I appreciate the input, what I mean by not working is this:
On the web page itself, when I scroll onto the drop down menu list on 'categories' and then click on a category, thus displaying it in the box and then proceed to click on the 'search' button, it searches throughout the database (mysql), but wont give me the data which is listed under the category which I selected. It merely goes back to the first page of data pulled from the mysql database and thats it.
I did try the code given, but doesnt help, it only makes the whole page dissapear with nothing on, but an error message.
Any further suggestions?
With appreciation,
Dean
