$i++;
}
}

 

The $start, and $end don't seem to be getting any values

Add the 3 indicated lines, and see what exactly is in the post array. If they aren't there, disable javascript in your browser, enter something in the text fields and try it again.

 

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

echo '<pre>'; // <----- ADD
print_r($_POST); // <----- ADD
echo '</pre>'; // <----- ADD

$start = $_POST['start'];
$end = $_POST['end'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `corps` WHERE `notedate` BETWEEN '$start' AND '$end'"

Array

(

    [start] => 1-2-2011

    [end] => 5-2-2011

    [submit] => Look Up

)

 

 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home5/ccccomma/public_html/test.php on line 29

 

Line 29 is: $shownotes = mysql_result($results,$i,'notes');
