Click to expand...

<input type=text name=some value='variable'>

result page

Code: 
<?
echo $_GET['some'];
?>

or if you use POST method


Code: 
<?
echo $_POST['some'];
?>
 
Can you describe step by step instruction ?

here is coding to perform FORM for user input data into text box
filename: input.html
-------
<body>

<form action="data.php" method="post">
Name:
<input type=text name=some value='variable'>


<input type="submit" name="" value="find">

</form>
-----------
and this is coding for data.php
<?php

echo $_POST['some'];

//connect to database

if(!($dbLink = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "", "")))
{
print("Failed to connect to database!<BR>\n");
print("Aborting!<BR>\n");
exit();
}
//QUERY
$Query = "SELECT 'data that user input'";
$Query .= "FROM tablename;
if(!($dbResult = mysql_query($Query, $dbLink)))
{
print("Couldn't execute query!<BR>\n");
print("MySQL reports: " . mysql_error() . "<BR>\n");
print("Query was: $Query<BR>\n");
exit();
}

HOW TO GET what user input from input.html and then process with data.php especially SQL statement in $Query about variable that have been inputed by user
 
I found this the other day, if I'm right about what you're asking, this will work great.
Code: 
<html>
<body>
Homesite:<a href="http://www.watkins-farm.com/php/">http://www.watkins-farm.com/php/</a><br>
<form action="sqler.php" method="post">
  <TEXTAREA cols=70 name=sql rows=5><?PHP echo(stripslashes($_POST["sql"])); ?></TEXTAREA>
  <input type="submit" name="sql_post">
</form>
<?PHP

$db_host	="localhost";
$db_user	="username";
$db_pwd		="password";
$db_db		="database";

$ok = $_POST["sql_post"];
if($ok){
	$sql = $_POST["sql"];
//$sql="SELECT * cl_ip LIMIT 10"; //DEMO restriction

	$dbh=mysql_connect ("$db_host", "$db_user", "$db_pwd") or die ('I cannot connect to the database.');
	$res=mysql_select_db("$db_db") or die("Wrong DB<br>");
	$sql = stripslashes ( $sql );
echo("$sql<hr>");
	$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()."<hr>");
	$affr = @mysql_affected_rows($res);
	$numr = @mysql_num_rows($res);
	$numf = @mysql_num_fields($res);
	if(!$affr)$affr=0;
	if(!$numr)$numr=0;
	if(!$numf)$numf=0;
	$table =<<< ETT
		<table border=1><tr><td colspan=$numf>Results:</td></tr>
ETT;


	if ($numf > 0){
		$table .= "<tr>";
	}
	
	for($i=0;$i<$numf;$i++){
		$fn = mysql_field_name($res,$i);
		$table .="<td><b> $fn</b></td>";
	}

	if ($numf > 0){
	$table .= "</tr>\n";
	}

	while($arr = @mysql_fetch_array($res) ){
		$table .= "<tr>";
		for($i=0;$i<$numf;$i++){
			$table .= "<td> ".$arr[$i]." </td>";
		}
		$table .= "</tr>\n";

	}
	$table .="</table>\n";
	echo("Affected rows: $affr, Number of rows: $numr, Number of fields: $numf<br>");
	echo("$table");
}
?>
