I have a webpage which contains a form, like the following:
<Form action=”search.php” method=”POST”>
<fieldset>
<legend> Enter your search below </legend>
<textarea name=”query”> </textarea>
</fieldset>
</form>
The users text is read from query
and search results are displayed using code in the following section:
if ($_POST['query'])
{
//Users query is read and results from a search API are displayed
}
The next thing that happens is that a list of synonyms are generated, stored in a multidimensional array called $synonyms
which I have displayed in a left-hand-navigation bar, using the code shown below. $newline
prints a newline (as the variable name suggests)
Example of a $synonyms
array:
array(3)
{ [0]=> array(2)
{ [0]=> string(9) "chelonian"
[1]=> string(17) "chelonian reptile" }
[1]=> array(6)
{ [0]=> string(7) "capsize"
[1]=> string(11) "turn turtle"
[2]=> string(8) "overturn"
[3]=> string(9) "turn over"
[4]=> string(8) "tip over"
[5]=> string(9) "tump over" }
[2]=> array(4)
{ [0]=> string(4) "hunt"
[1]=> string(3) "run"
[2]=> string(9) "hunt down"
[3]=> string(10) "track down" }
}
Code used to output the array:
foreach ($synonyms as $test)
{ foreach ($test as $test2)
{
echo $test2.$newline.$newline;
}
}
What I want to happen is:
Turn each synonym into a clickable link..if the user clicks the synonym "capsize", the word capsize is sent to the section where the synonym(previously query
) is read and processed into results.. ie. back to this section:
if ($_POST['query'])
{
// Synonym is read and results from a search API are displayed
// Previously 'query' was read here
// The cycle continues again
}
Any ideas or suggestions on this one would be great, thanks guys.
