	}else{
$kt=split(" ",$search_text);//Breaking the string to array of words
// Now let us generate the sql 
		while(list($key,$val)=each($kt)){
if($val<>" " and strlen($val) > 0){$query .= " name like '%$val%' or ";}

		}// end of while
$query=substr($query,0,(strLen($query)-3));
// this will remove the last or from the string.

$q=mysql_query("select distinct class from student");

Hi tomtimms!!  MAGIE.. don;t know why but now working... except for one thing I receive this message

 

Notice: Undefined index: todo in .............search-db.php on line 16

 

 

this is the code at the line 16

 

$todo=$_POST['todo'];

$_POST['todo'] isn't defined when you try and access it. Instead of....

 

$todo=$_POST['todo'];
if(isset($todo) and $todo=="search"){

 

You should use...

 

if (isset($_POST['todo']) && $_POST['todo'] == "search") {
    $todo=$_POST['todo'];
    // rest of code
