perplexed Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 cant you have different text boxes from your form i.e. you have search as the name or one text box, call another.... ? searchcountry etccc..

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 Quote 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.
