Hi there,

I am searching for a way to show the user similar records from the mysql
database. A functionality like this could also be of interest to you.

Does anybody know if this is there is a standard functionality to do
this, or a good way on retrieving this with the help of PHP?

Kind regards, Merlin



Biggest problem is defining similar Even Google hasn't mastered it yet.

There is the LIKE clause in the SELECT statement, or, better still,
MySQL's full text searching capabilities.
