    <p>I am having problems with output from my (MySQL) database.</p> <p>attractionData database</p> <pre><code> id | tags ------------------------------------- 1 | castle a, castle b, fakecastle c 2 | museum a, fakemuseum b, museum c ... </code></pre> <p>And on a site I have an input field, which has autoSuggest function. So in my jQuery I have an .keyup event, which send data to ajax file, and the ajax file outputs the list of suggestions (autosuggest).</p> <p>So now if I type in the input "castle a..." it will output the "1" (im outputting the id). And if i type in "museum a" it will return "2".</p> <p>So my question is... Is it somehow possible that if I would type in "fakecastle" that it would return "1"? I know this could be done with the <code>explode(',', $string)</code>.</p> <p>I've been messing around with FIND_IN_SET(), but I somehow didn't achieve the result I wanted. So I am still stucked with </p> <p><code>mysql_query("SELECT tags FROM attractionData WHERE (tags LIKE '$search%') ")</code> $search = text from the input field.</p> <p>EDIT</p> <pre><code>if(isset($_POST['search']) == true &amp;&amp; empty($_POST['search']) == false){ $search = $_POST['search']; $search = mysql_real_escape_string($search); $query = mysql_query("SELECT tags FROM attractionData WHERE (tags LIKE '$search%') ") while(($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) !== false){ echo "&lt;li class='auto'&gt;".$row['friendEmail'] ."&lt;/li&gt;"; } </code></pre> <p>Any help would be appreciated</p> <p>Ty, Sebastian</p>

    1. CONormalize your table and all your problems will disappear. Stop using `mysql_` functions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
