Comment on FULLTEXT Search with MySQL and CodeIgniter by Joe

I think you basically need to have ‘default’ values for your search parameters. For example, you could have:

function search($keywords = 'none', $location = 'all', $start = 0)

Then check within the function for these as special cases. You can’t use the empty string (as I have in my example) because by missing it out, the consecutive slashes in the URL will be ignored.

(I just noticed a bug in my _setup_pagination function by the way—it wasn’t making use of the $uri_segment, which may help you out if you’re using additional URL segments.)

Hey there, first let me say thanks! This is a great tutorial.

I’ve converted this to use 2 search fields, one for “keyword(s)” and one for “location” – It works nicely as far as the search part goes but, breaks the pagination. If the user only enters a keyword and no location, then clicks “page 2″, it assumes that “10″ is the location. On the other hand if the user enters keyword and location the pagination works fine… Any tips on how I can tell it that there was no location and to use that part of the uri segment for pagination?

thanks!

Thank you a lot for sharing this.

That was sooo helpful.

I only changed the following in my setup: The default value for $results_per_page I set to 10, and I skipped the following if-statement. Because in your setup if no value is passed to the method it will select all entries. I don’t ever want this, so I changed it.
