This is an example of how to create a basic search
database e.g. using form one enters search criteria, it
searches mySQL database, and returns nicely
formatted table output with
header line followed by rows of data -- each row in
an alternating color.
Very basic but designed for new users who want to
understand how this works. Good first project for
someone wanting to create an address book, employee
list, etc.

dude, your file contains no example on how to make the query using a form.... all it does it spit out all the data without allowing the viewer to specify a search criteria

all it takes is a little common sense to replace those quotation marks with the form information it`s really not that hard. Maybe you should read some tutorials before you try taking apart examples to study them

Thanks! It was what I needed, with a little modification, of course, but I changed 3 lines of code in my code due to the info you provided, and my search works great. I DID change the search parameter to include a % BEFORE the variable as well as after to get all matches, and now I can get all songs with the word LOVE in it or search ELVIS OR PRESLEY and come up with all the records available. It`s a Karaoke Song List, check it out at http://karaoke.maryandmarthashouse.com - I`m still working on it, so don`t be too judgmental, but the search works correctly. Thanks again.
