    <p>I agree with @Caleb But still you wanna be with this database design, you can do like this, this is most in-efficient way because of your DB structure.</p> <p>I have not tested this, so there might be some syntax errors.</p> <pre><code>$selQuery = "select * from instruments LEFT JOIN people ON instruments.id=people.id where instrument1 like 'guitar' OR instrument2 like 'guitar' OR instrument3 like 'guitar' OR instrument4 like 'guitar' OR instrument5 like 'guitar'"; $resQuery = mysql_query($selQuery) $peoples = array(); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resQuery)) { for($i = 1; $i&lt;= 5; $i++ ) { if(strtolower($row['instrument'.$i]) == strtolower('Guitar')) { $people = array(); $people['id'] = $row['id']; $people['first'] = $row['first']; $people['email'] = $row['email']; $people['instrument'] = $row['instrument'.$i]; $people['grade'] = $row['grade'.$i]; $people['standard'] = $row['standard'.$i]; $people['comments'] = $row['comments'.$i]; array_push($peoples , $people); break; } } } </code></pre> <p>ok I have reviewed ur code,</p> <p>make changes as below</p> <pre><code>//Find instruments searched for: $query = "SELECT * from instruments where '$search' in (instrument , instrument2, instrument3, instrument4, instrument5)"; $result = @mysql_query($query); //Start building the table: $table = "&lt;th&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;You searched for $search&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Email &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Course &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grade &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standard &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; $peoples = array(); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ if(strtolower($row['instrument']) == strtolower($search)) { $people = array(); $people['id'] = $row['id']; $people['instrument'] = $row['instrument'.$i]; $people['grade'] = $row['grade'.$i]; $people['standard'] = $row['standard'.$i]; $people['comments'] = $row['comments'.$i]; array_push($peoples , $people); continue; } for($i = 2; $i&lt;= 5; $i++ ) { if(strtolower($row['instrument'.$i]) == strtolower($search)) { $people = array(); $people['id'] = $row['id']; $people['instrument'] = $row['instrument'.$i]; $people['grade'] = $row['grade'.$i]; $people['standard'] = $row['standard'.$i]; $people['comments'] = $row['comments'.$i]; array_push($peoples , $people); break; } } } foreach($peoples as $people) { $peoplequery = "SELECT * FROM people WHERE id = '".$people[id]."'"; $peopleresults = @mysql_query($peoplequery); $getpeopleresults = mysql_fetch_assoc($peopleresults); //add the details returned by the database to the table: $table .= " &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$getpeopleresults[first]} {$getpeopleresults[last]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$getpeopleresults[email]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$getpeopleresults[course]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$people[grade]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$people[standard]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;{$people[comments]}&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=8&gt;&lt;hr size=1 color=gray&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; } "; } </code></pre>

    1. COCool - currently I just have **'$query = "SELECT * FROM instruments WHERE '$search' IN (instrument , instrument2, instrument3, instrument4, instrument5"; $result = @mysql_query($query);**' -how could I adapt this to your code?

    2. COjust replace $selQuery with this "SELECT * from instruments left join people on instruments.id = people.id where '$search' in (instrument1 , instrument2, instrument3, instrument4, instrument5" $result = @mysql_query($query); this might work. best of luck.

    3. CO@Maulik Getting close I can feel it, please check the edit of my question, this I think is the only bit I now need to edit, this is the bit of code that the e-mail function uses. What do I need to change here?

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
