PHP search external site with internal search engine
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 4:25 pm
Hi,
I am trying to create a very simple php application that will search a specific external site. I am trying to learn php but this is the first project i have ever attempted. I need to have a simple text box and submit buttom with an iframe below. I want to be able to type search criteria into the textbox and when you press search it takes the specified criteria and places it after this url "http://www.globalplanesearch.com/isapis/srch.dll?gpsq=".
ex. if you typed "aircraft" into the textbox and hit search, then the url would become:
"http://www.globalplanesearch.com/isapis ... q=aircraft"
and then it would make the iframe display the url.
I was wondering if someone could help me do this. ive never done php before but i am very good with html,css and i can read and understand some php but not enough to know the syntax.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
