Hey guys,

Does anyone know how yagoohoogle.com script works? Probably something simple for the pros.

I would appreciate any ideas.

I'm somewhat disturbed someone would even have to ask....

  <frameset cols="50%, 50%">
    <frame src="http://www.google.com/search?q=test"/>
    <frame src="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=test"/>
  </frameset>

Magic! o_O

EDIT: Nice manipulation of those intial images.[/sarcasm] [cough] COPYRIGHT LAWS [/cough]

thanks bradgrafelman, but I was wondering more about the concept of search.php, not how to split the page.

That is essentially all that is happening.

<frameset cols="50%, 50%">
    <frame src="http://www.google.com/search?q=<?=$_GET['search'];?>"/>
    <frame src="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=<?=$_GET['search'];?>"/>
  </frameset>

How would i put it in the .php so that there is a search bar, like on front page of the site, to input the value...? i am not very skilled. :queasy: Thank you in advance!

bradgrafelman

In the script:

<?PHP

$query = ((@$_POST['q']) ? ((get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['q'] : addslashes($_POST['q'])) : '');

if($query == '') {

echo <<<theHTML
<form method=POST action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
Search: <input type="text" name="q"> <input type="submit" value="Search!"></form>
theHTML;

} else {

echo <<<theFrames
<frameset cols="50%, 50%"> 
    <frame src="http://www.google.com/search?q={$query}"/> 
    <frame src="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p={$query}"/> 
  </frameset>
theFrames;
}

etc.

hmm... thanks a lot for the help, how would i make sure that it takes this symbol --> " ?

bradgrafelman

Look at using functions such as [man]htmlspecialchars[/man], or a simple [man]str_replace[/man] to replace ( " ) with ( \" ) in their search string. (The latter solution being the easiest)
