Just an update: ignore my last post, the quotes works fine online, just not locally for some reason. Thanks.

Hi. I love your script and am messing around with it on my little database to help me learn more PHP. It works great, but anything with quotes or an apostrophe just stops the script, not even “0” results or an error. Any idea what it could be? I can live with the >50% of entries and the small-string denial, but if you know ways to get around those I’d listen.

It does work, in fact - but it doesn’t automatically do wildcard searches. If you add the MySQL wildcard operator (*) at the end of a word, you’ll get the wildcard search: merlo* or pino*, for example.

hi there!

When i type (merlot or pinot), got results…ok!
but when typing (merlo or pino), no results…
even, merlo, merl and so on….

is it possible to get this to work ?

tried california, which was ok…but for (californi), got no results….is this correct ?…have one script done by myself that works like this…but i’d like to get results when people type CALIFORNIA or CALIFO or CALIFORNI …is is possible ?

thanks a lot!
