i read a tutorial the other day on passing variables between php pages
using a html form and setting the action to the php page to parse, can
anybody see anything wrong with the code below? the problem is, that the
page always loads the html form, and i cant work out why this is so, even
after i select a catagory from the drop down list and press search. any1
have any idea's? TIA.
the code:
if (empty($catagory)) { ?>
<div align=center>
<form action="<?php $PHP_SELF ?>" method="GET"> <table>
<tr> <td>
<INPUT name=search>
</td> <td>
<SELECT NAME=catagory SIZE=1>
<OPTION any>Search All Catagories
<OPTION floral>Floral Creations
<OPTION lighting>Decorative Lighting
<OPTION kitchenware>Kitchenware & Crockery <OPTION
furniture>Fancy Goods & Furniture
</SELECT>
</td> <td>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Search">
</td>
</form>
</div>
<?php exit; }
echo ("the catagory variable was set");
