Say you entere keywords on the form. If you enter more than one word, you need to break them up before using the regex.
This is good for one word at a time, other wise your search will be to specific. So, let a user add comma separated or space separated keywords like so: ex1. programmer, php, java, sql ex2. programmer php java sql Then, you should break the keyword string up into substrings, each substring being a keyword. So, ## a space, or use a comma if allow user to separate by comma, or whatever character as a delimiter $delimiter = " "; $keywords = explode( $delimiter, $words ); ## this will generate an array of keywords from the $words string so now add this to your code: <snip> $delimiter = " "; ## a space in this case, but you can change to whatever you want while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $id = $row['id']; $FirstName = $row['FirstName']; $LastName = $row['LastName']; $filename = $row['ResumeUp']; $fd = fopen("/home/sites/madden.williamsen.net/web/recruiter/resumes/$filename","r "); $contents = fread($fd, filesize($filename)); fclose($fd); $keywords = explode( $delimiter, $words ); ## this will generate an array of keywords from the $words string ## now loop through the array keywords and search for each keyword for ($index=0; $index < count($keywords); $index++) $keyword = $keywords[$idx]; if( eregi($keyword, $contents) ) { echo "The Words <b>$keywords</b> has been found in the resume of <ol><li>$LastName, $FirstName <a href=\"http://madden.williamsen.net/recruiter/resumes/basename($filename)\"> Resume</a></li></ol>"; } else { echo "The keyword $keyword was not found in the resume $filename<br>"; } } ## end for loop } </snip> "Nicole Amashta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > What keywords are being used?
