search a directory on my site

[derekm]

Nothing returns results. I assume you have 3 files being searched right now?


The code above should work, if the system is setup correctly (sending the form, etc). However, try changing this:
if (isset($_POST['search']) )
to:
if (isset($_POST['term']))

See if that helps.

I did what you said above and still got

Warning: strpos(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/d/e/r/derekm806/html/ordinances.php on line 69

Warning: strpos(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/d/e/r/derekm806/html/ordinances.php on line 69

Any Suggestions or am I totally screwed

Could any of the files have no content?

If so, that could be the reason you are getting the empty message.

Make this line: if (!strpos($search,file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file))) continue;
This:
$fc = file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file)
if ($fc == '') continue;
if (!strpos($search,$fc)) continue;

Ok I did what you said but now the page will not load and all that i see is a this

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/content/d/e/r/derekm806/html/ordinances.php on line 69

Just so I know we are on the same page the only thing I needed to change in the code below is the dir in print_r(searchfiles($_POST['term'], 'ord')); //set mydocs to your directory

<?php
function searchfiles($search,$dir) {
$results = array();
$n=0;
$opendir = opendir($dir);
while ($file = readdir($opendir)) {
if (in_array($file,array('.','..','otherfile.ext','....'))) continue;
//leave '.' and '..', and add any other files to skip... but try to keep mostly only searched files in this directory
if (!strpos($search,file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file))) continue;
$array[$n] = $file;
$n++;
}
return $array;
}


if (isset($_POST['term'])) {

print_r(searchfiles($_POST['term'], 'ord')); //set mydocs to your directory
//$search must be the text to match
}

else {
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST">
Search Term: <input type="text" name="term"> <input type="submit" name="search">
</form>
<?php
}
?>

You should use the new lines of code that I added, to error correct if a file IS empty. However, there was a typo. I forgot a semicolon at the end of a line.
$fc = file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file);

[derekm]

$fc = file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file)
if ($fc == '') continue;
if (!strpos($search,$fc)) continue;

Does the above code need to be exactly like it looks or on one line

[djr33]

That's right. But again, it's missing a semi colon. Add that to the first line, like in my last post.

after doing the above i am not getting no warning now;

Now I am getting a refreshed page with no form to fill out?
What next
????????
I know I am probably getting on your nerves sorry
