simple table search!

[Lynk]

[font=tahoma]i wrote this little thingie, when i move the [b]echo[/b] part, out of the [b]if (){ }[/b] part way below,
it works, but i just cant seem to get it working with the [b]if[/b]....[/font]

anyone?

[code]<? function select5(){
$select5 = "SELECT * FROM lynk_fm WHERE artist LIKE '%$q%' ORDER BY id $sort";
$obj5 = mysql_query($select5) or die($MySQLError.mysql_error());
return $obj5; } ?>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" name="form_search">
<table width="100%" style="border:1px dashed darkgray;">
<tr>  <td width="222" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">Music search</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><input name="q" type="text" class="INPUT" onFocus="if(this.value=='Tiesto')this.value='';" value="Tiesto">
<select name="sort" class="I_send">
  <option value="DESC">Newest first</option>
  <option value="ASC">Oldest first</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" class="I_send" value="Go >"> Search for music on Lynk Fm <br />
</td></tr></table>
</form>

<? if($_POST['q'] != "") {?>

<? $res5 = select5(); while($row5 = mysql_fetch_object($res5)) { echo "$row5->song<br>"; } ?>

<? } ?>[/code]

Try this:

[code]<?php
function select5($q,$sort){
$select5 = "SELECT * FROM lynk_fm WHERE artist LIKE '%$q%' ORDER BY id $sort";
$obj5 = mysql_query($select5) or die($MySQLError.mysql_error());
return $obj5;
}

if($_POST['q'] != "") {
$res5 = select5($_POST['q'],$_POST['sort']);
while($row5 = mysql_fetch_object($res5)){
echo "$row5->song<br>";
}
?>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" name="form_search">
<table width="100%" style="border:1px dashed darkgray;">
<tr>  <td width="222" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">Music search</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><input name="q" type="text" class="INPUT" onFocus="if(this.value=='Tiesto')this.value='';" value="Tiesto">
<select name="sort" class="I_send">
  <option value="DESC">Newest first</option>
  <option value="ASC">Oldest first</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="I_send" value="Go >"> Search for music on Lynk Fm <br />
</td></tr></table>
</form>[/code]

i just know its probably something soo silly...

[tomfmason]

well it is not silly. You just don't know. You need something like this
[code]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  //preform your code here
}
?>
<!--html here-->
[/code]

Sorry if I offended you. Anyways give this a try

[code]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $q = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['q']));
    $sort = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['sort']));
    if ((!$q) || (!$sort)) {
        echo "You did not submit a required field";
        exit(1);
  }
   $select5 = "SELECT * FROM lynk_fm WHERE artist LIKE '%$q%' ORDER BY id $sort";
   $obj5 = mysql_query($select5) or die(mysql_error());

   while($row5 = mysql_fetch_assoc($obj5)){
          echo '' . $row5['song'] . '<br />';
   }
}
?>

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" name="form_search">
<table width="100%" style="border:1px dashed darkgray;">
<tr>  <td width="222" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">Music search</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><input name="q" type="text" class="INPUT" onFocus="if(this.value=='Tiesto')this.value='';" value="Tiesto">
<select name="sort" class="I_send">
  <option value="DESC">Newest first</option>
  <option value="ASC">Oldest first</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="I_send" value="Go >"> Search for music on Lynk Fm <br />
</td></tr></table>
