Making A MIDI File Search with PHP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 12.2003

Hey! I want to make a big website full of MIDI’s that visitors can listen to. The problem is, I want to get a good 100 to 200 MIDI’s and I want to be able to make a seach box (using PHP or anything else you can recommend) ? . I want to make a seach box somehow where people don’t have to go clicking through a bunch of pages to find their MIDI. But I am really not that good with PHP. I only know the basics. If you can refer me to some cut-and-paste script or something I would really appreciate it. If not I will try my best to understand you. ? You get the idea. Any suggestions? ?

@eddieweb12authorAug 12.2003 — Thanks for your reply! Now, will these scripts allow me to index *.mid files or just the HTML pages where the MIDI files are located?

@pyroAug 12.2003 — Dunno... You'll have to look through them. You could create your own search (or have someone develope a search for you [like me]... *hint hint*) lol...

@eddieweb12authorAug 12.2003 — How about CGI or JavaScript? Are they good for making a search tool or is PHP the best one?

@pyroAug 12.2003 — CGI would be fine, but javascript's not so good. 13% of web users browse with javascript disabled.

@eddieweb12authorAug 12.2003 — Ok. Do you know of any good CGI scripts?

Also, If I wanted to search the Internet or Google or something to find a PHP or CGI script for making this search, what kind of keywords should I look for? Should I type in "MIDI Indexing" or "Custom Indexing"? Because I want the search script to index MIDI files ONLY so when someone searches for a song, it won't bring up another page on my site.
