Display search results mysql in same page

I have created a search form, to display results (specified) in text fields. The function worked before, but I changed the navigation part.

Now the code that I have isn't working.

When I hit the zoek button (search in dutch), I get redirected to the index page with some url:

index.php?search2=Henk&submit2=Zoek

The original search page is the following:

index.php?id=zoeken (the code just above is this page)

So this also where the results should be displayed, but their not.

Here the code I use:

<?php

// Get the search variable from URL

$var = @$_GET['search'];
$trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable

// rows to return
$limit=10;

//connect to your database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_connect("localhost","user","password"); //(host, username, password)

//specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_select_db("database") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database we're using

// Build SQL Query
$query = "select * from nbs_vmb_contacts where nbs_vmb_group_id = '2' and nbs_vmb_contact_name like \"%$trimmed%\" or nbs_vmb_zip like \"%$trimmed%\""; // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query

$numresults=mysql_query($query);
$numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);

$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// now you can display the results returned
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$name = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_name"];
$zip = $row["nbs_vmb_zip"];
$shared = $row["nbs_vmb_shared"];
$aanhef = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_aanhef"];
$prechar = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_prechar"];
$tussenv = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_tussenv"];
$sur = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_sur"];
$address = $row["nbs_vmb_address"];
$number = $row["nbs_vmb_number"];
$numberadd = $row["nbs_vmb_numberadd"];
$postbusnr = $row["nbs_vmb_postbusnr"];
$city = $row["nbs_vmb_city"];
$country = $row["nbs_vmb_country"];
$phone = $row["nbs_vmb_phone"];
$mobphone = $row["nbs_vmb_mobphone"];
$email = $row["nbs_vmb_emailadres"];
$day = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_day"];
$month = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_month"];
$year = $row["nbs_vmb_contact_year"];
$burnyear = $row["nbs_vmb_year"];
$selfburns = $row["nbs_vmb_selfburns"];
$relativeto = $row["nbs_vmb_relativeto"];
$profrelatie = $row["nbs_vmb_profrelatie"];
$psychonet = $row["nbs_vmb_psychonet"];

Please any help.

Do you want to display results in the same page with the Zoek?

I am not an expert but did this by writing the url of the result page to the action part of search form. And also they're together in a page.

For example my page results are shown on a page like "search_result.php" and also my search form in this page just above the php codes ...

<p><font face="verdana" size="2" color="#ffffff"> <b>Italian - Turkish // Turkish Italian </b> </p>
<form method="post" action="search_result.php">
<input type="text" name="search" size=45 maxlength=45>
<input type="Submit" name="Ara" value="Ara">
</form>
and then starts my php codes

Well I tried that before but because I use a different kind of navigation, it won't work.

Here is the code I use for the navigation:

<?php

$tcm_lang_file = 'includes/lang_nl.php';
require_once($tcm_lang_file);

The switch part is the navigation.

The best options on it is to use Ajax + php it could solve your problem

Thanks
