iSearch PHP question #2

Hello again!

Here's my site that includes an iSearch search engine at the top:
http://www.motorcityrock.com/index.html

Type Craig Black in to the search box and hit enter. The search is executed
and the results display properly, however, if you try to navigate to the
second page of results using the page links at the bottom...you get a blank
page with this heading: Search results for 'craig AND AND AND black'

If you try the search within quotes "Craig Black," you get nothing.

If you type a single word: black you get multiple pages of
results...and they all work fine.

Any suggestions?

Since magic quotes are enabled on your site, you should stripslash the
search phrase before you parse it.

Also, make sure that 'word word' and "word word" are treated as `word AND
word`.

I'm afraid I'm not sure how to make the necessary changes. iSearch includes
several files. Do modify them, or are you suggesting a change that can be
made using the Control Panel? How can I best stripslash the search phrase
before parsing?

Thanks!

I'm not familiair with iSearch, but what I mean is that you format the
search phrase before it gets processed. The best place for this is the page
which actually performs the search. On top of this page, you apply
stripslashes on the search phrase. Something like

<?
$search = stripslashes($_POST['search']);

// $search is parsed from here
// ....
?>

But as I said before, I do not know the product, so I'm not sure if this
pointer is helpful.
