Hello,
It seems to me you are mixing up the terms "row" and "column". But I
might be wrong.
Anyway, to search all _columns_ in a database you have make a query like
this:
$result = mysql_query("select * from $dbtable where column1 like
'%$first_name%' OR column2 like '%$first_name%' OR column3 .......");
