Explanation / Answer

Its not clear what you want to do.

If you enter a movie name what will happen? whether it will search the database for the name?

What will happen after submit is pressed?

--------------------------------------

However if you want to show whether the movie is in the databse or not?

You can do the following..

In the file which u have written. Ask the user to enter a movie name.

After submitting this will go to week5.php

In week5.php ,take the movie name in a variable like...

$movie=$_POST["movie_name"];

now you can search the database whether this movie exists or not.

finally you return back to first page saying correct or incorrect.
