searching site content

[sbrowse]

Hi Everyone!! I’m just getting into CSS ..HAMMERING the tutorials, it’s coming along fine but i’ve hit abit of a wall.
I want customers to be able to narrow down a search to what they want to see

eg. <make of car>
<price MIN>
<priceMAX>
<LOCATION>

then after all desired fields are selected and you click <<SEARCH>>

after that you have what your looking for. What is this called..so i know what to search for and learn how to
apply it to my site….i just dragged this off a website source, is this it? how do i get started??

any help whould be greatly appreciated..Thanks

A fine question, though I don’t have an answer for you.

To clarify, it will have nothing to do with CSS, you’ll need to learn a new acronym! You’ll probably want to dip into some PHP, though I don’t know of a "search" PHP Tutorial.

normally I would do this in PHP and use a database with a simple mysql query… like

Code:

SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE colName1 LIKE ‘%keywords_entered%’ OR colName2 LIKE ‘%keywords_entered’%

other than that, like doc, I dunno.
