Hello All,
I am new to PHP, and I am trying to design what I thought would be a fairly simple
form, that queries a MYSQL database for two fields, (first, and last name). It should
then return the entire results of the entry in the table. This part is actually 5
fields.
If I run the script with static entries for "first", and "last", the process work
flawlessly (as it should). If I try using variables for the search values, I do not
receive any results. I have tried changing the form method from post, to get, and the
problem continues. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. The first
grouping is the html form, the second set is the php form that actually performs the
search. Also the username, and password are populated in the actual script, I just
took them out for the email. Thanks again.

<head><title>Contact lookup form</title></head>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="first"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="last"><br>
<input type="submit" value="lookup">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
define ('mysql_host', 'localhost');
define ('mysql_user', '');
define ('mysql_pass', '');
define ('mysql_db', 'chs');
if (! mysql_connect(mysql_host, mysql_user, mysql_pass) )
{
die('Failed to connect to host " ' . mysql_host . ' " . ');
}
else
{
echo '' . mysql_host . '<br>';
}
mysql_select_db(mysql_db);
if ($http_get_vars['first'] && $http_get_vars['last'])
{
echo $http_get_vars['first'] . ' ' . $http_get_vars['last'] . '<br>';
}
$result=mysql_query("select * from chs where first='$first' or last='$last'");
echo "<h2 align='center'>Results</h2>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo
"<b>{$row['first']} {$row['last']}   {$row['branch']}   {$row['extension']}  
 {$row['voice_mail']}   {$row['position']}</b> <br>";
}
?>
