To add a search feature to your page: 1. Create an HTML <form> (POST method) with one text input for typing the search parameter (lets call it 'query'), and a button to submit the form. 2. Use the PHP variable $_POST['query'] for your search.

you might do a query like this after storing mysql_escape_string($_POST['query']) into $query:SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE columnName LIKE '%$query%'
