Question

Here is a mySQL query with the password and usernames deliberately botched out. It is returning only one result is not returning any other information than today’s date for that one result. It does not matter what search one tries it is not functioning.

 <?php 

    $proto = $_GET['p'];
    $terms = $_GET['f'];
    $return;

    if($proto == 'inline'){
        echo 'checking';
    $username="*******";
    $password="*******";
    $database="*******";
    $my_text = $_GET['f'];        //what I'm searching for
    $my_category = '8';        //whatever category number it is

    mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db($database) or die(mysql_error());

    $result = mysql_query("SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title LIKE '%$my_text%' ");
    // select all posts that have your text

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result));

    $postname = $row['post_name'];
    $posttitle = $row['post_title'];
    $postID = $row['ID']; 
    $date = date ( 'd-M-Y' , strtotime($row['post_date']) );

        $return.= '
                    <a href="http://www.robin-knight.com/' . $postname .'">'.$posttitle.' ('.$postname.')<br /><span style="font-size:10px; color:#555;">'.get_the_time("d-M-Y", $postID).' - '.get_post_meta($postID, "status", true).'</span></a>
                ';

       //while have posts

       echo $return;

    }

    ?>

In addition to the other information:

I might be missing it, but I don’t see you encompassing anything in your while loop.

That would be why it’s only getting one. You need to use braces { }
