How to create a search form using php????
Hi I am wondering, can we create a search form with php????? Something like a page with a textbox and a button where a user can type in keywords that they(users) wanted to find which is within the database..... (In my case I am using an ODBC/Microsoft access).....

Thanks for the info...... But why should I try to avoid using odbc/access????? Is it not good???
Re: How to create a search form using php????
Access databases are not particularly well-suited to use through websites. I recommend using a MySQL database, or a SQLLite database.

there are a lot of reasons that access databases are crap. haha, found this article: http://databases.aspfaq.com/database/wh ... ccess.html
mano, i dont understand your question.
if you want to search a database, use sql. if you want to search a file use file and text handling functions.

Mano, are you talking about Google Suggestions? Where you start typing and it gives you possibly searches?
