Hi All, I've set up my database, populated all the fields and it's ready to go with the exception of access to it by my customers. What the database is, is a online price guide for a line of collectible figurines. Basically what I want to do is provide my customers with a search box that will return what information I have in the data base, eg "Name, Description, Date Issued and Retail Value" All I need them to do is type in the name of the figurine and click submit, but my host does not provide any example forms to do this I can alter, just a snippit of PHP, but no hint as to where it goes on the HTML form, or where I upload the whole thing to. If anyone could show me an example or direct me to a simple tutorial for it I would be grateful.
Hundreds of examples of php doing this. Have you tried google? If you are using Perl, thousands exist if you look for CGI. Course you will have to start with the HTML part. www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp Should cover every aspect. It is MySQL correct?
Yes , it's Mysql set up through the phpmyadmin panel. I will give your link a squint, everything I've found to date doesn't tell me what I'm looking for, I picked up a copy php mysql for dummies and I couldn't get the forms to work. Lovejoy
