search program

I have a database that I need to search. The database is currently in a pipe delimated flatfile format. I want the user to be able to check several different checkboxes on a form e.g. hunting, fishing, tv, boat rental, live bait, and then I want to return all records that contain all the parameters they selected on the form. I can currently do it using PERL if they are searching for one term but searching for more than one term is beyond my skills. I can build the front end html form. I am willing to do this with mysql and php if the programmer recommends it. This is probably a piece of cake for you programmers out there so how about it, any takers? ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

Hope this helps describe what I need. I have never used this service before and want to make it as easy as possible for all :-) * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Monday Apr 24, 2006 5:01:43 PM: Edited the example files again. Instead of using field names in the search fields I am going to use codes. I belive this will make you coders job easier. See the new zip file html3.zip. Output file stayed the same. Search form has changed. I have had one client submit the search criteria to me so I have one example of a data record to be searched. Should I upload? When the client submits this data to me should I place the data/codes e.g |9991|9992|9997| in their own field or should all the codes be placed in one field? |9991 9992 9997|. Hope this helps and I am not confusing you bidders :-) * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Thursday May 4, 2006 3:22:55 PM: New zip file uploaded that contains sample data, front end sample, back end sample, and a [login to view URL] file to hopefully explain things better. I think I have all the pieces in place and am ready to rock on this project. Thanks - Tim ## Platform System is a fully patched Cobalt Raq 550. Linux, Mysql, php, SSI, Perl and probably more stuff that I don't know how to use.
