geocoder - search feature

Have you had a look at the sample_search.php example that comes with the geocoder? This allows the user to type in there zip code, and can be used to only display results that are within a certain distance of them. Are you looking for a search that is more specific than this?

Thanks!

yeah, i am working off of the sample_search.php but i want to set up my site so that the search box is on default.php and displays the results on list.php

Hi,

This should be fairly straight forward. If you copy the search form from sample_search.php and place it on your default.php page, and then change the action in the form tag to list.php. Now when the form submits it will submit to list.php.

<form method="post" action="list.php">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="1" />
<input type="text" name="fromAddress" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['fromAddress']); ?>" size="30" />

<select name="maxDistance">
<option value="">at any distance</option>
<option value="100" <?php selectedIf(100, @$_REQUEST['maxDistance']) ?> >within 100 miles</option>
<option value="25" <?php selectedIf( 25, @$_REQUEST['maxDistance']) ?> >within 25 miles</option>
<option value="10" <?php selectedIf( 10, @$_REQUEST['maxDistance']) ?> >within 10 miles</option>
<option value="5" <?php selectedIf( 5, @$_REQUEST['maxDistance']) ?> >within 5 miles</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

The action variable in the form tag will make the form submit to the page you enter in it.

Then list.php should just have the same content as sample_search.php.
