Passing form variables to php does not work

As Micha pointed out, you use LIKE only when you're using wildcard
characters in the search. % matches anything or nothing, and _ (an
underscore) matches exactly one character.

LIKE '%don' matches Don, London, Hillingdon, but not Adonis.
LIKE '%don%' matches Don, London, Hillingdon, and Adonis.
= 'don' matches don (case-insensitive), and nothing else.

Hi David,
Thank you for your help and thank you everyone else too.

I kept modding the code to see if it would work, I am a real basic user of PHP and the ebook I was using was telling me to use "LIKE"

I get the gist of this now and feel confident in creating this kind of function again.

Yes. How about posting some of the code that doesn't work?
