Search form not working

[drayarms]

I wrote the search form below to enable users search other users of a site based on certain criteria like age, race etc.  Then I wrote the php script beneath, to execute that search.  I decided to make the script very simple, searching only for one criterion for now (ethnicity).  So even though I have several fields in the search form, I wrote the script to process only one of those fields(ethnicity).  So basically, the script searches all records for members on the site from two tables called images and members(the members table has an "ethnicity column"), who meet the user's ethnicity preference and returns certain columns for all members who meet that preference.  Well when  I click the submit button, all I get is "Form not submitted".  I added that form not submitted clause at the end of the script just after I had tweaked the script in every way possible but got nothing but a blank page every time I submitted the form.  So take a look people and tell me what could be going wrong here.  Appreciate any help.

And here goes the php script.

<?php

//address error handling

ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);


//authenticate user
require('auth.php');


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

// Connect to the database.

        require_once ('config.php');

//Query the database.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM members INNER JOIN images ON members.member_id = images_member_id WHERE members.ethnicity = '{$_POST['ethnicity']}' AND images.cartegory = 'main' ";



$query = mysql_query($sql);



//Check for success here.

if(!$query)

{

    		trigger_error("SQL query $sql failed: " . mysql_error(), E_ERROR);

    		// Handle as desired

}else{  //If query is valid.

    		if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0){


       			 while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ 

            		//Redirect to search results page.

		echo $_POST['ethnicity']; echo $row['member_id']; echo $_SESSION['id']; echo $row['image'];
         
		 }

        		 

   		 }else {//No rows returned.

        
        		echo 'No results match this search query.' ;

    			}

}//End of else if query is valid.

}else{ echo "form not submitted";}




?>

images_member_id

 

Should this be images.member_id?

I think you forgot to set the method attribute of your form. Try adding method="post" to your <form> field, that should fix it.
