Hi chuck,
use left()
assuming your column is called name, then something like this will do:
$letter = a;
$get = @mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table WHERE LEFT(surname, 1) = '$letter'
ORDER BY surname ASC);
That should get out all of the fields beginning with a or A and list them
alphabetically.
An option too:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE SURNAME LIKE 'a%' ORDER BY surname ASC

To help you diagnose the problem, I suggest:
$query
You're using the wildcard in the wrong place.
Should be
like '$letter%';
Or,
left(column, 1) = '$letter';
use a die() and mysql_error() to report problems to the browser:
$result =mysql_query(SELECT * FROM emply_info WHERE LEFT(Lname, 1) =
'$letter' ORDER BY Lname, Fname DESC,$db)
or
