live search with Jquery
- by user272899
Hello! I am trying to implement a live search on my site.
I am using a script somebody has already created. http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/03/live-mysql-database-search-with-jquery/
I have got the Jquery, css, html working correctly but am having troubles with the php.
I need to change it to contain my database information but everytime I do I recieve an error:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\search.php on line 33
These are the details of my database:
database name: development
table name: links
Columns: id, sitename, siteurl, description, category
This is the php script
<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "password";
$dbname = "links";
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
mysql_select_db($dbname);
if(isset($_GET['query'])) { $query = $_GET['query']; } else { $query = ""; }
if(isset($_GET['type'])) { $type = $_GET['type']; } else { $query = "count"; }
if($type == "count")
{
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT count(url_id)
FROM urls
WHERE MATCH(url_url, url_title, url_desc)
AGAINST('$query' IN BOOLEAN MODE)");
$total = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$num = $total[0];
echo $num;
}
if($type == "results")
{
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT url_url, url_title, url_desc
FROM urls
WHERE MATCH(url_url, url_title, url_desc)
AGAINST('$query' IN BOOLEAN MODE)");
while($array = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$url_url = $array['url_url'];
$url_title = $array['url_title'];
$url_desc = $array['url_desc'];
echo "<div class=\"url-holder\"><a href=\"" . $url_url . "\" class=\"url-title\" target=\"_blank\">" . $url_title . "</a>
<div class=\"url-desc\">" . $url_desc . "</div></div>";
}
}
mysql_close($conn);
?>
Can anybody help me input this database info correctly? I have tried many times but keep getting an error. Thanks in advance.
