Hi Tony
Don't know if you got any feedback on this, but I would crate a form on the
HTML page with an input type (say a dropdown list) with the name of, for
example, itemnumber.
The code could be something like this...
<form method="post" action="inventory.php">
<select name="itemnumber">
<option value="9845">Item description</option>
<option value="9846">Item description</option>
<option value="9847">Item description</option>
etc
</select>
</form>
then in inventory.php you can retrieve the value of the variable $itemnumber
to see which item was selected.
Hope this helps!
Dave

Subject: [PHP-DB] Now, I have new problem!!
My server has a cgi-local bin, where all of my cgi scripts have to be stored
in there.
When I input the script into my regular html pages, it doesn't work.
This is the script that I am using and saved as inventory.php,
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("xxxx","xxxxx","xxxxx")
or die ("Could not connect");
if (! @mysql_select_db("xxxxx") )
echo( "<P>Unable to locate the inventory " .
"database at this time.</P>" );
exit();}
$itemx = "9846";
$sql = "SELECT quantity FROM inventory WHERE item = '$itemx'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$link);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$num = $row["quantity"];
if ($num < 1) {
echo "<b><font color=\"#FF0000\">Out of Stock</font></b>";
} else {
echo "<b><font color=\"#0000FF\">In Stock</font></b>";
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
How can I connect from my html page with known value of $itemx = "xxxx" to
this scrip(inventory.php), and get result back on to my html page with words
"In Stock" or "Out of Stock"?
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks for your time again.
Tony
