multidimensional array search


<h1> said: "I wrote this script for a friend who wanted the simplest of searches for a site he was working on. Basically you specify the url, title, description and keywords in a multi-dimensional array. The searched words are then compared to the entires in the array and returns the url, title and description of the found entries. This search can be edited slightly to to a full text search. All you really need to do is place the text you want to search in an array...so if you know what you doing you could enter the contents of say a .html file into an array and search it...;) TELL me what u think. [PHP] '; } function searchresults($resultsarray,$word,$originalarray) { print "Searched phrase: $word
"; print "Search Results: (".(count($resultsarray)).") pages found."; print "

Pages:

"; // display pages for ($counter=0;$counter<(count($resultsarray));$counter++) { $temp = $resultsarray[$counter]; print "".$originalarray[$temp][1]."
Description: ".$originalarray[$temp][2]."

"; } } function search($whicharray,$word) { $numberarray = array(); $tempcount = 0; foreach ($whicharray as $number => $data) { //print $number; foreach ($data as $value) { //print $value; if ((trim(strtolower($value)) == trim(strtolower($word))) && ($tempcount > 2)) { array_push($numberarray, $number); } $tempcount ++; } $tempcount=0; } return $numberarray; } if (empty($stage)) $stage = 1; switch ($stage) { case 1: displayform(); break; case 2: $results = (search($searcharray,$searchstring)); //print $results[0]; //print $searcharray[$results][0]; if (!empty($results)) { searchresults($results,$searchstring,$searcharray); } else print "No results found for ".$searchstring; } ?> [/PHP] goto [url]http://www.exzibit.co.za/search.php[/url] to view the script in action. Search for 'home' and 'products'. This script can return more than 1 result!"
