if I create a text box:
<body>
<form action="nextpage.html" method="GET" name="myform">
<input type="Text" name="surname" align="TOP"
size="25"><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Submit" align="MIDDLE">
</form>
how do I go about extracting a surname from a mysql database?
will it be something along the lines?
select firstname,surname
from employees
where surname = textbox.surname;
new to this so im trying to get my head around it, basically i just want to
search a mysql database by someones surname.
cheers!
