Hello Everyone,
I have been wanting to develop an application which would do a small time search from an existing DB, which I already have. I have bene thinking about some search logic but I don't know how to work with a "WHAT", "WHERE" and "WHEN" search. Can anyone help me with this???
Thanks in advance !!!
Regards-
Me.

Thanks for the reply... I want to develop a web based application in PHP5 and MySQL5. I want to impliment the search logic. The website will allow the user to search for specific info with " What"..."Where"...and "When" options. for example I wanna know what is the event in Miami on march 22nd. and then submit it should return me some values. I want to know how to impliment the logic???

sounds like something for a basic FULL TEXT search then.
