Find Related Pages

[MikeS]

New to ProcessWire and seriously loving it.  I'm also relatively new to PHP (there is my disclaimer!).  I am trying to come up with the following PHP statement to find related pages.  I would like to find all pages where "some_field" contains the page title of the current page.  So the statement might look something like this:

<?php $matches = $pages->find("some_field *= title of the current page"); ?>

Greatly appreciate any nudge in the right direction. Thanks.

Welcome to PW!!

You pretty much had it

$matches = $pages->find("somefield*={$page->title}");

$page is always the current page. You can't have spaces within each part of the selector, so I remove the spaces around: *=

Remember that if you are "find"ing you will end up with an array of results, not just one, so you need to decide how to handle these. The usual approach is to foreach through them. So you would then:

foreach($matches at $match){
    echo "<li>{$match->title}</li>";
}

or something along those lines.

Excellent Adrian, thanks for the help!  That did the trick.
