Hi listfellows!
Okay, I'm trying to make a form talk to a SELECT query using PHP. How do I
make input from a form become a PHP variable?
This is how far I've gotten:
<?php
function search_records() {
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo
"$PHP_SELF?action=list_records&title=$formtitle"; ?>">
<input type="text" name="$formtitle"><input type="submit"
name="Submit" value="GO">
</form>
<? } ?>
Now underneath this I have a function list_records() with a page that is
supposed to list the records.
$query = "SELECT title FROM $user_tablename WHERE title REGEXP '$formtitle'
$order_by_str $sort_order_str $limit_str";
This will work if I tell it to select all the records and display them, but
if told to use the $formtitle information it says "empty (sub) expression
from REGEXP."
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Nate
