The above is the php code and the code searches the database in the mysql db and displays the approtiate result........
But when in the home page where i type the required keyword with lots of space before it and press search it gives a error type message :
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%' keyw' at line 1 error"
I dont know what to do . I googled a lot in search for the fix.....

PHP Error:
Blank Space input:
Your query failed because of blank values in LIKE
clause.
E.g. if user entered book cover
Your existing query will look something like this:
SELECT *
FROM search_table
WHERE keywords LIKE '%%'
OR keywords LIKE '%%'
OR keywords LIKE '%%'
OR keywords LIKE '%%'
OR keywords LIKE '%book%'
OR keywords LIKE '%%'
OR keywords LIKE '%cover%'
To fix this, trim value $_GET['k']
first.
$k = trim($_GET['k']);
Then, filter out blank values in case user adds multiple spaces in between words.
$terms = explode(" ", $k);
$terms = array_filter($terms);
Now, your query will be
SELECT *
FROM search_table
WHERE keywords LIKE '%book%'
OR keywords LIKE '%cover%'
The error you are getting is due to the fact that the OR
is not being included in your SQL query. Hence the SQL in the error is keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%' keywords LIKE '%%'
(no OR
s). The reason for this is that you are setting $i=0
just before $i++
in your loop. Thus $i
is always 1 and the string with the OR
included is never appended. Set $i=0
outside the loop.
The error message came because $i=0;
is inside the loop. Move it outside.
Also avoid using blank strings.
Here's what I find a better way to build a WHERE
clause:
$ors = array();
foreach ...
{
if (...)
$ors[] = 'keywords LIKE ...'
}
$or_str = implode(' OR ', $ors);
I find that simpler than special-casing the first or last item in an OR
or AND
list.
Meanwhile, you should consider using FULLTEXT
instead of a bunch of LIKEs
.
