trying to modify my search script

[unixteam]

I am modifying a search script, but when I change it, it only searches for 2 of the 3 fields. I believe the problem is in a chunk of it here.

if( $INFO[0] eq "$FORM{title}" && $INFO[1] =~ /$FORM{subject}/ && $INFO[2] =~ /$FORM{search}/ ) {

it only searches for the title and the search is a text line. i need it to search for the title subject, and search categories.

How can i change this code so it searches for all 3?

Why are you using "eq" for the first match, but regex's for the rest? Without seeing what its trying to match and the rest of the code, its going to be tough to help you.

Currently the way it is written, you must match on three occurrences before it will enter inside of the if statement. Would you rather search for a match on any of the three elements?

ideally the script would search for any input given.

Then you would need to use the || in lieu of &&

if ($FORM[0] eq $title || 
    $FORM[1] eq $subject || 
    $FORM[2] eq $search) {
 
....then do something here....
 
}

I hope that you are checking your data first. Never trust the user's input.
