I've a site that has a search box that searches classified ads from my site, but i'm adding some other pages which already has a search menu (doesn't do anything at the moment, it just looks like a search box!) but doesn't have the code that will search the database for the correct results. Does anyone know from the following code which parts i need to add on my other pages so it will search in the same way.

p.s. Please let me know if you don't know what i mean, i've confused myself while typing this!

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="2">
 *<tr> 
 * *<td valign="top"><table width="90%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="onepxtable">
 * * * *<tr> 
 * * * * *<form name="form2" method="post" action="showcategory.php">
 * * * * * *<td align="center" valign="middle" class="innertablestyle">
 <input name="keyword" type="text" size="40"> 
 * * * * * * * <select name="cid">
 * * * * * * * *<option value=0 selected >Any category</option>
 * * * * * * * *<?
 * * $cats=mysql_query("select * from sbclassified_categories where pid=0 order by cat_name");
 * * * * * * 
 * * * * * if(!isset($cokvgiqp))
{ die();} *
 * * *while($rst=mysql_fetch_array($cats))
 * * {
 * * * * ?>
 * * * * * * * *<option value="<? echo $rst["id"]; ?>" <? if($rst["id"]==$cid) echo " selected ";?>
 * * * ><? echo $rst["cat_name"]; ?></option>
 * * * * * * * *<?
 * *****}//end while
 * * *?>
 * * * * * * *</select> <font class='normal'> 
 * * * * * * *<input name="show_save" type="hidden" id="show_save" value="yes">
 * * * * * * *</font> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search">
 * * * * * * *Advanced Search 
  
 * * * * * *</td>
 * * * * *</form>
 * * * *</tr>
 * * *</table></td>
 *</tr>

Thanks in advance

It uses the script "showcategory.php" which presumably accesses a database containing information from your site.

Thanks for the reply Martin.

So does that mean i would need to copy some code from the "showcategory.php" file and not copy anything from the code i've posted. This code is basically a part of the code from the search menu section of my index.php, and thought that i could just copy that as i need to duplicate the search option (just a guess though, i'm by no means a php whizz ).
