Hi All, Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I need to create a SELECT statement based on some criteria select and entered into a form. Form variables: $threadsColumn = "manufactuer,colour"; $string = "n"; Code: $columns[] = explode(",",$threadsColumn); $test = "("; for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($columns);$i++) { $test .= $columns[$i]." %$string%"; } $test .= ")"; echo $test; What I am attempting to do is create a select statement that would look like (based on "form variables"): SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE (manufacturer LIKE %n% OR colour LIKE %n%) The information between ( and ) needs to be written in such a manner that it scales up or down in options.. depending on what was selected in the form. ANYONE have some thoughts? Oh.. when I echo the above code I get this: (Array %h%) Thanks! Aaron
