Jennifer,
In the manual it's probably under the SELECT heading. (I've not checked, but that's a godd spot to start looking for the bits that can amke up the WHERE clause.) Try removing the single quotes - you have one before >%shopsear< and another following iname, as > iname'" < Sorry this is a bit vague, but if you need the single quotes arounf shopsearch you may have to build up the SQL statement bit by bit. Remember to echo $query so that you will know if it look right.
