Re: php drop down menu to search multiple sql tables

The values in the dropdown are actual table names in your database? And you want the user to enter a search term, pick a database table, click submit, then see results from that table?

What database are you using? MySQL? Postgres? MSSQL? Oracle?

This is a simple thing to do unless one or more of the following statements are NOT true. Please reply to let us know where you need help.

1. I know how to submit an HTML FORM to a PHP page and work with the $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST objects.

2. I know how to connect to a database, query a database, and work with the results with PHP.
