marky83 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have a MYSQL-database. Table: album with columns: albumname, albumid Table: track with columns: trackname, trackid, genreid Table: genre with columns: genrename, genreid Table: albumtrack with columns: albumid, trackid Table: albumgenre with columns: albumid, genreid I made a search from like this: <body> <h2>Search for album</h2> <form name="form" action="displaysearchalbum.php" method="get"> <input type="text" name="getsearch" /> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="search album" /> </form> <br /> <h2>Search for track</h2> <form name="form" action="displaysearchtrack.php" method="get"> <input type="text" name="getsearch2" /> <input type="submit" name="submit2" value="search track" /> </form> </body> I am a bit new to php and mysql and have problem getting displaysearchalbum.php to work. The first part of the code seems fine but I'm not sure how to display the result of the SQL-query. Any tips? <?php // Get the search variable from URL $var = @$_GET['getsearch'] ; $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable // rows to return $limit=20; // check for an empty string and display a message. if ($trimmed == "") { echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>"; exit; } // check for a search parameter if (!isset($var)) { echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>"; exit; } //connect to your database mysql_connect("x","x","x"); //(host, username, password) //specify database mysql_select_db("cpm08010") or die("Unable to select database"); // Build SQL Query $query = "SELECT albumname FROM album WHERE albumname='$trimmed'"; Best Regards Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/182267-search-and-display-search-result-in-mysql-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
