tyweiss Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 places to startyou want to send that value in the text field to the server...so you have to submit the formunless you are going to be doing an ajax call you really don't need that onclick eventfigure what regular expressions you will useuse php to read all files in the directory if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) { echo "Directory: $handle\n"; echo "Files:\n"; while (($file = readdir($handle))) { echo "$file\n"; } closedir($handle); } within that while loop you'll need it to read through the file and search for a match to your regular expressionpersonally I stink at writing reg expressions but i'm sure some else can help you here if after reading up on them you still have a struggle with it...hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well, I got a little curious. What you need is in the PHP section. The rest just pretties it up.search.php <?php if (!empty($_POST['keywords'])) { $words = explode(" ", $_POST['keywords']); $len = count ($words); // THIS SETS THE DIRECTORY TO SEARCH IN $dirpath = '.'; $D = opendir($dirpath); if (!$D) { die ("Can't open directory"); } while ($file = readdir($D)) { if (is_file("$dirpath/$file")) { $F = fopen("$dirpath/$file", "r"); $data = fread($F, filesize("$dirpath/$file")); $counter = 0; foreach ($words as $word) { $pattern = "/\b$word\b/i"; if (preg_match($pattern, $data) ) { $counter++; } if ($counter == $len) { $filearray[] = $file; } } fclose($F); } } closedir($D); }?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } div.container { width: 400px; min-height: 95%; margin: 4% auto 0 auto; } div.results { margin-top: 2em; border: solid 1px #000000; width: 20em; min-height: 1em; padding: 12px; } h2 { margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div> <form action="search.php" method="post"> <label>Search: </label><input type="text" name="keywords"> </form> </div> <div class="results"> <h2>Results</h2> <?php if (!empty ($filearray) ) { foreach ($filearray as $value) { echo $value . '<br>'; } } ?> </div> </div> </body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
