echoing mysql result

Hey everyone. I have a simple form with three fields, when the user
submits, I want the php to echo under the form the results in my sql
table that match the three fields in the form. I'm tried to use
variables similar to:

$typeinform="document.myform.mytype.value";
$typeinals="document.myform.myals.value";
$typeinfdoi="document.myform.myfdoi.value";

$myQuantity = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM totals WHERE type =
'$typeinform'
AND als = '$typeinals'
AND fdoi = '$typeinfdoi'

I'm basically trying to figure out how to get the php to echo that
result in my page after the user submits. I've tried this...


<<<FORM>>>>
<?php
echo $myQuantity;
?>

It doesn't return anything though, any ideas?

The tutorial in the PHP manual can give a general idea of how form
handling works:

http://es2.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php

Hint: $_GET and $_POST

Also, document.myform.mytype.value is client-side JavaScript. PHP is a
server-side language.

ok thanks very much! I knew I got turned around somewhere! Learning
Javascript, php, and mysql all withing about 2 months of each other
probably wasn't the best idea!
