Easy SQL query

Hi - hopefully this is an easy query for any experts out there!

I have a text entry on a form where someone enters a surname they want to search for and when they press the submit button the page should display the results. The page is linked to a table in a phpmyadmin database with following headings - MemberID, Title, FName, LName. The action element of the form is to go to a php page with the following code:

PHP Code:


<?php
    include "sqlsearchmem.inc";
    echo "<table border=1>";
        for($i=0;$i<1;$i++){
            echo "<tr>";
            $row=mysql_fetch_row($result);
            for($j=0;$j<1;$j++){
                echo"<td>";
                echo"$row[$j]";
                echo"</td>";
                }
                echo"</tr>";
            }
            echo"</table>";
            ?>

The include file has the SQL which I am struggling with. I have played around with a few variations - do I need to use $_POST somewhere? I need it to search the database for whatever surname is entered in the form and then return the results - can anyone help? Thanks

I am afraid I can't help you without looking at the code inside the include file...
