Hi. I have my database up and running beautifully - thank you, everyone, for building and maintaining such a strong, helpful community here -- but now I want to be able to search from another html file as well as display the data in another html file. I am building a robust and ever-changing website and fear I'll go mad if I have to work in perl to format and change it. Anyway, can I use simple html forms to search and display the forms and how would I do so?

Thanks!

Amy

In order to set up an external search form, you need only put together a form with code similar to that which is generated by the database. You will also need to set up a default user if you have not already done so.

A typical search form may look like:Including the results in a webpage is a little more difficult and will require the use of SSI, try searching through the forums, and LoisC's helpful FAQ (listed in the Resource center) for SSI.

Good luck!
