You can do one thing use textbox to input letters. THen retrive textbox value and then put in the like clause of your select query Ex: "SELECT * FROM students where idnum = '$_GET[mysearch]' or fname = '$_GET[mysearch]' or lname = '$_GET[mysearch]' or midin = '$_GET[mysearch]' or gender = '$_GET[mysearch]' …

I think you should try with urlencode($your_response); This will work for sure...

You can use class or id attribute of anchor tag! Ex: <a href="a.htm" id="red"> <a href="a.htm" id="blue"> And then use CSS. like: a.red{color:red} a.blue{color:blue}
