Search function

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I am looking for some guidance from the experts.

I am trying to create a search function. It will only be searching one table. The search criteria consists of two drop down menus. Each menu lists the available options for a specific column in the table. So if someone chooses an option from both menus, the search would display the results that match both options in a row in the table. If they choose one, and leave the other blank, it will only display matches for the one choice. I think that's a good explanation.

Anyways, I've got the html side of things taken care of, but I have no idea how to go about getting the results I'm looking for. This is a bit more complicated than inserting, editing, or deletng data from the database. Those things I can handle.

Someone help a brother out who is looking to dig deeper into PHP.
