Extended Search?

marid · 04-09-2004, 02:39 AM

Hi,

i build an Myrmecology (Ant Science) related Search Engine with PhpDig.

I now thing about following:
If a user goes to my site and search a word or sentence then i want want to give over the search to another form at the "beginning" of the results that searches another database (in this case a hymenoptera name server).

A link as example is looking like this:
http://atbi.biosci.ohio-state.edu:88...ewitti&Submit=

As i am not a Php Pro - has anyone perhaps done something like this and give me an idea how to do that?

Hi. Perhaps use something like the following:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



if (isset($_REQUEST['query_string'])) {

    $query_string = urlencode($query_string);

}

else { $query_string = "''"; }



$url = "http://atbi.biosci.ohio-state.edu:8880/hymenoptera/nomenclator.name_entry?text_entry=".$query_string;



echo <<<END

<html><head><META http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=$url"></head></html>

END;



?>

Remember to remove any "word" wrapping in the above code.
