Hello everybody, ...
i program a modul where the user can input some keywords in an input field and if he clicks on "search", the results will be shown. So my problem now is, how do i say that the input field and the button is in the top_block of the site and when he clicks on "search" the result are shown in the content_block.

maybe its very easy, but i'm new in drupal and don't know exactly how all of drupal works, ...

toby,

"sorry for my bad english! :-)"

I'm going to use a bunch of terms that you will want to search for in Drupal, but the procedure below seems sound to me.

You can use hook_block to create the block code, then allow the user to place it wherever they want (including the header region). Then when the user clicks submit, your submit handler constructs a url like 'search/your/search/terms' and this url is inserted as the single argument in drupal_goto(), and you use hook_menu to create a callback for the 'search' terms.

In your callback function you use the 'function_get_args()' (or whatever it is called) function to find out what arguments your callback was called with, and it will return an array like so:

array('your', 'search', 'terms');

since the additional parts of the url are passed to the callback function.

In your callback you can use the search terms to display whatever content you want.
