Meethoo as it says in the PHP documentation, you can access a MySQL server whether it's on the same machine as the PHP install or not. ie. mysql_connect('localhost', $user, $pass) OR mysql_connect('111.111.111.111', $user, $pass) Beau // -Original Message- // From: Meethoo Salim [mailto

I think the other replies to this are missing the point. You want to search a text field for the word Wash, and want to put the space in so you can search with the space, eliminating words which begin with wash. But then, if you think about it, that means you'd have to search for commas, and fu

Yes, I see a few benefits. 1. It makes the code easier to read. 2. It makes the code easier to debug. Imagine the following: $sql = "SELECT * FROM tblName"; $result = mysql_query($sql); Now if you want to print the sql and not do the select, you would simply add a line $sql = "SELECT * FROM t

I haven't set up any text-based searches before, but when you say: If the user types 'Wash' I don't want any matches for 'Washington', 'Washing', etc. Aren't you, in essence, saying that you want to search for "Wash"? Meaning that your query could just say WHERE name = '$var' (where $var is set
