Re: Search Script

Jennifer, In the manual it's probably under the SELECT heading. (I've not checked, but that's a godd spot to start looking for the bits that can amke up the WHERE clause.) Try removing the single quotes - you have one before >%shopsear< and another following iname, as > iname'" < Sorry this is a bit vague, but if you need the single quotes arounf shopsearch you may have to build up the SQL statement bit by bit. Remember to echo $query so that you will know if it look right. Cheers - Miles At 07:15 AM 4/25/2002 -0700, Jennifer Downey wrote:

Hi all, I have been trying to build a search script for my site that deals with only one table in my db. As Julie Meloni pointed out look in the MySQL manual for LIKE clauses I can't seem to locate that clause in ether manual. Dan Brunner gave me this to go on: $query = "SELECT uid, id, image, iname, quantity, type FROM {$config["prefix"]}_shop WHERE iname LIKE = '%$shopsearch% ORDER BY iname'"; $ret = mysql_query($query); while(list($quantity)=mysql_fetch_row($ret)) But I can't seem to get this to work. I have never worked with LIKE before and would appreciate any help on this. Thanks Julie and Dan for your time and effort.
