justsomeguy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 If all you want to do is return records where a certain field contains a certain string, you can do this:SELECT ... FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%string%'For setting up a secure server, the first thing you need to do is buy an SSL certificate from a certificate authority. Your host might have a way to do that already, or they might have certain certificate authorities that they work with. Once the certificate is installed on the web server it will be able to do secure communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpOrTsDuDe.Reese Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Ok. Thanks for the info about the HTTPS server. My birthday just passed a little while ago and my brother promised me a HTTPS server and he had no idea how to get it so I have been scrutinizing around trying to figure out how you would get one. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Any relatively modern web server supports SSL, it just needs a certificate installed to be valid. You can buy certificates from places like VeriSign or Thawte, or do a Google search for SSL certificates to find prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpOrTsDuDe.Reese Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 OK. I told that to my brother and though I believe my website for a Search Engine will not need/require a HTTPS server. When I originally posted this I believed I would stick to my idea of a gaming website. However since I am going onto college I need to think more business-like so a search-engine is needed. Thank you for closing this thread. I have learned what I need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
