just to bring you up to speed, the search form doesn't seem to be doing anything...I no longer have the sql problem as i corrected the syntax, but the results page only wants to display the first database entry at all times. I can't seem to get it to actually search and bring up the requested name. Maybe I have configured the search page incorrectly? I have followed a few tutorials now but am getting nowhere.

Thanks for your help! I only need this thing to look up specific names that are entered by the user and then have the db bring up the name along with other info in the db. I will try the simple version though, as i was jumping in the deep end to begin with. I will post here if i still have problems...thanks again!

can nobody help? surely somebody must know something???

Hi I am having trouble getting my results page to display any search results at all. I have followed numerous tutorials and Dreamweaver displays the database records via the Advanced Recordset 'test' button, but when I perform a search using the actual form the following error appears: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in d:\web\results.php on line 11 I have checked line 11 and can see no reason why this is happenning. I am new to building search/results pages so if anyone can point me to a tutorial that works (preferably a step by step guide) or help me in any way with this, would be very much appreciated! Cheers!
