Need help with a sql statement used to select a specific address. For example I have a database named musickey_TESTER, and a table named PERMITMASTER. I would like to select an exact record from the ADDRESS field. i.e 509 BERRY CT. I have tried many statements but can only get it to work searching on the address number. 

Here is what my statement looks like. 

"select * from PERMITMASTER where ADDRESS LIKE '%$search%' "

This produces no results however when I input just the numeric part of the address it will return any address with that number in the string.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you so much sir! with a slight modification it is now up and running! 

$search = "509 BERRY CT"; changed to $search=$_POST['search']; in order for the user defined form entry to work.

My only issue now is to be able to return the DOCUMENTS field as a hyperlink with a friendly name.
echo $results['PERMIT DOCUMENT'];
Thanks again mirhashmi2014‌ and bixb0012‌ greatly appreciate your efforts.

I think something like below should work for you.

// define friendly name
$permitDocument = $results['PERMIT DOCUMENT'];
if(strcasecmp($permitDocument, '123456' )==0)
{
   $friendlyName = "ABC";
}

echo "<a href='".$results['PERMIT DOCUMENT']."'>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍".$friendlyName."</a>"
