Probably another easy one but...[unsure]

I've added the following to the top of one of my category list pages:

<form method="POST" action="/alink/to/the/ListViewer.php">
<input type="text" name="title,content_keyword" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">
</form>

and would like to show what was searched for in the resulting ListViewer.php page at the top ("Searched for: <value>"). Can someone help?

Thanks.

Eric

Eric,

Try using the multisearch.php file discussed here:

I have also attached it here to this post. You can see it in action here:

Kenny,

Thanks for replying. I've downloaded and looked ath the multisearch.php file and have looked at that link. I tried a few things with only the basic results. I guess I'm just not sure where or what to use in that file but will forge ahead and figure it out.

Appreciate your help.

ADDED (shortly after the above):

I think it was a matter of "couldn't see the forest for the trees" as I figured it out! I was getting errors because I didn't notice the difference in the variable's. Thanks for giving me the incentive to continue on!

Hi Eric,

If all you want to do is show the keyword that was searched for you can try this:

<?php echo @$_REQUEST['title,content_keyword'] ?>

Hope that helps!
