Okay, thank you all again for your input, I have tried a number of suggestions
to work out what is happening. Just to reiterate here is the search form which
is on a different page.
Search by Client ID
shown below is the datasearch.php page
';
echo $term . '';
$result = mysql_query($q
Oliver Kennedy wrote:
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid = '%".$term"%'";
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid = '%".$term."%'";
Note missing '.'
But that should be the same as
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid LIKE '".$term."'";

David, Sascha thank you both for your help. Using the query
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid = '$term'";
echo $query . '';
$result = mysql_query($query);
as suggested printed out the below
SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clientid = ''
This seems to indicate that it is not seeing
