Question

I\'m bulding a search function for my web site and wish to search by two columns: title and author.

Query:

SELECT title, bookID, publisher, pubDate, boo         


        

Answer 1

SELECT title, bookID, publisher, pubDate, book_image, books.authorID, authors.author 
FROM books, authors 
WHERE books.authorID = authors.authorID 
        AND (title LIKE '$queryString%' OR author LIKE '$queryString%')LIMIT 5
