A url path is sent back to my page from a search box. When I click on the link which displays correctly, the address in my address bar adds my domain name which then stops the page being loaded and I get the 404 error. The part of the code where I am having trouble is: (Thank you in advance if you are able to help!) $query = "select * from movie where movie_title like \"%$trimmed%\" order by movie_title"; // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query $numresults=mysql_query($query)or die (mysql_error()); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults) or die (mysql_error()); // If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative if ($numrows == 0) { echo "<h4>Results</h4>"; echo "<p>Sorry, your search: "" . $trimmed . "" returned zero results</p>"; // google echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=" . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here</a> to try the search on google</p>"; } // next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0 if (empty($s)) { $s=0; } // get results $query .= " limit $s,$limit"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query"); // display what the person searched for echo "<p>You searched for: "" . $var . ""</p>"; // begin to show results set echo "The following results have been found:"; echo "<br />"; $count = 1 + $s ; // now you can display the results returned while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title = $row["movie_link"]; $title_encoded = urlencode($title); echo "<a href=" . $title_encoded . ">" . $title . "</a>"; echo "<br />"; //echo "$count.) $title" ; $count++ ; } $currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1); //break before paging echo "<br />"; // next we need to do the links to other results if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0 $prevs=($s-$limit); print " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var\"><< Prev 10</a>  "; } // calculate number of pages needing links $pages=intval($numrows/$limit); // $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division if ($numrows%$limit) { // has remainder so add one page $pages++; } // check to see if last page if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) { // not last page so give NEXT link $news=$s+$limit; echo " <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next 10 >></a>"; } $a = $s + ($limit) ; if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; } $b = $s + 1 ; echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>"; ?> </body> </html>
I have just solved this problem, but if anyone else was having the same problem you need to use the htmlspecialchars to drop your domain name showing up as well $title_encoded = htmlspecialchars($title);
