Searching with pull down menu


richarddddd

Recommended Posts

I would like to have a mechanism that I can show records by using a pull down menu. I created this script (and probably there a lot of mistakes in it and therefore I need the help from you):

$query="SELECT answer_date, category, countryb, question, answer FROM faqhcch WHERE $zoekcat LIKE 'categoryb' ORDER BY answer_date DESC LIMIT 0,7";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_num_rows($result);

mysql_close();

?>


<form name="form1" method="post" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
<select name="zoekcat">
<option>Select Member State</option>
