Uhm, are you trying to use JavaScript or PHP??

I am very confused.... as you can see...I am aware the statement above has php and JS in it....

 

I Have an input box and a link/button

I want to click the button, grab the value in an input box, pass it to the php page, do a php query and populate a table in the page

 

Like a search....looking on where to start...examples etc...

You'd need to use AJAX for that.

Check out jQuery.

 

Moving this to AJAX forum.

assuming you are trying to use jquery and you have the libraries included already....

 

 

$(.linkclick).click(function(){
  window.location.href = "/MainPage.php?value=" + $("#searchvalue").val();
});

 

<input type="text" id="searchvalue" />
<a href="javascript:;" Class="linkclick">click</a>
