Screen Resolution Variables
I created this simple home page for him at an 800x600 resolution and thought all was well. Last night, my husband took a look at his site on his computer, on which the screen resolution is much larger. The site looked bad, as the designed page was on the left of the screen, and right third of the webpage on his computer was all blank. I would like to be able to code in the ability for my webpage to readjust to different screen resolutions.

Make A Search Engine For Your Website With PHP

By Rory Canyon

This hands on PHP Programming article provides the knowledge necessary to design and develop a search engine for your website using PHP version 4.0 and above.

Making a search engine for your website with PHP is really easy and provides substantial functionality required by most of the small to medium websites. This article introduces every steps of the development, including both design and PHP programming. Basic computer skills and knowledge of HTML fundamentals are required. Ok, let's begin now.

Step 1: Design Search Box Under your website root, make a file called search.htm or anything you like and type in the following code:

<html>

<head>

<title>Web Search</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312">

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

<form name="form1" method="post" action="search.php">

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td width="36%">

<div align="center">

<input type="text" name="keyword">

</div>

</td>

<td width="64%">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search">

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

</body>

</html>


Step 2: Write search.php file. It is the core of your website search engine.

Under your website root, create a file called search.php or anything you like.

<?php

//get keywords

$keyword=trim($_POST["keyword"]);

//check if the keyword is empty

if($keyword==""){

echo"no keywords";

exit;

}

?>


With above, you can give hints to your users when they forget to enter a keyword. Now let's go through all the files or articles in your website.
