    Exclamation Searching with lack of terminology

    Hi everyone!

    I am one who builds websites the easy way .. with a wysiwyg program .. gotta love it! And I also use sites like this one .. thank you DynamicDrive!!

    My quest is for a simple script that will allow users to input one line of information and it will be then listed below.

    Sorta like this .. cause I don't think that is clear ...

    [__________] (<--- blank entry box) [submit] (<---button)

    (and then you would see this on the same page)

    Mickey
    Donald
    Goofy
    Daisy
    Minnie .. etc.. etc ..

    I am sure there is a proper term for this .. but I am at a loss tonight as to what it would be .. thus my lack of success in finding my answer!

    All help is greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks in advance!

    the input... text only? uploading? viewing directory? What exactly do we hope to accomplish?

    You can get a search box, if that's what you want, from Google and many others, like Free Find, etc.

    Sorry for the lack of info!

    Yes, text only .. just one text input box .. no uploading by users .. and yes, I want the user to be able to see the list of names that have been entered. It saves me having to do it manually!

    I hope this is enough info

    Well, a few ways, and I am SWAMPED with projects right now or I would thank more clear.

    Use php. You can write to a .txt file, then include the .txt file something like:

    PHP Code:
    <body>
    <form action"<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post">
    <input type="text" length="50" name="added">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>

    <?php include 'fileofnames.txt'?>
    Then you just need your php code to tell the form to write to that .txt file and it will include it after.
