May I know why I cannot submit my search function by pressing enter? When I enter the primary key and press enter, it will show this :
Notice: Undefined index: submit in c:\easyphp1-8\www\efiling\accountingdeleteprocess.php on line 23

But if I enter the primary key and press the submit button, there is no error. May I know how to make it can search by pressing enter?
Below is my coding :

AccountingDelete.php

I haven't personally seen that one before, but the first thing that jumps out at me is the difference in case between the error and the page you are POSTing to:

The Error:
c:\easyphp1-8\www\efiling\accountingdeleteprocess.php

The Form:
AccountingDeleteProcess.php

I would start by making sure the case in the form is the same as the actual location of the file, because my personal guess is it's something 'goofy' and small causing the issue.

You really answered your own question. :-) Look.

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">

$submit = $_POST["submit"];

But you didn't press submit. You pressed enter. Which is obvious by the error:

Notice: Undefined index: submit

You also have another smallish problem here:

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Delete'>
<input type ='submit' name='submit' value='Back'>

You should name these two different values, and definately shouldn't use "submit" for a named item anywhere. Though you're not using Javascript, these are reserved for input type=submit and the function submit(). But since you're not using those, you escape unscathed . . .

Solution to the problem at hand: put a hidden field in your forms, act on that value instead of the submit button so you can press enter.
