Joomla Custom Search Help?

Hi all,
I am using Joomla 1.6 and I am building a client site where they need to allow the ability for members to look up their membership status.

They want it where the member inputs their first and last name and the date they became active is populated in a box below the form.

I am including an image to give you a better idea. Hoping someone can lead me in the correct direction on this.

Using Joomla 1.6
Custom template created mostly in Artisteer 3.0

Such a form will allow anyone else in the world to find that that information about a particular person.

Shouldn’t instead you have an Account Info page where the logged in user can find out info relating to their account?

Was my initial concern but thats how the cliebt wants it so who am I to argue? Lol

The only thing they will be looking up is date joined so its not anything to worry about
