Right im very new to php and kinda learning as i go, here is my code.

What it is, is when i search a part number it has to be matching the case e.g if i search a6725 it doesnt work but if i search A6725 its returns the result.

please help!!!
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $qresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE part = \"$pt\"");
  2.     $row = mysql_fetch_array($qresult);
  3. 		{
  4. 		do 
  5. 		{
  6. 			echo "<tr><td>".$row['part']."</td></tr>";
  7. 			echo "<tr><td>".$row['desc']."</td></tr>";
  8. 			echo "<tr><td>"; 
  9. 				if ($row['part'] <> $pt){
  10. 					echo $none;
  11. 					}
  12. 				elseif ($row['qt'] == $qty){
  13.    					echo $limit;
  14. 					}		
  15. 				elseif ($row['qt'] >= $qty){
  16.    					echo $in;
  17. 					}
  18. 				elseif ($row['qt'] <= $qty){
  19.    					echo $out;
  20. 					}
  21. 		}
  22. 		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qresult));
  23. 		}	
  24.  
  25. 	echo "</table>";

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $query="SELECT * FROM products WHERE part  LIKE \"%$pt%\""
This will match any string in the column `part` where the substring/string contained in $pt is found
Catch me here!
