There's a few errors.

But for a start:

[code]
<?php
if ($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]
<?php
if (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]

<hr>

<?php
if (isset($_POST["searchstring"]))
{
$searchstring = $_POST["searchstring"]
$searchtype = $_POST["searchtype"]

$sql="SELECT * FROM maraton1 WHERE $searchtype LIKE '%$searchstring%' ORDER BY Plats ASC";
include("XXX.php");
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);

echo "<table border=1 align=center cellspacing=2 cellpadding=3>\n";
echo "<TR><TH>Plats<TH>Person<TH>Poäng</TR>\n";
while ($rad = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<TR><TD>$rad[Plats]<TD>$rad[Person]<TD>$rad[Poäng]\n";
}
echo "</TABLE>";
}
else
{
?>
<form method="POST" action="<?php $PHP_SELF ?>">

<table border="1" align="center" cellspacing=2 cellpadding=3>
<tr><td>Sök här</td>
<td>Söktyp</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="searchstring" size="40"></td>
<td><select size="1" name="searchtype">
<option selected value="Person">Person</option>
<option value="Plats">Plats</option>

</select></td>
</tr>
</table>

<p align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Sök" name="B1">
<input type="reset" value="Töm sökraden ovan" name="B2">
</p>
</form>

<?php
}
