i have searched all hot scritps but i didn't find any serach engine script for host, for example you serach with some criterias like space and bandwidth.

Hotscripts hasn't it all!

Please help, does anybody knew any such a script?

Well, you didn't really specify what it was you wanted to get out of the script.

FYI, Bandwitch, it's usually best to give a subject that will grab people's attention. Most people in this forum will skip over this post because you haven't specified in the subject what you want.

"Help" doesn't do it. Better would have been:

"Looking for a Search script"

Badnwitch, assuming you are storing this data into a MySQL DB table, the script itself wouldn't be that difficult to write from the groun up... You just need to build a SELECT statement based on the selected criteria.

For example:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE this value1 = '".$_POST['value1']."'";

IF(ISSET($_POST['value2']) sql .= " AND value2 = '".$_POST['value2']."'";

IF(ISSET($_POST['value3']) sql .= " AND value3 = '".$_POST['value3']."'";

// etc...

Then run the query and loop through the results. Of course, you'd want to build in more error checking and whatnot, but the principle isn't that difficult. Best thing to do if you aren't sure how to do this is to dig into the MySQL and PHP manuals, start building, come back here and post some code for help.

Incidentally, the scripts at HotScripts can be easily modified to accomodate what you want. I have found over the years that HotScripts doesn't ever have EXACTLY what you want, but a vast majority of them can be modified.

I have bought a book an dlearn som ebasics but i don't know how to make this script?
Can anyone help? Make me a small script:glare:

BandWitch, most of what you want to do IS the basics... SELECTING data from a table, and displaying the results. Post a table dump, and the code you have so far, and I'll be happy to lend a hand (but I don't have time to write you a script for free, as is the case with the heavy regs around here).

You can't come here, and ask for help when you give sketchy details (at best) of what you want to do, you give no table dump to work with, and you give no code that you have started writing yourself. You aren't going to get much help that way. (Just trying to help you out here) Give details, details, details...

Buy a book. I recommend this one, not just because it was written by people on the board.

I've actually bought a copy and it's excellent. Except the bits that BuzzLy wrote :p

Start by explaining exactly what you are trying/wanting to do. (with as much detail as possible) We can begin to point you in the right direction.

You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who is willing to help you out when you don't give details. Look at it like this: Who in their right mind will spend any time writing or modifying code for you, only to find out an hour later that it is not what you want it to do.

As far as script mods goes? Most of the search scripts at HotScripts can be modded, but it all goes back to finding out exactly what you want to do first.
