I am trying to create a search - drop down query from mysql database. Here is the code:

 

<h2>Search</h2>

<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">

Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in

<Select NAME="field">

<Option VALUE="Book Title">Book Title</option>

<Option VALUE="Author">Author</option>

<Option VALUE="Category">Category</option>

</Select>

<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />

<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />

</form>

<?

//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form

if ($searching =="yes")

{

echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>";

 

//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error

if ($find == "")

{

echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";

exit;

}

 

// Otherwise we connect to our Database

mysql_connect("mysqlv3", "*****", "*****") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("library") or die(mysql_error());

 

// We preform a bit of filtering

$find = strtoupper($find);

$find = strip_tags($find);

$find = trim ($find);

 

//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified

$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM MasterList WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'");

 

//And we display the results

while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))

{

echo $result['Book Title'];

echo " ";

echo $result['Author'];

echo "<br>";

echo $result['Category'];

echo "<br>";

echo "<br>";

}

 

//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that

$anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data);

if ($anymatches == 0)

{

echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>";

}

 

//And we remind them what they searched for

echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find;

}

?>

 

 

However I keep getting both of these errors:
