Hi,
I have a very simple form that searches a MySQL database and I want to
be able to have the search appear on the same page as the search.
<FORM NAME="search" METHOD="post" ACTION="<? $PHP_SELF;
?>">
<INPUT type=text size=30 name=player>
<INPUT TYPE="image" src="../images/submit.gif" width="75"
height"30" value="submit">
</FORM>
The part that confuses me is how I run the code for the search.
Currently I have it in a function and at the top of the script I have an
IF statement that checks to see if the submit button has been pressed,
if it has I go to the function. This is not working, and I'm not even
sure this is the right way to go about it.
I'm probably doing this wrong and would appreciate it if someone could
set me straight.
