Hi
I have a simple from which uses the post method to get to my page script
results.php
in results.php I have
$find=$_POST["find"]; //this works perfectly, echo $find gives me the search
term as entered
I then connect to mysql and select the db successfully.
After that, I have the following:
$find = strtoupper($find);
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim($find);
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news_items WHERE upper('headline') LIKE
'%$find%'");
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($data)) { //etc
I get no error messages, but no results to work with either. It returns a
"no results" message that I put in further on in the script. A casual look
at the db shows that I should be getting results. I'm pretty sure that the
problem is in the query, but for the life of me I can't see the problem.
Kind regards
David
