andyy121:
mysql_real_escape_string will require a database connection.

I would suggest you approach from a different angle

if (isset($_POST['keyword'])){
    $keywords = strip_tags(trim($_POST['keywords']));
    echo $keywords; // remove the ''
}
else {
    echo "Keywords is empty";
}

[andyy121]

if (isset ($_POST['keywords'])){

$errors = array ();

if (empty ($keywords)){
$errors[] = ('Please enter a serch terms');
}else if (strlen($keywords)<3){
$errors[] = ('Your search terms must be three or more characters');
}else if (1==2){
$errors []= ('Your seach for '.$keywords.' returned no results');

Did you read Squidge question?

mysql_real_escape_string will require a database connection.

Do you have a db connection?

[andyy121]

yes i have,i have create a db,
article_id,titel ,description,url,keywords.

[urtrivedi]

line 2 comment it
$keywords =mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(trim($_POST['keywords'])));

line 3 add new line
$keywords =$_POST['keywords'];

Line 20 change as follow
echo "$error,</br>";

@Squidge it wasnt verey helpful your reply but i have fix it by the way thnx for the help

[Squidge]

@andyy121:
Quite frankly with the attitude you come on to the forum with i have given up caring.

People on here have help you and pointed you in viable directions, and yet you seem to think everyone on here owes you something.

If it was possible i would have you blocked from my profile, and considering how rude you were on the last thread, good ridence to you.

@Mods,

No offence intended to anyone on here, but this guys attitude sucks.

[andyy121]

sory if i have offended you are someone else, with the help of all i have learn a lot in php sorry for everything adn thank you all
