    copied!<p>Do you have any suggestions with my problem. I need to use get and post at the same time. Get because I need to output what the user has typed. And post because I need to access the mysql database in relation to that input. It looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="x" method="get" action="x.php"&gt; &lt;input name="year" type="text"&gt; &lt;select name="general" id="general"&gt; &lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;option value="YEAR"&gt;Year&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>This will output the contents of mysql depending on what the user will check:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="y" method="post" action"y.php"&gt; &lt;input name="fname" type="checkbox"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the form action of those two combined will look something like this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php if($_POST['general'] == 'YEAR'){ ?&gt; &lt;?php echo $_GET["year"]; ?&gt; &lt;?php $result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM student WHERE student.YEAR='$syear'"); ?&gt; &lt;table border='1'&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;?php if ( $ShowLastName ) { ?&gt;&lt;th&gt;LASTNAME&lt;/th&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;?php if ( $ShowFirstName ) { ?&gt;&lt;th&gt;FIRSTNAME&lt;/th&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result2) ) { if (!$result2) { } ?&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $row['IDNO']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $row['YEAR'] ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;?php if ( $ShowLastName ) { echo('&lt;td&gt;'.$row['LASTNAME'].'&lt;/td&gt;'); } ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;?php if ( $ShowFirstName ) { echo('&lt;td&gt;'.$row['FIRSTNAME'].'&lt;/td&gt;'); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I really get lots of undefined errors when I do this. What can you recommend that I should do in order to get the value inputted by the user together with the mysql data.</p>
 

Querying!
