Please be patient with me, Im just learning
I've got a form I use to search one of my db tables and return the results. The form and results pages are separate scripts. I have 3 problems that are causing me to pull my hair out.
1. If I don't enter anything in the form and hit submit, it returns all the data in the table. Is there a way to have it just refresh the form page unless something is entered?
2. Once the results page is displayed I'd like to be able to have a button or link at the bottom that will return me to the form - I have searched but I'm probably not using the correct terminology.
3. Some of the entries in the table contain foreign alphabet characters like ä á ê. These arent displaying on the results. Is there any way I can get these characters to display?
My apologies if this is kinda simple, but it's got me stumped at the moment.
