I hope this isn't a copy/paste from your code as it's going to cause
problems with sql queries (put a ' in one of your keywords and see what
happens). If it is, you need to use mysql_real_escape_string.
If it's not, then ignore :P

The easiest way would be to do something like this:
$keyword_search = '';
foreach(explode(" ", $keyword) as $key) {
$keyword_search .= "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($key) . "', ";
}
// take off the last 2 chars - one is a 'space' and the other is the
last ','
$keyword_search = substr($keyword_search, 0, -2);
