[Easy] Search Input

[JayC]

<form method="post">
                            Username: <input type='text' name='TheUser' maxlength='20'>
                            <?php
                            echo '<td><input type="button" onclick="document.location = \'index.php?_cmd=vip&SearchUser=' . $_POST['TheUser'] . '\';" value="Search"></br>';
                            ?>
                        </form>

I need the input button to use the name they enter but that doesn't seem to work.. Could I get some help with this one xxx thanks!

Oh, sorry for the super lazy response here


Edit: Just to say, this is by far no means the "best practice" for this sorta thing. It'll help to get you started though.

if (isset($_GET['SearchUser']))
{

$u = $_GET['SearchUser'];

if (strlen($u) <= 0 || strlen($u) > 20)
{
echo '<center><strong>Usernames less than 1 and greater than 20 characters must be edited in the database manually</strong></center>';
}else
{
echo $u;
}
}

Your code is really confusing, but from what I can see, you're trying to access a $_POST variable before it's been sent. You can't do that.

Also, try using MVC. It will help keep your code neater.

edit: misread your OP, adjusted accordingly

I personally would use AngularJS

Nevermind. Found a new way to do this page! This AngularJS is really cool!
