real dilema is how to use a variable in a query 
  
 $query = "SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE description LIKE 
('%"$searchKeyword"%')";
  
 gives me the following error
  
 Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in 
C:\wamp\www\DerekNugent\htdocs\index.php on line 14
  
 I think I've got the syntax wrong.
  
 Many thanks for getting back to me so fast!
  
 AWESOME

 //first page
 <form action = "second_page. php" method = "get">
 <input type = "text" name = "search" value = "search">
 <input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "search">
 
 //second page
 $keyword = $_GET['search' ]
 then you do the mysql stuff
