Hi,

I'm having a syntax problem when trying to use the wild card '%' in  
my query. Here is my code

$query = 'SELECT *
         FROM `memberDirectory`
         WHERE `business_name` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['business_name'].'%'' OR
         `address` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['address'].'%'' OR
         `suite` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['suite'].'%'' OR
         `city` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['city'].'%'' OR
         `cat1` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['category'].'%'' OR
         `cat2` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['category'].'%'' OR
         `cat3` LIKE ''%'.$_POST['category'].'%''
         ORDER BY `business_name`';

I do not show it here but I do a 'htmlspecialchars(trim()) on the  
$_POST vars earlier in the script. However the error I'm getting is  
on the line with that starts 'WHERE' and the error reads:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in / 
home/paloscha/public_html/result.php on line 29

Can someone maybe point me in a direction.

Thanks,
Mike
