Hi,

is it possible in CMS builder to search in 2 or 3 multi value fields in the same time for example If i want to find 1 and 2 bedroom flat in Acton and Chelsie(London) and i give 120000 punds max price. This is my case, and should i use some real estate script which can do that?

Cheers

Hi,

Yes, there is no limit to the number of fields you can search at once. All you need to do is put together the right MySQL WHERE clause. If you could add the option:

'debugSql' => true,

to your getRecords() call when you get the error, it will output the entire query it's trying to execute. If you can post that output, we can see what's going wrong.

Thanks

Hi,

with this code:

$where = "";

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['oblast_grad'])) {

$where .= "(";
foreach ($_REQUEST['oblast_grad'] as $oblast_grad) {
$where .= " oblast_grad LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($oblast_grad)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR") . ")";
}

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'])) {

if ($where) { $where .= " AND "; }

$where .= "(";

foreach ($_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'] as $vid_na_imota) {
$where .= " vid_na_imota LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($vid_na_imota)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR") .")";

}

list($imotiRecords, $imotiMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'imoti',
'orderBy' => mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['orderBy']),
'perPage' => '2',
'where' => $where,
)); $where = "";

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['oblast_grad'])) {

foreach ($_REQUEST['oblast_grad'] as $oblast_grad) {
$where .= " oblast_grad LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($oblast_grad)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR");
}

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'])) {

foreach ($_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'] as $vid_na_imota) {
$where .= " vid_na_imota LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($vid_na_imota)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR");
}


list($imotiRecords, $imotiMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'imoti',
'orderBy' => mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['orderBy']),
'perPage' => '2',
'where' => $where,
'debugSql' => true,
));

the output:


SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `imoti`.* FROM `cms_imoti` as `imoti` WHERE ( oblast_grad LIKE '% Troshevo %' OR oblast_grad LIKE '% Mladost %' vid_na_imota LIKE '% 1-room %' OR vid_na_imota LIKE '% 2-rooms %' ) LIMIT 2
MySQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'vid_na_imota LIKE '% 1-room %' OR vid_na_imota LIKE '% 2-rooms %' ) LIMIT 2' at line 3

Hi,

The issue here is that you're going through the process twice.

Try this:

$where = "";

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['oblast_grad'])) {

$where .= "(";
foreach ($_REQUEST['oblast_grad'] as $oblast_grad) {
$where .= " oblast_grad LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($oblast_grad)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR") . ")";
}

if (is_array(@$_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'])) {

if ($where) { $where .= " AND "; }

$where .= "(";

foreach ($_REQUEST['vid_na_imota'] as $vid_na_imota) {
$where .= " vid_na_imota LIKE '%\t".mysql_escape($vid_na_imota)."\t%' OR";
}

$where = rtrim($where, "OR") .")";

}

list($imotiRecords, $imotiMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'imoti',
'orderBy' => mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['orderBy']),
'perPage' => '2',
'where' => $where,

));

Hope this helps
