For the life of me I can not find any help(tutorial) or script.. on how to create a working "user-inputed" search field that would search the working website and a Mysql database. I m trying to build a "Real Estate" website and incorporate a search function that would be able to search through the listings that I would add to the database. I ve spent the last two days looking at everything I could find on the web but- I got nothing that seems to work.. If anyone knows what I m attempting to do and could offer some help.. I ll take it.

Thanks- John.

Thank you for replying
You will get money after making the game because there will be a donate page 50/50

profile?

Similar to myspace- blackplanet.com/migente.com- facebook- etc.

Thank you. I have a business idea which is why I m asking. I m pretty good with MySQL- PHP- etc.

Also- I have Visual Basic 2008...

Just not sure where to start.

Thank you.

My code is as follows- it doesn t work- can you tell me why?

function simplewhile($select- $from) {
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT $select FROM $from
") or die(mysql_error());
$result = $query;
}

simplewhile(timeslot- timeslots);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo <option> .$row[0]. </option> ;
}

trying to select the row "timeslot" from the table "timeslots". Will be repeating this code in the function- so- don t want to keep copying and pasting code. Is there a better way to do this (i.e. oop)- or can you fix my function?
the first two answers don t fix my function- am I calling it correctly?

simplewhile(timeslot- timeslots);

With respect to servers and databases. And what is the difference between those two ? I would assume a large music website like them (or youtube and others) have database systems (relational database management systems like MySQL ?) for users and music...but what are "the servers" ? Are those the computers that host the website ? That provide the bandwith ? And for a site like the above- how many servers are needed ? Or does that depend on the servers ?

I know I want to become a web designer/developer- but I ve been curious about this career in case I get too much stressed with getting ideas of a design and etc- so I want to know what are the programs/software I must learn to become a DBA and always finds a job and have good salary.

I searched which college/university teach this course but so far I found nothing- so for now I m going to learn by reading books but I don t know how many programs/software a DBA need to know in order to always find a good job and have good salary.

So far I found out that a dba need to learn SQL- mysql- maybe oracle- php?- ASP.Net- C#- etc...

Is that all a DBA need to know or do they still need to learn more?

Or can they still find jobs and have great salary without learning alot of stuff?

Please help me and thanks a lot!
