Dear list, I have a telephone database which has "Name" as one of the fields/columns. This field contains single name e.g Robert, double names e.g Robert Downing and more than double names. I want to make a SELECT query using a form whose input name is "Name" i.e '$Name' against the "Name" field in the database. One can type a part/full of one part of the name, or part/full of two parts of a name and goes on likewise for more than double names in the input form.
I believe this SELECT query is accomplished using TRIM and LIKE, something like: $query = ("SELECT * from table_name where Name like '%" & Trim($Name) & "%' "); This $query is not working. Could sombody please provide me a query statement that I could use for my above requirement. Thank you so much.
