I am sure I am on the right track. Register globals is turned on! I am getting the following error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[''] LIMIT 0, 1' at line 1 mysql_select_db($database_ftn, $ftn); @extract($_POST); $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM lstng_tbl WHERE price_range= '[$select1]'"; I am trying to get a php form variable into the above sql query. '[$select1]' if changed back to the number 1 will bring up a record just fine. Putting in a variable produces the error. How do I get a php form variable into a sql query? Below is my form <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="index_dev.php"> <label>market <select name="select1"> <OPTION value="1">Indiana</OPTION> <OPTION value="2">Wisconsin</OPTION> <OPTION value="3">Illinois</OPTION> <OPTION value="4">Michigan</OPTION> <OPTION value="5">Georgia</OPTION> <OPTION value="6">Florida</OPTION> </select> </label> </form> Brad > > Interesting suggestion. > > I though ajax was mainly gear towards microsoft and javascripting > applications? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: George Pitcher [mailto:george.pitcher@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 5:42 AM > To: BSumrall > Subject: RE: Looking for help with forms/variables and an array! > > Hi, > > Have you looked at Ajax?
