sending data from form to db and url

[oxidetones]

hey folks,

I have a single field form on my page for searching. right now the search term is sent to the url of the following page with GET, and in a variable is then processed by an sql query to return results.

What I would like to do is create a cloud of search terms using my mysql db. Is there a simple way of getting the search term entered into the DB as well as sent to the url of the following page?

thanks, Adam
