Hi, I am trying to build a search page that searches MySQL database. I managed to do the search, but I have a small problem when giving the query. Ex: can someone help me out since I am loosing my mind on this. my sql command is: $SQL = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE `name` LIKE '%$keywords%' order by code"); help is very appreciated

Hello, I'm trying to create a script which searchs through several columns in a table, using a keyword to search. I use mysqli and a query with MATCH AGAINST. I have got a code but it does not work and I do not know why. It does not give any error, but it basicly returns nothing. Here is my code: <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $tag = $_POST['tag']; include("database/database.php"); $query = ("SELECT Tutorialid, Title, Author FROM tutorials WHERE MATCH (Title, Body1, Body2, Body3, Body4, Author) AGAINST (?)"); if ($stmt = $connection->prepare($query)){ $stmt->bind_param("s",$tag); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($id, $title, $author); $html_table = '</br></br><table class="cats" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th class="cath">Title</th> <th class="cath">Author</th> <th class="cath">Link</th> </tr>'; while ($stmt->fetch()) { $link = "<a href='http://everytutorial.net/tutorials/".$id."'>Click here to open</a>"; $html_table .= '<tr><td class="catd">' .$title. '</td><td class="catd">' .$author.'</td><td class="catd">'.$link.'</td></tr>'; } $html_table .='</table></br></br></br>'; if (empty($id)) { echo "<p>No tutorials found milord.</p>"; } else { echo $html_table; $stmt->free_result(); $connection->close(); } } } I'm not sure what's wrong with it - any help could be great, thanks!
