Help with search

I hope someone can help me with issues using D/A on creating a simple search form.
I think these products are amazing with what I have done with them so far. It must be that I'm not understanding this part.

So here goes. Im using D/W cs4, mysql, php. I have D/A and DFP, My db has about 12 columns that I need to have a search page to search about 3 fields, primarily a date range, a "country" column, and maybe one more.

I have used the D/A search wizard many times and nothing happens when you hit submit but a blank page comes up.

Using the D/A wizard creates the pages but nothing happens when the submit button is hit.
I have read all the documentation I can find and it just doesnt work.
Can someone assist me, I have to launch this site Wednesday and everything else works great but this.

Thanks

If you are getting a blank page, then it means a php error is occurring, but error reporting is turned off.

Add the following to line 1 of the page to turn error reporting on:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>





as for the page created by the wizard not working, I would need to see the code on the search and results page to see what is wrong.

Hi Jason, here is the code for the search page for the date range. Can you tell me what I need to do to get this functional? This page has 2 text fields and a submit button.

the dataassist search behavior is set to use a form element named search:
$WADbSearch1->keywordComparison($KeyArr0,"".((isset($_POST["search"]))?$_POST["search"]:"") ."","AND","Includes",",%20","%20","%22","%22",0 );



that does not exist in your form.
