i have a html file w/ the following tags:
<form action="action.php" method="get">
Search for this file: <input name="string" type="text">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

how do i pass the variable "string" to action.php. what inside my php script
will let me access that input from the text box???
i read something about saving it to a file, but that didn't seem right.

Try google. try a newsgroup that fits the question. try thinking for a
while.
