Doing Query with Forms

[Anon]

Hi all,

As you can see I am pretty much a newbie at this.  My dilema is that I am using mysql as the back end and I am trying to access information from it using forms from HTML.  What it is is that I am asking the user to enter either the name of the artist or the song title into the text boxes on the HTML page and have PHP do a query on mysql and return the results on the page...HOW DO I DO THAT or at least get me started in the right direction...

"My dilema is that I am using mysql..." There's an understatmenet 😉

HTML page:
<input type=text name="artist">
<input type=submit>

PHP page:
if ($artist) {

$sql = "select whatever from wherever where artist = '$artist'";

The rest, my friend, is up to you.
