Hi all
I'm also fairly new to PHP, and it's been a fair while since I've done
anything like this (I used to use ASP several years ago). I'm building
a dictionary of jargon and technical speak for my company's intranet.
The user searches for a term and gets passed to a results page. The
results page is supposed to work like this:
Assuming that something has been searched for, check of more than 1 row
of results returned. If there is, then present user with a list of
terms. The user selects the term of choice and the page refers back to
itself the term.
If there is only 1 results returned (so, if the search has returned one
result or the page has been self-referred), show the term and all
relavent definitions (as a term can have more than one of these).
I've got it all sort of working, but I can't work out what is it is
that's wrong. Searching on a term that brings back one result still
gives me a 'your search has returned more than one result' but only
lists one result, and I can't work out how to display just one heading
for a term with multiple definitions. It should be easy, but I just
can't get it.
I can't show you a like working version, but the PHP (as a text file) is
here:

Any help would be gratefully received.
