Can anyone point me to an easy to understand tutorial to create a search box using certain fields from different tables in a MySql database/PHP. I am new to PHP and would like to include this on each page in my site. The database is already created and and connecting fine.

Thanks

Atchy

Are you needing to search by multiple selections or just a keyword search?

Hi Arandlett,
I am hoping to search by keywords. My current site uses seperate text boxes to search by Firstname, Surname, county and medium. I would like users to be able to key into the one text box 2 maybe 3 keywords to search the relevant tables in the database.
Hope this helps

Further research has led me to believe that I need to use Full Text in MySql. I have found one tutorial showing the PHP code but is there any info about how to set this up in Dreamweaver? I am a newbie to PHP and finding it a challenge.

TIA

John
