			while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
			// display results

				echo "<a href=\"display_services.php?id=".$row['service2id']."\">" .$row['name']. "</a><br>";
			}


			}
				echo "<p>Find a Service here. </p>";
					for ($i = 'A'; $i != 'AA'; $i++){
			echo "<a href = \"?search=$i\"> $i </a>";
			}

		?>
                      </p> <p>OR Choose a Category below:</p>
                <p> 
                  <?php
			$category = array('Employment', 'Government', 'Training', 'Rehabilitation', 'Accommodation', 'Sport and Leisure', 'Information', 'Personal Support', 'Education', 'Transition to Work', 'Community Participation'); 
			foreach($category as $cat) {
  				echo '<a href="?search2='.$cat.'">'.$cat.'</a> <br>';
				}

			?>

 

Ok i have a a-z list, where if u click on a letter it looks up every record with that letter, straight forward enough.  Then i have a list of categories......some records are not being displayed when they should.  If you click on a category it looks up the category field to see if that category is there, then displays the record.  Some records have all categories, so in that field, "all" is entered.  If a record has "all" it is not displayed if any of the categories are clicked on.  how can i fix the above code so if a record as "all" in the category field, it is displayed no matter what category is picked? 

 

hope this makes sense....

change line

	
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM services WHERE category LIKE '%".$search2."%';") or die(mysql_error());

to

	
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM services WHERE category LIKE '%".$search2."%' OR category = 'all';") or die(mysql_error());
