I am learning PHP and in the process of making a search engine. The following code will not echo the users input, in the search field, on the results page.
The search page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Search Engine</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background:#F0FFFF;
margin:-80px;
}
form {
margin:25%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="result.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="user_query" size="80" placeholder="Enter Search Here" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search Now" />
</body>
</html>
The results page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Results</title>
<style type="text/css">
.results {
margin:5%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#F0FFFF">
<form action="result.php" method="get">
<span><b>Enter Query Here:</b></span>
<input type="text" name="user_keyword" size="80" />
<input type="submit" name="result" value="Search Now" />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['search'])) {
$get_value = $_GET['user_query'];
echo "<div class='results'>
$get_value;
</div>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Can someone tell me why the user's input is not being echoed when the search is run?
