Problem solved!
I can't thank you enough for all of your help and patience through all of this :) Our website now has an active and working search box with a custom search results page in a nice table format for output. I have even successfully imported our current inventory list to the MySQL parts table to finalize what has been a very long road of learning php. This would not have been accomplished without your expertise.
Thank you again. I believe we can safely close this topic out as resolved :)
You certainly deserve 5 stars in my book!
Cheers!
