Greetings!
I have a form that's meant to be a rudimentary search engine.
The forms calls the piece of code below and outputs successfully the results in a new tab.
<?php
//Includes the db config file
$dbconf = include '.../config/dbConfig.php';
//checks if fields are set.
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if(
!empty($_POST['search_string'])
) {
searchWebcases();
searchResolutions();
} else {
echo "<html><body>
<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">alert(
'Nothing to do.'
+ '\\n\\n' + ' You must type a letter, word or phrase before you can hit \"Run Search\"'
+ '.');</script> </body></html>";
}
}
function searchWebcases() {
/*
* Grabs $dbconf and declares variables.
*/
global $dbconf;
/*
* Grabs POST value.
*/
$q = $_POST['search_string'];
/*
* Connect to db.
*/
$con = mysql_connect($dbconf["host"], $dbconf["user"],$dbconf["password"]) ;
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($dbconf["db"], $con) or die ("Couldn't select the database.");
/*
* Search webcases.
*/
$result = mysql_query("
select
wc.caseid,
wc.request_title,
wc.request_description,
wc.requestor,
wc.created_on,
wc.status,
wc.assigned_to from webcases wc where
lower(wc.request_title) like '%".$q."%'
or
lower(wc.request_description) like '%".$q."%' order by wc.caseid asc");

?>Problem is that both query results display in the *same* tab i.e that of my searchWebcases() function.
Is there a way to output the results of searchResolutions() function in its own tab?
