When I go to post, I get the following alert...."Couldn't execute query" so
I know I can connect, so it must be my SQL statement. That why I wondering
how to pass the menu information to php so that it can do the SQL statement.
I don't have $abc in the menu but I do have abc. So I am trying to find out
how to do that. Maybe I am going about it the wrong way.
