using the LIKE command

[ferellie]

I am using the following code to search for information in my database using keywords which are inputted into a search box.

foreach($_POST as $key => $val) { // This loops through the form variables
$$key = $val; // Assigns variables with the same names as the input names
} // i.e. the text box inputSearch would have a variable name of $inputSearch

// read data from database
$result = mysql_query("select * from $table WHERE keywords LIKE '%$inputSearch%' order by id desc limit $rows", $link)
or die ("Could not read data because ".mysql_error());


Problem is, the query results are not quite what I had in mind! If the field contained the words 'one two three' and the user searched for 'three two' the query would return nothing. Is there a way of modifying the search to accomplish this? I want my search to find any matching words.

Thanks again,

Peter
