Searching..Help please!!

I'm fairly new to php

i have a table with some information about people

their name, address, postal code, and website

i want the user to be able to enter the site ...and be asked to enter a postal code and then show them all the people who have that postal code

I've looked for just simple search to do that...and everything i've found ends up being complex

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with the simplest way to perform this search and output.

Thank you

My table is in a database

there is name, address, postal code and website

Hopefully this is what you were looking for...

I've been trying so hard to do this and i can't get it to show results..

What i'm trying to do is something similar to a catalog being able to search and produce the results....later add delete and edit stuff.

So if you know of any tutorials or help that may assist me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You may want to try something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



$postalCode = $_POST['postal_code'];



$sql = "SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE postal_code = '$postalCode'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);



if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)

{

  while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result))

  {

    echo $rows['name'] . "<BR>" . $rows['address'] . ", " . $rows['postal_code'] . "<BR>" . $rows['website'] . "<BR><HR>";

  }

}



?>
