| 01:57.40 | rapid_dave | hey guys, can I get some fresh eyes on this? http://pastebin.com/WZE2601x My web page tells "Notice: Undefined index "search" on line 10" |

| 02:10.45 | DexterTheDragon | rapid_dave: you didn't pass a search param on the get |
| 02:10.47 | herlo | rapid_dave: what is the queary |
| 02:10.51 | herlo | on the url line |
| 02:10.57 | herlo | *query |
| 02:11.06 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: :) same thought here |
| 02:11.19 | rapid_dave | actually, i get the error the moment i try to load the page. |
| 02:11.55 | herlo | rapid_dave: you would unless your url looked something like http://yoursite.com/search.php?searche=somevalue |
| 02:12.04 | herlo | s/che=/ch=/ |
| 02:12.49 | rapid_dave | i'm just typing "http://localhost/bookstore/search.php" |
| 02:13.04 | herlo | rapid_dave: you need to type ?search=x at the end |
| 02:13.06 | DexterTheDragon | yep so the $_GET array is empty |
| 02:13.20 | rapid_dave | hrm, the weird thing is this is a book example. |
| 02:13.26 | herlo | that's what the $_GET grabs is those parameters at the end |
| 02:13.47 | herlo | rapid_dave: well, tell the book it's wrong |
| 02:13.48 | DexterTheDragon | rapid_dave: most php developers ignore those errors which is bad style |
| 02:13.49 | herlo | :P |
| 02:13.51 | rapid_dave | they're making it seem like the page should load and let you pass a value through the <input type="text"> |
| 02:14.07 | herlo | rapid_dave: it will, after you put the ?search=val |
| 02:14.30 | herlo | assuming nothing else is wrong :) |
| 02:16.02 | rapid_dave | http://localhost/bookstore/search.php?search=this+is+a+test |
| 02:16.06 | rapid_dave | now my web page is blank |
| 02:16.20 | herlo | rapid_dave: what do your logs say? |
| 02:17.21 | DexterTheDragon | its supposed to be blank |
| 02:17.31 | rapid_dave | when i try to launch the wamp error log it says it doesn't exist "would you like to create a new one?" |
| 02:17.31 | DexterTheDragon | line 13 |
| 02:17.38 | rapid_dave | so i assume there isn't a big crash there |
| 02:18.37 | DexterTheDragon | actually nothing is print that form html |
| 02:18.46 | DexterTheDragon | s/print/printing/ |
| 02:19.30 | rapid_dave | ok, so this search page should have a text box and a sumbit button. i know how to get the results sent through $_GET to print the output on a new page. so how do i set this up so i can see my text box and submit button, and pass the search back to the original page to display the results? what's wrong in my pastebin? |
| 02:20.59 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: but is $search null?? |
| 02:21.12 | DexterTheDragon | herlo: thats why I said nothing is printing it |
| 02:21.57 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: oh, haha, right |
| 02:22.22 | DexterTheDragon | rapid_dave: http://pastebin.com/APNC7i2z |
| 02:22.38 | herlo | rapid_dave: all you need to do is put this on line 14 in place of what you have there |
| 02:22.41 | herlo | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:23.03 | herlo | or do what DexterTheDragon did, it's nicer :) |
| 02:23.15 | herlo | *much* nicer |
| 02:23.16 | DexterTheDragon | herlo: please don't encourage html string printing :) |
| 02:23.20 | herlo | lol |
| 02:23.28 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: just trying to get it to work |
| 02:23.43 | herlo | simplest solution that could possibly work, that's my motto :) |
| 02:24.27 | rapid_dave | DexterTheDragon:thanks :D |
| 02:25.35 | rapid_dave | thanks for the tip on closing up the php and then putting out the raw html. much cleaner than the stupid (' ') the book is using. |
| 02:33.34 | rapid_dave | also had to modify line 20. <form action="<?php echo($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])?>" method="GET"> |
| 02:37.20 | DexterTheDragon | whoops yeah |
| 02:39.03 | rapid_dave | DexterTheDragon:why aren't these functionally equivalent? http://pastebin.com/Ugf9arD7 |
| 02:39.49 | DexterTheDragon | if you don't pass search in the query string then $_GET["search"] is undefined |
| 02:41.02 | rapid_dave | oh, so in the way you wrote it, the if statement is actually stopping execution of the call to $_GET["search'] |
| 02:41.37 | DexterTheDragon | yeah, I check to see if that index is in the array and if so I set it to $search |
| 02:42.15 | rapid_dave | ugh, stupid book. thanks again! |
