// Build SQL Query 

$query = "select videos from the_table where 1st_field like \"%$trimmed%\" 

  order by 1st_field"; // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query

 

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM videos WHERE id='$getid'");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
if ($numrows == 1){
	$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
	$title = $row['title'];
	$user_name = $row['user_name'];
	$keywords = $row['keywords'];
	$date = $row['date'];
	$description = $row['description'];

	$meta_description = "$title by $user_name - $date";
	$meta_keywords = "$keywords";
	$title = "$title by $user_name Videos";
