[SOLVED] if (isset($_GET['submitSearch'])) issue

[pescott]

Hello,

 

I posted a question here before regarding the ssame code which I got working. The problem I have now is probably very simple to solve, yet I am stuck.

 

There is a query that I would like to run ONLY AFTER the submit button has been pressed, so not on page load. I am ussing this code:

modified

 

Now the alternative to the query running, is a flat echo of text, yet when that happens the error is displayed after the echo like so:

Wanneer u hierboven een woonplaats en een budget invoert en op 'Zoek' klikt, ziet u het meest recente aanbod!Query was empty

 

The rest of the HTML and PHP that is there is not displayed.

 

It all comes down to this: How to run a query AFTER THE SUBMIT BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED, NOT ON page load, and display text of no query is to be run?

Help appreciated!

This right here determines if it runs on load or on submit

 

if (isset($_GET['submitSearch']))

Where is the form that submits to the page? I cant find any form tags or form elements after scanning over your code.

 

You need to set the action of your form to method="GET" as well as naming you submit button submitSearch.

 

<input type="submit" name="submitSearch" value="Submit">

I was assuming this page was called from his FORM from another page.
