Radioactive Frog Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 yeah that is what i meant, having different boxes coming in. sorry if i didnt make myself clear! i have managed to sort it now i am using the code.... SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE (hotelname LIKE \'%$hotelplace%\' OR hoteladdress LIKE \'%$hotelplace%\' OR hotelcountry LIKE \'%$hotelplace%\' OR hotelphone LIKE \'%$hotelplace%\') AND (hotelcountry LIKE \'%$country%\') AND (hotelrating LIKE \'%$rating%\') LIMIT 0, 50 which works nicely!! All i gotta sort out now is what happens if the user enters a comma or other punctuation on the search field!! cheers RF Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/1528-two-search-fields-how-to-query/#findComment-5068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokus Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Why not eliminate their ability to enter other chars then AZ and 0-9. This can be done pretty easily with regex.
