I am very new to PHP about two hours.  I have a search page that I post back
to the same URL.  When the form is loaded I check to see if the seach
variable is set ($srch is the name of the text box on the form) and then
determine what function to call.  I either call a welcome message function
to be printed to the page or a function to search a database and build a
table of results.  I have included my script below....My question is:  Is
this a good way to handle search forms with PHP?  Since I have no examples
to work from I am not sure what the proper way is.

Thanks for the help.

 if (isset($srch)){
   if (strlen(trim($srch)) > 0) {
   $srch = strtoupper(trim($srch));
   buildtable($srch);
  }
  else {
   dispwelcome();
  }
  }
 else {
  dispwelcome();
 }
