    I would be glad if you could provide me the shortcode for your abase plugin to search multiple variables.

    Eg: Instead of entering only one variable in the search textbox i.e Richard

    What’s the shortcode for multiple variables i.e Richard, Dennis, Cedric, Kath etc

    Hope you would reply soon.

    Thanks

    If you are familiar with SQL, you can do that directly as follows:

    [abase sql=’select cultivar,hybrid from asa_plants where cultivar in (“Carolyn”,”Bob Stewart”)’]

    The above is a query from my database, obviously, but yours should be similar. Note that the text from the search field will need to be enclosed in double quotes, as shown, and the whole query in single quotes.

    Note that abase does not work with PHP 7. I have a fix for that if you are interested.

    Thanks Paul. I am using Abase plugin to generate search form. Here is the link to plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/abase/. But, unfortunately the SQL query you mentioned won’t help me as I want a text box where people will enter search text 1 every line and it would search from my database and display the results.

    JUST LIKE THIS –

    USNLE
    JFHK8
    K3JFHR
    FHFHE

    THE LIST CAN GO ON. IT SHOULD SHOW THE RESULTS ACCORDINGLY. I DON’T WANT THE SQL QUERY BUT SHORTCODE USING ABASE PLUGIN OR ANY OTHER PLUGIN WHICH CAN DO THIS.
