This is where my code is at now with all I have done to it up to this point. i have looked at it alot over the weekend and I dont know if I over looked something or what but I just cant seem to see where the issue is.search error we dont have a search perameter
Code: Select all
<?php

//select database
mysql_select_db($database_logon) or die ( "Unable to select database!" );
//specify how many results to display per page

// Get the search variable from URL
$var = $_GET['q'];
