Re: Implementing a search functionality

Ok, this is weird.  It does pagination, which is good.  The problem arises is that when I run the search, after it it runs again, for all of the names in the DB... on the first page the search results are displayed, but on the next, the rest of the data is displayed!  Does pagination run some other search in the background or after the fact?  This is weird, please help out.

Ok, as I have it works.  Yay!

The thing that was tripping me up was that the pagination ran _after_ the search.

This is how view_admit_lookup is now.

    function view_admit_lookup() {

        $this->helpers['Paginator'] = array('ajax' => 'ajax');

        // provide pagination for the user.

        $this->set('provider', $this->paginate());

        // here we begin searching for whatever we need.

        if(!empty($this->data['Provider']['last_name'])) {

            $this->set('provider', $this->Provider->find('all', 

                                                            array('conditions' => 

                                                                array(

                                                                    'Provider.last_name LIKE' => $this->data['Provider']['last_name'].'%'))));

        }

        // set the title and the default layout.

        $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Admit Lookup');

        $this->layout = 'default';

    }

Ok, one more time!

This is my view:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/859204807

My model:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/455436825

My controller:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2083728780

Now, what happens is that when I run a search for, say, Smith, the page just refreshes with all of the stuff as it was.  I inserted debug code (lines 31 & 32) in the if-statement just to see what was going on and turns out nothing was going >_>

Should I run this after the pagination?

You're right of course. Now if you are American, it would be ironic that you understand sarcasm (or irony)!

Don't think that's irony, more sarcasm ;)
