database search function on an HTML page possible?
- by synergy989
Not sure if this is against stackoverflow rules as it's not a specific code question but I really need a little help.
I want to know if it is possible to create a search feature (search box) on an HTML webpage that will query a database and return the results?
Basically I have a database of products and their related categories. A user would come to the website, enter the category in the search field...somehow query the database and return the results on a new page.
Note: the results page doesn't have to be HTML (could be PHP etc).
If you could also include a little guidance on how (please nothing detailed, just need a direction).
Thank you!
