<?php
//connect to our database
mysql_connect("localhost","***","***");
mysql_select_db("***");

//explode our search term
$search_exploded = explode(" ",$search);

foreach($search_exploded as $search_each)
{
//construct query
$x++;
if ($x==1)
	$construct .= "username LIKE '%$search_each%'";
else
	$construct .= " OR username LIKE '%$search_each%'";			
}
//echo out construct

$construct = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE $construct";
$run = mysql_query($construct);

$foundnum = mysql_num_rows($run);

if ($foundnum==0)
echo "You searched for <b>$search</b>. No results found.";
else
{
echo "You searched for <b>$search</b><br>$foundnum result(s) found!<p><hr size='1' width='387'color='#E6E6E6'>";

while ($runrows = mysql_fetch_assoc($run))
{
	//get data
	$state = ucwords($runrows['state']);
	$url = $runrows['url'];
	$username = ucwords($runrows['username']);
	$imagelocation = $runrows['imagelocation'];
	if ($imagelocation == "") 
	{
		$imagelocation = "./profileimages/noprofilepic.jpg";
	} 
	echo "
	<img src ='$imagelocation' width='100' height='105' border='0' align='left' style='padding-right:10px'><br>
	<b>$username</b><br>
	$state<br>
	<a href='$url'>View Profile</a><br><br><br>
	<hr size='1' width='387' align='left' color='#E6E6E6'>
	";

and yes i ment "positioning"

[abazoskib]

you mean the ad box?

try

 

<div id="wb_Shape2" style="position: absolute; top: -94px; left: -15px; height: 500px; width: 791px; z-index: -1;" align="center">

 

best fix I can thin of. for now, its a very odd way of doing things you have there.

Yes! Did you dig this website out from some archives? I see code from the early 1990's in there. <font> tag? Absolute positioning? I'm loving this.

 

Solution: Use static positioning w/ floats.
