Urgent help needed !

[Anon]

HI,

I want to add a search facility to my site, but have no idea where to start.

The data I need to search resides in a database table and I'd like the search to accept a string and search against a field in the table for any matches.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

First, try and write more meaningful titles please.

Seconds, problem sounds easy enough. Have a text to input the string to be searched for, a pull down box might be enough to select a field to search in, post this via a form to a page, and construct a query from that!

In SQL the query would be something like "SELECT * FROM $field where $field=$search_term".

Want specifics, google it! Plenty of HTML tutorials for you to read, and then maybe you could ask a more specific PHP question!

HTH
