Question problem with travel site search engine

I have a problem with my search engine, when you search for Spain you get no results at all even though there are loads of properties available, and the 2nd problem is that if you search for France for example and get more than one page, only the results for the first 10 properties show up and the other pages have a -9 to 0 result and no properties. I would like to get a web designer who knows what they are doing so would this be a php problem or some other type of problem. Are there people who just specialise in search engine problems? thks. btw the link is http://www.letsrent2me.com/search.php

Re: problem with travel site search engine

Without seeing the code I would say this is probably a mixture of php and mysql causing your problems.

Re: problem with travel site search engine

Thks dab42pat I have written to a web designer this p.m. so hopefully should receive a quote to sort it out. I don't understand how one minute the search engine is working ok and the next it packs up. This is the code from my search.php script...

if(isset($_POST['Reset']))
{
header("Location:search.php");
exit();
}


if(isset($_POST['search']))
{
unset($_POST['prevpage']);
unset($_POST['nextpage']);
unset($_POST['pages']);
}

session_cache_limiter("public");
session_start();
//$posted.=print_r($_POST,1);echo $posted;
//search properties
if(isset($_POST['pages']))
{
$page='';
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages; $i++)
{
//echo $_POST["p$i"];
if (isset($_POST["p$i"])) $page=$_POST["p$i"];
}
