I'm working on setting up my first database search function and I can't figure out the problem I'm having. I followed this guide php search script - php search engine - php mysql search with some changes to the column names for my database.
I originally had the query
SELECT zip FROM locate WHERE MATCH(zip,city,state) AGAINST '%$find%'
like this
SELECT * FROM locate WHERE city LIKE'%$find%'
but that didn't work either.
What am I donig wrong here?

PHP Code:
<h2>Zip Code Look-Up</h2>
<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
City :
<input type="text" name="find" />
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</form>
<?
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form
if ($searching =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>";
//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term</p>";
exit;
}
// Otherwise we connect to our Database
include 'connect.php';
// We preform a bit of filtering
$find = strtoupper($find);
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$data = mysql_query("SELECT zip FROM locate WHERE MATCH(zip,city,state) AGAINST '%$find%'");
//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{
echo $result['zip'];
echo " ";
echo $result['city'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['state'];
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
}
//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that
$anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>";
}
//And we remind them what they searched for
echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find;
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
