How about: SELECT * FROM cd_list WHERE searchstring LIKE '%{$searchstring}%' Then again, do you actually have a column called "searchstring" in your table? In any case, the way you had it didn't seem to make much sense unless you wanted to search a user-supplied column for a string that literally contained the string "searchstring". miguel --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
