A little (searchbar) help would be amazing <3

Could use Wordpress and custom post types?

Although a bespoke system would probably work a lot better, are you requiring users to add records to the database from the front-end or would it just be an 'admin style' action?

Well that sounds fairly straightforward. You'll need a three column table in your database; index (essential) as an automatic integer, movie name and details. Then a php select statement (i.e. select all xxx from xxx where movie title = what the user has searched for and then echo out the resulting table contents into HTML.

then you can use Chris_17's javascript suggestion to give it more of a 'live search' feel.

If you want to learn PHP then this set of tutorials is great; PHP 101 (part 1): Down the Rabbit Hole It will give you all you need to build what you want (and more).

Dive in mate, it's the only way!

Chris: Thanks for the reply, my site wont require any users to add in records to the database, they can solely just type in a movie name of choice and see a small amount of info directly below the search bar, so it would only be me that can add new tites to the database :)

Corrosive: Cheers for the reply and advice sounds exciting and i would really love to make this, ill start reading that tutorial and see how i get on, :') if my brain decides to fail and give up on me i shall pm you for professional help.

so MySQL, / PHP is defiantly the way to go? remember i don't want my site to look anything like a blog etc.. just plain/bare and simple with a search box in the middle, kinda like googles front page!

.........Splash :D

As Corrosive said, just go for it, if you have any problems just post them on here, download XAMPP and have a play!

Remember as well to consider if you want to query the database for an exact match from the user or similar.
