Try this:
$thequery="SELECT * FROM support
WHERE (first LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR last LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR
priority LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR inventory='$searchfor' OR owner LIKE '%
$searchfor%' OR building LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR room='$searchfor' OR
email LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR phone LIKE '%$searchfor%' OR issue LIKE '%
$searchfor%' OR c_id LIKE '%$searchfor%')";
$query = mysql_query($thequery,$db);
if(!$query) {
echo $thequery ."<br>\n";
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<br>\n";
exit;
}
$numofrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
This way you get a lot better error information than using those "or die()"
statements. You want to see what query has been made and what error message.
