Search Help

[pauldonnelly23]

Hi, I've created this script which will allow me to search mySQL database via PHP. My only problem is I dont know how to create php in my script to display "Sorry, No Records Found" and if the form is left blank an error msg to appear.

 

Can Anyone Help Me?

 

Many Thanks,

Paul

"WHERE pubname LIKE '%".$search."%'".
" OR pubcounty LIKE '%".$search."%'" .
" ORDER BY pubcounty"); 
                                    
                    
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
