dimko Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have this part of the code: for($number_words_loop = 0; $number_words_loop < $number_words; $number_words_loop++) { $value1 .= 'AND a.adtitle RLIKE \'[[:<:]]' . $words[$number_words_loop] . '[[:>:]]\''; $value2 .= 'AND a.addesc RLIKE \'[[:<:]]' . $words[$number_words_loop] . '[[:>:]]\''; } And I want to combine $value1 and $value2, so the code should look something like this: for($number_words_loop = 0; $number_words_loop < $number_words; $number_words_loop++) { $value .= 'AND a.adtitle RLIKE \'[[:<:]]' . $words[$number_words_loop] . '[[:>:]]\' OR AND a.addesc RLIKE \'[[:<:]]' . $words[$number_words_loop] . '[[:>:]]\''; } In the first code, first it checks $value1 and then $value2 one by one, and that way it checks if both of them contain all the words that are put in the search field. What I need is to check if all the words that are put in the search field are contained in the one OR in the another. I want to make it search through both of them at the same time, but I don't know how to put correctly that OR I put in the second example. So any professional help will be appreciated. Here is an example of what I mean: If the Ad has this: Ad Title: nokia phone on sale Ad Description: brand new, unpacked, with 16gb memory card included. and if someone searches for nokia sale it will show the ad, because all the search words are contained in the Ad Title. Also, if the search is brand unpacked it will also show the ad, because all the search words are contained in the Ad Description. But, the problem is if someone searches for nokia brand This way, the word nokia is not contained in the Ad Description, and the word brand is not contained in the Ad Title, so the ad will not be shown. So, I only need a way to put that OR correctly to connect those two values, just like the second code, but in the right way. Thanks in advance.
