Ok here is my problem... I have a form on a page named index.php and the code for the form is as follows:
<form name="auth" method="post" action="search01.php"> <p>*I.E. - Format is 04/01/2001*</p> <p>Search for Ads by date: <input type="text" name="date"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="login" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"> </p> </form> This form is used to supply the variable that we would like to seach the database by. I.E. by date in this case. The php script that connects to the database and performs the search is in a file named search01.php. And the php script is as follows: <?php mysql_connect ("db_hostname", "db_username", "db_password"); mysql_select_db ("db_name"); if ($date == "") {$date = '%';} $result = mysql_query ("SELECT fname,lname,address,city,state,zip,phonea,phone,email,crty,crnum,crmo,cryr,w eeks,ogden,rock,logan,ipaddress,ad,total,num,date,time FROM ads WHERE date LIKE '%$date%' LIMIT 0, 30 "); $count = mysql_num_rows($result); if (mysql_num_rows($result) ) { while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { print "<B>Name: </B>".$row['fname'].", ".$row[' lname']."<BR>\n"; print "<B>Date: </B>".$row['date']."<BR>\n"; } } else { print "No rows found";} ?> Ok now that I have the form and the search script in place and as I test it out I recieve an error message on 2 lines regardless of the format of the date I use (i.e. 10/23/2001, %23%, 2001-23-10, etc.) The error messages are as follows: Warning: 0 is not a MySQL result index in search01.php on line 141 Warning: 0 is not a MySQL result index in search01.php on line 143 No rows found Now that we have the background info out of the way I am wondering what these error messages mean and how to resolve them. I have been using a couple of books as reference when creating this seach page but they do not cover using a form to pass a variable to a php script for use withing a select statement against a database. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or otherwise please let me know because I would love to get this script finished and posted somewhere. Thanks again.
