Im using a tutorial on YouTube about how to make a search bar. right, so i have my index.php page and my search.php page, but when i click the "search" button, i get the last few characters come up from the search.php page, it comes up with this "; } } ?> when it should come up with either not enough characters, or you searched for $search. So how do i fix this? Thank you
