Hi all, I'm new to these forums,so hello, and hope that you can help me.
I'm teaching myself php, and to begin with I'm creating a php page that searches an existing mysql database containing user information. The php page has to have a text field and a submit button. When a surname is entered, the page *should* return information for matching users, in a table on the same page. So far I've been looking at other scripts, and have not had complete success, although I'm getting close

My request is this - can anyone point me towards a tutorial for a simple php page that will serve my need? Also, I'd like to return a message if there are no matches.
Rather than post one of several iterations of code, I thought it may be better to learn from a simple tutorial. Thanks in advance
