hello:
I'm working on this code that receives a variable via url and performs a mysql search for records using the value of the variable as the key word. I'm using the following code --which I'm currently using successfully on another section of my project, but experiencing problems in a different section.
The code is the same with a few minor changes (database and table connection etc), for some odd reason, the page comes out blank without any errors. I tried changing the connection information with intentional false access info to see if an error would be produced, still nothing. I'm a bit puzzled. Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Content of Search Results</title> <!--<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../music/.keycode2.css"> --></head> <body topmargin="0">
<hr color="#C0C0C0" size="1">
<table border="0" width="100%" id="resultbar" bgcolor="#E2EBED">
<tr>
<td>Customer's Job Cost History</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="graph" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" display="inline">

</div>
</html>for the referring url variable I have something like this:
onclick=\"window.location= 'invoicehistory.php?var=$clientID'Can someone take a look at it to see if they catch something I'm not seeing.
Thanks,
