Hi,
I am trying to slap together an index of a MySQL database using DBIx::FullTextSearch with a phrase type back-end and HTML::Template to display the results

I am trying to put the search string back into the the search box ( $template->param(SEARCH => $search);), which works fine apart from when I use a string in quotes i.e. to denote a phrase it puts nothing back into the search box

Interestingly enough if I print $search to the screen the quotes are intact

Here is my code

#!/usr/bin/perl


use CGI qw(param);
use DBIx::FullTextSearch;
use DBIx::FullTextSearch::StopList;
use DBI;
use HTML::Template;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:xxxxx','xxxx','xxxxx');

my $search = param("search");

my $fts = DBIx::FullTextSearch->open($dbh, 'fts_cobra');

my @files = $fts->search($search);

if (@files)
{
    foreach $filename(@files){
      $filename = substr($filename,0,-4);

      $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT id, title, summary FROM  resource W
+HERE id ='$filename'");
      $sth->execute();

        while ($ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()){

        $title = $ref->{title};
        $id = $ref->{id};

        push @rows, { ID => $id, TITLE => $title };

    }
  }
}

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'search.tmpl');

$template->param(TAB_BG_MAIN => "#0B5875");
$template->param(TAB_BG_HEAD => "#6180BA");
$template->param(SEARCH => $search);
$template->param(ROWS => \@rows);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $template->output;

I bet this is a no-brainer for the average - and most of you will be wondering how I ever got this far - any comments even with 'sneers' will be greatly appreciated

p.s. anyone want to give me a clue how to take this further and add HTML::Pager functionallity will definately be considered for a Christmas Card :)
