How to modify the search engine?

Hello to everyone!

I use this code for my search engine:

<?php
$search_array = array('usluga', 'branza', 'price', 'doradca');
$where = array();
foreach ( $search_array as $search ) {
  $value = JRequest::getVar($search, '' , 'post');
  if ( $value ) {
    $where[] = " $search LIKE '%$value%' ";
  }
}
if ( !empty($where) ) {
  echo " WHERE ".implode(' AND ', $where);
}?>

I don't know how to change it if I want to search 'price' between two values from two input boxes? You know, I want to find all records with prices between 100$ and 500$...

I'm not a webmaster.

Please help me.
Thank You in advance!

Hi Creamdealer,

Add these extra line to the where box

$min_value = JRequest::getVar('min_value, '' , 'post');
if ( $min_value ) {
    $where[] = " `value` > '$min_value'";
}
$max_value = JRequest::getVar('max_value, '' , 'post');
if ( $max_value ) {
    $where[] = " `value` <= '$max_value'";
}

You'll need to change min_value, max_value & value to match whatever the inputs and columns are called in your form and table.

Thank You very much Bob, but I still have some problems. I made smth like this:

<?php
$search_array = array('usluga', 'branza', 'kwota', 'doradca', );
$where = array();
$min_value = JRequest::getVar('kwota', '' , 'post');
if ( $min_value ) {
    $where[] = " 'min' > '$min_value'";
}
$max_value = JRequest::getVar('kwota', '' , 'post');
if ( $max_value ) {
    $where[] = " 'max' <= '$max_value'";
}
foreach ( $search_array as $search ) {
  $value = JRequest::getVar($search, '' , 'post');
  if ( $value ) {
    $where[] = " $search LIKE '%$value%' ";
  }
}
if ( !empty($where) ) {
  echo " WHERE ".implode(' AND ', $where);
}?>

But it doesn't work. When I use search, the values "kwota" are the same...

Hi CreamDealer,

You have straight quotes '' round max and min, in my version they are backticks `max` `min`

You may need t check the logic too.

OK, Thank You VERY VERY MUCH!

Now it sorts but it sorts alphabeticaly. So if I search beetween 1500 and 3000 it shows me 199 too...

What can be wrong?

Hi CreamDealer,

Are the values all integers?
