I am copying my code from a working copy I have running. No errors with the code, it works perfectly as a stand alone.
I tried to create a Wordpress page template per the instructions in the Wordpress Codex.....
Here is the issue. My script works perfectly as its own page, but when I put it into the template and hit search...the index.php comes up instead of the search results. Any ideas?
Code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Browse ExBriefs
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<h2>Search</h2>
<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in
<Select NAME="field">
<Option VALUE="first">First Name</option>
<Option VALUE="last">Last Name</option>
<Option VALUE="city">City</option>
<Option VALUE="state">State</option>
<Option VALUE="country">Country</option>
<Option VALUE="gender">Gender</option>
</Select>
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</form>
<?PHP
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form
if ($_POST[searching] =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>";
//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($_POST[find] == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
}
// Otherwise we connect to our Database
include("dbinfo.inc.php");
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
// We preform a bit of filtering
$find = strtoupper($_POST[find]);
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$data=mysql_query("select * from contacts where ".$_POST[field]." like '%".addslashes($find)."%'");
//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{
echo $result['first'];
echo " ";
echo $result['last'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['city'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['state'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['country'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['gender'];
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
}
//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that
$anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, there is no Ex-Brief for <b>\"$find\"</b> yet
Please try again.<br><br>";
}
}
?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
