Thanks a lot I got it all. But how do we link, say Bob so that when Bob is clicked we are able to get more information about him e.g. Location, ID No., Department e.t.c.

Thank you again.

The ONLY working code on the subject I could find after days of looking….nice work.

Now the $64,000 question is how to display the results in a form that can be edited/update when required.

Cash and prizes for anyone who can help….seriously.

Thank you so much for this wonderful code and extremely easy to follow tutorial.

I have been searching for this type of thing for the past few weeks and have spent many hours trying and failing to use tutorials/code found elsewhere.

This does exactly what I was looking for and took minutes to set up.

So, once again, thank you greatly.

Thank you john for this great tutorial.
It works great.
I have only one question?
How do I make my result “let’s say the FName” a link to the details page?
Since I have a details page that shows all the field of the entry and those are to many to display in my search page.
My detail page haves a record set filter by the variable “attrn”
And I tried everything I could think of to link the ” echo ‘ FName:’ .$row['attr_id'];” to the detail page but no matter how I do it gives me an error.
I will really appreciate some help.

I am still struggling.
Please can I have a more basic step by step instruction to :
1/ Adding search boxes to my page. 1 Box for Location and 1 Box for Keywords
2/ Then i want to return results from mysql database table. My database table headins are :
Location,Retailer,Keywords,Price,Product name,URL LINK

Based on the search box the results will be displayed as per the above headings. Spent the whole day looking for a basic step by step guide but no joy

Is there any way to make it search multiple fields in my database. Like lets say I have a database that contains the following fields:

CustomerName
HomePhone
WorkPhone
CellPhone

Is there any way I can make it so that when somebody searches for something in my database it will search all 4 of those fields?
