I've modified my query to
$result = mysql_query("SELECT coursecode, title FROM courses WHERE title
LIKE '$tsearch' ORDER BY title",$db);
Where $tsearch is my search string.
I'm not getting any results from this though
What i am trying to achieve is to look in title and produce a result if the
string appears.
so searching for 'Training Course" will find results like
Training Course 1
Training Course 2
Training Course n, etc.
Is LIKE the best way to do this or should i be using wildcards?
