I need to use , instead of space to separate keywords.

I want to use Coppermine but I need it to integrate with other databases.  One of the most important uses 8 character codes that sometimes include spaces.  I overcame this wil a simple gallery script by changing the script where it used the "explode" function,  changing the character  between words to be , instead of space. So I then enter keywords like AMG 05AL, KIA 06MA, HOND06AC  etc

This works while only admin can enter keywords but will not be ideal if galleries are made public.

I could use other fields for this code but then could I search using those keywords?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. ( I am a beginner with PHP and MySQL)

You can add it as a custom field - you can search on those too.

Thanks I will try that.
