PHP and Mysql help

[links1573]

I have created a database driven Web Site where users can search the database based on the Items description. Trying to find a way to search the database based on multiple fields; I.E.

Description, Zip Code, Serial number, Name, etc...

Below is a snippet of the PHP code that I have functioning currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[color=red]<?php require_once('../Connections/js.php'); ?>
<?php
if ( !isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on' ) {
  header ('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
  exit();
}

$currentPage = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

if ( !isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on' ) {
  header ('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
  exit();
}

if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

$maxRows_Recordset1 = 20;
$pageNum_Recordset1 = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'])) {
  $pageNum_Recordset1 = $_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'];
}
$startRow_Recordset1 = $pageNum_Recordset1 * $maxRows_Recordset1;

$colname_Recordset1 = "Please Enter your Search Criteria";

if (isset($_POST['stolen']) || $_GET['type']=='search') {
$colname_Recordset1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['stolen'] : addslashes($_POST['stolen']);
}

mysql_select_db($database_js, $js);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM items WHERE freeze <> '1' AND tracks LIKE '%%%s%%' ORDER BY tracks ASC", $colname_Recordset1);
sprintf("SELECT * FROM items WHERE freeze <> '1' AND tracks LIKE '%%%s%%' ORDER BY tracks ASC", $colname_Recordset1);
sprintf("SELECT * FROM items WHERE freeze <> '1' AND tracks LIKE '%%%s%%' ORDER BY tracks ASC", $colname_Recordset1);

$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $js) or die(mysql_error());

$query_limit_Recordset1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset1, $startRow_Recordset1, $maxRows_Recordset1);
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset1, $js) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

if (isset($_GET['totalRows_Recordset1'])) {
  $totalRows_Recordset1 = $_GET['totalRows_Recordset1'];
} else {
  $all_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1);
  $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset1);
}
$totalPages_Recordset1 = ceil($totalRows_Recordset1/$maxRows_Recordset1)-1;

$queryString_Recordset1 = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  $newParams = array();
  foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_Recordset1") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_Recordset1") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
    }
  }
  if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_Recordset1 = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
  }
}
$queryString_Recordset1 = sprintf("&totalRows_Recordset1=%d%s", $totalRows_Recordset1, $queryString_Recordset1);
?>[/color]

//connect to database for data result useing like and %wildcard

$db=mysql_connect("localhost","xxx","xxx");
mysql_select_db("promotor" , $db);



$query="select * from xxxxx where xxx like '%".$xxx."%'and xxx like '%".$xxx."%'

Thanks for the response, but I tried using wild cards and LIKE, but I get an empty qwery everytime I run it with multiple tables being queried.

Here is a snippet of code from my search qwery within the HTML;

[color=red]<table border="1" align="center">
                    <tr class="style9">
                      <td class="style13">Records Matching Your Search Criteria </td>

                    </tr>
                    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>
                  </table>[/color]

Thanks in advance for your help.
