Great post, this is just what I was looking for my website.
One question: How can I restrict the query from displaying all records in the table when the “search for what?” box is left blank. I only want it to display the data when I enter something in the “search for what?” box and give an error message if left blank or if the user is searching for something that is not in the table. Thanks you.

It says that just before you have searched something, then it doesnt come anymore…

Thank you. I was looking in the top section, did not look at the bottom.

Great write up thank you!!

Quick question, I am obviously new at php.

How do I get rid of the line that shows the query above the table?

That error is typically generated by not using the ‘isset’ function properly. Can you post what you have on that line and a couple lines above it and below it and I can see if I see the problem?
