Good Evening Everyone,
Im fairly new to php/mysql. I have a form and php search output script that works with a few search criteria. Im want to expand to include multiple types or search criteria from a form. Im coming unstuck with what to use within the string to correctly build the query. Ill post the form and php then explain a bit further
FORM
PHP Search output
I know I need to build the query around this point
I want the search to output multiple countries/types and colours
but specific a price/size range.
Im not looking for someone to drop a solution on me, more an idea what combination of LIKE / AGAINST etc etc I should be using, or if I should be looking at it a different way.
Ive tried a#to put a few combinations together, but they either out put 1 item or nothing at all
Any help would be appreciated
