Okay, thanks... and I tried that. Now it's bringing the error that I forgot to type something in the search for some reason.. (when I am typing in the search is still does the same thing..).

EDIT: nevermind, I saw that 'find' variable was not defined either. Now I have this code:

<h2>Search</h2>
<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">

<Option VALUE="info">Real Time Strategy</option>
</Select>
<input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</form>
<?
$searching = $_POST['searching'];
$find = $_POST['find'];
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form
if ($searching =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>";
 
//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
}
 
// Otherwise we connect to our Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "arnackco_Arnack", "oompa123") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("arnackco_search") or die(mysql_error());
 
// We preform a bit of filtering
$find = strtoupper($find);
$find = strip_tags($find);
$find = trim ($find);
 
//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'");
 
//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{
echo $result['fname'];
echo " ";
echo $result['lname'];
echo "<br>";
echo $result['info'];
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
}
 
//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that
$anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>";
}
 
//And we remind them what they searched for
echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find;
}
?>

Now it says:
