[PHP]<?php
session_start() ;
include("header .php");?>


<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP _SELF?>">
Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in
<Select NAME="field">
<Option VALUE="name">Na me</option>
<Option VALUE="descript ion">Descriptio n</option>
</Select>
<input type="hidden" name="searching " value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</form>


<?
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form
if ($searching =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Result s</h2><p>";
//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
}
$con = makeConn();


// We preform a bit of filtering
$find = strtoupper($fin d);
$find = strip_tags($fin d);
$find = trim ($find);

//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$data = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM stock WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'") ;

//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_arr ay( $data ))
{
echo $result['name'];
echo " ";
echo $result['description'];
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
}

//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that
$anymatches=mys ql_num_rows($da ta);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>";
}

//And we remind them what they searched for
