Stupid Search Problem easy fix.

[Gayner]

if (isset($_POST['search']) AND $_POST['search'])
$search_string = strtolower( str_replace( "*" , "%", $_POST['search'] ) );
$search_string = preg_replace( "/[<>\!\@£\$\^&\+\=\=\[\]\{\}\(\)\"';\.,\/]/", "", $search_string );
echo $search_string;

 

But whenever I DONT USE MY SEARCH BUTTON I GET UNIDENTIFIED ERROR cause it's underneath a IF function..

 

How do i stop the error if no1 is pressing my search button from $_POST['search'] on my form

your code should be

 

if (isset($_POST['search'])) {
    $search_string = strtolower( str_replace( "*" , "%", $_POST['search'] ) );
   $search_string = preg_replace( "/[<>\!\@£\$\^&\+\=\=\[\]\{\}\(\)\"';\.,\/]/", "", $search_string );
   echo $search_string;
}
