Howdy all!
I've built a page in Dreamweaver MX that uses PHP for scripting. I
can get
data out of my mysql database but I need to be able to search for
wildcards.
currently it only matches 100% exact queries.
Below is the code that is at the beggining of the PHP page.
-----------
$varSort_search1 = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["Sort"])) {
$varSort_search1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ?
$HTTP_POST_VARS["Sort"] :
addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS["Sort"]);
}
$varText_search1 = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["Text"])) {
$varText_search1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ?
$HTTP_POST_VARS["Text"] :
addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS["Text"]);
}
mysql_select_db($database_CATCH, $CATCH);
$query_search1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM secureworks WHERE %s LIKE
'%s'",
$varSort_search1,$varText_search1);
$search1 = mysql_query($query_search1, $CATCH) or die(mysql_error());
$row_search1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($search1);
$totalRows_search1 = mysql_num_rows($search1);
-------------
Does anyone have any ideas?
