Hello I am posting this here as I put a question into another post that should of been by its self, I have figured it out so decided to post it.
this works with out " " around the search string:
echo "Search results for:
<a href='http://www.google.com/search?q= ". $pno ." '>". $pno ."</a><br /> \|";
this works with putting " " around the search string:
echo "Search for exact match:
<a href='http://www.google.com/search?q= \"". $pno ."\" '>". $pno ."</a><br />";
Hope this help someone else!
Sincerely,
Christopher
