hallow iam using this code to retrieve person data from database but every time i tried i got erorr the code:

Code: Select all

$retrive="SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE FirstName=."$_POST["FirstName"]".";

i think i is a problem with( $_POST ) dots and double quotes so what is right code

its correct but you can also use it like this

$retrive="SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE FirstName= $_POST['FirstName']";

because variable name in double quotes resolves and parse from php.
