Probably some PHP developer who read the forum can help you.

if you use multipleSearch:true option the information about the filters will be sent in another format (see the documentation). So you have to modify your server code so that you analyse the 'filters' parameter instead of 'searchField', 'searchString' and 'searchOper' which you do currently.

I don't use PHP myself so I can't give you more code recommendation.

I have set up JQgrid i have the regular single search working, but the advanced toolbar and and multisearch will not work. I am able to pull up the functions and see them but they filter no results. I have even seen in firebug when it searchs it is sending the right request but puls back all data. Im sure im missing something in my server code but struggled to see what it is. 

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery("#list").jqGrid({
