PHP Help: PHP Tutorials

i have some electronic books. if you want pm me. i can simply give you the link for it. Good Luck. Let me know, i will do my best to help you out.

do u want site search (internel) or externel search (means google/yahoo will search ur site)?

if answer is- internel search (it would be implicit or explicit search),

{option one - A} internel implicit search - u could use some free script. Such as, if u familiar with Cpanel of linux hosting, u should found Entrophy search, which will implicitly search your html page content creates a plain output. PHP search script zoom is execellent. install it and test it. Excellent.

{option one - B} internel implicit search - if u use any CMS, then it has ability to search ur content from storage {either DB or XML file} and u can custom it in your own needs.

{option one - B} internel explicit search - u could manage ur contents by ur own script. if u use DB like MySQl, then u could store ur page contents in DB Text field. And there is a query for text search is FULL TEXT search.

example :
select * from ur table where match(title, body) against ('my input search')

you can tune this query fine and speed it up than general LIKE % operator. You could get details from MYSQL.

And if you use XML, then u should learn XQuery/XPath/XLink.


{option two - A} externeal search: u should submit ur pages to search engines. U could do search engine submission to 100 engines at a time from - The most dependable Yellow Page in Bangladesh

now tell me which type of script u have need?

Thanks,
