When I click "Search" or "Add" the
form4.php loads itself. This happens only when I check "
Movie" in the radio buttons. "Actor" and "Director" seem to work fine.
Somebody has already posted something similar, but he didn´t put the code for us to see and the other guy who answered couldn´t help. So please can someone help on it finally?
I would really appreciate if you post your codes if they have worked with you.
Please help me!!!!
