Merlin, The search page has about 10 search fields with 2 being date related and one comment related. I gather this input and combine this into one string. This combined entry is then passed to the results page that shows 25 records at a time. During this passing, I'm having to use the $_get function on the results page. I could pass all of the variables and then perform this, but the way I have this setup, I only have to pass the entire combined string and just stripslashes and show the results 25 at a time. I did find a work around with the str_replace function. I just add a "t" to the % symbol (%t) and then remove the "t" using the str_replace function. Works well. I may be going about this all wrong as displaying searches should be simple enough. But I've found that using the like function tends to cause issues with $_get and this seems to be the easiest work around. Don't want to show a result of 100+ records from a search. Trying to keep this at about 25 per page. By combining the search string and just passing this instead of 10 plus fields and combining strings every pass seems to work well. If there is a simpler way, I would love to acquire some examples? Still relatively new to MySQL and PHP, but these to combined DB tools seem to be only limited to my skills and programming intuitiveness... which still needs polishing. :)
