MetaSearch PHP3 code to PHP4 or 5

[techdude]

Hello!

I have been stuck trying to use a MetaSearch PHP script for my website. (Script located here: http://planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=237&lngWId=8) The script is in PHP3 and the server is PHP4. Can someone convert the script or tell me how to convert or fix it?

Sorry..im a beginner.

have you tried running it on your server? Does it produce any errors? if so, please post some of the errors. Chances are they'll tell us what changes need to be made, then we can help walk you through them.

You can test out the script here and see the error that I am explaining below: http://techdude.freeweb7.com/search1/

When I type in a search term and click Search, the script gives a error of "ERROR: Please enter a search query." which means that the variable might not be passing on the search query properly right? So how do I pass on a variable from one PHP page to a second PHP page in PHP4?

Is there another Free PHP MetaSearch script that anyone knows about? I want the script to search for example, Google, Yahoo, MSN and then present the results on 1 page...like Dogpile does.
