Greetings!

This n00b has a "search engine" dedicated to extracting relevant information from log files. It works by parsing preset fields in the log filename.

I'd like to have some notification when the search returns no rows as I am planning to add more search options. Here's my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

        <title>LogFile Search</title>
        <style type="text/css">      <<irrelevant stuff removed>>        </style>

        <h4 id="myh4"><ul><li>         <<irrelevant stuff removed>>   </li></ul></h4>
        <form method="post" name="LogFile_Search" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
            <table id="mytable">
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td id="mytd">Result(P|F|N):  <input type="text" id="Result_PFN" name="Result_PFN" size="31"/></td>
                        <td id="mytd">Script Version:  <input type="text" id="ScriptVersion" name="ScriptVersion" size="31"/></td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>
            </table>
            <br>

                doResult_PFN();
            } elseif (!empty($ScriptVersion)) {

                natcasesort($output);

                if (count($output) > 0) {
                    foreach ($output as $v) {
                        //Display file name without full path as URL.
                        echo '<tr><td><a href="' . basename($mydir) . '/'

                global $mydir;
                global $Result_PFN;

                echo '<table id=\'mytable\'><tbody><tr><td id=\'mytd\'>Log File Name.</td></tr>';

                if ($dir) {
      //List files in directory
                    while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
      //Ignores OS stuff.
                        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
      //Pattern match for result.
                            if (preg_match("/~(P|F|N)*" . $Result_PFN . "~/i", $file)) {
                      //Sort the array using a case insensitive "natural order" algorithm.
                      natcasesort($file);
                                echo '<tr><td><a href="' . basename($mydir) . '/' . $file . '"  target="_blank">' . $file . '</a></td></tr>';
                            }
                        } else {
                    echo "<html><body style=\"background-color:#0080c0\">

                }
                    closedir($dir);
                }
                echo "</table></body>";
            }
            ?>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

When doResult_PFN() returns no result, the ELSE portion is never evaluated and no notification is sent to the user. However, I have no problem with doScriptVersion(): it returns an alert.

What am I missing?

I checked that the else part in doResult_PFN() function works perfect and returns an alert msg..

please send me some worth-able php project titles
