Hello,

I have a basic question I can't figure out.

My site lets people enter in their information... I now want to be able for
a user to search the database.  For example, enter in "firstname" or
"lastname" in a text box, hit submit, and have the results returned.

How do I write this in PHP?

I've tried lots of twists on SELECT * FROM table WHERE lastname=$lastname...
but can't get it to work...

any help greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Hedges


How 'bout....


SELECT * FROM dbName.tableName WHERE lastname LIKE '%$lastname%'
