Multiple search terms

Hi,

 

I have the script below which works fine when searching 1 term (city). Now what I like to do, it's to search through multiple terms, so how can I pass one term after the other into the $url so I can get the result for each term on the same page. Ideally I'd like to be able to read a txt file with all the terms (cities).

<?phpinclude_once 'simple_html_dom.php';$search_term = "paris";$url = "http://www.domain.net/annuaire/?TypeServices=0&VilleLieu={$search_term}&annusearch=1&Chercher=Chercher";$html = file_get_html($url);$ret =  $html->find('div[class=Annuaire-int]');foreach($ret as $story)    echo $story;?>

Thanks,

I've tried the following but I can only display the information for Paris:

 

<?phpinclude_once 'simple_html_dom.php';$search_term = array( "lyon", "cannes", "paris" ); foreach ($search_term as $search_term) {   $url = "http://www.pole-emploi.fr/annuaire/?TypeServices=0&VilleLieu={$search_term}&annusearch=1&Chercher=Chercher";}$html = file_get_html($url);$ret =  $html->find('div[class=Annuaire-int]');foreach($ret as $story)    echo $story;?>

Your loop doesn't do anything except define a variable called $url, so after that loop finishes $url will have the last item in the array. You should move the code to use that URL into the loop so that you do everything you need to do for each URL inside the loop.

Just think about what you're trying to do. You have a list of terms. For each term, you want to build a URL, get the contents of that URL, find an element on the page, and then print it. Just listen to how you describe it in English, "for each term...", it's just like the code. Your code has a foreach loop, but the only thing the loop does is build a URL. You don't get the page and find the element until after the loop. All of that code needs to be inside the loop.

<?phpinclude_once 'simple_html_dom.php';$search_term = array( "lyon", "cannes", "paris", "marseille" );for($i=0;$i<count($search_term);$i++){  $city = $search_term[$i];  $url = "http://www.pole-emploi.fr/annuaire/?TypeServices=0&VilleLieu={$city}&annusearch=1&Chercher=Chercher";$html = file_get_html($url);$ret =  $html->find('div[class=Annuaire-int]');foreach($ret as $story)    echo $story;}?>
