Re: forms /selects

I see a couple of errors, one of which is the source of your problem.
You write:
        "SELECT name FROM thetable WHERE (nome=$leter%) ORDER BY nome ASC";
This would evaluate to
        "SELECT name FROM thetable WHERE (nome=A%) ORDER BY nome ASC";

What you need to write is:
        "SELECT name FROM thetable WHERE (nome like '$leter%') ORDER BY nome ASC";

"like" is required to make regular _expression_ match.
The quotes are always required when dealing with strings (and a few other types).

You could have just debugged this by
        echo $query;

Also: Letter contains two t's. :)
