Hi Big Time,
Why would it take the user to a new page? It can take the user to the
same page as well:
<form name="search" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];" method="POST">
Search for: <input type="text" name="keyword">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
Then at the top of your searchscript, say something like:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
// insert your search code here, using the data in $_POST
}
HTH.
Peter.
