lessthanthree Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 There's a few errors. But for a start:[code]<?phpif ($searchstring){$sql="SELECT * FROM maraton1 WHERE $searchtype LIKE '%$searchstring%' ORDER BY Plats ASC";include("XXX.php");$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);[/code]should be [code]<?phpif (isset($_POST["searchstring"])){$searchstring = $_POST["searchstring"] //for security make sure you clean this value!!!!$searchtype = $_POST["searchtype"] //and this one!!!$sql="SELECT * FROM maraton1 WHERE $searchtype LIKE '%".$searchstring%' ORDER BY Plats ASC";include("XXX.php");$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4535-cant-recive-data-from-database-when-adding-search-function/#findComment-15807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
