If you can display the text you can also display the name of the image that you upload for that author or book, you don't need a special search script, you need only a field for the image

use like clause in query . retrive all the information frm database which is related to searchcontent. there is no need to serch image.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate your contributions, but does anyone know how i can get a full working bookstore script example so i can learn from...

no...you can find code snippets of concepts. you try your self. we will help you.

i think this code help you, it fetch data from database
<?php
$q = 'select * from table_name';
$r = mysql_query($q);
?>
<table>

<tr>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>

<?php
while($row=mysql_fetch_object($r)){
echo "<tr><td><b>$row->name</td>
?>

If this is your problem, I'd bet you need to learn to make algorithms and plan things out before coding them.

Basic programming process:

1: Figure out exactly what your program needs to do. As detailed as possible. (VERY IMPORTANT)
2: Figure out how you can do that. Make a set of steps(algorithm) for your program to follow. (VERY IMPORTANT)
3: Code it
4: Test/debug
