search result....http

[Anon]

Hi there!

Here is my problem:

I have search page where user can search different cars. If user gives many car model for example (ford, BMW, Volvo ...)
then the http parameters looks like:

something/resultpage.php?car=ford&car=bmw&car=volvo

there is (at this case) three different car values. Now my resultpage returns only the last value (car=volvo) and show all the volvo's. How can I make resultpage what show all the different values?

I'm using mysql database.

What kind of html input type are you using ?
You can use a <select name="car[]" multiple>, with car models as options. When the user selects multiple models, you will end up with an array ($car) of car models.
Now it is up to you to take every element of the array and construct a SQL sentence that will return the correct search results.

How can I take all the different car element from array?

[monezz]

$car_count = array_count_values($car);

for ($x=0;$x<$car_count;$x++){
$car_in_array = $car[$x];
}

In the 'for-loop' you can do what you want
with the different car values in the array.
