gumszy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would just like someone to explain to me how I will go about changing this code so that when I click on the search button it goes to a new page where the products will be displayed in a table I made a new topic yesterday but I don't think people understood it, any help on how I can do this would be very much appreciated. <?php /***************************** * Simple SQL Search Tutorial by Frost * of Slunked.com ******************************/ $dbHost = 'localhost'; // localhost will be used in most cases // set these to your mysql database username and password. $dbUser = 'searchuser'; $dbPass = 'searchpass'; $dbDatabase = 'searchdb'; // the database you put the table into. $con = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to MySQL Server. Error: " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($dbDatabase) or trigger_error("Failed to connect to database {$dbDatabase}.
