Help : Simple php template w/ variables

[David Nelson]

Hi guys! Great to be here.

 

For an upcoming project I need to setup a script where the user is given a search box, and whatever they type into the box will be called as a variable on the next page (using a single php template)

 

I am not very proficient in PHP, so I need a bit of help to complete this task.

 

The url format will need to be something like http://thesite.com/search.php?q=variable-phpfreaks

 

As I want to be able to send direct links to a page.

 

The visitor would be presented with a search box like this:

 

 

Then, upon submitting, they'd get to a page like this where the content that they inputted is called in multiple areas as the variable:

 

 

If somebody could help me get the basic framework of this in PHP that would be awesome!

 

Thanks a ton guys!
