What kind of phone directory do you have?

very simple type using form methods and $_GET global to retrieve information

 

sample:

 

form action="Addinfo.php" method="get">First Name <input type="text" name="first" size="15" /> Last Name <input type="text" name="last" size="15" /><br />

<br />

Address <input type="text" name="address" size="15" /> City <input type="text" name="city" size="15" /><br />

<br />

<select name="state">

You could just use a table and sort any way you like if there aren't to many. Or use something simple in your sql like like. LIKE '%$first-name%' or something like that.

not using any SQL/MYSQL in my coding so it would have to be through other means...when i type in a  name it goes to my other php file to input name/or update (can't get update file to work either)
