Re: Implementing a search functionality

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)!

I hope we all know that I was being ironic. ^^

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