How to specify url to let php do the search

[toolglutton]

Currently, I am using a.html to call for b.php to search a mysql database and show the result. When people do the search, they input the term in the search box on a.html, and the showing url is www.mysite.com/b.php.

How do I change the code so that people can simply use a url to do the search (without using the search box)? For example, if they input www.mysite.com/b.php?xx==bb, they will get the result for bb? The input name is currently '$search', and I tried www.mysite.com/b.php?$search=bb, it does not work.

Thank you very much!

Change the form method from `post` to `get`, and check for $_GET instead of $_POST.
