include("style.php");

//If we submitted the form
if(isset($_POST['submitMe']))
{
echo '<div id="musicinfo" align="center">				

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">	
<tr>		
<td align="center">    
<form action="" method="POST">    
<center>    
<input type="text" name="name" size="24">    
<input type="submit" value="Search" name="submitMe">    
</form>		
</td>	
</tr>
</table>   
</div>';

$hmm = simplexml_load_file('http://www.durhamit.ca:8181/1.0/?method=database.search&searcharg='.$_POST['name'] .''); 

foreach($hmm->tracks->track as $tracks) {
    $artist = $tracks->artist;
    $title = $tracks->title;
    $album = $tracks->album;
$id = $tracks->id; 

echo '<table border="0" width="60%" align="center">';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td width="25%">'.$artist.'</td>';
echo '<td width="25%">'.$title.'</td>';

wierd, i just tried it from my blackberry, it works.  doesnt work from ie.

Set the action. Some browsers will fill it in as the current page, others will not know what to do.

[flemingmike]

what should i put for the action?

[xangelo]

Action is the url of the page that will process the form. So if your page is called form.php action would be form.php

[flemingmike]

still the same problem

[flemingmike]

such a piss off, because i had this working perfectly last month, then i must have deleted it and it doesnt exist on any of my backups.

ok, so it actually works just fine.  if u press enter, no results, if you click on submit, then it works.

 

any ideas?
