i will look into databases when i make this to work first i tried this approach but this doesnt work plese help [code] $titleValue=$_GET['titleValue']; for($i=0;$i<$total_books;$i++){ if(strcasecmp($titleValue,$titles[$i][0])==0) { //this is the place we have to add partial match if(stristr($titles[$i][0],$titleValue) === TRUE) { $book_title=$titles[$i][0]; $book_price_us=$titles[$i][1]; $book_price_uk=$titles[$i][2]; $book_isbn=$titles[$i][3]; $book_author=$titles[$i][4]; $book_year=$titles[$i][5]; $book_discount=$titles[$i][6]; $book_category=$titles[$i][7]; $book_description=$titles[$i][8]; $book_image=$titles[$i][9]; $book_link=$titles[$i][10]; $book_link2=$titles[$i][11]; $books [] = array('title' => $book_title,   'USprice' => $book_price_us,   'UKprice' => $book_price_uk,   'isbn' => $book_isbn,   'author' => $book_author,   'year' => $book_year,   'discount' => $book_discount,   'category' => $book_category,   'description' => $book_description,   'image' => $book_image,   'link' => $book_link,   'link2' => $book_link2);   $m++; } } } [/code]

hi, guys, or should i say freaks  ;D i need help though...i have tried to make a script for searching the books and its related data i came up with something but it lacks one major feature, the user have to supply the exact name of the book, but that is just bad you will agree i am sure. it doesnt have to be case sensitive but this is just what i need badly. i am not a php freak but want to become one in a time, since that happen i will have to bother you  ;D here is the script i came up so far (it doesnt use sql yet, database is just simple two dimensional array): [code] <?php   $books = array();   $total_books=4;   $m=0;  //number of matches   //array 'title' 0,  'price us 1 and uk 2 ','ISBN' 3, 'author' 4, 'year' 5, discount 6, category 7,description 8 ,image 9 , link 10   $titles=array(array('book title 1',10,10,'1-23456-789-0','author name','2006','55%','Religion','description','1-23456-789-0.jpg','http://www.somelink.com/','http://www.somelink2.com/'),                 array('book title 1',10,10,'1-23456-789-0','author name','2006','55%','Religion','description','1-23456-789-0.jpg','http://www.somelink.com/','http://www.somelink2.com/'),                 array('book title 1',10,10,'1-23456-789-0','author name','2006','55%','Religion','description','1-23456-789-0.jpg','http://www.somelink.com/','http://www.somelink2.com/'),                 array('book title 1',10,10,'1-23456-789-0','author name','2006','55%','Religion','description','1-23456-789-0.jpg','http://www.somelink.com/','http://www.somelink2.com/'));
