Adding search filters to my table columns
Question
I need someone to show me how you would create a simple table to search each column of data that I insert from this form. I am looking for the easiest way to create a table with search boxes that can filter each column. DB: Mysql Field types: text Below shows the variables I am using for my form that posts the data to the database.
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"] == "Submit")
{
for ($count = 1; $count <= 9; $count++)
{
$fields[$count] = "";
if (isset($_POST["field" . $count . ""]))
{
$fields[$count] = trim($_POST["field" . $count . ""]);
//echo $fields[$count] . "<br />";
}
}
$con = mysql_connect("local", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("DB", $con);
$fromzip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fromzip']);
$tozip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tozip']);
$insert = "INSERT INTO Carriers (`fromzip` ,`tozip` ,`date`) VALUES('$fromzip' ,'$tozip' , NOW())";
mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());
$select = "SELECT `fromzip` ,`tozip` , FROM `Carriers` ORDER BY `date` DESC;";
$result = mysql_query($select) or die(mysql_error());
}
?>

Not sure of the structure of the database, but if the area you want to search from is a TEXT, then you can put this where clause into you query:
SELECT * FROM `Carriers` WHERE `carriername` LIKE '%{searchParams}%' ORDER BY date DESC, paymentamount ASC
After that, you could break it down by using explode(" ", $searchParams) and then concatenating them together like:
SELECT * FROM `Carriers` WHERE `carriername` LIKE '%{searchParams[0]}%' OR `carriername` LIKE '%{searchParams[1]}%' ORDER BY date DESC, paymentamount ASC
and so on for each item. Then you could use OR or AND depending on how accurate you want the search to be
