 * I’m new to WordPress and could really use all the help I can get 🙂
 * A little background information about my site might help clarify my question.
 * Users access my site and are able to download tickets, each ticket has a unique
   number on it. When a different user, or possibly the same user gets on the site
   and enters the number from a ticket into a text box I want to be able to search
   my database and see if the ticket number is already in use. If it is not in use
   then I would just have a message pop up saying that the ticket does not exist.
   If the ticket number is in the database then the user would be able to view that
   ticket activity. I hope this makes sense. Basically I just need to be able to
   validate that a number entered into a text box is in my database. Please help
   and thanks in advance 🙂
