this may be asking for too much but still ....

in the main folder mydomain.com, the folder foruma/fr3/messages contains some numbered.php files ( eg 1000.php, 1001.php so on )

i wanted to add a search function so that a word submitted for search can be found out from these files.
however for this files to get displayed in browser they need url like

/foruma/fr3/index.php?subject=view&msg=1001.php
[ http://localhost/foruma/fr3/index.ph...w&msg=1001.php ]

*instead of*

/foruma/fr3/messages/4209.php
http://localhost/foruma/fr3/messages/4209.php

The search function which I got from php cookbook will return results like
/foruma/fr3/messages/1001.php
/foruma/fr3/messages/1002.php
/foruma/fr3/messages/1003.php

but *what i need* is
results ( taking those numbers only )
/foruma/fr3/index.php?subject=view&msg=1001.php
/foruma/fr3/index.php?subject=view&msg=1002.php
/foruma/fr3/index.php?subject=view&msg=1003.php

i am failing miserably - what will be the actual tweaking in the code - i will be full of extreme gratitude if that help is possible.

the search code

PHP Code:

<?

function pc_search_dir($dir) { 

global $body_regex,$title_regex,$seen;

$pages = array();

$dirs = array();

$seen[realpath($dir)] = true;

if (is_readable($dir) && ($d = dir($dir))) {

while (false !== ($f = $d->read())) {

$path = $d->path.'/'.$f;

if (is_file($path) && is_readable($path)) {

$realpath = realpath($path);

if ($seen[$realpath]) {

continue;

} else {

$seen[$realpath] = true;

}

$file = join('',file($path));

if (preg_match($body_regex,$file)) {

$uri = substr_replace($path,'',0,strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']));

if (preg_match('#<title>(.*?)</title>#Sis',$file,$match)) {

array_push($pages,array($uri,$match[1]));

} else {

array_push($pages,array($uri,$uri));

}

}

} else {

if (is_dir($path) && ('.' != $f) && ('..' != $f)) {

array_push($dirs,$path);

}

}

}

$d->close();

}

foreach ($dirs as $subdir) {

$realdir = realpath($subdir);

if (! $seen[$realdir]) {

$seen[$realdir] = true;

$pages = array_merge($pages,pc_search_dir($subdir));

}

}

return $pages;

}

function pc_page_sort($a,$b) {

if ($a[1] == $b[1]) {

return strcmp($a[0],$b[0]);

} else {

return ($a[1] > $b[1]);

}

}

$matching_pages = array();

$seen = array();

$search_dirs = array('foruma/fr3/messages');

$body_regex = '#name(.*' . preg_quote(search_item,'#'). 

              '.*)displayreply#Sis';



foreach ($search_dirs as $dir) {

$matching_pages = array_merge($matching_pages,

                                  pc_search_dir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.$dir));}

if (count($matching_pages)) {

usort($matching_pages,'pc_page_sort');

print '<ul>';

foreach ($matching_pages as $k => $v) {

print sprintf('<li> <a href="%s">%s</a>',$v[0],$v[1]);

}

print '</ul>';

} else {

print 'No pages found.';

}

?>

foruma/fr3/messages = where the searching is done
search_item = the term submittable via a search form

%s = this thing needs to be modified so that only the number is taken and the urls are reconstructed as , for example,
/foruma/fr3/index.php?subject=view&msg=4194.php
[http://localhost//foruma/fr3/index.p...&msg=4194.php]

Once again , thanks a lot for reading this.
