Yep, you should never use NULL in your code, the following is catastrophically
bad...
$search = ($_GET['q'] ?? NULL);
$search = (isset($_GET['q']) ? $_GET['q'] : NULL); // Pre PHP 7
$search = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'q');
$search = $request->input('q'); // Laravel
$search = $request->get('q'); // Symfony
$search = $this->request->getQuery('q'); // CakePHP
$search = $request->getGet('q'); // CodeIgniter
$search = json_decode('{"q":null}');
And all fields in the database must be set to NOT NULL, never use things like
LEFT JOIN, etc... :-(
