Question

Problem: Need to store field value when doing this query on my database. Have a couple pages that’s using this same syntax but for some odd reason this isn’t cooperating..

HTML

    <form method="post" action="listPage.php">  
    <fieldset>  
    <legend>Pull some data</legend>  
    <label for="name">Name</label>  
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" maxlength="255" /> 
    <hr />  
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="find event" /> 
    </fieldset>  
    </form>

listPage.php

<?php

//CONNECT TO DATABASE
$user="root";
$password="";
$database="db";
$connection=mysql_connect('localhost',$user,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

echo "NOT running...";

//STORE ALL DATA FROM PREVIOUS FORM
if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
  $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);

  $query="SELECT event FROM events WHERE event='$name'";  
  $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());  
  $num=mysql_numrows($result);

    echo "running...";

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
  {  
    echo $row['event'] . " // ";
    echo "<br />";
  }  
}

mysql_close($connection);  
?>
