text as a field

sisira

hello

i am using form elements to retrieve data from a data base
example - i use a text field. In that text field i type the word i want to find from the data base. then click the submit buttom

therefore i use a text field and a button for retreiving data from a data base

i want to know , is there any coding which enables me to use a text as a link to search data from a data base.

i know its simple. but i dont know how

thanks
sisira

Do you mean something like:

<html>
<body>
<a href="search.php?search=widgets">Search for Widgets</a>
<a href="search.php?search=doo-dads">Search for Doo-dads</a>
</body>
</html>

I still dont understand :$ how check if pressed maybe $_GET? I used submit button and do with isset();

edit: if i use isset($_get...) it work did you think thise way
