A simple PHP Var?

soapbath · Mar 19, 2005

Hey.
Using the following URL:
http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=THISBIT&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&toggle=2&ei=UTF-8

I would like to be able to set it so that the user can fill in a text box which would then change "THISBIT", how would I do this?

I think this is what you want

PHP:

<?php 

echo"<form action=http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&p=$p method=post>
Search for: <input type=text name=p>
<input type=submit value=Search...>
</form>";

?>

Hope that helps you

Thanks ^ ^.

The problem is though I need it the script to excecute.

Code:

  <? $url="http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=$page";  ?>

Now I need $page withen the php script to be controled by the input box, its so it can be called (included in a way)

I did try doing that, thats what I thought I could do when I first had a bash, but I couldn't get it to do tha

, thats as close as I could get it to what you wanted, it still searches what you type in

I think you are over complicating it. You would just use a simple HTML form, with the get method.

HTML:

<form name="form1" method="get" action="http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video">
Search for: <input type="text" name=p> 
<input type="submit" value="Search..."> 
<input type="hidden" value="FP-tab-vid-t" name="fr">
<input type="hidden" value="2" name="toggle">
<input type="hidden" value="UTF-8" name="ei">
</form>

Yeah, that is HTML input, but I need to script to call a certain thing based on the users request.

Basicly, include a page such as the one shown below of which can be picked using the $page Varable.
<? $url="http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=$page"; ?>

What, you want your own page, that has a search bar, and then under that shows the results on your page though?

No, I am building a meta search engine and I am parsing the results, but for that I need to allow the user to select which engines to parse.
