You can't put PHP code into the template file.

You need to use the method in this FAQ instead.
Q. How can I add headers & footers to the search template using server side includes (SSIs) or scripts?

I dont understand the instructions in that page, have read it.

Could you explain further for me? or do it if you have the time.
Been trying it for a little while with no luck

What bit don't you understand?

If you are already coding in PHP then the FAQ page should make perfect sense. I am not sure what else needs explaining further.

Well i don't understand how it gets to mysearch.php after clicking submit...

Current Code in mysearch.php

PHP Code:


<?php

    session_start();

?>

   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    </head>

    <body onload="if (document.getElementById('zoom_searchbox')) {document.getElementById('zoom_searchbox').focus();}">



        <div id="container">

            <div id="banner">

                <?php include("banner.php"); ?>

            </div>

            <div id="top_navigation">

                <?php include("top_menu.php"); ?>

            </div>

            <div id="top_navigationline">&nbsp;</div>

            <div id="navigation">

                <?php include("left_menu.php"); ?>

            </div>

            <div id="content">

                <h1 class="title">Searc Results</h1>

                <!--ZOOMSEARCH-->

            </div>

            <div id="footer">

                <?php include("footer.php"); ?>

            </div>

        </div>

    </body>

</html>

Current Code in search_template.html

Code:

<?php include("mysearch.php"); ?>

What am i doing wrong?

As already stated, you can't put PHP code in the search_template.html file.

And as stated in the FAQ, your mysearch.php file need to contain a line like,
<?php virtual("search.php"); ?>

Please read the FAQ linked above.

All my PHP is in the "mysearch.php" file.

I don't understand how i get the results to display on the page with PHP, what do i need to put so that instead of going to search_template.php it will go to my "mysearch.php"

**David** · May-24-2011, 12:47 AM

You said this,

Current Code in search_template.html
Code:
<?php include("mysearch.php"); ?>

Then contradicted yourself with this,

All my PHP is in the "mysearch.php" file.

So I don't really know what you have in what files.

...what do i need to put so that instead of going to search_template.php

We don't supply, nor suggest creating, any file called search_template.php. So I don't where this file came from.

Maybe start again from the beginning with the files we supply and carefully follow the FAQ.

Ok well there is some PHP code in search_template.html, but i dont understand how my layout will show up with no data in search_template.html.

That was my question from the start.
Could you please help me,

**coccoster** · May-24-2011, 01:18 AM

At the moment all i can get is my Layout all done, but the search results come out right at the bottom underneath the footer, this is really frustrating.

**coccoster** · May-24-2011, 10:37 AM

So.. any idea what im doing wrong?

**David** · May-24-2011, 12:06 PM

Ok well there is some PHP code in search_template.html

Remove it. You can't have PHP in the search_template.html file.

Can be tested here:
http://freddo.bf.rmit.edu.au/~s3233554/floral/index.html
Search for vase and click submit..

I just get a 404 page not found error. This means the URL in your search form isn't pointing to the search script. I can't tell you what the URL should be as I don't know where you have uploaded all the files on your site.

**coccoster** · May-24-2011, 01:08 PM

Ok removed.

Sorry mate try this link.

**David** · May-24-2011, 07:51 PM

So now when I do a search I see search results, with a header and a footer (i.e. I don't see the problem). I don't see the footer above the results, as you described.

**coccoster** · May-25-2011, 06:10 AM

The banner, left menu and footer isnt comin up properly. The actual php includes arent appearing, only css stuff atm is showing up.

If you look on other pages youll see what should be should be showing up.

Thanks
