I think this is what you are asking about...
Your HTML form should look like this:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="results.php">
Search: <input type="text" name="q" size="23" 
maxlength="30" /> 
<input type="submit" value="Search" /> <input type="reset" value=" 
Clear " />
<br />Input the name you want to search for.</form>
Then when the Search button is pressed, the file "results.php" is 
loaded, and the query is in the string "q" (given by the "name" bit 
above.) In PHP, this needs to be used like any other string, by adding 
a dollar sign. So on your results page, you might have:
<?php echo "You searched for $q"; ?>
Hope this helps.

If POST is failing to give you any data...
You may also want to check to see if file_uploads is On in php.ini. If 
it's Off, POST doesn't seem to work.
