PHP: How to use mysql fulltext search and handle fulltext search result
- by garcon1986
Hello,
I have tried to use mysql fulltext search in my intranet. I wanted to use it to search in multiple tables, and get the independant results depending on tables in the result page.
This is what i did for searching.
$query = "
SELECT *
FROM testtable t1, testtable2 t2, testtable3 t3
WHERE match(t1.firstName, t1.lastName, t1.details) against(' ".$value."')
or match(t2.others, t2.information, t2.details) against(' ".$value."')
or match(t3.other, t2.info, t2.details) against(' ".$value."')
";
$result = mysql_query($query)or die('query error'.mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo $row['firstName'];
echo $row['lastName'];
echo $row['details'].'<br />';
}
Do you have any ideas about optimizing the query and format the output of search results?
