variable in the URL, like
thisfile.php?geography[]=africa&geography[]=asia
Can someone help me?
