Hi all,

Long time no POST (New job busy and all)

Just doing a small script for my work and i've come across a script that seems to be case sensitive, yet in my database the field is set as case insensitive??

Here is my code:

[code]<?php
$clientsearch=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['clientname']);
$searchtype=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['searchtype']);
if ($searchtype == 'start') {
$searchfor="$clientsearch%";
}
if ($searchtype == 'end') {
$searchfor="%$clientsearch";
}
if ($searchtype == 'any') {
$searchfor="%$clientsearch%";
}

$getclients=mysql_query("SELECT client, ID FROM clients WHERE client LIKE '$searchfor' ORDER BY client ASC");
while ($client=mysql_fetch_array($getclients)) {
echo "<option value=\"$client[ID]\" >$client[client]</option>";
}
?>[/code]

Any idea's?

Regards

hmm that seems to be all about making case sensitive searches not making something search case insensitive...

Might be missing somthing but i read the page 3 times...

Anything extra?
