Search help

[MIGhunter]

I found a tutorial on a search function.  I ran through the tutorial and then altered it for what I was doing.  Everything works as suspected except if I do a search with only numbers, it says to enter a search query.  How can I alter it so it works with numbers only?  i.e. j1111 will work but 1111 will not.

A quick look at that pastebin showed me that the code you used was originally intended as a user search of some kind.

 

If you notice the "preg_match" function, it is checking the input from the form (via POST) that it contains only a-z and A-Z characters. You just need to add 0-9 also.

That was it.  Thank you for your help. 

 

Anyone know of a good jQuery or Prototype autocomplete tutorial that I can implement.  It's a little confusing on how to use autocomplete with php and a database.
