problem retrieving search results

[Theora]

I'm having difficulty with a search page. I followed the instructions in the Dreamweaver Help under "Building search/results pages (ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, PHP)", but it seems like the recordset is not recognizing the variables that are coming from the form. The variables [b]are[/b] being passed to the page; I put in a simple "echo($_REQUEST['varFamily']);" line and they show up.

Below is the code being used for the form (most options have been cut for the sake of brevity):
[code]
<form action="searchresults.php" method="post" name="searchform" id="searchform">
    <p>Fixture Family:<br />
      <select name="varFamily" id="varFamily">
        <option value="" selected="selected">choose family...</option>
        <option value="Avalon">Avalon</option>
        <option value="Carriage Hills">Carriage Hills</option>
        <option value="Centennial PW">Centennial PW</option>
      </select>
    </p>
    <p>Fixture Finish:<br />
      <select name="varFinish" id="varFinish">
        <option value="" selected="selected">choose finish...</option>
        <option value="Antique Silver Crackle">Antique Silver Crackle</option>
        <option value="Burnt Sienna">Burnt Sienna</option>
      </select>
    </p>
    <p>Fixture Type:<br />
      <select name="varType" id="varType">
        <option value="" selected="selected">choose type...</option>
        <option value="Accessories">Accessories</option>
        <option value="Bath Fixture">Bath Fixture</option>
      </select>
    </p>
    <p>Item Number:<br />
      <input name="itemnumber" type="text" id="itemnumber" />
    </p>
    <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" />
  </p>
</form>
[/code]

Here's a screenshot of the recordset window...

...and following is the code it generates:
[code]
$varFinish_rs_getSearchResults = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['varFinish'])) {
  $varFinish_rs_getSearchResults = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['varFinish'] : addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['varFinish']);
}
$varType_rs_getSearchResults = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['varType'])) {
  $varType_rs_getSearchResults = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['varType'] : addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['varType']);
}
$varItemNumber_rs_getSearchResults = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['varItemNumber'])) {
  $varItemNumber_rs_getSearchResults = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['varItemNumber'] : addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['varItemNumber']);
}
$varFamily_rs_getSearchResults = "%";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['varFamily'])) {
  $varFamily_rs_getSearchResults = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['varFamily'] : addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['varFamily']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_conn_catalog, $conn_catalog);
$query_rs_getSearchResults = sprintf("SELECT * FROM catalog WHERE family LIKE '%s' AND fixturefinish LIKE '%s' AND fixturetype LIKE '%s' AND itemnumber LIKE '%s'", $varFamily_rs_getSearchResults,$varFinish_rs_getSearchResults,$varType_rs_getSearchResults,$varItemNumber_rs_getSearchResults);
[/code]

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
