<form method="GET"><input type=text name=title><input type=submit></form>

When removing the date option the script works fine. I think ive got an issue with multiple ".$_GET varibles. I have added the name to every date option with no success.. Im kind of new so dont be too hard on me

The month, day and year selects are separated from the form. That's why only the text input is transmitted when you submit the form.

The date fields are not within the <form>...</form> tags, so they are not being passed into the query string that $_GET gathers it's data from.
