Searching a database, using %

[DaveLinger]

hokay, I rewrote it all. Here's my current code.

[code]<?php
include('includes/config.php');
include('includes/header.php');

$platform = $_POST['platform'];
$developer = $_POST['developer'];
$publisher = $_POST['publisher'];
$fletter = $_POST['fletter'];
$sortby = $_POST['sort'];

if (!$link = mysql_connect($sqlserver, $sqlusername, $sqlpassword)) {
  echo 'Could not connect to mysql';
  exit;
}

if (!mysql_select_db($sqldatabase, $link)) {
  echo 'Could not select database';
  exit;
}

if($fletter == '%'){
$query="SELECT * FROM nuke_seccont WHERE secid LIKE '$platform' AND developer LIKE '$developer' AND publisher LIKE '$publisher' ORDER BY $sortby DESC";
}ELSE{
$query="SELECT * FROM nuke_seccont WHERE secid LIKE '$platform' AND developer LIKE '$developer' AND publisher LIKE '$publisher' AND fletter='$fletter' ORDER BY $sortby DESC";
}
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Problem with the query: $query<br>" . mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc())
{
$artid = $row['artid'];
$secid = $row['secid'];
$title = $row['title'];
$counter = $row['counter'];
echo "$artid<br>$secid<br>$title<br>$counter<br><br>";
}

include('includes/footer.php');

?>[/code]

I have discovered that if I try to echo anything before I echo the results it causes the white screen problem. Even now, no results are displayed. Any ideas?
