I am creating a search query. When I submit my form and if I search for a category lets say codeigniter then should get all questions within that category or if I search for a question it will just show questions that match.
I can only search for title at the moment in questions.
Is there any better way?

I can only search for title at the moment in questions.
Is there any better way?
PHP Code:
// $this->db->or_where('c.name', $search);
public function search_questions($search) {
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('question q');
$this->db->join('category c', 'c.category_id = q.category_id');
$this->db->like('q.title', $search);
$this->db->or_like('c.name', $search);
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();
}
PHP Code:
<?php
class Search extends MY_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('answers/answer_model');
}
public function index() {
if ($this->input->post('search')) {
$results = $this->search_questions($this->input->post('search'));
$data['questions'] = array();
if ($results) {
foreach ($results as $result) {
$data['questions'][] = array(
'question_id' => $result['question_id'],
'title' => $result['title'],
'votes' => $result['votes'],
'answers' => $this->answer_model->count_answers($result['question_id']),
'views' => ''
);
}
}
$data['page'] = 'search/search_results';
$this->load->view($this->config->item('config_template') . '/template/template_view', $data);
}
}
public function search_questions($search) {
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('question q');
$this->db->join('category c', 'c.category_id = q.category_id');
$this->db->like('q.title', $search);
$this->db->or_where('c.name', $search);
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();
}
