error message in search form

[h4r00n]

Hi guys, I have a search form and it is working perfectly, but when a result is not found, it states nothing found but it also shows this message:

 

Notice: Undefined variable: results in C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\wamp\www\Pages\search.php on line 282

 

and line 282 is

}else{return $results;}

 

the whole coding for that section is

function getResults($db,$masterQuery){
$query = $db->query($masterQuery);
if(@$db->numRows($query)>0){
	//we have a result
	while($row=$db->fetchArray($query)){$results[] = $row;}
	@mysql_free_result($query);
	return $results;
}else{return $results;}

it's because $results isn't defined yet.

here's how I would do this

function getResults($db,$masterQuery){
$results=False; 
   $query = $db->query($masterQuery);
         //we have a result
      while($row=$db->fetchArray($query)){$results[] = $row;}
      @mysql_free_result($query);
   }
   return $results;
}

Then you can just check for results on the next page and if it's true do whatever you need to do.

With the above coding, it shows NOTHING FOUND which is good but no results are shown at all. It sticks to NOTHING FOUND.
