How do I use PHP with a from?

[real_computer_mac]

How would I use PHP and a HTML form to call a function or php page that searches a database and displays the results on the same page as the form?

you dont need AJAX. You can use just the simple SELECT command like so:

SELECT * FROM `tablename`

You'll want to do that with AJAX, which uses javascript. PHP can only display new data by reloading the page.
