Form Submission using post not working

Hi Guys,

I am using php exec to run php in a page.

I am a trying to create a form to connect to my database and return results.

I can do all of this fine manually in the code, my problem comes in when I try to use a form to get the text to search for. I can create the form fine, but it doesn’t work when I use action=’post’.

1. I have gotten it to kind of work with the ‘GET’ method, why isn’t post working?

2. It appears that the line LIKE ‘%$find%'” is whats keeping this from working. If I manually enter something in like ‘test’ it works fine.

I am so close.. any help is appreciated!

`<form name=”search” action=”https://www.hidden*.com/&#8221; method=”GET”>
Search for: <input type=”text” name=”find” />
<input type=”submit” name=”search” value=”Search” />
</form>

<?php

// Get the search variable from URL

$find = @$_GET[‘find’] ;

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

// Otherwise we connect to our Database
mysql_connect(“localhost”, “hidden*”, “hidden*”) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(“hidden*”) or die(mysql_error());

//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$result= mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM rpo WHERE hidden* LIKE ‘%$find%'”);

// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
echo $row[‘rpo_code’];
echo $row[‘description’];
}
